HOVE THEY FARM
IN COFFEE COUNTY.

Down in Coffee county, and
particularly around Douglas, the
farmers are not worrying about
rains, the hail, nor hard times,
for according to the Coffee Coun-
ty Enterprise, that section of
the country is just now finding
new industry, that of truck
ing and are bringing the cucum-
Der TO the front as a money crop
rather than cotton as has been
their main dependence in the
past; Now what the county has
accomplished and is accomplish
ing, seems to the Times-Record-
er, the farmers of Sumter coun-
ty can do equally as well.
The story which comes out of
Coffee is that plans were made
weeks ago for putting in mon
stefa cucumber crop. , Every
grover who last fall put in
crop, made money, and every one
expects to make money this sea-
SON. English peas is another crop
which the truckers are banking
on. . The same can be said Of
strawberries and celery for
which there is big demand.
This seasons cucumber crop
down in Coffee, it is said, will
bring to the growers of that see
ton little over 100000, vi
The general soil all through
this section of the state is ad-
inirably adapted for these new
crops and the sooner the farm
ers of Sumter county take more
to trucking, the better it will be
for their good in the long run.
1t is quite true that just now
some. are rather discouraged not
being able to find a magket for
the produce at home, and the
freight rates to Atlanta and 9TH
er cities so far away from AMER 2
icus are prohibitiYe. Truth is,
the farmer will have to find some
other mode of transportation, and
we believe to ship by truck will
be the final solution to this prob
lem. The railroads are rather
Independent and do not cater to
the patronage of the small ship
per as they should.
OF course the farmers Of this
section ought to make cotton and
some tobacco, but it seems 10 Is
the possibilities for the section
for trucking should be carefully
studied, especially the market
ing end.

CURIOUS DEVICE
FOR MAKING FIRE.

1t was only seventy-Rve years
ago that woman of the Mid
die West wrote to her cousin in
New York:
Last winter l was told of
curious new device for making
fire. 1t consisted of small splint-
ers of wood with tips of some
substance that bursts into flame
when rubbed on a rough sur
face. If you can procure some
of them for me l shall be CRATE
full"
Matches were in general use
in Europe for years before they
were seen in this country. There
was no means for spreading
such news rapidly.
Today, the new invention that
contributes to comfort or con-
venlence IS quickly known the
country over. Advertising con-
veys the information. The farm
er's wife in Texas or Idaho is
as well posted on these things
as the city woman of the East.
Don't overlook the advertise
ments in these columns. They
are heralds of progress, with real
news for you and your family.
They save your time, tighten your
work and enable YOU to obtain
the utmost in value for the mon-
ey you spend.
Time given to reading the
advertisements is we'll spent.

COULDN'T KNOW
A CENTURY AGO. ~ T..

Bdcl4 in 1918 the greatest'
newspaper of the day declared
that the world had reached
the limit of human expansion.
1t even went further, saying
that there weren't enough sup
plies in the world to support
further growth of population.
The mind of 1918 couldn't
conceive of the miracles that
human ingenuity would perform
during the twentieth century. 1t
couldn't imagine the wonders
that would be brought by new
agricultural methods and mod
ern manufacturing genius. 1t
was ignorant of transportation
a we know it, or the progress
aYe sales methods of today. 1t
could not see the vital part that
wgald be played by advertising.
Eren today there are some
~ao fail to realize what an i'm
portaut factor advertising has
become. Advertising is as much
part Of today's life as electric
ity, antiseptic surgery or auto
mobiles. It keeps US up-to-date
on the many things we need in
order TO live profitable, happy
and useful lives. 1t presents for
our approval articles Of all kind
and for all purposes. The re-
quirements Of each member of
the family are met by adver-
tised offers Of good merchandise
Of proved value.
The advertisements save
time, money and effort for
those who read them and follow
their guidance. They are prac~
teal guarantees of satisfaction.
Don't lay aside this paper
without reading the advertise
ments.

The prohecy that more color
was to characterize floor cover
1ngs seems to have been sound
one. Though the taupe shades
maintain their position at the
head Of the solid color carpets
and rugs, it is a fact that in
creasing sales are made in
brighter Aolors.
This growing feeling for col
or Is especially noticeable in the
many interesting floor covering
products which foreign countries
are sending here. Of course,
the Oriental shadings that have
been standard for many years
remain same, but the new ex-
cursionists into the realms of
French and Belgian made rugs
find no color too gay for them.
Recent designs show rich tan
gerine shades, gorgeous purples
and blues, and more than a trace
of really vivid red.
Odd fruits and flowers, queer
scrolls, and interesting single
motifs make these rugs ideal for

Resignation of Roy d. McPherrin

1t will be necessary for Trentham
to file Il bond of $1,000 approved

and receive his certificate of ap-

succeed Mr.. MePherrin. 1t was
