THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
(The Columbia Record)
Reviewing the action of the com
mitfee of Florence citizens in endors
inj; the plans and purposes of the
South Carolina Devt:jpnient Board
w«i believe that.it was rather for,
tunate that the squabble arose in
Columbia last week. There has been
continued sniping at the activitie-
ot the Board. 'Oie whole subject
hiffc been brought out into the open
now, •■'and threshed out. Gentlemer

The Florence committee was com
posed* of good sound citizens, and
thefr unqualified endorsement of
the Board draws added force from
the circumstance that it was givei
immediately fcliowiug the open fight
in • .Florence. The committee acted
with a full knowledge of the entire
matter, and that they acted favorab
to the Board should have a salutar>
effect on its future.
The insinuations that there were
"sinister purpef ?s" underlying the
plans cf the Board have always
seemed to be far-fetched and ridi
culoitfi 'to the Record, in view of the
men whose names appear as its off
cpis. directors and sponsors. Among
them are some of (lie best citizen:
the State. To impute “sinister pm
poses” 1 to' them is to slander tin
state. "• Certain of the details ol

the sincerity and purity of their mo

are Convinced,
There is. heaven knows, a great
and urgent r need that Kopiethlm.

things it purposes attempting, it
will have done incalculable good foi
the people of the State. Anybody
can pick flaws in any plan that was
ever suggested,' but picking flaws is
an uftprtyfkabjo. game, in an under
taking uf this character The men
who are interested in the Board do
not object. We- know, to proper cri
tlcism, because that is usually help
ful, but we do not blame them foi

unJtiat criticism that has been di

The criticism that similar move

of no significance and does not af

He rose to show ids wlllingnecs. and
the girl was delighted, believing that
her plan was going to work. But when
the drug store was reached and the
candy was bought, he displayed no in
tention of paying the bill. So, of
