As the County treasurers informed me, the Coops do not pay taxes. The Coops are (innocently, I’m sure) carrying out a so cialist scheme which the Washington bureaucrats are try ing to accomplish. Ninetj -seven percent of the farmers now have electricity. Forty-three percent of that is from the po wer companies. But the Coops want more than farm patron age; they want to dominate the business. Ask your County treasurer to tell you the amount of taxes paid by the Coops (if any at alH and the amount paid by the power companies. The schools of your County; and all other public services are largely supported by taxes paid by the power companies. Is your County rich enough to operate without taxes? I repeat my suggestion recently made in my Spectator and over a number of radio stations that some citizen should apply f >r an injunction to restrain the South Carolina Demo cratic Executive Committee from requiring an oath that anyone voting in the Primary should be bound (morally) to support the nominees of the Primary in the General Elect ion. I mentioned then that anyone planning to vote for Mr. Workman or Mr. Spence—in the General Election—w r ould be barred from so doing by the oath to support the nominee of the Democratic Primary. That means that if a citizen takes such an oqth, and does not participate in the General Election, he may fail to support candidates for many other positions. Why not clarify this by eliminating the restriction, letting the citizen exercise his suffrage without embarassment or hindrance ? One of my brethren of the law asked me how a Judge would find jurisdiction to intervene. Now that raises a point in which Law, Sociology, Politics and President Kennedy might becloud the issue to the point of low visibility, as our naval officers said when the fog obscured the position of the enemy. Now let’s take our bearings and see where we are and whi ther we are going. m ^ ^ - Frank H. Ward WILL BE Deeply Grateful FOR YOUR Vote and Support ON TUESDAY, JUNE 12 IN HIS RACE FOR Probate Judge I need the job and will put forth every ounce of my energy to give courteous, efficient service to the people of Newberry County If elected the office of your Probate Judge will be open to each an devery citizen, to serve you in a fair and impartial manner. —KOTf FOR FRANK H. WARD ON JUNE 12— I am—and have been—for many, many years— a member of The Farmers’ Platform Club of Clarendon County. That is—and always has been—a Democratic Club, although many of the members voted for both Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. Nix on. In fact Clarendon, long a rock-ribbed stronghold of Dem ocracy, has voted three times for the Republican presiden tial tickets. Did that taint or polor our Democracy ? Not a bit. Is our Democratic Party a private organization? Well, herein comes the confusion. Some months ago I presented myself to vote in a Munici pal Democratic Primary. I’m on the Farmers’ Platform roll; years ago that was the only requirement for voting in Muni cipal, County and State Democratic Primaries. But I found that I must produce and submit my Registration Certificate. Did the Town issue that? Did the County Democratic Con vention issue or require that? I had to move fast to apply for a registration certificate as mine was not at hand. Where and to whom did I apply in order to vote in that Municipal Primary? Now if I have to be certified by a State Commission to be eligible to vote in a purely Democratic Primary, then the State having assumed and exercised that jurisdiction, a State Judge is competent to intervene; likewise, in this brave day of federal intervention, a Federal court might intervene in order that the right of suffrage might be unimpeded. The Federal Government, it seems to me, has assumed that our unblemished Democracy, being the real government, ipso facto, sine qua non, ne plus ultra, etc., etc., discriminations in the Democratic Primary strike at the root of a citizen’s suffrage and his inalienable right to exercise the Sovereign prerogative of citizenship. Now then: the certificate of Registration, which estab lished my prerogative as a citizen was issued by the Board of Registration of Clarendon County, a Commission appointed by the Governor of the State in his Sovereign attribute as Governor of a great State. Now of the Governor’s Commis sion establishes my right to vote why does not a State Judge have the jurisdiction that calls for equality before the law? At any rate I have no doubt that the Federal Department of Justice would gladly intervene if some citizen alleged that he was denied the right to vote, even in our Primary. So there you are. Boil it to essentials: if a State Board (Commission) certifies to my qualifications as an elector before I can vote in a municipal primary, the State has al ready assumed and exercised all the jurisdiction necessary to enjoin the State Democratic Executive Committee from in fringing on my liberty to exercise the ballot according to my own discretion. 3209 12-20 Yes, sir, it takes thousands of water. In the long ago, dim antiquity, when men were men—and all that—I visited a prosperous farmer of Saluda County. He bought a car of cattle every fall and fattened them for the Spring market. As we walked around “the lot,” looking over the herd and observing the heavy feeding, lasked “Mr. X. do you find that it pays you to fatten cattle through the winter?” “Yes, it does; it is a good market for my feed, but it takes thousands of water.” Just like that—“thousands of water.” Let’s see about it: “The average home uses 16,000 gallons of water a month, and to irrigate an acre of arid farm land for one growing season requires 1,600,000 gallons. It takes five barrels of water to refine one barrel of crude oil, and 700 gallons to process a ton of oranges into canned juice. A brewer needs 13 gallons of water to make a gallon of beer. Of such damp statistics, signifying the immense water (Continued on page 6) 1217 Or#** Pattern No. 3209—Dainty Shirt wairtmr—Yes, there are sleeves in th< pattern, but so many prefer to go sleeve less.
