WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7, 1922
THE COUNTRY MOVES ON

About nine men out Of ten, if you
ask them about the financial situa-
ton, will tell you that there is no
money in the country and that every
body is bankrupt. But the actions of
the people do not bear out the state
ments made. =. t,.E,..
For instance, it is ANNOUNCED by
the internal revenue. collector for
this district that the amount of mon
ey spent in South Carolina for the
present year theater. tickets is about
$4,000,000. That is more than half
the total assessment of property for
taxation in this county and about
one-seventieth part of all the proper
ty in the state, according to tax re-
turns. 1t will be hard we think to
convince unbiased minds that people
are experiencing the pinch of power
ty so long as they spend one dollar
OFT of every seventy on the movies
and on like attractions. Either the
country is not in as bad fix financial
ly as we are told or the people gen.
orally do not really realize just what
the situation is.
In Abbeville, people still turn out
to football games, or did; they are
still able to buy gas and oil for their,
automobiles; they play pool, get
shaved at the barber's, have their
shoes shined, give and attend pos
sum suppcrs and bridge parties, and
enjoy all kinds of luxuries which
were known only to the rich, and
very few of them, when the men of
the older generation were boys.
We believe that the times are
harder than most people realize. We
believe that it would be well were
a great many people brought face to
face with the. real situation. But we
are just as confident that the coun-
try will survive and that business
will 60 on and people will prosper
again. But in order to do so they
must learn some lessons of economy
which have for long time been for
gotten. Most of all they must learn
to live out of their own smokehouses
and away from the grocery mer-
chants as far as possible.
In saying the above, we, of course,
mean no reflection on the merchants
who have heretofore furnished the
farms: They have been good friends
to many people in the past, and if
conditions were the same as in the
past they would be glad to assist the
people on the farms again. The mer-
chants realize more than anybody
else that what we say is true, and we
have no doubt that every one of them
will join in our suggestion. The fact
is that farmers must learn to live at
home as much from the fact that the
merchants cannot longer do a sup
BY business as for any other reason.
Erse1re ERE will be plenty of room for the |
merchants but the day Of the "lien
merchant" as he has been called,
has passed.

proclamation setting the week OF

protection and the results to be OBJ

lie in various ways by interested par

called upon for some publicity. The
matter will be generally presented to

Further as TO BLACK
For Motor Tire Treads

From the beginning of the automobile
tire industry the treads of tires we're
made of compounds which when vul-
canized gave white or light gray
color. This type of compound was in
common e.throughout the industry
up to about the year 1912 or 1918,
when new compounding ingredient,
Jet black in color, appeared on the
market.
This new ingredient was first used
IN very small quantities in making up
the rubber compound and merely for
the purpose of producing a dark gray
or black color, with no thought of af-
tecting the durability or wearing quali-
ties OF the tread.
I'm our experiments" says a bull
letin of the United States Tire Com
pany, 1--WE found that by using this in
gredient in fairly large percentages a
new type of tread compound could he
produced which was approximat.Iv
twice as resistant to abrasion and eut,
ting as the old conventional tread com
pound
This new black compound was used
when our Royal Cord tire was first put
on the market. 1t was not long before
compounds of much the same type were
Ia common use throughout the in
oustry. Because of the effectiveness of
thls compound, it is safe to say in gen
efal that black tread is far tougher
than tread of any other color. but II 4
must be remembered that through tha
blooming of the sulphur in the eom-
pound the color may become a darn
gray rather than a jet black color"

The return from Waterbury to
New York can be made by continuing
south through the Naugatuck Valley

way is to go from Waterbury through
