How South Carolina Saves
it la estimated that the total as*
sets o( Building end I/oan Associations
in South Carolina now excead
thirty million dollars. Within recent
years they have been responsible for
the saving of more than a hundred
million, dollars. Of this amount, of
course the greater portion was saved
for the purpose of erecting or
purchasing a home. In its erection
the funds saved were spent for South
Carina materials and labor, and the
homes thus built added much to the
taxable value of the property of the
state. In addition to the acquiring
of a home, however, the savings of
Building and Loan Associations were
amassed for various other purposes.
Millions of funds thus saved were invested
in doctor's bills, hospital expenses,
education, trousseaux, hope
* chests, wedding rings, hdneymoons,
automobiles, retirement. of accumulated
debts, and for various and
sundry major necessities of life. The
basic principle <>f Building and l*oan
is thrift. These Associations teach
our boys and girls to become bette-*
citizens and to learn early, and
persistently continue to practice
thrift in every walk of life. Building
and Loan Associations iri South Carolina
fortunately are home raised,
home financed, home managed, and
are great mutual community builders;
profiting only the share holders,
the communities and the state at
large;-with no remuneration for professional
developers. ??

Prisoner54 Years
Pleads Por Pardon
Boston, Feb. 36. Je^| Ptoiueroy.
for 64 years a prisoner behind the
walls of CharUatown state prison,
thinks he has found a loophole In the
verdict and sentence which kept him
in solitary confinement 40 year*. Since
the days in the now misty
past when Governor ttice commuted
the death sentence which had been
imposed upon him at the aye pf 1$
for the slaying of Horace Millan,
Ppmeroy has appealed to every governor
of the commonwealth for a pardon,
but now he will take his pica
to the courts.
Through J. L. Farquhar, his attorney,
he plans to ask the supreme
court of the state to conaider his contention
that although the jury found
as a fact that there had been no premeditated
malace in the killing, it
nevertheless found him guilty in the
first degree when, according to Pomeroy,
he was-only guilty/if at all, in
the second degree.
Furthermore the aged lifer will
assert that the verdict was never recorded.
As a third ground, he plana
to contend that when Governor Rice
commuted the sentence of hanging
that he did so to "solitary imprisonment
at hard^ labor for life." Pomeroy
says that the statutes provided
for no such punishment.
Pomeroy probably has served one
of the longest sentences in history
and it is believed here that hip 10
years in solitary confinement are
without parallel in the records of
criminal jurisprudence.

Hy 1890 over a million tons o/ seed
were being crushed?for nothing

developments were worked out, first
for separating the seed from tne
hulls, thus getting more oil and leaving
a cake that could be used as feed
or fertiliser; then for cleaning the
hulls to get (inters. In 1926 they
crushed 5,528,243 tops of cottonseed.
Its value was $256,027,431?

most of us can remember when cottonseed
could hardly be thrown
