SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY ??? ? j BIRD TAOOKI) IN FLORIDA Last Year Captured at Ware Shoals in Thin Slate Greenville, Oct. I.?A chimney swift may not have the host voic* y in the bird kingdom, but ?when it coiiich to traveling he is among those present. \S'. T. O'Sliield, of Ware Shoala, in chaining out the chimney of hi* home recently drove out 2IK of the birds and caught one having a band on its leg bearing the number. (5050-1. W.riting the Bureau of Biological Survey, Department of Agriculture, in Washington, Mr. O'Shield received a reply containing the information that the bird was banded at Tallnhas-. see, Kla., on October 1, 1 U27v by ('has. O Hand ley, li. I.. Stoddord, and Mr,' Stringer Thus id the course of a year, the bird had wended its way I north ?l?out 500 mile*, and was' probably ready to return South again when cuught. The letter received by Mr, O'Shield from the department says that important investigators regarding emigrations of birds and others facta- in their life histories are made by the use of aluminum bands attached to them by volunteer citizens. Success of the work depends upon reports being made by persons finding birds thus marked. Franklin I). Roosevelt has been nominated by the Democratic convention of New York for the governorship to succeed Governor Smith. M?R( HANTS AND THEIK B1LI.S *. i Why They do Not Act Like Public Utilities in Serving the People Why is it? That telephone bills are paid promptly ? That checks are aent at once for ga- and electric light accounts? That the installments on furniture,! automobiles, radio and the like are, met without delay ? That mortgage interest ia taken rare of and notes are taken up on th?' very day they become due? 1 no answer is not difficult to find, the Carolina-Virginia Retailer tells it., merchant readers, for each and every one of its creditors has effec' ii v?* means of compelling payment a*. I the specified time. The telephone companies, the concerns which furnish gas and electricity, the installment houses and the banks all feel that they are justified in enforcing the terms agreed upon in the original contract. ' Hut stores, on the other hand, stand in such terror of the bugaboo of "lost business" that they permit,bills to lay for months, without taking action which would secure payment and avoid tho expense of long drawn-out accounts. It is, of course, argued that if a [customer is pressed he will take hii ' trade elsewhere. Hut do banks operate on that principle? If on? bank demands the prompt payment of a note, does the customer for the only merchandise the bank sells immediately transfer his account? No, because he knows every bank in the city would be equally insistent upon prompt settlements. | Why should it be different with stores ? The fault is general, but the remedy is individual, In oiider to educate the public to the prompt payment of retail hills, it is necessary for all stores to live up to the letter of their agreements with patrons precisely as if they were banks?which they actually are as soon as they extend credit. Until this is done merchants must reconcile themselves to take "what's * m left" after 'customers have paid other obligations.

Camp Jackson road turns into the Garner's Ferry road and turned over. ( Mrs. W. T. Phillips, 601 Whaley street, one of the chaperons, was instantly killed and her husband, a foreman at Grahby mills, was painfully injured. Only three suffered hurts sufficiently serious to confine them to the Columbia hospital, where they were taken, for several days. Others received treatment at the hospital and were later dismissed, their injuries being superficial Sidney Shealy, 14, of 829, Whaley street, who was driving the truck when it ran olf the pavement, was injured and Is a patient at the hospital. The young people were laughing and talking as they rode along, some sitting in the front of the truck, two on top, and the rest of the young people sitting on the back or standing behind and holding on to the cab over the driver's sent. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips occupied two chairs on the truck. The truck came down the road from Camp Jackson, and the party was singingf'"Glory, glory hallelujah" just before they came to where the Wilcat road turned into the Garner's Ferry road. The driver, according to members of the party was not familiar with the road and had difficHjJLtyuin (negotiating the turn, which came quickly upon him. In addition, there was a car coming from Columbia, , and this ' complicated the situation. Swe/ving hastily to the right, the truck went off the road and turned over. Aid was quickly given by passing motorists. Mrs. Phillips was apparently killed instantly and was lying on her back when found. Her husband, injured about the back, was nearby and dragged himself to her side. Sidney Shealy, driver of the truck, fainted a few minutes after the accident and was carried to the hospital.
