GOVERNORS
Here is an Interesting 'fact com ern
ing (ho governors of the 1* states.
Seventeen of them w.T-< horn outside
states where they now se(\.. as
rhlor executives; and two of these 1 .
were born outside the I'nited State,
Those two aro Coventor John Mo-es
of North Dakota, a native of Norway,
and C.ovornor Julius Hell of WlsconHln.
a native of Gormany. Tho governors
of Kansas and Vermont were
horn In Illinois-and the governor of
Illinois was born In Indiana.
To South Carolinians it may seem
strange that more than one-third of
Hie governors today aro not natives of
tholr present states. All governors of
South Carolina, except two. and those
In tho pro secession times, have been

WHO ARE MAKING SACRIFICES.
When tho defense program was first
launched, nearly a year ago. much was
siid about tin1' necessity for personal
sacrifice <?> ??*. ',art of ttH < l,izc,lfl>

kind of talk About tho only class of

Labor, working shorter hours and
obtaining more pay than any other
country, through organizations, is taking
advantage of conditions and demanding
more advantages. Does this
show a spirit of sacrlflco? It certainly
is a poor brand of patriotism.
Stories coming out of cities where
t amps and defense projects aro located
toll about constantly Increasing
rents for houses and rooms. This is
evidence that owners of houses and
rooms for rent are not thinking of
making personal sacrifices.

into many selfish groups, each seeking
to get whatever It can for itself Coder

Striving To Abate
Smoke Nuisance
I teed Sarratt. president of tho City j
Uiuudry and Camden I>ry Cleaners,
has addressed tho following communication
entitled "An (>|h.mi I a* tier to
the Mayor and People of Camden":
"Your attention was cabled in a
front-page editorial appearing in The
Camden Chronicle on Friday. March I
21. to the "smoke nulsitncev in Cam-j
den. The reference to the offending
industry, located on Broad Street, In i
the very heart of the business district'
was thinly disguised.
"The. operators of the City Laundry
and Camden Dry Cleaners are the first!
to admit that theirs , is one of tho
offending smokestacks which helps to
create an undesirable condition. The
purpose of this writing is not to en-j
gage The Camden Chronicle in a controversy
about the smoke nuisance; it
Is to put before the people of Camden
the full facts. i
"In Its statement that 'the attention
nf the Mayor has been called to the
nuisance, but he has so far been unable
to get the nuisance abated' The
Chronicle editorial Implied that the
City laundry and Camden Dry (Mean-,
its have bee ft indifferent, oven defiant, j
in their attitude toward the smoke proidem
here This is not the case.
"Approximately one year ago a
representative of the Mayor called the i
laundry's attention, to the volume of!
smoke which issued from its smoke- ,
stack, and asked if something could
be done to abate it. At this time the
laundry agreed to co-operate to the
fullest. One week later I, as president
of the company, called on the
Mayor at liis office. Wo discussed
the mater fully; and. speaking for tho
laundry, I agreed that 1 would do all
1 could to stop the smoke. Immediately
we added 24 feet to the lengtn of
our smokestack. Wo Installed a boiler
twice the size of tlie one we nad
been using and switched from the use
of bituminous coal to wood shavings
us Iul'L isQon after that the laundry
moved its quarters, and an additional
2b feet was added to the smokestack
7 A bout, a month ago a city official
suggested that we install a screen in
our smokestack. An order has been
given for such a screen, and it Will be
installed immediately upon its arrival.
Within the last month our boiler has
been examined, at our own request, by
two experts on such problems. Last
week our combustion chambi r was rebuilt.
completely, and it is estimated
: thai this will i educe the smoke ou'put

THE O'HARA'S
Margaret Mitchell's book and the
picture based upon it have together
served to make millions born since
lSG.'i realize something-of what 'the
war" destroyed in the South. But so
fascinating are the colorful personalities
or Scarlett O'Hara and Rhott
Butler that they quite overshadowed
two characters, who typify a whole
generation in the old South.
Gerald O'Hara and Ills wife were
overtaken by the storm of destruction,
chaos and slow, painful reconstruction
too late In life to survive the stunning
blow. They simply fado away and die
without understanding how a new way
of life could possibly be wrought out.
The master of Tara became mentally
a child, helpless to rebuild anything.
No more intense pathos tugs at the
heart than that which speaks from
the broken old man's utter Inadequacy
to meet the situation.
There were many more overwhelmed
even as Gerald O'Hara was with
complete chaos in the industrial,
financial and social arrangements
throughout the defeated South, men
no longer voung and capable of radical
change in habits of mind and
action could not make the necessary
re-adjustments. They suffered nostalgia
for a way of life that was "gone
with the wind"?a grieving, heartsickness
that paralyzed action. But
they had sons and daughters, who
took.up tlie tremendous task and carried
on somehow until reorganization
and progress were achieved'.?Spartanburg

Twins of world-wide fame were born
yesterday in a farm house near White

weighed about six pounds each.
The father. Robert Bunker, is a
grandson of one of the original twins,
Chang and Kng. who. were buried in
a churchyard at White Plains. The
mother, whose condition the physician
pronounced good, is a native of this
section.
Chang and Kng traveled over the
