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.

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.

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?^

^
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.

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.
