Poor old degenerate England! It’a s sad story. Do you remember—in the days of President Hoover- that we rend with a shock that the once- proud English were calling for the dble? And that we said, “Well, one thing sure; this country will never stoop to that"! Alas and alack! Once our "once-proud" Americans, even South Carolinians, tasted the government food, we showed the poor eld English that even in misery and ■tserableness we Americans head the KsL We have the biggest buildings, 0>e tallest sky-scrapers, the smartest prple, the richest country, the biggest «rooks, the wiliest scoundrels, the finest trains, the finest telephone ays- i, the finest electricity distribution, highest wages, the "slickest "poli- the most avaricious spoilers .and the moat voracious feeders at the public trough. Even so. Poor «ld degenerate England, indeed!

Take your choice. The Southern white man may cling to the political traditions of his father and swallow almost anything labeled "Democratic," but he will cling more steadfastly to his father's racial doctrine then to any political schemery. The Democratic Party in the South means just one thing. If you forsake that you kill the party. Well, there will soon be no farm ers. Of all the 1,554 students enroll ed in our State University, not a one aspires to be a farmer. 232 of the student body have come from the farm, but don’t want to go back to the farm. A third want to be law yers or teachers. Well, we do need some teachers. 117 want to be sur geons, 62 yearn to mold public opin ion as journalists. My word! 16 plan to become ministers. Can it be ? 16 ministers! And from Carolina? Whoever should have thought' that dear old Carolina should inspire 16 men to take holy orders while not a man—nary T>ne—feels the urge to till the soil ? What's wrong with the His tory Department at Carolina? Docs it not tell of the spacious living of the gentry who loved the soil, yet gave us our inet ructions ?

Great speeches are few, the members not being oratorical. Quiet senators rep resent old Williamsburg, Charleston, Laurens, Greenville, Spartanburg, Lex ington, Saluda, Union, Horry, Oconee and Pickens in these latter days, in steed of the orators who once enliven ed the days—and nights—with acri mony, impassioned declamation or fiery denunciation.
