Washington, June 5.—According to Congressman Hare, of Saludst, nearly everything is to cost more Xmder the new tariff law, he said today. Taking only a partial list of his necessaries, a farmer will pay $166.4Q/a year tariff taxes under the new bjil as passed by the house. ‘‘If the farmer’s hoy wants a $20 bicycle, it will take/nim an entire week pickirg cotton W $1 a day to earn the $7 tariff on it,” said Mr. Hare. "A $4 rabbitskin hair trimmed coat would cost him $6.50, if he wants an ordinary simple barrel shotgun, he’d have to pick cotton two ard one half weeks to /arn the $15.50 represented by the ‘Wriff tax. Some one in. the family dies and the farmer wants to buy a/tombstone valued at $100 he will have to pay ar extra tariff tax of 50./ Two blankets containing any o/l whatever and valued at $3 each ’will cost $4.80 extra. A $20 suit of othes will cost him $11.25 extra for ariff alone. A plow valued at $20 will cost him $4 extra. A $1 pocket knife 50 cer*« extra. A cross-cut saw valued at $5 carries an extra tariff tax of $1, and $10 worth of nails will cost him $3.50 extra. A $20 saddle will cost $7 extra and a set of wagon har ness valued at $10 will cost him $3.50 extra. “Meanwhile his wife will be payirg $12.70 for aluminum kitchen ware val ued at $8 and 92 cents for a 50 cent pair of scissors, $6 for $4 hats and $10 extra on the “family’s year supply of shoes.” Klkuko Tokugawa. the daughter of Southern Goodyear Day to Be Observed Barnwell Filling Station to Celebrate Opening of Mammoth Plant at Gadsden, Ala. Watermelon Growers „ Met Here Tuesday Sentiment Almost Unanimous for Se curing Federal Shipping Point Inspection Service. When- the wheels of the row Good year factory at Gadsden, Ala., the first major tire manufacturing plant in the South, start turning, the name- of Barnwell might well be imprinted orrthem—to mark the expansion of a great major industry in the South. For the Barnwell Filling Station, local Goodyear dealer, is among the foremost in insuring the success of the big plant. This firm is joining with other dealers in this territory to celebrate this new unit in Southern industrial progress by selling, in ad vance, an entire day‘s output f° r big plart—5,000 tires. If you stop at the Barnwell Filling Station’s place of business, you will see it bedecked for the occasion. If you talk with any member of the or ganization, you will be ir/ected by the enthusiasm that the Gadsden plant has inspired. The local dealers are all set to go— on a one-day drive that will smash all tire saleg records for a territory of this size. “We are going to make ‘Southern- made tires for Southern-owned cars’ a slogan with a ^UNCH”, says Lloyd A.

The regular monthly meeting of the Girl’a Auxiliary was held Monday af ternoon at the home of Mrs. H. J. Phillips. After the regular program had been rendered by the members delightful refreshments were served. In response to an unexpected num ber of inquiries fo'r an explanation of the unusual power found in the new Chevrolet six. James M. Crawford, re cently appointed chief of ergineers of Chevrolet Motor Company, discussed this subject with technical editors last week. “The abundance of power found in the new Chevrolet six is made pos sible by its short stroke engine de sign, which embodies an advanced method of cooling,” he said. “This cflr.stiuction bring! water around both inlet and exhaust valve seat#' It'dif fers radically from the Siamese sys tem of valve ports, and make for greater durability of the valve train. “In* starting off any new engine de sign, one of the early considerations is how motor be in order to lay out the chassis into which It must At. On account of the Import er ce of wheel base, it is desirable to keep the motor length down to a min imum. This is ore of the conditions which has brought the small bore, long stroke, high speed engiiye into the picture. “Durability being one of our first requirements, we did not feel that we should shot ter* the engine to meet a certain wheel base. We chose, rather, to design a motor of the short stroke and medium bore type. In order to insure round cylinders, we decided to circulate water completely around all the bores. Therefore, after the bore was determired the cylirder length was automatically governed by the bore size, and the bore eiae wag de termined after taking the stand that a short stroke, low speed engine was the only way we could insure dura* bility. ’ “This is quite the contrary to the way most engines are Laid down, where c*v?t is an important considera- tiqr. Generally, the designer short ens the motor by increasing the stroke and reducing the bore. In this case the length* of the cylinder block ig them determined by the valve area rather than the piston head area. On ac count of this limitation, in taking ad vantage of the small bore and keeping the cylinder block as short as possible, the water is invariably taker, from be tween the valve ports, at least between the inlet and exhaust valves. Racing experience and dynamometer test work, where high engine output is mamtained continuously, have defi nitely proved that a compromise in this direction is responsible for a fall ing off in horse power on account of valve warpage caused by uneven tem perature at the valve seats. “Ir* the Chevrolet six design there has been plenty of room allowed for water completely around all the valves, both on account of the piston diameter and the fact that the valves are com paratively small. A large diameter is not recessary on account of the com paratively low maximum speed of the engine. “In addition to the value of well cooled valve seats, it is important th 41 * the proper valve clearance be main tained at all times. In this respect the overhead design is at a considera ble advantage compared to the LJiead construction in that the adjustment for the valve clearance i* much more ac cessible. Ir, the ordinary aide valve de sign, K is necessary to remove several plates to get at the valve adjustment. Invariably the valves are located in an inaccetaible place and spoc al BREAKS DISCUS MARK CONTINUES TO AID IN IODINE WORK RESOURCES COMMISSION THOR1ZES ACTION.

PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR BEGINS RESIDENT WORK Sur day the congregations of the Barnwell, Williston, arid Blackville Presbyterian Churches met at Black ville, for the Ordination and Installa tion of their pastor, the Rev. Stephen T. Harvin. The Rev. L. B. McCord, of Orangebuig, delivered a very appro priate message for the occasion, after which Mr. Harvin was ordained to the Gospel ministry by Charleston Presby tery. The music for this service was exceptionally fine and all enjoyed it. The Installation service was also in charge of the Rev. Mr. McCord. A charge was delivered to the pastor by the Rev. S. C. Byrd, D. D., of Colum bia, then a charge was delivered to the congiegations by the Rev. W. 8. Scott, of Bamberg. The service was a most Impressive one. This Is one of the first •ervices of its kird that hat been held in this section of the State for some time. Mr. Harvin accepted work in this field last September and since that time has been coming from Atlanta twice a month to conduct services in the churches, which have been with out * residert pastor for some time. It is believed a bright future lies in store for them. • • These churches take this opportu nity to extend a cordial invitation to all of their many friends to attend their services. It is expected row that the services will be as follows: Barnwell, the first Sunday morning and the third Sunday night; Williston. the third Sunday morning and the second and fourth Sunday nights; Blackville, the second and fourth Sun day monrlrg and the first Sunday night.
