THE “SPECTATOR'S” COLUMN
Do you know South Carolina?
Well, now, think it over: What
do you know? You’ve been to
Charleston. Columbia, Greenville,
Spartanburg, Anderson. What
about Sumter, Florence, Beaufort,
Aiken ?
Thousands of our people have
been to Columbia, manv as stu
dents of Carolina, Columbia Col
lege; some visiting the State
House, our inspiring Capitol. Such
visits show us broad streets, but
Columbia’s real beauty is not
seen by those who make casual
trips to principal thoroughfares;
much of Columbia’s beauty is
found on cross streets, gardens,
homes — streets between Devine
Street and the extension of Tay
lor street. That isn’t all by any
means, but it is a section not
seen by casual visitors, as a rule.
Col mbia is fortunate in all ap
proaches, whether you come from
"West Columbia, or the Veterans
Hospital, or North Columbia.
If you come by South Colum
bia you see not beauty, but the
new developments for business,
including the State Fair, the big
Market, the State newspaper, and
two score of big commercial en
terprises. Of course there are
beauty spots, gardens, fine homes
throughout the city.
Columbia has a radio station—
WNOK, which honors me by
carrying my message.
Now, then, what about Charles
ton ? W r hat do you see on your
business trip or casual visit? You
enter by King street, Meeting
street, Rutledge Avenue, but you
are impressed by some homes
and small gardens, but what else?
Entering by Meeting street and
King street you see places of
business but not much of beauty
until you are nearing the Battery.
The Battery is a noble park, a
place .of rare attraction and dig
nified elegance; it would be not
able in any city as a park of
surpassing appeal. But the Bat
tery is not all that Charleston
treats us to: Charleston has more
parks and play grounds through
out the city than half a dozen
cities of its size.
Some years ago I was riding
through parts of Charleston and
stopped for a while at Hampton
park. My friend, an up-State
businessman, said, “Well, this
town certainly gives something to
the taxpayers.”
I have not touched on some fa
miliar places, such as St. Machaels
Church, or Magnolia Cemetery. I
might tell you that Charleston, in
the English tradition, has wond
rous enchantment in scores of
private gardens, in the rear of
the homes, shut off from the pub
lic.
Throughout Charleston are many
magnificent residences, some of
bygone days of elegance and
sumptuous living. Not all are on
the Battery, but throughout the
city, here and there are lordly
residences, even on East Bay,
Charlotte Street, Ashley Avenue
and scores of other sites, some
a bit remote both in time and
place.
Charleston has a great radio-
TV center—W’SSC which honors
me by carrying my message.
One needn’t confine his mind
to history in Charleston. It is
wide-awake and progressive to
day, up and doing. The Citadel,
even alone, would be a treat to
visit and it is modern.
Greenville and Spartanburg are
centers of industry and learning,
with fine residences and some
parks. These cities are the seats
of Wofford College and Converse
—both in Spartanburg; Furman
University and Bob Jones are in
Greenville, sometimes referred to
as the Athens of South Carolina.
The great textile industry a-
bounds in Greenville and Spartan
burg, notably but in virtually ev
ery other large community in our
Piedmont area.
The subject grows on me. I
haven’t time or space for all the
growing cities of upper South
Carolina—Anderson and Green
wood, for example, so I must give
consideration to Florence and
Sumter. Our people of the flour
ishing Piedmont probably don’t
know much of these cities. Flor
ence, I think, has the best back- I
i country of any town in our state. 1
From Florence to Darlington, or
to Timmonsville, or to Lake City
the agricultural possibilities are
[ illimitable.
Florence was long regarded as
, a great railroad center—and it
still is; but it has become indus-
trialized and is today a number
one center of agriculture, a rail
road center and a site of several
industries and industrialized de
velopments.
Consider the location of Flor
ence: ten miles from the city of
Darlington, County Seat of Dar
lington county, one of the sound
est counties in the state, home of
Hartsville, a great town and con
stantly growing. Darlington also
has Society Hill, named by the
Welsh for the Society of Saint
David.
Florence has Timmonsville a-
bout ten or 12 miles west — one
of the best toWns and a great to
bacco center, both for growing
and marketing tobacco. Then
Florence has Lake City—a thriv
ing tobacco center. There are oth
er tobacco centers: Pamblico, and
Johnsonville.
So Florence has a roseat future.
Incidentally it has a great radio
station—WJMX which carries my
message every week.
I should include Orangeburg a-
mong our principal centers, but
South Carolina has too much for
me to cover all the ground. It
verily is an embarrassment of
riches for I should have a full
week to tell all that even I know,
and I cannot claim to know inti
mately all that there is to be
seen in South Carolina.
We come to Sumter, the Game
cock city, and up-and-doing city of
vigorous find resourceful citizens.
Sumter has much rich land and
is near enough to Clarendon and
Lee counties to draw on them,
too—altogether an abounding
area.
Sumter is a city of industry,
but its chief glory is its fighting
spirit and vigorous resourceful
ness.
Sumter has some beauty, too, an
entrancing lake and some stately
homes. As I know Sumter, from
long and intimate relationship, its
chief attraction is the never-die
spirit of its people.
Sumter has all that you would
expect of a thriving city and
the spirit of progress.
Radio station WFIG carries my
messages every week and has so
honored me since the first month
of the establishment of the Sta
tion. Incidentally I was baptized
in the First Baptist church of
Sumter and have long cherished
a special fellowship with that
fine community, although I do
not live there.
I am postponing my tribute to
other cities because I must annoy
you with some of the news of
the political turmoil of the day.
If those ancient worthies, Geo.
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, even Chief Justice
Marshall, could read the papers,
they would marvel at the high
handed course of President John
son.
True it is that Mr. Roosevelt
set the example of pushing the
Constitution aside when it stood
between him and whatever he
wanted to do. But, in all sincerity,
Mr. Roosevelt was an enthusiastic
defender of the Constitution, when
compared with President Johnson.
Let us see, for one little exam
ple.
The Constitution called for a
Federal district to be subject to
Congress. But, on advice of the
lawyers of the Department of
Justice, there is no breach of the
Constitution in setting up home-
rule for Washington.

hall apartments.

’66 FORD CARS
BE DISPLAYED
ON FRIDAY
Three new series of Ford cars,
the 1966 Ford, 1966 Fairlane, and
1966 Falcon, will go on display
at Shealy Motor Company here
and in Prosperity tomorrow. The
Fairlane series has been com
pletely restyled and redesigned
for this year. Other features of
this car and other Fords, outlined
by Elmer Shealy, Ford Dealer,
follows:
An exciting new “his and hers”
Sportshift automatic transmission,
two new model series, three big
new engines, new convertibles and
completely new styling highlight
the Fairlane for 1966.
“In completely re-engineering
and re-styling the medium-sized
Fairlane for the first time since
its introduction as a 1962 model,
improved nimbleness and roomin
ess have led many owners to think
of their Fairlanes as family sports
cars,” Ford Motor Company offi
cials say.
The new model selection—four
series instead of two and 13 mod
els instead of eight—is indicative
of the broadened family and sports
appeal of the 1966 Fairlane.
The Fairlane series retains 2-
and 4-door sedans and a 4-door
station wagon, while the Fairlane
500 series is broadened to include
five models—2- and 4-door se
dans, a 2-door hardtop, a conver
tible and a 4-door station wagon.
The Fairlane Squire station
wagon, with distinctive simulated
wood trim, returns to the lineup
for 1966. All Fairlane station wag
ons for 1966 have a new, dual-ac
tion tailgate that may be opened
eother as a tailgate for loading
cargo, or as a door for passenger
entry without the need of step
ping over a tailgate.
The 1966 Fairlane doors are de
signed with new, thin, curved
window frames and inboard wea
therstrip retention to reduce wind
noise.
The 1966 Ford Fairlane is a
strong expression of new, sporty
and distinctive styling for a med
ium-sized car. The design epito
mizes youthful flair, but tailored
touches of formality continue to
suggest the outstanding quality
that has been a Fairlane hall
mark.
Five engines are available with
the 1966 Fairlanes. The standard
engine for all models except those
in the Fairlane GT series is the
200-CID Six. Standard engine
for Fairlane GT and GT-A models
is fi 390-CID four-barrel V8 rated
at'335 horsepower.
1966 FALCON
Drawing upon the two most
successful cars ever" introduced—
the Mustang and the Falcon—
Ford Division of Ford Motor Co.
has combined trend-setting fea
tures of both in the 1966 Falcon.
“It took the Mustang to de
throne the Falcon as the most
popular new car in automotive
history,” said Walter T. Murphy,
Division general marketing man
ager. “For 1966—with the most
sweeping changes since its rec
ord-setting introduction — the
Falcon in effect becomes a family
Mustang.”
Noting the Mustang touches in
the 1966 'Falcon styling—long
hood, short rear deck, rear quar
ter “hop-up” and round wheel
openings—Mr. Murphy emphasiz
ed that traditional Falcon fea
tures also have been retained and
improved.
The Falcon line-up for 1966 con
sists of 10 models in three series.
Included are 2- and 4-door sedans
and 4-door station wagons in
Falcon and Futura series, and a
new Falcoln Futura Sports coupe.
The new Futura Sports coupe
has as standard equipment wider
bucket seats, an accent paint
stripe, deluxe wheelcovers with
knock-off hubs, 14 inch wheels,
and the 200-CID six cylinder en
gine.
New safety features standard
on all 1966 Falcons include out
side rear-view mirror, back-up
lights, padded dash and visors,
rear seat belts, windshield wash
ers and emergency flashers. New
Falcons also feature a thicker
laminate windshield which has
been shown to provide added pro
tection in the event of a collision.
Dramatic fresh styling—includ
ing a new 2-door hardtop roof
line—a new “7 Litre” series with
Rev. and Mrs. Ralph E. Rhyne
have moved to 614 Cromer street
to make their horiie while a new
personage is being erected at the
same location as the old parson
age on Main street in front of the
West End Baptist church.

DART FOR 1966—Dodge offers 20 models for 1966 in the Dart line, largest of the
compacts. Featuring bold new styling and a number of safety and convenience innova
tions, choices include station wagons, sedans, hardtops and the sporty^Dart GT
Convertible, shown above. Front wheel disc brakes are an option on the 1966 Dart.
' 428-cubic-inch V8 engine and
front-wheel power disc brakes,
and even higher standards of
quietness, luxury and performance
stand out among 1966 Ford fea
tures.
“The Ford was all-new just a
year ago,” said M. S. McLaugh
lin, Ford Division assistant man
ager. “It ^presented the greatest
tooling investment in Division his
tory and was superior in ride and
quietness to some of the world’s
finest cars.”
“In every sense, we had a sound
competitive base for 1966 but we
chose not to stand still. On that
solid foundation we have built still
more safety, convenience, quiet
ness and performance into all the
1966 Fords.”
Important revisions have been
made in the revolutionary Ford
suspension design introduced in
1965 to prvide an even quieter
ride and better handling in 1966.
The number of engines available
to Ford buyers has been increased
to nine in 1966 from six in 1965.
Ford pioneering in station-wag
on design also continues in 1966.
To the dual center-facing rear
seats and built up rear window
deflector introduced last year has
been added a new standard equip
ment dual-action tailgate.
New safety features standard on
all 1966 Fords include outside
rear-view mirror, backup lights,
padded dash and visors, rear seat
belts, windshield washers, and
emergency flashers. New Fords
also feature a thicker laminate
windshield which has been shown
to provide added protection in the
event of a collision.
