The Fuel oil Situation.

gard to tho offAr made by the Stand
ard OIL Company OF Indiana propos-
\ ing to take n million and half bar
rels of fuel oil every 90 days, de-
livered at the pump station near
Yale. that this matter 'is being given
careful consideration by commit
tee of refiners and until, II is ready
TO report there IL nothing that can
be said on the subject ono way or
the other" and MIR. Schock knows
what no is talking about. From
other sources II II learned that the
offer has had n beneficial effect on
tho market. which IL already much
steadier than before the offer was
made. Evidently rcflners are taking
new heart and either storing fuel oil
or holding II at n fair price.
Unless the refiner can get decent
gprice for fuel oil he must stop pay
ing premiums for crude and
8 premiums add to tho price at least
10 per cent, and in many instances
much more.

"NIonev spent for advertising IS a

was made BY R. H. McDuffie, presl-
dent of the Board of Trade. in speak
me at a conference Of the citizens OF
Asheville, and to back it up. the board
of trade is beginning a series OF ad-
vertisements to show the people the
value of concerted and coordinate ac-
tion through a central organization
for the upbu;lding Of Asheville. Mr..
NcDufie stated that he had person
allv checked up a large number OF
prominent citizens who are investing
money here in large amounts as dl-
rectlv the result Of Ashville adVer-
tising through the board Of trade ana
follow up letters and information.
"The fact" he continued, that
Asheyille has entertained large num-
hers of visitors not only during the
summer season but through the win
ter and spring as we'll for a number
of wears and that the present season
has been the greatest that Asheville
has ever had, certainly indicates that
advertising city is of even greater
Importance than advertising a busl-
ness, because the business itself can
not prosper unless there are large
numbers of people to purchase the
goods and wares
NJ. A. Erskine, chairman OF the
finance committee of the board OF
trade, stated that he believed that
every dollar spent through the board
of trade in advertising and develop
ment work, that 500 came in to
Asheville for distribution among the
hotels, boarding houses, business and
professional men and also called at
tention to the fact that most prosper
Gus cities in the country anywhere are

KILLED BY TRANIPER.
Gin Machinery Crushes Martin Garvin
in BarnweIl County.

Barnwell, Sept. Perhaps the
first gin accident of the season in
Barnwell county occurred at Jum-
per's gin, near Elko, when Martin
Garvin, the oldest son of F. 0. Car
vim. was instantly killed while operat-
ing an automatic tramper. In some
manner his head was caught beneath
the tramper and his skull crushed.
AS the tramper descended upon him,
the young man called for help, but
other employees in the gin were un-
able to stop the machinery before
Garvin was killed. His body was
laid to rest in the cemetery at Mt.
Beulah Baptist church, of which he
was a member, his pastor, the Rev.
]. D. Peacock, conducting the funeral
services.
Another accident occurred Satur-
day at Ashleigh station, few miles
from here, when a negro had his
hand badly injured in the saws of a
gin.
