"The
South Carolinian has fire in his head, comfort
in his middle, and a little lead in his feet. Proud
of his past, often scornful of innovations, he
is not willing to adapt unless thoroughly convinced
it is a good thing. Not given to the desperate
pursuit of wealth, he has time for pleasure and
humorous converse. His way of life is leisurely,
despite his slack economic habits; and though
he progresses slowly, he performs his daily task
to the accompaniment of a tune. He knows
his faults, at least many of them. He will
discuss and propose remedies--but woe to the
outsider who reminds him of them. The faults
of his State are as personal to him as a wart
on his nose."

Is the South Carolinian" in South Carolina: The WPA Guide
