Quite a number of bur farmer friends are turning over the new leaf without waiting for the beginning of j a new year. They are going in fori more small grain and Atock, more' ease and comfort and home improve- : ent than ever befoi^e and cotton will not rule them so cruelly \in the future years.

The Fort Mill Times says: .V Congressman Ramp Fulmer of the Cclumbia district is not “from Missouri,” but he wants' to be shown. Mr. Fulmer is a loyal Democrat. He is an important man. Fcr ope thing, he is second in command of the great'* agricultural committee of the heuse. He ha s represented his district long and faithfully. And now with the Democrats in power, Mr. Fulmer can not understand why Republican office- hclders should not give way to Demo crats. He is in none too ggod humoi^ with Secretary Farley, boss patronage dispenser, for refusing to recognize his recommendations. Scores of other loyal Democrats share Mr. Ful mer’s dissatisfaction. Sooner or later Farley’s attitude toward patron age will bring on a big rew in both house and senate if it continues / which will do the administration no good. There is nation-wide disap- pointmept over President Roosevelt’s failure to order Farley to take ja practical view cf the matter. If the Democrats are net to be rewarded with the office^, one important incen tive for winning future elections will be gone. What’$ wrong, anyway? Who ever before heard of a Demo cratic administiation refusing to fill vacancies by appointing Democrats? No exp'anation Farley or anyone else might (ffer would be satisfactory.” MMXKN MAYOR <*FKR> APOLOGIRH TO BARNWELL ^CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ) Har When Maude Gets Left.—“Doesn’t that mule ever kick yCu?" \ “No. sah, he ain’t yet, but he fre quently kicks de place where ah re cently was.”—Associated Magazine.

But we did choose bodies rigid enough, and strong enough, to support six tons of elephant or anything else you can name. Fisher bodies . . . steel bodies plus a hardwood frame . . . exactly the same type of bodies used on all 12 and 16-cylinder cars. Steel alone is not enough to make you as safe and secure as we want you to be in a Chevrolet. A steel body, welded into a solid wall of protection plus resilient hardwood rein forcing to take up stress, absorb shocks and prevent the steel from following its natural tend ency to buckle under pressure makes the sturdiest body of all—the kind used on the Chevrolet, and on no other low-priced car. Remember that when you buy a car. Be sure to get all you pay for ... the super-safety of a steel-plus-wood Fisher body. CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY, DETROIT, MICH. *445 to *565 Allpric—t. o. b.
