Y., thinks I am wront» a when I assert that one should never say, “No, you’re wrong.” He thinks there are times when a man should be told definitely that he is wrong. Well, note that I didn’t say you must always agree with a man, though I did say for you not to say, "No, ’ you’re wrong.” It is the phrasing that / is important. Dr. Lieberman says—and I am sure that you will agree with him, as I do—that there is an art in saying no, and this ayt is based on the oldest law of human relationships—respect for the other fellow. •‘When someone comes to me with an idea,** says Dr. Lieberman, “I ask him to spill it; and as soon as possible I' agree with some minor point of his proposition. Then I ask him to come back after a few days or a week, when we both will have had time to think over the matter. If, turns, my answer is still no, I say no, but I give reasons for my conclusion, and I attempt to raise his own self-esteem by sug gesting a substitute idea not too far removed from his own. "Before I end the interview, I praise him for the value of his idea and ask his opinion about some other matter about which 1 knoW him to be wel\ informed.^ You wOl note that Dr. Lieberman tactfirily, refrains from arguing; that he is honest in his treatment, and that he shows the man the respect that everyone craves. And you can bo sure that Dr. Lieberman has many more pa tients than he would have if ho put up an argument with - them on matters in which they are not wholly in accord. If he shouted, "No, you’re wrong!” when tl?ey did not agree, he would be sure to offend the sensibilities of some of those patients, with the result that they would not care to have further association with him. TEXTHE^HEADSAYS INDUSTRY BEGINS 1950 WITH CONFIDENCE More closely united than ever be—| creased stability for the future, fore in modern history, the cotton textile industry will begin 1950 with a confidence inspired by new-found strength, Ellison S. McKissick, of Easley, president of the recently- formed American Cotton Manufac turers Institute, asserted at the year end. Stronger because of its ability to present a united front in dealing with national and international pro blems, the industry faces the com ing year much better equipped for efforts to protect and preserve the industry and the jt bs of the hun dreds of thousands ot American men and women it employs. Providing direct evidence in 1949 of the resilience it has acquired dur ing the period of painful post-war adjustment, the industry by the manner in which its members have learned to coordinate production and merchandising with/T'apid changes in demand, offers (promise of in- OFFICE BOOKS—Ledgers, all kinds, • Ledger Sheets, Loose Leaf Bind- . ers, Cash Books, Journals, Day Books, Sales Books, Columnar Pads Call 74. Chronicle Publishing Co. / Through modernization and im provement programs, the mills have continued to make concentrated ef forts to hold down unit costs so as to provide the best quality products at lowest possible prices for the con sumer. They realize it is to their advantage to enjoy maximum pro duction entailing full employment, and to this end they will continue to accept what they have always considered their mercantile respon sibilities as imposed when forward lines of distribution pursue realistic buying policies. With all sales indications pointing to a continuatibn of the favorable ratio of.unfilled orders to stocks on hand for the next few months, cot- t&n textile mills approach the new calendar year in a firm technical position. Business outlook for the first six months of 1950 is bright although international development and their possible effect on our for eign textile. markets will have to be watched carefully and necessary ac tion taken by the industry to retain for this country a fair share,of the world te v t ! !e tr^de. • (Continued from page one) nation as a whole and, in that re ^ ; spect, this state ranked third among ft all states in percentage increase dur- ing that period. | ‘^Tbe- most astomshing imiex of j i financial improvement in this state I is the relative increase in federal taxes paid by the people of South Carolina between 1939 and 1947. For the nation as a whole, federal tax collections increased 6^ . times (657 per cent) while in South Carolina these collections increased during the same period 15 times (1518 per cent). South Carolina was ninth from the top among all the states in in creased payments of federal taxes during the 1939-47 period.” "Agriculture,” said Mr. Wiggins, “has made a notable advance in this state in recent years. In 1948, cash farm income in South Carolina reached a new high level of $335,- 000,000 as compared with $99,000,000 in 1940, •the rate of increase being eleventh from the top among all states.” He commented on the im provement in the staple of cotton and of the increased yield per acrO of to bacco and corn. "Probably the most notable ad vance in agriculture in this state in recent years,” he said, “has been the development and adoption of pro-! grams for the conservation of the soil.” f He urged the development {of the livestock industry in the state. Mr. Wiggins was enthusiastic in his praise of South Carolina'sjstate government and of its sound $nan- cial position. He said that whole the quality, the effectiveness, the efficiency, the fairness of a^jmin- l istration and the tax structure of this! state rank South Carolina among the top third of the best goverifments. in this country.” The fairness of the state to indus trial enterprises was illustrated, he said, by the fact that the state tax board of review had not had an ap peal from the findings of the South Carolina Tax commission in four years. In discussing some needs of the ^ state, Mr. Wiggins stressed the ne-r •. cessity of a reorganization and im provement of assessment on real es- \ tate and other property which he said is long overdue. 15-POINT FARM PROGRAM GIVEN FOR THE STATE (Continued f’-om ooge one) boys ,and girls in better farming and homemaking, health, citizenship, and leadership.
