BREEDIN We used to hear a great deal about the greatness and the glory of our country. What has happened to dampen the bouy- ant spirit that seemed to pre vail from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Texas through Maine'. 1 There seems to be a general discontent and that is dealing a hard blow to our prosperity. Business thrives on peace and order and a buoyant hope. When business does not thrive we have an atmosphere that seems to dry up all our ambitions. We Americans today are marching without hope and enthusiasm. What is the remedy? From Massachusetts and New York we hear of nothing encouraging, business is asleep; how can it be aroused 9 I can see clearly and so cnrr yon. but what can we do 9 One thing we can do is to stop talking about the depres sion; we carry on the depres sion day by day talking about it and it is carried on by the people of all levels in our country. One thing occurs to me: we might try to remember the Great Jehovah in our life; He is the maker of all things, and the world was made by Him; but we, as managers of the world, have failed in our ef fort to rely on our own wisdom.' I am not being just a weak ling in this great world. I have come to recognize my own in capability for the great things of life, for in my weakness T see that we have not tapped the great source of power and call ed for help on the Maker of all things. I need nc call your attention to what springs up all around us; trees, plants, flowers, fruit, etc. What is the source of their life? Some days ago a gentleman called me on the telephone and asked for some information for his son (a young man at school). He wanted to know something about the counties of York, Greenwood and Mc Cormick. So it occurs to me that it might be interesting to others about some counties. The general impression that my friends Edgar Brown and Sol Blatt w r ere the first settlers in Barnwell County is a mistake. Barnwell County is named for the Barnwell family. Richland, evidently appeared to be rich land. Sumter County named for Gen. Thomas Sumter. Claren don County named for the Earl of Clarendon, one of the Lord’s Proprietors; Charleston County named for King Charles.
