We don’t need to have anything to do with them because they never produce anything that could benefit mankind.” * Then he looked at his American-made watch, finished his American chocolate bar, lighted his American-brand cigarette, and drove off in an automobile that had been manufactured .hi Detroit = We can find many similar instances in this country. People who are making their living in the United States, and a good living it is compared to what they would be making in Russia or any other country in the world—are going around trying to overthrow our government and substitute a communistic form of government for And then you find people in this country who are always knocking corporations and big business and at the same time making their living dhd a good living it is com pared to what they would be making in any other country of the world—by work ing for them. We find ourselves wondering sometimes just hew long itNwould take to completely destroy this country if the agitators could Jiayetheir way. The and part ia that, once destroyed, it mmm Fairfield’s According to the would take centuries to rebuild it. Where Need Is Greatest In the annual report of the Medical Col lege of South Carolina there appears this paragraph: ’The present administration of the Medi cal College has for several years been ac tively advocating the desirability and ad vantage of providing the facilities neces sary to increase the class enrollment to 75 or 80. Although the construction funds now appropristed may provide sufficient hos pital and clinical teaching facilities for this purpose, enrollment is absolutely limit ed to the present claas size by the capacity of the departmental teaching laboratories. If the class enrollment is to be increased, the departments must be enlarged by ad dition to the college building, as set forth elsewhere in this report.” In view of the fact there ia a shortage of doctors, it does aeem that the Genera Assembly would make the other state edu cational institutions wait a year or so for improvements that are aot urgent, if in deed they are needed, and give the Medi cal College what it needs in order to be able to take care of more students. Are We Tired Of Freedom? The people of this country have had freedom for almost two centuries. That freedom has permitted our citizens to mold their own destinies. As a result we are not odly blessed with a fruitful life but have developed a nation which more than any other, follows the Golden Rule in the hope of helping others. But like a blight that threatens the mightest stand of timber, socialism has been introduced in the United States. This type of governmentaliam leads people to believe that they will be relieved of much of the burden of making a living—that th* government will be able to produce and care for them. No mention is made of the increase in taxation caused by greater gov ernment spending. Paying the tax bill has placed a constantly greater demand upon the titmen’a pocketbook. Individual opportunity has receded from its crest in this country. Have the people lost light of the great heritage left to them? Are they like the boy who gften full freedom in the candy store ceaeeqaenMr made himself tick by itr<Yhe American people are headed a stouinch usbi a» they swallow bigger Mter dosea of aodaliam now being f< them in sugar-coated fhym by Vho ia the greatest man Fairfield comity has produced?” reply “Dr. James H. Carlisle.” The News and Herald then goes •» **] say of Dr; Carlisle “that he so touted, tempered and pOi and Biocides that they to fluenced their iMitraa. en t dren’a children.” AU of which ia very true. Net field county but the entire die of Carolina has never produced a greet* than Dr. James H Carlisle. We *a Have that any am vtoe has ever Hved to! this state haa 'influenced the Uvea of aa many as he did. If man’s rm new ia determined by the money he accumulates, then Dr. Carlisle wee probably one of the state's greatest failures. He never accumulated any money at all In fact he remained aa president of Wofford College through the yean at a salary which was a mere pittance of what he could have earned elsewhere. When he died he left no estate. Often times he would only draw the small salary which Wofford was able to pay him when he was down to his last penny. He cared not for worldly goods. But he had a burning passion to make good citizens out of the boys who came to Wofford College. He stressed, character flnt of all. He felt that character was the keynote of success. And as a result of the training which they received at his hands at Wofford many of his students became leaden in South Carolina. They became bankers, Governors, United States Sen ators, college presidents—in whatever line of business of profession they entered they became leaden. One of the interesting stories that has been told of Dr. Carlisle is that one Mon day morning a tired old Methodist circuit rider returned to his home after having conducted a week’s “protracted meeting” at one of his Fairfield county churches. Hit faithful wife noting that he wi also detected a loolrnf disappointment hit face. “What jort of a meeting did you have, dear?” she asked. . - * “Only fair,” replied the old circuit rider. . “Were there any conversions or addi tions to the church' membership?” she asked. “Nobody but little Jimmy Carlisle,” he replied. Little did the old circuit rider know that “little Jimmy Carlisle” was to grow up to be over six feet tall «nd a giant in intellect and one of the greatest powers for ggod In the histoiy of the state. • The emblem of the Rotary Chib, a civic organization, is “service above self.” There weren’t any Rotary dubs to Dr. Carlisle’s day but surely no man ever trod the soil of South Carolina who came as near put ting “service above self” as did Dr. James H. Carlisle. Fairfield county should be proud of him. It Should long ago have erected a monu ment to nim.

An effort is expected to be made to get the bill enacted before the present session cornea to an end. The bin should be killed. It means another tax put upon the people as would be the cae* with the passage of a sales tax. New taxes are just additional taxes — none are ever removed.

It’s a favorite pastime with political demagogues to denounce American busi ness. , The University of Notre Dame has re cently made a survey to find out just who own American business and the result may be startling to some of these demagogues. The survey revealed that 7U per-cent of all dividends go to .people making less than $5,000 a year. When you see a politician or agitator de nouncing some big corporation he thinks only of some millionaire that may own a sizeable block of stoclf in it He doesn’t think of tiie thousands of poor, hardwork ing people who have invited some of their lifetime savings to that same corporation. In fact the University of Notre Dame found that 70 per cent of all of the divi dends declared by business to this coun ty go to people whom you might call poor people. t *. . . . and the reason is, it gives so tn$£c& and costs so tittle to operate andfnaintain 7M most BeoutiM BUY for All your irkxde wffl say, “What a Chevrolet aad Ugfeaprioed can.
