THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Pace Severn
The governing powers of our
state are alert to the urgent need
to encourage industry in South
Carolina. Undoubtedly the lead
ers are studying our laws so that
no law shall stand in the way of
our development. I hope they may
consider every factor tor a half
billion dollars in new industries
and in- development of those we
now have and fully, appreciate
would mean infinitely more for
our people*and all units .of gov
ernment tnan the possible loss of
a few dollars at this moment. In
other words, just as businessmen
invest millions, looking to the fu
ture, so may our state wisely re
move any barriers we now have
so that, like an investment, it may
bring forth abundant fruit in time.
One thing that I’ve heard of
(and there may be others) is that
a company from North Carolina or
Georgia may deliver power to en
terprises in South Carolina with
out paying the same taxes paid
by a South Carolina company. I’m
sure no one means to do harm to
our South Carolina electric power
businees, but our own people have
to compete under adverse condi
tions with our neighboring states.
We must bring hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to this state and
we must be ready to compete in
dollars and cents to do that.
is the opinion of Governor Tim
merman, as quoted by the dhily
papers. What is “inte

That is a long story but l4t ui re
fresh our memories. Quoting free
ly and at length from Henry Wil
liam Elson, of Philadelphia, one
of the most readable historians:
(and T should say here that he
makes special acknowledgement
to eminent scholars of New York
and Pennsylvania (and no South
erner).
Let us g€;t a start by re-stating
foundational facts: '
“The governments of the na
tion aqd of the state differ in two
important respects. 1. The powers
of the nation are delegated pow
ers, and did not exist before the
was formed in 17i89; while
rs of the state are in
herent and date back* to' colonial
times. 2. The federal government
has no power beyond that which
is given it in the Constitution, that
which affects, the whole people;
'while a state has absolute power
over its own people and Ks own
territory, except, of course, that
which is delegated to the nation.
It is true a state is forbidden a
few things by the Federal Consti-
tion, such as granting titles of no-
tibility. passing ex post facto laws,
adopting other than a republican
fonn of government, denying a
man the right to vote on account
of race or color, and the like; but
aside from these and a few others
a State has absolute control over
its own affairs.
States’ Rights are as sacred and
inviolable as National rights; and

the Nation has no more authority
to overthrow the State govern
ments or to encroach upon States’
Rights, beyond that granted by the
Constitution, than the States have
to overthrow its authority. In
either case it would be revolution.
A State/ therefore, is independ
ent of the Federal Government in
its own. domain, nor does it derive
to power from the latter; but the
moment it gets beyond its own
boundary its authority ceases, and
it comes in contort with Federal
authority. In fart, a State has no
power whatever beyond its own
bounds. It cannot even pursue and
bring back an escaped criminal,
from another state without Na
tional authority! 1 it cannot deny to
citizens from another State the
privileges and immunities extend
ed to its own citizens.
The .General Government; it
has real authority over the whole
people, but thqt authority is limit
ed, is delegated, and exists only by
the virtue of a written bond.
The power of the States comes
down to us from colonial dayg, the
State constitutions being but mod
ifications o{ the royal charters,
while the powers of the Federal
"Government, though conferred at
a later date, were nevertheless
necessary.
On the other hand, a unified,
consolidated government would be
equally impossible. The country is
too vast, and the people too well
educated and too independent and
jealous of their liberties to sub
mit to any central, all-pervading
authority, or to permit their local
affairs to be managed by other
hands than their own. . '
fie it remembered that only a
part of the vast power of the peo
ple hac been delegatd to Hie Gen
eral Government^
. (Every true-hearted American
who studies this intricate problem,
the relation of the States and the
Nation, will plainly see that the
hand of Providence has been over
it all, and while he will rejoice in
our grand and glorious Union, he
wil Itoke scarcely less pride in
States’ Rights, the great palladium
of our liberty.
Before the close of the year
1796, and while the obnoxious
Alien and Sedition laws were still
in force, and Kentucky legislature
passed a series of resolutions se
verely condemning the Alien and
Sedition Laws. A few weeks later
the legislature of Virginia adopt
ed a series of very similar resolu
tions, but somewht milder in tone.
These expressions from these two
legislative bodies attracted much
attention and became famous in
American history. It was not
known at the time who wrote
them; but it was found many years
afterwards that Thomas Jeffersbn
was the author of the Kentucky
Resolutions, and James Madison of
the Virginia Resolutions.
The Virginia Resolutions were
eight in number. They declared if
Congress enacted laws that were
unconstitutional, it was the right
and duty of. the States to inter
pose and arrest the progress of the
evil
South Carolina made much of
these resolutions, fathered by the
great Jefferson, the Democratic
idol, when adopting her Nullifica
tion Ordinance in 1832. The school
o fthe Souther^ statesmen, led by
Calhoun, base fitheir doctrine of
States sovereignty, largely on the
same ground.” I
In 1914 the Legislature of Mass
achusetts called a convention of
New England States. That Hart
ford Convention.declared:
"That acts of Congress in viola
tion of the Constitution are abso
lutely ' void,” and 'that the “states
which have .no common umpire
must be their own judges and exe
cute their own decisions”.

Notes
By J. B. O'DELL
Conservationist
The casual reader may think
that all this is mere verb^ge, but
a hundred years is but a short
time in the life of a nation. If Mr.
RoosevelLcould twist and subvert
the Constitution; and if the pres
ent Supreme Court can so readily
disregard established judicial de
cisions of long standing and base
its decision on books, pamphlets,
theories, htynotheses, giving all
this extraneous stuff, the force ot
law, surely then the moment is
opportune for a fresh study of the
foundations of our American Con
stitutional government, with its
checks and balances and its dis
tribution of powers so that nation
al development need not b&
brought about by an encroachment
on the prerogatives of the States.
The case at bar is not exclusive
ly a racial question, but the far
broader consideration of the pro
per distribution of powers.

10 POINTS
, ^
for
Advertising
I
The South Carolina State Chamber of Commerce has
forwarded to retail merchants and others in its member
ship throughout the State 'TEN POINTS FOR NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING" which have brought a high measure of suc
cess, prosperity and profit to a big retailer who spends a large
portion of his adrertising appropriation in good newspaper
copy.
THE RETAILER'S 10 POINTS ARE:
1. Advertise ’regularly. Every Issue of the paper-tikes
my story to Its readers.
. >• i
2. I make every ad look like mine. Years ago I adopted
a distinctive style and have stuck to it. I use plenty
of white space; my adi are never hard to read.
3. I pat into newspaper advertising a definite proportion
i - of my gross sales. I fix this at the beginning of the
year. My rule is to make H 3 per cent of the previous
year's gross, with more if special conditions justify it.
* * . *
.4, I brighten my ads with frequent illustrations—-either
/ ~ humorous or practicaL
5. I am careful never to over-emphasize. When I make
rlalma, I back them up with reasons. Then when I
really have an unusual bargain people believe me when
I “whoop 'er up a little.'*
6. I think advertising all the time. I bay goods that will
advertise well.
* • *
7. I get good display for my ada by seeing that the
copy is in the newspaper office in plenty of time. I
do this by having a definite hour to write the copy.
8. Whenever possible, I carry nationally advertised
goods that are advertised in my home paper. I fea
ture them. Sometimes they giro me a smaller mar
gin than fly-by-night concerns, but I find that I atfl
, faster and make more money in the end, besides
’ pleasing more customers.
9. I always plan my window and counter displays to
link up with my newspaper advertising. Each helps
the other.
♦ <7
10. My salespeople back up my advertising. They often
help with suggestions for it, and I try to see to it
that they always read it. 1
