It is an ambitious program and we are proud of it. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months.50 SCHOOL AHEAD—SLOW DOWN! The following from the Industrial News Review is of great value at this time and it is hoped it will be read and heeded by all: During the summer months those warnings you see on country roads and in city streets, “School Ahead—Slow Down!” or “School tlhead—Watch Out!” mean little to you. You know the buildings are closed and the youngsters scattered to all points of the com pass, and you continue your speed without slackening. . Now, however, those signs have a grave significance. Throughout the country, thirty million children haye again picked up their text books and readers and are busy at their school work. The signs are a vital warning to all motorists to watch out for the youngsters. In spite of the efforts of school -• authorities and safety workers, au tomobile casualties still account for more child fatalities than any oth er accidental cause. Last year, 4,- 160 boys and girls of school age were killed in such mishaps, and many thousands more were injur ed, according to figures supplied by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters TTbe evidence underlying the sta tistics appears to place the blame heavily on motorists, for the youngsters have shown a remark able ability to watch out for them selves by observing safety rules and principles. In five years, for example, while motor vehicle acci dents involving adults have in creased 34 per cent, those involving children have decreased 20 per cent. It has been said that the achieve ment in the schools is the brightest BY PATRICIA DOW t£A I Gre &oe fr $ wmt V ■> palUvn.

A California user reports hauling gross loads of 14 tons over a hilly, 80-mile run regu larly in three hours. Haulers right in this com munity are making similar records with the new Ford V-8 Truck. Talk especially to those who formerly used expensive “big equipment.” Their loads mean uttle to the brute pull ing-power of the go-horse power Ford V-8 engine. “Tough spots” and hills hardly slow it down. With its high speed, the new Ford V-8 is actually giving many haulers extra trips per day. But don’t stop at these facts. Look at cost sheets. Figures for gas, oil, repairs and re placements will show that the ton-mile operating cost of the new Ford V-8 is actually lower than that of a “4.” Toe new Ford brakes and dutch take abuse that ordinarily would mean a trip to the repair shop. The new Ford V-8 literallv sets a new standard of truck performance and economy. It is America’s great truck value. 445 t^FORD V-8 ANP UR, F. O. B.

The assurance is given that in the next letting in Atlanta the state highway department will award a contract for the paving of six miles through Columbia county on the Furey’s ferry road, which will connect *up with the paving on the Washington road leading in to Augusta, and connect at the bridge over the Savannah river with the paving between Green wood and the river. Practically all of the paving to Greenwood, a dis tance of approximately 45 miles from the Savannah, has been com pleted, and we understand the last short lap is now being worked on. This will mean that two paved roads will run from Augusta to Greenwood, one via Edgefield and the other via McCormick. The most important idea about the completion of the paving on km Furey’s ferry route on both sides of the Savannah is the fact that it will permit people from Greenwood, Abbeville, Anderson and McCormick counties to do their trading in Augusta. The best of sand clay or gravel roads wear down in wet weather with much travel until they become almost impassable, while in fair weather they are dusty. Either'is bad and the paved highway furnishes a de pendable method of travel every day in the year regardless of weather. With the paving assured for an other highway to Greenwood and with work progressing toward pav ing from Waynesboro to Millen and from Waynesboro to Sylvania which will bring us nearer toward two paved highways between Au gusta and Savannah; with the paving of the road between War- renton and MiUedgeville opening up another paved highway to Mac on; th£ paving of the Hephztbah spur, the Wheless road and various Lindy Kidnaping Ladder Material Supposedly From Near McCormick Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can he measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose’’ a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often d« more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxa tive; effective for all ages, and may he given the voungett child.

The Lindbergh kidnaping ladder probably was made of South Caro lina pine, it was indicated yester day by information to effect that wood in the ladder came originally from near McCormick. Detectives and experts followed a devious trail in seeking source of the wood out of which the kidnap er fashioned the ladder. It was learned that the car which carried lumber to the Bronx dealer, from whom. Bruno Hauptmann is said to have purchased lumber for the ladder, had been traced to a sale made to Macon, Ga., by C. C. Ar nett, southern representative of the New York wholesale lumber dealers, Hallahan and McLellan. According to information coming from New York, the wood for the ladder came from the National Millwork and Lumber company of Macon and was shipped to that concern by M. G. and J. J. Dorn, of McCormick. The Dorn concern is a regular customer of the New York wholesalers. A check on car shipments re vealed that the carload purchased from Hallahan and McLellan had been bought for them by Mr. Ar nett, southern representative with offices in Macon. Mr. Arnett buys all the yellow pine for his com pany through his office in the Georgia city, and the particular lumber in question was supposed to have come from the McCormick section, in South Carolina.
