GOOD LUCK GOV. WILUAMS
Governor ^naome Williama, strongly opposed to gam
bling and the liquor evil, is out to increase the tempo of his
attack on these activities, according to a report issued last
week from the executive's office in Columbia.
The Governor says “there wHl be a tighter rein on gam
bling and night liquor sales throughout South Carolina soon.”
“After the beginning of the new fiscal year, when the
new liquor law goes into effect, the constabulary will be en
larged and the men better paid. I’m looking for better serv
ice.
If what we have heard regarding the attitude of the
state executive is an indication of his future activities against
gambling and illicit sale of liquor, there is going to be a lot
of griping and grouching on the part of the gambling and
drinking fraternity.
CAMDEN IS FLATTERED
The Columbia State, in an editorial last week, discusses
the matter of the Columbia police, department maintaining a
downtown police booth. The State would have one where
an officer would be on duty day and night, thus enabling the
public to know where a policeman could be reaclh^ in an
emergency, where strangers could make known th
etc.
wants,
Camden has had a police booth at the poet office cor-
lly - - -
ner for years. It is iHerally the heart of Camden. Newspaper
reporters get the news fresh there. Under the spreading
branches of a nearby tree there is a bench, and on this ben^
at all hours of the day and late into the evening, the town
oracles and brain-trusters hold forth.
If the officer on duty may be out on an emergency call,
were are always volunteer information wizards eager and
willing to give inquiring tourists and motorists information on
any and every matter connected with Camden.
We believe that the City of Columbia would profit by
following the example of Camden and installing a downtown
police information booth. The idea has worked out fine here.
It would do likewise in Columbia.
WHAT IS NEWS?
News, at least, from the standpoint of public interest is
based more or leas upon the way in which the general public
regards it. Newspapers have their own conception as to the
degree of importance a news story may have.
It ail depends upon the individual and his or her per-
spwtive of the importance of the so-called news event Which
brings to the mind of this writer that “people are funny.”
Funny to the extent to which'they regard news importance.
A religious individual would regard a revival meeting as of
greater consequence from the news standpoint than an acci
dent of ^gic proportions.
Which brings to mind an apt illustration of just what
this writer is aiming at—the importance of news to some
people-even to a reporter. We recall an old, old story, one
we first heard some thirty or more years ago. Seems that
the city editor of a large metropolitan daily dispatched his
religious reporter to cover a revival meeting which was being
conducted in a mammoth tent by a world famous evangrelist.
The reporter attended the meeting, returned to the office,
seated humself at his typewriter and proceeded to go places
in turning out some two columns about the meeting, describ
ing in detail the intense enthusiasm that prevailed, the man
ner in which the evangelist swayed the emotions of his list
eners, the great many souls that repented and were saved
etc., etc., etc.
The city editor read through the novel-length story with
out comment. Suddenly he gave a yell, and then began giv
ing ordera with machine gun rapidity. Camera men rushed
out of the office, star reporters left hurriedly after getting
instructions from the excited city editor.
The reason for all the excitement, my friends, was a
paragraph attached to the end of the revival meeting story
which read:
meeting story
The only thing that happened to mar the pleasure^of
the spiritual evening was when a tier of seats collapsed and
fell, Tcitiing^sevctt-people -and injuring-^coree^f-otl^rs.'” -
. Our fighters have had two wars to win. The home front
has two also; that of support of the fighting and maintenance
of the economic level. War Bond purchases accomplish both.
Even when all else on earth is sweet harmony, that time
signal on radio probably won't be pitched in the key of the
symphony then in progress.
