Benjamin West Crouch, 96, died in Saluda Monday morning. Col. Crouch, who was known to many Newberrians, earned the title through his efforts to bring about the birth of the county at the Constitutional Convention of 1895. He was believed the last survivor of that historic conclave. He achieved distinction in gov ernment, law, banking and church work, and had taken an active role in politics of his county. He was a lawyer until a few years ago and a successful businessman. The colonel's favorite hobby was the history of Saluda county and genealogies of county famil ies. He was an acknowledged au thority on family history and the old Ninety Six district, which is now Edgefield, Newberry and Sa luda counties. Col. Crouch was active in the fight against the merger of the Northern and Southern divisions of the Methodist church. Failing is his efforts to prevent the mer ger he withdrew from the faith of his fathers and joined the Pres byterian faith, building, almost out of his own resources a church of that faith in Saluda on land near his residence. A Surviving are three daughters, ^• Udiss Perrin Crouch and Miss Ma- bel Crouch of Saluda and Mrs. L. A. Wallace of Sumter; two sons, J. Carlisle Crouch of Philadelphia, Pa., and B. W. Crouch, Jr., of Mountville. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at Saluda Presbyter ian church. Burial was in Travis Park with Masonic rites. Dorn Announces His Candidacy Hon. W. J. B. Dorn has an nounced his candidacy for re-elect ion to Congress with the following statement: “Last year pressure groups with headquarters in New York and Washington, openly and publicly placed me on a purge list to be eliminated from Congress in the 1964 South Carolina primary. At least three separate accounts of these plans were published in the New York Times and appeared in publications throughout the Unit ed States. I accepted the challenge then and, in officially becoming a candidate, I do so today. “Outside pressure groups have never succeeded in electing a can didate in the State of South Car olina. The people of South Car olina believe in voting, not being voted. The very thought of in timidation and harassment from the outsiders is repulsive to a South Carolinian. “I have the utmost faith and confidence in the people of the Third district and all of South Carolina. Since this purge list be came known I, have never before in my political career received more encouragement from the people of South Carolina and thru- out the South.” In this new and excitingly exclusive series, Kreisler's Paris* lenne heralds a return to continental elegance.

Lower Rates Reduced electric rates that will save Duke Power Co. customers more than $2 million a year be ginning May 1 were announced on Monday by the company. The rate reduction reflects anticipated sav ings as a result of the recent fed eral income tax cut. This will be the third rate re duction in less than two years for Duke Power. Based on Duke’s estimated sales of electricity during the 12 months beginning May 1, the reduced rates will save residential custom ers nearly $1.3 million a year. Changes in other rate schedules, including small commercial and industrial, will save those custo mers $795,000 a year. A Duke spokesman cautioned that people should not expect big drops in their monthly bills after May 1. In the first place, a large number of people will be sharing the rate reduction. “Another con sideration is that people generally continue using more electricity,” he said. “Even though the rate will be lower, the monthly bill may be higher due to people using more electricity.
