Friday, July 17, lt?l John Wunnamaker, department store owner, had about as fine a knowledge of the science of merchandising as any man who ever figured tn American commercial life, relates the Memphis Market Master. He started with nothing and he died worth $60,000,000. lie made his money as p merchant. Ha was one of the heaviest buyers of advertising of his time and his ideas of what advertising is worth ought to carry weight. Likewise his ideas of merchandising tactics. He advertised more heavily in times of depression than when business was good. "When business is good, he is reported to have said, "anybody can sell goods. You don't need as much advertising then. We advertise most heavily when business is poor and trade needs extra stimulation. Be cause the poorest policy in the world for a merchant?or anyone who ims anything to sell?is to quit advertising." Twftftty^five yoars ago, Pyle's fearline, Soapine, St. Jacob's Oil, Hood's Sarsaparilla, Sozodent and Sunny Jim were household words from orte end of the country to the other. Bach was an puljjtiAnding..j)rtlcle of its kind,, used and valued by millions of people. The quality remained the same, bqt the firms making these articles got to the point where they thought they didn't have to ndyertise and now these brand names once worth mil' (Vv lions of dollars through sheer good will, are not worth anything. The ptoblic forgets easily. Who ran for .president against Roosevelt ? Who wa? Wilson's opponent in 1916? Who ran against Goolidge? During the campaign in question, when these candidates' names were in the paper every day, every man, woman and child knew. But nine-tenths of them have forgotten long before this. His Lmt Bui The inspiration tor Vox Fontaine's "Toonerrille Trolley" cartoons, a trolley conductor of East Orange, N. J., t, tt*4. .Malty a daily paper reader wfi?i has mused and smiled over the incidents of the trips of the "Toonervilla Trolley," as vividly and artfully s^t up by ^Cartoonist Fontaine, will breathe a sifh of genuine regret. Theenan'i name was George A. Imes. A dispatch says of him: "Mothers entrusted their children and housewives their marketing to him. Ho wouldn't stdrt his car until all regular commuters were aboard; he escorted inebriates home und directed strangers. When the motor bus put his line out of commission, a job was waiting for him in the Public Service terminal in Newark. Imes was here to help the world along?> Hundreds knew and loved him."? Spartanburg Journal. ' How to"Cbeck the Tragedies? r True explanations of the next 100' head-on Collisions between autonpi-( biles occurring in South Carolina would be interesting. They would also be illuminating to those capable of seeing light. j. the highways there are these explanations: Car attempting to pass another car on a curve and meeting one comltif in the opposite direction, when there is neither time nor space in which to avoid collision; car passing another on brow of hill and meeting'another coming up and over the hill front the other side. The offender in these cases is not careless. He is reckless and criminally reckless, for he is needlessly putting the lives of others in jeopardy. The third possible cause of head-on collision is driving so fast that the driver", even when sober, loses control.- Intoxication must be responsible for all other head-on collisions on the highways. In the cities, where there is room in the streets, cutting corners, on the wrong side of the road and especially at speed, or by "drunks" wabbling in front of other cars, are the main traffic violations resulting in that kind of collision. The observer will see just as much corner-cutting the day following bhe report of tragedy for which that sort of driving was responsible as he would |N the day before. How than are conditions to be cured? We do not KlNOW, but there it juwt one reasonable hope. Fhrst, promulgate, officially, the rule# of the frond'for highways and in towns, and then set .officers to apprehend the'violators. Don't wait fat accidents. Fine them five dollars for comer-cutting 'the first week, ten thfe second, fifteen the third and twenty the fourth, and by the end of the month dven the boys' and girls who drive will know there is. danger in recklessness. When parents have to pay fines they will see that the youths know and obey the rules?or walk. Likewise if 50b persons are fined two dollars each for running over the "stop" sif<n in Columbia in one week, and 250 are fined five dollars each the next week the driving public will curov to know that the gtop sign is a police order; that it is there to be obeyed, and ndt for the driver of the car to decfde whether he or she will obey. ?t iwr not. ul* Substantial und even heavy fines should be imposed on those passing others on curves and ftt the top of hills. Such people are a terrible menace to others who are using the roads, properly. But they will not heed that risk. . They will take a chance of a collision sooner than a chance on a $80 fine. If highway patrolmen get bhe proper support from magistrates, and force a substantial reduction in these major violations they will justify themselves ten-fold and satfe many lives. Intoxicated drivers, like crooked jockeys, should be barred for all time ?or at least until they can establish proof of their reform.?The State. General News Notes The Augusta, Ga., father of Otis Johnson, who died of sunstroke last week on the chain gang of Greenwood county has written a dramatic and strong protest to The Augusta Chronicle against what he calls the barbaric system of punishment for crime in South Carolina. His son was one of several boys who stole an automobile in Greenwood when they got homesick, and the father says that was only a boyish prank. Op the chain gang, the father says, the boy wore chains and after all day on the roads was set to cleaning up the camp, although he had complained to a guard that he was not strong enough to stand the work. He was 18 years old and was sentenced by Judge Mann to two and a half jyeafrs for stealing the automobile. - His father thinks the offense a smajl one and the .sentence and punishment too much. ' Clark W. Parker, G9, who began life in a Michigan log cabin, and earned distinction as an engineer and inventor, long served as a trustee of the Church of the Strangers, and is a grandfather, was this week sentenced by the Federal court in New York along with his son, Wyman C. Parker, to serve five years in the Atlanta Federal prison and pay a fine of $M,uoU each foi using the mails to defraud in a stock sales scheme. Adolfo Dominguez, acting Mexican consul at Chicago, was sentenced this week to six months in jail for contempt of court, when he failed, to stop talking after the judge told him to, when he had appeared to defend a Me xican citizen charged with \-agrahe-v. The arrest' and imprispnmpnt has further stirred animosity of Mexico City, already riled because of the failure to convict an Oklahoma deputy sheriff for the killing of two Mexican students. Mrs. Hadley Moseley has been indicted at Nashville, Tenn., on a charge of murdering Richard Acklen, young society man. who turned from newspaper reporting to bootlegging and killed her husband in a dispute over liquor territory. The principal witness against the woman before the grand jury was her 8-year-old son. Acklen's body was found in a bedroom of the Moseley home a few days before he was to go on trial for killing Moseley. The woman's motive for killing Acklen i> said to have been jealousy because of his attention* to another woman. Night baseball in the near future has become a certainty for Greenville. C. B. Starnell, who resigned the first of the year as auditor of the state highway department because of ill health, died at Columbia this week aged 30 years. He leaves a wife and daughters. lie came to this state from Atlanta. The - motor vehicle bureau of the stat# frUfhway department is adVised that suspend the? drunkeh drivers before their copvie* tion ahd also'suspend drivers license* on any grounds it seems 3uffi<ient. Also, for the second offense of driving drurtk, a magistrate may n?tj fitf* pose sentence, but must bind th^ dc[ cused over to sessions court, stdield upon conviction the sentence mujt bo' to the chain gang without alternative fine. ?- * 1 * 4 **. ^ 11 I A Ji/f^ntenc# wu given Caesar B. Cockraif at Sumter after his ?oarictton of killing Kara Hodge iai ca^ venge for Hodge giving officer* Information about OolkrelT* still. A year ago Frgrtk Jennings was giv*n a life sentence for urging "Cockrell , to kill Hodge. Skate detectives have been sent to Aiken at the request of the officers ' there to help solwe the mystery about who killed Mrs. Bertha Collins, of Horse-Creek Vt^Jey, and left her bat* 1 tered and scalped body road last Saturday. The investigators are still without a clue to the murder. /clii Fifteen persons were killed''Otl South Carolina highways in June, two more than in May, and 7 of theip ' were pedestrians hit by automobiles'. Reckless driving caused a dozen of the 93 accidents, 17 were caused by careless driving, another dozen by speeding, 9 by drunkeh' drivers, and 10 by defects in the caV.' Besides the killed, IB persons wcrO seriously injured and 00 slightly itfjurdif In June. Gaffney officers found there Jack Overby, alias a number of other names, and a 17-year-old school girl from High Point, N. "C., for whom the police of the Tarheel city have begn looking for three weeks. The couple were married at Gaffney June 20, the night of the day on which both disappeared from High Point. The man is said to have a family at Gibsonville. _ V ^ Conditions at the Greenwood county chairs-gang were ordered thoroughly investigated <by Governor Blackwood this week, owing to the death frQpi sunstroke there of a convict; 1$; It Johnson, of Augusta, Ga., who had stolen an automobile, and the published complaint of his father that he had been overworked and abused, after being kept in jail without exercise for three months. The sheriff of Dillon county sold 88 tracts of land on July sales day for nonpayment of taxes by as many land owners in that county. Franois Johnson, of Columbia, com-r ing home late at night, picked up a cat and hit his wife and baby with it. It scratched the two. He was fined $10 next morning. The department of commerce has let the contract for equipment and current for lighting the mail air route from Florence to Jacksonville to an Omaha company for $28,000. The South Carolina drivers licenses made of aluminum and easy to carry on a key ring have been so popular that the first 10,000 the department bought have all been sold and another 10,000 bought. The cost is ten cents to the motor division of the state highway department with the oTcT paper drivers license. The governor and attorney general of South Carolina and the governor and commissioner of revenue of North Carolina agree that nothing can be done for two years about the $50 tax imposed by the Tarheels on Palmetto trucks carrying peaches and garden truck to North Carolina for sale. The tax is a revenue meas-uui?passed liy the legislature, and only the legislature can change the law. The protests, especially from Spartanburg and Greenville Were emphatic. Clark's Hill, Anderson county, makes gruesome claim to the fl?6oi*d< for speedy funerals. A man died1 there at 11 o'clock in the morning and was covered up in a grave at 7.o'clock that same evening, in rnc men rrnmC) i besides the funeral services, a coroner's jury had sat on the body and brought in a verdict that the man died from gunshot wounds inflicted by his brother-in-law, and the latter was put in jail. Tho Rotary International in convention at Vienna, Austria, this week, will hold its 1932 convention at Seattle, Washington, on June 24th. King George and Queen Mary celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary Sunday at Holyrood palace at Edinburgh. It is reported from Rome that a solution of the controversy between the Mussolini government and the Vatican has been reached whereby the reopening of thousand* of Catholic clubs will be allowed in Italy. The North Carolina board of medical examiners this week licensed ST new physicians to practice in that state. The number of unemployed in Germany on June 30 is given as being 3,902,000, a drop of 38,000 in two weeks. . ,, The New York game conservation department last year collected fines totaling $10^,1.83.40 from 6,574 violators of the game laws of the state.

Ky.. Wednesday Revival Meeting to Begin A revival meeting will begin at |JeHverdam Baptist church Sunday evening, July 2?6th, at H o'clock, Wej want to make this a home coming ( weejc and all the old members who have moved away and all who are interested Jn .the progress of th ?' Kingdom's Work at this church are cordially invited to attend this meeting. Rev. D. Mack Rivers, pastor of the Riveraide ^Baptist church, Colum- l bia, a very eminent speaker , and singer, will help in the meeting. The public is invited to attend ?hisyme*?ting, says Rev. T. P. Christmas, the pastor., rr; Many borderline counties are interested in the ne wtux of $50 a year on all foreign trucks hauling product into North Carolina for sale. York county sells vegetables and fruits; Spartanburg county sells peaches and garden truck; Cherokee county sells vegetables; Chesterfield county sells peaches; Kershaw county sells peaches. It has been suggested that n Federal law controlling this interstate commerce is needed, as the new North Carolina law seems impregnable and unchangeable except by the legislature. FIX PRESSES APPRECIATION We were requested to publish the following note of appreciation: "In order that the citizens of Camden and Kershaw County might know better what they have at home, I take the greatest of pleasure in-thanking Dr. John W.
