NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 1960 I can face the tragedies of life with some composure, but the minor irritations get me down. ^ $2.00 PER YEAH f w M- m TABULATION BY PRECINCTS ■ ■ ’ . ■ • ''' PRECINCT MANAGERS were busy all day Tuesday, handling and counting the four separate groups of ballots in the various contests.

Condemning Private Property Is Not Popular, Says Amendment No. 6 Vote Alarmed at the prospect of a small group having the power to condemn private property, county voters by a decisive majority threw out Constitutional Amend ment No. 6 in the Tuesday pri mary. In 46 oi the 50 boxes, the vote was 1966 in favor of the .amendment, 2855 against. Ward 2 (for which amendment votes are not recorded on the tabulation on this page) voted 155 in favor, 281 against the amendment. Thirty-one of the 46 precincts reported (including every city ward) rejected the proposal. Information received by The Sun from Charleston is that that County also rejected the amend ment. Amendment No. 6, Newberry County, was worded as follows: “A joint resolution proposing an amendment to Article I, Section 17 of the Constitution of South Carolina, 1895, Relating to Crim inal Punishment, Double Jeopardy and the Taking of Private Proper ty, so as to authorize the General Assembly to provide by law that incorporated municipalities or housing or redevelopment author ities in Newberry County may un dertake and carry out slum clear ance and redevelopment work and to provide for the use of the pow er of eminent domain by the in corporated municipalities or hous ing authorities in Newberry coun ty for such purposes.” By The Way ~ Jt)ori3 Sander3 ONLY ONE Ashley Cooper of The News and Courier says: “Take heart. Only one of them got elected.”. That, perhaps, is a consolation of sorts. Tom O’Connor of The Allendale County Citizen said before the election, “if the Democrats win, and start pushing through their socialistic programs, I’ll be able to say T told you so’.” I hope I won’t have that con solation. I hope Mr. Kennedy won’t keep his platform promise and inte grate the population of the coun try in every phase of community life by 1963. I hope Mr. Kennedy won’t force as he has promised to do, the re peal of right-to-work laws which have given the governor of South Carolina such a fine selling point in attracting new industry, and which give you the right to choose your job without having tcf join a onion. I hope Mr. Kennedy won’t take away the State’s right to set its standards for voting qualifica*- , tions, as he promises to do by law to make it illegal for illiteracy to be a test for voting qualifications. I hope Mr. Kennedy won’t seize control of the state’s schools by pouring in billions in federal aid : v to education and pouring with it an equitable distribution of each race in each school. I hope Mr. Kennedy won’t subsi dize the teachers, although per sonally, since my husband is a teacher, we would be better d&ff. Tm afraid he would be trying, at the same time, to subsidize the , teachers minds and their textbooks with what the “New Frontier” deenfs advisable for the youth of j four years. It would be foolish to say I am not disappointed. I am. There is a saying “no use crying over spilt milk,” but I am deeply concerned about the future of our great na tion. I can only hope for the best.

The special sale ended Wednesday.

The Newberry Indians have a 3-5 won-loss record. The Cata mounts have won five and lost four of their games, and are a big threat in the North State Confer ence. Newberry head-coach Harvey Kirkland offered the following statement: ‘This will be the best home game played this season. The tribe must win its remaining three games in order to pull out a winning season.” The ‘Catamounts” are paced of fensively by their sophomore QB, Keji Morgan, and defensively by All-Conference tackle Danny Wil liams, a Little All-American can didate. Morgan leads the West Carolinians in total offense with 615 yards (315 rushing, 300 pass ing) in eight games. Tom Broad water, senior halfback, leads in pass receiving with 137 yards for an average of 1.4 yards per catch.

While all “up-town” wards showed a majority of votes cast for Nixon, the margin was not enough to offset the heavy vote for Kennedy in predominately tex tile precincts Ward 3, No. 2, Ward 5 and Oakland; and in Ward 4, No. 2, where the majority of vot ers are Negroes and textile work ers. Ward 3, No. 2, the Mollo- hon precinct, gave Kennedy a mar- gin of 327, more than the 283 Jolly Street and the' two ty boxes. Tying the vote were Mt. Pleas ant, Union and Sahida No. 7. * In addition to the large city textile wards, Kennedy led in both Whitmire .precincts and in the other county boxes not listed above in the Nixon column; *' Nixon maintained a lead in:v Newberry County after 40 boxes were totaled, but the picture changed quickly as the next five boxes, inchiding Wards **-2, 8*2 and 5 were reported. The total at: that point was 2734 fox Kennedy, 2290 for Nixon. Although four of the remaining five boxes favored Nixon, the margin was not enough to offset the lead which had been piled up by Democrats. The total vote was 8131 for Kennedy, 2848 for Nixon.
