Thursday, January 16, 1930 Fame Of Sargon Now Spreads Over World McCORMICK MEiSiiEMGkR. McCORMICK, Soutn tjar'jiinm dumber Two People of This Country Sending Famous Medicine to Relatives and Friends in England, Scot land, Ireland, France, Canal Zone, Norway, Sweden, Cu ba and Many Other Dist ant Lands If you had found a medicine that was of such benefit to you that you would go to the trouble of sending it to relatives and friends in distant countries, you would have to be convinced in your own mind that it possessed real merit, wouldn’t you? That’s Just what thousands of people throughout the United States have been doing with Sar gon. From all v over America and wherever Sargon has been intro duced, thousands of letters have been received from grateful users telling of the gratifying results that have been accomplished by this celebrated medicine. THOUSANDS EXPRESS GRATITUDE On November 27th, a letter dat ed November 26rd, was received at the Sargon offices advising that in one week one drug firm alone had received orders for Sargon to be shipped to Cavite, Philippine Islands; Coca-Solo, Canal Zone; Belebrook, Ireland and Paris, France. Only recently a well-known res ident of Denver, Colorado, who had been restored to health by Sargon, sent a full treatment to London, England, to his sister, who is the wife of an executive of one of the greatest retail drug firms in the British Empire. During the past month there ap peared in the Toronto papers the statement of a well-known World War veteran whose health had been greatly impaired while in the service, who stated among other things, that he owed his restora tion to health to two bottles of Sargon sent him by a friend in Minneapolis. LETTERS RECEIVED FROM THE NORTHWEST From the Northwest, many let ters of this kind have been receiv ed advising that users of Sargon are sending it to relatives back in their old cmin tries of Norway and Sweden. Many such letters and endorse ments have been received from men of prominence, including for mer governors, business and pro fessional men, mayors, state and oognty officials, and even Minis ters of the Gospel have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell what Sargon has done for them. These are only a few of thous ands of such cases and not a day nor a week passes that does not bring hundreds of statements from . the people concerning the good this medicine is doing, and recit ing case after case that would con vince the most skeptical. Sargon’s fame is built on actual results—not empty promises, and only those who have put it to the test know Ks real powers. Sargon’s aim is not mere tem porary relief, but new and abund ant health No wonder it is now called the medicine with million friends. Stroms' Drug Store, Agents.

Robinson has been requested by Governor John G. Richar.ds to solicit contributions in McCormick County to the Tillman Memorial and is ready to accept donations from anyone desiring to help this movement. The following from a recent issue of the Abbeville Press & Ban ner, we feel sure, will be of inter est to our readers for it sets forth certain facts concerning the grea work of a great South Carolina statesman, some of which may not be known to many: Some months ago Governor Richards announced that he would like to see a monument erected to Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman A few weeks ago the Tillman Mem orial Association was organized and some money has been accept ed to apply on a memorial to the late senator. The proposed monu ment would cost in the neighbor hood of $25,000. While no definite goal has been set it is the hope of the association that at least $10,- 000 will be forwarded by public subscription. The remainder would be authorized by the General As sembly. Many have advocated the erec tion of a building at Clemson or Winthrop in honor to the memory of Senator Tillman. Senator P. H. Arrowsmith of Florence, suggests that the memorial should take the form of a Junior College and should be located at Florence. The Index-Journal tells Mr. Arrow- smith that there is no need to make a start from the beginning down in Florence; “Greenwood can supply that requisite at present. If a memorial is to be erected to Senator Tillman it should be by public subscription and should be in the form of a monument to adorn the grounds of the State House. If State colleges need ad ditional facilities let them be brought before the General As sembly on their merit and allowed or refused according to the eco nomic well being of the state as re fleeted by the General Assembly. It was as Governor of South Car olina that Tillman instituted many reforms. His administration was notable, to quote from his last messages to the legislature, for: The erection and endowment of Clemsom College. The just and equitable assess ment of taxes on railroads and other corporations and the victory in the courts compelling them to pay. The passage of the dispensary law and the destruction of the bar rooms. The establishment of Winthrop Normal and Industrial School for women. The election of the railroad com mission by the people and allow ing them to fix passenger and freight rates. The inauguration of the primary system of party nominations for all offices in the gift of the peo ple. It is impossible to refer to his many achievements while a mem ber of the United States Senate. His record is known to the people of South Carolina. His name has been mentioned lately in connec tion with the famous “Black Re port.” This refers to his fight in the Fifty Seventh Congress to com pel recognition of South Carolina’s claim against the Federal Govern ment for money loaned the State in the War of 1812. By this, $386,- 000 of the State’s bonds held by the Federal Government as a debt against the State were cancelled,, and $89,137.36 was returned to the state treasury in cash. That was a memorable fight because it in volved the two most picturesque figures in Congressional life, “Pitchfork’ Ben Tillman and Un cle Joe Cannon. Mr. Cannon re fused to agree to an appropriation bill providing for the payment of the South Carolina claim. Mr. Till man declared that no appropria tion bill would pass, because he in tended to talk until 12 o’clock the next day, March 4, when Congress must adjourn. At 3 o’clock in the morning Mr. Cannon yielded rath er than call an extra session. His life of service should not be forgotten. A memorial should be erected. It should be a monument on the State House grounds. NOTICE American Legion Begins New Year With Fine Meeting Thomas Jefferson Lyon, Jr., Post No. 19 of the American Legion held its monthly meeting Tuesday night in the legion hall. About forty-five members were present and a splendid smoker and program had been arranged. The principal feature of the meeting was an address by Hon. J. O. Sheppard of Edgefield, who stressed more thorough co-opera tion on the part of all ex-service men that the legion might be a power in aiding congress to pass the universal draft act, which would draft finance and industries along with men thereby making wars unpopular. Others who spoke on legion is sues were Sen. Ben Greneker and Commander W. D. Allen of the Edgefield post and Rev. W. H. Buz- hardt and F. A. Wise of the local post. Another feature of the meeting was the installation in a very fitting manner by Department Chaplain Rev. W. H. Barfield of all the officers elected at the No vember meeting to serve the en suing term. Those installed were Dr. C. K. Epting, Commander; J. B .Harmon, Jr., Adjutant; Y. E.

Please do not ask for credit. Yours very truly, QUARLES & FULLER. COLUMBIA, Jan. 9.—Inspectors from the State Highway Depart ment and local police officers in the various counties of the State are planning to spread a drag-net for approximately 60,000 motor ve hicles which are yet without 1930 license plates, according to a state ment issued by Ben M. Sawyer, Chief Highway Commissioner. Already a penalty of 30 cents has been added to the cost of each set of license plates, but after the 5th of January violators of license aws will be hailed before Magis trates and charges brought against them. Mr. Sawyer’s statement fol- ows: — “Our records show that on Jan uary 4, 1930 approximately 121,000 motor vehicle licenses have been issued for the year 1930. Making due allowances for all causes what soever it is conservatively estimat ed that approximately 60,000 mo tor heclles are now being. operated in the State, without licenses. “The law allows the Motor Ve hicle Division the period from Jan uary 1 to January 15 to deliver li censes applied for prior to the 31st day of December and these have not only been issued but applica tions now received daily are given prompt attention. The duty of the Motor Vehicle Division is to issue licenses as applied for to January 15th but the responsibility for se curing licenses on or before this date is the obligation of the indi vidual motor vehicle operator or owner. On and after January 16th it becomes the lawful duty of our organization to see and require that no motor vehicles are operat ed upon the public highways of the State without proper licenses for the year 1930. “Accordingly on the morning of January 16, 1930 I have authoriz ed and instructed Mr. W. V. Suth erland, Director of the Motor Ve hicle Division to begin a rigid campaign of law enforcement against all persons and firms who are found to be operating motor vehicles without 1930 licenses. Twenty license Inspectors will b' distributed and stationed so that with the assured assistance am' co-operation of certain city an ', county police officers, the Steal will be. covered with a dragnet. Our inspectors will handle all appre hensions with courtesy, fairness promptness but all apprehensions will be prosecuted and thereby all of the facts, stories, extenuating circumstances, alibis and what-not will have to be teold directly to the Courts. “The law requires now that each applicant for motor vehicle license pay a penalty of fifty (50) cents and this amount should be in cluded in each remittance. The motor vehicle owners of the State are urgently requested to take no tice of this final warning and se cure their 1930 licenses on or be fore January 15th.’ X Selective Immi gration Urged By Commissioner WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.— A system of selective immigration as a panacea for two of the Na tion’s problems—racketeering and unemployment- r ftnd to improve economic conditions is urged by Harry E. Hull, recently reappoint ed by President Hoover as Com missioner-General of Immigration. The Commissioner advocates the passage by Congress of legislation which will make this system the foundation of the country’s immi gration policy. In contrast to the present system, under which thou sands of alien laborers are admitt ed annually, selective immigration would permit accepting only those needed by industry, Mr. Hull said. “We would find out where a man is going,” he said, “what he is go ing to do there and whether there is room for him under economic needs before admitting him. If he intended engaging in some oc cupation in which there is already a surplus, he would not be permit ted to come.” Several bills already are pending in Congress to allow selective im migration to a limited extent, but none goes as far as the Commis sioner desires. Under his plan certain standards based upon the actual economic needs of the coun try as determined by the Secre taries of State, Commerce, Agri culture and Labor, would be set up, and aliens who failed to meat those qualifications would be bar red. Mr. Hull believes many coun tries would be unable to fill their present quotas under that system and that immigration probaJ)l£ would be reduced by 5,000 to 100,- 000 annually as a result. In support of his demand for preferential immigration, Mr. Hull cited that in Europe there are up ward of 2,000,000 persons seeking admittance to this country while the annual quotas of the countries concerned are only about 150,000. Under the present law. those who have filed applications first would be admitted first, although they might be coal miners, with experts much needed here in some partic ular field below them on the list. ———txx The old fashioned woman who used to take her beauty naps, has a daughter today who buys her beauty at the comer drug store. The recent holiday fruit-cake poison case, in which quick action by the Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture saved from illness and perhaps death people who had bought the cakes, leads the administration to issue a warning to housewives regard ing poisons in the household. “Poisons such as garden and do mestic insecticides are today al most a household necessity,” says Dr. P. B. Dunbar, assistant chief of the administration. “They should, however, be securely locked up or be carefully stored beyond the reach of children, and they should always be kept away from food. “A package of poison on the pantry shelf is as dangerous as a loaded gun,” says Dr. Dunbar. “Someone comes along who doesn’t know the package contains poison —that the gun is loaded, and the result is injury or even death. Like precautions are essential in food stores, restaurants, and food fac tories.” The arsenic which came so near taking a toll of human lives dur ing the Christmas holidays had been bought as an insecticide sev eral years ago and had not been safely put away after use. It is supposed that one of the children finding the package of arsenic mistook it for flour and emptied it in the flour sack in the pantry. A somewhat similar case occur red in an Indiana store some years ago. Contaminated sugar sold by the store made a number of people ill, killing two of them. The ad ministration found that rat poison had accidentally been thrown into an open sack of sugar. In Los Angeles, in 1926, nineteen persons became ill from eating pies edntaining arsenic. The baker who made the pies did not know how the arsenic got into the food. It was declared to be accidental. Probably none of these cases would have occurred if poison*! had been kept away from the food and out of the kitchen. The Federal Caustic Poison Act requires that certain alkali and acid poisons be labelled plainly in large type to lessen the danger of accidental poisoning. However, there are many other poisons, such as those found in insecticides and some silver polishes, which are deadly if taken in sufficient quan tities, and the Federal I&w does not require that these articles be conspicuously labelled as poison ous. Although many manufactur ers have voluntarily used warning labels, or have put their poisonous preparations in containers of dis- tictive shape or in bottles with rough exteriors studded with knobs or points to warn the user even in the dark, poisons of the insecti cide type are frequently bought in bulk form im bags that are not labelled. Arsenical insecticides may easily be mistaken for flour. Unless packages containing such poison are locked up or at least carefully segregated after use. there is danger of the poison get ting into food. The cautious house wife should have a safe place in which she can store all poisons to prevent accidents, says the De partment of Agriculture.

Jan. 14 - Gifts for philanthropic purpose' in the United States during 1929 totaled $2,450,720,000, an increase of $120,120,000 over the estimates for 1928, according to a study and analysis made by the John Price Jones Corporation, fund-raising consultants here. The largest proportion of the to tal given away in the United States during the past year went to re ligious purposes, the survey indi cates, with the second largest sum going to education. The estimated total of $2,450,- 720,000 was gdvea for the following: religious purposes, $996,300,000; ed ucation, $467,500,000; gifts for per sonal charity, $270,760,000; organ ized charitable relief, $278,710,000- health, $221,510,000; foreign relic"' $132,000,000; the fine arts, $40,000 000; play and recreation, $29,980 000; miscellaneous reform organ zations, $14,040,000. Of the large gifts 70 p?r cer came from those who had passe- the age of fifty. Only 12 per cent NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick. Notice is hereby given that all persons indebted to the estate of Mrs. Mattie L. Carroll, late of Mc Cormick, S. C., should make set tlement with the undersigned. All persons holding claims against said estate should file same, duly verified, with the undersigned. C. M. CARROLL. Administrator. Martinez, Ga., December 10, 1929.-4t. were given by persons past seven ty, and 18 per cent by persons be tween the ages of thirty and fifty. The curve for large gifts seems to follow the curve of earning capa city. The modern tendency also seems to be to give ted philan- throphy during the lifetime rather than leaving bequests. Examination of the size of the gifts indicates that the largest gifts during the last year have gone to educational purposes, and, while the total for religious pur poses is the highest, the number of large gifts given for this purpose is not as great as those given for educational, charitable or health purposes.
