suggest that all State-owned colleges
put in the following course at once:
1. How to live on 10c a week.
2. How to get a berth on the gov

3. How to hitch-hike.
4. How to solicit aim-, (meat and

5. How to find a job.
6. How to rid the country of poli

WHERE SOME OF YOUR TAX
MONEY GOES.
• (Ir.-ome Tax.)
1. There are thousands of nice
young men out in the wood* and
bushes with spyglasses hunting for
new worms and flies. Uncle Sam
d<e«n’t need any new w rms or flies,
but he’s spending several millions * f'
dollars-a-way every month—princi
pally because somebody wanted those
job*.
and that together with B small rain
in Texas, caused July to recede to a
new lew for the season. Henry Ford

day in sympathy with the bonus, and
he is using 3 pounds of cotton a
week in his rumble seat. That will
help— nimble seat rider*. We advise
more suicide* or less cotton.

2. Right this very moment, hun
dreds up-n hundreds of men and
women are engaged in trying to And
out how many whiskers the eruditeola
gnat has, and which one of his hind
legs he scratches hi* left ear with.
They earn nothing, but draw good
salaries—meaning the employees, not
the gnats.
Come Seben-lebem.
-...I am not a financial wizard. In
fact, all I kmw about finance is—I
fan scarcely finance my own houfte
hold and kitchen furniture, but I
can’t understand what, the-ell the
price of stocks has to do with wheat
m nd oats and eye. If the government
would abolish the «tock exchange and
convert it into crap-shooting and
poker-playing, the same result would
be obtained, as the gamblers would
•till be gambling. The only trouble
about that would be—some arrange
ment would have to be made to trans
port southern muckers and western
lambs to the gambling den—where
they could continue to be “nursed
dry.
Looking Backward.
Summer is here. I saw 5 sun-
back dresses, each with a girl therein,
<m the street la*t week. They are
being cut dangerously low this sea

plentiful. Neither one of these lasses
had curvature of the spine, as*far as
1 could see and that was plenty far.

3. During last week, or mebbe the
week before, thousands ' of bumble
bug- and tumble bee, were caught by
government employee*, dissected and
examined for the purpose cf ascer
taining if they were in any possible
way related to the "med” fly % one cf

the saving if he can hire enough men
to overtake that horrible 4-winged
marauder.

sent a college graduate (a good friend
of a good U. S. Senator) to one of our
possessions a year or so'ago to plant
some kind of U. S. seeds and find out
if ?uch crops as they produce here
will mature “over there.” He w*as

seed in question arrived. The seed
were sent to him as promptly (per

permit. (That’* some more our

News of Blackville
Blackville, May 14.—Mrs. T- L-
Wragg was hostess to the Regular
Announcing the Opening of
The Bank of Blackville
of Blackville, S. C.
Capital and Surplus $ 13.500
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT:
Having been encouraged by the
magnificent showing which the Bank
of Harnwell has made, managed cn a
stand, economical basW, and the splen
did ccoperation and appreciation
which hair been *hown by the people
of Barnwell on account of.my parti
cipation in the (rganization of The
Bank of Barnwell, and believing in
the future possibilities cf the county
a* a whole, I have consented to head
The Bank of Blackville, with full
faith a nd confidence in the future of
this section.
I desire to see sound banking facili-
tia* established throughout my adopt
ed county. We have proven that
sound hanking can be done, and this
is what the people want, even though
the bank profits are «maH, and even
though exchange and service charges
must be made. My experience is that
people want safety FIRST. Banking
cannot be done in these times on the.
?arne principles a* heretofore—con
ditions have changed. When people
deposit their money in a bank, they
want to know that it is either safe in
the vaults, or, if invested, that it is
in securities or leaps that are worth
one hundred cent? on the dollar at all/
times. Thi g is just exactly how I
propose to run The Bank of Blaek-
vijle. This is the way I run my own
business. ‘
If the peddle of Blackville will co
operate with me I will build you a
big ?trong, sound, local btrnk, for the
benefit of the c^mmimity, which I
hope and believe can be built into
cne of the leading centers of the l&fr
country. ^
C'. G. FULLER, President.
The Capital Stock of The Bank of
Blackville has been fully subscribed and paid
in and the doors of the bank were opened
for business in the ojd Bank of Western
Carolina building Monday morning, Ma^ 16.
The business men who have put their money
into this institution have done so
• wf
.First: Because they believe that no
community can prosper, or even continue to
do business, without adequate banking facili-
ties •„ >
Second: Because they believe that
^they can render a distinct service to the
Community at this time.. • • »
. ......... —» A -i. ...
Third: Because they and the general
public of this section desire a safe place in
which to keep their money.
SAFETY
Don’t deposit money in The Bank of
Blackville for sentimental reasons. If you
have money and want it kept safely—so that
you can get it when you warif it—we will
render you every safe banking accommoda
tion. We are putting our money in the
bank for. Blackville’s sake—to build the
community—and because we know it will
be safe...
