SANDERS CHOICE WORDS The editor of the Richmond News Leader, whose name, I be lieve, is Kilpatrick, doesn’t mind saying what he thinks and he uses choice words and phrases to do it. I believe you will enjoy the fol lowing editorial, reprinted in the Charleston News and Courier last week: BILL’S CHANCE Tuesday’s election in South Carolina brought a landslide vic tory, as they say, for Olin John ston in his campaign for renomi nation to the United States Sen ate. He swamped Governor Ernest F. Hollings by a humiliating mar gin of 180,000 to 90,000. It was a bad time for Mr. Hollings, anc in South Carolina, it is said that no one recently has deserved more richly than he. Senator Johnston is one of those post-New Deal, ersatz po-white Liberals, who has thrived on the Southerner’s disgraceful tendency to soak Uncle Sam while the soak ing is good. Whenever he has felt a decent conservatism creeping over him, Senator Johnston has tended to lie down until the prin ciple went away. His opponent in the primary, the handsome, stalwart, firm-jawed Mr. Hollings, is known from Greenville to Charleston as a sheer opportunist: He has been a con servative segregationist -when the wind blew from the Low Country, but a fast man on the sails when the wind seemed to shift. From the point of view of young William D. Workman—or middle- aged William D. Workman, come to think of it—Tuesday’s primary could not have turned out more favorably. Mr. Workman is South Carolina’s Republican nominee for the Senate. In the view of the railbirds, he has about as much chance of winning the post as a branch-head Baptist has of being elected Pope* but in a campaign against Brother Johnston, Bill Workman has a chance. He is a tee-totaler, non-smoking Baptist type himself, and his conservatism runs wall to wall. In his candidacy for the Senate, Mr. Workman will be able to offer South Carolina a clean - cut, Straight-forward choice between dedicated and enlightened conser vatism on the one hand, and Mr. Johnston’s spurious, self-seeking, bogus liberalism on the other. The two nominees could not be more unlike. Perhaps it is not wholly beyond the bounds of possibility that South Carolina ■will recognize this clear distinction, and respond to it in November. Is Injured In Collision Mrs. Fred Vigodsky was taken to Newberry Memorial Hospital for observation and treatment Wednesday morning following a collision between the car she was driving and a truck driven by Jim McCaughrin. Mr. McCaughrin was not injured. Both cars were badly damaged, according to city police men who investigated the acci dent.

For Probate Office Tuesday With Red Cross At French Base Miss Martha Vance Ellesor, daughter of Mrs. P. G. Ellesor of Newberry, is Field Director of the American Red Cross at Laon Air Base, France. In a recent issue of and his B.D. degree from Virginia I the flf 11 *! 116 *’ °M- C ^ a ^?, eWS " Theological Seminary in Alexan- I )a P er base, Miss Ellesor South Carolinians, taking one Southern State with another, have demonstrated the greatest ma turity, the greatest calmness, the greatest sense of timeless values, since the Supreme Court blow sent the South reeling eight years ago. While most other Southerners have lost their heads, South Carolinians have kept theirs. Mississippi, Ala bama, Louisiana and Georgia have been kicked around like so many dogs, but South Carolina has re mained genteely apart from the fray. And the schools of Claren don County are still segregated, and still going. South Carolina’s choice of a U. S. Senator is in one sense none of Virginia’s business. But there are only 100 Senators, and in a broad er sense, any senatorial election is everyone’s business. We in Vir ginia do care who South Carolina Bends to the upper chamber. Ann McAlhany, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Preston McAlhany, and Jo Tindall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Tindall, are spending this week in Columbia with their aunt, Mrs. George Bailey. dria, Virginia, last year. Before entering the ministry, Mr. Long served as a business executive in Columbia. He is married to the former Margaret Elizabeth DuPre of Columbia, and they have one daughter, Helen Susanne. The procession for the ordina tion will form in front of historic St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at 10:30 a.m. The ord^r of the pro cession will be 'thv crucifer; the choir, the visiting diocesan clergy, the preacher, the reader of the Preface to the Ordinal, the litan- ist, the Epistler, the Gospeler, the presenter, the ordinand, and the Bishop. The ceremony begins with the sermon which will be preached by the Reverend James R. Rowland, Vicar of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Batesburg. The Reverend Edwm B. Clippard, a former Vicar of St. Luke’s and now rector of dent was pictured receiving a gift dur ing the Red Cross Fund Drive from two “Airmen of the Month”, who shared their winnings for be ing named for that honor with the Red Cross. Another item in the newspaper told of the Laon’s Junior Red Cross visiting a home for the aged at Easter time to distribute cook ies and candies and to talk to the people in the home. They were accompanied by Miss Ellesor. Cox Is Head Of Aiken Jaycees Marvin Douglas Cox was install ed as President of the Aiken Jun ior Chamber of Commerce last Friday evening at the Annual Awards and Installation Banquet held at the R.E.A. Auditorium. He also received an award for out standing chairmanship of Christmas Parade. Active in the Aiken Javc A surprising number of voters ,164 of them—turned out to vote in the one lone race in the second Democratic Primary Tues day, and by a large majority nominated Frank Ward to the of fice of Probate Judge of Newberry County.

And with the deepest affection and respect to our brothers in the Palmetto State, we cannot hold back a profound hope, that Bill Workman’s simple, stubborn, homespun conservatism will prove to have a great appeal this fall. Senator Johnston is said to have a lock on the “colored vote.” Seg regationist though he is. Bill Workman is the more entitled to it—out of a deeper and more de voted sense of the rights and lib erties of all men. Mr. Workman, whom we have known as a topnotch new?*'-—-?r- man for many years ,has every quality it takes to serve a state ■well in the Senate. Party labels have long since become meaning less. What does ‘“Republican” mean? Bill Workman is a first-rate Southern Conservative. This is all the definition that matters to us, and we hope to be pardoned a pub lic prayer that in Novemb^”, in the privacy of the polls, that is all that *ill matter to the proud and independent people of South Caro lina.
