FAITH ReVlVEOl,
. . ?* i?
Our faith in the government has
Juat been revived by a little counting-house
experleuce, the telling of
which may comfort other# who have
been misled by stories of Waahlugton
waatefulue## and extravagance.
'l'lie experience co#t u# nlno cent#
but we whall frame the documentary
proof of It and prize It a# though it
wore a lteiubraudt. In the regulur
course of business wo printed In our
advertising column# a little notice for
the Farm Security Admlnstiatlon and
billed the office for the chargeamounting
to $3.90, which figure was
obtained by multiplyIng the per inch
rale by the number of inches by the
number of insertions. A standard
ruler was employed. We swore It
was right Hut the general accounting
office, audit division, would allow
ouly $3.si. It knocked off one line
showing dates of publication, "which
is not properly chargeable to the government,"
and excluded from the Inchage
the "shoulders" of the type slugs
or lines, which made a difference of
nt> inch
All types have shoulders and printers
think they are necessary, but you
can't fool the general accounting oflice.

arms, doesn't she?

THE TRUTH OF IT
If you spend your money and throw
it nway on useless pleasure that can
do you nor others any good if lias
to come either out of what you have
saved or out of what you have burro
wed.
In either case you are getting poorer
and poorer the longer you keep up
that sort of play.
It is about the same with a nation
of people When the people decide
that they ai'e allowed to collect motley
and substance from their own government.
they run over themselves to
see who can get the most of it. One
great difference of course is that the
government Is spending the money of
the people themselves because it is
raised by taxation Imposed upon them,
and although they do not know it\thoy
aro piling up big debts that they flually
have to pay themselves.?Horry
Herald of May 25.
DELINQUENT TAXES
Governor Maybank. in a speech at
Hock Hill, again called attention to
twelve million dollars in delinquent
taxes due South Carolina. That is a
pile of money which, had it been collected
and properly used, might have
prevented to a largo extent the deplorable
financial condition of the
state The governor expressed the
hope that the legislature would draft
a deflnitc pkm for the collection of
these unpaid taxes and he urged thai
m future tax inflections bo kept up
lam The majority of property
owners in South Carolina pay their
t.t\e> Tim ta * that twelve million
dollars In tax money lias not been
paid shows hat great injus'ice h.isi

WILBUR SHAW,
thm 1939 mrinnmr *
On May 30th, Wilbur Shaw drove to \
his second victory in the 500-tnile
Indianapolis Race on Firestone
Champion Tires at an average speed of
i 15.03 miles an hour. Champion race
divers, whose very lives ana chances of victory depend on tire
safety, know tire construction. That is why they select and buy
Firestone Tires foF their racing cars.
CITY FILLING STATION
MARIONS SERVICE STATION
A merciless sun beat down upon the speedway as Wilbur I
Shaw drove to victory on Firestone Champion Tires. The I
blistering brick of the main stretch and the granite-Kard surface I
of the turns and the back stretch put tire safety to the test I
i supreme! Record after record was shattered. Speeds reached as I
high as 160 miles an hour on the straightaways, as 33 of the H
fastest drivers in the world waged a breath-taking battle I
for gold and glory.
Never before in all the history of the motor car have tires I
been put to such a torturous test. And never before has any I
tire so firmly established itself as a Champion in construction I
and performance, as well as in name. Here is dramatic proof I
of the extra strength which the revolutionary new Safety-Lock I
cord body provides in Firestone Champion Tires-?of the extra I
protection against blowouts assured by the new and advanced I
Firestone patented Gum-Dipping process ? of the extra I
mileage resulting from the tougher, wear-resisting rubber I
compounds in the sensational new Gear-Grip tread. I
No longer can there be any question of which tire is safest. I
One tire?and only one?provides these exclusive safety
construction features. One tire?and only one?has been on|
the winning cars at Indianapolis for 20 consecutive years. 1
Motor car manufacturers enthusiastically adopted the Firestone I
Champion Tire for their 1939 models. Order your fteiv car I
equipped with this amazing tire. Or drive m and let us equip I
your present car with a set of new Firestone Champion Tires, I
the one tire ? and only one that is safety-proved on ik* I
speedway for your protection on the highway- !
