Rector, former sheriff of Green ville county, who was recently con victed as an accessory after the fact of manslaughter in connection with the killing of Sheriff Sam Willis, today appealed to Governor John G. Richards here for a par don, it was learned from the gov ernor today. Questioned in regard to the mat ter, the governor stated that Rec tor based his request for clemency on, first, a declaration of his inno cence of any connection with the slaying of Sheriff Willis and, sec ond, lack of funds to prosecute his appeal for a new trial before the supreme court of South Carolina. Governor Richards, asked what his reply to Recor’s petition was stated that he had informed the former Greenville officer that a pardon was impossible and that his advice was to continue prosecu tion of his appeal. The court, the governor said he told Rector, was ohe proper place for him to con tinue his fight for freedom. • IXX Advertising Needed For Business Tonic •OI T GE, Jan. 13.— The six trench silos constructed in Abbeville county last fall show some very interesting facts re garding this practical and success ful method of ensiling crops for winter feeding, reports C. G. Cush man, extension dairyman. Trench silos have just been introduced in to South Carolina and the experi ence of farmers with them this winter is proving that they are very practical for this section. One of the greatest advantages of a trench silo is the inexpensive construction, the average cost in Abbeville county being $15.50 each, and ranging from $6 for the one constructed by R. Mcllwaine to $40 for the one on the farm of W. A. King, the former being an 18-ton silo and the latter a 24-ton silo, reason for the great difference be ing that Mr. Mcllwaine did not build a roof over his silo as did Mr. oocner we an stop talking how bad times are and start ta king about how much we, as in dividuals, can do to bring out all of the prosperity possibilities of the future, the better it will be for the country in general. There is altogether too much talk about Wall Street and the stock market and not near enough about Main street and the local market. After all, the stock market is so remote from the large per centage of our population that it exists really as a sort of adult “buggy- boo” with which we go around scar ing ourselves. Fortunately, many sections of the country have already learned to smile at the “scare” which set tled down on business a year ago, and we are going ahead in courage ous manner, satisfied, after looking around a. bit, that* the United States is a sound, solid sort of place Notice is hereby given that the undersigns have this day under the statutes in such mo<iA or*<5 Tvw r *' 1 - ed, formed a Limited Partnership on the following terms and con ditions. 1.

For the conduct of a general NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Faith in the success of continued advertis ing through periods of boom and depression is expressed by several leading advertisers in thq current issue of Printer’s Ink, advertising publication. “What is the real value of con tinued advertising effort?” the publication asked. J. L. Johnson, president of the Lambert Pharmacal company, re plied, “Our opinion of the import ance of continuity of advertising effort is shown by the 10-year per iod of our advertising . expendi tures.” J. A. Zehntbaur, president of Jantzen Knitting Mills, Inc., an swered,' “Our experience is thor oughly convincing as to the neces sity of advertising continuity, x x x In increasing our advertising out lay for 1931 we believe that we are sowing the seed of future volume and' profits.” # Louis W.- Wheelbck, • vice-presi dent, Stephen F.

The average cost of con- j n which to live and do business, struction of these Abbeville silos was $1.95 per ton and the average cost of filling was 89 cents per ton. Inspection after the silage had been fed out of the silos for 30 to 45 days disclosed one major im- proveiftent that could be made, this being in the cutting of the com or cane to go into the silos. Cutters too small in size or im properly adjusted, running at too low a speed, and dull knives are some of the troubles that must be remedied to get the silage proper ly cut up. The silage found on C. W. Craw ford’s farm was properly cut, While at some of the other places the si lage was found to be shredded in stead of cut to the proper lengths of one-half inch or slightly less. Unless silage is cut properly, there will be a lot of wastagft in feeding, it cannot be as compactly stored, spoilage will result, and it will be difficult to get out of the silo. How ever, even in the case of those trench silos where the silage was not properly cut it was found to be in good condition and well pre served; so that the trench silo can be recommended to any farmer having as many as five cows to carry through the winter. txx mercantile business in the town of Bordeaux, County of McCormick,' to make national advertising* count State of South Carolina. 3.

ML Clark, farm management specialist, who adds that the best time to make an inventory is between January 1 and the time spring work begips. An inventory is valuable in that: 1. It shows one where he stand? financially. A person is too liable to judge his financial condition by the amount of cash on hand. The size of the bank balance is not a safe guide as to one’s financial situation nor necessarily a correct ndication of one’s financial prog ress. Farm machinery on hand and improved by fences, corn ir the c:ib, and ho^s in the pasture are just as much assets as monej in the bank. 2. Two inventories taken a yea: apart show whether one is 'letLin? ahead or not and how much. 3. It provides a very va.uaX record in case of fire or sett in'y ar estate. In the case of a fire o: funeral a fairer, easier, and quick er settlement can be made if an in ventory is available. A nan o\\ it to himself and to his family \ keep such a record. 4. An inventory is necessary fc filing a credit statement at tb bank. Many farmers could get ; better credit rating at the bank than they now enjoy if they wen about it in a business-like way that is submitting a credit state ment based upon a detailed inven tory. Bankers cannot be expectec to lend the money of their deposi tors without a full knowledge of the borrower’s financial status. Such knowledge is not possible without a complete list of all the borrower owns and all he owes. 14th day of January 1931. A. S. CADE, General Partner. • O. G. CALHOUN, Special Partner. January 14, 1931.—6t. > • • 1 • - ■ - — Some of the old people think the young people are foolish because they don’t know the things it takes forty or fifty years to learn. *X* Perhaps some people were over spent a year ago, with advance commitments covering a large per centage of their income; perhaps some people have over-saved during the past few months, with too much of their earning capacity represented by “saving” and not enough by “buying.” One excess is as bad as another. It is certain, however, that we- have as a nation established the highest standards of living that social history has ever known. We are not going to lower those stand ards. We have shown that we can afford them and that we know how to maintain them. On this fact, perhaps more than on any other, is based the courag eous face with which so many of our business men in every com munity in the country, are looking forward into 1931. The success of this country is not built upon the single accomplishments of a few individuals occupying great seats of centralized power. It is found ed upon the sum of the accomp lishments of thousands of indi viduals, each serving in his own way to better the community in which he .Uves. So long as this secure foundation is maintained, we can look upon economic crises like the present, in terms of temporary readjustments from which lasting benefits are to- come, just,as they have in the past. Conditions at the present time are not as bad as those of 1921. Nor were those as bad and far reaching as those of 1907. By such measurements, we are proving our national resiliency in times of Napoleon once said, when oned regarding his unfailing y to win victories, “While oth ers talked, I marched.” Surely there can be no better guide for individual actions during the twelve months just started. X State Deficit Of $4,- 884,774.90 Over Mill ion Larger Than 1929 COLUMBIA, Jan. 12.—The state deficit of South Carolina at the close of the year 1930 was $4,884,- 774.90, an increase of $1,036,050.42 over the deficit of 1929. This is disclosed in a statement of current liabilities and resources cf the state made public today by A. J. Beattie, comptroller general. Commenting on the increase in the deficit, the comptroller general says “the increase in the deficit of $1,036,050.42 for 1930, is brought about by appropriations in excess of revenues as heretofore. “The indirect tax shows a de crease of $54,844.98, also, on account of the decrease in the total assess ed value of property throughout the state. Heretofore there has been practically no loss in the property tax.” “The property tax assessment for 1930, amounting to $2,076,950.69, IS: in the hands of treasurers through out the state, for collection, while the delinquent tax, amounting to $636,798.63, is in the handSsof the sheriffs and tax collectors.
