Sen. J. Strom Thurmond lashed out here Tuesdav at socialistically inclined" Demo crats and told a cheering throng that I tremble as to what will happen to this country if Sen. Goldwater is not elected." Thurmond, flailing President Johnson and running mate Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, said Bar ry Goldwater was the man who would keep this country from plunging down the road to socialistic dictatorship. A crowd of several thousand, including hundreds of Clemson University students, gathered in front of Clemson Field House for the televised Republican rally featuring the South Carolina senator. Interrupted at least a dozen times by cheers and applause, Thurmond warned that America must keep strong economically, spiritually and militarily if she is to survive. He said Goldwater feels that peace can be attained through strength rather than indecision, disarmament and appeasement. FOREST OF SIGNS "We'll have financial collapse unless Goldwater is elected," Thurmond shouted into a virtual forest of Goldwater signs.

And, erson ran Anderson 4-H Member Wins Holstein Show is not "trigger happy" as the Democrats have painted him. "He is against war because he knows what war is," Thurmond said. He said Johnson and Humphrey have supported disarmament. The senator, occasionally waving his arms for emphasis, attacked the Civil Rights Act as being unconstitutional and said liberal minority groups are trying to "cram it down our throats." Thurmond said the Democrats have been ordered to lay off enforcement of the Civil Rights Act until after the election, just like the demonstrations were called off. Thurmond said Goldwater is a friend of the farmer and to all working men because "he wants a better standard of living for every man and woman in South Carolina and the United States." The senator said he had never seen anyone maligned as much as Sen.

Goldwater. He said the liberal press has attacked the senator because "he won't bow and scrape to the liberals." Thurmond referred to Sen. Humphrey as "Hubert Heartbeat Humphrey" because he "is only a heartbeat away." He said Humphrey a3 a member of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action has favored everything which South Carolinians Cases Discussed Recommended that all area high schools be provided with "a full athletic program" with emphasis on physical education.

The grand jury requested that the county delegation and the supervisor take action on recommendations and report in writing to the jury by the next court term. The jury found roads and By DOUGLAS MAULDIN News Staff Writer Pickens County General Sessions Court jury Tuesday acquitted Anthony Holliday, 21, of charges of reckless homicide and manslaughter The jury deliberated 25 minutes before announcing its verdict, which freed Holliday in the Nov. 17, 1963, death of 16-year-old Tommy Joe Kelley of Six Mile. Kelley was killed almost instantly as a car in which he rode left a secondary road between Norris and Central, bounced off several rocks and trees and disintegrated into three chunks. Holliday was seri ously injured.

The state put three witnesses, including Tommy Joe's brother, Donny Kelley, 18, on the stand in an attempt to put Holliday behind the driver's wheel of the car the night it took the fatal plunge. Defense attorney W. Howard Ballenger of Walhalla did not put up any witnesses after Solicitor B. O. (Tommy) Thomason Jr.

had concluded the state's case. Donny Kelley, Carlos Smith, 19, and Ricky Holder, 17, all testified that Tommy Joe and Holliday left Six Mile together about 12:30 a.m., an hour or so before the crash was discovered. ALL AGREE Holliday, they all agreed, was sitting in the driver's seat with Kelley in the right front seat. But none of the three could testify either under direct or cross examination that Holliday was driving his mother 1958 Ford when it wrecked later. None of the three witnesses, they testified, saw Holliday or Tommy Joe Kelley after they left Six Mile together.

However, Smith and Kelley said they saw the Holliday car go by five minutes after it left Six Mile at a high rate of speed. They could not see who was driving, they testified. State Highway Patrolman R. R. Smith said a motorist spotted the headlights of the wrecked car in the woods and reported the accident about 2 a.m.

on Nov. 17. Smith said evidence showed the car was traveling east up a steep S-curve grade when it zigzagged in the road, striking chunks of rock before splintering apart in the woods, throwing out both occupants. Holliday was found nearest the car, Smith said, with his head resting against a front wheel. DROVE HOLLIDAY Donny Kelley testified he had driven Holliday, who had no driver's license, to Greenville, Easley, Central and to Six Mile that night.

Holliday had drunk six beers in all, he said. Kelley said his younger brother had a restricted driver's license to operate a vehicle from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. without an adult. Pickens Deputy Sheriff Glen Gibson said he chased a 1958 Ford at high speeds near Six Mile about 1:45 a.m.

on the night of the fatal crash, but could never get close enough to identify the car nor its occupants. In other court action Tuesday, four Pickens youths were sentenced by Judge James B. Morrison after pleading guilty to a series of break-ins and attempted break-ins in which small amounts of money were taken.

Daniel R. McLeod filed a motion Tuesday asking that the State Supreme Court hear an appeal concerning the state's eminent domain law during its November term of court. McLeod asked that a hearing on the case be moved up because of pressing issues linked to it. Normally the case would not be heard until the January or February terms of court. The state is appealing Circuit Judge John Grimball's Sept.

1 ruling which declared the state's 1936 eminent domain law invalid. Eminent domain pertains to the state's right to appropriate land for the public welfare. The case stemmed from the University of South Carolina's plans to buy up property for its building expansion program.

By DOUGLAS MAULDIN News Staff Writer PICKENS The Pickens County Grand Jury recommended Tuesday that the county "seriously consider" establishment of either a county court or a juvenile and domestic relations court. The grand jury, winding up its work, made the recommendation in its presentment to Circuit Judge James B. Morrison, presiding over General Sessions Court here.

"We are becoming increasingly alarmed over the large number of domestic relations cases which are being handled by the General Sessions Court under the guise of non-support cases," the presentment stated. "At the present time, non-support cases are covering approximately 25 to 30 per cent of all cases in the criminal court, "It is our feeling, and we so recommend, that the Pickens County (Legislative) Delegation seriously consider the establishment of either a county court or a juvenile and domestic relations court in order to take some of the burden off the Court of General Sessions with regard to these domestic cases. "Many citizens of Pickens County are unable to obtain quick and prompt relief in domestic matters due to the lack of a county court or juvenile and domestic court." The presentment said lack of these recommended courts works hardships on many families. Such courts, the jury said, "would be of invaluable service and enable justice to be administered promptly." FELT COURT The jury felt the court could be set up with a minimum of expenses and "would more than pay its way in service over the years." In other recommendations the jury: Asked that the county delegation expedite planning and construction of the new prison stockade during the coming years. If the stockade is not built, it suggested measures to improve sanitation, food preparation, additional laundry facilities and personal counseling for inmates needing it.
