of spaces by several local firms for the
snow next month. IN the meantime

deavoring to close agencies here in order
that they may be represented in the eX-

Storing Auto Tires.

Tire service bureaus are now beginning
to consider the approach of winter, and
to give out sage advice concerning the
care that tires should receive during
their winters rest. One bureau states
that it is perfectly easy to store away
the tires with which car is fitted and
find them in the spring as good as ever.
The way to do it is to remove them from
the wheels, wash thoroughly with soap
and then store in dark place where the
temperature is as near 80 degrees as pos
sible. If the tires are to remain on the
wheels the latter should be lacked up and
the tires debated to a pressure of about
five pounds If the wheels are not lacked
up the tires must be kept hard and the
car moved occasionally to present new
parts of the tires to the floor.

used.

covered with MASSIVE scenic paintings of
picturesque views taken in all parts of

panels showing views to be seen along

Ask the Laurens people. They know
more about it than anybody else At
least they have more Of it-Newherry
Herald News. An all-day singing
is just what the word implies, an all
day singing, something like the old
time preaching in the country, where
people came from long distances, to
have services in the morning, dinner
on the lawn around the house of wor-
ship and services again in the after
noon. At the all-day singing. the
people come from miles around. bring
ing well filled baskets" prepared to
stay all day. A song service is held
in the morning followed by the mid
day meal. After dinner the singing is
resumed until the time comes to 20
home, The singing is under the direc-
ton OF a regularly elected choir lead
er, who possibly will sing a solo or
prepare program of solos, duets,
nuartets. etc. The music consists en-
tirely of sacred songs, sung in the
good old-fashioned way with the spirit
and religious fervor characteristic of
fervid, devout people. While the Gus
tom might not be peculiar to this sec
ton, ii seems to be more common
here than elsewhere. possibly because
OF the unusually sociable inclination
of the people and their natural love
for music derived from the cultivation
Of the musical instinct since the early
settlement of the county.
