COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
The announcement of Governor-'
Elect Russell that he will oppose'
any new or additional tax is heart
warming.
Soon the General Assembly will
meet. Senator Edgar A. Brown
will hold the reins in the Senate
and our able Solomon Blatt will ;
be Speaker of the House. Along
with the Speaker will be the very
efficient Clerk of the House, Miss
Inez Watson. My old comrade, R.
J. Aycock, will guide the Ways
and Means Committee.
My long and unweaned search
has been rewarded. At last I have
seen news from Pumpkin Town,
Pickens County. Both the fine pa
pers of Pickens carried the item of
the vote of Pumpkin Town.
I had thought that my brother,
Dr. C. S. Breedin, might apply for
citizenship in Pumpkin Town since
he has built a clinic in that prom
ising vicinity, after shaving off
large portions of the mountains. j
I’ll consult Leon Rice, Esquire,
of Anderson and Bill Johnston to
figure out just what we can do to
put all that beautiful scenery on
the map. Table Rock, you know. I

The finest—loking newspaper in
South Carolina these days is The
Journal of West Columbia. Print-1
ed on book paper and profusely il- j
lustrated it has spirit and stvle.
It is a maids paper, though edited
by a young lady.
By-the-way I saw' something of
interest to my Coop brethren: a
handsome photograph in The Jour
nal shows County Treasurer of
Lexington, Mrs. Murray Wessing-
er. receiving happily the check
from The South Carolina Electric
& Gas company for the sum of
$367,416.87, being the tax from
the big company for taxes for
1962, even after deducting 2 per
cent for early payment. Standing
by were two representatives of
the Power company, Messrs Jud-
son Wingard and E. R. Zeigler.
$367,416.87!
That’s real money in any lang
uage, but there is an item that
must go to the heart of everyone
of Lexington’s sturdy fathers,
mothers, grandfathers, grandmo
thers, uncles and aunts.
Guess what!
Of the $367,416.87 the County
uses $55,028.02 for general county
purposes, roads, public law en
forcement, sheriff, magistrate, au
ditor, treasurer, and other, but
$313,388.85 will be for the public
schools!
Think it over: three hundred
thirteen thousand, three hundred ,
eighty eight dollars from the pow- ,
er company for the schools, the
sons and daughters of Lexington
homes.
And how much does the Co-ops
pay ? Ask the county treasurer.
Well, here is a tonic, the charge
of a Mississippi Judge to a grand
jury. We should remember that!
the Kennedys violated and tramp
led on the Constitution and the
sacred liberties of thousands of
citizens in order to curry favor
with the colored citizens.
Unless we rebuke the arrogant
atitude and acts of the Kennedy
clan we shall establish a preced
ent that some day may be used
against colored people by a new
crowd in Washington. A National
policy or program of tit-for-tat
would be a national calamity, but
evil and unlawful acts by Govern
ment officials can become prece
dents of opposition to colored peo
ple.
The Kennedys may think they
have won a great victory but it
L what was once called a Phrrhic
victory, meaning that a victory
may result in a greater disaster
later.
The Mississippi Judge was de
claring the old, established law
of the land in his charge to the
Grand Jury; he spoke the lang
uage of ancient liberty in the face
of a Kennedy violation of sacred
rights of free mru.
I quote the Associated Press
dispatch, as published in The
State newspaper:
“Circuit Judge W. M. O’Barr
ordered the Lafayette County
Grand Jury Monday to refuse evi
dence gathered by what he called
unlawful Army searches and said
the Kennedy Administration was
moving toward a totalitarian dic
tatorship.
The strongly worded charge
came with mdications that indict
ments may be returned againct
those involved in recent rioting
and demonstrations since the en
trance of James H. Meredith to
the University of Mississippi.
O’Barr said the search of stu
dents’ rooms at Ole Miss by sold
iers was in violation of every con-
man. Every man shall be free
from unlawful search and seiz
ure’.
He added ‘I instruct you not to
consider any evidence brought be
fore you which may have been
obtained by an unlawful search
at the University of Mississippi.’
The native Mississippi judge, a
graduate of the Cumberland Uni
versity Law School, said the
Constitution had been ‘shorn of
all meaning by a diabolical poli
tical Supreme Court made up of
politically greedy old men who are
not qualified to serve as a judge
of any court . . . ’.
‘This court, together with the
hungry, mad, ruthless, ungodly,
rower-mad men who would change
this government from a democ
racy to a totalitarian dictatorship,
have attempted to crush the peo
ple of this State through the ex
cuse of upholding and enforcing
an unlawful order that had not be
come final’.”

We are hearing from the med
ical doctors:
“A little more than a yeai after
hanging out his shingle here, Dr.
J. was grossing $28,000 a year as
a general practitioner. But he
had worked himself deeply into
debt and was delinquent in bis
income tax. He had to make more
money.
Dr. J. turned to Medical Admin-
istrative services, a Los Angeles
concern specializing in the manag
ement of physicians’ and dentists’
business and personal affairs. He
follcw’ed the firm’s detailed plan
for increasing his income and re
ducing his expenses. Now, 18
months later. Dr. J’s receipts are
running at the rate of $36,000 a
year, and he has paid off $6,000
in debts.
Medical Administrative Services
is one of a rising number of ‘med
ical management’ firms which
specialize in serving s a combin
ation accountant, efficiency ex
pert, bill collector, business con
sultant and personal adviser for
doctors and dentists. The relative
ly new field already has a trade
association, the Society of Prof-
fesional Business Consultants with
headquarters in Chicago. Founded
in 1956 with nine member firms,
the society now consists of twenty
one organizations. The members
vary widely in size* Black and
Skaggs Associates, Inc., Battle
Creek, Michigan, serves some 4,1
000 doctors and 1000 dentists thru
franchises in nearly a score of
cities. Medical Administrative
Services here has only about 100
clients.
Medical management firms w’oo
clients with the promise of reliev
ing them of worries about the
financial details of their practices
—fax returns, monthly income
statements, delinquent bills and
the like—so they can concentrate
on treating patients. But the
firms often are called in initially
when a physician or dentist finds
himself in financial difficulties, as
w y as the case of Dr. J.
Robert E. Campbell, vice-pres
ident of Medical Administrative
Services, told Dr. J. he needed to
‘get out in the public eye and meet
more people’ to enlarge his prac
tice. The doctor promptly joined
a civic club, and his wife became
an active member of the League
of Women Voters. Soon more pa
tients began showing up in the
doctor’s office.
The management firm loked at
Dr. Js schedule of fees and found
some were lower than those charg
ed by other physicians in the
same area of the city; the doctor
raised these fees. The management
service also began sending out
frequent letters dunning delin
quent patients; the collection rate
on Dr. Js bills subsequently rose
to 90 per cent from 80 per cent.
Turning to Dr. J’s personal fin
ances, Mr. Campbell sternly told
the doctor his expenditures were
exxcessive. ‘He had bought a big
house, made investments that
would burden him for years to
come and was spending too much
on day-to-day extravagances and
trips to Las Vegas,’ said Mr.
Campbell.

A Busy Month
Recent Movings
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Chandler are
now residing at 1107 Hillcrest
Road.
Mr. and Mrs. James M. Cooper
have moved to Apt. 2, 1934 John
stone street.
agement Corp. has even .taken a
hand in decorating a doctor’s of
fice. It suggested to one physician
that the funeral dark purple walls
of his reception room might be
one of the reasons his patients
were drifting away. The doctor
had the room decorated in a
cheerier color, and his practice
picked up.
Although medical managers
claim they usually can increase a
doctor’s rate of collections from
patients, they say they don’t fol
low the practices of bill collection
agencies. Threats of legal action
are. avoided. When Medical Admin
istrative Services in Los Angeles
tackles a delinquent patient, it
sends out statements stamped:
‘Audited: E. H. Wallace’. Mr. Wal
lace, the firm’s president, says
this tactic provides a “third party
touch, so the patient doesn’t get
mad at the doctor,’ but implies
the doctor is anxious for his mon
ey .Only after the bill is delinquent
for a year does Mr. Wallace ad
vice a client to turn it over to a
collection agency”. I’m sorry I
told the Doctors all that.
Ben F. Dawkins, Magistrate for
Newberry has turned over to the
County Treasurer $1643.28, the
amount collected from fines in 107
cases to come before him during
the month of November. Offenses
are as follows:
