So is spring.
We have added a-very important
asset to our business in the last
week. We have a nice young lady
in our office department. It is hard
to get along without the ladies.
It used to be “your town” and
“our community”— now it’s our
community.
We hope the ladies will feel free
to make us a visit at all times. Let
us forget the old idea that an auto
mobile place is no place for a lady.
Man is like a tack, useful if he
has a good head on him and pointed
in the right direction — but even
though he is driven he can only go
as far as his head will let him.
New car sales are fine. We have
less cars on hand than we have had
since Christmas. Place your order
now for spring delivery.

Another nice thing about having

was Dr. B. H. Henry; then T. J.
Blalock and Dr. J. Lee Young.

There was much singing and a mock
session or two. A novel feature for
the closing hours was introduced by i
A. E. Hutciflnson, reading clerk of the ]
house. He had all the members of the'
house stand in the aisles of the hall!
and then march in a sort of perpetual
line, so that each man passed every <
other man and shook hands. Many
members characterized it a “love
feast,” and praised the reading clerk
for the idea. ^
A large delegation from the house
marched to the senate chanfber sing
ing “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah,” and
“God Be With You Till We Meet
Again.”
fn the senate a humorous session
was held and Dr. Olin Sawyer of
Georgetown, made a speech filled with
humorous references to members and
measures. Representative Mefilvaen oi
Sumter, also entertained, with singing
and whistling.
A bill by Repjpesentative Keith, to
require that all aurety bonds in con
nection with state highway Contracts
be handled by the state sinking fund
commission, was postponed to 1980.
A bill to instruct the sinking fund
commission to investigate the situa
tion surrounding highway aurety
bonds was passed.
