Among the interesting political an nouncements of the past week is that of Colonel J. Emile Harjey, of Barn well, for re-election to the House from Barnwell County. Colonel Harley was a member of the free-f*onference com mittee on the last appropriation bill, representing the house economists on that committee. That committee, afr ter l>eing in executive session for ten days, brought in a bill-carrying an appropriation of $9,654,000, a$ against a hill passed by the hou^e carrying an appropriation of ten and a quarter mil lion dollars, in round numbeis, and a bill by the senate of more than eleven million dollars. Colonel Harley dur ing his legislative career has stood for the abolition) of useless offices and commissions, for consolidations, and for curtailing the expenses of the government to the lowest point con sistent with efficiency. He waa ’ the author of the recent anti-trust • law and the resolution to investigate cer tain oil and gasoline companies, which is estimated resulted in a saving of inUjlionB of dollars to users of auto mobiles in the State, thi* price of gaso line having dropped from twenty- seven to twenty three cents within two wetks after the passage of the law. He is a member of the important judi ciary committee of the house. Two yea is ago he was elected on a plat form of economy and consolidation, and he consistently stood upon that platform in the general assembly. So far there appears to have developed in Bannwell County no opposition against him or his colleague, the Rev. D. W. Heckle, who.is also a candi date for re-election. At the next ses sion Colonel Harley is expected to be among the leaders continuing the fight for consolidations which means the aboliation of useless and over lapping departments and commission and devolving their duties where those duties should be placed and remain. —South Carolina Gazette.

Name Address that this oil is better for when the motor 7 idles or when the hill is steep, you feel the difference— it’s an oilier oil which takes a hold on metal and “stays put” A real road test Sixty cars and trucks Were operated for two months with a good oil com* monly used by motorists, and then for two months with “Standard’* Oil—nearly 200,000car miles in all. The same gasoline was used throughout. With “Standard” Motor Oil these cars averaged 8.596 greater mileage per gallon of oil. The better piston seal and greater power resulted in 12.796 more miles per gallon of gasoline. The greater oiliness of “Standard’* will have the same effect in your car. STANDARD MhTOR OIL “Standard” Creases, Transmission Oil and Gear Compound are made tvith the same care as “Standard” motor fuels and motor oils. 99 Cf MISS IRENE RENEW WINS COUNTY HEALTH CONTEST The County Health Contest was held at the Court House in Barnwell on Thursday, May 3rd.
