SESSION SUM MARIED
With the exception ot the passage
of three or four county supply bills,
the work of the General Assembly
for the 1U32 session is a thing of the
past. The main business transacted
was the* passage of the state's appro
priation bill totaling nine and a quar
ter million dol'ars? just about two or
one and a half millions more than it
should have been. There is keen dis
appointment that the legislators did
not exercise economy in a more dras
tic form. The appropriation bill en
acted is practically one million dol
lars less than that of 1931. If the
lawmaking body will keep up that
ratio with regularity in the ensuing
half dozen years, maybe a measure
in time will be passed more in keep-,
ing with the ability of the state's
taxpayers to meet. In addition to
the appropriations measure following
are the major achievements of the
session, as recounted in the news col
umns of The State:
Providing for retirement of the
state's $5,000,000 deficit by pledging
two and one-half mill property laws.
An act providing for retirement of
past and prospective deficits in ap
propriations for schools, amounting
to almost $900,000.
Adoption of plan for red istric ting
the state, reducing congressional dis
tricts from seven to six.
Measure providing for the regula
tion of power companies and placing
them under supervision of the state
railroad commission.
Adoption of plan for establishment
of sunall banks by reducing the cap
ital stock requirements.
Bill permitting establishment of
cash depositories.
Permitting the highway department
to issue one-year notes to contractors
for unpaid obligations. ? The Spar

TRANSPORT FOR THE FARMER.
PerliapS' the most pronounced pro
gress of our time has been made in
the direction of improved transporta
tion. Good roads and better and
cheaper cars to use them, have caused
miraculous changes in the business
and social lives of the American
people.
Of all classes of citizens, the farm
er has been the least benefitted in
this. Most farmers have cars, and
trucks. But few farmers have ac
cess to roads that are usable at all
times of the year, or that permit
the greates/t possible efficiency in
transport at any season. The rough
road., the road that becomes one long
series of mud-holes in winter, the
road that goes to pieces under snow
or a good hard rain ? these are still
characteristic, speaking p?norally, of
rural Amerioa.
A few states ? New York, Californ
ia and others- ? have done fine work in
building good farm-to-market roads.
They have realized that the best main
highway in the world is of no use to
the farmer if his home is five or tei\
miles away on an impassable dirt
road. They have, consequently, done
much in recent years to provide se
condary roads, suitable for all types
of travel, and passable at all times,
which connect the small village and
the farm with the outside world.
These roads cost little, in compari
son to the cost of high-type highways.
Five thousand dollars a mile or less
will provide asphaltic type stirfaces
which will withstand all but the heav
iest traffic. A few hundred dollars
a year will ordinarily keep therm in
first-class condition. The benefits
they bring farmers and small town
business men are inestimably greater
than their cost. No state can afford
to let its farmers languish in the mud
nowadays ? every state can., by care
ful road planning, build good second
ary arteries without inflating the tax
bill.
NOT TO OFFER FOR RE
ELECTION
In the Senate hall last week sever
al senators announced that they
would out offer f>?r re-election this
summer and would therefore be un
able to meet their collearjues next
session of the General Assembly. If
our guess Ls not wrong many others
will not be there either even though
they may offer and not senators
alone either. The next General As
sembly shall see many new members
with ideas of their own for at least
a few weeks ? after that, their minds
will belong to those who have "learn
ed the ropes" and will be changed ?
not by their wives, etiher. ? Bamberg

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
INCREASES
j School attendance in the United
States has increased approximately
18 per cent since. 1918, according to
, figures given in the annual report of
i the personnel bureau of the Univer
sity of South Carolina.
Approximately two per cent of the
total school population in 1918 was in
I the institutions of higher learning. Of
| the 26,665,007 pupils and students in
attendance upon our schools today,
1,099,468, or approximately four per
cent of them are in our institutions
of higher learning. The percentage
of increase in college population from
191S to 1931 was 64.
The bureau, which is promoting a
program of vocational guidance, esti
mates in its report that before 1920
the schools were dumping more than
I 1,000,000 adolescent boys and pyrls
yearly upon the work-u-day world
without any vocational training. This
large group has b:>en decreased to a
great extent by the comparatively re
cent introduction of personnel work
into our colleges 'and secondary
schools.

Drifting
Thoughts
Flattery is always a request for a
favor.
They flatter who like to be flatter
ed.
He who flatters knows he Is speak
ing falsely.
When one flatters you he is calling
you a fool. If you listen to him he
will make a fool of you.
A flatterer makes an excellent
traitor.
Meet a flatterer wifth a frown and
you conquer.
When one flatters to-day . fear him
to-morrow.
Esteem your enemy; he keeps you
on your guard.
Do not try to crush one who has
done you an injury.
How do you know that it is an in
jury he has done? You think so,
merely. It might be the greatest fa
vor he could have done for you.
Sometimes our best helpers are
those who, seeking to avenge them
selves, do us temporary damage.
A great enemy is a great oppor
tunity.
From nothing expect nothing.
Look not for decency among the
vulvar.
When one has much he gives much
or deprives much.
Vulgar language is the utterance of
impure hearts.
Look not to be respected by one
who does not respect himself.
What a man is cannot be hidden be
hind false appearance.
Goodness shines; badness stains.
Pray most when you are praised
most.
Praise is of^en ridicule dressed in
her best clothes.
Not infrequently does praise insin
uate an immediate purpose.
Praise is sometimes the shout of ig
norance.
He is lea?t praised who brings most
reformation.
They who seek praise know they do
not warrant it.

Only the NEW NuGRAPE
Has Their Delicious Flavor
You'll admit there i.? a goodness in the flavor of grapes ?
and that's why the New NuGrape is different from all artifi
cial flavors different as gold and brass.
In a certain valley, made rich and productive by reason of the mois
ture, in season, from surrounding hills ? a fAuious brand of grapes
is raised. The vineyards are renowned for the rich, wine-like flavor
of the great purple clusters of fruit. And il lias been our obligation
to YOU, to transport that natural delicacy of flavor ? to your home
? to places where soft drinks are sold.
The New NuGrape made exclnnively with Welch's
Grape Juice ? cohIh no more than any artificial ^rapo
mihatitute, It* a now on tale everywhere .
