NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN That a Special Meeting of the stockholders of McCORMICK TELEPHONE COMPANY will be held in Abbeville, South Carolina, on the 15th day of May, 1930, at the hour of 1:15 o’clock p. m., to consider and vote upon the prop osition of dissolving the corpora tion, and for the transaction of such ot{ier business as may prop erly come before the meeting.

In addition, the' move was made to thoroughly modernize the plant and bring it up to the high stand ard of equipment and efficiency that characterizes Chevrolet plants in other sections of the country. The new plant ’ is. a one story, brick and steel structure, 1,200 by 400 feet, with monitor type roof, providing for the maximum light and ventilation. Adjoining it is a new two story office building, 200 by 60 feet, of concrete and brick construction. The plant has two domestic as- j sembly lines and an export boxing line. The export division of the Tarrytown plant serves many countries at present inaccessible to overseas Chevrolet plants. In sev eral instances, Chevrolet finds it more expedient to ship direct from Tarrytown to a foreign country than from a Chevrolet plant over seas. In the case of the Tarry town plant this applies only to countries that receive cars fully assembled. The other Chevrolet export plant a,t Bloomfield, N. J., ships only knocked down parts for assembly at General Motors plants overseas. The finished Chevrolet cars, as sembled Vand boxed at Tarrytown are put on barges and floated down to New York city, where they are put aboard ships for various parts of the world. An instance of the precision manufacturing methods employed by the Chevrolet Motor Company is seen in.a statement'today that 5,- 162 separate inspections enter into the building of every motor for a Chevrolet car. So insistent is the company on accuracy in both ma terials and workmanship that one man* in six at the giant Chevrolet Motor plant at Flint, Michigan, is an inspector. —tXI Little Talk On Thrift STRONG CHARACTERS AND STURDY WILLS REWARDS THAT COME FROM THRIFT (By S. W. STRAUS, President American Society For Thrift.) “The first and best victory is to conquer self,” said Plato. “To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile.” The first step in thrift is “to con quer self.” Until this self-conquest has been made we will never change our habits for the better. We may realize the folly of wastefulness and extravagance. We may wish that we might get out of the way of always being behind financially. We may realize in the honesty of our own hearts that we %re doing ourselves a grave injus tice by th eneglect of our physical well being. We may know that we art allowing golden opportunities for self-improvement and ad vancement to be neglected. We may have a clear viewpoint of all of these attitudes. But until we apply the Plutonian test to our rules on conduct, we are “conquer ed by self” which is “of all things, the most shameful and vile.” Perhaps we have not thought all the way through these personal problems. In neglecting to save money or practice other phases of thrift, we have not realized, pos sibly, the great harm being done to ourselves mentally and spiritually. We have thought only of the ma terial phases. It is well for us in this fast and fascinating era to listen across the ages to the voice of Plato, remind ing us of the glory of victory over self and the shame of a conquest won by our own follies. Those who practice thrift may rest assured that not all the values accruing to them can be measured in terms of dollars. They may find inspiration in the concept that Heavy breeds Reds, Barred Rocks, | they ai^ gaining what is more Buff Orphingtons at $12.50 per priceless than gold—a strong char- hundred.

COLBY S *•* X"XKKK~X~X~X~X~X"X«X~X~X~:« Pelathe, the Eagle DELATHE. tile Eagle, rides. Pity I the chestnut mare. Pelathe rides to warn a city of impending disaster. He rides to warn sleeping Lawrence. Kansas, of massacre at dawn. For Quantrill, bushwhacker, wholesale murder in his heart, is riding west in a rage to burn and destroy. All night Quantrill has been riding at the head of his 450 men. He has routed farmers out of bed to act as bis guide. When be is done with a guide lie shoots him. Dead men are safe—and silent. History says be mur dered ten guides that night. Quindaro is an outpost of Kansas City. Theodore Parties, scout, holds the head of his chestnut mare. She is fleet, stout of heart, deep chested, a thoroughbred. Scout Parties loves that mare but he is about to sacrifice her. Pelathe, the Eagle, tosses a light blanket across her back. He needs no saddle. Every ounce of extra weight will count on this ride. The chestnut mare breaks into a full run. Pelathe. the Eagle, is riding. And Quantrill has a long head start. Ten miles out of Quindaro and the little mare’s breath is coming in sobs. Pelathe, the Eagle, talks soothingly. He caresses her; urges her on. An other mile or two and she begins to falter. Ah, a stream! Pelathe, the Eagle, slips to the ground. He wets the end of his blanket and wipes her foaming mouth. He runs the damp cloth into her nos trils; over her hea<L Then he takes the dry end of the blanket and wipes her dripping legs and heaving flanks. He gives her a drink of water, just a drink—the last drink she shall ever have! Pelathd takes her by the bridle, leads her to the top of the rise— gently. Pelathe, slender, bold, brave Shawnee Indian, knows horses; he knows how to g£t the last ounce of strength out of them. And this ride is to warn a city of impending doom. Lightly the Eagle vaults to the back of the chestnut mare. She breaks into a run for the second time. Stronger now. She has gained her second wind. On, on, on to Lawrence, Kan., the doomed city. Can he make it ahead of Quantrill? Mile after mile. Brave little mare. Only a few more miles now. She is faltering. Her sides tremble. Her legs weaken. She is going down. But Pelathe, the Eagle t knows a trick! Cruel, inhuman! Yes, but a sleep ing city must be warned of its doom. Pelathe, the Eagle, draws his knife. He rips the shoulders of Scout Par ties 1 beloved chestnut mare. Blood gushes and spatters on the ground. Pelathe rubs raw gunpowder into the flowing wounds. Pain more intense than the pain from her bursting lungs flashes through the body of the gasping ani mal. Perhaps some chemical action on her blood gives strength. With a groan the chestnut mare springs for ward. There is new power in her faltering legs. And a mile or so furth er Is the village of the Delawares. Will she make it? Bravely she runs. No, she falters again and with a moan drops dead! Pelathe, the Eagle, lands on his feet—running. He dashes like a sprinter to the Delaware village. With a war-whoop to arouse the camp, he rushes to the corral. He cannot af ford to 4>e -shot - as a horsethief. A word and he is on a fresh steed, a sturdy Indian pony. The quarter- moon is growing dinyner. Soon the sun will rise. Quantiflll will strike at dawn. Now the dawn begins to come. God in Heaven! Peiathe, the Eagle, looks down In to the valley—on Lawrence. His ride has been In vain. Miles back, on the road from Quindaro, the little chestnut mare lies still in darkening blood. Too late! In the light of the dawn Pelathe. the Eagle, jpoks upon burning houses. The ’ screaths of weeping women mhigle with fierce oaths. Guns roar. Villagers, white lipped, see their last sunrise. The butchery that cost, that August morning in 1863. not fewer than 150 lives, is on. Quantrill and his men are making a shambles of Lawrence. Their cry to the ashen-faced, weeping, new-made widows is: A • “We are devils from hell!” Pelatbe, the Eagle, sits on Ids pony, n statue in the dawn. His face is buried in his hands. ((£). 1929.

Napoleon Liked Theater But Bought Few Tickets Whatever Napoleon might have thought of the two new films about him that have just been launched it Is safe to assume that he would have demanded free seats to view them.

SAVINGS PASSBOOKS SOUGHTBY CROOKS Use Them to Steal Money by Forged Slips — Should Be Guarded as Carefully as Cash. • Continued vigilance in safeguarding savings pass books, as well as blank and cancelled checks,^against theft by crooks, who use this material in for gery operations, is urged on bank cus tomers by James E.-Baum, Deputy Manager of the American Bankers Association, in charge of its Protec tive Department. This department is continually vigilant in promoting means, both among bankers and the general public, to thwart the operation of bank crooks. It annually investi gates hundreds of crimes against hanks and is responsible for the ma jority of arrests among this class of criminals. “In a large majority of cases of forgeries t>n checks or savings with drawal orders investigated by the American Bankers Association, stolen blank checks or savings pass books were the forgers’ chief stock in trade,” Mr. Baum says. “In may instances the temptation presented through the careless handling by depositors of can celled or blank checks or pass books so that they fell into the bands of others was the immediate stimulus for Litherto honest people to commit their first criminal offense.” Banks should educate their deposi tors to exert the same degree of care in handling these instruments and to avoid leaving them about unguarded as they exercise in respect to actual money because they represent money, he declares. For dealing with the bank robbery situation, Mr. Baum recommends the use of electrical alarms actuated by any tampering with the wires or.mech* anisrn and also wider adoption of the plan of state police forces now em ployed in a few states, declaring that last year in seven eastern states where state police forces were m&intaiued there were only 20 bank holdups as against 164 similar attacks perpetrated against banks in five states in the central and far west, where banks are denied the advantages of the speedy and coordinated action given by state wide police forces. “The records of the American Bank ers Association Protective Department reveal that for many years the odds in favor of state police protection have been at least 8 to 1 when measured by the experience of banks in states where efficient police protection is missing in the rural districts,” he cays. THE THINKER LEADS MODERN PROGRESS By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers Association HTHE greatest need of the world to- ^ day is Interpreters of our times —modern Daniels in agriculture, finance, politics, industry — who can see through the fog and haze that enshroud our difficult problems and advise, in struct, and influ ence those who are either indif ferent or limited in their percep tions. Through the thinker and the j 0 hn G. Lonsdale interpreter, u n • known situations are disclosed or puzzling conditions explained in logi- caf'llght. The American people are *fo constituted that they can meet and combat any situation once it Is known and understood. It is the unknown that comes like the thief in the night and brings disaster. Some one has defined prosperity as something the business men create for the politicians to take credit for. But America’s present-day prosperity can oe defined as a product resulting from the business man’s ability to study and to interpret. Huge corpora tions maintain research staffs and special bureaus to interpret the times for them. Disaster looms in the offing for any industry that goes blithely on its way day after day without due re gard to significant trends In trade and business. < , Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered that they cannot remain passive In an age when all the rest of the world is in a transitional stage. The modern banker not only must know about the changing styles In other lines of busi ness, but above all must be alert to the transformations which are taking place in his own. He must be a man of keener, broader vision, because the order of the day is for larger units of service. Mergers and consolidations have taken place in great numbers We now talk of billions where a few years ago we talked of millions. We have only begun our jehanges. What disposition, is to bo made of the many problems that they bring <viil depend in large measure upon our Leaders, upon the students aud the'io- terpreters who can read accurately the signs of the times, sp that we may base future actions , and hopes upon their wisdom. The quickest way to go to the top is to gp Jo the bottom of '.hings, and let us hope that among them will be found manj who *.11 not only aspire to leadership but will be successful in reaching their goal. w LET IE MESSENGER DO TOUR JOB POINTING -00— -00— -00— We are prepared to do various kinds of job printing neatly and promptly and solicit your orders for Ruled Letterheads Typewriter Letterheads Noteheads Billheads > ■ > -i * rt i . i ! i • i i l » ■* m * r- r 1/ * A f i Statements j Envelopes Posters Circular Letters Folders Business Cards % Visiting Cards Special Invoices Day Books Receipt Books Tally Sheets Lumber T^ailies Notes t Chattel Mortgages Crop Mortgages And many other special forms of printing or rule work.
