RALPH B. BLACK, Treasurer Newberry County. Spectator . . . The "Outlook for South Carolina is promising. Never before have I known so much thought to be given to the economic development of the State. Businesmen are becoming State-mind ed, and politicians are becoming busi ness-minded. I say politicians, but I mean some men in public life, for the word “politician” is not one that car ries either hope or confidence. We have in public office many men who are alive to the problems facing the state, and we have many men who are alert only to catch votes by any appeal that will make votes. It is true also that many men in public life are not especially active either for or against the development of the basic econo mic interests of the State. They are matched, however, by a great number of business men who never see any farther than their own desks, who take no interest in public affairs ex cept to grumble and who refuse to co operate with those who are trying to do something. The narrow, utterly selfish type of businessman is no more helpful to the larger development of the State than is the self-seeking poli tician who lives by public favor and gives to big public issues just the turn which will be most readily ac cepted by the ignorant and the pre judiced. One thing stands out in a Demo cracy. The few must do all the real work and contribute all the money. That should not discourage either the broadminded, public-spirited business man or public official who gives of his time and means to the general public interest. Do all the church members contribute of their time and means to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God? Not by any means! Inquire of most church treasurers and you will find that a small percentage of the membership sustains and fosters the propagation of the Gospel throughout the world. Even for the most ordin ary expenses of the local church the same is true. Yet all people benefit directly through the ministry of the church. And, frequently, those who seem most indifferent to the needs of the church, in dollars and cents, make the most calls on the pastor for ser vices of one sort or another. In every undertaking—of what ever kind — it is the same. A few carry the burden. Perhaps it would not be amiss to say that a few carry the torch which lights the way. Eleven Apostles started the movement to evangelize the world. Perhaps the problem is to find eleven men so i- bued with the spirit that they carry Smidau School !:tV CHARLES E.

Lesson for December (7: Matthew 13:3-8, 31-33, 44-46. Golden Text: Isaiah 55:3. “Things on earth are but a shad ow of the heavenly,and men have tried to go from what they knew to what they knew not. Jesus illustrat ed the kingdom by familiar things— birds, lilies, fields, the ordinary acti vities of men. He told the disciples he used the parable to help the people understand his teachings, and to lead them to in vestigate the truth further. In the lesson are the parables of the Sower, Mustard Seed, Leaven, Hidden Treas- use, Pearl of Great Price. The first illustrates the several kinds of hearers of the gospel. The seed is good. All depends upon the soil. The Mustard Seed shows how great things come from little. In less than three centuries, the cross of Jesus was lifted above the Roman eagles, while now the kingdom is spreading to the islands of the sea. The Leaven indicates the spread of the kingdom in the ways of society and the hearts of men. The remaining parables teach the supreme value of the kingdom. Men must give up everything to enter it. Bat they are not really called upon to give up anything that is good. They are to give it the proper place. They must seek first the kingdom of God. So good men should have a sense of proportion. TTiey must set first things first. And if inordinate affec tions make anything into an idol, the would-be disciple should say, in the language of one of the hymns “The dearest idol I have known whate’er that idol be; help me to tear it from Thy throne, and worship only Thee.” on with burning zeal where faint hearts would not dare to go. In South Carolina we have in pub lic life and in business enough men of first-rate ability to put us into the onward sweep of industrial progress. What stands in our way and what do we need? Before going into this let us make the point that we can all agree, I am confident, that we want all the public services we have. I do not mean that the services are one hundred per cent efficient, I man only that the public seems to expect a lot of service and that the services we have are too cost ly for our income. Obviously, then, if we want what we now have, and are really too poor to keep up this pace, we must get more revenue. But there is a tremendous difference be tween getting more revenue from having more wealth invested here and in getting more revenue by squeezing dry those who now pay the taxes. Let us now answer the questions. Some of our laws stand in the way. The tendency of some juries to penal ize big enterprise is in the way. The frequent introduction of hostile bills in the Legislature stands in the way. Those obstacles can be removed, and should be removed. Once we realize that we pay all the bills we shall see that we are cutting our own throats. If capital invests here it creates jobs; it also creates customers for our milk, eggs, vegetables, chickens, etc., etc.; also it adds to the taxpayers. All that benefits you and me. I am not arguing for capital, but for the benefits which |new capital can bring to us. If we don’t get new capital we shall either continue to strain un der the burden of taxes or we must cut off some of the services. Thousands of people pay almost no taxes, or are ignorant of the fact, ■that they pay taxes. But most of them enjoy all the benefits which our tax money makes possible. In our state every child can go to a free school. Taxes make that possible. All of us enjoy police protection. That comes from taxes. We have protec tion against epidemics. More tax money. It may be summed up by saying that the schools, the public health service and police protection are free to all. But surely those who don’t pay direct taxes are interested in keeping up the services. They should be interested in bringing about conditions making it easy to provide these services. If we don’t develop new sources of public income we cannot continue to develop public out-go. I-don’t mean that we must increase the taxes or in vent some new methods of extortion. I mean that we must earn more so that we may pay more. Nothing in recent years has stood so much in need of emphasis as that. We have spent and taxed and created and kept on creating, expanding, spending, tax ing, etc., etc., absolutely without any real survey of the earning power of the people. We have yielded to ap peals, representations, clamors, pres sure — and everything but a fair study of the condition of the people. That has never been due to a cynical attitude of contempt for the people. It has been due to the overwhelming appeals made by good men and wo men who plead for what they regard as some great public need. Of course; there are men and women and child ren living all about us who have very little of the good things of life. Yet the Messiah himself, with full sym pathy and all power, did not try to relieve all poverty, misery or dis tress in one week. He, with supernal wisdom, let mankind solve its prob lems through individual effort, thru trial and error, thru suffering and sorrow, thru aspiration and striving. The habit of looking only at wants and spending is one which will bank rupt a nation as surely as it will an individual. Governments may tax and tax, but investors will some day hold their money rather than submit to insatiable demands and exactattons. We are perilously near that 01 idi- tion in the United States today. Why can’t we use a little coral ion, horse-sense in our public affairs. The invasion 0 f Finland by Ra >sia proves again that nothing counts to day but might. Years ago the Japan ese began to exploit China. The na tions of the world looked on while China was carved as fast as Japan could digest the portion. That is still going on, Japan becoming bolder and bolder, even daring to insult the British lion, and actually sinking an American gunboat. She feels pretty cocky and is still crowing over the Chinese, even now threatening to seize British and Dutch possessions in Asia. Then Hitler came upon the scene and Germany began, little by little, to re-take what had been taken from her. Again nothing was done. Then Italy ruthlessly overran Ethio pia, while all the nations looked on. Germany became bolder and absorb ed Austria, then Czecho-Slovakia. Nothing was done. Then Germany smashed Poland to pieces. That pfo- voked a war with Britain and Frav e. This war is a belated effort to s( ip the practice of seizing and domi^ t- ing other nations at will. The latest phase of this interna tional robbery is the effort of Russia to take Finland. The people of the world ar» im perilled by two dominant l * of modem government: The firs M the so-called totalitarian State, b) which the State is everything and the people are puppets to serve the State. We of the United States believe that the people are everything and that the government is just the instrument to do the will of the people. So we, in theory, are the second of the two dominant ideas. Totalitarian States are Russia, Germany, and Italy, yet the war emergency brings Italy and France nearer and nearer to dictatorship, though Britain’s dictatorship is a cabinet control, which may be stopped by Parliament. France’s is about the same. In no small means we have aspects of dictatorship in the United States. Ours, however, is by grant of power to the President by Con gress and can be taken from him by Congress. The worst governmental power granted by Congress is that which allows the National Labor Re lations Board to proceed in one-sided fashion against the industries of the country. A dozen or more instru mentalities have been created by Con gress, most of which are more an noying than useful; but the power to sweep them out of existence belongs to Congress. Potato Day in old Clarendon prom ises to be a notable occasion. Decem ber 15 has been decided on as the day. Anouncement has betn made that a barbecue expert of recognized ability will officiate at that end. C. T. SUMMER On Your Next Paint Job TRY Atheys R. M.
