Free wheeling may be all right for automobile* and pleasure, but no business mny be maintained at a successful pace with theVdvertising olut-eh disengagedFor more than thirty years in this community 1 have never known a firm to fail that had used newspaper advertising consistently .and intelligently. 1 have noted many failures directly traceable to a business policy that excluded newspaper advertising. People read the home town newspaper both for the news and the advertising. Both must be interesting. The well balanced home town newspaper has been, and will con tinue to "bo, the most important development factor to the home town merchant. Fish are frequently caught by occasionally dragging a line through the water, but the beat strings invariably come to the lures, of the consistent and persistent angler. By the same token,, business success comes more quickly and in larger volume to the merchant who udopts a liberal newspaper advertising policy, stocks the goods the public will buy and follows the golden rule of truth in advertising. Keith Promises Support For Fight / Fditor Greenville "County Observer: From an editorial in last Week', paper, I judge you are somewhat worried for fear the politicians will take charge of the Farmers' State Tax league. There is danger but I for one will not embarrass them. I attended the meeting in Columbia because I was asked to do so by two of the leadcirs of the league. I took o part in the proceedings though 1 am deeply interested in the effort of the league to bring about economy in government and lower taxes. While I don't believe in drafting candidates for public office, I do believe in making a strenuous effort to get good and capable men to fill our offices. We need men who are willing to make some sacrifice to serve their state and county and who are not just thinking of how much the office will pay them in dollars and cents. If we are to have any improvements in our tax situation we must not only see that we have the right kind of a senator and the right kmd of representatives, but also .the ? right kind of men to handle ouf estate nud county?funds. Too? people elect men utterly unfit in character and ability to fill places of great responsibility. Too often the loudmouthed blatherskite, and the fellow who will make all sorts of rash promises is elected, and the truthful, honest candidate is left at home. We are not going to have decent, ~Gohunbia until we can get rid of some of the parasites who are now in power. Our state is now and has been curaed for years with a lot of cheap . politicians who keep in office bv preying on the ignorance and the prejudices of the people. If the Taxpayers' league <?an clip the wings of such candidates an.I help elect decent, honest, capable meij to fill their places it will render a great service and in time we may hope for some improvement in our tax situation. 1 was very much impressed with the calibre and earnestness of the men attending the convention, and 1 trust that good will result. Without hope of reward and not as a politician. I stand ready to do my part as an humble citizen in trying to improve conditions in my native and beloved state. Yours for decent and honest government, W. H. Keith. Heat Wav es We are in the midst of our secoiu or thirc^heat "wave of this summer with very short breaks between There's little mercy in the sun'e worl these long days.

' .'I ??HP?BMCieBgPBaW I Plan Association For Garrte and Fish gg?p, Harry Hampton, who conducts an interesting department each day in the Columbia State under the caption "Woods and Waters/' is trying to form a state association for the protection of forests, game and fish. His articles are read daily with great interest'by those who love to fish and hunt, nnd we know of no one more capable to get sportsmen organized. It will he noted in the fob lowing article by Mr. Hampton that 27 counties have organized, but Kershaw county with its vast swamps for 'hunting and fishing is among the tardy list. Any sportsmen wanting to join in this movement can send their fee of fifty cents to The Chronicle office or mail same direct to Mr. Hampton at Columbia. In the interest of this movement we are reproducing Mr. Hampton's article from a recent issue of The State: "June 26 on suggestion of A. C. Heyward, this column announced that the writer would act as temporary treasurer of a nucleus association of sportsmen whose purpose would be the formation of a permanent organization, whose objects would "be the protection und restoration of the game, fish and forests of South Carolina. "This is our first birthday. It has been just 80 days since this embryo association was born?or rather, conceived. "We hereby celebrate by announcing, that with the receipts 'of yesterday, which included the organization of one new county?Newberry?witlv seven members, 12 additional members from Orangeburg and four from Columbia, 46 counties of South Carolina, in a total membership of 586. "And this is just a skeleton?men, pledged to work for the formation of a permanent state association. "The June 26 installment of "Woods and Waters" was the "acceptance speech" of the writer, and a "Call for Volunteers." A blanket appeal was issued to the sportsmen of the state to take action which they could see was needed. Tt was suggested that one man in each county go out and sign up ten other sportsmen as a nucleus organization, collect 50 cents from each and forward the money with the names to the writer for the expenses of organization and education. It was agreed that the names of these charter members be | published in the column as they were received. "The plan suggested was that as soon as every county that cared to cooperate had organized a chapter of this temporary association, a statewide meeting would be called of delegates from each county chapter. At this meeting a definite policy and program, would be adopted, a legislative committee appointed to draft a set of laws that would meet the present needs of the state as a whole, the best game laws?in existence to be available for study. "The response was instantaneous, exceeding all expectations. When I had been told by. friends that the time was ripe for such a-movement and that 1 was in position to start it, I was doubtful, but the result of this 30 days voluntary campaign has rOia 5j.nArt.smen of South Carolina, at least, whether or not they are backed -by the general public in their worthy purpose, which affects every man, woman, child and unborn babe of this state, have their fighting blood up and mean to assure the preservation of our great natural resources. "Every day brought in new memberships in new counties until nearly 500 members were signed up purely by voluntary effort. Then some letters were sent out and Zan Heyward took a touf through the lower part of the state and started organi, zations in six counties, merely by "telling 'em about it and saying, fGimme fifty cents.'" lie met with ! enthusiastic support in every quac, ter. "It is obvious the sportsmen of tho greater part of South Carolina mean business. "The 27 counties that so far have answered tho call to arms are: Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg. Barnwell, Cal1 houn, Charleston, Chester, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Darlington, Dillon. Edgefield, Fairfield, Flort ence. Greenwood, Hampton, Horry, ? Lee, Lexington, Marion, McCormick, t Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland r Saluda and iSumter. 1 "Of these, "Clarendon and Horry i though represented by a few inde pendent members, have not yet or * g&nized regular chapters. r "Those counties which, at this time are still hanging back, are: Abbeville Anderson, Beaufort, Berkeley, Cher okee, Dorchester, Georgetown, Greeni ville, Jasper, Kershaw, Lancaster, - Laurens, Marlboro, Oconee, Pickens i Spartanburg, Union, Williamsburg and York. "At the state meeting, which will V?^ ?- -?-V JlM Ai ^ T ^ be held when nil counties have been ' given every opportunity to join the i movement, ? policy end program will be adopted to euit the views of the representedvetffrpresent. Neturelly, j the points of view of those' counties < not represented will not be available. 1 As consequence, any county not "in ; on the ground floor" will not have iw interests cared for, and will have to take a chance that the policy and pro- B gram adopted will fulfill its wants. "Why trust blindly to luck? It is the object of this movement i that every section of this state take part in the formation of a new and ftshpolicy for i?)outh Carolina, But unless every county is represented at the state meeting, this will be impossible. It will be to the advantage of each county in South Caro- , lina to form a chapter of this association^ and send delegates to the state convention. "A. H. Counts, The State's news correspondent at Newberry, sends in the names of seven sportsmen, and ' $ 1.60 to pay their dues. They are: Dr. E. K. Stuck, Dr. C. D. Weeks, P. E. Scott, W. D. Hornsby, W. Frank Lominick, W. E, Turner and C. F. Smith. ' ' "He say;*? " 'N$ \yberry county is ready to co-l operate und help carry on the work In forming a statewide association of sportsmen. I am sending you seven members, more to follow in a few days.' " " 'Boots' Cantey comes through with $1 and two more names', S. S. Smith, of 4003 Park street, and J. I.. Barton, 2303 Two 'Notch road, while Mr. and Mrs. William E. Czarnitski bring in their dues. This gives the association five sportswomen members. "Here are the 12 new members sent in by H. E. Moore of Orangeburg: Stewart Murray, J. R. Fogle, B. B. Haigler, R. J. Green, W. Benton Bed, JohA S. Ifarley, E. H. Blackmon, S. G. Dibble, W. L. Glaze, Cecil R. Culler, Rut L. Osborne and L. Bennett." Preliminary Plans For Big Celebration Columbia, S. ., Aug. 3.?A gigantic celebration, the effects of which are expected to touch the four corners of the United States, is to be flNd in Cheraw about the middle of September to commemorate the completion of United ^States Highway No 1, the all-weather, paved trunk-line federal rqadway that extends in its' unbroken ribbon of cement from Maine to Key West, Florida. Preliminary plans for this mammoth day of festivity were laid at a meeting of approximately 40 persons who gathered in Columbia last Thursday from the states of Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia. Mayor R. A. Rouse, of pheraw, was elected general chairman of the committees responsible for lining up the deDails of the program aiul, lie is?tomake appointments of hi? sub-corn-1 mittees within a short time. Prominent speakers told o/ the possibilities of this new highwity, citing! the facts that the tourist tfade will be coming southward this winter in record-breaking throng. Due to the legalizing of horse-rajng in Florida, ;i """ ?<">? traveling, as well as to the attractions' of the South to be reached by that time over this all-paved roadway, an increased tourist trade is bound to result, it was pointed out. .. iSenator _ James Hi. Hammond of Richland county reminded the meeting that the two toll-bridges, one at Mars Bluff, and the other on U. S. Highway No. 1 at the edge of Camden, would have to be eliminated from the stAtajhuhway systejn before the net-work _ of p^yed highways would reach their greatest attraction to travelers. Among other speakers who latidei the work done in securing this new federal highway were: Former senator T. B. Pcarco. of Columbia; Mayor Rouse, of Cheraw; W. E. Harrison, of Rockingham; O. P. Makepeace, of Sanford; Mayor R. M. Kennedy, of Camden; Dr. B. D. McLean, of Aiken, Senator J. A. Spruill, of Cheraw, and many others. Those familiar wjth meetings of this type said that the meeting held in Columbia on U. S. Highway No. 1 matters was the most enthusiastic and most earnest assembly of its kind that they had ever seen. Cities and towns along the route not represented at the ftrsf meeting ' will be urged to participate in the celebration. With the crepe myrtle trees in full ' bloom, the beautification program started four years ago all over Greenville county by 300 farm women has reached a glorious fruition. Other ' trees and shrubbery were planted ; alon* roads, and around churches, ' 8Chool houses and homes, and the Whole county is now a beautcom ' mndscape.
