It is difficult for me to rea
lize that I am in the United
States because I have spent ten
years in South America and
looked forward to my beloved
and glorious country; now what
do I find 9 New York City, which
1 have long cherished, with an
apartment in the splendid build
ing given to New York Univer
sity by Miss Helen Gould. That
was a scene of quiet beauty.
I rode every day from one ex
treme of the city to Wall
Street, passing through Harlem.
Going to classes in a building
behind LD Trinity Church. Day
after day I made the trip, leav
ing the University after classes.
1 now have no wish to go
to New York. So much of the
United States seems to be under
the threat of hoodlums. I had
better remain in South Caro
lina where everything is quiet
and people go to church.
1 love the South and have
traveled up and down the Na
tion but I think South Caro
lina is the best place in the
world.
It is not an easy task of the
President to bring back our
troops from Asia, they not all
went there at one time, nor can
they turn their backs on Asia
and all leave at one time be
cause when our men start leav
ing they can be shot in the back.
W r hy we ever sent half a mil
lion men to Vietnam-Asia is a
flagrant case of our meddling
with what did not concern us.
We are hearing about trou
bles in Atlanta, so I wonder
where we could go in safety
outside of South Carolina.
It seems to me that the chan
ces for Albert Watson to be
Governor are improving.
Before the Supreme Court it
was argued that the Constitu
tion does not require the elimi
nation of racially identifiable
public schools.
If the lawyers do not know
what the law is. what is the
position of the average private
citizen 9
The president has vetoed the
bill to limit campaign costs.
Letter to Editor
The Democrat Party in South
Carolina and John West seem
ingly do not understand that
they can not continue to domi
nate the political thinking of
tne citizens of S. C. Mi. West
wildly accuses Republicans of
smear tactics when the opposi
tion simply quotes the facts re

West’s liberal political philoso- 1
phy. Quoting Mr.. West from
various state newspapers seems
to make him uncomfortable as
it should—after all the citizens
of S. C. repudiated Mr. West
in 1968 when he campaigned
for Hubert Humphrey.
The Democrat Party in S. C.
must face competition squarely
and realize they can not con
tinue to mislead the people of
S. C. blindly voting Democrat
for candidates who never even
visit the South or seek to im
prove the status of the South.
South Carolinians are not free
unless they have more than one
party to represent them, be
cause thru competition better
candidates will be able to seek
public office.
Recent voting trends have
shown South Carolinians voting
conservative on important is
sues; conservative in the sense
that we value our laws, our
courts, our private independence
of thought and our patriotism.
South Carolinians thus think con
servatively, as Americans. Al
bert Watson, Republican candi
date fer governor is a true con
servative, and a loyal South
Carolinian; he thinks as the
people of our state do. John
West does not think like the
majority of the people of the
state. We can not afford to e-
lect this man on November 3rd
because his election would put
him in a better position to de
liver this state back to the li
beral Democrats in 1972, to the
Hubert Humphries, the George
McGoverns and Teddy Kenne
dy!
Sincerely,
Harold Derrick
To the Editor:
John West is a desperate man
who refuses to discuss the is
sues of the campaign and in
stead charges the Watson cam
paign as racist. Let me make
note that West recently refused
to participate in a television in
terview with Albert Watson.
John West has in desperation
snatched the familiar smear
tactic of racism used commonly
by liberal Democrats.
West is avoiding the real is
sues facing South Carolina and
her citizens who deserve new
leadership to solve the problems
of our society's social, econo
mic. and educational structure
which has been marked by in
creased taxes but without a re
sulting increase in services.
South Carolina must not allow
a man in his desperation to
perpetuate his party's one hun
dred years of domination to
stagnate South Carolina.
South Carolina needs compe
tition in government the same
as business requires if the peo
ple's interests are to be better
served. Let us look to the future
and leave the past one hundred
years of one-party control be
hind with the election of a lea
der, such as Albert Watson.
Sincerely,
D G. Ruff, Jr.
Newberry, S. C.
To the Editor;
South Carolina must have
sounder economic policies as
urged by Jim Henderson and
Albert Watson if our states’ edu
cational system is to improve.
Dr. Inez Eddings has pointed
out we have 22 teacher training
colleges that are graduating
less than 2,000 teachers each
year and 1,000 of these take
teaching jobs out of S. C. This
represents the highest level of
economic ignorance and extra
vagance by our state. No South
Carolina business or industry
would invest to train its em
ployees and have them prosely
ted by their competitors in
other states.
I ask where are our fiscal
experts, who are permitting
this fantastic brain-drain in our
state.
The S. C. Development Board
has reported that for every col
lege graduate leaving this state,
we experience $750,000 in eco
nomic loss. Just in the teach
ing profession this amounts to
more than $20,000,000 per year
and economic irresponsibility..
S. C. can have quality educa
tion and a better economy No
vember 3rd with Dr. Inez Ed
dings as State Supt. of Educa
tion.
Sincerely,
George Bedenbaugh

Want to “tiptoe through the
tulips” next spring? Now’s the
time for garden work.
Emory Jones, assistant ex
tension specialist in horticul
ture, says there’s a place in
most residential landscapes
where tulips, daffodils, Iris,
crocus, and hyacinths are adap
table. “They will fit the design
scheme whether formal, infor
mal, or natural,” he says.
These ideas are given for get
ting maximum results:
Bulb varieties should be cho
sen with colors complementing
the color scheme of the existing
garden plants. Bulbs should be
massed or chumped by variety
for best effect. Avoid long, sin
gle lines of bulbs, especially
where mixed colors are used.
Plant in drifts or curving beds
and avoid circular beds. It’s
best to have no more than two
colors blooming at a time but
several shades of the same co
lor are considered compatible.
Background is important in
selecting and placing bulb plant
ings. Small-leaved plants such
as sp!rea, boxwood, or Japa
nese holly combine well with
small-blossomed bulbs such as
narcissus and crocus. Low stone
walls and picket fences are
also good background for the
smaller flowering type?..
As the background becomes
taller and heavier, larger flo
wering types should be used and
the bed be given greater depth.
Bulbs should be planted dur
ing October in the Piedmont
section, and three or four weeks
later than this in the coastal
plains counties.
