W'l inh it Oi/erl r ¥ THESE DAYS of high fi nance, high taxes and high indebtedness, we talk of bil lions as if they were thousands. We wonder if many of us real ize just how much a billion dollars is. Maybe the figures below will give us a better conception. A billion one - dollar bills would completely cover 24,531 acres of land, or a strip ap proximately four miles wide and ten miles long. A billion silver dollars, laid flat with edges touching, would pave a four-lane highway from Co lumbia to New Orleans, or from Charleston to New York. To pay the national debt of approximately 275 billion dol lars would require enough dol lar bills to cover a third of the state of South Carolina, or a sufficient number of silver dol lars to pave a four-lane high way seven times around the earth, with enough left over to pave another such road from the North to the South Pole. Just how long it will take^p pay that debt is an ei different jrfoblem. CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this means of thanking our many friends in and around Newberry for making it possible for us to receive the beautiful television set, given by a local department store.
