Baptists To Build
New Sanctuary
i
Thankful For
Members of the First Baptist Church,
alert throughout the years to the needs of
an over-gnminf organization, voted last
Sunday to proceed with a building program
to cost an oatteeted $325,000.
A contract was let for a new sanctuary
on a bid of $255,068. A new organ, fur
nishings and other costs will make up the
bahiace of approximately $70,000 for the
project.
The present sanctuary will be demolish
ed and the new building will be construct
ed on the same site at the corner of South
Broad and Centennial "Streets.
Residents of the city of all denomina
tions, we are sure, join in extending con
gratulations to the membership of the
First Baptist Church upon their decision
to erect such a commodious and handsome
structure. A drawing of the proposed build
ing appears on .the front page of The
Chronicle today.
It is of interest to note that the pres
ent sanctuary was built in 1907-08 when
the Rev. Lewis C. Fowler was pastor, and
that Mr. Fowler is still living. He is ac
tive, we hear, at the ripe old age of 90-odd,
and resides in Florida.
Our Good Highways
One has only to travel in other areas to
be thankful for the magnificent highway
system in South Carolina.
We had occasion during the past two
weeks to cross the state from our north
western hill area clear to the northeastern
shore by way of the central portion of the
state.
We were impressed, as we are every
time we go to any part of South Carolina,
with our highway system. The roads are
well engineered, well built, well marked,
and well maintained.
We have come a long way since the
day when South Carolina decided to go into
highway construction in a big way back
during the a<hniniatration of Governor
John G. Richards. There was much op
position to the $60 million dollar hbnd is
sue to start the program. That amount
and many millions more have been spent
since then.
Babton Discusses Advice
For Young Investors
Better still, buy one of the sol
uble fertilisers and apply ac
cording to directions.
Rusty nails might show you
a response only If your soil was
deficient In Iron.
Fulmer says organic residue
such as tea leaves, egg shells,
and ashes might give you better
results If reduced first on a
compost pile. After decomposing
for about a year, and with the
addition of superphosphate, you
you would have an ideal potting
medium for incorporation with
soil.and sand on a 11-1 ratio. Use
this mixture in your flower pots.

Power Finns Offer
To Buy Santee-Cooper
It was announced last week that three
private power companies had offered to
boy South Carolina's near-$100 million
Santee-Cooper power project.
State officials have stated that the of
fer should be considered carefully.
On the surface, it appears that the
state would be getting a good deal in dis
posing of its power generating facility.
Last year, Santee-Cooper paid the five
counties surrounding its two impounded
lakes only $42,156 in lieu of taxes. The
power companies state that the counties
and school districts would receive $1,300,-
000 the first year under their ownership
and operation, and that over a 10-year pe
riod these tax payments would be $18 mil
lion to the five counties.
The state in 1963 received only $227,-
212 from Santee-Cooper. The power com
panies estimate they would pay the state
$900,000 the first year, and a total of $11,-
400,000 over a 10-year period.
No increase in rates charged for power
would be made if the sale is consummated,
it was stated.
The power companies involved are the
South Carolina Electric and Gas Co., Duke
•Power Co., and Carolina Power and Light
Co., the three big oorporatons serving the
state.
Babson Park, Mass., August 5—From time to
time the younger element among my readers
write in asking advice about how to get started
on an investment program. Hence, I would Uke
to devote this column to this group who are just
starting out to build their future. Readers who
are further along in years may also find this
column useful in assisting their children and
grandchildren to start out on a firm footing fi
nancially.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I earnestly beseech young people to use their
heads and not their emotions in financial mat
ters. My first principle, therefore, is to establish
a firm foundation before embarking on building
an investment program. This means acquiring
adequate insurance protection for your family in
case of an accident or illness should result in
your uitimely death. My general recommenda
tion is “straight” life insurance without the ex
pensive frills. t
Of course, home ownership should be an early
consideration. I urgently advise young people
not to over-extend themselves by buying a home
beyond their means. They should, however, en
deavor to locate in a good and growing com
munity so that their home can be a real asset in
yeaihs to come.

Make Hay While the Sun Shines
Hay, the chief winter food of cattle and hones,
is made from grasees and other plants such as clover
and alfalfa.
BUILD UP RE8ERYKS
Sad to say, too many young people are over
anxious to acquire a fortune. In their haste, they
make a few purchases of stocks without first
building up a nest egg of savings. Hence, when
some unforseen emergency arises, they find they
must part with their investments either at a loss
or before the maximum profit potential is real
ized.
Farman must cut their fields while the plants are
still in flower but before seed matures. By doing
this, most of the food matter is retained.
The hay is left in the fields for several days for the
sun to cure it This curing process is necessary to
keep the hay from spoiling after it is stored.
Hay must be harveeted during a period of dry
weather, for rain would ruin it. This is the reason for
the expression “to make hay while the sun shines”—
to make the beet of an opportunity.
My second principle, therefore, is to carefully
build up a savings fund as a reserve against a
rainy day. Many young people today find it
hard to save anything, but sensible budgeting
and steadfast resistance against indiscriminate
spending can produce surprising results. A
gradual but persistent accumulation of savings,
moreover, will rovide you with funds to pick up
good stocks when the market is low. Most in
vestors could achieve greater investment gains
if onlv they had the patience to store up reserves
to invest when bargains appear.

“Time For A Change”
The words of the Chicago Tribune in
hailing the nomination of Senator Gold-
water make just as good sense today
Sf When they were written at the close of
the convention.
“The triumph has been brought about,”
■aid the Tribune editorially, ‘‘by a revolt of
the people—the little man, the represen
tatives of solid substantial common sense,
the uncounted legions of moderate and re
sponsible citizens who are genuinely alarm
ed about the course the country has been
taking.
‘The elderly, the college generation,
the people of every section have enlisted
in this revolt. There can be no doubt that
they are in it for the duration, and that a
profound effort lies ahead to break the
grasp of the dead hand of the past.”
Arlington, Texas, Citizen: “Once there
lived in a village in Old England a boy who
was considered stupid. Men found delight
in offering him the choice between a three
penny bit and a penny. The lad always
chose the penny. One day a stranger ask
ed the boy if he choee the penny because it
nr* niAM. ^ 1
the large piece. *The boy replied, ‘Naw,
not that. If I took the three-penny bit,
they'd quit offering it.’ Those who al-
ways want the biggest for themselves us
ually end up by getting nothing.”
EARNING A LIVING
In times such as this, when the stock market
has had a prolonged rise, it is easy for investors
to expect quick and large profits. All too often
the stock market is viewed as a medium for
supplementing one’s income. I cannot stress
enough that your livelihood and the foundation
for financial Independence lie in the building of a
good career which will produce a higher level
of income over the years.
By and Urge, the wealthy people I have met
in my lifetime did not biuld their fortunes by
speculating in the stock market. Rather, they
speculated on themselves, either by working
hard in their own business or by making them
selves more valuable to their employers. As
their earning capacity grew, they were able to
channel their surplus funds into wise investments
and thus compound their financial progress.
INVESTING VERSUS TRADING
Most readers lack the training, experience,
temperament, and time to make a success of
trading in the stock market. On a short-swing
basis, it is difficult to spot the turning point of
the market and of individual stocks and to “pick
winners.’’ The average investor attempting to
trade the market will more often than not find
himself kicking up a lot of dust but making little
real progress. Certainly, buying on margin and
selling short art not for the average investor!
My advice, therefore, is to adopt the long-
range approach and put your hard-earned mon
ey to work by investing in sound growing indus
tries and companies. This especially applies to
young investors, who have the advantage of a
long life span ahead of them. They should allow
time and the growth of the economy to work for
them By gradually purchasing a few shares of
stocks now and again, particularly when the
market is flat on its back, it is possible to build
up a portfolio which can eventually show satis
factory growth. This requires patience, persist
ence. and courage, but the rewards are well
worth the effort.
In a recent article by Heloise
Cruse It was suggested that such
things as tobacco ashes, rusty
nails, egg shells, and used tea
leaves might be beneficial as
plant nutrients for house plants.
My curiosity was aroused as
to what these things would con
tain.
I asked Dr. H. O. Wheeler of
the College of Agriculture’s Food
Science and Biochemistry De
partment to help give you the
composition of the suggested
plant food additives.
Skipping over, for the time be
ing, the quantity and ratio of
nutrients needed by plants, Dr.
Wheeler says all the things men
tioned contained plant nutrients.
However, most of them are in
complete or out of balance inso
far as perfect fertilizers are con
cerned.
Used tea leaves, for instance,
contain nitrogen, potassium, and
sulfur in rather abundant quan
tities. Also to be found are traces
of iron, copper, and calcium.
The pH of used tea leaves
ranges from 5 to 0 generally, and
might be considered okay from
this standpoint since many plants
require moderately acid media.
Egg shells are M per cent cal
cium carbonate. There is about
one I per cent magnesium carbon
ate and about one per cent phos
phorus pentoxide. Organic mat
ter, resumably containing nitro
gen, runs to about 4 per cent.
Calcium, magnesium, phospho
rus and nitrogen are all plant
nutrients.
I don’t wish to discourage the
use of materials—which we fin
ally reduced to inorganic form-
may contain plant nutrients.
Many of us are conservationists
at heart.
i ■
However, J. P. Fulmer, Clem-
son ornamental horticulturist,
says the “danger” in using these
home remedies for plant food is
that the home owner may come
to depend on them exclusively.
In addition, some home owners
might expect to see a response
within a few days. This is not
likely to be the case.
Most organic materials must
be broken down into simple in
organic compounds, usually by
incoporation into the soil and
the resulting action of organic
acids or oxidation. This takes
time.
Another disadvantage of or
ganic materials as an only
source of plant food is that they
are not properly balanced; that
is, the plant food elements do not
occur in ratios most suitable for
plant growth.
For this reason, it would be
desirable to use a “balanced”
fertilizer; one containing a ap
proved ratio of nitrogen, phos
phorous, and potasium. Soaking
a teaspoon of 6-13-13 fertiliser in
water, stirring, and watering the
house lants with it might give a
quicker and more satisfactory
response.
