A writer in The Aiken Stnadard is authority for the statement that the plan of opponents of the $65,000,000 road bond issue will be “to propose and seek fhe election of a governor who will discountenance the issue of bonds during the four years from January 1931, to January, 1965,” and that an effort will also be made to have the act amended «t the coming •naion of the legislature. %* Inasmuch as most of the oppoai- tkm to the plan of hardsuifacing the Bute’s main highway* has come from v« few of the Piedmont counties, it , would seem that the coming battle of tho ballots will be waged between "op-country” and “low-oountry.” This is to be regretted, but since the Piedmont intends to throw down the -gage of battle,, nothing remains ex cept for the Pee Dee and Coastal counties to accept the challenge and carry the fight through to the bitter end. And that they will find hundieds ef/allies in the counties where the op- lition to the bond issue is the most *r is an encouraging ^act. South Carolina can never progress as it should if we try to go forward o» the plan of every county for it- aelf. The State must be regraded as a unit in highway construction just as it is a unit in education under'the 6-0-1 law. The strong counties must help the weaker ones, to the end that we all may enjoy equal advantages. The People-Sentinel believes that a candidate who is friendly to the road bond issue can easily be elected Gov ernor this coming summer. The only danger lies in having too many candi dates who favor the issue with the result that the vote may be so divided that two candidates opposed to the bond is*ue may get intp the second xmee. In 4hat event, of course, the opponents of the bond issue would win. We suggest, therefore, that those ih favor of the propose^ State- ends system of hard-surfaced roads their efforts upon one candidate ben work tirelessly for his tlee- ia this way, we can place South hi the firpat rank of progress The Weak Links | m ,V\\ A Bank No. S14.

Warner Bros. Present MAY McAVOY in Evading Gas Taxes. Because of the lack of uniformity among the States in the matter of gasoline taxes, a considerable traffic m “booAleg” gasoline has grown up, in spite of all efforts of officials to suppress it-—— The plan is ,of course, to buy gaso line in s State with a low tax, trans port it across the line and sell it in a State having a higher tax, without reporting the sale to the authorities. This has been dene on a large scale by means of tank wagons, but through increased vigilance by State inspectors a great many g uch bw vio lators have been apprehended k>d made to pay the tax and a fine be sides. Ln Missouri alone $178,574 in evaded taxe? and fines was collected during the last four years, while no one knows how many of the.’‘boot leggers” escaped detection. The practice will no doubt continue to a greater or less extent as long as different gasoline tax rates exist among the several States Selling Had Stocks home of James L. Buist New Year’s night.

H. P. Anderson, Exor., Will of Judson Greene. Jan. 6th, 1930. —a j With utter disregard for blue sky laws, one citizen of New York is selling worthless stocks with impuni ty, ^wording to a writer in Grit, and has made a fortune doing it.

This odd broker, R. M. Smythe, now 72 years old, hag long been an au thority on stocks, and has the history of about 300,000 dead corporations. For 45 yeais he has been consulted by persons holding securities and when he convinces them that their hand some stock certificates have no value, sometimes buys them at a nominal figure. Then he sells them to bankers for wiryiew displays, to colleges for study, or to faddists who use them to paper their rooms. But always he give* his guarantee that they are no good from a financial standpoint.
