ICE FAMINE PREVAILS
THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH

Mr.. Courtenay Bateman, manager
Of the Peoples Ice CompanNh has been
hard put to it for the last few days to
find sufficient ice to serve the local
demand. The intensely warm weather
of the past Few days has increased the
demand for ice to such an extent that
1t is practically impossible to bug ice
in Columbia, Charlotte, Augusta or
other cities. The shipment of per-
ishables to the Northern markets has
taken large volume of ice, accen-
tuating the shortage. Mr. Batcman
has been making strenuous efforts to
keep up with the demands of the To-
cal market.
Wor!1 on the factory being erected
by the Lexington Ice Company is
being rapidly pushed. Its early COM
pletion will soon solve the question so
FAR as Lexington is concerned.

The last legislature passed an act
vesting in n state board Of examiners.
to be cohscn by the state board Of
education, upon the nomination of the
state superintendent Of education, the
certification of all public school
teachers. The rules, methods and
standards OF certification are to ne
formulated by the state board of edu-
cation. The necessary appropriation
to pay the salaries of the members,
office expenses. and other charges
was unfortunately omitted from the
general appropriation act. This omis-
~ ~ made iinrossihio for the staae
board OF education to select the nsSy
board at it's meeting March 10. AT
that meeting the governor was unnni-
mously requested to secure from the
budget commission the necessary
money to finance the work. On June
this arrangement was concluded,
thereby enabling the state board of
education to carry forward the pro-
gram.
H. Is Dominick. superintendent of
Greer high school, and Miss Eliza
beth w. Mclean. elementary SUPER
visor Of the Sumter public schools,
were chosen members of the new
board. The third member is j. II.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
KEEPING AUTOMOBILE TAX

county with the approval of the county
road authorities for construction and
maintenance Of the highways that
have been approved and received, or
may hereafter be approved and re-
ceived into the state system: Provid-
ed, That If any county should not
have sufficient highways approved by
the State highway commission to ex-
haust such apportionment in the
maintenance Of highways, said county
shall have benefits Of any surplus
in tho construction or improvement
sn, such mannerand tadation as may be
provided by the State highway COM
mission"
In addition to this 80 per cent, of
license fees n two mill tax for the
maintenance of the State system roads
in each county is provided.
The contention of the Lexington
county authorities is that no roads in
tho State SYSTEM having so far been
constructed, and the money being so
urgently needed the highway commits
sion should turn over the $4,000
collected for the first quarter
The further contention is made that
practically all Of this money was due
and collected before the act of 1920 was
approved on the 10th day Of March,
and that therefore it comes under the
provisions of the act of 1917 which.
controlled previously.
1t is not known what steps the
county officials will take to secure
this money but they do not intend to
sit quietly and let the matter go by
default.

sssary If certain work Is to be done.
According to County Treasurer
L.eaphart the 80 per cent. of Lexing-
ton county license Fees collected by
the highway department for the first
quarter OF 1920 amounts to S10,173.S0.
This is according to statement made

is this money which the county au-

of the county who called to inquire
into the matter the commission pro-
posed to withhold.
Without having direct communica-
ton with the highway department our
understanding of their position is that
under the act of 1920 the legislature
set aside 80 per cent. Of the funds
arising from auto licenses for main
tanning roads already constructed in
the various counties of the State.

TO CORRECT INSPIRING

Sometimes misfiring of your engine may not be due to faulty spark plug, leaky valve or broken piston rings. If your intake manifold is struck by cold air that will cause the misfiring as will the other more obvious causes. In this case No. ? cylinder will be the one at fault, because the cold air will chill the front side of the intake manifold at the first branch, thus condensing the mixture and carrying the liquid into the combustion chamber of No. 2.
 To correct this, cut out piece of old tin large enough to cover the front branch of the intake manifold. Punch a hole through the tin, remove the first manifold clamp, slip the tin over the stud, bend it around so as to pro- tect the manifold from the cold air coming from the fan and keep it warm with air from the exhaust manifold, and tighten the clamp.

WATCH YOUR ENGINE

When your engine misses, severeal parts of your car are being subjected to injurious strains. The gears are liable to chip or even break, due to the sudden pulls on the teeth when a cyl finder misses and the engine momen- tarily slows down until the next cylin- der fires. It's hop and jump pro- cess, with the result that strained vibration occurs and the burden falls upon the gears. The differential also suffers, and so do other parts of the car. To prevent undue wear. in such case. tue car should immediately be repaired.

FOLLOW THIS TEST
 TO KEEP CAR RIGHT

NEW YORK, Aprtl 3.-StudentS at the auto school of the West Side Y. NJ. c. A. here are not considered gradu- ates before they know thoroughly the various ways to test an automobile and be certain it Is in good running order. A concise table has been pre- pared by the instructors, which would be of good use not only to the pupils but to every motorist in the country. Here is the course to follow, as pre- sented at this Y:
 i. Gasoline
 Is tank full?
 Are pipes clean?
 Is carbureter clean?
 If car5uretor needs adjusting, do it, otherwise leave it alone. Does manifold leak?
 2. Compression
 To test: Open all petcocks except on cylinder to be tested
 Crank engine, noticing how strong compression is on each cylinder in turn.
 You must turn the crank over twice for each cylinder.
 3. Ignition
 A-Test for sparks by taking wire off any plug, hold wire about 1s inch from plug; crank engine with switch on. Spark should jump to plug. Make sure ahOlIt switch heinz on for test B-Are batteries run down? Does vibrator Gf any) buzz? Is timer clean Does timer rotor make good contact? C-Are any wires loose, burnt, wet broken or short-circuited? Are spark plugs clean and point 1-50 inch apart !? D-Does magnito armature revolve? Is safety spark gap clean? Are inter rupter points clean and adjusted right? Do all brushes make good con- tact? Is distributor clean? Is dis tributor rotor loose, broken or making g poor contact?
 E-Check all magneto wires as per e"
 Note-Loose wires and terminals neglected batteries and dirty gasoline cause much trouble. The above covers everything needed to start a gasoline engine. To keep it running, cooling, fabrication and a free exhaust are ne cessary.

! he Cuuout Helps

That much-abused cutout may yet be saving to you. It's a barometer for the kind of fuel mixture you have in your machine. By running the en- zine after dark and throwing on the cutout, the flames issuing from it will tell the condition of the mixture. If the flame is blue ar cclorless the mix rure is correct. A red flaIne shows you are using too much gasoline, while a yellow flame shows there is too much air in the mixture.
