Highway# Must IW Cleared of Bill
boards for Ten Feet on Kaih Side
(Sunday's Columbia Record)
The highways of South Carolina
will not be marred by .signs and other
hazards, of an advertising nature, ac
cording to an order issued l>y Samuel
McGowati of Columbia, chief high
.way commissioner. Mr. McGowan
has instructed all maintenance forces
of the highway department to re
move every sign along state high
Ways.
The order effects all signs within
ten feet of the outer edge of both
sides of tht* roads, according to the
limit of the law on the subject..
The idea for the removal of the
signs on highways originated with
Chief Commissioner MeGowan whilo
he was on a visit to ^Sumter. Ladies
of the civic club in Sumter urged the
highway commissioner to aid them in
their efforts to beautify the roads
of Sumter county. Mr. MeGowan,
after an examination jnto his rights
Snto the matter, issued the order.
Not only is the order one that
will aid in plans of local authori
ties to beautify, their roads, but the
measure. 7s designed to eliminate all
possible hazards on the highways. An
abundance of signs of every descrip
tion ^are believed to interfere with
the effectiveness of the sighs placed
by the highway department for the
safety and convenience of motorists.
JJome signs also, it is said, have such
cautious admonitions as "Stop," and
like exclamations, . which nullify the
effectiveness of sych signs placed
by the authorities.
While on a visit to Charleston
county last week, Chief Commissioner
McGowan was impressed with a sign
on Route No. G, between Charleston
and Savannah, placed by county au
thorities at *each grade crossing. The
sign with the word "Stop" shows the
skull and cross bones and is regard
ed as a very effective measure de
signed to make motorists "Stop, Look,
and Listen." Chief Commissioner Mc-.
Gewan is planning to have similar
signs placed at all grade crossings
in the state, if the plan "is 1ound
feasible.
The Richest Man
(From tlhe Tampa Times)
Bitter though the, pill must be,
Wall Street, is obliged to declare
Henry Ford the world's first billion^,
aire. Wall Street watches Henry^
like a hawk and when the Fo^pj
Motor Company filed its balance sheet
for 1924 with the Massachusetts Com
missioner of Corporations, as requir
ed by law, Wall stfeeters sharpened
their pencils and figured up the total
value of the company to be $863,000,
000. This is on the basis of shares
being worth $6,000, which is said
to be the extreme miniipum esti
mate. But the making of cars is
only one of Ford's money making in
terests. He manufactures tractora
and airplanes, and operate boat lirias,
railroads, lumber camps and coal
mines, all of which add to the total
value of his property and brings it
above $1,000,000,000.
A comparison of assets and liabil
ities for 1923 and 1924 indicates that
the Surplus- of the Ford Motor Com
pany was increase^ by $100,435,416
during 1924, and the Wall Street
estimators put this down as the net
profit for the year. The company
made 2,100,000 cars and trucks last
year, which would mean an average
.profit of $47 on each machine. Profits
on the 172,645 shares of stocks may
be estimated in the. same way. At a
par value of $100, profits would be
582 per share, or 582 per cent. No,
you cannotr buy any of this stock at
any figure. 4 It isn't for sale.
Last year was Ford's best year.
He sold cars at the rate of 250 an
hour, 24 hours a day, for -the 300
working days. He paid his employe^
$253,0^1,528 in salaries during the
year. And to think that the Ford
company was incorporated only 22
*years ago with $28,000 in its treas
ury. The story of its growth is the
great romance of modern industrial
history. f

OLD SANTA BARBARA
Pacific Coast City of California Re
cently llurd ili^t by Karthquake
On and near the site of Santa Bar
bara, California city recently damag
ed by earthquake, is a medley of
meadows teeming with wild flowers,
rolling country dotted with groves of
noble live oaks like a well kept park,
mountain, canyon, flourishing citrus
and olive groves, walnut orchards, and?
the blue Pacific with its sandy
beaches and rocky headlands. To th:>
wealth of "raw material" the hand of
man has added much. On the hill at
the head of a plain sloping gently to
the sea the old Francis an fathers
pl a nted Santa Barbara mission, proT>~
ably the best known of those > relig
ious edifices that were strung along
the "Camilo Heal" in Spanish days.
On the two^mile slope between the
mission and the ocean the city grew
up a sleepy Indian and Mexican vil
lage at first, then an American town
of typical Californiaus,
Thanks to the barrier of the Santa
Yner mountains, which rise to a
height of M'veral thousand feet im
mediately behind the c 1 1 y , Santa Bar* J
bara is sheltered from northern winds
and has an. almost ideal winter cli
mate. Because of this and the large
winter ) colony that has been drawn
thCrc, the city has come to be called
"the American Mehtone," after the
well known resort on France's sunny
Mediterranean coast.
With the city's growth in popular
ity, the hand of man added still more
to its charms. People, of wealth mov
ed to Santa Barbara from all jjarts.
o<' the United States to build hand
some residences and develop exten
sive estates, until now Santa Barbara
has one of the largest "millionaire
colonies"' oh the west coast. The cen
ter of this development, with its ad^.
juncts of country clubs and polo
fields, is in the suburb of Monteeito,
in the coastal hills several miles east
of Santa Barbara.
The city of Santa Barbara extendi
from the edge of the Pacific up the
foothills of the Santa Ynez moun
tains. Many of the business houses
are on relatively low ground not far
from the Pacific. Residences have
been built up the mountain slopes to
the north, east and west.
Because of its mountain barrier,
Santa Barbara's railways enter the
city along the ocean and afford trav
elers for many miles east and -west
$fthe city some of the most inter
'eating befean views to be found on the
West coast. At places the rails are
only, a few feet above the high water
mark, and if large tidal waves had
swept inland doubtless much o i the
track would have been demolished.
The main highways which connect
Santa Barbara with the remainder of
the state also parallel the coast. So
close <Jo the hills approach the oceatii
east of the city that at places it has
been necessary to drive piles into the
beach and construct the road on them
around the cliffs. The motorist driv
ing over the "sea going" stretches of
highway often hears the breakers
thundering immediately beneath him.
Santa Barbara is situated on the
only extensive section of the coast of
California which lies almost directly
east and west. It is about 300 miles
down the coast from San Francisco
and not more than 75 miles from the
port of Los Angeles. .Its 'situation
has made it famous as a place for
water sports. About 25 miles off
shore lies a string of partly sub
merged mountains, the Santa Bar
bara islands, which make Santa Bar
bara channel between them and the
mainland a yachtman's paradise. Inj
the Santa Barbara channel, almost as
placid as a lake, the United States
naval vessels built on the Pacific
coast are given their speen tests.
It is in the winter that Santa Bar
bara draws its greatest throng of
tourists. The city has dozens of
hotels. In the green foothills are
several of the best country clubs and
golf courses to be found in the state.
