Iiruce Harton, author of "The Man Nobody Known," has t oritten this tribute
to Houth Carolina for the "Parade of the States" Monday n iffht proff.ams of
the General Motors Corporation, part of an educational plan to make the
country as a whole better acquainted with the individual states ? their history,
scenic beauty, <>uf ustries and people.
WINTER has gone from tho South Carolina coast; another spring
la passing. Once more the azalea* have bloomed at Magnolia
Gardens, and again to revel in the beauty of their blossoming
come visitors from far and near.
Wise are they who make the pilgrimage, for nowhere Is a lovelier land.
The gardenia was named for a resident of Charleston. The polnsettla
honors thR South Carolinian who brought It from Mexico. The first
camellias that the new world ever saw are blooming yet at Mlddloton
Place. The yellow Jasmine, South Carolina's own state flower, grows
profusely everywhere.
Klowors, Boft breezes, softer speech and courtesy ? no wonder South
Carolina is callod "the comfortable state." Aiken and Camden are winter
colonies that generations have known. Charleston, the old and valiant
city, holds America's richest store of early colonial architecture. Here
one still may enjoy the delights of shrimp plo and rlco and other famous
dishes, in n community that early learned and has never forgotten how
to llvo.
In Charleston harbor Is Sumter, the fort that felt a war's tlrst shock.
Serenely It dreams In the sunlit poace. Here, too, is Moultrie, which the
British could not pass, where victory came to America's arms six days
boforo independence was declared. And up-country Is that other sceno
of victory, Klrfg's Mountain, near Andrew Jackson's birth-place, where
the fortunes of tho Revolution were turned by South Carolina's sons.
One of the original Thirteen States, South Carolina Is rich In history,
yet she is even richer In her pre?;ent. Her factorlos at Spartanburg
and Oreenvllle. at Anderson and Oreenwood, at York and Union, add
millions to her wealth. First of all tho states In the manufacture of
cotton cloth, third In the making of textiles, South Carolina has risen to
rank as third In the generating of hydro-electric power. The dam -of
Lake Murray, near Columbia, impounds, more water than any other In
America; South Carolina rivers ylold the power of more than half n
million horses, and their harnessing Is not yet done.
Yet Hhe Is first of all, what she has been always, a state of friendly
plantations and farms. Tobacco and corn have come to share the
kingdom that once cotton ruled. Her vegetables and fruits contain n
treasure of Iodine; her solh are varied, her lands Inviting. "Prepared
In Spirit and Wealth," Is she, In the words of her own state motto. The
remaining words, "Whllo I breathe, I hope," look backward upon days
that are gone forever and forward to the deeds of her sons who, at the
State University In Columbia, at Clemson College on the homestead farm
of John (5. Calhoun, and at the Citadel In Charleston, are being trained
to carry on.
There Is a welcome for you In South Carolina. There are friendly
faces amid tho smiling flowers. Clo; revel In the blossoms; bathe at the
beaches ; explore the mountains and the fragrant plains. South Carolina
oxtonds the Invitation, and General Motors, carrying It to the nation,
hrlnge back the nation's tribute to the Palmetto State.
