South Carolina owes much to some of bur editors and to our radio sta tions for courage and a true sense of public service. There are no venal men in our press; the papers are serving the public with different de fighting spirit but under enormous difficulties — and without much o‘f the golden stream which thf statisticians tell is flowing to ev ery man, woman and child. We have no finer public servants than those who give us the news, both through the papers and over the radio. It is becoming increasingly 'difficult to get out a paper—or to do anything else, as we know so well on the farm.
