OPEN FORUM Dear Sir: # Taxation without representation is a noxious phrase to Americans —therefore, it may come as a surprise to many South Carolin ians to discover that taxation without representation is a reality in our State today. Each year we disfranchise a sizeable portion of our population with our two year residence requirement for voting. New residents pay state taxes af ter they have lived here for one year; they are not allowed to vote until they have lived here for two years. South Carolina citizens will be given an opportunity to correct this situation on November 6th when they may vote on a proposed amendment to the Constitution which would change residence re quirements for voting from two years to one years residence in the State, from one year to 6 months in the county, and from 4 months to three months in the precinct. South Carolina is now one of only two States which still require a two year residence period as a qualification for voting. We real ize that some objection to reduc ing this requirement is based upon the theory that a person residing in the State less than two years is not familiar with local condi tions or candidates. At least 48 States have not felt that it took this long. For a number of years South Carolina has been encouraging in dustry to move into the State. It is paradoxical that we welcome the industry and yet deprive its em ployees a vote for two full years. The League of Women Voters of South Carolina, after an exten sive study of the election laws of the State, is of the opinion that it would be to the best interest of South Carolina to reduce the re quirements for voting. We urge all citizens to vote in favor of the proposed amendment. Let's do away with taxation without rep resentation in South Carolina. It is as unfair here today as it was in the Colonies in 1776! Boys In Service FRANKFURT, Germany (AHT NC)—Army Specialist Four Joe E. Dowd, whose wife, Brenda, lives on Rt. 2, Newberry, recently par ticipated in FALLEX, a large- scale NATO exercise in Germany. The ten-day exercise ended late in September. FALLEX is an annual exercise designed to test the over-all com bat readiness and effectiveness of NATO forces in Europe. Specialist Dowd, assigned as a lithographic platemaker in the 69th Engineer Company in Frank furt, entered the Army in 1953. He was stationed at Fort Jackson, and arrived overseas on this tour of duty in January, 1961. Wai Still Try For Duke Plant Congressman Wm. Jennings B. Dorn told the House today that he wished Duke' could have been permitted to build the gigantic steam plant on the Savannah riv er. There was no opposition to it. It would not cost the taxpayer one penny, but instead would oav huge sums of taxes to the Fed eral government, tr.e State gov ernment and to the county. Mr. Dorn said he was grateful to the Speaker, the Majority lead- der, and the distinguished Chair man of the Rules Committee, Mr. Smith, and to every single mem ber of the House on both sides of the aisle who backed him magnif icently in the fight for Duke. Mr. Dorn said to the House, “We lost this round, but the next round comes up in January." Mr. Dorn’s statement afterward said that he had just begun the fight for free enterprise, for op portunity, and the rights of busi ness and individuals to move for ward" through their own thrift, energy and ambition; and through such, provide for the people bet ter wages, less taxes, and a higher standard of living. Mr. Dorn said, “As long as I am a member of Congress, I am going to stand up for the right of every individual and every com pany to be heard by the Congress on questions affecting their life and property. It is a question of honor and principle. It is a basic concept of our representative gov ernment and our way of life. L will always stand by the right of our people to be heard."

It happened 100 YEARS ago The oldest incorporated trade association in the country, the United States Brewers Association, was organized in 1862 ... the same year that et -4il 3 fS'5SrM : ^ 13 IN SOUTH CAROLINA, the world’* fir»t way»id* hospital was established by the young women of the state. The hospital in Columbia, located where railway lines brought wounded Confederate troops, sheltered 75,000 soldiers. Then, as now, beer was the traditional beverage of moderation. But beer means more than en joyment to our state. The brewing industry con tributes more than 7 million tax dollars to South Carolina each year—money that helps support our hospitals, schools, and highways. TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States Brewers Association still works constantly to as sure maintenance of high standards of quality and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.

Because of the short time re maining in which to register ve hicles, the Department urged ad owners to get their new plates over the counter instead of order ing them by mail. Officials said vehicle owners who ordered plates by mail now are in danger of not receiving then: by the October 31 deadline. Approximately 493,000 sets of license plates for the new' yeai were issued through October 12. Department officials estimate there are almost 390,000 vehicle^ yet to be registered.

Officials again emphasized that there can be no extension of the license re newal period. Salvation Army s manifold activ ities. AMERICANA College Notebook Wake Forest College More than a century and a quarter ago a runaway horse threw a Yankee preacher in North Carolina. Wait Chapel, the dominant building on the new $20 million Wake Forest College campus, is named in the minister’s honor. For Wake Forest in particular and for North Carolina education in general, Samuel Wait’s difficul ties were a boon. Having lost his horse, the circuit preacher de cided to remain in North Carolina rather than return to New York. In 1830, when the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina was formed. Dr. Wait was ont of the leaders. One of the convention’s main purposes was to establish an educational institution. Two years later, in 1832, the Convention bought a 600-acre farm in Wake County and on Feb. 3, 1834, Wake Forest Institute was opened with Dr. Wait as principal. TTie site is about 16 miles north of Raleigh, the capitol of North Carolina. Enrollment that first semester was 16. Wake Forest grew and prospered, despite a multitude of problems, and became one of the outstanding colleges in the South. In 1946 Wake Forest encountered a new opportunity when the state’s Baptists decided to move the college to Winston-Salem, N. C. That was after the Z. Smith Rey nolds Foundation offered to pay Wake Forest $350,000 annually if friends ot the college would pro vide necessary buildings at the new site. The annual grant was increased in 1955 to $500,000. Ten years later, in 1956, the college made the historic, 110- mile move and is now firmly es tablished in its new home. The Bowman Gray School of Medicine of the college had been moved to Winston-Salem in 1941 when it received the resources of the Bow man Gray Foundation. Summer school opened on the new campus on June 18, 1956, the fall term on September 11 and formal dedication exercises were held on October 18. The old cam pus and buildings at Wake Forest were sold to the Southern Baptist Convention for use of the South eastern Baptist Theological Sem inary which now occupies the campus. Enrollment the 196C-61 year reached a record 2,604. An evening class program was started in 1957 to meet a steadily increasing de mand from residents in the im mediate area. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company made the pro gram possible with a $45,000 grant. ^TRIPPED OP MOST OF MIS UeHTHEAW TTTUE RECOdWinOM ARCHIE MOORE STILL COMMANDS ATTENTION... INTENT7C RETlRlMO. HE .
