Dr. Williams Avises
All County Sheriffs
Sheriff J. (H. MoLeod, along with the
other sheriffs of South Carolina, has
received the following letter from
Dr. <3. Fred Williams, superintendent
of the State Hospital:
I "You have no doubt seen in your
county papers the account of the ac
tion taken toy the board of regents
of the South Carolina State Hospital
on the 10th- of this month.
"For fear you may not have seen
this I am attaching a copy hereto
of the resolutions ipassed by the board
and a copy of the letter it directed
me to address to the editors oi all
the papers in the state.
"This action will in all probability
greatly inorease the work of your of
fice, for yeu will no doubt be called
upon to assist #i caring for many
patients, some of whom will probably
be destructive and extremely diffi
cult to handle.
"In anticipation of this .possibility
I hope you will see your coanty board
of directors and the county physician
and make some provision by which
patients of this kind can at least be
cared for humanely until they can be
admitted here.
"It is our desire and hope that we
wiU, be able to take care of all the
and violent patients, but we
caraifct exceed the capacity set by^the
board of regents.
"I want to urge you not to permit
your deputies to bring any persons
to the hospital unless the papers have
already been approved by me and
permission granted by the authorities
of the hospital for them to be brought
here. If this is done and no vacan
cies exist upon their arrival they
will be returned irrespective of their
condition.
"I am sure you understand that it
is a source of deep regret to us that
this step has to be taken, but as set
forth in the resolutions of the board,
those patients already in the hospi
al are our first sacred responsibility
and- in justice to them we cannot fur
ther jeopardize their interests, both
physical and mental."
Mil McCASKILL WRITES OF
(.ELECTING OFFICERS, TAXES, etc
Editor Wateree Messenger:
The campaign for the eection of
state and county officers will soon bo
(percolating at full blast, and at the
primary which will be held in August
there will be sel^ted a govenor to
serve a term of four years. There
1:1 i/ '^e chosen several state sena
tors to serve four years, and an en
tire membership to serve a tern o,'
two years in the lower branch of tha
general assembly, whether these mem
bers will consist of old members re
elected or new members remains to be
seen.
There will be a great many very
important matters to be considred by
the next session of ?he legislature,
and we should weigh the legislative
candidates from every angle, and sup
port only those that are in sympathy
with tho homo owners, and real estato
holders. There should be some sys
tem of taxation considered by the
nyxt general assetmibly >vhere|by the
real estate owners could be relieved
from taxes for a period of years, and
to make up for this deficit, caused by
tho exemption of ad valorem taxes of
real estate, there could be a small
sales tax levied which would fall equal
ly upon all classes of tax payers. A
gain there is another class of prop
erty which is now escarping taxation,
that would raffce a large amount of
revenue, that is heavy trucks and
buses on the highways. Heavy trucks ,
are the only reason for the building
of expensive highways. Tho freight
carried by them could be provided for
by a larger number of small trucks,
or could bo taken caro of by the rail
roads. Tho big truks and busos,
which arc a menace to the highways,
perform ro public service that could
not bo performed adequately in other
ways.
It seems to me that those aro mat
ters of vital concern to all classes of
tax payors. Are wo going on blind
folded, ns it wore paying taxes, and
building roads for heavy trucks and
buses, from which we receive no rev
enue, and lot them go free? Is it
fair to the railroads to allow the oper
ation of the heavy trucks and buses
over the highways, without paying
taxes in proportion to tho railroads,
when the railroads contribute so much
I to the upkeep of our state, county and
| schools? A large amount of the funds
supplied to oarry on our schools
coime from the taxes paid by the rail
ond. A large amount of the money
1 used to carry on the schools in this
oourvty c^mes from the railroad taxes.
Our stupid policy of constructing
, roads and bridges at an enormous, en ?
j tirely unnecessary extra cost to the
taxpayer for tho use of heavy trucks
and buses, if oontlnued will so weaken
the railroads that they will not l>e
1 able to pay the taxes necessary to ear
aJHLm In the low -price motor car field there's nothing
that euen compares with Chevrolet's famous
5-mile ride. The reason is: No other car at Chevrolet's price has
any of the vital features pictured here. And without these
features, it's impossible to equal Chevrolet's ride! You can't
get Knee-Action results with anything less than a genuine
Knee' Action car . You can't get six -cylinder economy with more
than six ? nor can you get valve-in-head performance with any
tliing inferior to valve-in-head design. And the same thing
applies to the Fisher body, the brakes, the steering. Chevrolet
offers one feature after anothe/ that makes a tremendous differ
ence ? in the way the car f&U, performs and saves. One feature
after another that puts Chevrolet far ahead in value . . . farther
ahead every day in sales!

ry on. These heavy trucks and buses
not only add tremendously to the tax
payers burden by damaging and de
stroying roads not built for such traf
fic but they also shorten the life of
the highest typo roads. Nothing here
is meant to discourage the use of
trucks of tho smaller typo on tho
highways. Tho truck is prominently
the farmers friend. An automobile
may be a luxury for a farmer, but a
truck is a real necessity.
It would be far better for a farmer
to ride home on the road that coat*
$20,000 per mile than to come to the
Court House to attend the sale of his
homte on a road that, costs $40,000 per
mile, which was built, to accommodate
heavy truMcs and buses. Think it ov
er and see if I am not eorret. I am
Mjre the thinking man will agree with

RACK ETEKR INSURANCE
Since the advent of the racketeers
who collect tribute from small trdao:;
mon, manufacturers and others thru
intimidation, ' a demand for insurance
protection against the depredation.* of
these crook a has been met by several
insurance companion.
A writer in Popular Science tells <<t
h clothing manufacturer in Now
York who insured his place Against
damage by racketeers, and collected
the amount of his loss when thug?
ruined several thousand dollars worth
of garments by throwing a stench
bomb containing chemicali w^lch im
pregnated them with .1 nmell that
could not bo eradicated.
It is said that between an<| C/Jf)
other establishments h,ivv? taken oil
similar policies. They evidently think
it cheaper to buy this form of pro
tection than sultan it to the demands of
racketeers.
It. would he interesting tc: know just
how the actuaries figure out the prcm
um rates for suoh insurance, but it
seems that they can do it. In tn<\
they will insure against almost any
kind of hazard, from caetbing cold to
being kidnaped. It is said that some
families insure against the arrival of
twins.
