Yesterday while Superintendent o I Kducation Huyncs worth and * com mittee of grand jurymen wexe in wj>e*ting the school buildings in the rural communities they viaited the Stateburg building in District No. 6. They found it in bad shape. It ap I>eared that the workmen of Mr. K. M. Weatherly who is conducting a lumber business in that community, hud cut a hugr pine tree in the school yard tM- day before and it had fallen on the school house, cutting a big hole in it clear to the ground. No one was present to tell how the accident happened, and the tree and part of the building ^ad been removed. This is a two room building lately erected from plans of (Temson college and it 90 happened that the room not in use was the one demolished, It has been roughly estimated that the damage to the building would amount to abotu $.'*00, Luckily the school wa.i not in session at the time the accident hap - ; pened, and therefore none of the chil dren were injured. The building was insured against fire and tornado, but unfortunately was not . insured against treep felled by lumbermen. ? Sumter Herald.

Appropriately enough fh wm iun?J the StamWl iQU Company. Fifty-four years ago, in the infant days of a new industry, a group of far sighted men organized a company to bring order out of chaos. They called their enterprise Standard Oil Company because they meant to make it standard. Today the final argument for less well known petroleum products is the promise that "You will find this as good as 'Standard'." ^"Standard1' gasoline is standard, was the standard yesterday and will be the standard tomorrow. "Standard" Polarine sets the standard by which other good lubricating oils are made. The "Standard" practice of charging a narrow mar fgin of profit and getting a return through volume of sales has never changed.
