* * There is one way by which a
luiainaa* mana* neodil is imnrnvprt
v ? and that is )>y a policy of consistent
newspaper advertising.
Live bank men believe in advertising,"
for they know it pays.
Their feeling therefore is that
when a merchant who is a good
advertiser applies for a loan that
a reasonable arifount of goods,
bought by him on credit, is likely
to be turned over quickly ^wd
promptly paid for on accoum of
li is method of keeping his goods
constantly before the public. The
bunker would have- confidence
that the goods would be disposed
of aud turned into cash before
they got out of date or shopworn.
Discriminating buyers of every
class know that they can get
fresh goods from the store that
advertises. The merchant, who
advertises seldom has shopworn
goods. And in that way advertising
helps the- merchant's credit
not only with the banks but with
his customers. And one is just
ins important as the other.
One of Pennsylvania's new senators
is a man named Crow, and
that is about all anybody wenw
to know about him. \
The manager of the New York

unusually promising young player

club, tiasebull, which is merely
' a sport for most of us, is a cureer
for a chosen few. and a misrhtv
P lucrative one. But there is money
in baseball only for the topnotchers.
Only those who can
play the game a great deal better
than the rank and file get * big
salaries. And this is true of any
other business or profession. The
man who excels is the. man who
goes to the top, whether it is basehall.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.'
There is more talk this year of
economy in aiul around the halls
of the General Assembly .than
there has been for years, but of
course it remains to be seen
whether the talk will amount to
anything more than talk. The
people of the lower section of the
State especially were ha pi hit by
the ravages of the boll weevil last
year and from that section many
stories are heard of rhiued* farm
"C* am) bankrupt business men.
One member of* the house of representatives,
a professional man.
from a county south of Columbia
was tell In p a few 'days apo of his 1
experience difrinp 1921 as one
similar to that of many people in
his section. "When 1 was here
last year," he said. "I bad $10.000
in bank. Shortly after the
Lepislature at)jouriied 1 invested
it in a drug store in my town. A
few "days apo we tonk'sto^k and
found that the inventory av.i united
to $2,000. Most of our business
was done on credit and we cannot
collect a dollar, because those
who owe us have nothing with
which to pay. 1 am lookinp for
a location in the upper section of
the State."
For the first time in .eight

day was a visit qr to the house of
representatives. During his stu>*
on the floor he stood hehiml the
rail and apparei^y watched with
interest the proceedings. At the
tune the house and senate were
in joint session balloting for an
associate justice. The session was
being presided over by Lieutenant
Governor Harvey, who in an!
nouiicing the result of one of the
'bullots. necame slightly contused
iu stating the number of votes
necessary to a choice, whereupon
Mr. Bl ease was heard to remark,
i ""If he eaift count any better
t (ban that, 1 inn not surprised
- that his bank in Charleston is in
t bud shape."* One of the former
1 governor's friends facetiously remarked
that he had come to the
' house to look over the membership
so that he cdtrid tell the peo
pie next summer who should be
- left at home. t
f Friends of Hon. Iv. \V. Parsley,,
? York county member of the
house, are" urging him to become
- a candidate for superintendent of
? the State penitentiary at the next
? session of the Legislature, lhings
, have not been going so well at
. the penitentiary lor the last year
i or two and the necessity for a
? change in ihe head of the institu
tion is said to be becoming apparent
among rtitinbera ot both
1 the hoinft' ami senate. "One thing
i i?! ceriain," said Mr. Purslcy, "if
i I should be elected superintende
ent of the penitentiary there
p Would be more work done down
there and there would be tin end
f of the loafing and gambling the
- prisoners are said to be indulg-?
ing in."
i
b The moving picture exhibitors
t? of the State are up in arms
against the bill introduced in the
t; house to tax them $5 on every
s thousand feet of reel they put on
*|the screen. The exhibitors in u
s number of small towns in the
1 State say it. will put them out of
t business, that they cannot stand
the ta>^ arid that they will close
their doors the day the proposed
law is put into effect. Meanwhile,
e however, the bill has been reel
ported favorably by the* jndici.
ary committee. to|which hy the
i way. it should never have been
referred, because it is a revenue
f measure and under the rules of
- the house should have gone to the
b ways and means committee."
Why there should he en in the
house of representatives at every
l session of the General^ Assembly

(even small,things, much less the
(larger ones, intended to advance

usual motion, that the memorial :
be received as .information and

Mr. Evans of Marlboro objected
on the Jteore of economy. The
cost of printing the memorial <
would have been $1.50. The talk i
by Mr. Evans in opposition to i
printing it probably cost the tax- 1
pavers $50.
Two View* of Editorial.

One reads with surprise this editorial

one of the most intelligent and '

weekly newspapers:
"All this taljc one bears coming.
out of Columbia about new
sources of revenue to relieve the
taxation on property is a smoke
screen intended to deceive the unwary.
The purpose behind the
movement is to collect more mon-,
ey so that the departments and
institutions of the State may have
more to spend."
The "talk about new sources of
revenue to relieve the taxation
on property" has hot come out of
Columbia. Sepator Marion, the
