SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Strictly Cash In Advance One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months.50 More Federal Aid For Roads In S. C. If Bill Is Passed .. COLUMBIA, Jan. 24.—C. E. Jones, chairman of the state high way commission received, a tele gram from Senator Cole Blease today stating that the Dowell bill to increase from $75,000,000 to $125,000,000 the fund for federal aid for state highways had been given a unanimous favorable re- pdb^Jby the senate committe on postTroads. A telegram was also received from Senator Smith, saying that he would do all possible to exped ite passage of the bill in the sen ate. -The bill has already passed the . lower house of congress. The telegrams were in answer to one sent each of the senators by Chairman Jones, on January 22, urging them to aid in the passage of\ the bin. If the bin is passed, Mr. Jones said, it wUl increase the federal aid for highways allowed this state from a little more than one million, to $1,700,000. ’ Nearly Million Deficit Faced By Spartanburg County To June 30,31 SPARTANBURG, Jan. 25.—Spar tanburg county faces a deficit of $982,825.22, for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1931, accord ing to the annual report on coun ty business sent to the legislative delegation from the county board today. In order that the tax levy may be held to 26 mills, and all coun ty departments continue in opera tion, an ^ immediate bond issue is recommended. The report proposes a county supply bill of $1,479,660.07 to cover expenses from July 1, 1930, thru June 30, 1931. and budget and contingent com missions have no funds to turn in to the treasury. The total of ap propriations last year was $1,494,- 310 and the departments that col lect funds turned into the treasury a total of $1,695,989 a net income from department of $200,678. " The total expenditures last year was $9,784,245. The net returns from all the forms of taxation .in the state totaled $9,033,366 to which is added the $200,678, net in come of state departments. The excess of expenditures over receipts is $550,200 net. Adding , to this de ficit worthless suspense items, $76,238; and nulla bona taxes $74,- 375, makes the total deficit for the year $700,814. tXt Dane And Arthur Hit Crest Of Fun Wave That great comedy team, Karl Dane and George K. Arthur, are back again at the Dixie Theatre with a laugh producing vehicle that affords the widest range to their comic versatility. It is “China Bound,” a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature, directed by Charles F. (Chuck) Reisner, famous builder of laugh pictures. / The story takes Dane and *. Ar thur to China, one, Dane of course as a stoker, and his little play mate as a lovelorn stowaway whose swetheart is on the liner with her crabbed father and her maid. Josephine Dunn is the girl and Polly Moran, famous screen com edienne, is her maid. Polly is the long lost swdtheart of the stoker and through the stowaway they stage a reunion on the ship much to the disgust of Angus McAlister, the Scotch father, and the hard- boiled officer in charge of the “black gang” of the stoke-hold. Sharkey and Eustace, or Dane and Arthur, land in the ship’s brig and on arrival at a Chinese port make their escape as coolies. They join the girls, but a bandit army is approaching and war is in the air. They are mistaken by the bandits for members of the gang, but finally are discovered as for eigners. Meanwhile the girls have been thrown into jail, the bandits have rounded up all foreigners, and they, too, are herded into the jail, among them Angus. Reisner has made the most of a The Home Paper The merchant’s relations to his home town paper are supposed to be those of an advertiser. That is a narrow view. The home town paper is an institution. The mer chant can no more escape its in fluence than anybody else in the community, whether he advertises in it or not. Yet, as a consistent advertiser his relations with the local news paper become definitely construc- 'tive. He becomes a part of this in- i stitution without which no com munity can express itself. What ever its merit or demerits, the home town paper is an expression of the community. Literally, it is | the “Voice of the People” in a sense that cannot hold true ) for any other medium, j This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To the best of its ability it answers Who, What, When, Where, How and Why? It brings the individual out of him self. It speaks the local language. It interprets community life. Week by week, or day by day, it tells the story of the town and county. Most of us are so accustomed to the home town paper that we take it as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is run by fallible human beings. The wonder about the home town pa per is that it contains so few mis takes, not so many. To the merchant, especially the home town paper is an opportun ity. His business, too, is a local institution. Unless it finds some kind of expression in the home town paper, both the paper and the business have, to an important extent failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every suc cessive failure in this respect. It does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in the local paper. Most advertisers are over- judicious rather than extravagant. It is the continual message that counts most. Sporadic advertise ments now and then are of doubt ful value. Perhaps they are better than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placed by a busi ness house should blend into every other advertisement it place!. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. " Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Outstanding examples of it are to be found in the national field. Lo cally, however, advertising has much room for development. Aside from one or two of the big stores, the average merchant in the aver age small town gives too little study to the power of advertis ing. But conditions are changing. More and more merchants are coming to realize that they are losing money and prestige when they are not to be found in the advertising columns of the home town paper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the field of retail merchandising. — Clinton Chronicle. tX* Another Cancer Cure SUMMONS I SUMMONS A deficit in income for 1930— 31, is seen for the county supply splendid theme for his comedy bill enacted at the session of the ^ eam and keeps his audience in legislature last year, the report ( side-splitting or rollicking laught- stated, because incomes for the» er » ^ rom one well-timed moment to measure passed is inadequate.

SAN FRANCISCO.—Medical men here discussed with enthusiasm last week the announcement of the discovery of a so-called anti-can cer serum of two San Francisco physicians after experiments over a period of years. Doctors Walter B. Coffey and John B. Humber, working at the Southern Pacific general hospital, discovered the serum, which they obtained from the outer layer of the adrenal glands of sheep. In jection of the serum kills cancer ous tissues, it was claimed, and in one case, Dr. Coffey declared, pro duced “striking results.” Doctors Coffey and Humber yesterday demonstrated to path ologists the effect of the serum and results were described by those present as “startling.” Dr. John Gallwey, prominent San Francisco physician, and Dr. Kalr Meyer, ‘director of the Hooper foundation of the University of California, declared the discovery to be of the utmost importance to the medical world. “The medical profession regards the experiments of Dr. Coffey and Dr. Humber as the greatest ad vance yet made in the fight against cancer,” said Dr. Gallwey. “Necrosis, or death of the cancer cells, followed the injection of their serum.” X Parrot fever is the latest epi demic that threatens. It won’t be long until the little canary bird will not be safe either. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick, In the Court of Common Pleas.
