Reecalling U.S. Foundations
Dear Editor:
As this time of year rolls around our
thoughts quriabl{ touch, however briefly, on
the true meaning of Christmas, Simply, it is the
celebration among Christian peoples of the
birth of their Lorg and Saviour. Ag least that
is what it should be in its purest form.
. As we so remember Jesus the Christ, the
htera! Son of God, let us here in America
especially remember that this nation, the
greatest in recorded history in both might and
righteousness, was founded, not by Jgews on
Judaism, or by Moslems on Islam, or on any
other religion, but by Christians on Christian
principles.
Let us also reflect on the sad fact that we,
as a people and as a government, have fallen
away from those true Christian principles. As
our morality has changed, so has our attitude
toward the U. S. Constitution. Gone are the
days when our laws, as a nation, were measured
against the Supreme Law, the Constitution
(which was Divinely inspired). Now, as our
worldly desires andv views blind our eyes to
Christianity, so they blind us to the origin and
pur&?se of our Supreme Law.
hen worldly-minded men attack our Con
stitution (some calling it out-dated), they are
following the anti-Christian line of th°2§ht' The
laws of our Constitution were designed to last
for etemitlylrl because they were based on eter
nal laws which do not change. The right of free
speech, the right to keep and bear arms, the
rights of those accused of crimes, and in fact
a.lf of the original ten amendments, or ‘‘Bill of
Rights” are certainly God-given and Christian
in principle.
The enemies of both Christ and our Con
stitution are many. They are not openly so, but
come to us as ‘“wolves in sheep’s clothing.” In
Yeltsin Following Trotsky
Dear Editor:

munism is finished.
Recent political developments in the
U.S.S.R. have been described%y the press and
news medium as a coup that failed.
A State of Emergency Committee of ei%ht
leading communists %laced Gorbachev under
arrest at his vacation home, issued statements
that he was “ill,”’ and announce they were tak

this coup Gorbachev return to Moscow
unharme(P to resume his leadership, only to find
that in his absence, Boris Yeltsin hati' moved
in to fill the vacuum of power. Gorbachev’s gen
tle treatment at the hands of his captors might
be explained by the fact that he had afipointed
all of the eight leaders of the coup to their high
ranking positions in the government.
The definition of a coup is a political
maneuver which successfully seize control of a
government.
No serious effort was made by the Commit
tee of Eight to seize control. They sent tanks
rolling toward Moscow, but they did not attack.
They never seized communications. The fieople
of Bioscow could see no army planes in the air,
meaning the armed forces, and esgecially the
air force was not takin%lpart in the coup.
Month after month, the American press had
bombarded our people with the repeated
demands that if G%rbachev’s reforms were to
work in Russian, it would be necessary for us
Don’t Confuse Klan With Reds
Dear Editor:
There are many, many different factions of
Ku Klux Klan in our state and country. Each
faction has different beliefs, but we all have one
major belief, and that’s in the purification and
advancement of our white race. The Invisible
Emfiire Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan, is one
of the largest, if not the largest, Ku Klux Klan
organization; we're a world-wide patriotic move
ment, dedicated to the causes and principles of
our white Christian race.
I've talked to a lot of different é)eople, since
I've been in this organization, and the majori
ty of people think we're a Communist organ
ziation, not true, this, I feel is because the
üblic sees these OEanizations arriving at our
Functions, (the Skinheads, which is not a Klan
organization, but are for the white race), as well
as other factions of Klan. Some of the people
in these various groups carries German flags,
neo-Nazi arm-bands, memorabilia, etc. We in no
way agree with or worship Adolph Hitler, he
was America’s enemy, not her friend!
If you would like more information on the
Ku Kfl’.lx Klan located in your area, just write

Tom Hogg, a member of the Chattooga

true prophetic fashion they put forth evil for
ood, and call good as evil. They call for
grotherly love and under its guise call for
tolerance of homosexuality, and encourage
racial intermarriage. They stand by approving
ly as the sanctity of American homes are
J;stroyed by unconstitutional search and
seizure ‘‘Drug War” tactics. They attack the
rights of free speech (lest some minority be of
fended), and they call for the control or aboli
tion of our right to keggl and bear arms (guns
kill people, they say). They forget to mention
these rights are not man-given, but are God
given and ‘‘unalienable.”
With true Satanic cunning they can argue
down and misrepresent every Christiain prin-
Cifill: and every Constitutional right. As true
Christians become fewer and fewer, the Con
stitution will become weaker and weaker. Even
now, the battle is raging between two systems.
One system will ultimately destroy the other.
These two systems are first, God's Law, and
second Man’s Law. The Bible instructs us to
study the Word, and to keep learning always.
As we study the Word and meditate on it, we
can begin to see the differences in the Law of
God and the Law of Man. We can see the dis-
Earence in Constitutional Law and in Man’s
aw.
This Christmas I would admonish every
true Christian to uphold our Constitutional law
at every opportunity, keeping in mind that “No
man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can
not serve God and mammon.” I believe this
commitment is the best Christmas present we
coulcifi'lve ourselves and our children.

to send more cash. $l5O billion was the figure
most often rtg)eated and other demands for as
much as $250 billion. When congress was ag)-
proached with the demands for these sums, the
answer was ‘‘no way.”
It would not be su;grising to learn that this
cm&p had been dreamed up by Henry Kissinger
and set in motion I:I);y the recent appearance of
President George Bush in Russia.
These leaders of the New World Order will
never take “no” for an answer. If congress
would not give them $l5O billion for the Soviet
Union, the American people would have to be
convinced that it was absolutely necessary to
advance this money at once. This could only be
done by a carefully staged fake coup in Russia.
The coup represents the final triumph of the
Trotskyites in Bussia and the official end of the
Stalinist era. Yeltsin is working through hard
line Trotskyite groups in Washington such as
the National Endowment for Democracy, a
government-funded operation. Yeltsin has come
on line and is in tune with the New World
Order.
Gorbachev, who had hoped to survive the
transition from Stalinism to Trotskyite Com
munism in Russia, has failed to make the grade.
What does this mean for the American people?
It means that, regardless of what brand of com
munism they have in Russia, we should make
every effort to free ourselves from the grip of
Communist tyranny in the United States as the
vehicle of the New World Order.

Bags of garbage and emptied Christmas
Plunkett-Williams
Seek Mayoral Post
By JULIE GRIFFIS
Staff Writer
Voters of Trion will be
heard today, Jan. 2, as they
turn out to cast their votes for
malror and town council. Polls
will open at 7 a.m. and close at
7 p.m.
Incumbent Mayor Hoyt
Williams will vie against
golitical newcomer Allen
lunkett. Those running for
council slots are incumbents
Henry Miller and Dwight
Arden, newcomers Jack
Williams, Robert ‘“‘Butch”
Overstreet and Roy Brown,
and former council member
Roy Bowers.
The Summerville News ask
ed each town hopeful to answer
three questions out of six, their
choice, on a questionnaire
developed by The News.
The News was unable to
contact three of those running
in the elections. That's why
their responses are not
available. They are Bowers,
Overstreet andy Arden.
When asked about his
stance on closed meetings,
which Trion is not known ?or
having, Miller responded that
he feels closed meetings should
be held in accordance with the
state Open Meetings Act.
Jack Williams answered
that ‘“The only time a closed
meeting should be held is con
cerning personnel. I think we
should comply with the states’
open meetings act.”
According to Mayor
Williams, ‘““Since the state's
ogen meetings act was
adopted, the Trion Town Coun
cil has complied with the law to
the best of my knowledge.
There was one exception, that
I know of, when the press was
inadvertently not notified. If
this ever arises again I will not
conduct a meeting until proper
notification has been given.”
The News asked the politi
cians to name three specific
issues that theK feel should be
addressed by the town council
and how they propose to deal
with each issue.
Mayoral challenger
Plunkett said, ‘I would like to
start a preventative mainte
nance program in all depart
ments. By doing this we could
head off problems before they
materialize. This could save bi
bucks on down the line ang
eliminate serious problems.”
“If elected mayor, I want to
work in harmony with all
department managers to con
trol cost and stay within our
budgets,” Plunke{t resgonded.
“Their comments and ideas
will be appreciated.”
Plunkett added, “We need
to take a very close look at the
tax digest and the millage
rate.”
Another topic of concern
was the town's wastewater
treatment plant.
“We are in the process of
adding equipment that we feel,
that under normal conditions,
will enable us to operate in
com}?rliance with Environmen
tal Protection Division (EPD)
standards,”’ according to
Mayor Williams.
‘After this e?uipment is
operational and if we are not
able to stay in compliance, then
we would naturally try to find
the cause and correct it,”
Williams added.
Brown responded that ‘‘the
wastewater treatment situa
tion has to be corrected. Every
avenue must be explored for
the early detection oP problems
and we must learn from past
mistakes and make sound Seci—
sions to insure a healthy and
clean environment for the
citizens of Trion.”
“I feel that we have tried to
do evergthinf that our
engineer has told us to do to
correct the situation and we are
still having equipment install
ed at a great cost to correct the
problem,” responded Miller.
“If we have more trouble
after this, we will still try to

solve it,”" Miller added.
Since the Trion industrial
park is little more than a lot of
land with a sign identifying it,
having no water or sewer lines,
The Summerville News wanted
to know if candidates felt it
would be feasible to develop
the park.
I feel it would be great for
some industries to buifi; in this
area and for water and sewer
lines to be installed in the
park,” responded Jack
Williams.
Mayor Williams didn’t
agree.
“I don’t think it would be
feasible at this time to develop
the park because our water
treatment plant is operating at
near capacity and with the ex
pansion of Mount Vernon-
Riegel Mills now under way we
need to be prepared for any in
crease they may require,”
Williams said.
Williams’ competitor,
Plunkett, responded that since
he isn’t familiar with the
town's finances on the in
dustrial park, he couldn’t give
an answer as to the feasibility
of development at this time.
“However I do not feel we
shouldn’t give anyone a free
ride. If a good irospect comes
in, I feel sure they would give
us ample time to install water
and sewer lines. My plans are
to take a good, lonfi look at this
situation,”’ he said.
Miller responded that he’s
in favor of developing the in
dustrial park, but only after
the wastewater treatment
plant problems are solved.”
What is the major goal
these men would have if elected
to the Trion town government?
Plunkett said, “‘lf elected
maKor, my major goal would be
to have cooperation and good
communication lines among
the elected officials and also
have a iOOd working relation
ship with existing industry and
any future business ventures
that would consider locating in
the Trion area.”
“Also, I would like to see
the Trion city schools operated
as efficiently as possible
without sacrificing the high
standard we have maintained
over the years. Any input from
department managers and
scl?ool officials would be most
welcome,”” Plunkett added.
Brown said his major goal
as a member of the Trion coun
cil would be threefold.
“First, it would be to
strengthen our education
system,” he responded. ‘‘Se
cond, it would be to make sure
we stay environmentally sound
in every wa&'. Third would be to
protect and respect our elder

Jack Williams said his ma
jor goal would be ‘‘to improve

prog'rams.”
ome candidates listed
three specific reasons why the
voters of Trion should elect
them, rather than their
opponent.
Miller responded that after
eight years on the council, he
feels that he is ‘‘experienced
and qualified,” he saig.e “I have
tried to listen to the citizens of
Trion and vote for their needs
and I will continue to do this.”
“I am available to the peo
ple of Trion and if re-elected, I
will continue to try to serve
these people.”
Brown said there are three
majors reasons he hopes the
voters will elect him.
“One is mf' genuine concern
for the people and town,” he
said. ‘“Two is my qualifications
as a leader and a manager.
Three is my stand on educa
tion, the environment, and the
elderly.”
Hoyt Williams noted on his
questionnaire that he has 40
years of business and supervi
sion experience.
“When I complete this term
as mayor, I will glave served a
total of 15 years and eight
months on the Trion Town
Council,” he said. “I feel that
the town of Trion will have a
better government because of
my knowledge of the opera
tions of the town and of state
and federal regulations, in
which we must comply.”
Mayor Williams added,
“The town is in a strong finan
cial position and I will continue
to protect it and offer town ser
;}ces as economically as possi

The two mayoral can
didates, Williams and
Plunkett, will io head to head
