PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1958 1218 College Street NEWBERRY. S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY O. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937 at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in ad vance; six months, $1.25. COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR “The equal protection of the law.” This is an old rule of our jurisprudence, but it is not practiced or honored today. The Constitution of the United States did not contemplate the Nation engaging in business, so it forbids the States to deny the equal protection of the law. Even so how do we explain such things as the graduated income tax? Why should one man pay twenty per cent and his neighbor fifty or ninety per cent? This is one of the European schemes our Congress im ported and foisted on us. It is utterly un-American and un fair. If one man earns $10,000 a year why should he pay a tax of 20 per cent while his neighbor who earns $100,000 may pay 50 % or much more? If both paid 20% the first would pay $2000 and the second $20,000. Isn’t that just? Do we tax one man'fifty mills on a farm worth $10,000 and his neigh bor a hundred mills on a farm of $100,000? Are we trying to penalize earnings? If no man in South Carolina had more than $10,000 a year the business of the State would dry up -- or never begin for lack of capital. The money invested is somebody’s savings. In order to save you must have a surplus over and above the bread and meat pro gram. I’ve been reading about drugs and the popularity of As pirin. Most of us remember the use of Aspirin during the first epidemic of “flu”. “Over the past few years, a steady stream of dramatic new preparations has dominated the news of the drug in dustry; Such products as oral insulin, the tranquilizers, and the anti-coagulant drugs sold only on a doctor’s prescrip tion - not only have widespread medical acclaim, but also in most cases have brought consderable prosperity to their makers. At the same time, however, these marvels of the test tube have tended to overshadow an equally significant trend - the continued popularity of old-line, home remedies. Top selling category of all is vitamin concentrates. Then come cough and cold items and aspirin compounds, in that order. Combined, these three groups account for more than Prosperity News MRS. B. T.

All mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, sis ters and brothers, grandmas and grandpas, and cousins and friends are urged to come. Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Weldon have moved to 520 Floyd St. to make their home. half of the total over-the-counter drug volume. A wide var iety of laxatives and cathartics, tonics, salves, liminents, rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, antiseptics, stomach sweet eners, suntan lotion, eye washes and lip protectors make up the balance. Medicine is virtually as old as civilization itself, and so is the use of drugs. Many ancient herbs, barks and roots event ually become the basis for a wide variety of home remedies and ‘patent medicines’. In the early 1800’s, such products including a number of alleged ‘cureall’ tonics, as well as pro ducts of real merit - were sold mainly through medicine shows. The development of aspirin is fairly typical of the pat tern for any proprietary drugs. Salicylic acid, the parent of aspirin, is contained in the bark, fruit and leaves of several plants, shrubs and trees, which have been employed to re lieve human ills for centuries. First identified as a reliever of rheumatic pains early in the 19th century, salicylic acid was isolated in 1838; aspirin itself was developed in the early 1850’s though it failed to take hold until after the turn of the century. At that time, aspirin established itself as an exceptionally safe and versatile drug, not only to re lieve pain but also to reduce fever and combat rheumatism. Today, aspirin ranks as the most widely used drug in his tory. Its sales will exceed $30 million this year at the manu facturer’s level or about 5% of the total volume of propriet- tary drugs. Domestic consumption alone now exceeds 17 million pounds a year — more than four times the pre-war level. This is equivalent to 65 million five-grain tablets 'every 24 hours. In the first half of this year, when the chemical industry was in the doldrums and sales of virtually all major lines were running sharply below year-earlier levels, aspirin was one of the few products - if not the only one -- which ran ahead of a year ago.” Nothing is said of Syrup of Squills and C C Pills; nor of Calomel, ipecac and Soda; nor, indeed do we remember Blue Mass, Portafillin and Rhubarb. Perchance you’ve heard grandpa speak of Castor Oil. These are among the treasured delights of memory, surely. When the men were men that’s what they “took”. Calhoun Life Buys Guaranty Insurance Co. Calhoun Life Insurance Co. will acquire the Guaranty Insurance Co., Calhoun Executive Commit tee Chairman Edwin H. Cooper has announced. Purchase of all common stock and assets of the Guaranty Com pany was approved at a special meeting of Calhoun Life stock holders Nov. 6. The charter of Guaranty permits it to sell var ious forms of insurance other than life insurance. The move was made with an eye to the future and is in line with a nationwide trend toward multiple line insurance business, President Robert Robert H. Lovvorn told the stockholders. Acquisition of the Guaranty Company, a transaction approved by the South Carolina Insurance Commissioner, will mean greater efficiency and convenience in serv ing Calhoun Life clients, particul arly in the field of Credit Fire In surance, stockholders were also informed. Department executives who ad dressed the meeting told of sub stantial increases in all phases of Calhoun Life’s business in the past year, and forecast continued healthy growth in 1959.
