"Elementary, My Dear Watson”
Yesterday’s property values were much lower than to
day’s. And yesterday’s insurance policy is inadequate
for rebuilding at today’s costs. This fact is so simple
and elementary, that it needs no further explanation.
Make your insurance adequate to repay losses at to
day’s high values. Don’t put it off. Do it today. Call
us!

WILLIAM ANDREW CROMER
William Andrew Cromer, 64,
died late Sunday afternoon at

Garmany section of Newberry
county. He had been in declin
ing health several years. He
was a son of the late David and
Sally Elizabeth Suber Cromer.

Jobie Smith, all of Newberry;
A DANGEROUS HOBBY
COLUMBUS, Ga.—An intermediate frame hand in the card room of
the Eagle and Phenix textile mill here, Charles Tanton, 35, has adopted
diving as a hobby ... a hobby. In pursuit of which he has experienced
many a thrill.
A diver in Columbus may seem
as necessary as a sun lamp in the
desert but Tanton, who in his spare
. time fathoms the bottom of the
: silt-saturated Chattahoochee river,
finds his talent is not_ wasted in
this inland area.
He considers the muddy wa*ers,
tricky undercurrent and treacher-
! ous bottom of the Chattahoochee a
more worthy opponent than the
deep blue sea. Having traveled its
bottom for many miles and re
trieved an average of four bodies
of drowning victims a y^ar for the
past 15 years from the river, Tan
ton should know whereof he speaks
when he says “it takes some tall
fighting” to stay beneath the sur
face of the river. The body scars
he carries would seem to provide
mute testimony to his words. Tan
ton says he does well to stay under
the Chattahoochee for sixty min
utes while he has wandered about
the ocean floor for many hours
without trouble.
Using only a diver’s helmet
weighing 90 pounds, Tanton. whose
father was drowned in the river
when the diver was two years old,
doesn’t charge any set fee for his
service.
“I don't charge anything—just
what folks can afford,” he said.
“Sometimes 1 get $100 and some
times 1 get a few bucks. I’d just
as soon help people first and let
them pay what they can after.”
He learned the art of diving
when he was 14 at Daytona Beach,
Fla. where he spent many hours
“awake in the deep" hunting for
giant turtles. "All my life it seems
like I have loved to be around
water,” Tanton observes in ex
plaining his seemingly unenviable
extra curricular activity.
Thomas H. Cromer, Columbia;
Ernest Cromer and Mrs. J. W.
Adams, Charleston; his step
mother, Mrs. Lillie Cromer; four
brothers, H. E. and A. H. Cromer,

mer, Newberry; two half-broth
ers, Ernest and Hayne Cromer,
Newberry; two half - sisters,
Misses Sarah and Edna Cromer,
Newberry.
Funeral serices were conducted
at Lebanon church Monday at
four o’clock by Rev. K. H. Hall.
Burial followed in the church
