OPIUM
Opium, which is made from the
gum of a species of poppy, has been
in use for over three thousand years,
the source of its origin not being
definitely known.
[Homer tells of its possessing the
power of producing sleep. Hippoc
rates, the father of medicine, knew
of it and lectured to his students on
it uses and abuses.
Two thousand years ago, the
Turks added alchohol to gum opium,
and produced what is known today
as laudanum, which they used as
a cordial, indulging in it so exten
sively that laws were passed pro
hibiting its sale, because men aban
doned their business to imbibe it
and be lulled into pleasant dreams.
In the early days of both Rome
and Greece, the drug addict walked
the streets, as he does today, stimu-
latd by opium which he chewed, and
as crimes increased, these early na
tions passed laws forbidding its sale.
It is therefore obvious that in an
cient days there were drug addicts
as there are today and that they
were national problems, a they
are now.
Many authorities believe that the
drug called Rosh in the Old Testa
ment was nothing more or less than
opium. It is erroneously believed
that the Chinese first grew this
poppy and that it came from the
Land of Morning Calm to the West.
Dn the contrary its original habi
tat was Asia Minor and at one time
it was extensively cultivated in
Turkey.
England forced the Chinese na
tion through the Opium Wars, to
buy a specified amount annually of
gum opium, so that the sharehold
ers of the poppy plantations in India,
producing this drug, would get their
interest regularly, and it was through
this that the Chinese became opium
addicts.

COMMENTS
South Carolina should advance; to
day we have a Governor who knows
business and who understands that
only through production and distri
bution, saving and investment, can
we prosper; and that our need is
more capital. This Legislature, too,
has been free from demagoguery and
is led by some very able and clear-
visioned men. Heretofore the hos
tile atmosphere of the Lgislature
has been a force to keep out new
capital.
Our local and state appropriations
—totaling nearly $100,000,000—are
too high. We should re-appraise
every spending agency of the State
and Counties to make sure that we
are spending wisely. Just as a great
industrial enterprise profits from ex
pert surveys, so might we usefully
survey all our public services, includ
ing municipalities and other spend
ing units.
In seeking for industries to use
our raw products, employ our people
and to contribute to the general up
keep of the state and all its cultural
and economic activities, we may take
heart that the greatest of our raw
products—cotton—is now receiving
special study. Cotton, the basis of
our economy so long, the balance for
our foreign trade, was a principal
element in the foundation upon which
was built the spacious culture of the
South. Today both the wizardy of
chemistry and the resourcefulness of
sales promotion are working together
to put the king back on the throne.
I feel not only filial respect and
love for Charleston, but great pride
in her character and achievemennts.
It is well to remember that Char
leston capital, Charleston merchants,
were a considerable factor in mak
ing it possible for country merchants
to provide an ox or a mule, ferti
lizer and groceries to almost any
body willing to cultivate the land.
That there may have been big pro
fits should not obscure the fact of
the great credit risk. That our peo
ple, just after the war, loooked to
Charleston is something this genera
tion does not know.
But high on the roll of service
should be put the names of some
East Bay merchants.
Charleston was not a get-rich-
quick town. It was a place of leisure
and a place of standard's. I like to
think of it as a town where men res
pect their word. The greatest tri
bute to the English, I think, is that
throughout South America one gives
his solemn binding promise by say
ing “palabra Inglesa”—English word.
The Englishman’s code of honor is
recognized and respected everywhere.
That was before Munich . An so
with Charleston.
We must build for the new era by
creating and sustaining an atmos
phere of friendliness to industry and
investment. I repeat the words—
create and sustain an atmosphere of
friendliness. This requires of our
businessmen that they deliberately
use the power of the ballot and the
the influence growing out of a quick
ened political conciousness. Along
with this helpful atmosphere we must
remove barriers. Among the bar
riers to remove are:
(1) The Intangibles Tax, which de
prives us of some very desirable cit
izens of wealth, by imposing higher
taxes on dividends and interest than
those imposed by competing states;
and, (2) we must reduce tax burdens,
particularly local tax burdens.
At bottom our trouble is that we
rush into all sorts of things which
are beyond our means. A magnifi
cent building may sometimes indicate
an unwise ambition more than a
practical utility of immediate need.
We are not turning out better men
and women from our institutions;
nor shall we improve the quality of
manhood by going into debt for build
ings. I do not deny the desirability
of these things, but I do challenge
the wisdom or the necessity for
some of them. We are tempted to
plunge into debt because other people
are doing it.
I indulge the fervent wish that
some one may lead us into a fresh
appraisal of the value of all our ac-

tivities. Such a man must disregard
the clamor of those who wear labels
and think that the label guarantees
genuineness.
The greatest advance in recent
years has come through laboratory
workers. The horizon of Commerce
has enormously widened through
the quiet labors of the chemists. And
we have barely begun to use chemis
try in industry.
Of special interest to us is the pos
sibility of regaining an ancient pri
macy through cotton. Various groups
are studying new possibilities for our
great staple. The Mellon institute
has a staff of 80 research specialists,
with 200 assistants, devoting full
time to general experimentation and
cooperating with The Cotton Re
search Council which employs 8 spe
cialists; The Cotton Textile Institute
is concerned with problems of wider
demand for manufactured goods; and
numerous individual chemists also
are at work. We may remember that
a great Government laboratory for
the study of agricultural products of
this region will operate in New Or
leans, devoting its primary studies
to cotton.
A new organization has been
launched by 5 groups—cotton pro
ducers, ginners, merchants, crushers
and warehousemen. It is called the
National Cotton Council and has
headquarters in Memphis and a
state organization in each state of
the cotton group.
ST. PHILIPS NEWS
Recently I had the opportunity of
attending the South Carolina school
for the blind at Cedar Springs,
near Spartanburg. Miss Sara Banks
and I were carried up by Mr. and
Mrs. Holland H. Ruff. After spend
ing a short time in the city of Spar
tanburg we continued our trip on to
Cedar Springs, about four miles out
from the city.
The first part of the program was
held at eight o’clock Thursday night,
August 10. After the program, re
freshments of cak and punch were
served and an informal reception
held when we had the pleasure of
again meeting many old friends.
Attending the meeting were 105
blind persons from all over the
State.
The Friday morning session began
in the chapel at nine o’clock when
we heard some fine addresses and a
mmorial service conductd by Miss
Banks. At the two o’clock session
we elected officers and made plans
to hold a meeting at Cedar Springs
each year.
The concluding feature of the 2.
day program was a lecture Friday
night, followed by a social hour. I
had the rare pleasure of spending
some time with a friend I hadn’t
seen in 39 years.
Mr. Walker, who had charge of
the program, gave us all a wonder
ful time and we apreclate his friend
liness and kindness.
We returned home Saturday, Miss
Banks and I coming with 1?. F.
Livingston instead of riding the bus
as formerly planned. f
