The church was attractively deco

burned tall white tapers completed ating.

The ceremony was preceded by a

A Private Citizen Speaks His Mind

On Men and Things
Is South Carolina a New Deal
state? Is this state an enthusiastic
supporter of President Roosevelt?

Roosevelt, but I met a citizen recent

like that has happened to our Demo

Well, really—isn’t the weather too
hot to unravel that? Bishop Smoak
of Colleton, a. high priest among our
Methodist brethren, might throw
some light on that. And there is that
finest of gentlemen, and a stern war
rior of the Cross, Brother Rice of
Union. What sort of Baptist church
would that be?

South Carolina owes much to some
