The Expansion Of Soul Is Reviewed By Guss Outstanding Work On Little-Known Era In History Of State Is Published By University Faculty Member By Guss Belissary Prof. R. 1.. Meriwether. head of the Dept. of Ilit,-ry it the Universit of South Carolina. has rendered his state and student- of South Carolina history an incalculable boon in writing The Expansion Of South Caro lina 1729-1765, recent]\y published by the Kingsport l'reSs. The book is a detailed Study of a period of our state's history which has not been thoroughly and ob.jectively analyzed heretofore. The Expansion of South Carolina iz no itly -hy-nigjht production, hastil conceived and executed and inflatel by wild ge:era: lzations.

Profe-or Meriwether intlicated the fundamental social ant economic (iterence, between the I:ack country and the region btlow the fall line and iort shadowed the serious problems to South Carolina that resulte! fron the-c differences. The "Middle country soon fell under the sway of the tide water as its economic and social systen became i-lentitied u%i:hI that of the tidewater but the back country. utirepresentei as it was politically. remained at odds with the older section until after the Civil War. Criticism of the Book The Expansion of South Carolina suffers irom one grave defcct fromi the standpoint of the average literate man who gets his kno,ledge -I history from the (iluted dosages oif H. G. Wells and Van Loo.n-it lack real readability appeal. The liberal use of footnotes, the deta"ed sta tistical studies. the geneological iniormation. the lack of hai!etri,:ie stylI. all serve to prevent the book from appealing to a wide public audience. However, to the historical student who is interesttd in a true a::. exac: history oi a little-known era and movement and who vaes a;:thentic scholarship above a lowering of historical standard- to pander to public taste. I recommend The Expansion of South Carolina.

"Tia Veteran Explorers Return To School After Weary Trip USC Students Weather Hardships Of Camping In Outdoor Sojourn Last Saturday afternoon three University boys, all lovers of the great outdoors, took to said great outdoors on a camp ing trip. Carl Atkins, Bert Hill and John Nash were the trio that hiked to the old Saluda Dam; braved dangers, hard ships and roughed it like old pioneers. But "roughing it" left its tell ing mark. Sunday afternoon the three weary, foot-sore hikers dragged themselves into Tene ment 6, and unconcernedly dropped their packs, aot taking heed where they fell. Each outdoor adict reported that the trip.was a success, but that they aren't anxious to hike 14 miles, sleep in the open in sub-zero weather, or cook their food in thestrue woodsman style again any time soon. As every camper finds adven ture and hardship, so did these readers of "Field and Stream" find theirs. John Nash fell from the top of a cliff and scattered his pack over the entire river bank. Then Friday night he soundly cursed Uncle Sam for not making his Army blankets thick enough to keep a man warm in cold weather. Bert Hill encountered a bull which was grazing peacefully in the swamp. The meeting of Bert and the bull was none too pleasant because Bert carried a red blanket roll, and he had to seek refuge in the Congaree River to keep from being stomped to death. Carl probably went through the whole outing without a single mishap (;t true outdoors man). However a major tragedy was averted in the nick of time when Carl discovered that the rocks he heated and put under his blankets were overheated and had burned holes all the way down to bear skin.
