Years ago that question was asked, more or less, as a test. I find that I understand less and less. My associa tion with some men throughout the years has prepared me to make many explorations in the pursuit of the truth. For example, a man named X may say something, or adopt a course of action entirely inconsistent with his usual manner and method. You may wonder, lost in a maze of perplexity until you learn that his third cousin’s uncle, or his old classmate said so-and-so; or did so-and-so—and there you are. Of course there is always present the pos sibility of his course being shaped for him by the ladies of the Garden Club, or the Missionary Society, or, else, by a resourceful mother-in-law. That word “resourceful” is quite diplomatic, eh? Well, that doesn’t explain the newspaper stories, for newspapermen hew sharply to the line, utterly without re gard for extraneous considerations. However, don’t you remember that President Eisenhower spoke sharply, even rebukingly, to a newspaperman who asked about the plan to buy a helicopter for the President? Now, then, I’ve read in an A. P. dispatch from Washington of May 1st, carried on the first page of The State of May 2, in part to wit: (and I quote the dispatch) “James C. Hagerty, White House Press Secretary, said ‘Some practical helicopter land ings may be made in the yard of the White House . . . The White House has two helicopters costing $60,000 each on order and plans to use them . . . and also to carry the President to the Washington Airport.” Well, now! . r Does our Government provide out-moded planes and weap ons to the National Guard, while sending the very latest and most modern equipment to the Middle East? A very capable and patriotic member of the National Guard tells me that. Is that a fact, or is it not? By all means it should be investigated. It sounds like training a driver for a 500-horsepower superdooper de luxe in an an cient Model T. I would not say a word against that for an accomplished driver of a Model T was the most versatile operator ever on the highways. He could do more with a piece of string or a bit of haywire or a tin can than most experts of today can do with the most bewildering array of machines and gadget?. The “Model T” revolutionized Am erica and made everybody a mechanic. You’ve heard about the South Carolina Dispensary, per haps. That was the agency of the State which sold all the alcoholic liquors, overlooking bootleggers and moonshin- Prosperity News, MRS. B. T. YOUNQ, Correspondent Dr. and Mrs. Bartowe Culp and their four children of Charleston visited Mrs. Culp’s aunt, Mrs. J. Frank Browne, Sunday. Many people in Prosperity will be interested in the announcement that Miss Mary Jo Schneider of Eau Clair, Wis., a senior at the University of Winsconsin, has been awarded a Fullbright schol arship to study a year in France. Miss Schneider is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schneider, formerly of South Carolina. Mrs. Schneider was Miss Josephine May of Prosperity. Mrs. A. B. Hunt and Mrs. El bert Bowers were business visitors in Columbia Monday. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Leaphart Sr. spent from Sunday till Wed nesday in Saluda, N. C. as guests of Mrs. T. S. Sease. Mr. and Mrs. David Bowers have moved into the Leaphart house on McNeary St. Mrs. S. C. Brissie and her two sons, Robert and George of W oodruff are visiting Mrs. Bris- sie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mills. Mrs. Nan W. Ward of Colum bia, spent last week with her sis ter, Mrs. P. H. Barnes. Lt. Frank C. Wise Jr. and Mrs. Wise spent Sunday with Mr. Wise’s grandmother, Mrs* P. C. Singley. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Riley of Un ion visited Mrs. A. B. Hunt and Mrs. Joe Spotts Sunday. Major and Mrs. Ray Ohlhues and their two daughters, Kay and Jan, are visiting Mrs. Ohlhues’s mother, Mrs. H. E. Counts Sr. for several weeks. Major Ohlhues has been in Alabama but is en route to his new station at Patrick Air Base, Coco, Florida. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Wise of Washington, D. C., arrived Satur day to visit Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Wise, Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Young and Mr. Wise’s sister, Miss Mar guerite Wise, a patient in The Columbia Hospital Mrs. P. W. Smith is the guest of Mrs Elizabeth Eden at Myrtle Beach this week. Mr. ’and Mrs. Charles Jolly of Little Rock, Ark., visited Mrs. Jolly’s aunt, Mrs. W. H. Leap hart Sr. and Mr. Leaphart last Saturday. Sunday guests of the Leapharts were Mr. and Mrs. F. G. James of Taylors. Mrs. Jessie L. Wise of Colum bia spent last Monday with Mrs. J. Frank Browne and Mrs. Lillian W. Harmon. Pam and Freida Wise of West Columbia are spending the week with their grandmother, Mrs. L. J. Fellers. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Langford of Columbia, Mrs. Robert Dar lington and her daughter Ann of Lexington, Ky., were Saturday guests of Misses Susie and Mary Langford. Russell Hill of Chattanooga, Tenn., is spending the week with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Connelly. Mr. and Mrs. F. P Hill Sr. of Charleston spent Sunday with the Connellys and brought Russell, who had been By the way, I have no figures at hand, but I wonder if the State does not receive a lot more money from taxes on liquor, as now sold, than it received in the palmiest (or corniest) days of the State liquor monopoly. Jim Smith, our capable State Auditor, knows everything, he probably could tell us. 1 he effort of our State to operate schools on liquor money was a fizzle, as well as an affort to the dignity of the State. We learn today that the Federal, State, County, Town, and School District governments draw so much money from the electric light companies that it would result in closing our schools if we had what is mis-called Public Power. An organization owned and operated by a Government soon smacks of favors, politics, ineptitudes or something else. When the Government sits back and collects the tax! it has no risk, no loss; it just receives the money. During the recent flim-flamming of Congress by the Post master General many men remarked that any one of a doz en great business enterprises could operate the postal serv- ic and clear a respectable profit. The postal service has many very able employees, many underpaid employees, and many unnecessary services of various sorts in various places. ' I’m getting woozy, carried away by my own loquacity, quite a failing, you know, when one becomes reminiscent. As to that half-pint f.ask, Mr. Edwards says that it was buried in a wall of the ~unk, possibly sixty or seventy years ers. I’ve heard of “X” liquor, once known as “fust X” or “1 X”, but I’ve run across something new to my youthful un derstanding. You know, or have heard of Mr. B. M. Edwards, the great banker. Well, Mr. Edwards always has something pew and fresh to spring on his friends. As we sat in his office recently he jumped up with keen zest and said “Mr. Spectator, I have something you can spectate about. Look at this:” He help up a half-pint liquor flask bearing this inscription: ‘South Carolina State Dispensary; half pint 15 cents. One red star.’ J never heard of one-star Dispensary elixir; and I nev.er had heard of liquor at 15 cents a half pint. This reference need not offend my fans or friends; nor need it quicken anyone’s thirst; this is no liquor ad; this is all of the old evil-smelling days when our State was the big liquor dealer.

While work was under way recently, following the fire, a wall was breached and L.ot-e the buried flask came to light. It had evidently been drained by a bricklayer and thrown away, becoming imbedde . in the wall. Dallas, Texas, published an advertisement telling of the advantages offered by that City to those now bending and groaning under the we.ght of heavy taxation. And here comes Indiana: “Indiania’s Constitution forbids Bonded Indebtedness. Other state and local governments are $50 billion in debt (up 213% since 1946) . . . spending 9 times more for schools, roads, hospitals and sewers than in'1946 . . . and borrowing two-thirds of that money at soaring interest rates while interest alone eats up 7.7 of every 100 tax dol lars! But Hoosiers still ‘pay as they go’! Indiana has NO state debt! l Completely DEBT-FREE INDIANA—comparatively TAX- FREE. No Corporation Tax! No Manufacturer’s Tax! No Net Worth Tax! No Value-Added Tax; No Severance Tax! No ‘Use’ Tax; No Salese Tax! Indiana collects and spends a smaller percentage of its citizens per capital income—-or gets more for its expendi tures—-or both—than ANY other State! No Penalty Tax! NO Nuisance Tax! No Tax on Receipts From Sales in interstate or foreign commerce! Just 3-8 of 1 per cent on gross receipts from sales for processing, re sale, etc., not in interstate commerce; 1V^% <> n other re ceipts derived in Indiana except from sale to ultimate con sumer ( 3-8 of 1%). And Indiana’s unemployment tax is far lower than average! Only one Indiana tax-rate increase in 24 years! No more contemplated. Some of our industries even offer to give money to the state because they feel thy should pay more!” South Carolina is an excellent State, a State of good people; a State which invites industries; A State which wel comes newcomers. We are becoming mindful of taxation, although some of our people advocate more and more spend ing,‘ regardless of the effect of such spending on those who pay the taxes. Happily we are thinking soberly of such matters as taxation. deed TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 Eugene Hentz to Daniel and Ed win Olin Hentz to George Hentz Welborne, one lot on College St., $5.00 love and affection.
