CHARLESTON FIRM iS APPOINTED STATE AGENT G. C. BALZEH Balzer, Melony & Comar get Klim Sales for the Entire State LOOKMG FOR?SS1STANTS NOW Balzer, Molony & CGmar of 143 Calhoun Street, Charleston, are be ing congratulated by their many friends on having been appointed tho General Distributors for Klim milk for the State of South Carolina. Their years of experience as Klim sales men moko them invaluable men in this new capacity. Chance to Get a Klim Agency Talking to a reporter the other day, Mr. Balzer said that bis primary in terest right now was to find good livo men and women throughout the state who would bo interested in selling Klim. Considerable headway is being made but he pointed out that thero were thousands of towns and villages in tho state where Klim is known to the housewives, and he wants an agent in each town. It certainly looks iiko a good chance for men wno are look ing for something good to work on, or women who would like spare timo work. From what Mr. Balzer says, tho work is ensy and interesting, and pays well. Ho wants to hoar from any man or woman who is interested. How to Get Klim Now Until the state organization of dis tributors is solidly under way, Mr. Balzer wants it known that he ls ready to ship Klim by parcel post to the numerous South Carolinans who are using it now. The prices which will prevail for these parcel post ship ments are as follows: Klim whole milk - 1 lb., $ .70 " - 2" j lbs ,1.15 *.- 6 ' lbs., :? 80 Until there m an agent in your town, send Balzer, Molony & Comar your order, together with ? money order to their address given in tho first part of tlii3 article. Now Organization Means Much "With every little town ip South Carolina having a Klim distributor," Mr. Balzer went on to say, "much will have been accomplished towards giving tho different communities a steady supply of good country fresh milk. "According to figures recontlycom ?riled, many of tho farms in tue stato lave no cows. That means that good, fresh milk like Klim is needed. Be causo of its uniformly high standard of purity and quality somo of our greatest baby specialists are recom mending it for infant feeding. You can be sure that the value of such. a product will be quickly recognized by South Carolina housewives. It is just what is needed to supply the milk we lack." _ (Adv Columbia Canal ClWO to U. S.

Editor Kooweo Courier: Please allow me to speak, through tho columns of your paper, Just a few words to our honored County Supervisor and bis board, our county delegation and tho citizens of Oconoo, li) rogard to tho road and bridge sit uation. We are very thankful for tho pros pects and promises wo nov/ have of having some work done on tho "places" that wore once called roads. We are also mindful of tho many considerations of tho past, e^on down to the administration of th\ late \V. C. Foster, whoso untimely death marked tho closo of road building and maintenance in tho northwestern Corner of Oconoe. Tho "rJicos1' referred to above, which will hereafter be termed roads, aro badly in need of some attention. Our prosent Supervisor on his cam paign tour in 1020, expressed him self of tho opinion that wo had been given a dirty deal, and to-day <wo find ourselves holding tho sumo band. Is lt not time for a "square deal"? Indeed it island therefore wo experi enced a pleasant thrill when inform ed by Mr. Shockley himself that ho shall bo in our section In a very few days. Humor has had lt that, owing to! lack of money, the Supervisor would 1 send tho "chain gang" lo the "peni-j tentiary," and I shall bo frank to state that tho comment was general that in such n transaction justice would not have boen dono to ibo peo plo of Oconee unless Ibo Supervisor, his board nnd tho Oconee delegation wore sent there, too, for tho remain der of their terms of ofllce. 'However, we shall be glad to forgive and for get tho past, once ..our roads aro worked out, so push forward, Mr. Shockley, resting assured that your good work will bo much appreciated, and that the name of J. C. Shockley will take its placo in history along side that of tho late W. C. Foster and others as a man who dealt ''square" to all In Oconee. Yet, with all theso bright and promising prospects, there is sllll a frightful, ghostly story in our story book-one whose sentiment and sen sational incidents would rival our most efflcient imaginative fiction writers; yet wo must record it no? as fiction, but as reality. Yours ago it was deemed essential to tho welfare and prosperity of Oco nee to construct and maintain a bridge over Tugaloo river, known as Ibo Prather Bridge. In tho last days of 1918 this bridge was washed away and to-day (1922) wo still have no bridge. Of course, this bridge would give us a direct route to Toccoa, Ga., thereby benefiting the city of Toccoa as well ns the citizens of Oconee; but ls the lack of this br idge benefiting I Westminster, (Walhalla, Seneca or j any other Carolina lown? if it is, H ;- nIDst tho expense of tho rural citi zens ol oar county. The people who uro most accommodated by this, bridge reside r.i irom tb roo to twenty mik from 'Am town of Wcwininster. Wo have seon our farm products go to waste for lack of marketing facilities. We have known our rela tives and friends to be sick and In need of our attention and comfort, yet wo could not go to thom. Yes, wo have seen our dear little children sick and suffering-soon our moth ers suffer and die without the proper attention of n physician, and all on account of the lack of this bridge. Some ono might ask if wo depend upon doctors from Toccoa, and wo answer that, for some reason (prob ably bad roads) the doctors of West minster do not want the practice of this corner. Upon making this state ment to the Supervisor and his board a few months ngo, lt was suggested by ono that if wo would pay tho doc tor ho would attend us. Now, we challenge this honored member to ' cite us to any of our unpaid doctor [bills in the State of South Carolina, in order that wo may at once settle tho same. Wo have begged and plead for this bridge until we are almost exhausted. Wo have tried to be patient and man ly. -Wo are loyal to our State and willingly pay our State and county taxes at the same ratio as tho rest of tho citizens of Oconee, and local school tax that rivals any rural dis trict in U|e county. Yet we "ask for bread and are given a stone; we "ask for fish and* aro given a serpent." We pleaded with tho Supervisor and ho referred us to the Oconee del egation. Wo pleaded with tho dele gation and they referred us to the Supervisor. Wo pleaded with them together. Opposition was made to levying a special tax for this brldgo on tho ground that tho boll weevil bad hit the people of tho lower part of tho county In tho cotton belt, and a higher tax would bo a burdon to them. Just hore let us boast that, although wo get no consideration at tho hands of the road and brldgo of ficials, this "honored visitor," tho boll weovll, to whom you pay so much respect, is no rospector of persons, and is paying us a call, too. This fact makes lt moro nocos aary that this brldgo be built, for how can wo livo on the farm under boll weevil conditions without sys tematic marketing, and how cnn wo market without a market? With tho above opposition beforo tho County Board and county delegation, the Su pervisor and lils board then passed a resolution lo build this brldgo from tho "first funds becoming available for Oconee county." Our noblo Son otor, hoing present and bearing tho resolution, complimented us upon gaining such a stop toward tho build ing of the bridge, and promised "to remember this resolution on the floor of thc Sonnte." With all this, things looked optimistic to us-. But, alas) wo ure now told thnt '.here is no bono on earth for this bridge this year. Where is tho hitch? Did Senator Mason "forget" lo "remember" us and lot tho appropriation bili go on through without providing any funds whatever for Oconoo? Did ho re mombor us and cut Oconoe's appro* Iprlation complotoly out Just to do LOCAL NOTES FROM CONEllOSS. Body of Little Child llcmovcd from Laurens to Riehluiid.
