MONEY IN BUYERS HANDS
First off, it should be emphasiz-
ed that workers earnings have
been climbing steadily ever since
the depressions of the 1930's, with
only an occasional temporary cor
rection. The gains over the past
ten years have been continuously
gratifying, bringing up the stand
ard of living for the country as a
whole. More and more people
have had enough money to put
aside in bank accounts, insurance,
mutual funds, and other forms of
investment.
Since the beginning of 1852, av-
erage weekly earnings as well as
average hourly earnings have ris-
en- over 1910. Even after tax de
ductions, the basic condition and
morale of the wage Garner has
been steadily on the rise. To dem

strong, it should be noted that ov-

TRIBUTE TO BYRNES

Fellow townsmen of South Carolna's
most noted modern statesman recently Gel
ebrated special day in his honor. James
F. Byrnes of Columbia, S. c., who has been
holder of more important governmental
posts than any other living American, is 80.
At this august age he says he is "at peace
with the world and not mad at anybody"
Byrnes started his national career in the
House of Representatives. Then he became
United States Senator, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, chief of rationing and
mobilization in World War III, representa-
tive to the United Nations General Assem-
bly, secretary of state, and finally governor
of South Carolina.
Only one office is lacking, and he once
came near to that. In 1914, when the vice
presidential nomination to run with Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was open, Byrnes almost
got it. Had he had little more support,
he would within year have been President
instead of Harry S. Truman Though his
near success must have been tantalizing, he
showed no resentment, and consented to
head the Cabinet of his victorious rival.
That they did not get on together is no re-
Election on either.
The career of James F. Byrnes has been
among the most distinguished of our time.
He is justly numbered among South Caro-
lina's greatest sons.
