Every one of them has improvements and refinements of construction and design, intended to increase the comfort and safety of those who ride in them. Looking over the advanced an nouncements, it seems apparent that anybody who buys any of the new 1939 models will get a better car for his money than he has ever been able to get before. There is only one radical inno vation in motor vehicles that has come to our attention. While everybody has been trying to make motoring more comfortable for those who use their vehicles only for road travel, nobody here tofore has thought of making it more comfortable for the man who rides over plowed ground—the farmer who drives a tractor. If comfort is not needed there, it would be hards to say where it is needed. The newest thing in tractors has an enclosed cab, with safety glass, cushioned seats for two, is air- ventilated and provided with a beater for cold weather. It has a self-starter, an electric cigar- Ighter, a complete set of head and tail lights, and even a radio. If that doesn’t take a lot of hard work and monotony out of farm ing, what would? This new motor vehicle, in addi- fion to being able to pull plows and harrows across the field can •go to town” at forty miles an hour on the highway, hauling one ©r more trucks to market. One bnaglnes that might also serve as a vehicle for joy-riding on moon- Sght nights. At least, it is something new in fnrm equipment. txi Something Tangible At Last veyors is indeed thrilling news to the entire Augusta area, and gives hope that the long and arduous fight for Clarks Hill has been well worth the effbrt and the price paid.

Trom The Augusta Chronicle, Oct. 21. There is every reason to concur Si the belief of Mr. Lester S. Moody, secretary of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, that the construction of the vast Clarks Hill hydro-electric project will transform the Savannah River Valley into a new industrial em pire. Mr. Mocdy, more than any other person, is in a position to know the tremendous potentialities of flie huge government development, which, after several years of pre- Xminary planning, is about to be come a reality. For the past three pears or more, Mr. Moody has vir tually lived for the culmination of ttte Clarks Hill dream. He has made countless trips to Washing ton and elsewhere in its behalf; ke has interviewed scores upon ■oores of influential people, and written volumes of communica tions relative to the project. And now the first tangible evi dence that Clarks Hill shortly will become a realty is at hand. With- Ih a few days a corps of U. S. Army engineers will begin a topo- praohical survey of the Clarks Hm area. This survey is seen as a preliminary to the actual purchase of the site, a step which must be taken before the work of cleaning the basin for the $22,500,000 de velopment is started. But the big news today is that flie United States government is actually taking the first concrete step looking toward the beginning •f the project. This is the thing that offers the greatest encourage ment. It is something tangible. None can forsee the revolution ary change that the mighty proj ect with a triple purpose—flood control, navigation and power— will bring in the life of the Sa vannah River Valley. Suffice to say that it will not be many years after the completion of Clarks Hill that Augusta and this entire area will be a rich, humming industrial metropolis, the like of which our ancestors never dreamed of before Clarks Hill was conceived.

Treasurer’s Notice The County Treasurer’s Office will be open for the purpose of re ceiving taxes from the 15th day of September, 1938, to the 15th day of April, 1939.
