Men & Things
B> J. K. 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.
