If not joyfully satisfied after the first bottle—money back. \ by the lawmakers, several plans ad vanced thus far provide state control boards. The Blatt-Brown bill, passed by the house, would establish a state board of three members at salaries of $4,200 a year each. The McEachin- Harvey state store bill, now before the. senate, provides a board of three at salaries of $3,600 a year each. The dry-sponsored Chapman, “gal- lon-a-month” measure, slippy to third (reding by the senate last week, would 6^ up a state control board, and another proposal by Senator H. K. Cooke of Horry county, would es tablish a South Carolina Temperance corporation to supervise liquor traf fic. If a law to legalize liquor is en acted at the current session of the leg islature, it was considered likely that it would provide a state agency to su pervise liquor activities. A bill introduced in the house last week^ould create a state racing com mission to supervise horse and grey hound racing in South Carolina. The agency would consist of three mem bers, to be paid $1,000 a year with $500 additional for the chairman. A secretary would be named at an an nual salary of $2,400. A state industrial commission of three mentbers would be formed to adminster terms of a workmen’s compensation act mrar before the house. Under terms of the bill the ^hairman would he paid $3,600 an nually and the other two commis sioners $3,500 each. The commission would be authorized to employ a sec- ^•etary at a .salary not exceeding $3,000 a year., A revised old age pension measure pending in the house would create a state public welfare commission to administer provisions of the bill, which would provide assistance for persons 66 years of age or older. The three members of the commission would be paid $10 per deim while en gage in commission business. They would be authorized to choose a state superintendent of public welfare at an annual salary of $3,600. ' A bill introduced in the senate would set up a state aeronautics com mission to regulate aviation in South Carolina in conformity to federal reg ulations. No appropriation is fixed in the measure. Two bills passed by the house and sent to the senate would can be sure thfit death would be ^he inevitably result, and yOu would not be so foolish as to try it to see. Why not apply the same wisdom in dealing with your home town ? Because you are showing a lack of foresight if you i are one of those who live in Clinton and buy elsewhere. Such gradual, fi-i nancial bleeding (be it cVer so little) can ^ave'but one consequence — eco-j nomic sta^ation and a-dead town, j Many, ^thout studying every fea- j ture of'oul-of-town buying, are at-! traded by “bait” prices or Immediate considerations only. Before yielding to such Impulses, Clintoniana should con- j hoards ^f examiners for trained nurs es and for chiropodists. A measure pending in the house would* supplant the South Carolina highway patrol with a state depart ment of i^lice and set up a state po lice comrnission to direct activities of the department.

Clinton was built by Clinton people, who have many common interests, involving millions of dollars and thousands of souls. We have a heritage rich in •wholesome traditions and progressive institutions to be passed on to future generations. This can be accomplished by mutual cooperation and confidence. Here we make our LIVING. The source of our incomes lies in Clinton, no matter whence the check is mailed. The more we spend at home the more we shall have^for our homes, and no amount of reasoning can predict that money .spent fifty miles away will ever find its way back to Clinton. Bet ter spend it here and keep it here. We make our INVESTMENTS here. Hundreds have put lifb earnings in homes, buildings, and business; 'thou sands have invested in better schools, churches, and city conveniences; these will prosper only as our community prospers as a result of absolute co operation. A'fiest egg laid in Clfhton will not hatch of itself; it remains but a hopeless nest egg unleks properly incubated by local loyalty. . Home trading is our means of APPROVAL. Local merchants have shown their faith in Clinton by their merchandise investments.. It^ up to Clinton shoppers to show their ap proval and appreciation by trading at home, not fifty*, not eighty^ but one hundred percent. Last week a neighboring city boast ed an increase of thousands of dollars in trade over that of last year. How much of thl« was contributed by Clin- tonians? There’s no telling. This week another neighboring'^city announces a drive for-^five-million- dollar spring trade. How much will Clintonians contribute? Not one dpi- lar if every loyal Clintonian prove* himself worthy of the name by re membering that “CLINTON IS MADE BY HOME-TOWN TRADE”! Treasury Stays Out Of Bonus Figh Washington, March 2. — The treas- urf^ today indicated that for the pres ent it would keep oiit of the congres sional fight over the $2,000,000,000 bonus bill. Although hearings on some 30 bonus bills will start Monday before the house ways and means committaft, reasury offTcials informed Democrat ic leaders they would not testify un less asked to do so. A house vote is in sight late next week. There were renewed indications that neither administration nor bo nus spokesmen would propose a com promise. The president, it was gener ally understood, intended to sit tight to see how the house and seimte vote. Speaker Byrns predicted indirectly that the house would vote for the bo nus payment, for he told reporters indiustrial matters.
