Collections have picked up some in the past ten days after a rather slow opening and should continue to do so, acording to Mr. Bryd, who predicts that he will collect as much or more than he did in 1936, when 97 per cent, of the total loaned was repaid. > 4MM$ g AS 4 * %4m 9%6&b 4 M VWI I IBM fifeA < fcbff*# stAtad fihst iWf fcvdv* f v m I W p Ih# rAtlwA gw* I kM Mitts it rpsttf vwtfe 1 way af grads* Afba BkA* to—4 - Aah Aa* Wa* f Maa4 |i AAb# 9* Ba 1 « *+++0*0 1 A Ml B rtpAae A» W4 W A Am* A fa AAA ’togaeKi b ■••*** I Mm ** ' *A*A» | 1A WWi A 4a 1 A kiA* *++ y A A'AA -I I $aA M * «%*r*; 9'tm Am AiW f <+ * \**4 mt Mai 4»W pa* 4PMl4 toimgk 1 Apae* j r • ta*** ash to Abr 1 wtel tivH k la (he Ac Achkn • w Da •* Jtlh. with Judge A L. war* drawn MawAy. aa Mb A II WaA Msyar** Mali V.

W J I —a, The continued silence of Senator Sdgsr A. Brown of .Barnwell, as to his future political plans—especial* y the pcssibility of his being a caa*' didate for the United States sem* ate next summer—has kept the politically wise prognosticator* guessing for the past several months. The Senator has beam mentioned as a possible guberna torial candidate as well as an a*- pirant for Senator E. D. Smith's toga, but up to th* present wr+tiag he has been “sawing wood and say ing nothing.” However, th* Barnwell salon was in Columbia on Wednesday of last and while ha had vary little ta say shoot tha ‘ variom ha did premia* that h* weald h r” te say Saturday at Farts Mountain Stale Park w hart he b ■ chadded te _ b""f^m TW Rta Around the State Haaaa* va far BeanieT • l . rtl A aad ./ m rw% A A .‘■C, Tb i eamkue t - id •* *• t» A A *« •«• i m m a * • -r • v ml <4 V A Mm ads » l Aasaadaa Meame Aaadhmg AAMA A t»nu imt I 4. wA m 4 • 4 .*• * 4 HA Bapt |L—Cemch J. m the AmbaAb ICAR BKIDB INTO IHT1H— IMUt KM HTAFQI INJURY Breaks Arm in Fall.
