_ Thursday, March 14, 1957 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pact Niaa ■ 0 Hi TO LEAD CAMPAIGN FOR COLLEGE These two prominent Presbyterians of Piedmont Presbytery are serving as leaders of the presbytery campaign to raise (49,500 for Presbyterian College within the next few weeks. Co-chairmen of this final drive in PC’s two-state Diamond Jubilee Development program are, left to right: the Bev. W. McLeod Fr amp ton, pastor of Anderson’s Central Presbyterian Church; and Douglas Mc- Dougald, Anderson business and civic leader. Comments On Men and Things By SPECTATOR - 'in passing, let me say a word about s?me leaders in business: Wherever you go in this state and talk about business someone will mention B. M. Edwards. Mr. Ed wards is one of the most extraor dinary men in America. I am not covering too much ground; he de-- vised some programs of great im portance for the Treasury Depart ment; he is chairman of a vast company of thirty banks and Ws judgment/ is relied upon implic itly, even to the number of feet of lumber that can be sawed from a thousand acres of timber. That is a side issue, but his judgment is amazing. Mr. S. C. McMeekin is another exceptional man—a great builder artd a great manager. ' , Look at his record as President of the South Carolina Electric and Gas company; in ten years $100,000,000—fresh capital invest ed in our state, and other millions froun other sources. This is the greatest South Caro lina enterprise and it is flourish ing undef the genius and vision of a very extraordinary leader and manager. • • * Here is something I saw in The The Clinton Chronicle: ‘ . “One thousand, five hundred and eighty employees of Joanna Cotton Mills Company will par ticipate in this year’s wage divi dend of $222,000 which will be paid Friday, the 25th, according to an announcement yesterday by Walter Regnery, vice-presi dent arid general manager. “This represents an increase of 14'i. over last year’s bonus of $104,000. Expressed as an aver age per person participating it amounts to $140.50 as compared with* last year’s average of $129. “This is the 19th annual wage dividend paid to employees of the company since th'e share in- the profits plah was instituted in 1937 by the late W H. Regnery. There has been only one year in which no dividend was paid due to lack of profits. The cumulative total of wage dividends over the 20- year period is $2,995,760. The figure this year of $222,- 000 is the fifth highest in the his tory of the plan' and the largest bonus since 1952.” That is very remarkable, isn't it? I have mentioned many times my great reverence for.the mem ory of thfft princely gentleman, the late William H. Regnery, the lad from Iowa who became the banker and industrialist of Chi cago, and in his prime he bought the Joanna Mills, then of Gold- ville, now Joanna It was a great day when Mr Regnepy, in association with Wil liam A Moorhead, assumed con trol of Joanna. I have known many extraor dinary men; I shall always re vere the memory of my great friend, Mr Regnery. It is of the present manager 1 would speak — Walter Regnery He is as like his great father as anyone could be. Mr. Walter Regnery is so quiet, modest and retiring that few' out side of. Joanna know’ him intf- mately. I know him as a splen did genetleman, but I will tell something of him as a great man- 'ager. When Mr Regnery came to Joanna Mr. Moorhead consulted him about the problem of a lot of waste. Mr. Moof-head told me w’fth great pride how Mr. Reg nery solved the problem and turned the waste into profitable I use. That has characterized Mr 1 Regnery: when the textile busi ness seemed to lag and drag he made such dispositions as to as sure steady markets, steady em ployment fbr his people; and even j the unbroken bonus practice which is a great tribute to great management' j Mr. Walter Regnery has enlarg ed the great plant and has proved himself one of the most versatile textile operators of the nation L do not exaggerate when I call him a ; genius of practicability. It gives me profound satisfac- iton to find so much in our state 'iha't commands the highest praise; in fact. I’m proud to tell our people about our good for ; 1 tu.ne.
