ALBION BUYS AUTO.- s
Oastoaia . Wholesale , Grocery
Firm to . Use Cadllac for
. Travellnt: Salesman First
Concern la' Thla Section
Try Thla Experiment.
Gastonia is generally in t
leaot-fihe can at least be counted
on to: keep abreast of other
progressive towns Her latest
claim to this distinction lies in
the fact that a Gastonia firm is
the first in this section, so far
as known, to put into service an
automobile for the use of its
traveling salesmen. The concern
referred to is the Albion Grocery
Comoanv. -V.:"
Says The Charlotte Observer
of Sunday:'" The Albion Grocery
Co.. of Gastonia, yesterday pur
chased from the Osmond L
Barrioger Co . a convertible
Cadilac touring car to be used
by Mr. Williams in covering the
territory between Yorkville, b
C, and Hickory. The car is
equipped with an odometer so
that they can keep an accurate
account of the expense per mile
and in this wav learn just how
much they are saying in railroad
fare and buggy hire. This is
the fi st t rue in North Carolina
that an automobile has- been
used as a competitor of the rail
roads and the success of the ven
ture will mean that a number of
firms will adopt the same method
of transportation tor their rep
resentatives."
Mr. A A Williams, the firm's
traveling representative, - left
Gastonia Saturday afternoon in
the machine, bis objective point
being Maiden. From that point
he started yesterday on a trip
including a number of towns
Lenoir being as the farthest
north. He will cover his terri
tory, from Lenoir to Yorkville
and from Belmont to Gaffney,
in the auto. It is an experiment
on the part of the company and
its workings will be watched
with interest by other firms.
There is nothing nicer packed

ALFALFA.
Advantage of Spring Sowing
Preparatioa a n d Seeding
When to Cat.
Wood' Crop Special.
Alfalfa Can be sown either in
the springer fall.- A satisfactory
stand secured from spring seed
ing will get well set and give
full crops tbe following year.
While late summer and fall
seeding are quite generally
practiced, it is not advisable to
put off until fall if conditions
are light for spring sowing.
Quite frequeutly hot dry weather
will prevent the proper prepara
tion of the ground in tbe late
summer and fall and also cause
the seed to fail to come up well.
Good conditions cau nearly !
always be secured for spring
seedings aud it is not wise" to
depend on fall seeding altogether
provided proper preparations of
tbe land can be made and sea
sonable weather tor seedin? in
the spring prevails.
To have best success with
Alfalfa, land - should contain
plentv of vegetable matter or
else be liberally enriched with
stable manure. The application
of lime is also very beneficial.
The land should be deeply plow
ed and have thorough prepara
tion harrowed and harrowed so
as to make a fine firm seed bed
ow liberally of seed from 20 to
30 pounds per acre and cover
ith a light harrow or brush
harrow to an average of as near
half an inch deep as possible.
The last of March' is the best
time lor seeding in the spring in
this section although Alfalfa can
be sown anytime during March
or up to the middle of April.
Spring sown alfalfa should be
clipped just before ready to
bloom, having the sickle set
rather high. If the growth is
not very heavy the fitst cutting
is left on the ground: if quite
heavy it can be cured and used
for bay. Tbe field may bt mow
ed again once or twice during
the summer. Mowing is also
the remedy given when the
leaves turn yellow.

Read the Cameron Range Talks.
The attention of our many
readers is directed to the strik
ing advertisements of the Cam
eron steel, ranges, now appear
ing in this paper. The Gastonia
Furniture Cotnpanv has secured
tbe agency for these famous
ranges in Gastonia and will be
glad to show how the Cameron
works, acd to give any other in
formation desired.
Range building in many in
stances has followed too closely
the old methods with but few
new improvements. Therefore,
the Cameron steel ranges are
very much in demand among
housekeepers everywhere on ac
count of the many modern and
up-to-date improvements that
they carry.-
For instance, we learn that the
Cameron steel ranges have
larger ovens and Sues than any
other ranges made. This makes
cooking quicker and better and
does away with the flues "chock
ing." Soft or hard coal can be
burnt with as good results as
wood. The Cameron is also as
bestos lined and takes less fuel
Don't fail to see the Cameron.
