NEW MAPS BEING DISTRIBUTED
BY STANDARD OIL COMPANY
I The scenic and touring attractions
of Houth Carolina In general and of
Charleaton In particular have Just
been accorded u new form of recognition
that la certain to bring ubout
a considerable increaao In tourlat
travel tlila summer.
I This recognition appears in the
form of u now pictorial map now being
distributed by the Standard Oil
company through Ksso dealers In
North and South Carolina.
Heretofore this company's road
maps included the Carollnus in a
grouping of live southern states, but
ui'tauou Kti MID iULiDuatiih jiuyuiui
of tho scenic, recreational, and historical
attractions of tho two stutes
among tourists and vacationists from
many parts of the country, the new
1938 map has been restricted exclusively
to the Carolines.
On the reverse side of that section
which gives the highways in great
detail la an illustrated map in full
'colors Which sets forth graphically
the things for which various sections
are famous. For example. Magnolia,
Belle Isle, Brookgreen and Middleton
Gardens are portrayed by realistic
drawings, Kings Mountains is shown
by a picture of its monument and a
grouping of soldiers, and Columbia by
a likeness of the state capitol. Altogether
there are more than ilfty of
thaaa drawlngg all (JOIIS !u oltrnnllva
colors, and emphasizing South Carolina's
main touring atractlons as well
as the chief products of lis ram? and
factories.
i Charleston comes in for special attention
on the new map. A large inset
devoted exclusively to that city
shows the streets, parks, and adjoining
waters in detail. Fourteen drawings
in full colors depict the city's
principal places of Interest to tourists.
I In view of the fact that hundreds
of thousands of maps are distributed
each year to motorists at Esso dealers
throughout the Carolinas alone, it Is
reasonable to expect that tourist travel
will be greatly enhanced by this
new treatment.
VANISHING AMERICAN SEEMS
NOT TO BE VANISHING FAST
Washington, April 3.?The "vanishing
American" is a myth,' officials of
the Indian bureau said today.
The Indian, victim-ef years of conquest
and pestilence, Is reappearing
on the American scene with startling
rapidity.
Bureau officials even expressed con-corn?because?the
lnefow of tho native
Americans was not accompanied
by a corresponding Increase in their
land and resources.
Commissioner John Collier estimated
that the present Indian population
of the United States was 337,366
as compared with 266,000 at the turn
of the century and 846,000 when the
first white man first came to this
country.
The Indian had the advantage of a
high birth rate to offset a high death
rate during the years of pestilence
and fighting that followed the white
"invasion" of this continent.
Collier said the Indian death rate
still was high?13.7 per cent per 1.000
of poulation?but that it was dropping
slowly because of improved living
conditions. The birth rate?22.3
per cent per 1,000? remains among
the highest of any poulation group in
the country.
Flood Victims
Given Aid Here'
Folks, meet Master James Howard
White, two years old and a refugee
from the flood and earthquake at rickon
area of California. Little Jimmy
is but two years old and for a youngster
who has spent the past several
weeks riding in a battered car from |
Riverside, California, he was the j
sweetest, smiliugest kid you ever
looked at when he came into the
Chamber of Commerce office Tuesday .
afternoou.
Jimmy is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart Howard White, late of Riverside,
and hoping to locdte near Richmond,
Virginia, where Mrs. Smith has
relatives.
The White's left Richmond last
year when Mr. White, a skilled mechanic,
was offered a good job in Riverside.
They had been there but a
month when he was laid off. They
had erected a bungalow home and
were living quietly on their meager
bank account when the earthquake
came. . Then little Jimmy was born
and shortly after the flood waterB
swept Riverside, compelling the family
to flee with only a few clothes
they had on their backs,
It was,.the kindly hand of the Red
Cross that helped them in their travels
across the continent. At various
points they were given gasolene, food
and shelter. In Camden Attorney Oliver
Rice, of the Red Cross chapter,
provided them with five gallons of
gas while a Chamber of Commerce official
saw they were fed.
"Reports of the earthquakes and
floods out in California were toned
down by a strict voluntary press censorship,"
said Mr. White. "No one
can picture the horrors of the situation
there. I recall that the papers
gave the total list of drownings at the
Long Beach bridge as 14, whereas the
actual total to meet death when that
bridge went out was over 140. On
our way from Riverside in our car
we had to travdl in a single lane for
thirty miles. Thes lane had been dug
out on the concrete highway through
silt that was four to five feet deep
over everything. The highway officials
told us that It would take a year
to remove the silt. Some of the very
finest vineyards were completely obliterated
by the mud and gravel that
was washed in by the raging waters.
"After the flood it was very difficult
to get anything to eat as those
who had anything to sell skyrocketed
their prices which made it impossible
for anyone other than thoee with
means to get anything. We are deeply
grateful to the Red Cross. They
dijl so much to help us. In the flood
area they gave freely and willingly,
whereas, tho Salvation army relief
groups levied a charge on everything
they gave out. It was 25 cents for a
blanket, 25 cents for a coat. On our
way across the country we had to appeal
to the Salvation army several
Limes and they passed the buck to the
:ity officials on each occasion. The
Red Cross chapters we.ro Wonderful
lo us at every place we stopped and
appealed for aid." *
Mrs. White, an appealing, 'wfktfulippearing
woman, declared that after
.he terror she went through In the
earthquake and flood she 'would have
eft California had it been necessary
'or her to walk and carry her baby
with her. "The people who read
ibout it in the papers cannot lmagne
the horror of the affair. It was
iwful."
Mr. and Mrs, White and JixhuiJ^
Under general average conditions,
200 pounds per acre of natural soda
usually gives cotton an adequate and
profitable supply of nitrogen. Experienced
farmers often use considerably
more to good advantage, especially
under the crop, but 200 pounds
is doubtless safer for the average
user. It should be split, however,
about 50 pounds under the .150 pounds

The side dressing is the secret of the

left in the afternoon and planned to
find shelter at Aberdeen that night
They are looking forward to reaching
Mrs. White's father's home on K.
F. D. 2 out of Richmond, within a few
days.
