Why? The News and Courier unaweis "Not power which is cheap and abundant in all parts of South Caro-. Una, not transportation facilities, not water availability, but taxes are the reason South Carolina is falling tso far behind her sister states of the soutl) in Industrial accessions" And that, undoubtedly, Is at least part of the explanation llut the ox isting tax rates are not the only lealutes of the tax system that hurt. The unpredictability of taxes also scares people away In South Carolina there Is no way to know what will happen to the tax rates in any locality. An official of one of the largest industries In America told The State he could llud some localities in South Carolina whore aggregated tax rates are not forbiddingly high, yet he Is afraid even of those localities because "an industry moving In might at any time be taxed to death by local officials." /"""*"** In Its political vlewVMnt, South Carolina has been unfriendly, not friendly, to Industry. That viewpoint is changing, but Industry does not yet know of the change which has not been manifested in the form of an In telligeiitly planned tax structure for the state as a whole. -Columbia State. whattse reader buys Why does a family spend about four cents a week to get a subscription to the weekly newspaper? Four cents a week means just a little more than half a cent a day. It's a small amount. The average child wastes mure than that every day. A special sale, advertising a 3u-cent item for 33 cents, will save seveu cents, paying the cost of the newspaper and giving a profit of three cents. You pay more than three cents a day to rent a book. The home newspaper costs half a cent a day , and did you ever see anybody reading a book who didn't lay it aside promptly when the newspaper came? Every member of the family, from nine years of age up children, patents. grandparents?find something of great interest In the home newspaper. That can't be truthfully said about any book or any other periodical. It costs more per week for any of the following than it does for your luime newspaper: four cigarettes, il\e ounces of. beer, one package, of gum, a bar of candy, one cigar, a cup of coffee. When you've linished reading your newspaper, every other member of t tit* household call stiil use it.

Thla remarkable picture, which la being shown by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate, traces the history of the Southland agriculturally and Industrially from the coining of the llrst white mail, and duplets in a series of beautiful color snots the lands und vegetation that make up the South. Of the first settlers. It says "They opened up a wilderness! Hill and. tableland?and over^ kind of soil, sandy loams and clay loams, soils of many colors?yellow, red and black. Kvery kind of land for any kind of crop, and no frost half thy year. A young land and a great people, hardy, resourceful and proud." The 111 in then traces the development of the great agricultural empire of the South. "In 1793, six .thousand, bales of cotton. Whitney Invents the gin two, five, ten million bales?from the heart of the South. And Cotton was King!" Tracing the modern development of the South, the 111m then portrays a world of change, with giant cities and growing towns. Rising Industries are shown, based on the vast natural resources. The underlying aim of all this development, It Is pointed out, Is economic Valance through self-containment. Taking up the problems of the modern South, the picture brings to the farmers messages from several agricultural leaders. They draw attention to the front lino of attack on farm problems ? the agricultural experiment stations maintained by each state. Shown at work are scientists who spend their lives studying for improv-i ed farming methods. Here results achieved by various ratios of plant: food?nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and potash?are compared in accurate controlled plots. Plant vigor and plant diseases are studied, as aro also ways and means of keeping the. land young?how to save if fromj wearing away. To achieve self-containment, the tllin shows, the South, especially in time of war. needs an unfailing sup-, ply of low cost nitrogen. The scene then change&rrfthe great plant of Arcadian Nitrate at Hopewell, Virginia, largest of its kind in the world, which is providing such a supply. For the future "The New South foresees self-containment for a more prosperous South, Southein agriculture building Southern Industry; home industry supporting Southern farms, more and better crops, with profitable markets awaiting them, and homefolks buying from homefolks.

An attempted kick for the extra point failed. Outside of this run by Coyle, Gaffney was outplayed on both offense and defense by the Bulldogs. Camden made sixteen first downs as against one for tho Oaffney team. Camden gained 297 yards from scrimmage while Oaffney gained 37. Only in the fourth period was there any action on Camden territory. Outweighed ten to twelve pounds to the man, Camden baffled every effort on the part of the Invaders to gain by grouud plays and broke up all passing attempts. Again and again Camden marched to within twenty yards of the Oaffney goal line, once traveling to the ten, but fumbles or Interceptions broke up the parade. The Oaffney score came with a suddenness that shocked tho big crowd of fans. The Bulldogs had been pushing Invaders over the gridiron throughout tho period. But scoring threats (lied on fumbles or pass Intercept Ions. With the ball on the thirty, when It had been taken through some fine line work by Sheorn and Hough. Cox faded back to pass. The pass was intended for Bundrlck but Coyle or Gaffney 'raced'" In, leaped high Into tho air, snared tho ball and upon regaining his feet was off like a shot along the west sideline. Bulldog taeklers fluug themselves at him but he eluded their outstretched hands and the last twenty-five yards he was far in the clear and went over Into pay dirt standing up. Druggist's Wife Is Injured In Crash Mrs. Garnett Kittrell, wife of Dr. KlttrfeU, who Is chief pharmacist at the DeKalb Pharmacy, here was painfully injured In an auto accident on the Eastover road about six miles from Camden Sunday morning.
