THE CLINTON CHRONICLE

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.
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward info battle,
Bee, Mis banners got
At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
0« then, Christian soldiers.
On to victory!

At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
«Loud your anthems raise.
and
kept on writing. 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. . . .

economy is overlooked or ignor

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-

It is, therefore, unfair, eco

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. I ture generations of fanners, will

A box car full* of matches!
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.

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.
The frequency with which the
essential role of profits in our
