More people in the country operate -automobiles per capita than people in the cities; but in tbe oia aays mom people in the country alsu operated irubber-tired buggies. The Hartsville Messenger has increased its advertising rates to 40 and 50 ceuts an iuch. The Messenger has flione what many papers will hove to 4o if they hope to survive this period of inflated prices. To make goods cheaper, more goods .are needed. .The way to get them is to speed production. It's simple, but come people can't get it because they wuld rather let the other fellow dot ifhe work. ? Some of the nation's most accomplished gentlemen drinkers have attempted to live in Cuba, but the Jam Mm so great there that rents have made it ithpossible to stay. Only the very arieh can stand it. , There will be no more money loanto the allied powers, it is officially stated. Europe must get to work and rehabilitate itself.

Rockefeller was a delegate to the inter-church world conference Ml Atlantic City. Before registering at the hotel, he asked the clerk tG give *im the* rates. He carefully comparv ?d the clerk's quotations with the V urates given in the bulletin issued by IK the conference for the guidance of ^*^?lelegates, and finding no discrepant^ permitted his bags to be taken to his room. Mr. Rockefeller is said t0 be , the richest man in the woijld. His treaKh is estimated at a billion dollars. We have seen many a man who ttound it to hard to make both ends aeet rush up to a hotel register, sign lh mame with a flourish and go on hwat his business without asking rates.

EAR Florida is making a great bid for the moving picture industry and threatens t0 be a keen competitor against southern California. Florida has a plenty of sunshine and mild weather the year around and is closer to New York than California. Quite a number of large producing companies have been utilizing Florida for this work and Miami may yet become the Los Angeles of the south. It's been a hard winter throughout the northwest, with plenty of cold and snow early in the winter and consistent attacks by King North Pole ever since. But the> silver lining to the cloud is that there will be much moisture in the ground next spring and good crops are assured. In some sections of the northwest the cold has been so intense that cattle and stocks In droves have frozen to death, occasioning severe losses. * ' | MOTORING TO THE FINISH. It is pleasant to learn from an expert that the supply of gasoline is likely to last a few generations longer, and if many additional new fields are discovered the supply may last a hundred years. The law of mathematics, however, will triumph, in the end, as no matter how great a supply in the bowels of the earth one capsToi continue subtracting forever. But by that time, motor drivers in Dillon ar( assured the necessary supply r.f gasoline will be produced from all manner of stalks, weeds, apples and what not. From this it would appear t'.ut the supply of motor-driving maieiial will in reality never give out. How long this old world is going to last nobody knows, but scientists say some kind of motor-driving material mtsu wo or ith us the finish.

Chester, Jan. 7?The question, "is nitrate of soda combustible:" which one frequently hears asked, I was answered yesterday afternoon to comnlete satisfaction of a negro who | was driving a wagon loaded with seven sacks of soda down the Fish Dam road. All went as merry as a marriage bell as long as the driver elected to journey along without resourse to his pipe or cigarette; but in an evil moment he decided to smoke, and his philosophizing then and there had a rude and sudden termination, for like a powder magazine the whole lQad of nitrate of soda was gone up in smoke and along with a good two horse wagon that W. J. Stone, owner of the soda, had but recently purchased. Nitrate of soda is very combustible, being composed of some of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the most powerful explosive; and County Farm Agent H. K. Sanders advises buyers and users of soda to see to it that fire is kept away; if they/want to avoid a costly and dfsastrous conflagration. \Wants I RATES: 10c. A LINE % m Count six words to a line.
