FORMER BARNWELL MAN k. vTr 'Editor ond Qoooro/Monnmtr will Rocmt r* : Floral Beach, beautiful strip of Horry strand, situate between Mur rell’s Inlet and Myrtle Beach, has been boupht from George Holliday, of Galivant’s Ferry, by a former Barn well man and a group of Columbian!, who already have their plans laid to make it the delightful summer' and winter resort that tfOatural advan tages and Tattractions warrant. In telling of the proposed development, The State, under date of May 9th, had the, following to say: J. D. Caldwell and R. D. McClure returned yesterday from the beach after closing the deal and gave the announcement' that Ihe transfer, which had been pending for some time, had been made. With them are: R. A. Easterling, of Denmark, R. M. Caldwell, L. A. Emerson, B. T .Bodie, J. B. Urquhart, Robect Childs and others. A charter has been issued under the name, “Floral Beach,” of which J. D. Caldwell is president, Mr. Easterling is vice president, and Mr. McClure is the secretary and treasurer. The deal involves 2,000 'acres, which nature has richly endowed. Sitting in a cove, so to speak, the strand, 1,900 feet wide, slopes gent ly. There are no sand dunes. Back of the broad sweep of the Atlantic, there is a forest of live oaks and pines and mingled here and there The BULL’S EYE is a publica tion that goes to print. When does it go to print? It goes to print when ever there is something to print. A lot of papers, in fact to be exact, all of them, have a certain time to be issued, regardless of the news. If nothing has happened that day or that week the)’ have to come out just the same. They want you to pay for them whether they are any good to you or not. Why should a paper be printed if there is noth- ‘ ing hew to print ? Sing Sing don’t electrocute a man at a certain hour every day. They wait until they get a good man and then electrocute him They don’t have a set time or custom, and that is the way the BULL’S EYE is operated. We don’t go to press at ten o’clock tonight just be cause we went to press at ten last night. No, sir! We wait until we have something that is worth while to our myriads of readers. We get them accustomed to the fact that when they see the BULL’S EYE, they say to themselves, “The BULL has seen something worth while,’’ and that is why the Paper is out today. Because it has news for you. We saw a man smoking a sack of “BULL” DURHAM and he was getting so much satisfaction out of it that we feel it our duty to tell those that never used “BULL” DURHAM just how they too can get satisfaction. P.S. Remember, you won’t lee us again until we have something worth P. P. S. There it going to be another piece in this paper aooo. Look for it. are rare flowers, The fishing is ex cellent and of several kinds,, since not only the ocean but a creek, and inlet amd a river are nearby. - Anticipating the transfer of the property, the new owners have a! ready gone to work. Engineers are now laying out plans. There will be a hotel on the strand; one back from the beach in the lovely woods There will be a golf course, bathing casino, dancing pavilion. A top soil road will be started at once* Some of these improvements will not come this summer. The new hotels will not be ready, but the present accom modations Will be enlarged. More 'ottagea will be built. The bathing and dancing pavilion will be ready for the season. , r „ “We are not going to develop in a wild, speculative way,”! Mr. Mc Clure said yesterday afternoon. ‘The Floral Beach development is a life time proposition. Nature has done much for it. We are going to put in all modern improvements and make it a splendid all year round resort, but we are not out to do it in a game of speculation.” Floral Beach was opened last year by Mr. Holliday and fine progress was made. Aready sold are 103 lots. There are several cottages built with store and hotel. The new owners are highly en thusiastic. As one said, he is dream ing and eating Floral Beach, so to speak, he. is so wrapped up in the development. Wife end Husband ' Both 111 With Gas “For years I had gas on the stom ach.

Fortunate youth T he educational opportunities for the boys and girts of the South are keeping pace with the leadership of the South in the economic progress of the Natioa in .the following facts: In the last twelve years more than $125,000,000 haa been apent for the construction of new school buildings in the states of Hie South served by the Southern. In 1900 there were less than 73,000 school teachers in the states of the South served by the Southern, and the appropriation for education amounted to only 90 cents per person living in these states. In 1922 the appropriation was $6M per person, and the number of trained teachers had to 139,309. Inl900only 64.8 per cent of the chil. dren of school age in theae states attended school, while the average for the nation as a whole was 72.4 per cent. But in 1922, the latest year for which complete figures ary available, 8L4 per cent of the children in the states of the $outh served by the South ern attended school, while the average for the nation as a whole was 81,2 per cent. The growth in the educational facilities of the South, as well aa the number of children that can take advantage of them, ia one of the fortunate and direct results of the prosperity that has coma to the South. \ \ New manufacturing' enterprises in the territory served by us are invited to communicate with us, as we may be able to afford assistance in the financ ing of their enterprises, as wdl as as sist in the distribution and sale of their products. , v -f- f. r, r r .

Barnwell, R. G. HERNDERN, Mgr. S. C. *; r' The Chief Telephone Expense - Is Taxes and Wages x T HE wage and tax bill of this company for the year 1925 amounted to $12,469,603. These two items alone are more than 70 per cent of the entire cost of producing your service. Since 1916 the tax bill has increased 354 per cent/ and the wage bill has increased 267 per cent. During the same period the average investment in service has ‘ increased 132 per cent. In South Carolina the taxes for 1925 amounted to $298,694, an increase of 400 per cent since 1916, while the wage bill for 1925 was $807,112. 1 f* , Although taxes form such a large part of the cost of producing telephone service, we have no objection, to paying our just share of taxes. This is a duty of citizenship which we perform cheerfully. While the cost of producing telephone service has increased, like the cost of all forms of government, the nttes charged our customers fot the service have not increased in anything like the same proportion as taxes, wages and other expenses. Such facts as these are of interest to telephone users, and indicate the care and economy observed in the business of rendering telephone service. MORGAN B.
