NUMBER FIRE ALARM BOXES
CONVENIENTLY ARRANGED

Hal Kohn, the enterprising "New
Book Store" owner, is having made
on our press a very necessary and
valuable list of the fire alarm boxes
of our city. Hal will distribute these
lists all over the city and they are
made in such size that they will be
easily kept near the phone and the
numbers are listed so that there Will
be no confusion in locating your own
box number. Just here, it will not
be amiss to remind everyone in New
berry to learn what fire alarm box is
near their home and what number is
the ring, for suppose you awake some
night and hear the fire bell ringing
and the fire may be next door to your
home and unless you know your ring
you will not be prepared to meet the
emergency which may arise. Keep
the list convenient and know your
ring. In case of fire call 113.

for their own yard the town would be
greatly beautified.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE

To the Voters of Newberry County:
AS candidate for the unexpired
term for the legislature, l have been
asked for my platform, if elected. /
candidly give it here, to wit:
I am against any and all high SAL
aries of state and county officers;
against all high appropriations.
If you want the now fearful ex-
penses of the sheriff's Office, don't
vote for me; if you want the high
salary of the superintendent of edu-
cation, don't vote for me; if you want
the useless and high salaried Office Of
rural policeman, don't vote for me;
if you want the useless Office of farm
demonstrator, don't vote for me; if
you want the useless office of canning
demonstrator, don't vote for me; if
you want high appropriations for
Clemson college, Winthrop college,
South Carolina college, Charleston
college, Negro college, don't vote for
me; if you want the useless and fear
full salaried office of health unit, don't
vote for me; if you want the useless
office of health clinic, don't vote for
me; if you want the coming legisla-
ture to vote referendum for the con-
templated fifty million dollars bond
issue, don't vote for me.
I have an idea that Clemson col
lege, Winthrop college and South
Carolina college should either be CIV
en- or sold to those grand old Chris
tians, the Baptists, Presbyterian and
Methodists, and let them be made de-
nominational institutions.
Your Obedient Servant,
