STROTHER C. PAYSINGER, Agent
Spectator
South Caroline is full of good
people. Sometimes the whole world
seems to be going to the bow wows,
but the lesson of Scripture, you re
call. was that though we seem to
be ..i the power of Baal there are
ma.iy who have never bowed the
knee to Baal.
I was thinking of a man from
Chesterfield .— Funderburk. That
brought before me “Bob” (R. E.)
Hanna of Cheraw, who is a Ches-
terfieldian in every sense. I was al
most tempted to tell about Bob
drinking a gallon of buttermilk, but
I’ll guard that as a secret. Other
names of Chesterfield came to my
mind. There be my handsome friend
J. C. Miller, and my sturdy and un
failing supporter Lam Britton of the
Court House. And many others of
“the Cheraws” come floating before
me. Now that is just one County.
Every county has men who are the
salt of the earth; who have not
bowed the knee to Baal; they, in
very truth, are people each of whom
“Walketh uprightly, and worketh
righteousness, and speaketh the
truth in his heart.”
Sometimes I think of writing
about some man of my special'es
teem. Forthwith so many names
occur to me that there is not space
sufficient to mention more than a
few. In Charleston are so many
that the names come trooping in;
that is also true of Cplumbia, Green
ville, Anderson—Well, don’t you
see?
I am not thinking of men whom
the papers publicize, or the world
applauds, but of men whom I have
known and learned to appreciate.
You recall the hymn “Count Your
Blessings”? Well, take stock of
the good people you know.
I was amazed when I read the
petition of twenty-four Baptist min
isters in favor of the FEPC. Being
a Baptist myself I can discuss my
Baptist brethren freely. I know, of
course, that there was a call to the
Methodist womanhood and clipped
that from a paper some weeks ago
and gave it to a distinguished friend
who is eminent among the Methodist
laymen. I shall let him deal with
that; but the Baptist being my own
kith and kin, my fellow members of
the great Christian democracy, I
exercise my privilege, as one of
those democrats, to appeal to the
great brotherhood to keep the foun
tains >pure and undefiled — with
Christian love and forbearance—
while there is yet time.
If I was amazed when I read the
petition of the twenty-four minis
ters, I was utterly dumfounded
when two outstanding businessmen
of the South told me that one hund
red and forty-six students of the
University of South Carolina sign
ed petitions to Senator Olin D.
Johnston, endorsing the FEPC.
I do not with to reflect adversely
on old Carolina; an institution of
learning can not be held responsible
for the thinking of its students. It
is highly responsible, however, for
the teaching done there: for the
ideas implanted in the class room.
If there is any such teaching as led
to the petition, the teacher should
be relieved of further service.
We wonder if the basic truth of
the FEPC has been presented to
the students of the University.
Most of the students are fully alive
to the currents of thought floating
around, and are in that condition of
intellectual awareness that charact
erized the classical Greeks and
made them eager for ideas. The
Apostle Paul, you wU recall, says:
“For all the Athenians and strang
ers which were there spent their
time in nothing else, but either to
tell, or to hear some new thing.” If
the highly sensitized spirits of our
young fellow citizens have received
unfortunate impressions it is desir
able that the truth be presented so
that fhey may choose between prin-
cples and fallacies.
Are we teaching our people the
truth? Or, are we assuming that
the truth will proclaim itself spon
taneously? How many leaders of
thought have seriously discussed the
FEPC? If the race issue appears
on the surface, there is an even deep
er question involved: the right to
operate your business. In its larg
er phase it is equally as dangerous
to Massachusetts as to South Caro
lina and Georgia.
The only real fight by South
Carolinians—on the FEPC—is that
of Senators Mayibank and Johnston
and our six Representatives in
Congress. As for us here at home:
WE ARE ASLEEP.
America, the world’s foremost ex
ponent of democracy, went to war.
It called its sons to war, even under
the harshness of conscription. They
came, those millions of men, from
all parts, from all conditions of life,
to serve the great democracy. And
how did the great democracy treat
its sons, those boys of a land of
equality—and all that? Why the
great democracy established a

caste system, a high wall, between
officers and enlisted men. In time
of peace, in businese and industry,
we have rank, but no such caste
system as suggests the Germans.
More than that: “We even built
up privileges, special privileges of
all kinds—based on caste, not mili
tary necessity. An officer is grant
ed terminal leave, with pay and al
lowances, plus all accrued leave, plus
discharge pay. A private loses hie
leave if he was in battle; has no
terminal leave. That looks foreign
to us. Maybe that’s Russian demo
cracy.
Shall we abolish the Industrial
Commission? That is the serious
suggestion of a very able lawyer.
Why abolish the Commission? The
lawyer I cite is convinced that the
law is bad and is not being administ
ered satisfactorily. One objection
is that the lawyers themselves have
received so much in fees that the
liability insurance paid by business
is exorbitant. In theory, cases un
der the workmen's Compertsation
Act do not require a lawyer. The
Commission itself is supposed to
represent both the injured workman
and the employer; and the law pro
vides all the means necessary for
full justice to all parties, without
employing Counsel. How does it
work out? Injured men have said
that only by and through a law
yer have they received an award
that was adequate. But in that
case they have to pay the attorney.
It was the purpose of the law to
assure >to every injured man full
justice by the Commission, acting
under the law and acting at all
times by its own iniative.
The very reputable lawyer, cited
above, must regard the case as hope
less. Surely it isn’t that bad; we
do not have to burn down the house
just to correct certain functional
operations. Nor should we kill and
bury a man to relieve him' of a
headache.
Is the Workman’s Compensation
Act a good law? If the law itself
is sound, then functional irregular
ities should be curable by simple
means.
One method which might be worth
trying would be to publish all cases,
as the Supreme Court does, showing
the amount of the award, and At
torneys representing the claimant,
even by letter or telephone call, and
the attorney’s fee allowed by the
Commission.
One must recognize that practice
before an Administrative Board or
Commission is not carried on as it
is before a Court. Letters, visits
and other means are used which are
not the means used in Court prac
tice. I do not say that this' is
wrong; I merely point it out. The
real test of whether there is Coun
sel is to ascertain whether a fee is
involved either by award of the
Commission or by private agree
ment Adth the injured person.
Neither legal skill nor persuasion,
nor yet political influence should be
necessary to bring about a settle
ment.
Let us hope that the State will
not leave our fellow citizens ma
rooned across the Cooper River. In
the present day concept, it is the
duty of the State to offer the nec
essary facilities of roads and
bridges to enable the citizens to go
about their business. It is neces-
all facilities be provided North,
South and West, at least.
Furthermore, the stream of traf
fic from Georgetown and farther
North should have aik approach to
Charleston.
A narrowly selfish view of those
of us living on Highways 301, and
15 and 52 might be to make hay
while the sun shines, but it would
be a foolish man who would fail to
urge immediate steps to establish
convenient means for getting across
the Cooper river.
I think former Senator Means is
right in interpreting the preroga
tive of the Ports authority as includ
ing the obligation to promote the
trade of the port from whatever dir
ection or source. If the Ports
Authority is empowered to foster and
develop trade with Brazil and
France, the logic of circumstances
argues even more strongly for the
fostering of such commerce as is
now has and which has been inter
rupted by an event which grew
out of an act of God, as the law
would say.
Using the argument of the Su
preme Court in its formative years,
we conclude that the authority to
promote foreign trade certainly
carried the obligation to promote
the necessary means for carrying on
commence. If this seems a bit
high-flown, let us say that Mr.
Means is right and that provision
should be made immediately to en
able coming and going to be unim
peded.
America owes a debt to General
Motors, it seems to me. I have no
interest in General Motors, nor has
it any interest in me; but is las
held out long against the forces of
Communism, aided by the full pow
er of our Government. Would that
it were possible to stand forever
against the social, economic and
pkDfliijical tprmites \Vho iafce eating
out the very heart of America.
Sometimes I wonder why our
people are so apathetic, when grave
issues threaten the security of the
great land that was cleared and set
tled for us as the noblest heritage
ever left to any people.
Strike, strike, threats of strikes!
That is what we hear and dread every
day. How innocent was our poor
Mr. Truman when he inspired all
this. Surely it should teach us to
keep our business, our economic
life, free from all politicians, begin
ning first and foremost with the
President.

MARINES HAVING THEIR
TROUBLES
KYUSHU, Japan.—War or peace,
the Japs still don’t know what to
make of the Marines, and the
Leathernecks admit the confusion is
mutual.
Marine Corps Correspondents re
port Leathernecks felt great pride
upon successfully teaching Japanese
children “God Bless America,” and
"The Marine Corps Hymn”, until
the urchins walked out singing
“Auld Lang Syne” in their native
tonque.
Further embarrassment resulted
when the Leathernecks discovered
that Jap machine oil is kept in
bottles that are exactly like those
containing American beer
But without a doubt the classic is
about the Jap who approached a
Marine Sergeant engaged in the re-
pair of a flat tire on his truck, and
solmenly asked:
“Are you American ? ”
“Yes," anawered the busy driver.
“Do you speak English,” inquired
the Jap. -
