COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By Spectator
I'm told that our friends, the Electric Coops, are asking
candidates for the Legislature to pledge their votes for the
Coop plan to operate in towns and cities and to serve indus
trial plants also.
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.

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.

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
