Martin, Manager KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA By GEORGE MocNABB CHIEF OF PUBLIC RELATIONS SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD T r. r* , rV-f ‘ . --T* St. David’s Church, First and Church Streets in Cheraw, famous old South Carolina church, has been used as a hospital in two wars; once by British, once by Confederates. ST. DAVID’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, CHERAW St. David’s Episcopal Church, First and Church Streets, Cheraw, was built from 1770-1773 by a group of Welsh settlers, who named the church after the patron saint of Wales. The cemetery in back con tains the graves of James H. Thorn- well (1812-1862), Presbyterian the-, ologian and president of the State university; and of Bishop Alexander Gregg (1819-1893). The church it self is a small frame building. The square steeple features three arched windows, each set below a balus- traded deck. St. David’s has served as a hospital in two great wars. During the Revo lution, the 71st Scottish Regiment of Cornwallis’ army used the church as a smallpox hospital. Fifty British were victims, and are buried in a mass grave in the cemetery. During the War Between The States, the Confederacy used the church as a hospital. This war left its mark in the form of bloodstains which people claim can still be seen on the floor. The Confederate mon ument, the first of its kind, was erected in 1867. About 1824, the residents of Cheraw staged a minor revolution of their own. The Baptists and Presbyter ians both wanted the church for their services. Finally, when the Baptists were in possession of the church one Sunday morning, the Presbyterians loaded and fired an old Revolutionary cannon. Quickly the Baptist’s preacher dismissed the congregation, and all fled. Later, after the situation had quieted down, Episcopalians came m and,, occupied the church. The Presby terian preacher who was responsible for the cannon episode afterwards wrote regretfully: “While the lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown, up came the puppy dog and knocked them both down.” Thi* it No. 3 In a series of articles to acquaint our readers with South Caroilno ABOVE THE HULLABALOO By Lit!. HULL i**HE NEXT PR r.)! DENT won’t find the same United States :hat the New Deal “took over” in ;932. Twenty years of the drive to ward socia’ism has pretty well eclipsed the old liberty which Amer leans formerly enjoyed. Today the people are enmeshed in a web ol “statism” which can only be al tered by the united efforts of all real Americans led by some genius to whom God and country mear. more than anything and everything Up to now we have enjoyed the wonders which American industry —not the New Deal—has made available to us. But if the welfare state is returned again to power the industries, in the natural course of events, will be taxed to a poim where government will take them ^ver to mairtain their operation Only then will we begin to feel the real pinch, just as England is feel ing it, and as Russia has been feel ing it for 30 years, and as all peo ples have felt it who have espoused socialism. This column has favored Robert Taft as the next President. It be lieves that he would make a fine record. But we are beginning to fee) that to remedy present conditions it is going to require more than a fine President. It is going to require Genius—with a capital G. There are available for the office, which for the next four years is go ing to be by far the most important post in the free world, two great soldiers, each of whom has demon strated genius in his particular line of military endeavor. They are Gen Eisenhower and Gen. Mac Arthur Either one may be a gamble to a certain extent as against Taft’s well known soundness. But this nation and the free world are almost com pelled to gamble in order to sur vive. The “setup” appears to us like this: Taft—sound and in normal times, safe; MacArthur—potential genius in affairs governmental, but handicapped possibly by tge. Eis enhower — potential governmental genius. “Welfare state”—the finish of a once glorious nation. Bible Comment: SCHOOL FOR BRIDES . . .

World Peace Must Be Built on Foundation Of Righteousness TAWS and ideals are one thing; f - * observances and performances are quite another. Nowhere, per haps, in all history were there more idealistic regulations than those to be found in ancient Israel. Yet in spite of these, injustice and oppressions were prevalent. Imagine some thoughtful, intel ligent, hard-working farmer, who understands the conditions upon which our life and welfare de pends, coining into one of our mod ern cities. He would observe the •ease and luxury of those making no real contribution to society, not to mention the evil and corruption that are so flagrant. Then you can understand something of what the prophet Amos was to his times. Amos was a herdsman, accus tomed to clean living. He was roused to indignation by what he saw . . . “the dust of the earth on the head of the poor . . . the righteous sold for a pair of shoes.” He saw the gross immorality of fathers and sons, the turning of judgment to wormwood, and the abandonment of righteousness. He saw the very acts and rites of re ligion perverted, feasts observed and offerings sacrificed by those who had no true observance or sacrifice in their hearts. Amos represents God as saying “J hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your sol emn assemblies.” But he calls for repentance: ‘‘Let judgment run down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.” Don’t we need that call today? The association of righteousness with peace is not accidental. It reminds us of the only true foundation upon which peace can be built, whether it be domestic peace, the solution of industrial troubles or international peace. Organization and negotiation are not enough. We must find, arid build upon, a sure foundation of righteousness. Mrs. Cora W. Shealy Passes Saturday Of Lingering Illness Mrs. Cora Wise Shealy, 70, wife of Olin O’Neal Shealy of Newberry, died late Saturday night at her home on Rivers St. following several years of declin ing health and three days serious illness.
