undoubtedly the members of the denomination
will rally to the support
of the institution.
The Program of Deliverance qf the
Presbyterian "College has not as yet
reached its goal, tho begun in the fall
a year ago. In the meanwhile cam- j
paigns have been conducted by the
Lutherans for Newberry college; by
the Associate Reformed Presbyte|
rians for Erkskine and Due West
with excellent results. It is anticipated
that an announcement of the successful
completion of the Presbyterian
iCollege Program of Deliverance
will not be, delayed so very much
longer.
The College has opened with an excellent
enrollment, and faces an active
and successful year. It is one of
the best equipped institutions of any
denomination , and indeed in the
South, a very vital cog in the development
of the state.

To Delinquent Taxpayers
I have received from Mr. A. J. Beattie, Comptroller
General, a letter calling on me to collect all taxes in
iny hands, according to the law. I have only a short
. time to collect these taxes. Any one owing back taxes
can save by coming to the Sheriff's office and ipaying i
same at once. Don't put this off, for it is important.
If they are not paid at once I will be forced under the
law to levy on and sell property to satisfy all unpaid j
taxes in my hands. I hope those owing back taxes will
come in at once.

MIRACLES OCCUR QAILY IN

YiUchlnellke Precision and
Promptness.
I.- i..Ncw
York^?Miracles are performed
evory day ut the New York Stock ICxchange?hut
they're miracles of efficiency
und business dispatch.
When G,OUO.OOO,OOO shares ure now
sold In n single session und counties;*
millions of dollars dally change hands,
the lay public often wonders how a
humanly devised machine can take
cure of the Stock Exchange traltlc, can
escape monstrous errors and ruin,
K. H, H. Simmons, president of the
exchange, tells how In the North
American Uevicw. It's because It is
u machine, a perfectly assembled machine,
tliat the exchange grinds on
with Its exact und manifold trunsactiohs.
Perhaps you thought that sale of
stock needed great bags of gold to
litter the stock exchange floor. Well,
you're wrong. Neither money nor the
Securities themselves appear. The
only coutructs there are verbal contracts.
Buying and selling are by
word of mouth, and the accounts later
are settled through a clearing system.
The stock exchange, Mr. Simmons
reveals, Is a machine of six parts. The
first is the floor; the second is the
stock clearing corporation, which supervises
the daily task of settling
contracts. The third Is the quotation'
system, where current prices are carried
to all. parts of the country by
electric ticker.
The fourth Is made up of the commission
houses operated by stock exchange
members as brokers, where
the public may buy securities. The
fifth consists of the facilities maintained
on the floor, for borrowing and
lending money on securities and the
last Is the administration organization
of the exchange, centered In Its
governing committee.
AH of these parts, developed since
in 1702 the first stock market in New
York met under an old buttonwood
tree In Wall street, function together
to make the exchange the marvel of
business engineering It is. But the
real heart of the speed and efficiency Is
to be found In the clearing corporation.
"By cutting down to a minimum of
delivery of security certificates and
payment of money amounts between
stock exchange members with each
other," Mr. Simmons declares, "It
saves each day the employment of
many clerks, the utilization of considerable
sums of bank accomodation,
and very much time In effecting settlement.
. s "The corporation has steadily Increased
the scope and efficiency of lt$
Work In recent years and continuing
progress In this regard seems likely to
occur over the course of the next
decade."

Milking Barns Needed To Meet City
Ordiiuuice.
Clem ton College, September 15.?
The standard milk ordinance is being
udopted by many of the towns and :
cities of South Carolina and this ays- J
tern of grading and inspecting, when
intelligently and carefully supervised,
will undoubtedly prove of great benefit
to the dairy industry by encouraging
greater confidence in the quality
of the milk supply, says J..J\ LaMaster,
chief of dairying. Many
dairymen have been told by the local
boards of health that their old barns !
will not meetv/,he requirements of
this new milk ordinance for high
grade milk.
An economical plan for farmers to
meet this situation is to construct
small barns to be used only to milk
their cows in. This barn would have
concrete floor and gutter, and suitable
stanchions, or ties for holding
the cows wfhile they are being milked.
No bedding would ever be placed
in this barn, nor would any feed be
fed in it. This making bum could be
j made large enough* to care for approximately
half the mi%|ng herd at
one time. The old barns, usually
available could then -be used for
housing and feeding the cows.
By this system facilities are provided
which give the opportunity to
produce a quality of milk equal to
that produced when equipment is
available that is of extremely high
cost, according to Mr. LnMaster.
32,225 Road Signs -^ome Down
The disreputable rpad sign has had
a hard summer in Pennsylvania,
where employees of the department
of highways have completed the destruction
of 32,226 road signs embodying
every "type of blur, daub,
scrawl and tattered legend."
The campaign was statewide. Illegal
signs came down, whether on
right-of-ways or on private property
without specific permission or lease.
Those that imitated official markings
were ruthlessly destroyed, as were
all "Stop" or "Warning" signs.
Erie county, according to reports,
led in the movement, getting rid of
6,427 signs. This good work could
be followed r with profit by every
state and county in the union.?Orangeburg
