a great deal of employment this

should have been done a long

is an ambitious program and we are
proud of it.

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

Haulers right in this com

“Tough spots” and hills hardly

actually giving many haulers

But don’t stop at these facts.
Look at cost sheets. Figures
for gas, oil, repairs and re

McCORMICK, S. C.
(Augusta Chronicle.)
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

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.

ered 3,150 miles in twelve days.
The Greenville News, Oct. 5.
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.
Chest Colds
Don’t let them get a strangle hold. Fight
them quickly. Creomulsion combines 7 helps
in one. Powerful but harmless. Pleasant to
take. No narcotics. Your own druggist is
authorized to refund your money on the
spot if your cough or cold ia not relieved by
Creomulsion. (adv.)
