~ highest significance to the mo-
Y J torist is the fact that during
those times when the demands for
gasoline have been so great as to threaten
positive famines, Red Crown, the high
grade motor gasoline manufactured by
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana),
maintained its standard of quality in
the face of every difficulty. =.
Impartial tests made on authority of the
Government proved Red Crown sur
passed the specifications set by the Gov
eminent for its requirements of motor
gasoline. These facts indicate the ideals
of service which animate the activities
of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
in every department of its business.
To maintain the quality of a product
when the demand is normal is a general
practice. 1t is when demand is pressing
and the supply is low that insistence
upon maintained quality is true meas
ure of manufacturers integrity.
To maintain the quality of each product at the
point set by the technical staff is an outstanding
characteristic of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana(. Red Crown is good example.
Another is Fortnite longtime burner oil. This
product is used in railway signal lamps. These
signals are often located at points remote from
human habitation. For public safety their un-
interrupted service is of the utmost importance.
1t is essential that the oil shall burn with clear
bright fame for days at time without attention.
During the blizzard of January, 1918, lamps
filled with Fortnite, located high up in the Rocky
Mountains, burned night and day during the
ten days that traffic was tied up, and at the end
of that period they were giving perfect service
1t is only by multiplying such records of quality
and integrity of manufacture over long period
of years that the reader can grasp the degree
of public confidence enjoyed by Standard Oil
Company Qndiana). +. 49,

Mr.. Penrose's speech was given
over $Iargely to explanation of tech
nical: provisions of the bill, although
he submitted estimates of govern
ment' actuaries showing that tariff
items in the bill would produce ap-
proximately s1o5,ooo,oOo in the six
months the law would be effective.
He added that the amount was S45,-

ceived from the same sources under
the present tariff laws.
The senate recessed tonight in or
der that debate on the tariff measure
might be taken up by priority when

Penrose said he then would attempt

As you probably know, at a con-
ference held in Columbia, S. c., of
representatives of practically every
interested community in South Caro-
lima, an organization was formed un-
der the name of the Telephone Sub
scribers association to make a fight
against the recent increase of tele-
phone rates and also against the dis
continuance of the so-called "free"
telephone service.
DR.. Geo. B. Cromer, Eugene S.
Blease, and VIM S. Matthews attend
ed the conference in Columbia and
carefully considered the information
presented there 1t was and is still
the opinion of all present at this
meeting that if the question is prop
erly presented to the railroad COM
mission rehearing will be granted.
Also they believe there is reason
able chance to get the railroad COM
mission upon a rehearing to revoke
the order by which the rates were
increased and the so-called "free ser
vice" discontinued. At the same time
it is useless to attempt to do any
thing without money enough to en-
ploy auditors, engineering experts
and any other experts it may be desir-
able to have to aid committee to OBJ
tain the facts and present them to the
railroad commission.
Therefore, the first step in the
fight is to raise about s25, 900 for ex-
penses which will be expended under
the direction of the executive COM
mittee of the Telephone Subscribers
association.
Mr.. A. L. w. Virgins, who is to
lead the fight for the telephone sub
scribers, is a business man of unusual
ability and high character and was
the unanimous choice of the confer
ence
Each telephone subscriber in the
state is to be asked for not less than
one dollar but you are expected to
subscribe more than one dollar if you
can possibly do so.
1t is useless for us to "cuss" the
telephone company or the railroad
commission but the oaly sensible
thing to do is to make fair, thor
ough and strong fight for what we be-
Eeve to be just and reasonable de-
mands.
Very truly yours,

DEMOCRATS FIGHT
EMERGENCY TARIFF
Leaders in Senate Continue Attack
on Measure as Anti-Dumping
Bill

Washington, May 5.-Democratlc
leaders in the senate continued their
attack on the emergency tariff and
anti-dumping bill today, although
friends of the measure, headed by
Chairman Penrose of the finance COM
nlittee, fought them at every point.
Mr., Penrose delivered an hours
speech, his first extended remarks in
neraly two years, in support of the
measure.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, charged the Republicans
with attempting to transfer "a lot
of commodities from the free to the
dutiable list" by use of the anti
dumping clause and argued that these
provisions were certain to prove a
handicap instead of relief to agrl-
culture.
"Some benefit will inure to the
farmers through the tariff items IN
the BILL" Mr.. Simmons said, "but
those benefits will be absorbed many,
MANY times over by the burdens
which will be added to the already
burdened backs of the farmers.
The senator referred to the anti
dumping provisions later as making
the manufacturing interests beneh-
ciaries of the bill He said he saw
no reason for inserting ant!-dump-
ing provisions unless somebody was
going to be benefited, since Senator
McCumber, Republican, North Da'
kota, had informed the senate that
ithe provisions would do ''little good
land could do no harm"
Mr.. Simmons predicted clash be-
tween the senate and the house Wher
the measure goes to conference Re
publican leaders in the house, he SAID
were "wedded" to the antl-dumplng
and currency conversion plans carried
in the bill as passed by the house bu
/ stricken out by the committee in tn
senate, and he added that he believed
the house would compel the senate t
write them in the bill again.

PROPOSING TO FIGHT
INCREASED TELEPHONE RATES
Newberry, S. c.,

May 9, 1921.
Telephone Subscribers of Newberry
County:
Your attention is invited to the de-
cision of our committee in our re-
Gently organized state association.
This state organization, as you
knowf was perfected on Tues
day, April 26th, at a meeting of some
100 delegates representing large
number of localities who have taken
an active interest in opposing the re-
cent 20 per cent rate increase by the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph company, and the disconti1fu-
ance by this company of certain toll
calls in certain districts, of which this
county is one..
Our official delegates to this meet
ing report that the meeting was the
most businesslike that they had ever
had the pleasure "of attending and
that the organization is particularly
fortunate in having persuaded man
of, Mr.. Virgins ability to accept the
leadership of the new organization.
It was determined among other
things, according to our information,
that the South Carolina Railroad COM
mission had not had an audit made IN
South Carolina prior to the hearing
at which they granted the increase.
Undoubtedly the commission did not
have the funds available for an audit
but the consensus Of opinion among
local telephone subscribers is that the
commission most certainly. could not
render fair decision without such
an audit. Our delegates report that
sufficient facts were brought out at
the meeting to justify the expense
of an audit to be prorated among the
telephone subscribers of the state.
We are therefore appealing to ev-
cry telephone subscriber in Newberry
county, and other counties are work
ing along the same lines, to remit at
their very earliest convenience at
least the sum of one dollar for the
purpose of undertaking this very i'm
portant matter of presenting such
facts to the commission Of nature
that will undoubtedly convince them
that the present rates should be re-
duced and service restored to- the
basis existing prior to. the effective
date of their recent ruling.
This matter is of the gfeatest i'm
portance and in order to successfully
put the campaign across we want to
urge that you send in your subscrip-
ton in'the amount Of one dollar or
more to the Newberry County Tele-
phone Subscribers association, care

Of Personages In the Public Eye

1SO pounds, and all that sort Of thing,
while Elihu Root, who occupied the
same post several years back, is slight
Of figure.
Mr.. Root, however, while on an Of
fetal trip to South America, like the
one Mr.. Colby has just been making,
set standard for yigor which will make
the latter look we'll to his laurels. The
situation arose in this way:
There are certain differences in the
man:Iers and customs Of the people Of
the United States and those Of Latin
America. Diplomacy must, of course,
pay much respect to the amenities and
those differences must be borne in mind.
1t therefore happened that when Mr..
Root was on his way TO the South there
went with him one who was so thor
oughly schooled in Latin American Gus
toms as to guarantee the secretary
against making mistakes.
We, at home, are great handshakers
