A ALITTLE BETTER.

In a city near Abbevilie man is
said to be gaining Livelihood for
his family and putting little money
m the bank from the sale OF peanuts.
He buys his peanuts by the busnel
and does his own roasting and his
own selling. The occupation may not
be classed as one of the learned pro-
fessions, but the peanut vender is
succeeding at his occupation.
You do not believe a man is able
to sell enough peanuts to do this,
you say? Well, he does, and there arc
two reasons why he does. The first
is that he roasts his peanuts little
better than the other people who are
selling peanuts, and those: who buy
peanuts seek him out in order. to
buy from him. They want the best.
The other reason is that he does his
own roasting and his own selling.
He doesn't sit in an easy chair and
undertake to be a capitalist.
And if you will look about you in
other lines of business you will find
that the man who himself works and
who does not sit down and employ
others to do the work he is able to
do for himself, and the man who does
his work q little better, q little more
thoroughly, and consequently a lit
tie more satisfactorily than his neigh,
1hor, is the man who is succeeding,
whether he is a preacher, a teacher,
q doctor, a merchant, farmer, or
engaged in some other occupation.

CITY GARAGE MANAGER
TALKS OIL BUSINESS
Experienced Jobber Tells Of Ad'
vantages of Independent BIying
And Selling .

Mr.. G. A. Harrison, manager of
the City Garage, gave some facts yes
terday relative to the status of the
independent oil retailers and job
bers in this state. Mr.. Harrison has
been resident of Abbeville for four
teen years. and for twelve years he
has been in the garage business, and
knows all the ins and outs of the
oil trade. The City Garage is one
of the oldest and most substantial
of the city. 1t occupies floor space
of 3,S40 square feet at the corner. of
Trinity and Church streets, and is
thoroughly equipped to hanadle the
various types of work that come in.
Mr.. Harrison says that his firm
does a jobbing business throughout
the entire county, besides taking
care Of the retail trade at home in a
most efficient manner. He says that,
aside from any personal gain that
might accrue to his firm, it is to the
interest Of gasoline and kerosene
dealers to buy from local jobbers who
deal independently, for the reason
that a greater proportion of the
money is kept at home, to be spent
at home. The further away the head
office with whom you deal the furth-
er away does your money go and the
less good will it do your home COM
munity. 49, y
Figures show" said Mr.. Harri-
son, "that the prices charged for
gasoline and kerosene are on a. par
ity with. those charged at other near
by points. Of courses" Said Mr.. Har-
rison, "there must be some differ
ence, due to freight charge .varia-
tlons and nearness to water front.
Then too, the competitive practices
Of garage men enter into the prices
charged. The price of gasoline in Abb
beville is rs cents 4 gallon retail and
22.5 wholesale, as compared with
23.5 and 21.5 in Columbia; 24.5 and
22.5 in Charlotte; 26 and 22.5 in
Greenwood; % and 20 in Augusta,
and % and. 21 in Atlanta. The diff
ferent, prices do not necessarily in
dicate differences in profit.
Many other facts showing the
scope Of the oil business carried or
by the Independents could be put
forth to show the public why it is to
their advantage to deal with the To-
cal jobbers rather than the compan-
les operating on a national scale, who
take their earnings out of the state
and invest them elsewhere, rather
than expanding their plants and
equipment within the state," conclud-
ed Mr.. Harrison

NEW LICENSE PLATES
TO BE DIFFERENT
Black and White Rather Than Red,
For Automobiles and Truck
Licenses

The State.
Several important changes are to
be made in the 1922 license plates
for automobiles, trucks, motorcycles
and other motor vehicles, according
to L. H. Thomas, secretary of the
state highway commission, who an
nounced yesterday that bids for man.
ufacturing the 1922 plates would be
advertised tomorrow.
Among the changes will be the
,olor scheme from the present red
and black, which has given some
trouble, to background of white
and figures of black. This change
will enable reading of the numbers
at night and day much easier than
with the present red numerals and
black background.
Another change will be the plac-
ing of the letters of rs. c." and the
figures 1922" in the upper right
hand corner of the plate rather than
under the numbers as at present. This
will result in reduction in. the a.
mount of material used in manufac-
turing the licenses and consequently
reduce the price to the commission.
Bids will be received by the secre-
tary of the commission up until noon
of August 6 and will be subject to
the approval of the state finance COM
mittee. Due to a law, passed last
year no department can make con-
tracts for any expenses in advance Of
the appropriations or for any other
purpose than mentioned in the ap-
preparation bill. This would mean
that the 1922 licenses could not be
contracted for until after the 1922
appropriation bill has been passed
and in turn would result in the IL
censes not being ready, for distribl-
ton until possibly in May or June.
Another law provides that the plates
shall be furnished between January
1 and February 1. In consequence Of
these conflicting laws the highway
department is putting the matter of
final approval up to the state finance
committee. ~. ......
A total of 10000 plates will be or
dered for cars in classes. A, B and
G.. In the remaining. classes, the
heavier cars, 22,75O plates will be
ordered. These include autos and
trucks. For motorcycles 1,100 will
be bought. :. T.
The plates are to be delivered in
Columbia on or before December 1,
1921. :; Details as to length width
and other necessary matters can be
had upon application to Mr.. Thomas.

CUT ALFALFA WHEN NEW
SHOOTS START FROM GROWN

Just when to cut alfalfa and how
many times 10 harvest crop In
one season are questions which
have received studied attention from
experts In the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture and the various
experiment stations In alfalfa-pro-
dueing States. Ordinarily It Is a
good time TO cut alfalfa for hay
when the new shoots have started
from the crown. and from one-tenth
to one-fifth OF the plants are In flow
er, But these two conditions do not
always occur at the same time.
However. the farmer with little
experience, and keeping I'm mind the
flower and new shoots, soon Is able
to tell when HIS alfalfa crop should
be cut. The farmers hest judgment
will be called into play, with pre-
ference given TO the welfare OF the
plant rather than the size OF the
crop.
experiments on Government plats
seem TO prove that cutting is not es-
sential to the welfare OF the plant,
but Is only a means of getting hay
Plats OF alfalfa that have not been
cut in six years are In better physi-
cal condition to-day than those that
have been cut regularly. Govern
ment agricultural experts lean
strongly toward fewer crops Of al
falfa a year, holding that as large
tonnage can be secured, for example,
with three as with four cuttings,
and with less labor. Emphasis Is
laid on the necessity of leaving time
enough after the last harvest TO
permit the plants to get a healthy
growth, approximately inches, be-
fore frost.

DISCOUNT PRICE PAID FOR
GRAIN or INFERIOR QUALITY

While equipment for cleaning and
conditioning grain is expensive,
country elevators will find that its
use frequently improves the quality
of the grain and increases its mar
ket value. says specialists of the
Bureau OF Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture. Some
times grain comes to the elevator in
poor condition, often being dirty.
dusty. or with high moisture con-
tent, and unless the quality is i'm
proved by cleaning or drying the
grain cannot be disposed of advan-
tageously.
Moreover, grain containing inn
puritles. foreign matter. or n high
moisture content is quite likely to
become hot in transit, which greatly
reduces It's value and frequently re-
suits In serious financial loss. II
the elevator is not provided with
suitable equipment for this process.
such grain must be shipped In the
condition in which II Is received.
The farmer should not place all
responsibility for cleaning grain on
the elevator. Il is believed II should
be remembered that elevator mana
gers do not pay grain prices for the
dirt and water found In farmers
grain. The price should be estab-
lished by taking into consideration
the necessary expense of placing the
grain in marketable condition. The
farmer who delivers clean. dry,
sound grain should receive a premi-
um over the price paid to the more
careless farmer who delivers grain
OF Inferior quality. specialists say.
