SMYRl/S GARAGE ; Willie J. Snivri, Proprietor RKYNOI.DS UK A It I > FROM ? ' ?*' \l inning .Man in llouaton, Says Mind is AfTecttd. I (^Sumter Daily Item) A letter was received Monday morning from Houston, T^xas, by Mrs. R. D. Key nolds from her hus band, R. 1>. Reynolds', who has -been missing frotii home for the. past two weeks. The letter only partially re lieves the anxiety of Mrs. Reynolds, as Mr. Reynolds states in his letter that he has little recollection of how he got there and that his mind and nerves are very much affected. He writes that he wants to come home and see the mpmhfr* of his family. In writing Mr. Reynold^ starts off as if writing to a friend, a method very different from his ? usual method of writing, Mrs. Reynolds states. The letter, as received this morning by M*-s. Reynolds follows: My Dearest l''riend; i I am ashamed to write, I am in such a bad fix. I am a tit subject for the asylum. 1 can't work but about half of the time. My mind and nerves is off bad.

I am finding much better today. The News/paper. This in from the Tampa Tribune: "When you wish to buy something, where do you look for it? In your newspaper. When you need information re garding some event in the future, where must you go for it? To your newspaper. Where do you obtain your knowl edge of current events, science, poli tics and the greater part of your education ? From your newspaper, When your merchants need busi ness, through what medium do they ohtain.it? ^ our no wspaperV ? When the comvjunity and the churches, schools, civu1 and welfare organizations of the, coVnmunity need i community action and co-operation, to what do they appeal? t Your newspaper. I These are some of the reasons why tlx* newspaper is your newspaper and why communities are only as strong and progressive as their newspapers. There may have been instances where a live newspaper was unable to resuscitate a dead town, but there is no man who has been a mourner at a funeral where a live newspaper j has been the undertaker to a dead town. If thertv is one quick cuto for community somnolence it is a wide awake newspaper. The first duty of a newspaper is to transmit to its readers the thoughts and activities of humanity at home and abroad, but the value of that other department of the news paper?advertising -should be over looked by none. The public antici pates Its shopping by scanning the ad vertisements in the newspapers and the merchants anticipate their busU news by newspaper advertising. Ad vertising is a mutual proposition be tween all concerned. He fore the rise of present intensive newspaper advertising the public was powerless to plan its buying. Money, time and unsatisfaction was the price paid. At the .same time the mer chants had to be content to wait for business, and the most of it came ?Saturday afternoon and evening, ?el morning. Newspapers and the uni versal employment and appreciation of newspaper advertising permits the public to plan its shopping and has made business for every week-day. After all is said and done, a city's newspaper is a public servicq insti tution?without which there is no progress and ahead of which the city will not run. Its development is a community's concert. The better the newspaper, the larger its circulation, the greater the commercial power of the city in which it is published. In this day and time it is essentially a business enterprise, on the one hand, its growth dependent upon its re sources and its resources upon com munity support. And it is an enter prising and right-thinking community that seeks first the building of strong newspapers. The very nature of the business absorbs financial expendi tures far in excess of public concep tion and until they are long estab ! lished in centers of more than 25,000 | population_it_ is a matter of invest ment without returns. It is the pro cess of building, building, building! After confessing to the police that he had killed his wife, James DeJoy, 27, on Wednesday made a break from the Chicago police and jumped from a third floor window, killing himself in stantly with a broken neck.

TO EXPLORE OM) STRUCTURE (ieoKraphic i'arty to VUit Ruins ill Cuicuilco, Mexico. Washington, April 21. ? The Natiorl al Geographic Society announced to day the dispatch of an expedition to Mexico to uneoveri in the ruins of Cuicuilco, south of Mexico City, the oldest structure yet found on the American continent. Professor Byron Cummings, leader of the expedition in preliminary ob servations disclosed an artificial mound 412 feet in diameter and 412 feet high and the explorers believe it probable that a thousand- years before the first pyramid was built, some monarch of the Valley of Mexico furred his subjects to effect a great monument. for him. Skeleton remains of the Americans of 7,000 years ago, specimens of their emblems and idols and pieces of their earthen ware found at Cuicuilco by I)r. Cumminga, he believes, have up set current theories about the origin of human life on the American con? tinent. "The steps of human development from the simplest beginnings are as easily traceable in the Valley of Mexico as in Mesopotamia or the Valley of the Nile," Dr. Cummings said, "Point out as we may sim ilarities to Mongolian types or to western Asiatic and Egyptian de signs nnd conceptions, we must ac knowledge after all that the early inhabitants of I America were dis tinctly American. Their dissimilar ities to Asiatics, both east and west, to Africans and to Europeans, are far more pronounced than their sin^r ilarities. They form a large group of the human family, separated from the parent stock in some remote age, who as they gradually multiplied and possessed themselves of this part of the globe sought to surmount its ob stacles and to become masters of their surroundings.". The mound at Cuicuilco was sealed and preserved by lava from the crater Xitli, the Geographic Society has found. The Aztecs of Mexico were preceded by the Toltecs and the Tol tecs were preceded by a primitive people whose traces were embalmed in this lava. Under the present sutface blanket of lava, however, explorer* have found a much earlier covering in thin first lava flow, which encases the relics of Americans of 8,000 years ago, it is hoped by the expedition that remains will be found of a civilization that existed even before the primitive predecessors of the Tolteca invaded the valley. ? FIKK AT VJKNKER PLANT Karly Morning Blaze Cause** $20,000 i Damage at Conway. Conway, April 22. ? This morning j at about 3 o'clock fire was discovered in a wash room of the Veneer Manu- ! facturing Company's plant, just , across the Waccamaw river from ' Conway. The fire soon got beyond control of the night '-crew on duty! and spread to the veneer room, in which is located the huge veneer cutting machine. The veneer room, the machine shop and grinding room j were completely destroyed. By fine work on the part of vol- ! unteer fire fighters the fire was con fined to these buildings and the rest 1 of the big plant was saved. The local fire department went, to the scene with the chemical engine and a pumper and did good work. j Mr. W. A. Stilley, of the plant, said this moaning that the loss would be ! around $20,000, fully protected. Already plans are being made to rebuild at once and in all probabil ity that plant Will be in full operation apain in a few weeks. The Conway plant was owned by the O. L. Williams Veneer Co., the same owners of the Camden Veneer plant recently destroyed by fire. ? - - - . " i. ?
