In fact, he declared tha^ when stacked one on the other, the telegrams would reach a height of five feet:—7 . ^ Letters by Airmail. One morning^ last week, Mr. P. W. fro mhis son, Mr. E.

That number literally brought dow^a protracted shower of telegrams into WSB and the an nouncer at the tadio station said that he had never put such a rendi tion of spirituals on the air from WSB before. All -in all, Orangeburg for some two hours permeated the atmosphere Saturday night and incideritly did a wonderful piece of advertising for the State as well as the town. The Bureau of Industrial Tech-, nology says it costs the United States FOURTEEN BILLIONS A YEAR to buy automobiles and keep them running. That’s more than the amount lent to Europe during the war and it is also a better investment than the war loan. From Europe for our ten billions we get criti cism, the accusation of meanness.
