NOT BY WAR ALONE
It is widely heard today that the U.S. is
“overextended” through out the world. The
implication is that we should be less ag
gressive in trying to maintain peace . . .
that we should “pull in our horns”. It is
recommended by one school of internation
al thought that we should draw the line as to
what parts of the earth we would defend
and what sections we would be willing to
let drop.
Recently it has been touch and ga
whether the Administration should call up
the reserves to increase pressure on the
Viet Cong. Widespread use of the National
Guard to contain mass violence in our cit
ies, however, has led to even stronger de
mands that we keep our reserves at home.
Pleas are made not to let th<v “home front”
go unprotected. These developments point
up one of the greatest lessons of history: It
is not by war alone that nations are beaten
In Greek mythology, the Muses were the
nine goddesses of song and poetry and the arts
and sciences. They were Calliope, epic poetry;
Clio, history; Euterpe, lyric poetry; Melpomene,
tragedy; Terpischore, dance and song; Erato,
love poetry; Polyphmynia, sacred song; Urania,
astronomy; and Thalia, comedy.
A temple of the Muses was called a “muse
um” (of the Muses), hence a place of study.
Later, the name was applied to a place that
housed objects of interest in the arts and sci
ences.

When on a recent vacation
I found a news item saying
that Harry R. Thurmond was
calling for every historical
in South Carolina, planning to
publish them in book form as
a sort of index to the history
of the state, I clipped the no
tice with joy at finding some
body to help get Laurens
County “markered.” Back
home, I promptly called Mr.
Thurmond to congratulate
him and ask a feVv questions.
Had he sent his signed let
ter to every newspaper in
South Carolina? He had. Had
he set a deadline for publica
tion? I was afraid Laurens
had only one marker, and it
badly vandalized; could he
give this letter writer a few
more weeks to try to get her
county moving?
Then came the shock: Mr.
Lee of the Archives had won
dered if a book might not
“throw cold water” on the
whole effort to attract tourist-
students to see South Caro
lina for themselves?
Mr. Lee is a wise and thor
oughly competent archivist.
Maybe people would skim the
book rather than go see for
themselves as Mr. Thurmond
had in mind.
This column has no desire
to get into a dispute between
an Edgefield patriot and the
State Archivist; in fact, there
seems to be no dispute. But
here’s our chance. Let’s sup
port both sides of that hypo
thetical dispute, at least until
one or the other prevails.
Let’s get oh with the marking
before every other county
gets ahead of us.
The only way to get started
is to start. I hereby start with
Langston Church, with the
following marker: (Mr. Thur
mond specified several de
tails, some of which would
not be necesary except for a
book.)
“Langston Church—Oldest
Baptist church in Laurens
County, established about
1773. First called Upper Dun
can’s Creek, renamed in
memory of Dicey Langston’s
father, here, Co. F, 14th South
Carolina Volunteers, Confed
erate Army, • organized Au
gust 10, 1861. Annual .reunion
as lohg as vetefpns lived, on
August 19 in the church
grove.”
Such a marker could be
made at little cost in time or
money by anybody handy
with a saw, hammer, nails
and a paint brush.
Where’s our Historic Pres-
e r v a t i o n Commission? I
thought its first small action
was to be marking of historic
sites of national interest. I
sent in, by request, my list
of seven places that should
have wide interest, but I’ve
heard nothing further. We
ought not to need, or wait for,
encouragement from the
Commission; history is ev
erybody’s business, every-
body’s pride.
Where’s the N. S. D. A. R:?
Weren’t there two chapters in
Laurens and one in Clinton?
I know the Clinton chapter,
now defunct, marked the
Musgrove’s Mill site. Mr.
Thurmond recalled .that
marker and agreed that it
had been vandalized.
Where’s the U. D. C.?
Wouldn’t the Langston Church
marker be a wonderful proj
ect? And where were other
Laurens County U. S. V. com
panies organized? James
