> t Tkvnjay; September 9,1954 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE 2A Humn Js Burn, ^ iBY CLINT J BONNER Onward, Christian Soldiers Of a half century’s writing, an author ik remembered for one nights work DarlBf th« week days the Rev Sabine Raring- Gould mlnlatered to his tittle congregation at the mill town of Horbury, England. On Sundays he converted his bachelor quarters into a meeting house. At night he held school In the same room After school he retired to his upstairs bedroom and wrote Into the smull hours of morning Whitmonday was a day of festival for the chil dren of Horbury. And it was custom for them to march, witn crosses and banners, to a neigh boring town to Join other children for the an nual celebration. For the event in 1854 the Rev. Baring-Gould was ssked to escort the group. On the night .befo>« he searched hymnals for a song the children might sing as they marched. Giving up his search, he wrote some verses of his own; wrote them "Hymn for Procession with Cross and Banners” snd went "to bed. That same year the young bachelor saved a mill hand’s dsughter from drowning, sent her away to school, married her in 186S Oatcord, Christian soldiers. Marching as to soar.

At the death of his father, in 1S81. he inherited a fortune, moved into a man sion at Lew Trenchard . . . and kept on writing. For 52 years Baring-Gould wrote a novel a year. He also wrote books on religion, mythology, bl- ographv. travel, folk-lore, theology . . . and pub lished a book of hymns. His "Lives of the Saintaf' alone rovers 15 volumes Yet, he wrote all hia 86 books in long hand and never had a secretary. "I never sail for an inspiratiori." he said, "snd tgben I begin a job I stay on it ’til It's finished."' Had the R*v Baring-Gould lived 28 days more he would have been 90 when he died in 1924. It is nntri the literary catalogue of the British Museum lists more titles hy him than any other author of his time. But Sabine Baring-Gould is beat re membered for a children's marching aong^ he wrote one night when he was 30 . . . and to which a 29-year old organist named Arthar Sullivan net to music in 1871. . . .

It is often and correctly pointed out that production and employ ment are limited by the volume of demand. Yet it is forgotten that the prospect of profit is the active force by which the de mand gives rise to the produc tion and employment. Demand does not create production auto matically. It results in produc tion only when and insofar as it I of firms that have been in busi- promises a market profitable en ough to justify risks, repay costs end attract capital. In a system of free enterprise, it is only through the activating force of profit that the economic needs of ‘Those who prophesy a dark future lor American business should make a note of this: In Philadelphia, Charleston, Cleveland, Baltimore and many smaller communities throughout the country there are hundreds ness more than 100 yean. In Boston alone there are 269 of these companies. ’ And in 1091 New York City awarded certifi cates of merit to 288 firms that had been in business more than 100 yean — and contributed to the city’s industrial vigor all the traditions handed down through the years . . i to promote swmsA bus mess principles, and to use their long experience for the common good.’ Why did these firms y form an organization?

In TheWall Street Journal COMMENTS on MEN AND THINGS What’s the matter with the fanner? When you were a little boy did you ever hear a political orator say "Everything’s agin the fanner”? Well I copy a letter which tells a part of the story. ‘The article, Towerihg Stock piles,’ by Karl Brandt is funda mentally correct in every respect except one. He fails to adopt the correct interpretation of the 90 per cent parity war emer gency legislation. T^ns legisla tion guranteed the farmer a cer tain price for the production of food during the war or the emer gency of war. This guarantee continued until 1964. The war emergency aided in 1993 by an act of the present Administra tion. Whether this legislation was right or wrong, depending upon foresight or hindsight, should not be the financial re sponsibility of the fanner. This 90 per cent parity war legislation was equivalent to a contract between the fanner and the Federal Government. This is the proper interpretation of this war emergency legislation. The fanner fulfilled his part of this contract by creating the present surplus of food. It should be considered war food. War has no for the law of economics. Survival is the all Production in abundance of all war goods is essential in order to survive The Federal Government ful filled its part of this contract by paying the fanner 90 per cent of parity and acceptance of the war food surplus by the Commodity Credit Corporation. The Fedc- eral Government, however, is not now fulfilling its part of this contract for two reasons. First, this war food surplus is even tually dumped into the present trade ^channels of agriculture. This surplus is in competition with the farmer's products cre ated in peace time. This de presses peace time prices. Sec ond, this war food surplus is used to determine parity and acreage' reductions. The effect of these procedures compels fanners to assume the cost of their surplus contribution to ward the successful prosecution of war. Industry and labor, during this same period, also created a sur plus of guns, battleships, and air planes. The American people have paid for this surplus by in creasing the national debt, which will be amortized over several generations. Industry and labor are not compelled to aasume the cost of war surplus created by them- The fanner, and the fu- important law in times of war.

That was the gift to Mr. B. M. Edwards, the eminent banker. Although a great banker Mr Edwards still loves railroads and railroading. So, someone pre pared a small cardboard replica of a box car and filled it with books of matches with “ B. M. Edwards” printed on each book. Recently Mr. Edwards and Mr. John Campbell, top figures of the big banking group, had Franz Witte of Charleston their luncheon guest and let me sit in with them, too. On these occasions Mr. Edwards and Mr. Campbell put aside the problems of finance and credit and swap stories. Our theme at this lunch eon was the tornado of some years ago which struck at widely separated areas, including the Marlboro area where Mr. Ed wards was railroading, jumping from there to North Carolina where Mr. Campbell as a very small boy saw scene of devasta tion. I started this conversation by reporting the mild tornado of two weeks ago, comparing it with reports of the sucking up of fifty-five oaks in Manning in the former tornado. Mr. told of a case in Marlboro in which children were sitting on the floor of a house eating mo lasses and combread. After the lull of the great wind the roof and sides, the back and front of the house were sucked up ana carried away and there sat the children still eating molasses and combread. • • • Do you know the richness and productivity of Anderson, Green wood, Greenville and Spartan burg counties? A magazine of the Piedmont and Northern Rail way tells a story. By the way, if you live outside of those coun ties have you ever heard of the P. & N. Railway? Consider this: ‘Thus, P. & N. land is a six- county area in the Piedmont sec tion of the Carolinas. There are 98 counties in North Carolina that the railroad doesn’t touch and 41 in South Carolina. The P. & N.’s six-county area con tains 3,753 square miles, which is approximately 4 1-2 per cent of the land area of the two states. But, with only 4 1-2 per cent of the area, P. & N. land has, in round figures: 13 per cent of the population 22 per cent of the total family income. 23 per cent of the manufacturing. 27 per cent of the trade. 29 per cent of the total busi ness volume. Furthermore this six-county area has a per espita income of $1,817 as compared with $1,122 for the whole of Carolina. P. & N. land’s per capita income out strips that of all southern states, including the whole of which has the substantial capita income of $1,497. • • • Is the South pre-eminently ag ricultural or is it being rapidly What is business? Most of us are engaged in business, large and small. It is the matter, or means, or method of making our bread and meat, or, perchance ourvitamins—all the A’s, B‘s, C’s, E’s, special liver concentrates, and what not, with calkum, phosphorus, magnesium, potas- sium-rto die Nth power! • • • v I think The Guaranty Survey puts it well: "Buiiness, in the broad sense, is the organized economic life of the people. It is the source of all the necessities, comforts, benefits and satisfactions which are not provided by nature and for which men therefore must work. It is the direct or indirect provider of all incomes, public and private, large and small, whether in commerce and indus try, arts, professions, philanthro pies, or government Aside from the small output by amateurs, everything that is consumed by anyone must first be produced by business. The mainspring that energizes this mechanism is the incentive of profit. In the drive for prof it, business creates jobs, absorbs savings, and pays wages, inter est, and taxes to support govern ment. When the opportunity for profit is adequate, business ac tivity runs high and these va rious types of payments are available in large volume. When the opportunity for profit is re stricted, whether by excessive or one-sided taxation, by hamper ing legal regulations, or by mal adjustments within the business structure itself, the mainspring is weakened. Then the mechan ism slows down, and all forms of income tend to shrink.

Blakely, Jr., and Guy S. Blakely, in the office of the Judge of Probate of Laurens county, at 10 o’clock a. m. and on the same day will apply for a final dis charge from nxy trust as guardian.
