that the Grading Bill be passed; |

State Senate Of the great state of
South Carolina had killed this undc
mocratc, autocratic measure. Scna-
tor Clifton, of Sumter advised his col
leagues that his constituency did not
want this measure passed. He put
the wants Of his constituency above
the recommendations of Il minority.
The representatives from other coun-
ties soon fell in line. ! think this
great body Of law makers look deeper
into this matter than you, my dear
ID. ID. S. farmer. They saw back at
their homes on the farms Il tccmmg
ma ajority Of the bony-handcd sons of
toll going about their daily tasks, who
were not represented at the meetings
you have referred to- These boys back
on the farm did not belong to the
opulent class and goldcrowncd var
icty of farmers.
South Carolina is Il democratic
state. Her leaders are composed of
red bloodcd, fair minded men, who
| are sons of noble sircs and would not,
| am sure, pass Il measure that would
infringe upon the God-given rights Of
her citizenship. We arc not living in
the days and under the yoke of an alb
SOlutc monarchy.
The General Assembly would have
just as much right to say YOU could
not cultivate any tobacco at all as
they would to pass law making it
mandatory upon the citizenship to
