Men & Things
b> J. K. £reeihn
“The earth is the Lord’s and
the fullness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein. For
He hath founded it upon the
seas, and established it upon the
floods."
Do you believe that 1 ? Have you
any idea of the extent of what
we call the earth'’ The vast
multitude of things on the
earth, the things under the earth
and under the sea.
Wonderful provisions made by
God for humanity: trees, grass
es, fruits, and minerals.
Just to think of a few amid
the great multitude: “fire-wood"
lumber, coal, oil, still stand to
day almost paramount, for we
bring in and ship out millions
of tons of coal and hundreds
of millions of tons of oil; many
millions of tons of coal are still
shipped from Great Britain as
well as from the United States;
oil in incredible quantities is
now found in many places of
the world, recently in a vast
outpouring from Alaska. There
is a search for oil all over the
world all the time.
Traveling across the conti
nent just a few years ago I
saw flares burning for many
miles but afterwards those burn
ing flares of gas not there be
cause the gas was -utilized To
day so much gas is brought
from the west to the east that
gas is highly important even in
South Carolina. I think most of
the gas for this State is brought
in by the South Carolina Gas
and Electric Company. I may
mention one little item: a big
industry wishes to operate in
Georgetown and asks that the
South Carolina Eelectric and
Gas Company have its gas line-
serve Georgetown whien It lias
agreed to do at a cost of four
million dollars.
One of our greatest resources
is our abundant supply of el
ectricity; taking the nation as
a whole our greatest source of
wealth must be our available
development of electricity; and
that applies to South Carolina
also. Just to give you an idea
our one wholly South Carolina
source of electricity is South
Carolina Electric & Gas Com
pany. This Company has in
creased its investment in thirty-
odd years from one hundred
million dollars to nearly six
hundred million dollars.
We have great resources in
fruit and agriculture and truck
ing. Also among our resources
are our churches and preachers,
remembering always the dedi
cated life of our tradition.
Our people, as a whole, are
a fine body—almost pure Amer
ican stock. It is said that South
Carolina has the largest per
centage of pure American blood
of any other State in the Union;
and I would not overlook the
very fine men who direct the
vast industrial life of the State.
PROTECTED?
Hardly! A judgment far $85,000, due to an
auto accident far exceeded the limits of his
liability insurance.
These days, it is the duty of an agent to
point out the hazard of inadequate cover
age, the low cost of extra protection. Advice
that comes from years of experience is an
extra dividend.
We would like to be your agent.

"Whatsoever Things'
By DONALD E WILDMON
A PRICELESS TREASURE
Copyrisrht, 1969, Donald E. Wildmon
There is something of far more
worth than fine gold. There is some
thing to be treasured more than pre
cious rubies. There is something which
does more healing than all the miracle
drugs. And, yes, there is something
of more value than all the money this
world offers.
What is this thing of which I speak?
Why, friendship, of course. For the
most precious thing a man can have
is friends. And the more friends one
has, the richer he is. Poor, indeed, is
the man who is friendless, He is to be
pitied.
How can one acquire friends? What
magic formula can one use to get rich
with friends? Well, the only way in
the world that one can gain friends is
to be friendly. You see, the old law
that we have spurned is true. When
you give, you get. So it is that when
you give friendship, you get a friend.
Friendship Isn't Free
Now don’t fool yourself into think
ing that friendship is free. It most
certainly is not. It is an expensive
thing. It requires appreciation, sacri
fice, and even the most costly of vir
tues—love. You must pay a high price
for friendship. But in return you get
a high profit in friends.
Sometimes we miss the beauty of
this thing we call friendship. How was
it that Ralph Waldo Emerson said it:
“The glory of friendship is not the out
stretched'hand, nor the kindly smile,
nor the joy of companionship; it is the
spiritual inspiration that comes to one
when he discovers ^hat someone else
believes in him and is willing to trust
him with his friendship.” Friendship
is spiritual inspiration that comes
when someone believes in you, is pull
ing for you and willing to trust you
to the uttermost. Can you see now why
friendship is to be valued so?
It lifts our sagging spirits to know
that someone cares, that someone is
concerned about us. I guess that is the
reason that we can never have a friend
who is as good a friend as the Naza-
rene. He cares about us. He trusts us.
He believes in us. He is our greatest
Friend.
Friendship And Love
Friendship, you see, is born of love.
Where there is no love, there can be
no friend. That’s the reason His friend
ship is to be cherished above all others.
For He did not give up on us even
when we did our worse—at the Cross.
Someone has said that a friend is
one who comes in when the whole
world goes out. The rebellious young
man we call the Prodigal Son learned
who his friend was in this manner.
When everyone else has forsaken us,
our friends will be beside us. That’s
what friends do. “A friend of publi
cans and sinners." When no one else
would have anything to do with them,
He still loved them.
Well, we said friendship is priceless.
And it is. So make all the friends you
can. But remember this, to make a
friend you must be a friend.
—FIVE STAR FEATURES
Obscene mail
bill introduced
by Bryan Dorn
Congressman Bryan Dorn ap
peared before the Operations
Subcommittee of the House Post
Office and Civil Service Com
mittee last week concerning the
increasing flow of obscene mat
erial through the U. S. mail.
Dorn told the committee “Con
stituents from every section of
my Congressional District have
sent me shocking material they
Lave received through the maT
unsolicited." Dorn said, “Some
of this obscene filth is being
received by children 8 years of
age."
"For too long”, Dorn said,
“we have heard the cry of the
infringement of the right of
free speech. But the so-called
right of free speech is not ab
solute. The cry of free speech
has been heard so often and so
loud that we have become deaf
to the pleas in the name of
common decency.”
Dorn expressed alarm that
“a person’s name, without his
knowledge, could appear on
lists purchased from companies
who specialize in compiling and
selling such lists to anyone cap
able of paying the price."
Dorn has introduced legisla
tion to protect the privacy of
the American home from the
invasion by mail of provocative
material and to prohibit the use
of the United States mails to
disseminate material harmful to
minors. Briefly, it would attack
the pornography in the home
problem by prohibiting use of
the mails to send sexually pro
vocative materials (1) to any
home whose householder has not
asked for them, and (2) to a
minor in any state having laws
against dissemination of obscene
materials to minors. Congress
man Dorn said, “in controlling
the flow of smut, it would place
the burden on the purveyor,
rather than on the Post Office
or the Department of Justice.
My bill provides for fines up to
$50,000 or imprisonment of up
to five years, or both, for vio
lations.

DELIVERS PAPER
Dr. A. P. Mature, head of the
department of modern language
at Newberry College, delivered
a paper Saturday at the annual
meeting of the Mountain Inter
state Foreign Language Confer
ence at the Asheville campus
of the University of North Caro
lina.
He talked on “El Ente de Fic-
cion Liberado en el Teatro de
Miguel de Unamuno," (The
Fictional Free Entity in the
Theatre of Miguel de Unamuno).
Unamuno, who lived from 1867-
1936, is considered by many to
be Spain’s greatest literary fig
ure since Cervantes.
