life and culture. Grayson was also
a contributor to The Southern Quarterly
Review, and Russell's Magazine.
He edited the Beaufort Gazette from
1831-1833. He wrote biographies
of James L. Pettigru, and William
Lowdnes, but unfortunately the life
of Lowdnes was lost in manuscript.
During his lifetime Grayson's abilities
were appreciated. He was a trustee
of the University, Beaufort College,
and the Medical School at Charleston.
Although, when State rights
and secession came into paramount
importance, Grayson opposed secession
with all his strength and to the
end of his life was a Union man, he
was still honored among his fellow
citizens as ail honest, able, and pious
Southern gentleman.
Poll Reveals

Hoover Carreis 31 States;
Carolina Gives Roosevelt
Majority
College students decided in favor of
President Herbert Hoover in a nation
wide presidential poll conducted by 47
colleges in 31 states at the request of the
Daily Princetonian, Princeton University's
campus newspaper. Hoover received
29,289 votes to 18,112 polled by
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Norman Thomas,
Socialist candidate, got 10,470 votes and
William Z. Foster, Communist, 715.
While no poll was held at the University
of South Carolina, a survey was
made by The Gamecock and a report
made to the Daily Princetonian. The survey
showed 77 votes for Hoover, 1,540
for Roosevelt and 9 for Thomas. It was
thought useless to hold a poll due to the
overwhelming number of Democrats at
the University.
Hoover carried 31 colleges, Roosevelt
11 and Thomas 5.

who have returned to take graduate
work this session. Of the 136 who
are enrolled 37 are 1932 graduates of
the University of South Carolina," Dr.
Smith said in his report.

Quarries Is S u b j e c t
South Carolina Proves Second
In United States In
Production Of Stone
More than $2,000,000 worth of stone
was taken from South Carolina quarries
in 1930, according to Dr.VX. I*.
Smith of the University of South
Carolina Geology Department in an
article in the July number of Pit and
Quarry.
The value of stone exceeds all other
non-metallic minerals in South Carolina,
1,391,910 tons having been mined
in 1930, most of it being crushed and
used for concrete and road metal.
Only one quarry, near Winnsboro, has
produced any large quantity of granite
for monumental and construction pur-l
poses. The Winnsboro granite is veryl
desirable, Dr. Smith says, much of it|
being sent out of the state.
According to Dr. Smith, clay ranks U
second in importance among non-1
metallic minerals, South Carolina I
being second only to Georgia in the!
production of clay in the United!
States. Practically $750,000 worth ofl
clay was obtained in 1930. M
Sand and gravel is worth about
$350,000 annually. Practically all the
gravel comes from the Waterce river,
south of Camden. Phosphate rock,
Dr. Smith says, is greatly responsible
for the establishment of the fertilizer
industry, in South Carolina, although
little of it is mined now.
