Watermelon futures are booming

The latest raj I road rumor i a that

Sale day was dull as a Quaker

from the country to attend it. Among
the number were three horse swappers

the mountains to the sea.
Monday’s County Conventions as
sured the sending of a Bryan delega

April went out like„a lion. The

to cantaloupe and watei melon vines
in particular.

Last week’s cold winds killed much
cotton, especially that which had
been hoed to a stand. Some fields
were so injured that planting over
was necessary. And many needed
baundant replanting.
“The noblest Romans of them all,”
Chief Justice T. S. Dunbar and Capt.
J. Wyman Jenny have been delegates
to the Democratic County Convention
since 1876. And their interest in the
public weal is a g true hearted and

Such men are exemplars of the high
est civic virtues.
We learn from Aiken, via. Edge-
field, that our young brother Byrnes
has escape^ from the press gang and
will no longer do time editorially on
the Journal and Review. It is in no
sense a falling from grace, but rather
a foreseeing of the futute that has
warned him to get out of the brick
yar ( i before his youth is tired and the
flowers and fruits of life are gather
ed by others and gone beyond his
grasp. Congratulations to him.

over 50 square miles have been
either destioyed or vey badly dam

were practically ruined, the estimate
being 75 per cent. loss. Corn if beat

Howell Is Heard at
Memorial Exercises
Walterboro Lawyer Praiseg Demo-
cratic Leadership in Speech at
River's Bridge.
Bamberg, May 5.—Madison H.
Howell, of Walterboro, told the
River’s Bridge Monumental and Mem
orial ass ciation today that the Demo-
cr'atic party has always saved Ameri-
ea in crises and that it now will do
so again under guidance of President
Roosevelt.
Howell’s /address was a feature of
the fifty-seventh annual memorial ex
ercises at River’s bridge, where a
small Confederate force checked the
advance of a vastly superior Union
army during the War Between the
States.
The speaker declared that “Amer
ica cannot return to normal condi
tions until the people are imbued wdth
the principles impelling Confederate
soldier s to fight to the last ditch in
the face of overwhelming odds. He
contrasted the moral characteristics
of the Confederate soldier with the
character istics general today, declar
ing that greed, avarice, political de
gradation and materialisltic inclina
tions were foreign to the Old Soutli.
The audience at today’s exercises
included people from many counties
and several states. DuriAg the after
noon, Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, under
whose! supervision the memorial
grounds have been created a com
munity center, addressed the woman’s
auxiliary to the memorial association.
The marine band from Parris Island
furnished musk both at the exercises
and at the auxiliary meeting.
’There’s more room, *dl right—and
the upholstery is certainly better."
"Yes—end no other low-priced car
has Fisher No Draft Ventilation,
and I wouldn't do without that."
"Fm thinking of buying a new
car. What’s your advice?"
"A six-cylinder Chevrolet.
There’s one engine you
know is right—a good
many millions of owners
have proved it for you."
■ i yl . Watch the new Chevrolets that pass
y OU by. Look at the pleased expres
sions of the drivers. These people are enjoying
life—going places in style more contentedly than
most people have ever traveled. They are driving
the one low-priced car that combines all the best
things motoring can offer.
It has beauty of a new and striking land. It is
comfortable, roomy, safe, and healthful. It’s
nothing short of a marvel for pick-up, speed and
handling ease. And when it comes to motoring
expense—well, you have the word of thousands
upon thousands of owners that gas, oil and upkeep
costs never were so low before!
How about it—wouldn’t you like to get more fun
from motoring—and be money ahead? Then
drop in on your Chevrolet dealer. He’ll quickly
fix it up so you can save with a new Chevrolet.
