This is a plan, we think, which will be widely used by qualified industries planning to establish plants in this state. It provides a ready-made source for financing new and expanding plants with the help of the credit of the various political subdivisions of the state. • The act passed last spring by the (Gleneral Assembly allows each of South Carolina’s 46 counties to apply to the state fiscal authority for approval to issue revenue bonds which are free of federal taxation and allow fatorable interest rates. Approval is based on , ^ ^ the corporation’s financial history and Baboons Point of\ie« On: lature’s far-sighted action before : it, have given the state a new and formi dable weapon in the increasingly hot battle among Southern states for new industry.” State Development Board Director J. D. Little, Jr., reflected McNair’s ap proval, adding ‘‘we are extremely happy that we now have the ability to combat the tight money situation which exists nationally, and can offer to in dustry a possible solution to its major money problems.” Little said a number of industrial prospects had already investigated the state’s revenue bond financing pro gram, and were awaiting the Supreme Court decision. ), w Youth Wants to Know By RANDY tffelFrmi Some people get the idea Which case the domical ** «<* £ that their friends come from of it all is that your friends ca(|W yotf they WMl idea) families.

OUR 1967 FORECAST Babsofl Park. Mass., July 6. Here in the northeast terrier of the U. S., we frequently warn that it is not wise to “review the bid ” But then, we know that there; is always an *'antidote”'for-every aphorism.’So owe coun ter with: “Confession Is good for the soul.* And that is precisely what we plan to do today. . .at the midway mark oof 1967.

Governor Robert E. McNair, when notified of the Supreme Court’s action, said, ‘T am much encouraged that Spilth Carolina can now compete with other progressive states in this vital area of economic develpoment. In my opinion the court’s action and the legis- Stories Behind Words Precedent To Be Feared The editor of the Asheville, North rolina, Cltlkten has reported one of disturbing federal business that has come along yet. that the Office of Economic has provided a grant of $179,00(UM Community Action, Inc., of Boone, N. C., to publish a weekly news paper and distribute it free to every body in four counties “. . . including those who can’t read.” Weekly news, papers in the area already cover com munity news. The Asheville Citizen comments that, “If the OEO can publish a week ly newspaper in Northwest North Caro lina . . . Washington can . . . develop gradually, insidiously — a federal press, financed by taxpayers’ money and telling the American people only what it wants them to hear. That is not likely? No, it is not likely. It is still possible. That is the prime tactic of dictatorship, with, a controlled press the main tool.” This is an intolerable precedent in a nation where individual liberty depends to such a great extent upon the independence and freedom of expression of thousands of weekly and daily newspapers. Their role as the public conscience and watchdog of government is absolutely irreplaceable. FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTS STEAL THE SHOW As 1960 ended, We warned that “the great est danger for ihe year ahead does not exist on the domestic.” Throughout the first half of 1967 the direst developments surely have been in the military and political areas abroad. As all eyes were firmly fixed on the increasingly bloodyconflict in Vietnam, the Middle East burst into flame. G. A. Nasser of Egypt, egged on by the trouble makers in Moscow and surfeited with Russian armament, screamed for a “holy war” to wipe aut Israel. But his zeal soon cooled, as did Goliath’s when David moved resolutely forth to meet the Tlanger. As we review the events of recent weeks we recall our December statement: “HeaVily armed with Soviet weapons, the Arabs of the Middle East — squared off against Is rael — present a grove threat to world peace.” By William S. Pepfleld Apprentice It was once a custom in European countries for a man to place his son with a skilled crafts man for a set number of years. The boy worked for the craftsman and in return received board and clothing. The boy learned a trade that he was free to ply when the set number of years had elapsed." v A boy placed under these conditions was cal led an “apprentice” — a learner — from Old French “aprentis,” which was derived from the Latin “apprendere,” to comprehend, “Apprentice” is now commonly used to refer to any beginner. visitor in your friends’ homes you are probably not treated very formally, but all the same, family honor is main tained, although they may not think about it at all. For example, they are not likely to choose the time of your visit for exposing their strongest disagreements or arguments, except in a light er way, trying to get a strang- et on a certain side. In other words, anything amounting to a quarrel is usually saved for when the family is on its own. The guest tends to go away and sigh and think how won derful this home is, forgetting that the laws of hospitality demand that we “put the best foot forward” when outsiders are present. I’m sure you behave your age when visiting friends. In +■ Telephone Talk By A. R. FERNELL Your Telephone Manager Irene Dillard Elliott Writes .

Once again he met de feat, disastrously in the “Burnside nine” near Peters burg, where he threw into the cratei 1 a company of Negro troops, who were slaughtered by the Confederates.

Back to the first James Burnside again: Mrs. Irwin cites Howe’s History of the Presbyterian Church, Vol. I, p. 526, as authority for call ing Elder Burnside a loyalist, even though a son, Andrew, was evidently a captain m the Revolution. There was bitte'p fighting around the Old Nin ety Six District between Whigs and Tories, family splits occasionally. i And a final quotation from Mrs. Irwin: “General Am brose Everett Burnside popu larized a style of beard—his habit of shaving his chin and allowing whiskers to grow on the sides of his face gave rise to the term ‘burnsides’, which later became ‘sideburns’.” If Gen.

Pitted against the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. Robert E.
