But at no time does Mr. Jacobs excoriate or vilify the North. Ra ther, he attempts, through his char acters, to show both sides of the pic ture, and by a balancing of the facts, arrive at a definite conclusion which has been borne out to this day. "When For the Truth” is timely in that the South now faces, to a minor degree, the same misunder-, standing that it faced in those try ing days. The FEPC, the civil lib erties and the anti-lynching bills, which are .proposed, are merely one indication of the type of meddling in state affairs which the present day powers wish to cram down South ern throats. The meddling and pub lic utterances of private individuals and agencies regarding the South’s racial questions (and we do not call' them problems) are other trends. But the message carried by “When' For the Truth” is as good in 1950 asi it was in 1876. It includes the be-j lief that no outside power can compel | white Southerners to abandon the i political philosophy of their ances- * tors and that the South (whites and [ negroes) can best solve its racial i question without outside interference or influence. ’—-**—— — Mr. Jacobs has done an excellent job with his plot. His main character 1 is Phil Sherman Barlow, a cousin of General Sherman, who is sent to i South Carolina to learn of the true conditions here and so advise the general. Although Phil had been slightly -tempered in his beliefs by ! the kindness received when he was, ill in Charleston during the War Be tween the States, he still held his ■ Northern viewpoint concerning the ■ question of slavery. While the book does nqt_attempt to condone slavery-r ft^cloes - show how Phil is changed; to a champion of the fight against Carpetbagger rule. The e are four major women char acters (in the end it turns out that there are only three) in the book, J>ut the male characters include F. W .Dawson, then editor of The News and Courier; R. B. Rhett, Jr., then editor of the Journal of Commerce; Perry Creston, an aristocratic Char lestonian and editor of The Chron icle; Wade Hampton, General Gary, of Edgefield, and a host of minor character, black and white. While the main locale of the plot is Charleston and its vicinity, much of the action takes place in Colleton , county, Beaufort, Columbia, New berry, Laurens, Edgefield and Aiken. Mr. Jacofis had added a valuable volume to the state’s Caroliniana. His book gives a vivid picture of the times and the background of the day. Our only criticism is that Mr: Jacobs tgnds to be repetitious in his expounding of political views through the mouths of his characters and there are some mechanical defects in a few of their actions. On the whole, Mr. Jacobs has pre sented as true and interesting a sto ry of the time of the Carpetbaggers as could be written in fiction. That part which is fictionalized is easily recognized. The rest is meat for his torians. "When For the Truth” is available locally at Sadler-Owens Pharmacy. of the few, -become so readily avail able for anyone.

Isaac Copeland, then the college librarian, saw the needs for books for boys and girls. He enlisted the support of the Ki- wanis club, whose annual contribu tions were soon crowding several shelves with books for children. Later the Parent-Teacher association felt the necessity of a regular children’s department, and through their ef forts furnished a special room and secured a librarian through the of fices of the Laurens county library. The association raised sufficient funds to provide an adequate flow of books for some time to come. Never before have so many com petent writers written especially for children and young people.

Walker, Evans and Cogswell Co., Charles ton, 587 pages, including appendix. $3.75. By F.K.M. In News and Courier. As timely as a meal, as authentic as any historical novel can be, and as localized as are Charleston’s well known street criers is Thornwell Ja cob’s “When For the Tjuth”, a story of the days when South Carolina, “the prostrate state’*, led by well- remembered patriots, fought off the grafting and greedy rule of the car petbaggers, scalawags, radicals and misled neigroes during 1876. While Mr. Jacobs’ work shows the results of thorough and exhaustive study of those times, he has inte grated into what might have been a dull, completely “historical” and bor ing work a tender, often passionate, love interest which should make the message the plot carries easily di gested and the events of the times more easily remembered. "When For the Truth” is dedicated to "Little Billy Ball Who Did His Best to Keep Wade Hampton’s Hat Safe, and to Big Billy Ball, Who for Sixty Years Has Led South Carolina i/i Keeping Wade Hampton’s State Safe”.

April 5-6 7ECHH,Ci f A UNIVERSAIINTERNATIOMI PICTURE w There is plenty of hard work and long hours in the retail gro cery business and this is especially true for Paul Earnhardt, 816 South Church St., in Salisbury, N. C. Mr. Earnhardt works long hours at the Earnhardt Super Market in Salisbury, one of the largest and most modern grocery stores in that thriving section of North Carolina. The grind began to tell on Mr. Earnhardt about three months ago and he wondered for a time whether he would be able to carry on at the same rigid pace. But that was before he heard the blessed news about HADA- COL. “I have been taking HADACOL for three months,” said Mr. Earn hardt. “I was weak, run down, nervous, had difficulty sleeping at night, nervous indigestion, gastric disturb- ain c e s, head aches, suffered with stomach bloating and gas pains around - my heart. After the Mr. Earnhardt third bottle, I started gaining weight, had no gastric disturb ances, headaches or gas pains. I never felt better and work long hours. I recommend HADACOL. Mr. Earnhardt, like so many thousands of other suffering peo pie, had tried many preparations without beneficial results before he Itfard the wonderful news aboutHADACOL. Mr. Earnhardt puts m long, hard hours at the Earnhardt Grocery store now but is again his usual cheerful self and when his friends comment on his im provement he advises them to give HADACOL a triaL Mr. Earnhardt was suffering from a lack of B Vitamins and the Minerals which HADACOL contains. HADACOL comes to ou in liquid form, easily assimi- ated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. I A lack of only a small amount of the B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive dis turbances . . . Your food will not agree with you ... You will suffer from heartburns, gas pains, and your food will sour on your stomach, and you will not be able to eat the things you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from con stipation. And while these symp toms mav be the results of other causes, they are surely and cer tainly the symptoms and signs of the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals which HADACOL con tains. And if you suffer from such a disorder, there is no known cure except the administration of the Vitamins and the Minerals which your system lacks. HADACOL contains not only one, but 5 of the B Vitamins. HADACOL contains not only one, but 4 of the necessary Minerals. It comes to you in liquid form, easily assimilated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. It is easy to understand, there fore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amaz ing tonic, HADACOL So it mat ters not how old you are or who you are ... it matters not where you live or if you have tried all the medicines under the sun, give this wonderful preparation, HADACOL. a trial. Don’t go on suffering. Don’t continue to lead a miserable life. Be fair to your self. Temporary relief is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial. Accept no substitute. . Insist on the genuine HADA COL. Sold at all the leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money—buy the large fam ily and hospital size—only $3.50. We are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that we sell HADACOL on a money- back guarantee.
