C. \ Commander-Elect Spoke Over Radio On August 4th at seven o'clock radio station WLS at Columbia, S. C., put on a fifty-five-minute program under the direction of Mr. Henry Cappelman, State Service Officer. Mr. Cappelman introduced Comma/ider-Elect A. Stanley Llewellyn, of Camden, who, in a threeminute talk, tried to bring out the fundamental principle on which the program of the legion in the state will be operated this year, namely, that each and every ex-soldier should he enlisted in the ranks of the Ia*glon; that every one of these men have different talents and all these put together will tend toward the accomplishments for which the legion was formed. He also said that the legion needs the cooperation and coordination of every citizen in order to carry out the ideals which any thinking man will agree are high and noble. Mr. Mollis Cobb, of Paw Creek, N. formerly of Camden, and a member of the James IxHloy Bclk Post No. 17, of Camden, sang several numbers, "The Old Refrain", "Joan of Arc", "Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight", and "There's u Long, Long Trail."

Mr. Henry Cappelman then went over new law which has recently been passed in explanation of the acts. He also took up statistics of the office and brought to light the tremendous amount of work that <is being done in that office. Time did not permit him to go over as much in detail as he would have liked to, but his listeners did get a glimpse of the volume of work this office is doing and the cases they are handling.

The function was over by 10:30 and everyone agreed that it was very successful. i Kate Reductions Appeal. In spite of temporary business recessions throughout the country, SoutheFn territory seems especially favored with excellent agricultural prospects and continuous commercial ; activities. Reduced prices on many commodities have increased purchasing, according to bankers and statisticians who add, as a further index to public optimism, that travel records' show continued interest in vacations, week-end trips and excursions to a degree which indicates every public faith is uninterrupted earning power. The spirit of thrift is evident, but the transportation industry has well sensed this phase of public interest, meeting it in the form of exceptional reductions in railroad fares. Response to this policy has been immediate for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, according to the local office of the company. In addition to the seasonal excursions annually offered by the railroad, this year it announced reductions x>f almost half the usual rate on round trip tickets bought Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in July j and August. Although the rates apply i only to coach transportation, with tickets bearing a fifteen day limit, literally thousands in the territory covered by the Atlantic Coast Line have taken the opportunity to enjoy a two-week vacation, a "trip back home" or even a trip of only a few days, which the reduced fare makes so economical. There has also been considerable ' demand for the " special thirty day ! tickets, which cost slightly more. ! "People have been quick to take ad, vantage of present rates," said a representative of the railroad yesterday, "Because these li>30 coach fares offer not only a money-saving, but more rapid transportation, greater conven-_ ience and increased safety. Little by little there is a growing inclination to 'Travel by Train,' especially since the publication of the fact that train casualties last year were only 95 as compared with 31,000 who were killed in motor transportation. People who are vacation-bound, or who travel only occasionally, don't want to entertain the thought of any danger. | This, very likely, accourtts for a most : gratifying response to the exceptionI al reduction in fares." Travel, according to authorities, j . represents a $4,000,000,000 industry in this country. It is the expectation j >' the big transportation companies that rate reductions will so appeal to | the public that the 1930 business of i favi. may exceed the four-billion figure. t c . ! Seriously Hurt in Car Turnover. ! ! Sumter.?A man who gave his 1 name as E. L. Brown, was seriously injured Wednesday when his car , overturned in a ditch. He was taken to a hospital in a semi-conscious condition. Sanitarium Opened i Greenville. ? Greenville county's new tuberculosis hospital this week was put into active service.

Ballanger, former cashieft of the Bank of Duncan, la charged in a true bill returned by the Spartanburg grand jury, with , violation of the criminal code 'by en- | ten rig the bank and taking therefrom a certain New York draft which he used in registering the amount of $500." Ballenger is also under indictment for breach of trust und grand larceny with fraudulent intent in connection with the failure of the Bank of Duncan, which grew out of the shortage of D. G. Miller, former county treasurer. Dead Girl Identified. Anderson. The girl who was killed in a wreck at Anderson Monday night has been identified as Miss Daivy Bell Pysey, 7, of Greenville. , W. Bernar Vause of Brooklyn, for- | rner Kings county judge, has been sentenced to serve six years in Federal prison following his conviction for fraudulent use of the mails.

My .eyes aren't good at long range, and I thought they were graekles. They were busy, .impudent little fellows , with a snuppy wulk and J rather liked theip. They nested somewherd north of my place and visited me only to hunt bugs on the lawn, so I never had opportunity to hear their song or see their eggs. Hut something made me suspicious last Sunday and I shot one. My tardy hunch was right. The thing was a starling?little more than half as large as a grackle. Though both are black, with a skeen of blue and green and purple, the starling's eye is black instead of yellow and its black feathers are tipped with buff. Fifty pair of them werfe brought to New York from England only a few years ago, and already they have become a nuisance in many cities. Washington and Baltimore are fighting them, but making little progress. National officials have urged Boy Scouts to kill them. They multiply rapidly and ruin any community where they develop 9 colony. Give them three years and they will drive every other bird except the abominable English sparrow out of town. They steal the nests of 1 other birds, rolling out the eggs to m-ake room for their own. Hollow trees are their natural home, but when they must stay they will steal open nests or build their own behind chimneys, under eaves or inside of old j buildings.

I | I Some people at first are inclined to say, "1 can buy insurance cheaper in other I companies." This Company takes pride in selling what it believes to be the most complete life insurance coverage and charging for it a rate which fully justifies and j 1 guarantees the liberality of its contract provisions. We believe there is no financial guarantee or investment offered in the world I today more certain of fulfilment than a New York Life policy. \ | What do our policy-holders think of this program? There is a way of testing S j their opinion; do our policy-holders use their dividends to reduce their premium j | payments, or do they leave their dividends with the Company to accumulate? Here | j is the answer: * rI In 1923 the percentage of applicants for New York Life policies who I elected to leave their dividends on deposit with the Company was.... 47 per cent I j In 1926 63 per cent I In 1929 to date 80 per cent I j This is proof that policy-holders insuring in ,the New York Life Insurance Com* 1 pany do so with two reasons: both to protect their families in eytent of their death, I j and to accumulate money for their own old age. Obviously if the rates were lower there would be less accumulation for the future. rhrough the entirely voluntary action of our policy-holders the total of the div- I idends left on deposit wi i the New York Life at the end of the year 1928 was I I $54,308,584, which is many times the amount left with any other company so far as we can ascertain.
