BOOK REVIEW
Jacobs's Novel Is
Valuable Addition
To Caroliniana.
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. Love of reading, one
of life’s choicest satisfactions, , is
caught early or perhaps not at all. A

and girls just a few blocks away.

FOR OFFICE SUPPLIES
Children's Library
Community Asset j
(By Mrs. James Gray)
Beginning with the stocking of Boy
Scout manuals, 1 J. 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. Never be
fore have books, once the possession

"When For the Truth”, a novel of
Reconstruction Days in South Caro
lina, by Thornwell Jacobs. 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”. The dedication is an apt one.

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. If you don’t feel
perfectly satisfied after using
HADACOL as directed, just re
turn the empty carton and your
money will be cheerfully refund
ed. Nothing could be fairer.
