Anything impossible about this ?
Remember the ark of gopher wood ?
Well after the experiences of the
last two weeks of July I thought it
appropriate to read attentively the
well known account in the seventh
chapter of Genesis. Perhaps one of
the most comforting of all assurances
given to mankind is found at the
very end of the eighth chapter.
“While the earth remaineth, seed
time and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and
night shall not cease.”
The rejection by the national House
of Representatives of the 3-billion
dollar lending bill of the President
is a happy indication that Congress
is capable of thinking for itself oc
casionally. It means that Congress
has recovered a measure of indepen
dence and cannot always be driven
into every fantastic scheme that
can be devised to pour out public
»noney.
Governor Maybank is striking his
Stride. He is proving his qualities
as a business man and executive in
many of his recent official acts. His
intention to bring about a central
purchasing arrangement for all the
penal institutions is thoroughly fine
and businesslike. The Governor’s
purpose is armirable. Of course I
know that central buying of itself is
not a miracle-worker; those in
charge must know more than merely
to invite bids.
Spectator ventures to offer a sug
gestion to our capable Governor by
way of cooperation. The suggestion
is that the penal instititions invite
all other state institutions to sit in a
voluntary conference for cooperation
and general benefit. Particularly
would I recommend that Mr. H. T.
Patterson, Treasurer of the State
Hospital, be invited to sit with the
Board when It considers bids for
supplies. Mr. Patterson is generally
regarded as a good buyer, as a man
Who gets the fullest value for the
public money he spends.
The Governor may not have the
authority to require the other insti
tutions to send their buyers to a gen
eral Council of State purchasing
agents, but I am sure all would at
tend at his invitation. The combin
ed knowledge aid ability of such men
as Mr. Patterson of the State Hos
pital and Mr. Graham, jhe very com
petent Bursar of Winthrop, would be
worth a lot of money to the State. I
don’t know who buys for the Citadel,
but I’m sure General Summerall
knows every item and the uttermost
farthing paid for it.

MILLS-BRISSIE MARRIAGE
INTEREST NEWBERRIANS
Of interest throughout the state
was the wedding of Miss Allene

of the members of the two families
and a group of close friends at the
home of the bride in prosperity on
Saturday, August 6, at five o’clock.
The Rev. George E. Meetze of Pros
perity heard the vows before a white
archway entwined with southern
smilax, enhanced by a background of
long leaf pine. White cut flowers,
fern, and tapers in white candelabra
completed a beautiful setting for
the vows which included an impres
sive ring ceremony.
