Hom* Print and Local Adrertiainff. One of our newspaper exchanges, whose publisher prides himself on the fact that hig is an M all home print” weekly, last week carried about 15 columns of advertising and some 33 columns of news and other articles. Hie publisher in question has a right to be proud of his paper, because it ig unquestioanbly one of the better weeklies in the State. The thing, however, that impressed os was the small amount of local ad vertising in his columns. Counting legal notices there were, all told, about six columns of strictly local advertisements and about nine col umns from out-of-county advertisers. There we have a publisher who thinks go well of his home town and county that he exerts every effort to give his subscribers a readable, well-print ed newspaper—yet his efforts are ap preciated so little by his local busi ness people that he would find the geiag very hard indeed but for the patronage of advertisers in adjoining fad, it By Spectator. HOT WEATHER and the FARMER. TAXES AND WAGES. MAYBANK AND ADAMS. PHEW1 As I mop the manly brow to stem the out-popping of something said to be unknown to the WPA. Perspiration? Nay, Nay—sweat! Nature rejoice* in many contradic tions. The cotton farmer revels when the sun comes down with blistering force and when the night seems to cover you like a woolen blanket. When it is too hot to sleep, the cot ton is singing a song in the fields. So, now, which is better—to be a farmer enjoying invigorating, COOL NIGHTS, with fertiliser bills and taxes looking down on you; or be a farmer DRENCHED WITH SWEAT, even in m the night-time, with pros pects for a good yield? So you see how wonderful nature is: You can have cool weather with an empty barn and meat house or sultry weather and plenty of rations. How about it? Nature intended to keep the farmer busy.

The many friends of Miss Mamie Cohen, 62, of Barnwell, will learn with regret of her death, which oc curred Sunday morning at the Co lumbia hospital. She was born in New York City February 12, 1875, the daughter of Jacob and Rosa Haynes Cohen, and made her home in this city for many years. Miss Cohen is survived by two sisters, Mr*. Isadore Brown and Miss Carrie Cohen, of Blarkvilk; three Louis Cohen, of Barnwell; cross these figure* last week of the power com pen lee, C wealth and Southern, paid last year in Uses $15,973,521. Quite • sum of money, but not big enough to causa concern in this day of big figures. But see how it works out. That company not only paid 14 cents in taxes for each dollar taken in, but it paid in taxes 43 per cent, of the whole amount paid in wages. Now, that looks big doesn’t it? Now, where does a stockholder come in? We hear so much about taxes and wages, what does the real owner, the stock holder get out of all this? So far as I can see, he must get a lot of rich experience, though at last accounts none of the grocery stores seemed willing to accept that in payment of the weekly bill for food. But cheer up, stockholders; the worst is yet to come. Although the revenues of the company increased 11 per cent, over the year 1935, the taxes in creased 13 per cent My advice to all stockholder* is to art up a tent oa*M •at shark orris Island and mm mm Ot Chartartaa More a great body of Chari**toa ritlseas Insisted that ha become candkbt* fer Mayor.

Aa an executive and leader his record in Charleston aa mayor is worth studying, for it 1* a record of useful achievement While building, improving, getting new busi ness—and all that—Maybank reduced the mlHage, paid off the floating debt and reduced the bonded Indebtedness. Aa a speaker Mr. Maybank has tre mendous appeal because he believes what he says and says what he be lieves. Adams has twice swept Richland County. He is bold in attacking what he thinks is wrong or unfair or inad visable and he makes a tremendous appeal for what he thinks is right In the House Mr. Adams is respected as a debater of unusual preparedness and power. Mr. Adams is not a narrow man in his sympathies. He has spoken for the working man and has worked con stantly for him, but he is not a dema gogue; he does not try to destroy something for the sake of making a show. He has courage and brains and a serious purpose to serve the State with fairness to all. Neither Maybank nor Adams is the common type of politician; both are forthright to the point of bluntness although both are cultured and cour teous gentlemen. laaiaasii* SPECTATOR Ui> l boot two new men.

Foliar Park and Barnwell County are being adver tised through .these dances probably more than any other activity ever given here. These dances were originated through the recreational division of the WPA. The first dance was given in February, and every two weeks since then Fuller Park has been thrown open to the public Tor a night of wholsesome fun. Up to date, nine dances have been given, with an at tendance of 2,916 actually known to be present At the first dance 150 people were registered as compared to 438 at the last dance. As for order, it is almost perfect. Charlie Brown, Sr., floor manager, and “Chief” Ross have ushered out of the hall anyone who seemed to be out of place. It is now understood that no disorderliness will be put up with. The music has been one of the drawing cards all the while. Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Willis, two noted fiddlers, along with Mr. Willis’ sister at the piano, furnished music for several of the dances. On two occas ions negroes played. For the last several dances, however, a group of three or four men from Aiken have supplied exceptionally good msic. Mr. Peacock manages the string band. The corps of recreational workers in the county include Thos. D. Creigh ton, Sr., who is manager of these dances; Mrs. Mabel Gantt, Mrs. Thel ma Keel, Mias Vera Givens, Mrs. Edna Hall, Mrs. Elian Odom, Mias Kate Hartsog.
