Stroup, director of the motor vehicle division of the state highway department said here today that residents of the Camden section of South Carolina had reponded splendidly in the department's early sale of 1934-35 motor vehicle licenses. Tags must be purchased and displayed before November 1 for owners to avoid payment of a penalty or a fine. Since the licenses were placed on sale early this month, the department has received many more applications than it had received at corresponding time last year. In the past week, the advanoe sale has been particluarly heavy. Stroup said that he believed .the ready response was because of the .half-price tags and because times were better throughout . the state. All motof vehicles of the state must display 1934-35 licenses by November 1. All renewal ( licenses purchased after that date can be^^cured only by payment of a penalty. ' Drivers of tagless vehicles are subject to arrest and fine. Again this week inspectors and patrolmen of the state highway department are in all sections of South Carolina to assist vehicle owners in the purchase of the new licenses. Assigned to this community is Inspector W. T. Bell, who will be at Redfearn Motor Company on October 23,?31, between the hours of 9 a. m. 1 and 5 p. m.

MOM or IACN NOSTRIL 90S...SO - HELPS PREVENT ' lay eoMi Homely Advice Given By Philosopher ..In my design for livinK 1 have been compelled to give foremost consideration to the necessity of earning a living. The ability gradually to improve my standard of living has been a satisfaction and joy, and I make no apoU ogy for taking this materialistic view , of life, says a writer in the Imperial Type Magazine. 1 discovered at 'a tender age, that I was never so content as when I had ' just finished a hearty, meal, or when a hearty meal was in prospect, 1 , have never had occasion to alter that point of vie>g, , so that whenever 1 choose a turn in the road Jam disposed to ask whether tho physical comforts are as alluring in one dp-ec- i Hon as in the other. I would nut ' cheerfully trade lily way of life for Ghandi's. On the other hand, I am not am- , bitious to own more of this world's ' goods than I need at the moipent. Un- : usual power and wealth do not at- , tract me because they carry with ' them too much responsibility. I like ( the tang of daily risk and adventure, , and I should not care to play the ( game so safely or be so well-fixed that these were lacking. Once tho, bread and butter problem 1 had been more or less mastered, I undertook to get as much pleasure as 1 I could out of my working hours. I i detailed to others the duties which I i regarded as unpleasant. I retained for myself those duties which I enjoyed performing or could not escape. For example, I have always liked to white, and by a delightful twist of ; fortune I have been able to do bettet financially by writing than by any ^ other occupation. >?> J I have made no sacrifices to be a' 1 writer. Barely have I written as much as a paragraph for print unless [ it had been ordered in advance. The business of writing for pay began 1 when I was sixteen, and has contin- ! ued uninterruptedly evdr since. The opportunity to engage in business came because I could write, and not because I was a business man. In j my opinion the qualities that go to make a moderately successful busi- j ness man are more common and more , easily developed than the qualities that go to make a moderately sue- eessful writer. I came to this con- j elusion before I reached my majority, and decided at that time that if the ! opportunity were presented I would j be a business man, in whole or in part. Throughout my mature life I have noted that, professional men who are able to introduce some element of 1 business into their activities enjoy incomes far larger than are obtainable by thbir strictly professional brethren. Furthermore, they don't have to work half as hard. This may be heresy, but I t^hink' tljat so-called business men tajce a share of the communal product that far exceeds 1 their contribution. The intellectuals often irritate me. when they sneer at business men, but I much prefer the society of intellectuals. Most of all I enjoy the company of men who are intellectuals by instinct and business men by necessity. For the ordinary run of conversation, however, I turn to women if I wish to be spared disappointment. I regard a stag dinned as something that can only be endured by customer's men. Two or three men can spend a pleasant evening in conversation, but a dozen men have no resources other than drunkenness, craps or bridge. Next to a companioname and interesting wife which is the necessity of every man, I think an easy chair, an open fireplace, a good bed, and plenty of wholesome and tasty food, are life's greatest blessings. By the time you reaclfc my age, which is forty-four, children are also indispensable an<^ give a meaning to life that might otherwise be lacking. I also think it is well to have plenty of second choices, so that if you lose in one direction you can partly make up your loss in another. Throughout this depression I have aken solace in knowing that reading, gardening, research, serious writing, :heap travel, and plain vagabondage leld possible delights for me which I should like to explore. If circumstances compelled it, I might turn to >ne or more of them with a deep sense of relief. In reading, I have purposely negected score of books because I do lot wish to Teach any time of life vithout a shelf full of time-honored looks to which I can turn to escape >oredom. It may ajso be news to my riends that I am saving golf and iridge and cross-word puzzlejf, for the lays when there is nothing effco more nteresting to do. Walking tempts ne even now, but I hate to leave good rompany for the doubtful pleasure of Tamping city streets alone. When I ived in the country it was different, n those days a couple of eager dogs ould take me away from any group. Those who have followed my writtigs in recent years know that I am believer in the philosophy'of E. W. lowe, the octogenarian Kansas, who. tever three of repeating that success s easier-than feihrra. Hell is right . To Address Red Cross Conference Washington, D. ?C., Oct. 22.?"Today's Challenge to the Red Cross" is the title of the message which V'ico Chairman James L.

The man who persists in going J contrary to the laws of nature and organized society is not only a fool but a glutton for punishment. There isn't) any fun or permanent satisfaction in going to hell. Those who have tried it even cautiously will testify to the truth of this statement. , i The depression has made me wary giving advice to others. In this! brief essay I am trying merely to express my own preferences. I still believe in thrift and individualism. I lave enough confidence in" the future this country to think that our money is worth owning and saving. [ also believe that most Americans are like myself, preferring to be poor n a shack where we enjoy personal liberty, rather than well-to-do- in a ommunity house where we are regimented like orphans and convicts. fc~~ " """" """"" J.HSHMHH9BSBWB55HHHS8SHBRH68S State Forest Service Ready For Fall Fires 1 t Florence, October 22.?With the approach of the fall forest lire season the State Forest Service and other agencies that are cooperating .in forest fire prevention and extinction in the Pee Dee Forest District, are planning to have full forces in the field! within the next few days, according to announcement made today from the Florence office of the State Forget, Service by H.
