M. Clark, extension agricultural economist. Stating that in South Carolina the production of feed grains in 1934 was a little below that of 1933 bat slightly above average, Mr. Clark gives briefly the essential facts foi; an understanding of the feed grains outlook as based on pro duction and consumption. He says: “The 1,372,000,000 bushels of com produced 4n 1934 are just a little more than half the average five- year production. The total pro- daction of all feed grains (com, oats, barley, and grain sorghum) was about half the five-year aver age. The total supply of all feed grains on farms including the stocks of old grains, wheat for feed, cotton seed for feed, etc., 1 about 80 per cent of last year’, supply, and about 70 per cent of the five-year average supply. Th present indications are that com mercial feed supplies will be about 10 per cent less than last year anc 30 per cent below average. “There has been a reduction ir the number of grain-consuming an imals since a year ago. In the country, as a whole, the number oi grain-consuming animal units wa on November 1 about 19 per cen J less than on the corresponding date a year earlier. The reduction i v grain-consuming animals in Soutl Carolina has been much less thai in the country as a whole. “The prices of feed grains hav increased sharply since the fall o 1933. The price of corn to farmer in the country as a whole practical ly doubled between October 193v and ' October 1934. Under th€ stimulus of shorter supplies anc higher prices, the planting of feed grains will very likely be materiallj higher in 1935 than in 1934.” CHILDRENS CDLDS !5S?

S. Royster Guano Company—fifty years of making fertilizers—a half century of sticking hard and fast to the original Royster creed of making the best fertilizers it is humanly possible to make. This half century has been a period of wonderful progress in agriculture —and during this time Royster has never stopped studying growing plants and plant food needs, carrying on exhaustive research work, testing every new source of plant food — all in an effort to improve Royster Fertilizer year after year. During these fifty years the Company has confined its efforts to the man ufacture of fertilizers—and nothing else. The ownership of the Company has remained in the hands of the Royster family, and is being handed down from one generation to the next. And, we take pride in the fact that the men who own and control the Company today are the men who actually run the business. On this, the occasion of our Fiftieth Anniversary, we take pleasure in paying tribute to the thousands of loyal Royster customers who have helped to make our success possible—and to whom we renew our pledge >f continued service.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 25.—A states ment issued today by Chief State Bank Examiner Thomas H. Daniel showed an increase of 31 per cent in deposits and 24.9 per cent in to tal assets of state banks during 1934. The statement, based upon offi cial reports to Daniel’s office, gave total deposits on December 31, 1934, as $65,653,518 as compared with S5G, 112,693 on the same date in 1933. Total assets in state banks and depositories amounted to $78,848,- 427 the close of 1934 as compared with $62,788,123 on December 31. 1933, the statement said. During the j^ear, it was pointed out, the amount of cash on hand and in banks increased from $20,- 085,989 to $28,467,524 or approxi mately 40 per cent. Cash and re serves made up 42 per cent of to tal deposits at the close of 1934, the statement set forth. The chief examiner called atten tion to increase of loans and dis counts in 1934 from $19,995,910 to $25,978,385, or approximately 30 per cent, “indicating a much larger ex pansion of bank credit on the part of state financial institutions than has generally supposed to have been the case.” Real estate holdings of banks, in cluding banking houses and “other real estate materially decreased du ring the year,” the statement said. coM. tala » BAYER Mj ita. cj Jfg TOUOWIflU About 90 Per Cent Of Chevrolet Owners Specify Knee-Action Approximately ninety per cent of the orders from Chevrolet deal ers for the new 1935 Master De Luxe line of cars specify knee-ac tion, which is offered this year as optional equipment on this series at $20 additional cost, according to Doctors Know! • •• • a ml they use liquid laxatives You’d use a liquid, too, if you knew how much better it makes you feel A liquid laxative can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of real and safe relief from constipation. Just ask your own doctor about this. Ask your druggist how popular liquid laxatives have become. The right liqnid laxative gives the right kind of help—and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without aid. People who have experienced this 'omfort, never return to any form of help that can’t be regulated! The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara, and these are natural laxatives that form no habit. It relieves a condition of biliousness or sluggishness without upset. I o relieve your occasional upsets safely and comfortably, try Syrup Pepsin. The druggist has it. ^.GzMoe^'i • SYRUP PEPSIN kiyccm**** 1 %***«,_ U* ly Kbk da*riss £.

Holier, general sale:}! manager of Chevrolet Motor Com- i pany. i ‘ Not only are the advance orders f from dealers for delivery from the factory showing this high percent age of knee-action cars specified.” said Mr. Holler, “but orders for re tail delivery to customers are show ing approximately the aame ratio. “These advance orders and pro jections from our dealers bear out the statement, made when we an nounced knee-action as optional equipment on the Master De Luxe series earlier in January, that knee-action had proved so popular on our cars during 1934, and was considered such aji important feature by the public, that nearly all Master De Luxe sales in 1935 would be cars with knee-action. “Public acceptance of both lines of Chevrolets is more enthusiastic thqn ever before, according to tele- €Tr.ir*hin rpnorts from hundreds of Oiu lesson is found in the vivid last chapter of the fourth gospel, v/hich scholars consider an ap pendix. The scene is the Sea of Galilee. A large population at that time was engaged in. the catching and marketing of fish, a business that proved to be profit able. The story opens with Peter’s pro posal to six fellow-disciples to go a fishing. We are then told that they toiled with the net through the night, but without success. In the morning the risen Jesus stood on the beach and talked with them. At first they did not jecogniae Him. but when, at His direction, they cast the net at the right hand side of the boat, and suddenly found it full of fish, they at once knew it was their Master. Immediately Peter, with characteristic abandon, drew on his shirt, fastened his girdle, and plunged into the water. the others following in the boat, 1 dragging after them the net now so heavy. And now came the memorable conversation between Jesus and Peter with respect to the depth of the latter’s affection. Note that to him who had made a threefold denial, opportunity is now given for a three-fold confession. Peter was offended that the Master should present the query, “Am I dear to you?” a third time. But he had no reason to be thus grieved in view of his triple, traitorous denial. Jesus here gave His dis loyal apostle full opportunity to be restored to the fullness of His con fidence. And nobly did Peter rise to the occasion. With great earn estness he cried, “Master, you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.” But notice how Jesus insisted that Peter’s love issue in practical action. “Feed my lambs” he three times demanded. Well He knew that mental attitudes not resulting in deeds are unwholesome. There fore He commissioned Peter to be a faithful pastor or shepherd of the frail lamb} in His fold. our larger dealers. “This fact was quite apparent co visitors in the Chevrolet exhibit at the New York and Detroit automo bile shows. Three things register ed themselves with auto show guests—first, the new beauty of exterior and interior appearance together with the wealth of com fort and convenience features of the new Master De Luxe oars; sec ond. the spirited performance of the New Standard Six; and third that despite the host of new features and obvious high quality of both new Chevrolets. 1935 prices are at the same level as 1934 on the Master De Luxe and lower on the Standard line.” ( Your own druggist is authorized^ to cheerfully refund your money on the spot if you are not re lieved by Creomulsion. » U G H S Trespass Notice No trespassing allowed on the Boysworth place about 1 1-2 mile north-west of McCormick.
