The Late Jack H Young THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949 or new machinery in European tex- :an tile plants. Ha said that the Ameri can textile industry, taxed along with other taxpayers, to equip a competi tive industry in Europe is justified in its fears of this policy. He said British cotton mills, with j their lower wages, can undersell the : American mills here and abroad if ! they receive new and up-to-date ma- j chinary as a gift from taxpayers in | the United States. He reiterated that | Congress should inquire and let the ; people know what are the definite 1 plans for expenditures of European | recovery funds. Asks Question "What assurance can be obtained . from France and particularly Britain that industries equipped by-Ameri can taxpayers will not be national ized?" he asked. "Do not destroy the American goose that is laying golden eggs to help, the needy all over the earth," Byrnes urged. THE LUCK OF POLITICAL ACCIDENT The FTogress has in some sense been disturbed ever since the States Rights News & Courier cast sarcas tic comment on the dictum of the Progress that President Truman was a political accident. It would infer that the President who is so popular in the South attained to the heights— and to be absolute (almost) ruler of the greatest nation of earth is a lof ty height — by his sheer ability. It might say that he is a great scholar: he was made a doctor by Rollins College in Florida; it might say he is a great military leader: he was a first loo-ey in World War I; it might say he is a great musician: he plays what we used to call ragtime, pat ting his foot to keep time; it even might say he came to the top through the business world, but we refrain from going into the Independence clojhihg store venture. It is in pol- itics that he attained the glamour which draws the admiration of the News & Courier. He was trained un- , der Missouri’s great man whose] name was Pendergrast and whose address in later years was Leaven worth. It was doubtless his ability that ied Roosevelt to suggest him to head off Charleston’s statesman from 1 the presidency. In spite of these many suggestions and strong argu ments, the Progress feels it is sus tained in its opinion by the recent fiasco of the Civil Rights War in Congress. Truman rides high under the banner of Lady Luck. It has al ways been so for was it not said by the prophet of ancient Hebrew days: ‘T returned, and saw under the sun, that the race w T as not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but! time and chance happeneth to them CITY SHOE SHOP Pitta Street Expert Shoe Repairing Clinton and Goldville S.

C.—South Carolina chances for repeating for the fourth year as top peach export state is threatened by recent unseasonal cold weather. Reports from the 3 major peach grow.ng sections vary but they in dicate serious damage to blossoms 'that run as high as complete destruc tion m some orchards. Yom Cole, Clemson Extension Ser vice marketing specialist, said heavy losses occurred in main shipping va- rietaes, Elberta and Golden Jubilee. Earlier varieties faired better. An overall estimate of damage in dicates a 50 per cent crop, but it is to early to arrive at an accurate estimate yet. Cole said. Last year South Carolina orchard- ists sent out of the state 365,000 car loads of peaches by rail and an es timated 1,500 to 2,000 carloads by truck. The damage occurred in a freeee the night of March 15 when temp eratures dropped to from 22 to 25 degrees, and a frost on March 9. Cole said no determination of the state's chances for leading again this year could be made until cold weath er damage to Georgia’s peach crop was ascertained. TEXTILE INDUSTRY IS DISTURBED, SAYS BYRNES r Fears that certain aspects of Jhe. European Recovery FVogram may prove injurious to American indus try were expressed by former Sec retary of State James F. Byrnes of Spartanburg in a recent address. Commenting on industrial and ag ricultural programs in South Carolina since the first commercial shipments of peaches were made from the state in 1870, Byrnes said the management of the state’s large textile industry today is disturbed. They have plen ty of company among business lead ers throughout the country, Brynes added. He said that when he asked bus iness leaders what they thought of the economic outlook, the answer invariably was “if I can tell them what government business can, do.” Business management is disturb ed, Brynes said, because, addition al taxes of $4,000,000,000 may be lev ied upon the people while more taxes are still being paid. Byrnes favored spending what is needed to promote the rehabilitation of Europe, but he said he believed those in charge of these expenditures should give to the taxpayers through Congress an account of how the bil lions have been spent in the past year and how it is' proposed to spend the additional billions asked for in ‘he next 13 months. Brynes quoted a t .ember of the Senate foreign relations committee as telling him European recovery program officials had indicated that around $300,000,00 would fee spent OUR BEST WISHES TO THE I ‘New* Broadway All Clinton and the sur rounding area are proud of our fine new theatre.
