[ Can you imagine an itsy-bitsy snake

I of a snake that comes from frequent
inspection of Halg and Haig, Old

For a fact, fellow divot-diggers?

But Just about the time that Morty
was ready to make a short pitch
shot to the pin and had aLready taken
his preliminary wiggles for same, Mr.
Spreadhead elected to slide into view

Morty dubbed the shot and before he
could parachute back to calmness, the
match was lost.

and now goes back to five teams.

8EABOARD PARK CHAU3.MAN
REPORTS TO GARDEN CLUB
(By Sadie K. VonTresckow)
Your chuiman conferred with Mtb.
Miller concerning the transplanting
and care of the plants to bo removed
from the old River Bridge and she
agreed to the request of the board
that all planting be completed by October
1, 1942. Members of the committee
will assist her in the seloctlon
of the plants and planting them.
Stakes have already been placed for
the dogwooods and several others.
Mrs. John Wall has given two cedurs
for the park.
Mr. Haley reported that the oats
would be cut by Monday and peas
planted and the bedB worked.
The Garden Club has jurisdiction
only of the section Immediately in
front, and at sides of the station.
The Rotary Club has charge of the
portion where the memorial trees are
planted and the* land on which the
Armory stands Is the property of the
city and county. The Garden Club
has nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately the curbing that was
placed at the request of the Garden
Club committee to protect the center
plot for planting was obliterated by
the city and highway AnglnHftrs when
the road entering into the station sec*
tion was paved. Heavy rains now
cause water to go over the beds and
form in pools at one corner. A new
system of drainage should be Installed
and raised curbing put around the
flower plots.
This was promised by the city but
so far nothing has been done and all
pluntlng by the Garden Club is apf to
be ruined when it is done, if the
plants are put in now.
Awards were made for commercial
town beautiflcatlons to the Southern
Cotton Oil Mill llrst and the Henry
Beard's Esso Ailing station second. "
After the meeting refreshments
were served. The beautiful ice punch
bowl with i^s garland of flowefs received
much favorable comment.
The June meeting of the Camden
Garden Club was held at the home
of Mrs. R. B. Pitts with MIsb Alberta
Team and Miss Helen Phelps as cohostesses.
Miss Celeste Mumford and Mrs.
Hughey Tindal were added to the
membership.

WHEN A FIELD IS
RICH AND FERTILE...
I
You Don't Let It Run to Woodsl
And speaking of legal beer in South
Carolina, it's important to remember
that the beer industry has been a fertile
source of tax revenue to the State
Treasury since 1933.
Just look at the figures! While other
sources of revenue fluctuated* ? here
is how beer tax income has increased:
1933 $150,220
1934 270,294
1935 350,000
1936 569,164
1937 620,673
1938 622,146
1939 832,857
1940 1,125,800
1941 1,668,000
. r. i k.i
The brewing industry wants to preserve
the important benefits of legal beer to
South Carolina?for its own take as
well as for yours?and is cooperating
to keep the sale of beer as wholesome
as beer itself. !
YOU CAN HELP by patronising only
legally licensed places selling beer?by
far the great majority. Others should
be reported to responsible authorities.
