As We Journey Through Life
The time comes to alJ of us when we are
made to appreciate the value of a dol-
lar_and it’s a good thing too, otherwise
we might become a very wasteful and
extravagant nation.
If we always raised bumper crops and
sold them at fabulous prices—if we all
had good jobs with fat salaries and the
money fairly rolling in, it would prob
ably roll out a little bit faster, and
therc’d be more ‘‘spoiled babies” in this
world than you “could shake a stick at.”
So when a little adversity comes along __
enough
it rains too much or doesn’t rain
if the works shut down for a
while, there’s no use to grumble about
it. We’d better put in that time doing
some hard thinking thinking how we
can make our dollars go further.
So, if you have been a little disappointed
with your income this year, don’t grum
ble about it, but give a thought to know
how and where you can make those dol
lars go further. Come and see us atid
if you’ve got ‘'money to burn,” better
visit us too, for it’s prudent to be thrifty.

COME TO GALLANT-BELK’S BIG SHOE DEPARTMENT FRIDAY AND SATUR
DAY AND BE PERFECTLY FITTED IN BETTER SHOES FOR LESS MONEY
The family shoe bill is quite an item in the yearly cost of living. For our own bene
fit, we all should wear good, well-made shoes and that is particularly true with
the children. It is neither economical nor wise to buy cheap, poorly made shoes
merely to get a low price and it is extravagant, regardless of one’s income, to pay
ridiculously high prices. The thing to do is look for values—the combination of
style, fit," comfort and long wear at moderate cost.

Highway Labor
Reports Asked
COLUMBIA, Sept. 27.—Ben M.
Sawyer, chief highway commission-
.er, today mailed questionnaires to
I contractors engaged in highway
j construction in South Carolina to
determine the proportion of native-
labor employed on state projects.
| The step followed the order of
: an investigation into the employ
ment of construction by the state
highway commission at a recent
meeting. At that lime complaints
were received that the commission
had not abided by its decision that
native South Carolinians would be
given preference for employment*
Commissioner Sawyer pointed
out that the resolution passed by
the commission was not intended
to apply “in the case of organiza
tion heads, superintendents, and
such technicians as may be neces
sary to form the skeleton organiza
tion of any going concern.”
j The questionnaire will also cover
the wage scale. It asks the num
ber of South Carolinians employed!
in all positions. Sawyer said thei
replies would form the basis of
report on the matter he has been,
directed to make at the next meet-*
ing of the commission.
