Counties in the state have so far j received a little over a half million dollars from the 80 per cent, motor vehicle license fund, this sum being returned to the various county treas uries as provided by law, according to figures compiled through August by,L. H. Thomas, secretary of the state highway commission. Mr. Thomas announced yesterday that the total collection to date for 1921 had reached $727,507.06 and of the amount $576,631.29 was accruable to the counties. Greenville county leads the en tire state with $48,683.91 returned' from the sale of licenses, while Rich land is second with $45,231.06 and Spartanburg is third with $38,312.11. .Charleston comes fourth with $37 437.99 and Anderson is fifth with $35,611.28. In the total registration of motor vehicles over the state Mr. Thomas finds that the counties where the reg-1 istration has fallen off this year as compared with 1920 are where "king cotton" is grown more than any other crop. The price of cotton all year has kept many machines under the shel ter and the figures on the sales of li censes show that the cotton and agri cultural counties have fallen behind all year. , Greenville again is in the lead with the total number of machines regis tered with 6,634 automobiles and 662 trucks as compared with a regis- j tration of 6,726 automobiles and trucks for 1920. Richland also has gone above last year's figur?s with 5,558 autos and 798 trucks. Spar tanburg with 5,316 autos and 524 trues is slightly ahead of the 1920 ons Gasoli 3 Every W liions of gasoline we will give a ill be put in a box.

Anderson ? with 5,278 automo biles and 411 trucks is slightly below the 1920 registration when the, total was 6,086.

In Orangeburg county, Sumter, Edgefield and a number of other counties the 1921 registration is far below that of 1920.
