The extra quality built in by the extra process of Gum-Dipping,
tfce economy of these wonderful tires and the added mileage
obtained from them during the past two years, has created such
a large demand that over 75% of Firestone's mammoth produc
tion is now Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords.
This has greatly increased the total sales volume and the huge
Firestone factories are now working on a 24-hour schedule to
supply the demand.
This large volume, produced under the most economical tire
manufacturing methods, permits Firestone to sell these extra
process Full-Size Balloons at no extra cost to car owners. And this
in the face of greatly advanced cost for crude rubber brought
about by the operation of the British Rubber Restriction Act.
Gum-Dipping means longer

no extra cost to you!

The following is a copy of a law

The World Needs Them
The "workbench" philosophers say
that all the members of a community
those who retire early in life arc the
very men who should continue work
for the longest periods. That a ma i
can-accumulate a fortune sufficient
to keep him in idleness after the
a#c of 50, or even sooner, is evidence
that he is highly productive. His
particular talent is rare.
Ho is, let us say, the type of man
who can promote, organize and op
erate a large factory. When such a
man quits work .20 years ahead of
time, the community loses not only
his labor, but suffers in the reduced
efficiency of perhaps a thousand oth
ers who might be dependent on this
one man for directing genius. Rork

A BIT OF HISTORY
Where "Th*' Man Without h Country1
Originated
Fort Adams, in Wilkinson county,
Mississippi,, deserves a place amouy;
the historic forts of the United
States because it gave to us the
greatest story on patriotism over
written?Kdward Everett Hale's "The
Man Without a Country." It was
from a letter written by (Ion. James
Wilkinson, commander-in-chief of the
American army in the early days of
the republic at Fort Adams, that
Hale got the name Philip Nojun for
the hero , of his story and many of
the scenes in the book are laid in and
about Fort Adams.
Although Hale's story is purely fic
tion. there was a real "l'hilip Nolan
who ? was in fact a "man without \
country." but not, as Hale wrote it,
becaUse he cursed the name of his
native Jand. This real Philip "Nolan
was an Irish political refugee who
had not been in his adopted country
long before he was joining Aaron
Burr in a conspiracy against it and
eventually was killed by the Spanish
governor of Texas. ? .
The site of* Fort Ad ante has lung
been' a historic .one. The first white
man to visit it was Father Davion, a
Frenchman, who erected a cross
there and called it Roche*. a Davion.
It was later called Loftus Heights,
after a British major who, with 100
men, was ambushed there by the
Tunica Indians in 1704.
During President John Adams' ad
ministration the government bought
the site from Francis Jones, who
held it under a Spanish grant, and
built there Fort Adams, named in
honor of the president. There Lieut.
Meriweather Lewis was stationed for
while before going to the capital
to become President Jufferson's sec
retary and from there Governor Clai
borne and General Wilkinson started
for New. Orleans for the formal cere
mony of receiving the Louisiana pur
chase.
In its early years Fort Adams was
one of the most important military
posts in 'the Middle West. It was at
this fort that General Wilkinson ne
gotiated with the Indians for open
ng a road from the fort through
Natchez to Nashville and 'that part
<of the road between Natchez and
Nashville became the famous
''Natchez Trace."
There is a good sjory told about
one of General Wilkinson's subordi
nates at the fort. The general had
lost his queue and ordered all of his
officers to have theirs cut off. Maj.
/Richard Butler not only refused, but
told Doctor Carmichael, the post
urgeon, that in case of his death
e wished to have a ho'le bored in
his coffin and his queue pulled
ough it so that the general would
know that he defied him even in
DEATH OF GOOD WOMAN.
Cora S. Boykin Was Wife of I'astor
of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.
Cora S. Boykin, wife of Rev. Jeff AV.
Boykin, for many years?in fact
second pastor of Mount Moriah (col
ored) Baptist Church of Camden, died
Sunday night after a short illness
from influenza. This announcement
came as a shock to her many friends
of both races, as she was held in high
esteem.
Cora Boykin was a native of Rich
mond, Virginia, where she was born
and reared and was a graduate of the
Richmond high and normal school and
after graduation was a teacher in the
Richmond public schools. S?he came
to Camden as the wife of Rev. Boykin
and was a teacher in the Jackson
graded schools for a number of years.
She was and has been the president
of the women's State convention for
eighteen years. 'She was the dean of
women in the State college for the
past five years, and had always been
interested in all civic and public
movements for the betterment of thi*
city and state in which she lived.
Rev. Boykin succeeded his father,
the late Monroe Boykin, who organ
j ized the church, and during his pas
torate he and his wife had been a
power for good in this city and section
and there arc many, not only in this
city, but throughout the state who
sympathize with him in his bereave
ment.
The funeral services were held at
Mount Moriah church yesterday, at
tended by a large number of friends,
relatives and sympathizers.
Spartan governors' secret service

Vandals Intrude on rarish House
Rock Hill, May 5.?Intruders, be
lieved by church authorities to have
been a group of boys or young men,
during the latter part of last week
forced entrance to the parish house
of the Kpiscopal Church of Our
Savior here and committed acts of
vandalism, wrecking furniture, break- i
ing crockery and utensils and other
forms of mischief, it was learned yes
terday.
The depredations were not discov
ered until the parish house was
thrown open Sunday morning for ser
vices. An effort is' being made tu
apprehend the guilty parties and to
bring them to justice, it was stated
today.
It was found that chairs and tables
were wrecked, cupboards containing
valuable chinaware smashed, the plat
form split in two, stove dented, churcM
boards, pictures and mottoes torn
from the walls, and other forms of
va nda 1 ism commi11ed.
The parish hoifse will henceforth
remain locked authorities said.

Now I am somewhat older and a j

they do by reason of their training
and their experiences. A woodpecker :
