SUCCESS WITH APPLES
T.. IN ABBEVILLE COUNTY

Clemson College, February-As an
illustration of success in the Pied
mont with apples on a small scale, the
experience of Mr.. F. E. Ellis, Level
Land, Abbeville County, is very in
teresting. In the winter of 1908, Mr..
Ellis set 20 Pinson and 40 Yates ap-
pie trees Of his own propagating.
During the last five years he has sold
from these go trees s1,O4o worth of
apples, besides having used an ample
supply in his home and having fed
Gull to hogs. For home use he has had
apples nine months in the year, so
we'll do his varieties keep in his Sec
tion. 81.
From two of the Pinson trees, Mr..
Ellis sold in 1919, $65 worth of
apples. He sells his product on the
local market, not having yet been

TO AMEND AUTOMOBILE LAW.

Columbia, Feb. 5.-B. W. Cruoch,
of Saluda, and Jos. M. Bell, of Col
umbia representing the executive
council of the South Carolina Bank
ers Association, appeared before the
judiciary committee of the House
Wednesday afternoon and asked the
passage, in an amended form of
House bill No. 8 by Representative
Sapp of Richland, which seeks to
protect money mortgages on auto
mobiles. Jas. H. Craig, state bank
examiner, was also to have appeared
before the committee with Messrs.
Crouch and Bell but was prevented
by a business engagement from be-
ing present.
Mr.. Crouch as the spokesman for
the bankers, asked the committee to
amend the bill so as to make all
bona fde mortgages on automobiles
prior to attachment liens for damag-
es. The bill as introduced by Repre-
sentative Sapp would afford this
protection only to bona fide purchase
money mortgages.
Mr.. Crouch told the committee that
the farmers of South Carolina were
going to need every bit of the collat-
eral they could secure this year in
order to finance their crops. Many of
them have good automobiles which
would be acceptable as collateral
were it not for the law on the statute
books which makes an attachment
lien for damages come ahead of a
mortgage. Mr.. Crouch said that he
was speaking as a country banker
who knew the effect the law would
have on the farming interests. He
also said that there were many busi-
ness men upon whom the law worked
great hardship. He felt that the
law was an unjust one and pleaded
earnestly with the the committee to
amend it so as to offer relief to the
farming and business interests.
South Carolina is the only state in
the Union with such a law, it was
pointed out. 8, ....

Omitted Press) flames A. Still
man and his wife, who are suing
each other for divorce, were in
conference today at Laurel-in-the-
Pines, the hotel at which Mrs.
Stillman is stopping here. it was
reported.
1t was presumed that, if such a
conference were held. the subject
would be quick settlement of the
divorce actions out OF court.
The plan is, to drop the divorce
proceedings in New York state,
wait a while for the public inter-
est in the case to wane and then
resume the action quietly in Cali
fornia or Nevada, probably the lat
ter state.
Meanwhile, negotiations regard
ing the custody of the Stillman
children are understood to be in
progress among attorneys for both
sides. II an agreement can be
reached it is likely that the divorce
action. when instituted in Califor-
MIA or Nevada, will be uncontested.
