prices and honest representation to
the point of pointing out blemishes or
defects which may escape the notice
of the prospective purchaser. Going
back over the career of G. w. Jacobs
establishment since its inception this
principle of reliability is in evidence
during every day of its history, and 1t
explains fully and satisfactorily the
reason for his success, always estimat-
ing popular confidence at its true
worth and as being essential to prog
ress in all trade relations. Today Mr..
Jacobs conducts one of the best livery
establishments in this section, main
tanning a stable of stylish road horses
and buggies and vehicles Of all kinds
to supply all demands of the local and
travelling public for f1rst-class livery
accommodations. In his several build
ings are accommodations for two hun
dred animals. Mr.. Jacobs buys and
ships to Newberry several carloads of
mules annually. He is therefore we'll
known and thoroughly established at
the original sources Of supply and this
fact surrounds him with advantages
which enable him to maintain for pat
rons the best possible market condi-
tons, for he purchases only such ami
mails as are adapted to the needs OF
home people and his experience has
qualified him we'll in knowledge of
these needs. The result is at once
apparent in the variety of weights,
ages and qualities, and prices Of horses
and mules that can always be found in
his stables, thus enabling a patron to
make a suitable selection at a salts
factory figure. AS showing the mag
nitude of the business done by Mr.. ia
cobs it can be stated that he raises all
of the feed for his stock, having nearly
eight hundred acres under cultivation
in Newberry and Lexington counties,
about seven hundred acres Of which hGI
owns. He also owns considerable real
estate in the city of Newberry, among
his holdings being an entire block be-
tween Caldwell and College streets in
front of the new court house. From
the above it will be seen that the mo-
tive uppermost in the conduct of the
business is to render an honest equl-
valent in the livery department by a
reliable service and in the sales de-
partment by such animals as measure
up to the highest standards. Such a.
motive is always appreciated, and as
a consequence a select, representative
and constantly growing patronage has
been built up through this entire sec
ton. This business was established
seven years ago and has f1ourished un-
til Mr.. Jacobs has, by hustling and re-
liable methods, built up business Sec
ond to none in the country.

began operations in 1904. The man
Who has ged devel0p such an in
dustry, who has risked his capital in
oil mills, and who is always working
to further deveop the industry must
have credit for what he las done.
Likewise, the cotton grower is in
dispensable to the oil mill owner. He
must supply the mill with seed or the
mil can not exist. He mast bay iron

the oil mill nust TAIL to he i,roitanIe.
Thus it is clearly, seen that each Is
dependent upon the other and as this
is one industry which the South con-
trolls, each should work with the other
to reach the highest results.
The cotton-grcwer has been slow
to recognize the intrinsic value OF
what he produces, and by taking this
stand he has stood in the way of his
own prosperity. In the past he seem
ed more ready to feed his stock from
Western cribs than from his own cot
ton field, thus sending away from home
money which should be kept in the
South.
The time has come, however, when
the more intelligent class of cotton
growers are waking up to the mis-
take they have been making They are
beginning to see that in cotton seed
meal and hulls they have an ideal
feed, and in cotton seed meal they
get an ideal fertilizer for all crops.
In 1907 an ice plant was added to
the equipment and today the Farmers
Oil Mill supplies ice to the entire city,
their wagons making daily trips to
the homes and places of business.
Last year fertilizer mixing machinery
was added and today the company is
manufacturing one Of the best ferti-
lizers on the market, and one which
is favored by large number Of far
mers for the results they have secur-
ed.

GEORGE C. HIPP.
General Merchandising Farm
Implements, Groceries and Staple
Dry Goods

Briefly stated, George c. Hipp car
ries in stock everything for the farm,
giving special attention to the needs
of the farmer for supplies in the field,
in the home, and as a horseowner. So
that the stock equipment, which has
been selected from the mills and fac
tories of the leading manufacturers
the country over, contains full and Sc
lect assortments of groceries, staple
dry goods, harness and horse goods,
buggies, farm implements and fertiliZ-
ers. All the above stocks occupy a
two-story building at No. 1904 Main
street, and containing 1000 feet of
floor space.
AS dealers in fertilizers this concern
supplies the demands Of patrons with
goods of established merit and reputa-
ton, such as the productions of the
F. S. Royster Guano company and the
Columbia Guano company brands, all
of which have been selected because
of their successful results in enriching
the soil and in nourishing the plant
life of the money crops of this particu-
lar section. Then there are the pro-
ductions of the Columbia Carriage
company, of Hamilton, Ohio, in bug
gies; standard farm implements and
]. Allen Smiths Roller King flour,
which Mr.. Hipp handles in large guam
titles in this section. Standard goods
at standard prices prevail in every de-
partment, it being the sole aim of the
management to handle only product
ions of established merit, for these
alone guarantee satisfaction in price,
in quality and in durability.
This business began operations in
September, 1910, and since its incep-

by C. w. Jacobs, of being the home
and headquarters Of one of the lead
ing establishments in its line in this
section of the country. To the credit
of the owner of this concern it can be
said that the selling of horses has

principles, thereby fostering that sense

SOUTHERN COTTON OIL COMPANY.
L. w. Floyd, Manager.

There is no denying the fact that
the enterprises throughout the country
engaged in the production and refining
of cotton seed oil have accomplished
great results for the farmers by Great
ing a market for cotton seed, which
not many years ago was treated as re-
fuse and as of little or no value what
ever.
To Newberry the operation Of mill
by the Southern Cotton Oil Company
has been a valuable acquisition, for II
established increased market condl-
tions for the cotton seed OF this entire
section, and likewise became nearby
source of supply for hulls, meal and
for fertilizers which are compounds OF
the cotton seed and other plant nour-
isfing substances from which the very
best results in tobacco and cotto4 uul-
tivation have been secured. The Nc
berry mill of the Southern Oil Com
pany is what is termed three press
mill and occupies tract OF land on
the Southern railway, in the eastern
section of the town. The plant consists
OF several buildings, in all Of winch
a force of fifty men are employed
During recent years the Southern Cot
ton Oil company's high grade fertillz-
ers have increased rapidly in favor
among growers Of cotton and tobacco,
for farmers have learned to their cost
the folly of paying freights on goods
of doubtful value, when they can Sc
cure at home productions whose mer-
its have been thoroughly established
by actual crop tests, and whose use
means a saving Of money from every
possible standpoint.
These fertilizers are prepared under
different formulas that supply, to each
plant the greatest degree of nourish-
ment.
The manager of the Newberry mills
of the Southern Cotton Oil Company
is L. w. Floyd, director in the New
berry Savings Bank and the CONNER
cial Bank, who has been connected
with the plant in this capacity for
several years, during which time he
has become thoroughly identified with
| the interests of the community and IS

constantly directed to the upbulldlng
/ of the town in every way possible. Be

cooperation is effective and can al
ways be relied on.
