Governor Predicts
South Entering New
Development Period
In a compact, straight-from-the
ioulder article in the current issue of
[olland's, "The Magazine of the
outh," Governor Olin D. Johnston
eclares that South Carolina, along
ith other Southern states, is entering
pon a new period of development. In
uis period, he says, "we want equal
rivileges, and we are going to work

He goes on to point out that perhaps

.1 pride, or a simple passing tip of op
artunities. "D)oubtless there was a
mbination of many things," lie as
~rts. "But above all, as I see it. we

SIves ahead as other regions did. I
