Commun ism and Christianity are opposites, ; ers. are enemies and cannot coexist. One must destroy the other.

The press, networks, and services say the South ha cepted integration. That is gross misconception. I've just returned from the Deep South. Things there are not as reported by “Look,” “Life” and the “Post.” And never have been, of course. The diction ary says that “to accept” means to receive favorably. The South has embraced integration much like East Berlin has embraced Communism: by gunpoint, force, intimidation and bribery. Never in my lifetime—probably never before in history of this nation— has the relationship between Ne gro and white been as strained, as unfriendly, as explosive. Our nation is on the verge of anarchy. We are headed toward revolution. Little Rock. Oxford, Selma, Chicago—we have seen on ly the beginning. There will be much blood in the streets, South and North. As agitator John Lewis said to a group in Selma, “This is a revolution, this is war!” The Selma natives are still talking about how Negro men sat with white women and ran their hands down the women’s dresses and up their legs. The women were not natives, but part of a gang of carpethagging prostitutes, anar chists and degenerates jointly sponsored by Walter Reuther and the National Council of Churches. Throughout the South, Negroes are now being registe"ed under the supervision of Great Society Snoopers sent in to “get out the Negro vote.” A few days ago a “Fed” working deep in Mississi ppi asked a registrar why a cer tain voter’s registration form was disqualified. The registrar ex plained that the registrant was obviously completely illiterate and also, incidentally, white. The fed eral supervisor replied “Oh, if he’s white, it’s all right to disqualify him. Our purpose here is to see that Negroes are not disqualified.” An FBI agent confided to a friend that he hasn’t worked on hut one criminal case in more than a year. He used to investigate criminals. Now he investigates segregationists. A friend reports that Canton and Bogalusa are in fested with Federal Bureau of Integration and Secret Service agents who anonymously infil trate the ranks of the native whites. One enterprising white resident, tired of being photo graphed, quizzed and followed constantly, took to following an FBI agent himself. Finally the agent stopped his car, got out and walked back to the native’s car and demanded “Why are you following me?” “Sir, I did not know it was against the law to do so, and therefore I shall continue. However, I would like to point out to you that I have been fol lowing you since 8:00 a.m., and here it is 2:00 P.M. Don’t you think we should .stop for lunch?” The enraged FBI agent turned on his heel and drove off, and the hungry native follow’ed. There is great consternation among integration society as to what and how to integrate next. There’s the overcome-now set, ex emplified by the Muslims. There’s the moderate clique which advo cates patience until the United Nations can become strong enough Family tickets now on sale The Newberry College Athletic Department has announced that advance sale of Family Plan sea son football tickets will begin on August 1st and will continue thru August 30. The Family Plan was designed for entire families.

Kin- ard, speaker at the Gray re union, stands by the marker erected by descendents at the grave of Frederick Gray, first settler. Parr cows are top producers Nine registered cows owned by W W. Parr, Route 4, Newberry, have been awarded Ton of Gold Certificates by the American Jersey Cattle Club. The Ton of Gold Award is made to Jersey cows that produce at least a ton of butterfat during a four-year period on Herd Improv ement Registry test. During the past four years the production of the nine cows in the Parr herd averaged over 500 pounds butter- fat per cow per year, which ex ceeds the production of the “av erage” dairy cow in the United States. All tests were checked by Clem- son University and were verified by the headquarters office of The Americon Jersey Cattle Club at Columbus, Ohio. The average dairy cow is dis carded before she has completed threee years of production. The Parr Jerseys demonstrate the long productive life which dairy men must strive for in their herds to receive optimum profits. Wins blue ribbon for pie baking Bunny Bedenbaugh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Bedenbaugh, Prosperity, received a blue rib bon in the County 4-H Peach Pie demonstration. On Tuesday, July 27th she represnted Newberry County in the' State 4-H Peach Pie Demonstration Activity in Columbia. Bunny was one of the six girls to receive a blue ribbon in the state contest. The State winner of the activity will be chosen from this blue award group. Kendall consumes 64,801 bales lint For the first six months of 19(15, the Textile Division of Kendall consumed a record volume of raw cotton amounting to 64,801 bales. This is the largest volume ever used by the Division in a six- month period. All of this cotton was grown in the United States. Since the enactment of cotton legislation in April of 1964, cot ton has been competitively priced to the domestic textile industry and has brought about a substan tial increase in the consumption of cotton in the United States. The present one-price cotton pro gram permits mills to buy cotton at world prices for the first time in eight years. This eliminates the inequity that has penalized Am erican textile companies. The pro gram has helped the textile indus try in providing better jobs at higher wages than ever before. In addition, the increased demand for textile products has provided for a general improvement in the economy of the textile industry and the overall economy of the textile communities through pay roll increases- The Newberry plants of Ken dall, Mollohon and Ookland, con sumed 21,340 bales of cotton this first 6-months period. The Pelzer plants at Pelzer consumed 28,581 bales during this period of time. 2 RACES OPEN.
