Friday, March 14, 1941 ALBERT MASON GRI8T 1 From Yorkvlllo Knqutror) Carrying on the tradition of his fiunlly.lt was natural that Albert I Mason (Irlai should give his entire Wo | ;m.I Y<"Kyll^> Ki.'Hllr_ or with which ho was connoted cor ?,oio than half a century. When but a Utile lad. ho was put to woik tairyiliK papers. sweeping the ofllcu. learnmi; to set t> P". teed the press and do the hundred and one other things that . a. country newspaper |iiuM had to u Ihs older brothers wofe iralilt?<1 that way.

It was "aim a him UulUI wit. hi- ?.lKli?H? ?ml.l l.m to make. The Kn.,wirer a In. ?.1 ? J paper from Issue to issue. It was his Joy to Increase its sphere of use ib ness and Influence... As foreman, n the mechanical end he did a. good Job, As editor of the newspaper for 'he pas Hi years he gave of Ids best, day in and day out Nights too \ man <>r linn conviction. ho had the courago of those oonvlctiions At a? times he stood for that which was hlKhost and noblest and best as in | saw Mt.

As editor of The Knqulrer he bay bis opinions and his views were ? question at Issue otto of Hiiffh h tm jvorliinco to give editorial v.anee. Hut he had no personal ?|tint rel with tho Other Side ' he^u.hjm a or The Kiniulrer w?rr open foi the 1 expression. too. Mis Idea of tho duel or a newspaper was to be . tive. but to he fair. That is the hh a. the doctrine, the religion of t real newspaperman. Ho was wrapped up In the town ami ( j? y(,rk county. Mo knew more of Its history and tradition than any man o, woman of his day, perhaps Hi had j seen the town of Yorkville. now \oik. : .crow from a small hamlet to the considerable town it is Me had coijtributed much to the growth and progress of the community, both personal |y and as a newspaperman Matters religious, fraternal, civic industrial were of vital interest and concern to him. There was not groat- j ,-r religious enthusiast than he, In all countryside Me was Interested not only In the affairs of his own denomination, hut in all churches and chhhIs. Albert (irlst never failed to |,-ml a hand. Me was perhaps the most Influential factor In bringing al>out the establishmeht of Kings Mountain National Mllitary Hark. Me worked for tho proj.vi personally and thru The Knqulrer for years to make It a reality. II.' had served as a member of tho advisory committee of the State Board of Huhllc Welfare; and he gave thoughtful, honest anil wise and valuable counsel in thut capacity. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmi : 1 POLO 18 POPULAR This corner has been visiting tho polo matches In Cumdon for several lyemis now, t>ui never in all that tlino have in- seen him li a <Mowd as lliut of j the past Sunday afternoon The grandstand was packed. tho railings were lined as closely as the !.in-> could lint! mm'h and the earn w'tich sui rounded the todd wero well Wiled.

We well remember last year and a few years hack that you could get u lurking space at tho rail or a good seat in tlie stands almost any time. Hut that isn't trim any more You eplior eoino early or you scramble .for a point of vantage ; And the Camden games are.almost I in variably close. The players are so ! divided th.it the teams ate nearly equal in strength every week and those hoys really got out there and hat t lie Among other things. the Essex Troop team has helped popularity of polo in Camden.

Stilt'.'. j REAL OPPORTUNITY Sooner or later," says Tho York v il e Knquii er. 'the Piedmont coun-I lies of the Carollnas are going to turn to the production of beef and dairy cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, turkeys, j end the like, in real earnest and this area is then going to blossom into j its greatest wealth, prosperity and happiness." We hope The Kuquirer speaks pro- i plietiv all). Certainly lltu opportunity is here and tho challenge. Every year South Carolinians send tens of millions of dollars out of tho state for meats, dairy products and other foods that could be. and should be produced right here at home.?

The Hamburg Herald expresses the opinion that something Is wrong when there are 11 ftoon rayon mills in tho1 Southern states, none of them in South Carolina It looks as if South Carolina is Indifferent to industry.

When an editor writes "IP)" 011 an article that means! j that all the copy is In and the print-] [ ers may make ready to go to press, i And so since "30" rattle to him Sunj day morning and the Editor-in-Chief ! t ailed him for other duties, wo, his co-workers on The Enquirer, who lovo the paper like he did. and who are Inspired by his long example of fidelity and loyalty, have the feeling and tho thought that he is happy and smiling and serene and comfortably sltuato In that place beyond the skies to which not only all good newspaper workers, but all good people aspire. In signing "30" for Albert Mason Grist whose memory will live on, ft may be said of hint: ' He had his faith; One dead sure thing And he lived it, too. And Christ up yonder Loves men who are true.

Mr. Speaker, it is my sad responsibility to | announce to tho members of the house the death of Gutzon Borglum, sculptor. artist, orator, patriot, truly one of the ureat characters of our time, one of the great men of all time. Mr. Borglum passed away in a hospital in Chicago this morning. His colossal work, the meat American Memorial on Mount Uushjnore, In South Dakota, for I which the congress has appropriate^!, will probably be completed much as ho hoped to have it done. The heads are practically completed now?the heads of George Washington. Thomas ! Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln. and Theodore Roosevelt. But this is not the time to dwell on that; I am thinking of Gutzon Borglum as a friend, as a man. as a life. The inspiration of his life and the inspiration of his great work will remain forever, especially fn those who have known something of his struggle to complete it. Those heads on Rushmore. the I/eo head at Stone Mountain. the Lincoln head in the rotunda of the Capitol, th^ figure of a former member of this house. Mr. Green way, of Arizona, In Statuary Hall, the horse and the general In Sheridan Circle, the War Memorial in Newark, and tho Woodrow Wilson statue in Poland will speak for his work as long as they shall last/ and Rushmore for all time will, as he wished, "tell men what manner of man gave birth and form to I the American Republic." Gutzon Borglum had the ability to I make marble, bronze, and granite express the souls of men: and I have taken this minute at the opening of today's session to pay tribute to his i memory.

A C. guard and captain, "Hobby" Jenkins, won the coveted South Carolina Athletic Confernce basketball tournament held at Booker T. Washington high school, Columbia, S. C., March 7 and 8. In the semi-finals, the Eagles won from Booker Washington, 29-26, while in the finals they beat Harbison, 39-31. 0 Stovfll was high scorSr in this game with U points. Outstanding for HnrRisou was Foster, who was also high scorer of the tournament with 68 points. In the Burke game. Russell made 9 out of It foul shots. The scores of the game were 25-28 in favor of Mather. The first game was played between Mather and Jackson, the scores being 11-11 at the hair. The final scores were 35-19 in favor of Mather. BAN FIREWORKS Banning fireworks by Jaw may be the only solution to this custom which seems so deeply Ingrained in the South along about the Christmas holiday season?the one least appropriate for such uproar, confusion and nerve racking noises and explosions. Maybe some South Carolina legislator could sponsor such a bill at the present session and make it statewide instead of being confined to one countiy. A legal ban on fireworks, either for the gloripus Fourth or Christmas should work no detriment to the spirit of patriotism nor the hilarity of displaying it. On the other hand it would eliminate possibility of recurring tragedies, injuries and accidents to human beings and destruction of property as well.?Spartanburg Journ| ?' _ Lawyers Get Large Verdict The largest cash verdict ever awarded In a damage suit in Chesterfield County was won by Attorneys Hunlev and I>eppard recently, when their client was awarded by consent judgment $16,000 .1 E Redfearn had brought suit against F.
