AIR MAIL GROWS
The amount of mail that flies to
all parts of the country is four
times as large as it was one year
ago. Furthermore, the bulging
pouches of mail grow more num
erous and bulging every month.
In round statistics, mail planes
now fly 50,000 miles daily across
41 states and into Canada, Mexico
and Central America. These fig
ures, given by the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce, of course,
represent air ports all over the
United States which alone has 30,-
000 miles of airways.
A reduction in the air postal rate
from five to two cents has been
suggested even though the deficit
in the postoffice department was
largely attributed to loss of money
on air mail. The reduction has
been suggested as a sure means of
increasing the air mail business to
the point where the government
will find it profitable to make con
tracts with air companies on the
basis of space used as is done in
the case of railroads . This would
mean no loss of revenue to Uncle
Bam as well as a nice slice of cake
for grateful subjects.

“This Man Harris”
the American Legion, the Masons,
the Red Men, and others, but poli
tically he started from “scratch,”
and even his closest friends at
first doubted his ability to win, but
by his tireless efforts, his personal
appeal, his clean cut appearance,
and courageous speeches from the
stump, he has made a tremendous
impression upon the people of the
state.
His popularity seems to be
growing daily and today those who
like to “pick the winner” are giv
ing serious and close attention to
“this man Harris.”

dorse 4-H Club Work
(Anderson Daily Mail.)
An editorial in one of the papers
of this state a few days ago asked
the question, “Who is this man
Harris?” and this same question
has been asked by thousands of the
voters of the state since Harris an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
office of United States senator, the
question growing in volume as the
campaign has progressed and as
Harris has appeared before the
people making his appeal for their
support. How it seems to us fit and
proper that his home paper should
answer the question and tell the
people who Harris is and why he
deserves their serious consideration
as a candidate.
Leon W. Harris was bom in
Oconee county thirty-nine years
ago, the son of a farmer, and spent
his early years on the farm. He
received his education in the pub
lic schools of this state and at
Washington and Lee College in
Virginia and studied law in Wash
ington, D. C., while working as sec
retary to the late Senator Ben
jamin Ryan Tillman. His parents
were people of moderate circum
stances and Harris was forced to
work for his education.
When his country entered the
World War in 1917, Harris enlisted
in the service as a “back private”
and served in the armed forces of
his country for the duration of the
war.
After his return to this country,
he located at Anderson and began
the practice of his profession as
a lawyer. Shortly thereafter he
was a candidate for the office of
solicitor of the Tenth Judicial Cir
cuit, composed of Anderson and
Oconee counties, and was elected
by a nice majority. He has served
well in this office and lias proven
popular with the people of the cir
cuit, for he has twice been re-elect
ed and now holds the office.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 8.—
The American Legion, Department
of South Carolina at the recent
State Convention, passed a resolu
tion to co-operate with the com
munity 4-H clubs of the state in
building citizenship, in their com
munity activities, and with their
demonstrations.
The resolution, made known by
Lt. Colonel George A. Hanvey, Jr.,
Abbeville, to Dr. W. W. Long, direc
tor of Extension here, is as follows:
“WHEREAS: The State of
South Carolina is so very depend
ent on agriculture and rural life,
in such dire need of the develop
ment of our farm lands into AS
SETS instead of LIABILITIES:
“WHEREAS: The future success
of farming is largely dependent up
on the young boys and girls in our
rural communities being properly
trained in the methods which are
being carried to them through the
Extension Service by the County
Demonstration Agents in each
county of the state through 4-H
club work:
“WHEREAS: Abbeville County
Post No. 2 American Legion is
sponsoring 4-H club work in Ab
beville County and believes this is
a great opportunity for the dif
ferent posts in the state to render
service to ttieir communities and
to the state:
“THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV
ED, That the American Legion, De
partment of South Carolina, here
by goes on record as endorsing this
great work in building citizenship
through the 4-H clubs of the state,
and urges each post in the state to
lend its support toward the suc
cess of this work in their commun
ities.”
Col. Hanvey attended the re
cent State Short Course as a lo
cal leader, and after seeing the en
thusiasm of the 191 boys in their
work, representing every section of
the state, he foresaw a chance for
the American Legion to assist these
boys in their high aims.

Chevrolet Topples
Another Record
FLINT, Mich., Aug. 12.—Another
automotive record toppled here on
Thursday when the Chevrolet Mo-
!tor Company turned out its two
millionth six cylinder car less than
twenty full months after the in
troduction of this type.
Just as Chevrolet led the world
in four cylinder car production
during the last two years that the
company built that type, so now
it assumes leadership in the six
cylinder field by having built near
ly five times as many sixes in
1 twenty months as any other manu
facturer in the history of the in
