HARPER APRIL FOOL P erhaps to the average man men tion of the fourth month of the year always brings to mind the words April Fool. And the words may bring to mind the times one was induced to believe some pre posterous thing and then asked, ‘‘Do you know that, this is the first day of April?" • On my calendar the first day of April is marked as All Fool’s Day, which must be the proper desig nation of the day I have known as April Fool’s Day. And this may suggest that persons who are too credulous are devoid of wisdom. I wish I could tell you of the origin of the day when too credu lous individuals are assured of their lack of gray matter, but I cannot. So I shall not try to set a research that would take your time and mine. But I do know that King Solomon wrote of a cer tain type of young man who was void of understanding, and about three thousand years ago the Psalmist wrote “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.’’ And it was the philosophers on Mars Hill in Athens whom Paul found were concerned to learn and tell some new thing had erected an altar to the Unknown God. So we conclude that both the man who has said in his heart, “There is no God” and they who erect an altar to an unknown God, must have qualified to be included in an ancient All Fools’ Day.

SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Bridling Judicial Arrogance TODAY MANY Americans are concerned about the U. S. Su preme Court and what can be done to curb the court from re writing State and Federal laws through the unauthorized proc ess of judicial legislation. Senti ment to tie the court down “to the chains of the Constitution” has been intensified considerably by the increasing number of the court’s revolutionary decisions. IN ITS RECENTLY concluded session, the court has given the green light to obscenity, further shackled law enforcement of ficers, ordered the reorganiza tion of State Legislatures, in effect made State trespass laws invalid, ordered a State to op erate a school system, and has made a shambles of our internal security laws. THE WARREN COURT has thrown to the winds the princi ple of judicial restraint in a con tinual show of judicial arrogance and lack of regard for principles of. constitutional law. The court has arrogated unto itself powers which have been vested in the other branches of the National Government or the State Gov ernments. PENDING IN THE Senate Judiciary Committee without any action are two proposed amendments to the U. S. Con stitution which I introduced on February 14, 1963. They are de signed to make it easier for the people to put a checkrein on the judicial arrogance of the U. S. Supreme Court. ONE PROPOSAL, S. J. Res. 42, would establish a Court of the Union. This court would con sist of the Chief Justices of each State with authority to deter mine whether the power or ju risdiction sought to be exercised by the National Government in a particular case is a power granted to it under the Consti tution. The Court of the Union could be changed only by amend ing the U. S. Constitution. To get an issue before the Court of the Union, however, would re quire an application by the Leg islatures of five States, “no two of which shall share any com mon boundary.” THE OTHER PROPOSAL. S. J. Res. 43, would give to % of the State Legislatures ap proving an identical resolution the power to propose amend ments to the Constitution for the purpose of ratification by Vi of the States. Presently, consti tutional amendments can be sub mitted for ratification only by the Congress or by a constitu tional convention called by the Congress on application of the State Legislatures. ALSO PENDING in the Judi ciary Committee are 2 bills, S. 3 and S. 2919, which could impose restraint on the court by only a majority vote of Congress. S. 3, which I am again co-sponsoring with Senator John McClellan and others, would establish rules of interpretation governing ques tions of the effect of Acts of Congress on State laws. S. 2919, which I introduced on June 16, would remove cases concerning legislative reapportionmenfc from the assumed jurisdiction of the U. S. Supreme Court and other federal courts. THE ARROGANCE of the court has been officially noted by the Conference of State Chief Justices even as far back as 1958 with the accusation that the Supreme Court has been guilty of foregoing “judicial re straint” and assuming “legisla tive powers.” DESPITE THIS criticism and more, it is apparent that the Congress will give only little or no consideration to imposing on the court the necessary judicial restraint. Therefore, the ques tion of mustering a % vote of both houses of the Congress, or even a majority vote, seems vir tually out of the question unless the membership and philosophi cal orientation of the Congress is altered considerably. THE STATE LEGISLA TURES have a responsibility and opportunity to act under Article V of the U. S. Constitu tion to petition the Congress for a constitutional convention to consider specific proposals simi lar to S. J. Res. 42 and S. J. Res. 43. Both of these proposals already have the support of units of the Council of State Governments. Also, former Pres ident Eisenhower has suggested that the State Legislatures ex ercise their right to propose con stitutional amendments which would decentralize the power concentration in Washington. IF STATES’ RIGHTS means anything to State Governments, then now is the time for them to act, before the States are finally transformed into terri tories and their power to act is completely transferred to Wash ington. Sincerely, itsZervr^ ^S^juLruyyyJonrijJi T he last three Sundays we have noticed the events of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Altogether, they bring to our minds and hearts the trans forming truths of the gospel and we can imagine the angels leaning over the parapets of the city of l God to learn what will be the » response of a world of sin and i need, to the records of the Cross and the Empty Tomb. And the , apostle, joining with the angels in Watching, writes, “If ye be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above.” It is only natural that this chal lenge of the resurrection should be brought to all those who look into the wondrous vacancy of the empty tomb and through faith claim eternal life for themselves through the risen Lord. The Chinese have a proverb—“Pay the price and take it” We shall find this proverb to be true whether we buy a yard of cloth in a house of merchandise or seek to attain unto 4 rich experience of the heart and a high character in the sight of God. So let us, through -the risen Lord and our faith in him walk in the light of eternity that beams from the empty tomb through all the ages to the present, revealing true life and its meaning and pur poses and, giving courage to over come all evil and take our place among those to whom the Lord shall say “Well done.” I RECENT MARRIAGES Thomas Earl Yon of Newberry and Barbara Ann Miller of West Columbia were married June 23 at Newberry by Rev.

A tribute to Chap pell’s Grand Old Man (By Miss Lillie Mae Workman) On May 8, 1964, Reverend George R. Pettigrew, pastor emeritus of the Chappells Baptist church, pass ed to his reward. When the poet said— “Death robs the living, not the dead, They sweetly sleep whose tasks are done But we are weaker than before Who still must live and labor on, For when comes grief and care to us And our heavy burdens bring us woe We miss the smiling helpful friend On whom we leaned short time ago,”— he truly described the feelings of our church and community. A faithful pastor, loving friend, patriotic citizen, a Christian gen tleman who lived his religion wit nessing by precept and example as well as with words—this was Mr. Pettigrew. A man of versatile tal ents—lawyer, speaker, author— but his greatest work was that of pastor. As minister and friend he knew neither denomination, race color or creed, but ministered to the needs of all the. neighborhood. He truly knew as a minister what it was to go down “into the deep” with his Master. As long as his health permitted no night was too dark nor day too stormy to keep him away when a neighbor was in need of any service he might render. He was ever ready to lend the helping hand to any one in need. His life was truly an influence for good to all who knew him. Reverend Pettigrew was born in Darlington (now Florence) county September 28, 1876, the son ox Joseph Edward, Sr. and Fannie Tillman Pettigrew. His elemen tary education in the Florence schools was interrupted by a serious illness, causing him to be a shut-in for several years, and leaving him a cripple for life. A handicap that would have caused many to give up was courageously conquered by Mr. Pettigrew. He became a great reader, took home study courses, and in time com pleted his high school education. In 1910 he received ths L.L.B. de gree from the University of S. C.. He was one of the two double star men in his class and was orator at the Commencement. Mr. Pettigrew practiced law for four years in Dillon. He often said that the greatest suit he ever won as a lawyer was when he won Miss Pauline Fore of Dillon to be his bride. At the early age of 12 he ac cepted Christ as his Saviour and was baptized at Ebenezer church in the Florence Association, As a young man he was active in church werk and had the unique honor of serving as Clerk of the Flor ence Association while his father was moderator. While practicing law in Dillon he was active in the v/ork of the church, being ordained Deacon of the Dillon First Bap tist church where he taught the men’s Bible class for nearly four years, occasionally “filling” pul pits. During this time Mr. Pettigrew yielded to the call of the Gospel ministry and in 1914 entered the Baptist Seminary at Louisville, taking the theology degree in 1916. In August 1916 he was ordained then to the ministry at Chappells Baptist church (then called Salu da Baptist church) and with the exception of two years served lovingly and efficiently until his retirement on January 1, 1949. In addition to the Chappells Baptist church, Mr. Pettigrew also served Cross Roads, Chestnut Hill, Ninety Six First, Mountain Creek and Damascus churches, but the longest service of all was at Chappells—over 30 years. A man of versatile talents, he used those talents in church and community activities. 'Being a great reader, having a keen intel lect and ready wit, added to his ability not only to speak but to write. He was a contributor of both prose and poetry to the “Western Recorder” and “Baptist Courier.” He created “Abe Cornstalk” with his negro dialect sketches. He was the author of a humorous play “Village Belles and Wedding Bells.” Two books were written by him, “The Witness of His Enemies” and “Annals of Ebenezer 1778- 1950” (a record of achievement of Ebenezer church.) Mr. Pettigrew’s life was one of loving and patient service to his Lord and Master, his family, his friends, and to all to whom he could render a service. His mem ory is precious to those who loved him and though we miss him we know he would not have us grieve. Rather, if he could speak to us I feel he would say, “As you love me, let there be no mourning, No tears, no hopeless sighs, Not even sadness. Indeed I Would not have you sad. For myself I shall be full glad Think not of me as dead— But. rather happy—thrice happy As he whose course is sped.” He has gone home to his Father —God. PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL Rev. Charles A.

Y. •••••••••• Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM With the 1964 Presidential cam paign in full pre-convention swing, we are witnessing for the first time in a generation, a basic dif ference in the political philosophy of Conservatism versus Liberal ism. In previous Presidential election campaigns since the 1920’s, little basic difference could be detected between the candidates of the two major parties. Each tried to outdo the other in promising more and better give-away programs, both at home and abroad. Voters who will cast their first vote for a President in the 1964 elections are asking VWhat is a Conservative ? ” and “What is the difference between a true Con servative and a true Liberal?” During the forthcoming campaign, these questions will receive some clear-cut answers. Conservatives are for the con servation of the irreplaceable spiritual, material and Constitu tional resources of the U. S. They believe that the first thing we must do to insure the ultimate freedom and happiness of all man kind is to preserve the strength, freedom, solvency and national in dependence of the United States. Conservatives are sure that the bankruptcy, subversion or com plete Constitutional perversion of this country will be followed im mediately by the Communist con quest of the entire world with the simultaneous Communist enslave ment of everybody everywhere. Conservatives are likewise sure that the Communists agree with them in this respect 100 per cent. This being so, Conservatives be lieve that the basic test for every Federal activity should be: ' Can we afford it and is it Constitu tional ? Conservatives believe that the American people are preponder antly on their side, and that there is an expanding popular protest against ever-increasing Federal Socialist subsidies which has been forced to express itself negatively for the simple reason that it could not be expressed positively when the Presidential candidates of both parties vie with each other in their promises to increase the propor tions and enlarge the outlets of the big Federal dispensary in Washington. For all these years, Conserva tives have believed that they are entitled to have a militant, forth right and unapologetic Presiden tial candidate to present the Con servative point of view to the Am erican people in every Presidential election, so as to test the popular ity of Conservative principles. The Presidential office was not created in the Constitution for the convenience of two big political machines whose professional dri vers have found it expedient to run the election campaign as if it were a two-way beauty contest where the all-important thing is to keep your contestant from stubbing his toe on a controversial issue. The United States is the last bastion of freedom on earth. If its people are to vote periodically for a President, they should have the right to tell their candidate whic hway to go on vital contro versial issues that reach to the heart of our survival as a free nation. If the two big political parties ■want to preserve their unconstitu tional monopoly on the political railroad then they had better start to run their Presidential trains in different directions. The popular political division in this country is Liberal Versus Conservative. Let the people have a go at it that way, and may the best side win.
