The Herald was not enthusiastic about Wilson G. Harvey "becoming Governor of South Carolina, but every man is due all the credit he de serves. The Herald does not mind saying now that it considers Gover nor Harvey one of the best execu tives this state has had in a long. The state has had only a few weeks of his administration, and the Gover nor has conducted himself during these weeks in a manner such as to command respect and admiration. He has every appearance of being a man with an eye single to filling the high office he occupies in a manner that' will cause his name to go down in history as being qualified to be governor of this great state. Gover nor Harvey is handling law enforce ment with a firm hand, and he de serves the moral support of the peo ple in his efforts to better conditions in this state.-The Hamberg Herald. Card From Mr. Sheppard. To the Democratic voters of Edge field County: I wish to express to my fellow citi zens my sincere thanks for the splen did vote given me in the primary e lection on August 29th. Since I am in the second primary I will greatly appreciate your contin ued support. I have had some legislative expe rience and I feel that I can now bet ter represent my people than during the past term when I was a n?w member. I have-taken an active interest in the new tax program which is inten ded to more equitably distribute the tax buden, and I want to go back to the House of Repr?sent?mes to as sist in completing this new program. I hereby assure each and all of my fellow citizens, that I will do every thing within my power to promote legislation that will tend to reduce the burden of the people by the re duction of taxes, and I feel much better qualified for such service than I was during my first term. Very Respectfully, James 0. Sheppard. August 30, 1922. We Salute the New Drug Store After serving the Edgefield pub lic in a most acceptable manner for more than 75 years, in war times as well as in peace, the old-reliable Penn Drug Store, lately owned by the lamented Mr. J. D. Holstein, pas ses out of the family of its founders into new hands. To-morrow this pop ular store will open for business un der the name of Charles F Bird & Company, the owners being Mr. Charles F. Bird, who travelled for a number of years for one of the largest wholesale drug houses in the country, located in Baltimore, and Mr. R. C. Nance who also traveled for the Augusta Drug Company. Mr. Bird will locate here and will be in active management of the store. He is married and will in about two weeks bring his wife here to make Edgefield their home. The Advertis er joins the people of Edgefield in extending to them a cordial welcome. Mr. Perry Whatley who has been a faithful salesman in this popular store for several years will be re I fained by the firm. Mr. Morgan who has served as pharmacist very acceptably for the past year will be with the new management for a short time. Standard Parts Becoming Rule New York, Aug. 26.-German standards-as the word is applied in manufacturing and not in philoso phy-will some day be the standard by which America will have to fur nish materials to most of the coun tries of the world, according to Os car R. Wikander, an American en gineer, who has just returned from Germany where he represented the American Engineering Standard Committee. "Ah example of the progress in standardization which Germany has made since the war time conditions began," says Mr. Wikander, "Is the recent story of Russian locomo tives. Nineteen German and one Swiss manufacturers built 700 loco motives for Russia, and every part in every one of them was interchange able with the corresponding part in any of the others; "Because of this standardization, every locomotive which was disabled became a store of spare parts for the others of the same type. Standarda tion work is being forced by Ger mans because they want to introduce their standards in the great import countries and possibly in the entire world. "To this end the great German de liveries in kind to France will, as far as possible, be made according to German standards, thus introducing them into that country. "Standardization in Germany is the work of a large committee, Which works in splendid cooperation with the manufacturers. This com mittee- called the 'Normenauss chuss'-is most interested in Ameri can standardization and is very anx ious to collaborate with us in estab lishing international standards. "England, too, is working to force the adoption of her standards on manufacturai in her colonies and dominions, and it is time for Ameri ca to plan to meet the conditions whch some day may force us to man ufacture goods that will conform to the standards 'made in Germany.'
