THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
An imperative need of the day
is an Act of Congress defining the
jurisdiction of the United States
Supreme Court. When such a bill
may be considered a companion
bill might well be adopted regu
lating the Federal Commissions.
I marvel at the inaction of the
Congress. True enough the Con
gress itself and the President
seem to have decided on acting as
though there were no restrictions
or limitations to their preroga
tives and no reserved powers of
the States.
The latest case of judicial ar
rogance is the order of the Court
that Prince Edward county, of
Virginia shall re-open and operate
public schools and on a basis of
integration.
I quote a few words of the
Governor of Virginia:
“Gov. Albertis S. Harrison, a
‘country lawyer’ and former Vir
ginia attorney general, Wednesday
lashed out at the U. S. Supreme
Court’s recent decision on Prince
Edward county’s schools, but de
clined to predict what the future
may hold for the racially troubled
region.
On Monday, the high court cul
minated a 13-year old legal battle
over school segregation in Prince
Edward and ordered the county
to reopen its public schools, pos
sibly by September. They were
closed in 1959 to avoid desegrega
tion.
Harrison told his weekly news
conference that he was ‘disap
pointed’ with the opinion. Tt is
erroneous and far-reaching,’ he
said. ‘This could reach alarming
proportions.’
Asked if he anticipated that
public schools would be opened in
September, Harrison said:
I would not anticipate anything
... I only hope that come Sep
tember, 1964, the children of that
county have education available
to them.’
‘Will the county comply?’ a
newsman asked. ‘I have no infor
mation on that,’ he answered. ‘We
are a law abiding people.’
The governor declined to hint
at what course the state would
take at the Federal District
Court level where, the directing
order is to be drawn. He said he
had discused the matter with the
State Attorney General but had
not spoken with officials of the
county.
Harrison said he thought it
would be ‘very ill-advised to com
ment on the State’s proposed ac
tion or in speculation on what the
federal court would do.
The governor said it was ‘the
first time that a judicial body has
ordered a legislative body: ‘You
shall impose certain taxes on your
people.”
And this, he said, ‘raises more
questions than it answers.’
There was no reason, no prece
dent,’ Harison said. ‘They just
issued a blank statement.’
He said however, he did not
anticipate that a special session
of the General Assembly would be
called ‘at any time’.”
That a court should presume to
order a Legislature to .act: to
impose taxes, etc., is a presump
tion almost beyond belief. Read
what the Constitution says.
Congress should forthwith de
fine the scope of the Supreme
Court jurisdiction in clear langu
age, almost language so clear that
no twisting can turn it from the
true course. The Congress should
not delay to do this. All States
have a vital interest, whether Re
publican or Democrat; whether
riding on the Johnson coattail or
cooperating with any other can
didate or political party. All the
Congressmen, Senators, and Rep
resentatives, represent States and
they should resist every effort to
by-pass the States or override
their sovereignty.
I must have wasted a lot of
time and money studying the
Constitution of the United States.
Reading the daily papers I think
some Congressmen and quite a
number of Judges proceed at ran
dom, acting on their judgment,
and unembarassed by provisions
of the Constitution. That condi
tion also applies to the various
Commissions and to the President.
We might just as well adopt an
amendment declaring' that “No
thing in this Constitution shall be
interpreted to limit the three
departments of Government, any
section or provision; but the wis
dom of all officials shall be su
preme and final authority in any
and all cases, undeterred by any
Constitutional inhibition whatso
ever.
My little question of last week
arises again: Why are we losing
men and millions fighting in Asia ?
Why do we maintain hundreds of
thousands of men abroad in var
ious places? Are we combatting
Communism ? Surely not, for it
would be insane folly to wage war
on Communism in relatively un
important places while cheek-by-
powl with Russia, the home of
Communism ?
In fact we are dodging the
main body of the enemy while
■scouting all over the world for
small detachments of Communism.
Where is our Commonsense? Or
have we fallen under the spell of
foolish men and vain imagining?’
The enemy is Russia; the main
force, inspiration and diabolic
program is in Russia. If we must
wage war on Communism why
not start at the source ?
I have become accustomed to
the practice of claiming or asking
Congressional support for matters
clearly beyond the scope of the
function of Congress, just as tho
Congress had created this great
Union. But I did not expect to
read that the Southern B aptist
Convention had authorized local
Baptist churches to segregate or
integrate at will. My! my! That
is enough to make some stout and
sturdy old Baptists protest from
the heavens.
The fundamental principle of
the Baptists is local self-govern
ment and complete authority with
in each church. The Baptists hold
as a cardinal principle that each
church, large or small, is an ab
solute and independent and sov
ereign organization, owing no
thing to any Convention.
That being a cardinal, founda
tional principle of Baptists you
may wonder at a headline in one
of our South Carolina papers say
ing that the Southern Baptist
Convention would leave the ques
tion of integration to each church.
Indeed! And when did the South
ern Baptist Convention become
authorized or empowered to
“leave things to local churches?”
The Conventions of Baptists are
only associations of fellowship,
but by no means organizations of
authority. The smallest, poorest
Baptist church is a sovereign or
ganization of itself, deriving its
power and authority from com
munion with the Most High and
not from Conventions.
Baptists must be alert; already
the Federal Government thinks
it created the thirteen States and
the Constitution!!
The Constitution says— with
reference to schools^—States, etc.
“The judicial power shall extend
to all cases in law and equity ar-
rising under this Constitution, the
laws of the United States.”
In all cases affecting Ambassa
dors, other public ministers and
Consuls the Supreme Court shall
have original jurisdiction. In all
other cases etc the Supreme court
shall have apellate jurisdiction etc
under such regulations as the
Congress shall make.
The Constitution even enters in
to particulars.
The Supreme Court: “To con
troversies between states; between
a State and citizens of another
state etc.”
“In all cases (before mentioned)
the Supreme Court shall have
apellate jurisdiction ... as the
Congress shall make.”
Even a mere modicum of know
ledge should serve to prove that
the order to open schools etc., is
a gross violation of the Sovereign
power of the States and should be
regarded as such.
My old friend and brother of the
quill, Tom O’Connor of Allendale
and Hampton, has something to
say about the program or plan to
abolish poverty. I think I should
let Tom speak for himself, so
here goes:
“Nothing fascinates me quite
so much as President Johnson’s
war on poverty. As I have ob
served before it is a war in
which I was drafted many years
ago and in which I have a pro
found schooling. I wasn’t, it is
true, born in a three - room
shack, but I was born in a 3-
room flat and while there were
no Indians at the door there
were other things like barrooms
and business failures which gave
the settler a rough time. I think
I can match anyone on the pov
erty bit. I started with nothing
and have only slightly overcome
that handicap. Any day now'the
bottom can drop out and where
is President Johnson?
I think I should be at least a
sergeant in the President’s war.
A drill sergeant at that, because
I have had more experience with
make-do and do-without than
most men encounter. For a
long time I even did without
eating, except for a bowl of
cereal and a stale roll for break
fast, an apple for lunch and a
60 cent table d’hote for supper.
I have a lean and hungry stom
ach.
As in other wars the poverty
army travels on its stomach
which is why presently it is
bogged down and can’t get a-
way. I could certainly give the
president a hatful of ideas a-
bout poverty and ways to com
bat it anytime he wants to send
a vehicle down here to bring
me to Washington for a White
House luncheon.
I even had experience with the
WPA which hired me for a
piddling stipend to teach some
tobacco chewing women how to
make baskets. I’d like to know
whatever became of all those
oak split baskets we made back
in the haycon days of 1935.
And what was President Johnson
doing in 1935? I’ll bet he wasn’t
working for the WPA. No, on
second thought, he’d be smart
to make me a two-star General
in the poverty war.”

MANION :
FORUM ;
What is responsible for the ob
vious decline in public morality,
for the sagging respect for real,
old-fashined human values, for
the rising curve of juvenile crime,
for vandalism in schools, criminal
attacks upon teachers, and the
alarming number of drop-outs in
our schools?
There is a common denomina
tor for all of these things. For
the first time in the history of
this nation, we are witnessing an
an almost deliberate attempt to
debase everything which previous
generations of Americans have
held to be most sacred.
We have told the generation
growing up around us that there
are no positive truths, no abso
lute verities, no lasting values or
standards of any kind. With this
kind of a situation, it would be
a living wonder if the young peo
ple of our country did not react
ir. exactly the way they are re
acting.
Past generations of Americans
did not deliberately set out to
teach patriotism, and yet patriot
ism was a very real and vital thing
to all of our previous generations.
Patriotism stems from an under
standing and appreciation of the
history of our country, of our form
of government. In too many schools
today, history is not taught as
history, civics is not taught as
civics. These subjects are taught
in courses labeled as “social stud
ies” or “social living.”
American history is the most
wonderful, glowing, beautiful
story in the world. It doesn’t have
to be “jazzed up.” All any teacher
has to do is to tell the truth, that
this is the best, the finest and the
freest land that ever has been on
this planet. It is not we who built
walls around ourselves to keep our
people in and shoot them in the
back when they try to escape.
If school children are taught the
facts, organized, disciplined sys
tematic subject matter as it should
be taught, patriotism will flow out
of it as naturally as day follows
night. <
Discipline is an important facet
of education. In former times,
when a child had to be disciplined
at school, his father took him to
the woodshed when he got home
and repeated the punishment. This
had a saluatory effect upon the
child.
With the rise of behaviouristic
psychology some 40 years ago,
parents were told that Junior
must not be spanked for his mis
deeds because it would have an
adverse psychological effect on
the child. Naturally, if parents
could not punish a child, teachers
were not to lay hand on one and
as a result nobody touched the
child, regardless of his behaviour
and the result is the worst be
haved generation in the history of
mankind.

Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, grant that
our hearts may be open to you
and that we shall love you
with all our being; through
Jesus Shrist our Lord. Amen.
ARE YOU
LISTENING?
By EARL WILSON
Walking into a hospital room a
short while ago I saw a man lying
there with all types of medical
paraphernalia arounr him. He
had tubes in his nostrils, needles
in his arms, and a doctor was bent
over looking into his eyes. It was
not difficult to recognize that
here lay a gravely ill man. The
family had already been notified
that, this, their loved one could
not live much longer.
In thinking back about this
scene, lam caused to make a
a comparison between the ill man
and this world in which we live.
Our world today is sick. It is
suffering from over-exposure to
Communism, an overdose of Su
preme courtism, and a definite
lack of Christian conviction flow
ing through its veins. Like the
man suffering with a heart ail
ment brought on by over-exertion,
our world is suffering with a heart
ailment brought on by the ex
emption of God.
A study of the Bible reveals
that na civilization has ever ex
isted that eliminated God from
its being. Why do we feel that
we will be any different? Why
have our officials come to feel
that they can pass legislation that
(will do away with all references
I to God in public life ? Perhaps the
• fault lies with people who call
themselves Christians. To be
truthful, many Christians must
confess that they have not been
faithful to God. Whenever they
have had to make a choice between
going to a church meeting or a
meeting at their club, the club has
won out. If it is a decision between
a revival at the church or a foot
ball game at school, the football
game has had the greatest appeal.
We have become so determined
that our children will be success
ful that we allow them to neglect
their Christian duties in order to
attend some social function. While
we have been neglecting God, the
Communists have been teaching
their youth to tat, sleep, work,
live, and die with Communism in
their hearts, in their minds, and
on their tongues.
Yes, our world is sick and near
death. But the Bible says “If a
man keep my saying he shall never
see death.”

ON DISTINGUISHED
STUDENT LIST
Linda E. Satterwhite, Pamela
Senn and Marcia C. Todd were
Newberry County students named
on the official list of “Distinguish
ed Students” at Winthrop college
for the second semester of the
past school session.
From Russell Mooney, Glendale,
California: I remember when I
was a little tyke living in Port
Huron, Michigan, on the banks of
the blue water St. Clair River, the
border between Ontario, Canada
and my home town. My favorite
pleasure was to visit Lynn’s Ma
rine Reporting Station, in Pine
Grove Park, a short distance
downstream. On a lazy summer
day, huge 600-foot ships would
pass, laden with ore and bound
for Cleveland, Buffalo and other
ports.
Dennis Lynn would peer
through his binoculars as ships
approached, determine the name
of the ship, then leisurely sort
mail and newspapers for the
crew, place it in a bucket and
then start to row toward the
middle of the river. He’d ask me
to go along.
As the ship rolled through the
rapids, Lynn’s boat would come
alongside and he would toss a
rope to a deckhand. Our boat
would be yanked forward and the
exciting exchange of mail began
. . . letters for those back home
and men eager to receive mes
sages, magazines and love letters.
Then, our boat released, Denny
slowly rowed the mile back to
his office, to await another ar
rival. All in a days work for
Denny—but fun and a forgettable
experience for a twelve-year-old.

ITEM: To get best service from
a floor covering, choose the kind
of tile that is best suited for the
area of the home in which it is
to be used; install it according to
the manufacturer’s directions. The
size of the floor area has a definite
bearing on your choice of color
and pattern. Try to visualize the
pattern and color of the entire
floor rather than thinking only in
terms of the sample tile from
which you make your selection.

4-Hers Prepare For Camp!
Newberry County 4-H Club
members left for Camp Long on
Monday, June 22. About 100 boys
and girls will be in for a real ex
perience of “Camp living” this
week.
Camp Long is located near Ai
ken on a beautiful 37 acre lake.
It is one of the camps owned by
4-H club members and operated
by the Clemson College Extension
Service.
Plenty of recreation is available
including swimming and all types
of sports. Instruction in water and
traffic safety is given, along with
special classes in electricity.
Of course, no camp program is
complete without a crafts program.
The 4-Hers enjoy making small
gifts from copper, plastic, leather
and wood.
Vespers programs each evening
give real spiritual growth oppor
tunities for all. In good weather
these programs are held in a
large, stone outdoor chapel or
council ring beside the lake. The
setting has much to do with the
spirit of the program.
Why not visit Camp Long and
see for yourself?
The showers last week certainly
have helped the cotton prospects.
After a long struggle much of the
county’s cotton crop is beginning
to grow. Guess these hot days and
nights are just what it has been
awaiting! Mr. Boll Weevil will be
on his rounds, too. Thrips and
aphids have been working all a-
long. Better refer to Information
Card 97, “Cotton Insect Control
Recommendations for South Car
olina—1964”—copies are still av
ailable from our office.
CHICKENS need plenty of fresh
air! Feed consumption and egg
higher than outside temperature,
goes up. Chickens start panting
and egg production falls when the
temperature reaches 75-80 de
grees. Egg size decreases and the
shell texture is affected. When
chickens are crowded, the tem
perature in the house may be
higher than outSjde temperature.
Houses that are open to the floor
are much cooler than tnose with
only the top half of the front or
side open. Houses with metal
roofs can be kept several degrees
cooler by spraying the tops with
whitewash. Lime and water should
be mixed to a thick consistency
should be used as a thick coat
should be used as a thjck ioat
will flake off. Some poultrymen
observe that about 60 per cent of
this type whitewash stays on the
roof of the buildings from one
year to the next. The older the
roof, the better the whitewash
stays on.
Chiikens cool themselves by
breathing and drinking cool wa
ter. Provide plenty of drinking
space. This is important anytime;
however, it’s more so in summer
months.
READ THAT LABEL! Chemi
cals play an important role in our
gardens and on our farms. Don’t
forget that all of them can be
dangerous unless they are used
according to the directions on the
container!
It’s JUNE DAIRY MONTH!
Don’t forget June is DAIRY
MONTH. It’s time for telling your
city friends about the virtues of
dairy products. Remind them that
ice cold milk is a most refreshing
summer drink. Also that Dairy
products are among the best food
buys.
COW HISTORY
JUNE DAIRY MONTH is a
good time to pay tribute to “cow
history” that was made in New
berry county this year. Vanity
Sultan Queen, a registered Jersey
cow of Dave Waldrop-s did it by
making the highest butterfat rec
ord ever made by a Jersey cow in
this country. Last February, Queen
completed a 365 day milking rec
ord of 19,440 pounds of milk and
1346 pounds of butterfat. A
special salute to Vanity Sultan
Queen during Dairy Month!
