Fiscal Folly
USUALLY THE House of
Representatives has to save the
country from the fiscal follies
of the Senate. However, as a re
sult of the House vote to reduce
taxes by more than $11 billion
without assurance of any re
duction in government spending
or even holding the line on
spending, it will now be up to
the Senate Finance Committee
to preserve some semblance of
fiscal responsibility. If this leg
islation gets to the Senate floor,
it will pass without even the
•dose- vote registered in the
House in attempting to force a
minimal reduction of a few bil
lion dollars in spending. Yet,
polls indicate, if polls mean any
thing, that the people want a
tax cut to be accompanied by
_a cut in spending. My mail over
whelmingly reflects this senti
ment.
THERE IS LITTLE question
that everyone favors a lessening
•of the federal tax burden. Most
people, however, realize that in
come, can't be cut without re
ducing outgo, unless, of course,
one plane to continue operat
ing on a planned program of
deficit spending. Few people
would be so foolish, but that is
what is in step* for our Federal
Government for the indefinite
future.
THESE PLANNED DEFI
CITS are being sold to the Con
gress on the fallacious economic
theory that the more we spend
and owe the better off we will
be. We have been forced to ex
periment with this theory on
many occasions in recent years
because we haven't balanced the
books but 6 times in the past
34 years. In fact, we have aver
aged deficits of $6 billion since
1957 and the problem of unem
ployment is still with us. These
28 deficits have provided, in the
place of balanced budgets, a
whopping national debt of $315.6
billion. When added together
with all other Federal Govern
ment obligations and future
commitments, we are already
responsible for $1% trillion, ac
cording to Senator Harry Byrd,
the Senate's watchdog of the
Treasury.
IN A RECENT address. Sen
ator Byrd exploded the popular
myth that all this deficit spend
ing has been caused by defense
needs. He said: **10 the 10 years
since the end of the Korean
War, we have had seven deficits;
the federal debt has gone up
nearly $40 billion, and the an
nual cost of the Federal Gov
ernment has been increased by
approximately $20 billion, or
more than 25 percent. Of the
$20 billion increase, $17 billion
has been for strictly domestic-
civilian programs, projects and
purposes, and interest. This $17
billion increase excludes the cost
of military functions, foreign
aid, and trust fund programs
such as those for social security,
highways and Federal National
Mortgage Association.**
IN VOTING this fiscal folly
on the people, the House has
given a thumping endorsement
to a domestic program of so
cialism and eventual economic
bankruptcy. This was a political
decision dictated in large part
by power and patronage pres
sures from the Executive
Branch, where the power of
government seems to rest, be
cause of both usurpation of
power by the Executive Branch
and abdication of power by the
Legislative Branch.
THE NET RESULT of this
irresponsible action, if finally
approved, will be further infla
tion and weakening of confi
dence in the American dollar.
Similar actions have already
caused the U. S. gold reserve
supply to dwindle to $15.6 bil
lion, only $3.4 billion above the
legal reserve figure of $12.2 bil
lion. Unwise economic policies
have also reduced the value of
the dollar to 45.4 cents since
1939.
IF THIS TAX CUT is finally
voted, the refunds each taxpay
er gets—that is, those who get
a cut—will, in effect, come from
borrowed money because this
cut is to be made in the face of
a $9 billion deficit for the cur
rent fiscal year. And, next year,
spending will go up, not down,
according to the Secretary of
the Treasury.
IF OUR GOVERNMENT con
tinues in the direction it is
headed, we had all better enjoy
our freedoms of today and all
the extra spending possible, be
cause there may not be much of
either left- over for the future,
for us or our children.
Sincerely,
Right down the home
maker’s alley is a new do-
it-yourself kit for modern
izing the bath tub area.
Designed to meet the grow
ing demand among home-
owners and renters alike
for an inexpensive way to
add durable, lasting beau
ty to wall areas above re
cessed bath tubs, the kit
-features Panelboard wall
panels and accessories spe
cially engineered for fast,
easy installation even by
inexperienced home handy men.
Each “kit” contains three deco
rative wall panels of easy-to-dean
melamine-coated Panelboard in
any of 10 distinctive style and col
or combinations—a 48* x 60* pan
el for the rear wall and two 48* x
30* panels for the side walls—plus
rustproof corner end edge mould
ing, adhesive, caulking material
and complete step-by-step instruc

WILSON
“If I had not come and spoken
unto them, they had not had sin;
but now they have no cloak for
their sin.” John 15:22.
There is no such thing as a just
excuse for not living right, and
yet man is quick to excuse him
self for his utter neglect of God
and the church. Until Jesus came
men had never fully come to un
derstand God, but once Jesus had
walked the face of this earth;
once he had spoken to men; and
once they had been convinced of
sin in their lives, they no longer
had an excuse. When Jesus came
He did two things for us. First,
he exposed sin. He told us of the
things that grieve the heart of
God and led us to see the things
we need to do because of God’s
love for us. The second thing He
did was provide a remedy for sin.
He opened a way of forgiveness
and in doing so he wiped away all
excuses. In spite of Jesus, however
men still persist in making ex
cuses for not obeying the laws of
God-
Peope today use their shift of
work as an excuse to keep them
away from the house of the Lord.
Some find fault with members of
the church who are faithful and
loyal in their attendance. Others
excuse themselves by saying that
Sunday is the only day for relax
ation they have, but never do they
use these exceuses to keep them
away from the things they wish
to attend. At a football game last
Friday evening a woman was
heard to say that she could not
attend the revival that was going
on in her church bcause she had
been ill all week with pneumonia,
however, her illness was overcome
in time for the kick-off. The Bible
tells us that God has made his
way clear to those and “they are
without excuse.” (Romans 1:20).
The man who goes through
life making excuses for not living
the life outlined by God will
stand before him on the day of
judgement and will cry out “Lord,
Lord!”, only to hear him ’ say,
“Depart from me you who work
iniquity.” There are few people
today who would confess that they
do not believe in God in some fash
ion, but there are many who can
completely disregard him in their
daily lives and make excuse for
doing so. Our text says “they
have no means by which to hide
their sin.”

CALVIN CROZIER . . . NEWBERRY COUNTY BOARD
(Continued from page one) OF COMMISSIONERS
ordered him out. He (the Negro) 26-2tc.
said I had no right to interfere.”
In the affray that followed, the
Negro was cut slightly. The
captain placed Crozier under ar
rest and told the troops not to
hurt him.
In the meantime, several sold
iers has sighted Jacob S. Bowers,
who was in charge of repairs for
the G&C Railroad. They grabbed
him, yelled that he was the man
who had cut the Negro soldier,
and they were about to kill Bow
ers. Calvin Crozier came forward*
and admitted that he had out the
soldier, and turned over his Knife
to the troops, who wanted to kill
him outright. The sergeant pre
vented it but the troops wanted
blood—and vowed that if Calvin
Crozier wasn't killed, they would
put a bullet through the sergeant.
Crozier's hands were tied and he
was taken to the campsight of the
33rd troops. |
Solomon P. Kinard lived about
200 yards from the campsight. He
testified at the inquest that just
before day he was aroused by
threee Negro soldiers wanting a
mattock and shovel. “They said
they wanted to bury a rebel who
had cut the throat of one of their
comrades while he was asleep.”
Mr. Kinard heard gunfire—he
went out but was told by a Negro
guard that the troops were ex
cited, he'd better not go closer.
He heard another shot and when
he was able to get close enough
to see, “they were burying the
body. Some ten of them jumped on
the grave and stamped the body
. . . one, while stamping the body
said ‘now d you, lie there, I
wish every d rebel was in
your fix*'
“One of the Negroes who was
stamping and dancing over the
grave threatened that before ten
o'clock today the town of New
berry should be in ashes if the
Regiment stayed here.”
The testimony of Willis B. Phil
lips, who lived about 130 yards
from the site, was about the same
as that of Mr. Kinard. He said
that “after breakfast, I assisted
John W. Miller and others in tak
ing up the body to wash and pre
pare it for burial.
Dr. G. W. Garmany testified
there were six wounds in Crozier's
body, five gunshot from minnie
balls in the chest and one pistol
shot in the left temple which
“must have been fired close to his
face as it was powder burnt.”
And so a young man, after liv
ing through the inferno of war
for four years, believing finally
he would go home for a period of
peace, had his life erased for
doing a deed of kindness during
the tragic era which gripped the
South.
There were many familiar fam
ily names among those who served
in that inquest jury 98 years ago.
Conducting the inquest was Silas
Johnstone, Intendant of the Town
of Newberry, acting coroner. Jur
ors were Burr J. Ramage, Jno.
O. Peoples, M. W. Miller, Peter
Rodelsperger, Thomas P. Slider,
John Martin, Dr. W. A. Williams,
Edward Burley, Wm. C. Johnson,
N. B. Knox, H. H. Kinard, B. S.
Whaley, S. Montgomery^ and Jno.
W. Grierson.
(To be concluded in next week’s
issue.)
