fortune overtakes them.
Suffering is of real importance in
the spiritual life no thinking Chris
tian denies. A man enjoying pros
perity and success may have “no
time” for God. But let adversity ov
ertake him, and he soon discovers
the need for this Supreme Friend. It
often happens that adversity dis
solves the complacency of men and
banishes from their hearts the spirit
of indifference or irreverance that
stems from self-satisfaction.

The old apothecary of other years was a mysterious and
romantic figure. Under his magic influence, roots, herbs;
and minerals were turned into pills, extracts, and plasters.
The doctor’s prescriptions were filled, the patient’s health
and comfort restored. Although much of the mystery with
Yrhich he was surrounded has vanished, the fine art of .
the apothecary has not been lost. A visit to our prescrip
tion department will convince the most skeptical that his
function is an important adjunct to modem medical prac
tice. When you find it necessary to consult a physician;
bring your prescriptions to us to be filled.

boom. This younger generation,
however, is now getting ready to
try its luck at investing in Florida.
Already middle-aged people from
the North are asking me what to buy.
My FIRST answer is to buy for cash
only—not on mortgage—and to use
the same common sense as they
would use when buying land in their
own home State. SECOND — buy
something which they could use
themselves or rent in case they
cannot sell it. THIRD—buy some
thing which they have first seen;
then wait until they get back 'North
again before making the actual pur
chase; that is, take time to think
things over.
Florida Has A Good Future
With the exception of the Pacific
Coast and the Southwest, very few
States can equal Florida for a win
ter climate. There is also a possibil
ity of discovering oil in any part of
] Florida—this possibility, however,
i applies to many other States. There-
] fore, in view of its comparable
closeness to the big industrial cen

Oolumbia, Feb. 1. — The South
Carolina House of Representatives
will be the news arena this week
with the Assembly’s four major
bills on the calendar for argument.
Thus far the lawmakers have
been slowed by having to reorgan
ize. Although the prime commit
tee, the Ways and Means group, got
down to work the first week the
the last i results are just showing up in the
House.
Thursday the committee sur
prised almost everyone by finish
ing the draft of the state appro
priations bill. Earlier in the week,
the commitee shuttled out three
bills recommended for top priority
by Gov. James F. Byrnes. _
The proposals are all tied* in with
education. The appropriations
act foots the cost of the bills and
running the State government.
Highest on the agenda now is
a proposal to allow State-support
ed colleges and mental institu-*
tions to carry out their own future
permanent improvements by float
ing bonds o be paid off with tui
tion fees. It has the backing of the
Budget and Control Board, the
Governor, the Ways and Means
Committee, and the presidents of
the State colleges.
This bill also includes nearly $6
million to be given the colleges
for now-needed permanent im
provements, and almost an equal
amount for the state mental in
stitutions including the construc
tion of a new training school for
mentally defective* Negro children.
Next on the list is a committee-
sponsored bill to increase the
Senate lor consiciera'tlon. Dis- ate- conference committee to work
agreefnent by the upper house will
send it back to the representa
tives. And if they don’t concur
with changes made by the Senate,
the proposal^ go to a House-Sen-
out a compromise.

This, however, does not mean that

agricultural land, I am not an ex

money anywhere. This also applies
to raising fruit, or raising cattle, or

tricts more money to work with
for local improvements.
Also included in the bill is an
increase of the State’s $75 million
bond limit for school construction
to $110 million. That would be the
ceiling of bonds which could be
outstanding at any one time.
This multi-million dollar school
improvement program is aimed
at equalizing white and Negro
schools throughout the State. Some
$34 million has already been put
to use. Paying the cost of this pro-

money lost in farming than even in
the stock market—and this is say
ing much! IF YOU BUY LAND FOR
FARMING BE SURE IT IS NEAR
A U. S. EXPERIMENT STATION.
What I Would Buy
My first purchase would be a small
home in an average, growing com
munity, with as much land as I
could afford. My building would DE
PRECIATE from the day I bought
it; but the land should APPRE
CIATE. Such a home should length
en my life, be a good hedge against
inflation, and be eaSy to sell. The
demands for such well-located, small
homes should increase. It, however,
should be within a mile of a grocery
store, church and post office, and be
in a good neighborhood.
“But what next should I buy?”
you ask. Well, I would buy no acre
age just because it seems “cheap”
at ten dollars an acre, compared
with a hundred dollars per acre in
your own State! There is an awful
lot of Florida land good only for
holding the world together! You are
probably not experienced enough
to speculate in groves, pasturage or
farm land. But here is a suggestion.
FLORIDA IS GROWING FAST.
When motoring about, if you see va
cant land adjoining a chain store, or
factory, or filling station, or even a
church, which land can be bought
cheap, buy it. It will be 1 needed
some time for parking or for a mo
tel. Native Floridians are blind td
this future demand for parking
space. Furthermore, this applies to
the old-timers of every State in the
Union, including the community
where you are reading this column.
Hence, I say that the “best buy” In
every community anywhere, in my
humble opinion, in vacant land lo
cated so it will some day be needed
for parking space.

Third on the calendar is a pro
posal to increase the salaries of
school bus drivers from $25 a
school month to $35. It will prob
ably get some opposition until in
vestigating committees make their
recommendations on whether to
keep students as drivers. The heat
is on the student drivers, because
of recent school bus accidents.
And finally on the list is the
appropriations bill. Details of :t
have not been revealed. State Au
