Since all of the* motor vehicles in the State must bear new licenses by the first of November, the High way Department has designated a group of its workers to travel about the State to serve automobile own ers who do not live near Columbia where the Department’s license office is located. ■ Because of the reduced rates on practically every type of motor ve hicle, Department officials- believe that a quick response will meet the license sale this week, and next. Licenses for the new year may be displayed now. Licenses may be purchased for a half year or for the full year, No vember 1, 1934, to October 31j 1935. Twenty five cents is saved by the purchase of the full-year tags. This year the licenses, for the full year, are being sold between the price range of $5.10 for Class “A’” tags to $14.10 for the Class “G” tags. Last year the same tags cost from $9.60 to $26.60.

Advance reports refer to “Love Time” as “the kind of a love story the whole world loves.” The new film, which features the exquisite English beauty, “Pat” Paterson, and Nils Asther as the principals of its romantic story, deals with the youth of the world-famed compos er, Franz Schubert, and the first great love of his life. Set in Austria in the early years of the nineteenth century, “Love Time” follows Schubert from his remote village home to the court of the Emperor at Vienna. And with him goes the lovely Valerie. (“Pat” Paterson), who, history re lates. was the daughter of a noble man high in the councils of the CLEMBON COLLEGE, Oct. 13.— The fall festival of the School of Agriculture to be held here Friday, November 9, will be an agricultural fair or real interest and educational value and well worth attendance by farmers and other citizens interest ed in up-to-date agriculture. Ac cording to plans now being perfect ed every department of the School of Agriculture will be represented —agronomy, agricultural chemis try, agricultural economics, agricul tural engineering, horticulture, ani mal husbandry, dairying, botany and bacteriology, entomology and zoology, agricultural education. The work of staging the festival, first of its kind to be held at Clem- son, is being done by the students under guidance of the agricultural faculty and co-operation of re search and extension workers. The primary object is of course educa tional benefit to the students.- S.' A. Gause, St. Stephens, is general' manager; W. S. Britt, McCormick, chairman of plans and exhibits; J. H. Cochran, Abbeville, finance; J. T. Rivers, Brunson, concessions; W. M. Thackston, Greenville, enteiv tainment; K. W. McGee, Belton, and D. T. Pope, Edisto Island, pub licity. According to the plans the School of Agriculture will hold op en house during the morning when visitors may inspect its various de partments and see the students at work getting training in scientific agriculture. Beginning at noon the exhibits will be displayed in the field house. These will in clude farm products, vegetables and fruits in season, dairy products, flowers and ornamental plants, farm implements, animals, forestry and insect exhibits, fertilizers, and others. Various forms of entertainment will be provided, and a dance that evening will conclude the program of events. J. B. White & Company Announce Annual Harvest Sale Fall is here! . . Winter just around the comer. Strikes and ru mors cf strikes are over and past . . business IS better, and White’s in Augusta has made unusually elab orate plans for the firm’s annual Harvest Sale. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been invested in qual ity merchandise for this 8-day sale which begins on Friday, October 19th, and executives state that ev- | iry department of the nearly 100 „ , . „' which comprise this great store, is Emperor, though she was reared as , r , ^, ’ ... I prepared to orfer customers sub stantial savings. Every item is per bale (or twelve cents per pound) plus expenses at the rate of thirty cents per bale per month after October 1, 1934. Instructions for sellng this new Participation Trust Certificate can be found on the reverse side of Form C-5I. Pool members* should exercise their own judgment in the matter of offering their Certificates for sale to the Pool Manager. The cotton is being carried at a very low cost and unless the market goes ma terially higher will be carried for an indefinite pertotTof time if the Pool members so desire.” E. L. ROGERS, County Agent, McCormick, S. C. village maid Many of Schubert’s immortal compositions, among them the famous “Serenade,” “Moment Musi cal,” “Impatience” and the delight ful “Who Is Sylvia?”, are said to have been woven into the story of “Love Time,” pointing and enhanc ing its moods and moments. The musical climax of the picture ie achieved when Schubert appears before the Emperor and his court and directs a huge orchestra in a rendition of his own music. The drama of this situation is heightened by the fact that the composer believes he is to lose the girl he loves at the conclusion of the concert. She has been reveal ed as a daughter of royalty; he is but a lowly musician. James Tinling has directed “Love Time” with what is said to be un usual feeling both for its lyric mood and for the interludes of spirited comedy supplied by a fa mous corps of funsters. Among the latter are Herbert Mundin, Harry Green, Lucien Littlefield, Georgia Caine and Roger Imhof. seasonable and desirable, and ev ery day of the sale a feature event v/ill be offered, with previously ad vertised merchandise continued on sale. White’s buying staff has just re turned from the northern markets where purchases for the Harvest Sale were made. There will be ex traordinary values in wearing ap parel for every member of the fam ily— also house furnishings of un usual attractiveness. James P.
