~ ~40 VOLUENS....NMph 35 PIKN.S ,TUSAY EBR2,12 EASLEY CONTINUES TO MAKE The progressive little city of Easley will not be downed. If at first she does not su'eceed her motto is, "try try again." it will be remembered that a few montihs ago the question 'of issuing $50,000 for improvements and $30,000 for past indebtness wa4 voted upor and carried by a sulstantlal majority, but due to a technicallity the electior was thrown out. In the very near.fuwtdre thia same question will be resubmitted to the qualified voters of Easley, and every thing seems to point to an even great er victory for the bohde than on the previous election. OG of the -i pulatiohs of this bond issue if carried is that property own ers are to pay 50 per cent of the cost of paving. The bonds are to run for a period of 40 years. Should this bond issue carry, Eas ley will probably have more paved streets than any other city "of its size in the state. CHRISTMAS TREE AT GLASSY MOUNTAIN.

FORD SALES R.ECORD BROKEN According to a statement issued by the Ford Motor Company, deliveries of Ford Cars and Trucks to retail buyers during the ~i'onth of Novem ber totalled 106,327. This is a new high sales record that has never be fore been approached by the company at this season of the year and one which stands out in marked contrast to the November 1921 retail delivery figures which totalled 'slightly o p:r 58,000 cars and trucks. For eight consecutive months, bc ginning with April 1st of this ye ar retail deliveries have evceeded 100, 000 Ford Cars and Trucks each month, the accunalated total for the hrst eleven months of 1922 being app;rox inately 1,200,000. While the ~Com pany points out that it is not. nus ial for Ford retail sales to exceed the 100,000 mark during the spring and early summer months when the de mand it at its peak, the manner in which business has held up through out the balance of the year is without precedent. Credit for thes remarkable showing is attributed by the Ford Motor Con pany to the many improvements which havc lately been made on Ford Cars and particularly to thq ew low level cif.Ford prices, lecentlv put into effect. These new lo prices not only brcaden the it -(d of >rospective Ford purchasers but'g st' 1 further in mak. ing; the Ford Car best value from the standpo nt o1 t e retail buyer, that it has ever be n. Although the FI rd fat ones have been cperating i capacity for the past eight morth , sales have 'qual 1e1 picauction ad1d judging Iron the unusual manner ini which orders are coming in at this season of the year Ford dealers will be unable to ac. cumulate an adequate stock of cars during the winter months for delivery next spring. In the opinion of the Ford Motor Company, November sales are an in dication that many prospective pur chasers, realizing the exceptional value nowv being offered in Ford cars, are beginnig to anticipate an unusuai spring (demand and are therefore plac ing orders during the fall and will cebutinue to do so throughout the wvinte'r to avoid disappointing delays in dlelivery later on. While this will relieve the situation to some extent, it is pointed out that the Radily in crecasing. dlemand for Ford cars is nevertheless sume to. create an ac.'ute shortage as the season advances. Accordingly, the F'ord sales Organ ization is urging- prospective For'd purchaser's to arrange for delivery (luring the winter months in oi'der' that the demand next spring will be relieved as f'ar as possible..

Farmers of this rcection have shown an unusual interest in farming with tractoy~ during the pre sent fall.

The introdluction of improved ma chinery has not been more marked in any way thani as rogards tractors, it w'as dleclaredl. Pickens county farm ers have found thenm to be more eo nomicall than horses and mules, and i-t the same time have been able to accomplish things with a tractor which no one pair of animals cotid do. At least one farm'in this section will rely on tractors exclusively next year, the mule having been eliminatedl in the 1923 plans, and it is taken as a possible indication of miuleless farms that may (develop throughout thi5 section within the next few "ears.
