EARLY AMERICAN GLASS The general public has awakened to the (jeauty and possibility of early pressed glass. However, not too much of value is to be found on the subject. The art of pressing glass into molds was known to the ancient Egyptians, but it was not until the 1820’s that experiments with mach inery were made successfully, here in America. Authorities do award the credit for perfecting this method of glass making to Americans. From 1827 on, vast improvements were made. Manufactured in the early ’40’s, the first patterns were plain and heavy, classed under the general head of colonial. The demand for goblets, tumblers, wine, ale, beer, cordials came not only from taverns, ships, bar-rooms, but from private homes as well. As the country grew in popula tion and wealth, there was naturally a corresponding rise in refinment in the home, and the demand develop ed for pieces previously considered luxuries. The number and variety in output increased both in crystal and colored glass. There were loveliest shades of amethyst, cobalt blue, am ber, green or red'. Hob-nail, daisy and button, inverted thumbprint, moon and stars, rubber palm, bell flower, beckle, Presin, spiral are ad mirable patterns, beloved by collec tors and amateurs, alike. It is rather a curious but interest ing commentary that today the once unappreciated pressed glass is in de mand by fashion’s decree. So trot out your bowls, celery holders, butter dishes, cake stands, plates, compotes and what have you, and enjoy the possession of something, which once was an integral part of “America in the Making”. Mention should be made of the beautiful satin glass which comes in lovely shades of blue, rose and pale yellow. Vases and rose bowls are the most available. Many of them have fluted edges. Unfortunately satin glass is becom ing increasingly rare. There is the opaque or meek-white glass, also madb in turquoise blue. Lovely old open work plates, fruit bowls and rose bowls come in this particular ware. Then there is the distinctive marble glass, so named be cause of its resemblance to marble. This glass is strikingly colored. It comes in lovely rose shading to ame thyst—and is rare. The designs in old glass are num erous; there is charm and variety to patterns; there is character and at mosphere in many suggestive of by gone days and manners. Old glass speaks for itself!

C., Governor Burnet May- bank and former Governor Olin D. Johnston, two of the three candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for the U. S. Senate, drew applause here today with denunciations of Charles A. Lindbergh and Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. The third man in the race, Con gressman Joseph R. Bryson of Greenville was absent — he was in Washington to vote on the big de fense tax bill—but he was represent ed by his 15-year-old son, William Jefferson (Billy) Bryson, who read a speech for him. About 350 people oroiwded into the county courthouse to hear the candidates in the second of a series of 14 meetings arranged by the state Democratic executive committee. This meeting was for the second ju dicial circuit and the campaign party will move from here into the 14th circuit for a meeting Wednesday at Walterboro. Both Maybank and Johnston reit erated their indorsement of Presi dent Roosevelt’s foreign policy and the former declared himself unalter ably opposed “to the croakings of Wheeler, Lindbergh or any others . . . who would have our defenses held up.” Johnston said he favored full preparedness and that he would never “line up with such people as Lindbergh and Wheeler.” . ‘Plight of Farmer’ Speaking first, Maybank asserted that there was “no .place for person alities” in the campaign. “Issues and issues .alone should be the only consideration,” he said. Calling attention to “the plight of the farmer,” Maybank again ex pressed himself against any “celling on the price of cotton under its pres ent parity,” which he said “certainly should not be less than 20 cents a pound.” He reviewed the work of his ad ministration as Governor, and said all of his many activities were de signed “to make South Carolina a better place to live in.” When he touched on the interna tional situation, Maybank said, “It will not be but a very, very short time before the Congress of the United States declares a national emergency ... I know whereof I speak.” This action, he said, “means a period of trial and sacrifice.” “If we are to-’survive, we have to protect ourselves against any at tempt to tear down our form of gov ernment,” he said in support of the President’s foreign policies. He said also that “we must plan for the days of peace” in order to prevent any rep- itition of the 1929-39 depression. “We must look at the future,” he said. “Those who refuse to look . . . will be sorry when the future comes.” He contended that "when peace comes it will be up to us .. . to see that the world is returned to Christianity.” Maybank maintained that “prof its should be kept out of the war” by the imposition of taxes on the manufacturers of war supplies and equipment. He said he Would work towards that end if elected. Johnston told of his war record and said that because “I have known the horrors of war . .. I intend as fhr as necessary to keep the United States from sending its boys to the battlefields again unless it becomes absolutely necessary.” He endorsed all-out aid to the democracies and shouted: “Down with that Hitler and his crowd!” The former Governor was defeat ed in his 1938 senatorial bid declared it was his intention "to represent all the people of South Carolina,” not “the up-State against the low- State, labor against capital, capital against labor, businessmen against the farmers, farmers against bus'in- Back at the OLD STAND ... AND READY TO SERVE YOU We are back at our old location at 1504 Main street and invite you to call on us there. Our building has been remodeled and we are in excellent position to give you good service on auto repairs. He said he would not “engage in personalities” but that he would run “on my record of the past.” He promised to “carry out my promises” and “to fight hard for what I consid er” the best interests of “a majority of the people.” Like Maybank, he said he did not favor “a ceiling on the price of cot ton” at this time. He did not think it would be “right and just.” Johnston advocated “a better bal ance” for agriculture and said “the government should step in and nelp the farmers” get more for their pro duce. He said “an inadequate mark eting system” now existed. His farm program, he continued, was for more aid to farmers In the standardization of markets; more as sistance to farmers “where they need it most;” rural electrification expan sion; forestry development, encour agement for “proper manufacturing interests” to locate in South Caro lina; and development of new crops. There should also be a parity price “for all farm products of the State, not just the principal one*” Johnston told of many things ac complished during his administra tion as Governor from 1935 to 1939 and asserted thot “much ol the President’s humanitarian program was along lines I had advocated.” He declared that the South would never be the nation’s economic prob lem No. 1 “if Congress will follow what I have recommended” for ag riculture and. industry. He said his program would also be “uplifting to the nation as a whole” but that he was “for the people of South Caro lina” first. Johnston favored conscription of wealth in time of war. In the speech read by Young Bry son, his father endorsed the national defense program and the President’s foreign policies. He told of his work in Congress for the betterment of ag riculture and the extension of rural electrification; against “every at tempt aimed at destruction of the Wage-Hour act, the National Labor Relations act, and other great legis lative landmarks of the Roosevelt administration,” for lower freight rates in the South; for hydroelectric power development; and for "Presi dent Rrfbsevelt’s program of social and economic betterment.” GelUng Up Highb MakesManyFeelOld ~ yon fed elder than yea art or suffer Getting Up Nights, Backache, Nerroue- Leg Paine, pRirlnass.
