V J;.;A GOOD business man, adequately capitalized, can build himself a * profitable business in this city seUing Buick and Pontiac cars. Pontiac is the fastest-selling Straight Eight in the world today. Throughout the United States, it is outselling every other car in its price range by a comfortable margin. It has the size and the style and the price to win buyers in a big market. This, is proved by these , facts: More Pontiacs were built and shipped during the first five months of 1933 than during all of 1932; and June sales of this popular car exceeded May sales, which is an unusual record and further proof of Pontiac's fast-growing popularity. Buick is, of course, the great popular favorite among all medium-priced cars. During the first five months of 1933, more Buicks were sold than all other eights priced above $1,000 combined. Furthermore, the number of Buicks. ^ and Pontiacs already in operation here should assure a dealer who operates an efficient service station a good business in Mparts and service. The capital requirements are reasonable. Previous automotive experience is preferable, bpt not essential. We want a good business man who is " looking for an unusual opportunity ... a man who will devote his time and his abilities to selling and servicing these two great cars?helping each owner to get the most pleasure, satisfaction and economy out of his purchase.

C. * r fifth congressional district o (By Walter I. Villepigue) Following the census of 1880 South Carolina became entitled to seven representatives in congress, having been allowed but five during the pre vjous ten years. Prior to the election of, 1882 the state was re-districted, the Fifth District having been outlined almost as it stands today, there having been since then only three alterations, qone of which made any very material change. When Cherokee county was formed it was made a part of the Fifth District, and when Lee county was constituted about 30 years ago, taking a part of Kershaw, Lee county was added to another congressional district. After the census of 1910, in order more nearly to equalize the population among the different districts, Fairfield county was added to the Fifth District, which now comprises the following counties: Cherokee, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster and York. After the census of 1930, South Carolina lost a representative and has now only six. It became necessary for the legislature to re-district the state so as to eliminate one district, and this was accomplished after extended consideration and discussion. Somewhat strange, it would seem, the Fifth District was not disturbed and remains the same as it had been previously. It now has the shiallest population of any district in the state. The avefnge population of districts throughout the United States, according to the census of 1930, is 280,672. Of course the average may vary in different states. Following are the congressmen and population of the different districts in South Carolina: First, population 260,439, representative Thomas S. McMillan, of Charleston. Second, population 338,668, Representative Hampton P. Piflmer, of Orangeburg. Third, population 291,0.W, Representative John' C. Taylor, of Anderson. Fourth, population 306,346, Representative John J. McSwain, of Greenville. ?Fifth, population 235,093, RepreI .tentative J. Prioleau Richards, ol !>ancaster. Sixth, population 307,168, Representative Allard H. Casque, of Flor -V .,? * J ence. In 1882, after the .state had been re-districted, John -J. Hemphill, of Chester, was elected to congress from the Fifth District and served for ten years. He went.down to defeat in 18D2 before Dr. T, J. Strait, of Lancaster, who was an active and ardent exponent of the^Farmers' Movement, which was then sweeping South Carolina. Congressman Strait served for three terms and was succeeded by D. E. Finley, of York, who was elected in 1S98, after a thorough and strenuous campaign in which the principal contestants were Dr. Strait, Mr. Finley, W. A. Barber, of Chester, who at that time was attorney general of the state, and who was a very able and popular man. Mr. Finley remained in congress until his death in January 1917, after he had been elec- I ted in the year previous for another term. Following Mr. Finley's death, Paul McCorkle, who -had held a county office in York, became representa-, tive, continuing only until the 4th of j the following March, the beginning of the next regular term, when he' was succeeded by William F. Stevenson, of Kershaw. As is fresh in the minds of all, last year J. P. Richards defeated in the primaries Mr. Stevenson, who this spring was designated as chairman of the Home Loan Hank Hoard, a very important national government organization. Mr. Richards is one of the youngest members of Congress and was swept into office on a popular wave which brought about many changes There appears in the Congressional Directory a biography of the various members, generally rather short, anc following is the sketch concerning Mr. Richards: James Prioleu Richards, Democrat of Lancaster, 'S. C.; born at Libert> Hill, Kershaw County, S. C., August 31, 1894, the son of Norman Smith Richards and Phoebe Gibbes Rich ards; worked on a farm and attended country schools of Kershaw Countj until 17 years of age; attended Clem son College for two years, where he had a scholarship, and then entered the University of South Carolina graduating in law in 1921 after being out of college for several yeara; began the practice of law in Lancaster S.
