It comes from the Latin word, "sal” meaning salt. Back In the days of ancient Rome, Emperor Augustas gave his soldiers a cer tain amount of money with which to buy salt. After a time, probably through long usage, the term became “salary" In English. The northern peak of the citadel of ancient Rome was occupied by the Temple of June Moneta—which means “the warner.” It was here In 209 B. C. that the sen ate set up a mint, and by association with the temple the word Moneta has survived In such words as “money,” “monetary,” etc.—Washington Star. MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES’ CARDS.

FOR APPOINTMENTS PHONE NO, 43. ' The Barnwell Beauty Shop Dr. L. B. Owens Presents Facts \ and Issues in the Governor’s Race I want toim’porethe pecple of South Carolina to visualize the great im portance of further development of the electrical power in South Carolina, and a sharp reduction in electric rates. If a power company candidate is elected Governor of South Carolina all hope of rural electrification in South Carolina Will be blasted, ajid you people in the rural districts will “sing the Swan Sonft” as far as rural electrification is concerned. You can’t pay the price. A few years ago the International Power a-nd Paper Company bought several newspapers in this part of the country and paid a fabulous price for them. It was not th^ir intention to go into the newspaper business to make money, but knew ^hat they would lose big money on these papers. The object was to spread propaganda and mould sentiment, and bamboozle the people and hold up the present high rate of electrical power,\ and prevent further development of pWer, thereby making their losses back many fold. The Power Companies have a candidate in the field for Gov ernor, and if he is elected cheap elec tricity and rural electrification wi be doomed, and hopes for new indus tries will be blasted. The peope of Columbia elected me Mayor of your Capital City, and I have made you a great City, and if you elect me Governor of your State, I will make you a great State. The State Highway, Corporations, and Tammany Hall of South Carolina (Gervais Street Ring) have a candi date in the field. They want to con trol the police powers of the Cities and State. I have always been more than fair to capital, but they have not been fair to me and the people. The wholesale produce merchants on Gervais Street want to regulate our Curb Market in Columbia out cf busi ness. This Curb ; Market is South CaroDna’s greatest institution. I have had t continual fight with thia -Urn selfish group since I have been Mayor of Columbia to keep them from de stroying it. They want to monopolize and control the produce business of South Carolina and’ charge three or four prices for cold storage produce They want three prices for all of the juice the babies of South Caro- liha drink. have an Ordinance in my posses sion that was presented to City Coun cil by a candidate for Governor which would have built a wall around South Carolina and would have been disas- trous\to the fanner and the people of this State, but would have made the wholesale produce merchants on Ger vais Street rich. I want you to vote with your eyes open. Curtailing the consumption of fresh fruits and vege tables wifi cause a return of Pallagra and other diseases. The teachers of South Carolina have been f©gotten and forsaken. I am in favor of free 'school books up to the seventh grade. It can be done without raising taxes; A little hand full qf sharpers and slickers with master minds and super brains rule the masses. They are too smart for you. They outwit you. They are creeping on you. “For just ex perience tills in every soil, that those who think must govern those who toil.” If you don’t organize ycu are out of luck. THE REAL ISSUE IN THIS CAM PAIGN IS WHETHER OR NOT THE PEOPLE WILL RULE OR WHETH ER THOSE REPRESENTING SPECIAL INTERESTS WILL RULE. Beware of Big Busi- nes* Men” who represent special interests. You can’t beat the political lawyer. He fixes it right for himself and gets it all eventually. I want to see cheap electricity in South Carolina. It i s the hope of the dwellers on the farm, it will increase the wealth of our State by inducing new industries. South Carolina is rich in natural resources. I want to see them developed. I advocate plant- inf of trees, and conservation of for ests, fisheries, game, rivers, harbors, electrical energy, reclaiming of lands, conservation and preservation of health. , It is up to the mother, teacher and preacher to mould and shape the destiny of the youth of this country. The politicians will never do it. You, can’t legislate character into people. I endorse the salient principles of the Farmers’ and Taxpayers’ League. If I am elected Governor I will re organize the E. R. A. in this State. The issue is the State Highway, Corporations and Tammany Hall of South Carolina (Gervais Street Ring) against the people. When you vote for Governor vote for yourselves, your wives, your children and your pos terity. IF YOU ELECT ME GOVERNOR I WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLES. DR. L B.
