VOL. 15—NO. 30 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1952 + $150 PER YEAR Secretary Of State Thornton Declares S. C, Leads Nation In Capital Gains Speaking last Friday night be fore the Men’s Fellowship Club of the Lutheran Church of the Re deemer, Hon. O. Frank Thornton, secretary of state, toid the group “we have in South Carolina the greatest state in the nation; the finest place to live and bring up our children and we should take an interest to see that our state re mains in such condition.” Mr. Thornton said that “in the past, a few people have not taken the right view of South Carolina. Sometimes. . .they have tried to place us as a state at the foot of the list in education, in govern ment, in financial ability and in other things.” He went on to stress the fact that South Carolina today stands at the top of the list in per capita income gain from 1948 to 1951 and at the top of the list in industrial expansion from 1948 to 1951; that while the nation operates its government by going in the red millions each day, South Carolina operates its gov ernment on a balanced budget with a surplus in the treasury. The speaker pointed out that South Carolina agriculture no longer depends entirely on cotton; that cotton takes less than 25% of cropland today as against 50% in 1929. He mentioned the in crease in wheat production, peach production and tobacco produc tion. “Between January 1. 1945 and June 30th of this year.” the speak er continued, “we have secured more than 900 new industrial plants, representing a total in vestment of over $440,000,000.” Mr. Thornton pointed out the reasons for industry moving to South Carolina by saying “South Carolina offers inducements to in dustry second to none in the na tion. Our people are intelligent, loyal, and great producers, and they are more than 90% native born . . Besides a great people, we have a mild heathful climate. We have ample raw materials, such as forest woods, cotton, clays, sands and minerals. We have an ample supply of some of the best water on earth. Our tra? sporta- tion system is excellent, includ ing one of the nation’s finest high way systems, with over 13,000 miles of paved highways and three seaports open to the world’s ocean lanes.” The Secretary of State conclud ed his speech by stressing the importance of interest in local, state and national elections.
