CHRISTIANITY GOES TO PRESS.
By Edgar J. Goods peed. The Macmil
lan company, New York City. Pp.
115. Pr. $1.50.
These pages are based upon the
James W. Richard Lectures which Dr.
Goodspeed delivered at the University
of Virginia in October of 1939, com
prising I. Paul’s Personal Letters; II
Christians Learn to Publish; III. The
Climax of Christian Publication; and
IV. Christian Publishers Carry On.
Index. Few men in the world today
are better qualified to write on the
various prcb'ems of Christianity
than this author; he is highly traini
ed and he has had the good fortune
to be the son of a scholar. The par
ticular value of this book is that it
enables the reader to see the real
mountain peaks of Christain litera
ture at a glance; yet the book does
not appear to be over-sketchy. Open
the book where you will and you will
find food for thought as well as a
world of material condensed to con
nect the bent that the Christians had
for publication into a continuous
story. The boik is very readable. It
is easy to follow the author through
the, early days of the Christian move
ment, through the Apostolic Fath
ers, through Greek and Latin Patris
tics, through the Reformation and on
into modern and contemporary times.
The author commands your attention
from the very first page. “When the
Japanese bombed Chapei a few
years ago, and the plant and libary
of the Commercial Press, the plates
of my American translation of the
New Testament were destroyed. A
Tokyo publisher has now issued the
book photographically with the type
face reduced 5-8 of an inch in
height. So the Bible continues to
avail itself of new techniques of pub
lication, as it has done ever since
the first century,’’ p. 108. The author
makes it abudantly clear that it was
the Christian movement that produc
ed the books of the New Testament
as well as all other Christian litera
ture. This truism is so easily for
gotten by those who are bibliolaters
rather than worshippers of the
Father through Jesus Christ.
AAA CASH: THE OTHER SIDE
GIVEN BY PAPER
(Eugene Butler in The Progressive
Farmer)
Some folks call parity payments
“the farm grab,” implying that
farmers are being subsidized by the
nation. But let’s turn this thing
over and look at the other side.
According to Senator Lee of Ok
lahoma, every mouthful of bread the
cunsumers of this country eat was
raised by the farmer who lost money
on it. During the ten years since
1930,- farmers have failed by $20,
000,000,000 to obtain parity of income
with other classes. In other words,
the farmers of America have subsi
dized the consumers of the nation to
the tune of $2,000,000,000 a year for
the last 10 years. This $212,000,000
is merely a part payment on the
farmers’ compulsory contribution to
the consumers of the nation.
Spectator Suggests
We Eat The Grass
No more taxes! No new taxes! Let’s
try a reduction. There is no sacred
or untouchable service in South Caro
lina. There is no service which
could not function on ten per cent
less.
Let us cut everything ten per cent
and cut out Welfare eitirely. Have
we the courage to do what our intel
ligence so clearly indicates?
I am quite sure that all our insti
tutions could be curtailed without
any appreciable impairment of use
fulness—and I think we are a fool
ish and extravagant people to pour
out money without even a clear idea
of what we are doing (or why)—but
all the waste and misdirection of all
institutions put together does not
equal the absurd and reckless squand
ering of our tax money in the name
of welfare.
The Farmers turn has come at
last. All his life his great battle
has been ■with grass. Sometimes na
ture seemed disposed to favor him
with a luxuriant hay crop, but by
hard work he has brought forth corn
and cotton. Now comes a great
chemist and fells us that ordinary
green grass contains all the vitamins
and that green grass is much more
nutricious than vegetables and’ fruits.
Old King Nebuchadnezzar grazed
seven years and came out of the pas
ture a man among man, able to think
clearly just how small he was in com
parison with the King of Kings.
The American Butter Company,
through its chemists, is always study
ing foods and food values. It is this
great industrial enterprise which
tells us that grass is rich in vita
mins, etc.
Unless we can curb the Dutch
Weather Prophet of Columbit we
farmers may have to eat grass. Some
time ago we were told of the food
value of broom sedge and now comes
just plain grass.
Why should it astonish us that
grass is found to be so rich in food
value? The horses on the range and
the cows in pasture eat grass. And
the farmers know that a cow which
grazes on lush grass gives more and
better milk.
So, farmers, if Brother Houseal
keeps up his blitzkr'eg let’s just call
off the hoe-hands and eat the grass.

Dr. Carl B. Epps of Sumter will be
in the race for State Senator to fill
the unexpired term of the late Sen-
aor J. B. Britton, according to The
Sumter Item. The Doctor was a
member of the famous “Econo
House” of 1933-1934, which cut the
appropriation bill in half.
Dr. Epps is a genial, fine gentle
man, as well as a physician and sur
geon of large practice. Notwithsttnd-
ing his professional attainments and
success he takes his citizenship ser
iously and gives liberally of his time
and means to civic matters. .
Dr. Epps is not a politician; he
makes no deals or trades and says
what he thinks. He is deeply sym
pathetic with the rank and file of
the people, but is level-headed and
sound toward all groups. Moreover,
the Doctor is a fighting man. Though
one of the most amiable and com
panionable men in the world, he has
the vigor and zeal of a crusader.
Dr. Epps makes no promises except
to do his duty as he sees it. and his
absolute sincerity and unselfishness
command universal respect and con
fidence.
There is much talk of Dr. Olin
Sawyer for the Senate. I suppose it
is timely to have a few physicians
around, for the body politic is pretty
sick. There is only one doctor in
the Senate now, and he is overloaded.
Dr. Sawyer has had large experience
in the House. He is quick and effec
tive in debate and a steady worker
in committee. He is one of the eco
nomists when he gets a chance to be,
and at times has been a one-man
economist surrounded by golden
spenders. Dr. Sawyer is a natural
parlimentarian, with the gentlest
most courteous manner all the time,
even while prodding the other side.
No one will deny that Dr. Sawyer is
one of the most capable members of
the General Assembly and one of the
most level-headed men in public" life.
Our General Assembly expects
this week a new report from the
Free Conference Committee on the
General Appropriation Bill. The
work of the committee has been dif
ficult, without guidance from either
body yet expect to please both.
As was truly said by the Govern-
er, everything has changed since the
Budget Commission prepared its re
port. Just as truly has the whole
world changed since the House and
Senate passed their respective bills.
When those bills were passed there
was a state of war in Western Europe
but so quiet and uneventful that peo
ple called) for action. Today we have
action so horrendous that with all the
destructive power of modem chem
istry and physics we sit on the side
lines while nations are beaten hope
lessly, and all the civilization and
curtural heritage of the ages seem
about to be engulfed in a sea of
barbarism.

So great is the threat to all tl
cherished landmarks of oui ancestn
loyalty, so poignant the shock to v
that we have almost forgotten thi
our legislature is still wrestling wit
problems which were of absorbing b
terest two weeks ago.
This naton wll have to provide f<
defense in terms of billions. Commc
sense, just plain common sens
should tell us to stop all WPA ar
PWA spending and to concentrate <
military preparedness. The enormoi
stimulation of industry here wou
absorb hundreds of thousands of a'
ditional workers, and this, in tur
will invigorate all business ever;
where, so that all classes of busine
will need additional help. All 01
effort now should be directly of mili-
tar effectiveness or contributory to it.
In our State, we are looking into dis
located; or destroyed foreign markets,
a condition which casts gloom over
all our agriculture. The Free Con
ference Committee would be justified
in striking out the item for Welfare
and reducing the other items from ten
to twenty-five per cent. Let us put
the State’s finances on a sound basis.
We might put ourselves on a war ba
sis by clearing up our State finance
problems.
Bring income and outgo into bal
ance. We don’t know what is just
ahead of us; so let’s put our house in
order. Cut anything everything, but
let’s have a clean sheet.
Governor Maybank properly calls
attention to the facilities in South
Carolina for cooperating with the
Government in putting the nation on
a footing of preparedness. We have
Camp Jackson, Fort Moultrie, Parris
Isllandi Marine station, and a num
ber of COC camps. In addition, we
have within four hours of Charleston
by army trucks enough open land
for the training of a million men.
And all this lies on paved highways,
quickly Accessible to the ports as
well as to great arterial roads run
ning North South, and West.
In Clarendon County near the San
tee River, below St. Paul, fifty thous
and men could be billeted and trained.
Across the river, on the Orangeburg
side, could be quartered at least as
many more. In Sumter County, five
or six miles from the City of Sumter
and extending to Stateburg, could be
trained another fifty thousand; while
between the Wateree River, and the
Veterans’ Hospital another corps
could be prepared. I could take up
other counties just as easily. All
the troops near the Santee could
move to Charleston, Georgetown, or
Beaufort by three great highways—
all paved and ready; while from the
Sumter and Columbia area the same
three highways are within easy reach,
the Watteree road now under con
struction being the only military ar
tery not yet ready.
To the North are three paved high
ways—by Camden, Winnsboro, and
Hartsville; while to the South we a'e
not quite so fortunate- -all our roads
running into a bottle neck below Har
dee ville.
TIMBER GROWS FAST
Striking evidence that it does not
take long as some people think to
grow timber large enough for use
on the farm was brought out recent
ly in a timber thinning demonstra
tion set up on the farm of 0. H. Lane,
near Newberry by P. B. Ezell, county
agent.
The demonstration was set up in a
stand of loblolly pine that seeded in
after Mr. Lane had ceased farming
the land 12 years ago. Although the
trees are therefore only about 11
years old, many of them are nine
inches in diameter and ready for a
light thinning.
Accordingly, the crooked, diseased,
limby, and ice-damaged trees were
marked for cutting this fall. This
marking showed that Mr. Lane could
cut 3.2 cords of firewood and have
left 10.5 cords of wood per acre com
posed of the best trees that would
grow more rapidly as the result of
the thinning.
“According to the demonstraition,
the timber was growing at the rate
of 1.2 cords per acre per year”, says
Mr. Ezell. “This is exceptional
growth for timber this young. The
average growth of timber for South
Carolina is around four-tenths of a
cord per acre animially, taking in
timber of all sizes.”

“You get Double Range
Anti-Knock!”
Every motorist knows that there are
two important ranges of acceleration
where highest anti-knock perform
ance is needed. For example, you need
knockless power at 10 to 45 miles per
hour for acceleration in traffic and 45
to 90 miles per hour for passing other
cars and climbing hills. Some gasolines
may give high anti-knock in one range
but not in the other. But the new
Sinclair H-C combines high anti-knock
performance in both ranges. With the
Double-Range anti-knock in H-C you
also get other remarkable qualities in
performance. You get quick starting—
rapid pick-up — smooth power — and
long mileage.
Try a complete tankful of the new
Double-Range H-C in your car today.
Your nearby Sinclair dealer sells it at
regular price. You will find it adds to
the pleasure of driving and helps
reduce motoring expense as well! Ask
