THE CITADEL Three Community Classes The Military College Of South Carolina Vacant Schol arships A vacant scholarship in McCormick County will be filled by competitive examination to be held at the coun ty seat ch Friday, July 13th. Appli cants must be at least sixteen and not more than twenty years of age, and must meet the educational re quirements for admission to the freshman class, which are a certif icate from an accredited four-year high school, covering fifteen units, or an equivalent examination. This scholarship covers tuition, board, hospital, laundry, room, and an allowance for uniforms. The Citadel is a liberal arts col lege, offering electives i n civil en ginering, science, language and lit erature, and business administration. It has an excellent military sys tem, having been rated by the War Department continuously for many years as “distinguished military col lege.” An inspector says of it: “It is so superior in all its meth ods, it must be classed alone.” It provides thorough physical traning of all students under com petent supervision, and encourages all athletic sports. For catalogue and blanks, write to, COL. O. J. BOND, President, The Citadel, Charleston, S. C. There are three classes of people in every commun’ty and everybody fits into one of them. There are those who go through life, with a smooth unconcern that is seldom, if ever, ruffled. They are serene on all occasions because they never take the trouble to bother themselves with anything that is go ing on around them. People of this class never do any real harm in the world and in rare cases exert themselves enough to do a little good. Everybody I kes them, tut they never command a lot of res pect and admiration. Then theie is a second class, which we hope are in the majority, who do not hesitate to say what they think—who lake a stand on ques tions of importance, after they get the facts and form an opinion. In other words, they have convic tions, and they do not hesitate to g've praise where it is due, ror heap on censure where it is deserved. They are the constructive citizens who, though they may sometimes make enemiejt, a/re responsible for whatever progress is made. And finally, we have the third class—the chronic ccmplainers and kickers, whose happiest moments are when they are complaining about somebody or something and whose life is destructive. But the fortunate thing about them is that they are more destruc tive to themselves than they are to society. They don’t get as large a hearing as they once did but they are annoying to say the least. IXI Law Cannot Inter fere With Sale Of Farm Land For Tax Appeal To Stop Sales Until Fall Made To Daniel; Of fice Has No Control the situation you have described to! me as to the sacrifices that you feel are now being made under the fore closure sales held during the sum- ( mer months. We all k.iow of how' very little the farmer has had to en-; courage him in the last few years and with the ext'a seasons and the boll weevil cOnd.tions he has had to face, its going to take more tha i mere kind references to keep his courage up. “While we are thinking so con stantly these days about r.ttL'acting the money powers to invest in our state and are allowing them to be free cf taxes for f ve years, we should not forget our own. people and their misfortunes and perplex - ities. Every worthy effort should be put forth to protect and help those who risk all td remain faithful in the cultivation of the farms. Of ail the occupations in life, the farmer is perhaps compelled to take the great est chances in his efforts to get any returns in his investments. He plants his crop and works it, and if tne seasons are right he receives com pensation, but if they are unfavc - able he receives little or no pay for his time and matchless efforts. If the worst comes, he is modest and quiet and seldom appears discour aged. He rates h‘s other blessings high and thanks God for them and this country, which he is helping to make better by his grit, character and loyalty. “The farmer looks anxiously at those selected by ballot to make the laws, and only asks that they be made wise and just. He confidently relies upon those who administer and enforce the laws to prdtect him from lawlessness and the criminal class so that he may then be permitted to raise his family in safety and amid the very best surroundings. It is ou: 1 duty to grant him all protection, to encourage him all possible, and see to it that his burdens are made lighter and that the possibility c'f his losing his farm during seasons of disaster and misfortunes are made well-nigh impossible. If this is done ,the far mers will not have to turn their at tention away from the farm and look to other occupations that are now re ceiving proper encouragement. “When the farmer wins, practical ly all business wins. He deserves to be told by law if necessary, that South Carolina is behind him and for him. “I am ready to help you in any way I can.” txi Unique Advertising Conference Series Dealers Have Voice In Nation al Advertising Program Of Chevrolet Company COLUMBIA, June 11—Informing a coirespondent that there is no law under wljich his office can “inter fere with the judgment of the courts and prevent the sale of real estate ordered to be sdld under foreclosure decrees” Attorney General John M. Daniel has expressed willingness to help in any way possible to remedy the situation, and suggests that this mattei 1 be brought to the attention of the general assembly. Mr. Daniel’s opinion is contained in a letter to J. J. Fretwell of Ander son, president of the Keowee cor poration, who asked if the attorney general’s office could prevent “any further lands from being sold until the f'rst of November.” Protesting against the sale of tax-foreclosed lands in summer months at low prices, Mr. Fretwell declared that un der forced sales “lands worth forty and fifty dollars an acre won’t bring ten dollars.” “I think it is an outrage and I feel that the state of South Carolina should protect its citizens,” he add- ed. Expressing his entire willingness to support any feasible plan to re move nardship from the farm own er, the attorney general answered as follows: t “I beg to advise that there is at this time no law under which this office cart interfere with the judg ment of the courts and prevent the sale of real estate ordered to be sold under foreclosure decrees. “The subject of whether or not real estate sales should be allowed to take place during the summer months when there is practically no market for real estate is a matter that might well be presented to the f eneral assembly for its very care- ul cctafeideration. In regard to sales under tax execution, a law is in force whereby the sheriff, after selling land, is required to refrain from making title to the purchaser for one year, during which time the owner may redeem his property. This law has, no doubt, enabled many to regain their homes. “I hope you will call to the atten tion of the next general assembly DETROIT, Mich., June 11.—Re newal of a unique series of advertis ing conferences, in which the auto- mob'le dealer is given a voice in the national advertising program of the factory, was announced heie today by John E. Grimm, Jr., advertising manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. * This company is new in the midst of the largest and most comprehen sive advertising campaign ever un dertaken in the history of the auto- mot've industry. The first of the new series of deal er conferences, held under the gen eral supervision of Mr. Grimm, took place here a week ago when dealers selected frem the domestic Chevro let organization met with factory of ficials to discuss the publicity plans of the company for the next few months. “The object of these advertising conferences,” Mr. Grimm explained, “is to keep the home office constant ly in touch with problems faced daily by the dealers so that Chevrolet ad vertising may be guided by actual field conditions and thus prove most effective. “The assistance given by dealers in these monthly conferences,” he continued, “is of invaluable benefit in adding to the efficiency of our advertising. This is particularly true of the newspaper advertising, which, of course, fc'rms the greatest retail advertising force for each individual dealer. “While every tpye of advertising, from newspaper, magazine, outdoor and electric spectacular signs to trade tpapers is discussed, major in terest attaches to the newspaper schedule because this makes up bv far the largest part of the year’s budget. There are now more than 5,500 leading newspapers carrying the Chevrolet message to practically every city, town and hamlet in the United States. “Particular care is taken in. select ing the dealers invited to attend these conferences. Some are chosen because they have very large car contracts. Others because their con tracts are very small. Every dealer also comes from a different section of the country. In this manner we get an ideal cross-section of f he ad vertising needs of all clc cos of dealers in all parts of the United States. “Dealer advertising c " erences will be held every month t iis sum mer, with a different grou of deal ers from different parts oi e coun try present each time. “Each conference is of two days’ duration. The first day is given over entirely to 1 the discussion of adver tising in all its phases. T..o second day the dealers are taken to the General Motors proving ground where they are shown the i igid test | Chevrolet cars undergo b'i'.re they, are put on the market.” An added feature of the t 3ent con ference was a radio party held for the dealers by W. S. Knudsen, pres ident and general manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. The oc casion was “Chevrolet Hour” on the General Motors Family Party pro- grvtn This was held in celebration of the fact that there have been plac ed on the road more than a half mil lion Bigger and Better Chevrolets since January 1, a feat never before duplicated by a new model in a sim ilarly short space of time. * # / i / # i-j. *’'• * v Half Million New Chevrolets on the road since Jan.lV U Better Ai The COACH $ 585 495 v 595 ^ 675 T7i« Touring $ or Roadster Coupe.. ..
