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.

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.”

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.
