PATH-
Continued from Page 1
Feb. 17, 1865 when it was
evacuated. During that two
years of constant battering by
the Union forces, the Con-
federates hung in there and
defended their fort against
land and sea attacks. Looking
upon Ft. Sumter from a
distance I had a great urge to
break forth in singing Dixie!
Two of the high points of our
day in the Charleston area
were to visit James Island,
where my grandfather,
Emanuel Stroman, started on
the Confederate march to
Virginia, where he was cap-
tured near St. Petersburg (I
felt I was standing on holy
ground when I stepped from
the car to the edge of a street.)
and the second high point of the
day was to stand on the beach
and watch the breakers of the
Atlantic Ocean roll in. That
was my first time to see the
Atlantic Ocean. It was an
exhilarating experience.
Mixed with the joys of our
day in Old Charles Towne and
its immediate area came a bit
of disappointment. There were
so many places I wanted to see
and things to do, but time and
stairways kept me from doing
so many of those things.
As we visited Market Row
where everything from slaves
to curios have been sold at one
time or another, I caught
myself wishing what I knew
was a vain wish: “I wish no
slaves were bought or sold by
any of my ancestors”. They
may not have been bought on
today’s Market Row, but
slaves were among the per-
sonal properties of an ancestor,
John Jacob Stroman, listed on
an appraisal of his property in
1781. And it still strikes me
hard to look at that list and see
where those slaves (men,
women and children) were
listed along with (though
valued higher than) livestock
on John Jacob Stroman’s farm
list. (Although I am still a
Rebel, it hurts me to know my
ancestors owned slaves.) And I
“fight the Civil War all over
again in my thoughts when I
visit South Carolina”. But the
thing that makes me the
maddest about the Civil War is
to read the history books of
today which make “Slavery”
the CAUSE of that war. I grant
you slavery would have been
cause enough for any war, but
it so happens slavery was not
the CAUSE of the War Between
the States. States’ Right being
infringed upon caused that
war. The “Yankees” made a
big issue of the slavery
problem they had brought to
the United States themselves.
And had those Yankees had
half the foresight that the
Rebels had the war would have
never been fought and the
emancipation of the slaves
would have been made
anyway, and you and I would
not now be caught in the web of
a centralized government as
we are.
But I meant to write about
Old Charles Towne—not the
Civil War!!!!! But I’ll get back
to both one of these days!

Little is known about the
disease other than it is a
metabolic defect. It is not as
yet known whether the
primary lesson is in the
muscles themselves or in some
other part of the body. The
liver or the hormonal system
each supply substances for
various’steps in the metabolic
process, and either the liver or
the hormonal system may be
the site of origin for MD
medical research has in-
dicated.
It is not known where MD
originates in the body, nor has
medical research found any
effective treatment for any of
the various types of the
disease. Muscular dystrophy
has been found in every part of
the world, according to the
literature available on the
disease. And it occurs ap-
proximately in the same
percentage in all parts of the
world.
The Muscular Dystrophy
Association sponsors research
on all types of the disease and
the MDA needs the financial
support of many if an effective
treatment for MD is to be
found. Let each of us lend our
financial support to MDS that
victims such as our own Little
Mac may receive the
necessary treatment to halt the
inroads of MD on his little
muscles.

cents per capita to offer a fair
and equitable means of ob-
taining the necessary funds. Of
the three consultants, one
would study the fuel flow, one
the rate base and the other the
rate of return. A meeting with
these consultants has been set
for Sept. 10 in Dallas according
to Hill.
Hill also indicated that the
committee set-up to study the
rates will meet with Mr.
Hardy, chairman of the board
of directors of CPL to deter-
mine where the cities stand.

Townsend there are four rate
structures in the rate scale
utilized by CPL. A city’s size
determines which rate
structure is applicable.
The rates will go into effect
on Sept. 27 unless notification
by each respective city is
rendered to CPL within 30 days
after the effective date.
Another date to keep in mind is
Dec. 26, 90 days after the
proposed rate increase will
take effect.
CPL can implement the rates
now proposed to the cities, if,
the company puts up a bond
which is set by each city’s
council. All cities must reach
an agreement within 150 days
or rates go into effect, and then
probably the Texas Utilities
Commission will be called in
for a ruling.
Hill noted that energy and its
costs is something that will
have to be looked at very
closely in the future by in-
dividuals as well as
municipalities. “Our intention
is to hire the three consultants
to determine the fair elec-
tricity rate, company service
wide, not to oppose the in-
crease as many people are
being misled to think,” Hill
explained, “We owe it to the
citizens to find out”.
All cities have to start a
hearing process on the rate
hike proposal within 30 days of
the effective date of Sept. 27,
and they must notify CPL of
this meeting.

It is a pleasing task for the
preacher and his family to
linger in the presence of near
and dear friends. It is a source
of gratification to us to know
that we have been privileged to
spend a part of our life with
those who are worthy of the
very best life. We have laughed
and rejoiced together, we have
shared one anothers grief in
the loss of our loved ones, we
have buried our dead, we have
seen our children become
Christians and wished them
well in many weddings, we
have learned to love as
brothers and sisters in Christ
Jesus. Such are the relation-
ships which will last for
eternity.
Though we be separated, we
have the same blessed
privilege of meeting around the
same “blood bought mercy
seat.” And we all can offer our
