Highway Workers
Ready To Assist
Vehicle Owners
COLUMBIA, Oct. 16.—Patrolmen
and Inspectors of the State High
way Department this week scatter
ed to almost every town in South
Carolina to assist owners of motor
vehicles in the purchase of the
1934-35 licenses before the big rush
for tags, that is expected the last
of the month, gets under way.
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.
Residents of this community will
be served by Inspector J. M. Mot-
singer on October 18 and 25 when
he will be at McGrath Motor Com
pany between 1 p. m. and 5 p. m.

“LOVE TIME” REVEALS DRA
MATIC ROMANCE IN YOUTH

A picture said to be unexcelled
for idyllic romance and gay, youth
ful appeal, the Fox Film produc
tion, “Love Time,” is scheduled to
run at the Hollywood Theatre on
Friday and Saturday, October 19th
and 20th.
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

of thirty cents per bale per month

for sellng this new Participation

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

members so desire.”

County Agent, McCormick, S. C.

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

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.
