Only 426 V«t8 Left In State Ranks of Southern Soldiers of Sixties Rapidly Beins: Thinned By Grim Reaper. , j \ X ' Columbia, May 11.—Unfurling^ of the Stars and Bars Thursday for Conf^- crate Memorial day in South Carolina found the rarUcs of the survivors in the struggle between the stages sadly depleted. One-fifth of the Confederates who closed ranks and marched forth figu ratively, if not literally, a year ago to honor their head comrades have since that time “cros.sed over the river” to rejoin Stonewall Jackson, I^e, Hamp ton and other leadens of the lo.st cause. Pension rolls at the office of Comp troller General J. Beattie showed today that 107 veterans answered ^he last roll call during the past year, re ducing the number of living from 533 to 420. In Beaufort county not a single sol dier of the .sixties remains to join in commemorative exercises. Calhoun and Jasper couhtTfs Have only one' veteran each left to honor, and Georgetown, Berkeley and Hampton two each. I Of the 55,000 or more men and lads who ma|rched into the bloody conflict from South Carolina, the largest num ber of survivors now live in Green ville and .Sj»artanbui g counties. Greenville has 27 veterans and Spartanbtirg 24, Pickens, another Piedmont county, has 21. .\nderson Confederates number 20, Florence 10, Charleston and Richland 10 each, York 15. Grtnmwood 0, and .Sumter SIX. Decimation has gone on even at the Confederate home maintained here by the state. Where 23 veterans gath ered for ceremonies last Memorial day, only 18 assembled Thursday. Some 2,532 widows, however, re main to do honor to the men they married during the war or the tem*j pestuou^times that followed it. The! oldest, Mrs. Frances V. Duncan, ofj Barnwell county, was listed as 99. .There w’ere 34 others between 55 and 45, the youngest recorded. Approxi mately 275 widows died during the' year.

W HE.N you pay the price of a Knee-Action car, you naturally want genuine Knee-Action and all that goe.s w ith it. You want the new i^liding ride at its sm(M)th- est. safest, and best. You want simple, fiMilproof, and trouble-proof amstruction—the huskiest, sturdiest front- end you can buy. And, of course, you want shock-proof steering—it is the natural companion of the gliding: ride. You pay for these things, and you want them all—hut >011 can get them, in the low-price field, only from Chev rolet. The rea.son is simple. Fully-enclosed Knee-Action wheels are costly to build—so costly that only Chevrolet, world’s largest builder of cars, can afford to make the necessary huge investment in new’ machinery—and still keep prices among the lowest of the low. Only Chevrolet hits the re.sources and the a.ssured volume of sales that permit this extra production cast.

CHEVROLET DISTRIBUTORS ^ Wasliington, May 10, — Senator E.; | D. Smith, of South Carolina, today in- _ troduced a bill to amend the agricuK * tural adjustment act so as to give Sec- ■ retary Wallace authority to borrow g money upon all cotton in his posses- _ sion or control and allow him to de posit as collateral for such loans the ® warehouse receipts for the cotton. ■ Smith said his bill w'ould enable the^g secretary to take over cotton on which' s 10-cent a pound bans have been made ? by banks. Some, of these banks, he ■ said,^ are in need of the money and g may be forced to .sell this cotton writh- ^ out waiting for a higher market. The bill ’would authorize an appro- P priation of $100,000,000 for "protect- || ing title to any cotton-Which may have ^ been or may be acquired by the secre- j^ tary of agriculture” and for paying j* expenses such as warehouse charge^ I salaries and other costs incident to g marketing. “ The appropriation would be made " available with the approval of the P secretary of the treasury. Each re- ■ quest for funds would have to be ac- |p companied by weight and average. grade and staple the-quantity of cot- P ton held by the secretary of agricul- ■ ture and its aggregate market value, g Whenever any cotton is marketed,, _ the net proceeds would be used to re- * imburse the treasury. Any balance B which might he made by holding the g cotton for higher prices would be dis- ^ tributed to persons owning,«quity in . the bal^s Ion which loans v^ro'made.
