condemning the purchase of news- :
gtfpit-s by interests affiliated or identified

"Be it resolved by the Southern
Newspaper Publishers' Association,1
in convention assembled, that the pur- j
chase of newspapers by interests
affiliated or identified with the1
power and newsprint, or similar in-1

icy, and is a menace to a free press
and free institutions of these United

STATE PRISON CROWDED.
y *."> i v
Palmetto Penitentiary Hu Larger
Population Than for Many Yepra.
Columbia, July 2.?The atate penitentiary's
population ia today larger
than it has been in many a year,"
states Col. James N. Pearman, super*
Intendent. "There are more priaonera
on our rolls now than there have been
since the days of the hosiery mill, the
factory operated in the prison which
was abolished under the administration
of Governor Blease," said Col.
Peari^an.
There are, according to the superintendent's
records today, 746 prisoners
under the care of the penitentiary.
Of thip number 601 are in the penitentiary
in Columbia, and 144 are on
the state farms, "We have never had
anything like such a number at the
prison iWe," the superintendent said.
A year ago the state's prisoners totaled
approximately 650.
When Cpl. Pearman became superintendent
shortly after the beginning
of the administration of Governor
Richards, the penitentiary's rolls contained
the names of 447 prisoners.
In recent months prisoners have
been received at a rapid rate, said the
superintendent. There are one hundred
federal prisoners listed at the
penitentiary, these being boarders,
the federal government paying for
their upkeep. These have been at the
prison for some time. The increase,
however, is due to the rapid influx of
law violators in recent months.
Superintendent Pearman stated
thut he does not believe the increase
of his population is so much the result
of increasing crime, as it is from
the growing tendency of the counties
to send prisoners to the state prison.
Various reasons are assigned for the
transfer of prisoners from county
jails to the state prison. In many
cases they are sent for- "safe keep,
ing."
_ Of the prison's population, totaling .
745, there are 65 women. This is the
largest number of women the penitentiary
has held since the days of the
hosiery mill.
The Fourth of July death list this
year was 159, or 46 under the total of
the same date in 1928. The reduction
is attributed chiefly to the decrease
in the number of deaths from drownings
and from the heat.

the
Rainbow?
Nowadays it seems to the
average motorist that there
is a different colored gasoline at
every gas tank he draws up to.
If you ' tve tried these gasolines
?if you have been "through the
rainbow" ? we ask you to do
two things.
First, note that the new "Standard".
Improved Gasoline is not
colored.
Seoond, try this gasoline and
compare the results with any
other gasoline at regular prices you
have ever need in your car regard'
less of color or claims.
Compare it for power, mileage
and anti-knock qualities.
Thousands of motorists have already
made this comparison.
The result is that more than twice
ns much "Standard" Improved
Gasoline is i:ow used as the nearest
competing brand! _
An oil company with^the greatest
facilities lor producing a
finer gasolintf is back of "Standard"
Improved Gasoline?in bock
of it 100%.
Remember, it's performance in the
motor that sells gasolineI Prove It
yourself I
^Turning on icicles /or the
"north poU" room where "Standard"
gasoline is tested in temperatures ranging
from 120 above to 40 below zero.
Besides the "Standard" proving ground
there is only one other laboratory with
apparatus complete enough to brine outside
road conditions indoors. It is the
Bureau o/ Standards in Wosfungtont
