Gar rett a county en4>loye, who was kUM recently in a road ma^jnery accident near Clinton, it has been stated by the county supervisor, A. Rhett Martin. The Garrett case comes under the provisions of the new law which stip • ulates that an employer of more than 15 persons is liid>le for compenMtion /in case of injury or death. In the case of death the estate is entitled to one- half of his monthly salary over a pe riod-of seven years. Mr. Garrett was ing on the size and make of the au tomobile on which they are displayed. Under the law no one-half-year tags will be sold except for trucks of one and one-half ton capacity or over. Officials pointed out that the law made it imperative that m filling out the application cards,-each applicant designate the number or name of the school district in which he lives. This is a new requirement and one that will greatly retard the handling of orders unless it is strictly follow ed, it was explained. The present license year expires October 30, giving car owners little that. The arnjory, it is ifnderstood, is to be located on a site nearly opposite the residence of A. Dial Gray on South Harper street and is to cost approximately $25,000. The agricul tural building is to be located on a lot already owned by the county on West Laurens street in the rear of the county jail and is to cost ap proximately $18,000. The exact amount pledged by the county for the two buildings could not be exactly ascertanied yesterday. Mr. Huff said that the amount pledg ed for the agricultural building might vary according to the amount of re lief labor available. At an outside more than a month in which to get I ^*8ure, he said, the county would like the tags. The new plates will bear black let ters on a white background.

The public is New York, Sept. 29. — “Worth Street,” the nation’s principal cotton textile market, today reported sales of about 50,000,00 yards of cotton goods at rising prices. Today’s sales brought to approxi mately 100,000,000 yards the turn over in the past two days and were niade on advances of 1-8 of a cent a yard on all types of goods, trade circles said. - said -the"" burst’ of activity was the result of s scar city of goods for nearby deliveries and the most favorable relation be tween production and unfilled orders .since 1933.^ Sales were Taid to be running, at a rate about three times current pro duction.' On the current rise, which started last Friday, prices have gone ahead from 1-4 to 3-8 of a cent.^a yard, es pecially on goods for near deliveries. In part, observers said, the quick ening of demand reflected expanding vitality of indu-stry. Automobile mak ers, chemical producers and building supply companies were said to have been among current buyers. The industry’s spindle activity in August was 43 per cent ahead of that month a year ago and only 8 per cent below the average for the entire year 1929, the Cotton Textile institute said. Indications are this hjgh rate of ac tivity is continuing through Septem ber, it pointed out in its latest sur vey. Recent demantb for cotton goods have brought a continuous decline ip mill inventory and stocks are aboUt equal to the low level reached before NR A was established.

Principal storm damage was to trees and shrubbery in Denver, Colo rado Springs, Pueblo and other east> ern ^Colorado towns. In Denver alone the tree loss to property owners was estimated at $6,000,000 and to city park property, $1,000,000. Several hundred homes in Denver were still without lights tonight, but power company officials said they hoped to have service restored Wed- ne^ay. Three Colorado deaths were in an i^rplane crash, six ware attributed to Auio accidents, one to a fidl, and an- exertion during the storm. “Those who have even the slight- ^ M, the.„.enemy throw . awayA-- their guns and demoralise their comrades, laying the way open for the enemy advance on our capital. ^uch cowards must be shot down without trial.” The government 'meanwhile coun tered these indication's of deseHion from its own ranks with declara tions that 200 of the fascists ad vancing on Madrid had come over to the Madrid side. A vicious counter-attack, the gov- >emment leader^ assierted, was~ launched against the fascists kt Bar- gas, five miles outside Toledo on the' 40-miIe Toledo-Madrid highway. (Reports at the insurgent head quarters in Burgos tonight said the fascists had advanced seven miles from Toledo toward Madrid, and were driving a pincer-like maneu ver on the Spanish capital. One col umn, these reports said, advanced on Illescxs, 22 miles south of Madrid on the Toledo road, and another drove on Arahjuez, 28 miles southeast of, Mad rid. At Bargas, the government pro claimed, their forces raised the age- old battle cry—“They shall not pass!” (In Madrid this week, after the fall of Toledo, newspapers declared they had^ not said “they shall not pats.” What they reully said, the newspa pers agreed, was “they , shall ' not march into Madrid.”) The government leaders asserted their men at Baigas “mowed down column a|ter column _4%f advancing _ fazeiata.” ' The government forces, it was said,- were taking up strong positions along the insurgent line of march on Mad- rid. The war ministry proclaimed the government forces had repelled an aerial bombardment at Olias del - Rey, seven miles north of Toledo on the Madrid road. Fifteen planes bombed them, the government said. Leaders 4u|ijyght renewed their pleas for all able-bodied men to come to the defense of Madrid. “Five thousand brave men can/win victories,” the call for volunteers read, "whereas 25,900 edi^rds and" deserters will bring defeat. “Madrid has these brave men, but they should be placed on a war foot ing immediately. “If we cannot summon all our cou-4*~ rage, now, it will be too late tomor- Manning To Run For Governor ‘■•-Hi Stiller Goes To Kaniaipolis Simpson, chairman, J.
