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.

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

I The dose of a liquid laxative can be

[: not take a "double dose" a day of

laxative irritate the kidneys.
