Balance Needed
We think there is much truth in the
statement by an eminent educator, who facilities is serious,
declared: “Our university graduates
have far more information and far less
understanding than in our colonial per
iod.”
There can be little doubt of the fact
that the process of specialization in in
tellectual pursuits has developed consi
derably more detailed information on a
greater number of subjects and that
specific individuals, in their chosen fields
of study, have far more informaion than
was available to the students of preced
ing generations.
We are rather inclined to agree with
the thought that the very process of
specialization prevents an individual
from, developing a balanced perspective,
which is necessary to any comprehensive
understanding of pitman beings, their

Inasmuch^ as human beings must co

PUGHT OF THE STATES
The need of the states for new sources of
revenue to help maintain traditional govern
ment services and to keep abreast of the
expanding need for educational and health
In certain instances, it
is acute. There is some evidence that the 1 '
states themselves have failed to answer* the
new demands placed upon them because of •
inept administration and-or recklessness in
the use of public funds.
Yet the lion’s share of the blame rests
not with state government as such but with
the widespread trend toward paternalism in
government which has spawned a vast and
costly Washington bureaucracy. To support
all this, Uncle Sam now grabs for his own
needs a large part of the total tax dollar,
leaving states and local governments the
short end of the stick.

TO SHARE OR NOT TO SHARE
The idea of Washington’s sharing its tax
with the states is attractive. It is looked
upon as an easy way out, even by many who
are not connected with state governments.
The specific proposal of Rep. William E.
Brock of Tennessee which would direct the
Federal Government to share up to 5% of its
tax revenues with the states, with the pro
vision that the funds be earmarked for edu
cation, has wide appeal and has received*
strong support.
But there are those who see in outright
tax sharing new opportunities for the fed
eral bureaucracy to extend its influence in
the states. Some of these opponents advo
cate, instead, a type of indirect federal sub
Grandfather Clock
The name “grandfather clock” originated in
a song that was popular during the latter part of
the 10th Century.
The song, “Granfather’s Clock,” was written
by Henry Clay Work, an American.' The first
two lines are: *
“My grandfather’s clock was too tall for the
shelf,
“So it stood ninety years on the floor ...” •
Soon, any clock such as that described in the
song was called a “grandfather’s clock.” Later,
the name was shoretened to “grandfather
the name was shortened to “grandfather

Free Press

When the suggestion was made re
cently that the best interest of consu-
mea might be served by more stringent
regulation of advertising, no great im
agination was needed to see the connec
tion between restricted advertising and
press Censorship.
Tne close relationship between ad
vertising and the free press was pre
sented recently by C. B. Dyke, writing
in the Fairmont, N. D., Star. In his
words, the home own newspaper reader
. wants his weekly to tell him about
his friends, goings and comings, births,
weddings, all sorts of local happenings
and the neighborhood gossop . . . But
HELPING THE CITIES
Officials of some of the nation’s larger
cities are among the most articulate oppon
ents of the idea of federal tax sharing. May
or John F. Collins of Boston described the
plan as the most dangerous idea in America
today, the implication being that the states
will not play fair with their larger cities
when they get a tax-sharing windfall from
Uncle Sam.
This points up a serious iniquity which
has handicapped larger cities for some time.
Until the recent Supreme Court decision de
creeing reapportionment of state legisla
tures, city populations had not had adequate
representation. This inequity has been a big
factor in the deterioration of central cities
and in the resulting outgrowth of social
problems.
Sifting evidence on contro
versial subjects is one of the
problems of genealogists and
historians. When authorities
differ, as is the case in two
histories of the Presbyterian
Church in South Carolina
with regard to Little River
and Duncan’s Creek churches
in Laurens County, difficul
ties multiply.
In deciding to recognize
Little River as the older, I re
ly on two sources upon which
genealogists depend; testi
mony of older descendants of
individuals concerned, and
the mule evidence of family
graveyards. One of the first
axioms of genealogical re
search is the well known fact
that, except for established
churches, family burying
can’s Creek has one of the

however, that outright tax sharing would cut
red tape, prune federal government payrolls,,
and curb Uncle Sam’s participation in local
affairs . . . and that it would help restore
the prestige and power of the states. But
chances are that it would also lead to a
higher total tax bite in a nation where fam

largest and oldest church
yards in the county. The late
T. Weir Davis, descended
from most of the Little River
pioneers, was certainly one
of the best, if not the best,
antiquarian in Laurens Coun
ty. He told me several years
ago, and proved to my satis
faction, that Little River was
older.
So, let’s look at Little Riv
er. Accepting the date as
1763, I quote from historians
Bean and Jones: “This church
was organized by the Rev.
James Creswell, who came to
Virginia in his youth from
Ireland, and was ordained by
Hanover Presbytery. He came
to South Carolina and soon
gathered about him a congre
gation near the Laurens and
Newberry lines. The first eld
ers were Colonel (General)
James Williams, who was
killed at the Battle of King’s
Mountain; Angus Campbell,
sion as General.
Can anybody help us with
descendants of Angus Camp
bell and James Burnside? I
know only that the fine family
of Cross Hill Davenports de
scended from Angus Camp
bell; there was a son of that
family named Campbell Dav
enport.I am completely unin
formed about the Burnsides.
Please, somebody, help us
out.
We “live and learn,’’ don’t
we? All my life I’ve heard of
the strife among Presbyteri
ans over the two versions of
The R sal ms,..,those of Rouse
and those of Watts. Congrega-
11 o n s debated, sometimes
split, the Associate Reformed
Presbyterians seceded, get
ting for themselves the nick
name ef Secedere, and estab
lishing the most conservative
of all Presbyterian modies in
the South.
It remained for Dr, Arthur
Martin to set me straight, so
easily that I pass his answer
on. When I asked him what
the quarrels were all about,
he explained that Rouse had
originally set to music for
congregational singing the
exact words of The Psalms;
Watts later triad to make
them more easily sung by in
terpreting. For example, the
majestic Psalm 90, believed
to have been originally “A
Prayer of Moses,” beginning
with the familiar “Lord,
Thou has been our dwelling
place in all generations,” be
comes, in Watts’ version, “O
God our helj) in age* past, our
hope for years to come,” &,
