The Safest Investment
and The Handiest

What is it, the safest invest
mcnt that is most readily avail
able TO every man, woman and
child2
Huh, the savings bank ac-
c6unt2 You don't call that an
Investment, do you?
Most certainly and surely it
is, one of the very best. More
fortunes have been built on lit
tie savings accounts than on any
other form of investing. Of
course its yield is low, only 4
per cent interest in most towns
and cities, but it S safe. While it
Is building up, it is yielding a
little income and it gives the in
experienced investor all the time
necessary TO select higher yield
ing investments that ere trust
worthy.
To build up an income toward
financial independence, don't
wildcat. Put a part of your
earnings regularly into a savings
account and then, while it grows,
take your time to select honest,
tair-yielding investment secun-
ties, bought Of a dealer whom
you know is absolutely honest
and capable of judging securi-
lies.
The greatest advantage of
a savings account is not the fact
that you have money in the bank,
drawing 4 per cent, to be used
for emergencies, but what vast
Il more valuable to you is that
n 7Jding to the account you are
SCHOOLING yourself to save.
Saving is a habit-a good one
but a habit nevertheless. inst as
spending IS a habit.
Open a savings account in one
Of the Sumter county banks. 1t
VIII come in handy some time
and it teaches you thrift.
IL is not so much the amount
you make as 1T is the amount YOU
save that will keep the wolf
from the door and bring fnan-
cial independence later on in life.
Emergencies come to each Of
rs - times when ready cash

DIT RIAL S
Wasted Weeks

One Of the easiest methods of
killing legislation not wanted by
the powers that be" in the Leg
isIature is to delay it until the
latter part of the session, when
it then may be lost in the scram-
BILE of the past few days, or re-
tcrrcd to some committee con-
trol!ed wholly or in part by the
Speaker of House.
We wonder if that isn't one
Of the reasons for most of the
unnecessary delays we witness
each year when the Legislature
cOnyenes.
When the Legislature passed
the biennial sessions bill it add
ed ten days to the length of the
session, changing it from 50 to
90 days, When the Legislature
convened July 8 it had wasted
this additional time which was
provided to prevent a legislative
Jam on the last days Of the ses-
sion.
President Ennis of the Senate,
had had his committees ready
for some time. Speaker Neil
delayed announcing his commit
tees for two weeks. The delay
on the part Of the Speaker tied
the hands of the Legislature for
4 days. During that time the
State has paid her legislators in
salaries somewhere around $780,
GOO.
Less than 40 days remain in
which to transact the business of
the State. Three or four hundred
bills have been thrown into the
hopper. These had to wait on
committee appointments.
The rules fight in the House
made It necessary for the speak
er 10 get a line on every mem
Der before he made appoint
ments. Legislative jams are nee,
essary to the machine-owned
and controlled by Brown, Hold
er and NELL. The State may go
10 the devil. so long as the ma
chaire has its way.
Until Georgias 100 counties
get down to business and send
men Of brain and courage to the
Legislature and not political pin
heads and machire-controlled
hirelings, there's little hope of
pulling Georgia out of the mire
Of Incompetence that is today
Stacking Georgia.

run. The visitors were blanked for
two innings, but managed to score

singles, two doubles, and three free
tickets to first. This brought the
total up to nine runs. Holzmueller

A large bunch of loyal rooters
from Harrington followed their team
to Milford and made up the greater
part of the five hundred fans in at
tendance. The afternoon score would
indicate that much faster game
had<been played. Harrington pro-
ceeded to annex their second victory
for the day. They started the run
getting in the 1st inning-AndreWs
triple, and singles by Brown and
Masten netted them three more runs
in the 4th. Collision was twirling IN
his best form and allowed Milford
eight widely scattered hits. By
punching their hits in the End, 4th
and 5th frames, Milford managed to
squeeze over three runs, which was
three shy of being enough to win.
Anderson and Andrews starred at
the bat. Anderson had three singles
and Andrews two triples and one
single.
The score:
