“NO PERSONAL RIGHTS—
BUT NEW FEDERAL CON
TROLS—BESTOW ED BY
CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
The word has gone out to
the American public that there
is no need to worry about the
pending Civil Rights Bill any
more — it’s been “watered
down. ”
Homeowners, so the word
goes, need not be distressed a-
bout the prospects of the Gov
ernment’s dictating to whom
they may sell their houses.
But the “word” isn’t infall
ible. And the Bill after amend
ment—the version now before
the Congress—still retains
measures which strike out both
individual and State rights.
The “watering down” of the
Bill, first of all, hardly chang
ed a whit of two of the pro
posal’s three sections. If the
present version becomes law,
the Federal Government will
have the authority to supervise
the selection of State juries.
No proof of discrimination will
be needed for Federal interfer
ence: the Government can act
if there is “reason to believe”
discrimination may take place.
The premise of this section
seems to be that the Federal
Government is all-wise and all
fair, while the States and the
people are not.
Having designed a plan for
Federal control of the jury
system, the Bill’s framers then
move to the field of education.
This legislation would give
Washington the now r er to bus
children across town in order
to integrate them. Of course,
Government spokesmen assure
us that this power will never
be used. If so, why delegate
the power in the first place?
Also included in the educa
tion section of the Bill is an
enormous addition to the power
of the Attorney General. At
present, he may only bring
suit against a local school sys
tem if an “injured party” liv
ing within that system has
registered a complaint. But
this current Bill gives him the
power to bring suits even when
nobody has complained about
“injustice”! In other words,
even if both negroes and whites
are satisfied with their local
schools, the Federal Govern
ment can move in to integrate
those schools. Again, only
Washington knows what i s
good for us.
What, then, has been “wat
ered down” in this all-empow
ering Bill? Supposedly the
Fair Housing section. Liberals
in (Songress realized that they
had to knock out—or pretend
to—some of the provisions of
this section, lest the rage of a
million Americans prevented
the Bill’s passage altogether.
For Liberals, this Bill’s pass-
AGREEMENT FOR FROGRESS
THE PUBLIC INTEREST
prevailed last week in agree
ments which remove road
blocks to the construction of
four major proposed projects:
1(1) the $700 million Keowee-
Toxoway nuclear and steam
power generating facility by
Duke Power Company in Pick
ens and Oconee Counties, South
Carolina; (2) the $210 million
steam plant at Middleton Shoals
in Anderson County by Duke
Power Company; (3) the Trot
ters Shoals multi-purpose dam
on the Savannah River in Abbe
ville County by the US Corps
of Engineers; and (4) a paper
mill by Mead Corporation near
the Trotters Shoals site in Ab
beville County.
THE TROTTERS SHOALS
project, as initially proposed,
would have precluded the con
struction of the steam generat
ing plant at Middleton Shoals
In Anderson County by Duke
Tower Company and would
have flooded the site purchased
by Mead Corporation for con
struction of a large paper mill.
The Middleton Shoals plant
would produce 25 times the
electric power that Trotters
Shoals would produce, and
would pay State and local taxes
to the extent of $5,590,000 an
nually, and $7,400,000 In Fed
eral taxes. The proposed Mead
paper mill would provide many
Jobs and would create a new
and better market for timber
products.
UNDER SUCH circumstances,
Congress has not seen fit to
authorize construction of the
Trotters Shoals multi-purpose
Aim. Congressional approval is
also necessary for Duke's Mid
dleton Shoals project, however,
and this, too, has been fore
stalled. The question of whether
the proposed site for the Mead
paper mill would be flooded by
the construction of Trotters
Shoals left this project hang
ing in the balance, also.
DURING THIS IMPA8S,
Duke Power Company an
nounced a proposal to construct
a power generating facility,
with two of the generators to
be nuclear, on the Keowee and
Toxoway Rivers in Pickens and
Oconee Counties. The Rural
Electric Cooperatives in
Georgia and North Carolina, or
ganized as the Bi-State Co
operatives, formally opposed
granting of a license for the
Keowee-Toxoway projects by
the Federal Power Commission
out of apprehension that this
generating facility might in
some way preclude the Trotters
Shoals project.
WITH ALL PROSPECTS
pointing to a continued stale
mate with all projects stalled,
Duke Power Company about
six weeks ago initiated discus
sions directly with the Bi-State
Cooperatives on points of dif
ference concerning the proposed
projects. Last week, the Duke
Power Company and the Co
operatives presented to the Sen
ators from South Carolina and
Georgia, and to the Congress
men in whose Districts the pro
posed projects lie, a proposal
to unsnarl all the projects.
UNDER THE PROPOSAL,
Congress would be urged by all
concerned to authorize the
Duke Middleton Shoals steam
generating plant and also to
authorize at the same time con
struction of the Trotters Shoals
dam at a reduced height which
would be compatible with the
Middleton Shoals plant. The Bi-
State Cooperative would with
draw their opposition to Duke
Power Company's Keowee-Tox
oway project, removing the last
obstacle to the granting of a
license for this facility by the
Federal Power Commission.
Duke Power Company officials
gave assurance that the Mid
dleton Shoals generating plant
would be built when Keowee-
Toxoway is completed.
DUKE POWER COMPANY
officials also reported at the
conference that the proposal
to proceed with Trotters Shoals
would not now conflict with
tiie construction of a paper
mill by Mead Corporation in
Abbeville County, for a suit
able site is now available which
will not be flooded by the res
ervoir of Trotters Shoals Dam,
as would have been the former
site.
SOUTH CAROLINA Is now
assured of adequate electric
power to meet her future needs.
Industrial development and the
jobs created thereby can now
continue unimpeded.
THE RESOLUTION OF this
long standing controversy is in
the best traditions of coopera
tion in a free society. Even
more important, it is the pub
lic interest which prevailed. A
stumbling Mock in the toad of
progress has hem eliminated.

age is essential—because of the
Federal control it contains.
The generous revisers of the
Bill have decided that you may
“discriminate” SOMETIMES.
If, for instance you own four
houses you are allowed to
“discriminate” in the sale of
the first two. Which is to say
you may sell the houses to
whom you please—family or
friends, perhaps. But woe to
you if you sell the third and
fourth houses to persons of
your choosing! If those per
sons happen to be members of
you religion or race, you might
be liable for Federal punish
ment.
Don’t fall for the line that
you’ve got nothing to lose if
this Bill passes. You’ve got a
lot to lose—including your
freedom.

Lawn Insects
First let’s discuss the most
serious lawn insect in South
Carolina and a few control
measures. The Chinch Bugs—
Serious chinch bug damage is
frequently reported in the
Coastal Plains Area of the
State and in recent years even
to the mountains.
The Chinch bug sucks the
plant juices and also releases
a poison. Yellowish-to-dead
patches occur in lawns. The
greatest damage occurs in sun
shiny areas of lawn. Shady
spots are not usually infested
because the chinch bug does not
like to work in the shade.
Young chinch bugs (nymphs)
are about one tenth inch long
and are reddish with a white
band. Adult chinch bugs are
about one-fifth inch long and
are reddish with a white band.
It may be a wise idea to check
your lawn weekly for chinch
bugs. One good method you
use to check your lawn; slide
your foot through the sod and
watch for bugs to crawl across
your shoe. When chinch bugs
are found, treat lawn with a
5 per cent Sevin dust per 1000
square feet, or a 25 per cent
Diazinon 1 1-3 cupsful in spray
foam. Lawn should be sprink
led at least one hour before
applying insecticide.
Garden
Talking about gardening if
we haven’t gotten the garden
fever yet, we can sure get it
this month, especially our
FALL gardens. There are a
number of different types of
vegetables that can be planted
or transplanted during this
month such as; pole beans, li
ma beans, pole lima bean, brus-
sels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage,
collards, cauliflower, cucumber,
eggplant, pepper and tomaties.
Let us get busy and stay
busy and have a good FALL
GARDEN.
Remember — Good Seeds,
strong, healthy plants, fertili
zer, cultivation, irrigation, dis
ease and insect control equal
GOOD HARVESTING THIS
FALL!
Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER
PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
A ll my life I have heard of the
man who is penny-wise and
pound-foolish. And now I am
going to try to picture the man
who saves in little things but
misses greater things. Such a man
was found in Pilgrims Progress,
the man with the muck rake, who
was so busy gathering up little
things that he never saw the
crown of gold held just above his
head.
We might apply the caption to
the man who hoards his pennies
and refuses to believe that it takes
money to make money and like
the man of one talent puts his
talent in a napkin and hides it
away. But the wise man who seeks
goodly pearls, when he finds one
pearl of great price, sells all that
he has and buys that splendid
gem.
As it is in the world of business
and finance, so is it in all our
living. The Chinese have a proverb
—“Pay the price and take it.”
This is true in a house of mer
chandise. If there is a suit that
you like, pay the price and you
may have it. If there is consuma-
tion tha* is devoutly wished, pay
the price iu toil and sacrifice and
you may enjoy it abundantly. If
you would live a good life and
gain heaven at last, meet the
terms of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.

WILL THE “FREE LUNCH’’
GET US?
Many of the millions of Am
ericans who are receiving some
form of governmental “wel
fare” payment appear to have
accepted President Johnson’s
“Great Society” program as
the arrival of the full-blown
“Welfare State.” But they are
already unhappy with what
they are getting out of it. The
so-called Poverty Rights Ac
tion Center, in Washington, D.
C., national headquarters of
the marching type agitators for
bigger and bigger welfare
grants, is attempting to rally
millions of “poverty warriors”
to its banners.
Leaders of the PRAC mar
ches on state capitols in recent
weeks have demanded immed
iate whopping increases in wel
fare payments and a guaran
teed annual income. Such dem
onstrations and such goals are
but manifestations of a dan
gerous state of mind spreading
across the nation in the wake
of $13.3 billion of “federal
aid” flowing from the Federal
treasury each 12 months into
the 50 states (and increasing
each year). Millions of people
have naturally succumbed to
the idea that something can be
had for nothing, that there
really is a “free lunch” and
thus no need to work for a
living.
Endangering Our Society
The mirage of the “free
lunch” will spread to more and
more millions if hardworking
American taxpayers do not put
a stop to the politically-moti
vated growth of “aid” pro
grams both at the state and
Federal levels of government.
There is, of course, legitimate
cases of disabled, handicapped
and incompetent persons who
require and should receive
help. Most of it would be pro
vided by Churches and other
public-spirited agencies—such
as the United Funds—were it
not for politically-motivated
governmental aggressiveness
to expand “aid” programs and
make jobs for “aid” dispen
sers.
The danger of the growing,
glittering mirage of “some
thing for nothing” encom
passes the whole of cur society.
Once people forsake their in
dependence (to any degree)
and inhibit their ability to care
for themselves, they become
like those who take narcotics
to relieve themselves of some
unpleasantness or incapacity.
They most likely will become
addicted to dependence. A
whole nation could fall victim
of the “something for nathing”
mirage and wither gradually
into a desert wasteland of na
tional dependency.
What The Leopard Learned
In traveling across America
and throughout the world 1
never came upon a more
dramatic example of the dan
ger of “something for noth
ing” than the escape of the
leopard from the Oklahoma
city zoo a few years ago. It
was a big news story. Zoo Dir
ector Julian Frazier had ob
tained the lithe and sinewy
leopard from a big game hunt
er in India. The 175 pound
beast had been captured in
the jungle when he seized a
tempting hunk of raw meat—
a “free lunch.” The meat was
on the trigger of a trap. In a
few weeks the leopard was
comfortably situated in a
brand-new 18-foot-deep con
crete pit, a showplace in the
Oklahoma City Zoo.
In the zoo the beautiful ani
mal was fed with sumptuous
meals of raw meat. He did not
have to forage as of old. Lunch
was free. He gained weight
and lost some of his nervous
j furiousness. But the age-old
instinct to be free died slowly.
Late one afternoon, driven by
this instinct, the caged animal
made a single incredible leap,
cleared the wall and the moat
surrounding his pot, and was
free! While the hue and cry of
1 the whole city and countryside
was raised in pursuit, the
leopard roamed in the nearby
woods. For three days he
romped. He got terribly hun
gry. He sought out small game.
But obviosuly he had lost the
old cunning of the hunter. He
couldn’t feed himself!
Paying The Price
Back at the Zoo, huge chunks
of fresh horse meat were plac
ed in the rim of the pit each
sundown. On the fourth night,
the starving leopard slipped
into the Zoo grounds, ap
proached the pit. He caught
the scent of the meat. With a
leap and a growl the big cat
closed its jaws on a four-
pound chunk of fresh horse
meat — another free lunch!
The meat was gulped down,
and so was a second chunk.
Quickly the leopard became
strangely drowsy. He stagger
ed down the runway and cou-
lapsed, asleep.
The captive from India never
again regained his senses.
Within 15 hours he was dead.
Zoo Director Frazier Was
grieved. The meat, he explain
ed, contained a sleeping potion.
And the leopard ate more than
expected. Of course the Zoo
officials had wanted only to
capture their ward, protect it,
and provide for its welfare in
their own way. “We thought
everything was working per
fectly,” Zoo Keeper Frazier
said.
Will Americans, like the
leopard, trade their liberties
for a “free lunch” mirage —
the Welfare State? We will if
we are apathetic and short
sighted.

What’s
Inflation?
'v f
Inflation can be sim ply defined as government injecting more
money into circulation to buy things than there are things to buy at
current prices. While the dollar income goes up the real income goes
down.
What can we do about inflation? In your personal affairs, spend
and save wisely, shop for value, and put a little more aside for the fu
ture — savings are a time tested antidote for inflation.
We are encouraging people to save by paying a high rate of re
turn on savings. Our anticipated Dividend Rate effective July 1st,
TO6, is at the rate of AVz % per annum, compounded semi-annually.
