o'clock Saturday morning, May 22.

Hail Does Damage.
Chesterfield, S. C.,, May 12.?The
drought which has had the farmers
in this section of the state handicapped
for the last six weeks, was broken
last night with a heavy rainstorm
along with plenty of wind and hail.
Hail damaged the young crops heavily
and boday there is a number of the.
planters buying more fertilizer and
cotton seed to replant their crops as . _
the hail and wind completely destroyed
all vegetation. A rough estimate
would place about six thousand acre3
of cotton and corn destroyed.

"It's always seemed to me that these
motorists who go shopping around and
always buying any old gas never get
anywhere at all. They never accuS
mulate any dividends of motoring
satisfaction. Instead, nine cases out
of ten, they just bring a lot of grief
home to roost: no pep in the old bus,
no pull on the hills?always a chatter
and a complaint from the engine.
"In the long run, it pays to stick to
"Standard" Gasoline?always dependable."
