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.

Church Picnic
Ends Fatally <
Columbia, Oct. 0.-?An Epworth .
league party at Twin Lakes, a resort |
about seven miles from Columbia, j
came to a tragic end 10;30 last night
when a truck, lade^with about 20 j
members of the league,^ fan off the ,
pavement near the poityt where the .
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.
