THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN South Carolina is no longer “in the bag,” as we used to say; today the National Political Parties will have to reckon with South Carolina as a State of independent thinkers not tied to the apron strings of anybody or any Party. Observe how our people acted: the State voted a hand some majority (or plurality) for Goldwater, a Republican, but our people acted selectively: in many counties the vote for Goldwater was side by side with the vote for some Dem- ocratis. It stands out that we voted for (or against) individ uals rather than for or against Parties. Consider the cases of Charleston and Richland, for ex ample. Both counties supported Goldwater handsomely but remembered substantially candidates on the Democratic ticket. As I see it, our State supported Goldwater as a man and Goldwater was very ably and successfully supported by Sen. Strom Thurmond. No one can challenge the statement that Senator Thurmond had a large and strong participation in the victory of Senator Goldwater in South Carolina. Mr. Thurmond commands strong support in our State as a man and as Democrat or Republican he is outstanding in South Carolina. We are much indebted to Governor Byrnes and Representative Watson, also. Our Representatives in Congress stand out as men, indi vidually worthy of support, regardless of party. It is a sound condition, our support of men on their merits rather than because of Party labels. This campaign discredited some bug-a-boos, as, for ex ample, the strength and effectiveness of the Colored vote. In Columbia there was a show of effective action, but Rich land County could ignore it. Charleston, likewise, overcame all the political bug-a-boos and proved ellective followers of Goldwater, along with Mendel Rivers, our very able Repre sentative in Congress. By the same token, John McMillan, Albert Watson, Wm J. Bryan Dorn enjoyed enthusiastic support for re-election. Although I join all those who give large credit to Sen. Thurmondn for the vote of our State I must say that I have never known such enthusiasm for a national figure as I found for Goldwater in all parts of our State.

Erskine, Presbyterian and Wofford will offer the opposition for the Indians over the Thanks giving holidays. “We will be faster, have more height, better rebounding, and better overall shooting than we had last year,” Coach Nield Gor don, who is starting his second year as basketball coach at New r -1 berry, said. Despite the loss of five seniors through graduation, including all- state forward Phil Musgrave, Coach Gordon feels confident that this year’s tribe will do better than the dismal 7-17 record post ed last year. “Last year we had only one outstanding shooter, Musgrave,” Coach Gordon said. “As a result, we were forced to play a particularly slow, ball-con trol offense. This year we plan to do a lot of running.” DG deadline is December 5 WASHINGTON, D.

The song w^as “God Bless America” which everyone sang, led by Mrs. Hart Jordan and accompanied by Mrs. P. N. Abrams. The prayer was given by Rev. George W. Couch Jr. The speech was presented by Mrs. O. T. Smith of West Colum bia, President of the Palmetto Outdoor Historical Drama Asso ciation. She was introduced by Dr. Ralph Baker, program chairman. Mrs. Smith gave a synopsis of the part of the Revolutionary War which was fought in South Caro lina. She said that although one hundred and thirty-seven battles were fought in South Carolina by South Carolinians, very few peo ple knew this fact because the state has not publicized its histori cal background enough. Mrs. Smith related how the idea of an out door drama depicting South Caro lina’s vital role in the Revolution ary War led to the organization of the Palmetto Outdoor Historical Drama Association. She announc ed that the script of the play has been completed by Dr. Kermit Hunter and that plans are to start performances in June, 1965. The drama will bea two hour presen tation. Programs will feature list ings of historical sites in every county in the state. Curtain teas ers in various forms such as skits will be presented before perform ances on different nights by a county to publicize its historical points of interest and tourist at tractions. Mrs. Smith emphasized the fact that South Carolina re ceives very little of the tourist dollar and that this outdoor dra ma will increase tourist trade tre mendously. She also recommended tlu every South Carolinian, es- p' ially the school children, see J .e play. This drama will be a liv ing memorial to those who fought so bravely for the freedom we en joy today, she said. Mrs. Smith appealed to the peo ple of Newberry to contribute to this worthwhile cause. Although $53,000 has been raised, $97,000 more must be collected before January first in order to qualify for the $50,000 which the state legislature has voted for the pro ject. Mrs. Warren Cousins, New berry County Chairman and Miss Margaret Pay singer, Newberry City Chairman, were present as representatives of the Palmetto Outdoor Historical Drama in New berry. The action was the film “The American Revolution: Victory Is Won” which was introduced by Mrs. Smith. This film has been shown to the students at Newberry High, Speers Street, Junior High, and Pomaria schools through the courtesy of the drama association. It is an excellent commentary and action motion picture about the Revolution. Hart Jordan, president, presided during the business session. The P.T.A. voted to support the effort to secure the current post office building for a city library. It was voted to contribute $600 of the proceeds from the Harvest Carni val to the Boundary Street School Library Fund.
