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. ' ' i
A legislative act designates May 10 j
fts .State Memorial day. Confederate!
graves are decked with the Stars and|
Bars and the valor of the men in gray
is extolled.

The tweed suit demands otu par
ticular type of blouse, the more for

blpuse picture embraces both tj-pes.
For sportslike tweeds, there Is noth

are belUg shown in both bright colony
and (Kistels which are equally smart.
Some of these sports shirts are
made just like a man's with slits at
the side to enable them to tuck in
neatly. This is a feature for which

been marred by a blouse that simply

Necktie silk blouses with long

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 does it be
cause Chevrolet believes that, to KEEP ON SELLINti
THE .MOST CARS, YOU MUST KEEP ON BUILDlNti
1'HE REST. And judging from'the popularity of the
Ut‘14 car, America jigrees with Chevrolet.

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.
