Prosperity Marked Eve Of
South' s Secession 100 Years Ago
When South Carolina trig
gered the secession of South
ern States ? century ago, the
Nation was in a period of
progress and prosperity.
Politically, the months were
violent preceding South Car
olina's withdrawal from the
Union on December 20, 1860.
The North and South had split
into two armed camps, with
opinion hardened on the is
sues of slavery and secession.
But the prewar period also
was. a time of technical in
novation.
Home Lighting Demonstrated
A revolutionary marvel,
home electric lighting, had
been successfully demonstrat
ed. A New York hotel, 10 the
consternation of many guests,
had installed the first passen
ger elevator. The New York
and Erie Railroad had put
into service sleeping cars.
Winchester had produced his
first repeating rifle.
During the summer of 1860,
the Great Eastern, then the
biggest ship afloat, made Its
n alden voyage from England
? New York. The Pony Ex
preas was braving Indians to
speed mail to and from the
West Coast.
The UnitedStates Congress
enacted a bill to establish the
Government Printing Office,
which was to become the larg
est printing establishment in
Ihe world.
In the field of fashion, a
new type of steel hoop light
ened the burden of women's
floor-sweeping skirts. Men's
haircuts cost about 12 cents.
South Carolina, with a non
slave population of 291,000,
particularly was enjoying
prosperity. Ships sailed from
her ports with cargoes of
rice, cotton, and indigo, re
turning with silver, furniture,
silks, books, anfrother luxur
ies.
South Carolina's Low Coun
try was a mosaic of rloh plan
tations in a romantic setting
of majestic rivers, yellow
green marshes, magnolias,
cypress, and pine, of ave
nues of live oak bearded all
over with gray moss.
Plantation life, with Its
chlvalrlc tournaments, deer
hunts, and horse races, bar
becues, and stately balls, was
gracious. But it was far from
Indolent.
Thousand Interests & Objects
"It would be Impossible,"
?rote planter-novelist Wil
liam Gllmore Slmms to a
Northern friend in 1857, "to
give you any just idea of the
thousand interests ft objects
demanding ' constant! care,
watch, thought, and variety of
resource, which flow from the
charge of 70 negroes and
the cultivation of 600 acres of
land; these Involving the use
of 20 horses, half a score of
wagons, as many of carts, a
blacksmith shop, a carp
enter's, cotton gin, screw
threshing houses, and heaven
knows what all besides,"
Many plantation families
spent summers In Charles
ton, the State's oldest city,
or Beaufort. Thiy maintained
handsome town houses of
brick or wood, usually with
spacious piazzas to catch the
sea breeze.
Charleston impressed an
Englishman, traveling In the
South during the great plan
tation era, as one of America's
first cities and "one In which
the conveniences of luxury are
most to be met with."
Not long before the winds
of war were to blow away
peace and prosperity, the
young mistress of Belvedere
plantation confided, in a let
ter to a friend, "We Intended
going to Charleston next week
but I feel rather doubtful about
it . . J would be sorry to give
>4> the trip for the beau-pere
has engaged rooms for us at
the Charleston Hotel. I could
not go at a better time for the
beau-pere will have his car
riage and horses and servants
there. . .

Traffic Situation -
Great Unsolved
Social Problem
Paul Jones Isn't ? preach
er, but be preached a sermon
recently.
He wondered what things will
be like out on the nation's
highways In another ten years.
Will there be room to park
your car, much less to drive
It? How fast and how far will
you drive? And what about thf
traffic toll?
Mr. J ones had some pretty
good answers since he Is the
recently retired chief of pub
lic information for the Nat
ional Safety Council.
He visualized a swarm of
100 million cars, trucks, bus
es, and what-not thronging the
highways In 1970 - half agali
as many as are out there now.
They will ve driven a tril
lion miles a year by 120 mil
lion drivers.
Placed end to end, the)
would form a solid line of
traffic 385,400 miles long -
IS times the distance around
the world and equivalent to a ,
traffic Jam along US 66, for
example, of 190 cars abreast
every foot of the way from
Chicago to Los Angeles.
Mr. Jones' sermon contin
ued: "'And what Is the price
in human life and cold cash
that we may have to pay for
all this?
"Well, unless we do better
in the next 10 years than we
are doing now, there will be
a traffic toll in 1970 of 55.000
deaths and two million injur
ies. And the cost will be about
nine pillion dollars!
"It is obvious, therefore,
that the traffic situation is
one of the great unsolved
social problems of our times.

Air Force Captain
Makes Record Jump
From Edge Of Space
Traveling 18 1/12 miles In
13 minutes, 45 seconds, may
not seem much of a feat. But
when the trip Is straight down
by parachute jump from the
threshold of space. It becomes
at once a daring contribution
to science and a new world
record.
Capt. Joseph W. Klttlnger,
Jr.. of the United States Air
Force, made the high Jump
last August from a baloon
floating over New Mexico,
Writing of his adventure
In an article endded "The
Long, Lonely Leap" he tells
how It feels to reach a height
of 102,800 feet ready to step
out Into emptiness.
"There Is a hostile sky
above me," he said In a mes
sage to the ground crew.
"Man will never conquer
space. He may live In It, but
he will never conquer It. The
sky above Is void and very
black and very hostile."
Though Captain Klttn
ger's drop was a solitary one.
It necessitated the teamwork
of men trained in may fields
- space medicine, weather, and
electronics, radio, radar, and
photography:
For protection against lack
of oxygen and intense cold.

either failed, he would have
become unconscious in 10 or
12 seconds; death would have
followed within two minutes.

miles between lubrication!
30, 000 is the most famous num
ber of the year. It's every 'f>l
Ford owner's license to save.
How can Ford do it? Conven
tional chassis lubrication fit
tings have been replaced with
metal plugs that help protect
? each lubrication point against
abrasive mud, dirt and dust.
And then, for only about $4
and about 20 minutes your Ford
is ready for another 30.000!
This is just one of the many
ways the "61 Ford is built to
take care of itself. Your Ford
Dealer can show you more.

HERE'S HOW THE '61 FORD
TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
lubricate* itself? You'll normally go 30,000 mile*
between chassis lubrication* (which cost only about
$4.00 ami take, about 2?? minutes) because Ford
has replaced convcntion.il grease fittings with a
sealed- in lubrication system.
('.leans its own oil ? You'll go 4,000 mile* between
oil changes because Ford's Full-Flow oil filter give* A
you tiltr.ition through fibers . . . trapping more dirt J]
than any other type of filter made.
Adjusts its own brakes? New Truck S in brakes ;jT
adjust themselves ? aiiiontitmally.
(?uards its own muffler ? Ford mufflers arc double* jjj
?wrapped and alumini/ed to last three times as long ?
as ordinary muffler*.
Protects its own body ? All vital underbody parts j
are specially processed to resist rust and corrosion, ]
even to galvanizing the body panels beneath Um *
door*.
Takes care of its own finish? Just wash and dean
Ford's new Diamond l.usire Finish and it continues
to glisten like new. It ne%rr needs waxing.
