COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
National Bible Week comes every year. “The Bible,” is
“The Book.” It is found everywhere, even if not always read,
but dusted off just for the visit of theminister. Whether it
be the Bible of our Catholic brethren or the Saint James ver
sion—the same revelations of God is found in all its simpli
city and appeaL
We associate The Bible with our mothers, those saintly
characters who must nearly approach the Master in every
day life.
During several centuries The Bible has been found in most
homes, a constant source of inspiration, telling of our God,
a very present help in time of trouble.
One may study The Bible in critical fashion; or he may
wish to be informed; but the fervent believer reads it to
bring himself into close communion with the Most High.
“Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all genera
tions. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever
thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from ever
lasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
We hear that frequently at funerals, but the message is
to us, not to the departed. What ineffable joy and comfort
and sustaining grace flow from that Psalm, usually attribut
ed to Moses.
And then the sweet words of David: “-The Lord is my
Shepherd; I shall not want . . . Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou
art with me . . .”
If we turn to Job, in all his affliction we read: “The Lord
Gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name
of the Lord.”
Those sturdy figures were men of faith; they had not
seen God, though Moses was with Him in the cloud on
Sinai.
We have words of Jesus, the Son of God, the second per
son in the Trinity, words spoken to men while He was living
and going about on the earth: “Come unto me, all ye that
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
In my Father’s house are many mansions; ... I go to
prepare a place for you, . . . that where I am there you may
be also.” I am the way, the truth and the life.”
“He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live.”
If we tried to formulate a prayer, two prayers from the
old Testament seem to embrace everything, for God is not
moved by long-winded exhortations and vain repetitions.
This, my favorite, from Nehemiah: Prosper, I pray thee,
thy servant, this day.” And another—“Let the words of
my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable
in Thy sight, 0 Lord, my strength andi my Redeemer.”
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.” ^ ~ *
I trust I do not weary you by my frequent references to
Socialism, but this great Nation was developed by individ-
^als, not by Government bureaucrats, whether sometimes
capable or often rather unpractical men chasing unsound
theories. ' 1 J? T V
The tendency to look to Washington, or to go to Washing
ton, or to appeal to Washington has so enfeebled us that
TVe become supine while waiting for the Government to do
something for us.
As I cited last week, the Socialist Party in 1923 had a
program for taking over of our mines, rail roads and power
utilities. Along came Mr. Roosevelt with great enthusiasm
and like the people spoken of in the Bible, looking for some
thing new, and he was persuaded to swallow hook, line
and sinker many of the schemes of the Socialists, especially
the plan to control electric power as the surest way to con
trol all industry.
Do you recall the song of Moses and the children of Is
rael following the deliverance from the Egyptians?
“The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my
salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habita
tion; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”
What treasury of faith we find in The Book.
The mutual promise is set forth in one of the sweetest
hymns I know, both music and words:
“0 Jesus, thou hast promised
To All who follow thee,
That where thou are in glory
There shall thy servant be;
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
0 give me grace to follow,
My master and my friend.”

Form.
Just 14 years after the Socialists had announced their
plan to ‘take over’ the electric power industry, a solid nuc
leus of government-built hydro-electric projects were being

That Socialists were jubilant at the progress being made
is indicated by this quotation from their own magazine.
Our Dreams Come True
Our Plan for a Public Superpower System for the United
States Outlined and Published in 1923 Slowly but
Surely Being Realized
Pioneers of Public Power
‘Step by step this plan which the Public Ownership
League presented and published fifteen years ago is being
surely and steadily realized.’
‘The Tennesssee Valley has become an outstanding reality
and its achievements steadily mounting. Boulder Dam has
been finished . . . The Bonneville power system on the
lower Columbia River - is nearing completion . . . Grand
Coulee is under construction and well on the way. Exactly
the goal which the League set up fifteen years ago ...
‘Pursuant to this plan . . .they propose to divide the
nation into seven districts as indicated by the map: (1) the
Tennessee Valley in the Southeast; (2) the Atlantic Sea
board to the East; (3) The Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
in the Central North; (4) the Arkansas Valley in the Cen
tral South; (5) The Missouri Valley in the Middle West and
North; (6) The Columbia River Valley in the Northwest;
and (7) The Colorado Valley with Boulder Dam in the
Southwest.’
‘Members of the Public Ownership League and its friends
throughout the country may justly take courage and inspir
ation from the progress SO FAR made.’
The efforts, to seize control of the nation’s electrical
industry is no longer masked with the pretense of providing
‘cheap power’ through hydro-electric development. The final
step in turning the Socialist dream into reality is that of in
terconnecting federally-owned generating stations into a
nationwide politically-controlled transmission network that
will extend the sphere of subsidized government completion
into every area of the nation.
There are existing and proposed government-financed
transmission lines. They are built mainly by super-coop
eratives and financed by funds authorized by Congress for
local REA Cooperatives. Using tax money to attack free en
terprise, they duplicate existing transmission lines of the
business-managed power companies.
The Secretary of the Interior—Oscar Chapman—boldly
declared that the government ‘is moving ahead at a record
rate in setting up facilities for the trunk line transmission
of power from plants now operating and under construction.’
The questions squarely before the American people are:
Do they realize how fast they are being led into socialism of
their basic industry? Do they endorse these efforts to
create a federal power bureaucracy whose objective would
be to duplicate and compete with the second largest taxpay
ing industry of the Nation?
Already more than one-third of the nation has been plac
ed under federal power administrators who have practically
arbitrary powers over the marketing of politically-generated
power in great regions of the country. Two of these regional
oower dictatorships, SWPA and SEP A, (responsible neither’
to state nor local governing bodies) were created by order
of the Department of the Interior when Congress refused to
endorse more Power Authorities such as TV A and Bonne
ville . . Is this disregard of the will of the representatives
of the people in accordance with American tradition?
The attack against free enterprise in the power business
is not based on the shortcomings or failure of business-man-
iged companies to provide the public with adequate service
at fair rates. It is deeply rooted in the philosophy of those
who seek a nationalized, politically-controlled monopoly of
.he country’s economy in place of the free choice, competi-
ive system that has made America great. The electric
power industry, although first on the list to be nationalized,
has more than made its contribution to the public interest
and the common welfare of the nation.”
Do you want the Socialists in Washington to boss every
thing?

FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Ciemson Extension Information Fpoolslist
COLLETON PLANTING PINES
County Agent Alford of Colle
ton tells me farmers in that coun
ty have ordered enough pine seed
lings to set 4,578 acres this winter.
That's 4 percent of the open crop
land in the county, and as many
pines as they have set out in the
past 5 years, he tells me.
Interest in trees is sure grow
ing. And rightly so. For these are
tree lands. They were in trees be
fore we came here and cut ’em
down. Now we are putting ’em
back to their original use.
Once trees were worth little.
But now they represent growing
values that rival average incomes
from crops. And about all you
have to do to get that is keep
fire out of 'en^ and cut ’em sen
sibly.
Rogers of Allendale tells me of
similar heavy bcokings of trees
by farmers there. And the same
holds in many others too.
WATER!
I spent some time with a lead
ing irrigation engineer out West.
He told me, “Water’s the darndest
thing.” And he then told me of
tho endless problems with it. It
has its own laws of behavior. We
study them, work with it, and try
to make it serve its many life-giv
ing purposes.
Water is at home only in the
sea. And it’s always trying to get
back there. You dam it up for fu
ture use when intermittent rains
bring it to the land. If it can find
a way out, it will. Just let it find
the tiniest soft spot and it will
work on it constantly. Soon there
will be a trickle through. It gets
bigger. And soon the dam is. un
dermined and washes away, letting
the impounded waters race back
to the sea.
Once this strong-minded stuff
we call water didn’t bother us
much. Enough of it soaked in our
vast wooded areas to keep streams
aflow and satisfy our needs for
underground water. But with the
cutting of the forests* drainage,
and clearing of the swamps, it has
been hurrying back to the sea, un
impeded. So in our time we have
lived to see water, good fresh and
usable water, become growingly
scarce. And now we are making
our first moves to conserve it and
get it back into the ground.
Reforestation, sodding, contour
farming, ponds and reservoirs and
the like are all a part of this.-Once
farm ponds were scarce. Now you
see ’em at every turn. In fact, >n
many communities the majority of
farms have them. They are for va
ried purposes of recreation (swim
ming and fishing), stock-water,
and irrigation. But the latter are
the main two.
COB PIPES
I had wondered where the corn
cob pipes came from. On a trip
last summer I found out, Wash
ington, Missouri. Several large
factories there make ’em, as they
have for many years. Folks must
still use a lot of ’em, for they
were still turning ’em out,
A HOLIDAY TRIP-
WILD GEESE
I can think of no more interest
ing trip at this- season, or for
Thanksgiving or Christmas, than
to the Gaddy farm at Ansonville,
N. C. For there you will see" one
of the strangest sights in the
world. Wild gees?. Not by the tens
nor hundreds, but by the thous
ands! Yes, and about as tame as
barnyard geese too. You throw
corn to them and they cover acres
out there from you. And some of
’em will even come and eat com
out o£ you hands!
They come on full moon in Octof
her and leave when it is full m
March. The government used to
help feed them. But that Was cut
off some years, ago. So now she
has to charge a small admission to
help buy the 30 to 40 bushels of
com they have to be fed each day
to keep that many in one area.
They feed out from there, for
geese have to have green feed
too. With the com she feeds, some
fifteen thousand find a pleasant
winter there as Mrs. Gaddy’s
guests.
Ansonville is just above Wades-
boro. And Wadesboro is just
across the line from out Lancaster
and Chesterfield.
