encouragement that our students are
receiving at the hands of our super-
intendent and faculty along this line
is worthy of much praise. This kind
of training emphasizes the beautiful
and refined in nature and just so. long
as this.trend of thought enriches the
mind of the pupil, he is building for
real manhood and womanhood. We
believe that we can express the senti-
/,ment of this community one hundred
per cent, when we say that we are
sincere in expressing our appreciation
forthis -splendid entertainment^ and
we hope that Mr. Owen and his effi-
cient faculty, the student body and
those who assisted", will <be slightly
recompensed in knowing this.

''How did people spond their spare

asked. Of course our spare time was
spent just as pleasant and just as
"profitable, then as it does, now, taking
into consideration the time that has
elapsed. Time has a great deal to do
with things these days, and it doesn't
lake what yoy would call a span of
years for things to happen. We
might alSo ask. the question "How did
hy/e ever get anywhere before the au-
, tomobile?'* And twenty years from
now people may be expressing great
surprise with the patience exhibited
^in-slow traveling during the time of

dency in the cotton gambling farmer.
Harry D. Calhoun, president of the
South Carolina Bankers' Association,
sounds the keynote in' the word h^is
sending all along the line in his state.
He says:
" 'In my judgementy the man who
plants cotton with the expectation of
getting more than 17c a pound, is a
mere speculator. Our first effort in
South Carolina should be -to—grow
food and feed sufficient for all our
needs. If we have food and feed,
whatever we get for our cotton can
be used to pay debts and buy com-
forts.'

. During the last four years, while
the Chevrolet Motor Company was in-
creasing its domestic and Canadian
business 100 per cent, it was expand-
ing abroad at the rate of more than
700 per cent.
Records , of the General Motors Ex-
port corporation show Chevrolet sales
in foreign countries during the last,
four years were as follows:
YeSr pass, cars tracks total
1922 .' 11,588 ; 11,588
1923 ,' 18,773 3,021 21,794
1924 22,433 6,203 28,636
1925 .. 63,552 17,971 81,523
The largest stride was made in 1925
Chevrolet's record year, when the for-
eign business was nearly: .triple that
of 1924. Sales of trucks edmprised
an even larger proportion of the for-
eign business because the fifgures in
the truckfcolumn of the above chart
represent only the one-ton Utility tx-
press truck chassis, the smaller half-
ton truck chassis being included in
the passenger car totals.
- The low operating cost of the
Chevrolet and its relatively moderate
foreign tax rate are regarded by
iCompany- "officials as being largely
responsible for. its increasing popu-
larity abroad where expensive gaso-
line and—high taxes are serious bur-
It business the company now has an ex-
port assembling plant, at Bloomfield,
"N/J./'three ; Europe^ asaembling
plants at London, Copenhagen and
Aptwerp, besides receiving plants at ;
Barcelona and Hamburg Where paiti-
ally-assembled- cars are completed.
Part of the product of the Chevrolet
plant at Oshawa near Toronto, Ont.,
also is sent abroad. • *
