SCARCITY OF CARS
AND TIRES IN CITY
SOME OF DEALERS HAVE ORDERS
AHEAD FOR MANY OF THE
POPULAR MAKES.

Although in some respects they are
doing the largest business that they
have ever done the auto dealers in Co
lumbia are laboring under difficulties
in some lines. They cannot begin to
fill the orders for some of the popu-
lar cars. They have ordered booked
ahead in some instances for months
the factories having reduced output
because of the war being unable to
meet the demands.
The same difficulty is being exper-
fenced in filling orders for popular
brands of tires. 1t sometimes requires
weeks to fill a tire order and stocks
of tires on hand have never been so
depleted OF cOurst there are tires to
be had all the time, but the shortage
applies to some sizes of some of the
best known and most popular of the
makes. 1t is hardly probable that
some of these difficulties will van
ish as the war progresses. However,
the number of cars have so increased
in the county that all of the garages
have an abundance of business.

COLUMBIA DISTRICT
HAS FURNISHED rs
GOVERNMENT MEN
SHIPMENT OF 80 CARPENTERS
AND LABoRERS MADE FROM
LOCAL OFFICE.
DISTRICT QUOTA IS 3o8
Nine Counties Expected to Furnish
That Many Men for Essential War
Work--in Six Weeks-Agents in the
Field Seeking Men.

In the drive to secure $500 work
men for the government powder plant
at Hadleys Bend near Nashville, the
U. S. Employment service district
with headquarters In Columbia is
making good showing, about rs men
having already been shipped in the
first week of the six weeks campaign.
Thirty-three men were shipped mon
day, most of them being laborers, but
some were carpenters and other skill
ed workmep. This district composed
of nine counties, Maury, Marshal,
Giles, Lincoln, Hickman, Lewis, Law
renee, Perry and Wayne, has been
asked to supply sos men in six weeks.
Agents of the employment service are
in the field looking for men with au-
thority to ask them to leave non-es-
sential industries to engage in essen
tial government industries. Work.
men will not be taken from essential
industries, so classified by the gov
eminent.
James NJ Dedman, district agent of
the employment service stated this
morning that shipments of workmel
will be made regularly by his office
during the next six weeks on Mondays
and Thursdays. Men who are con-
templating entering government work
should be present on those days.
Wages of laborers at the powder
plant have been increased from $3.50
a day to $685. day, and the pay OF
carpenters has been increased from
! 55 to 60 cents an hour.
A special agent of the DUPONT Pow
der company has been stationed at
the local office to assist in securing
workmen for the great industry. A
clean sweep of the entire district
must be made if the required quota of
sos men is secured in the six weeks
allotted.
Men who are not contemplating mil
itary service could render no higher
service to their country than to en-
gage in other government work,
necessary work that must be done If
the armies overseas are to be sup
piled with the munitions with Which

WANT RITZ TO RUN
Believe He Is Proper Candidate of
Republicans For Assembly.
gu ensc41I C0rresuoudenT.

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. IA meeting
of the Republican General Committee
of the county of Richmond has been
called for tonight at the Curtis Ly-
ceum, st. George. for the purpose of
designating candidates to be voted for
at the coming fall primary.
There is to be designated a candi-
date for congress-, sheriff, justice of
the supreme court, state senate and
assemblymen from each of the two
districts of the county.
Former Borough President George
Cromwell is the present senator repre-
senting the twenty-third senatorial
district that includes Richmond and
Rockland counties. He is believed to
be the likely candidate for that Office
again this fall.
This end of the island will be inter
ested in the selection of n candidate
for assembly from the second district.
Stuart L. Ritz, of Tottenv!ile. was the
candidate last year and his friends be-
lieve that the run ne made at that
time in the face Of 50 many odds en-
titles him to a place on the ticket
again this year.
Friends of Mr.. Ritz are urging upon
him to make the run again. They be-
lieve that he can be elected and will
probably present his name at the
meeting tonight. H. E. Seesellberg, a
Democrat, is the present assembly
zaan from this district. He has not as
yet been red~esignated by the Demo-
cratic organization.
