The motor driven Lummus Automatic Air Blast outfit ig extensively used in sections of the South where pedigreed cot ton is grown, and it has proven the most economical ' and ef fective equipment obtainable. The . Polk County Ginning Company at great expense has erected its gin and seed house in order to accomodate the cot ton planters of the section and the patronage of every planter will be appreciated. Many of the best known farmers in the county are finan cially interested in the com pany. and they have invested their money in the best obtaln ble equipment so that the cot ton grown in this section may be handled in an up-to-date manner. The concern expects to give good service, better ginning, and a fair and square deal to every customer who brings his cotton to Columbus this year. The ginning company will buy cotton, and exchange cotton seed meal and hulls for seed and will act as receiving agent for the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association, They have made strong affiliations with reliable mills and will be in direct touch with heavy buyers by phone thus assuring the highest market pricey for cot ton ginned in Columbus. No drayage charges will be made on cotton seed purchased by the company. Columbus is an ideal location for a ginning plant to accomo date Polk County planters. It is on the State Highway trav ersing the county north and south with, good top soil roads communicating with the cotton producing territory Columbus has adequate bank ing facilities a big factor to the growef who wishes to cash his checks promptly in order to settle with tenants, pay fertilizer notes, etc. The hotel accomodations are very good and several stores stock staple merchandise. The hard surfaced road to Tryon pro vides a means of quick com munication with that prosper ous city. In the last analysis every resident of the county will be benefitted by the activities of the new corporation because when Polk County dollars stay at home to work from Polk county's continued prosperity, Columbus, Mill Spring, Tryon j every community in the coun ; ty will be directly affected. Let's gin every bale of cotton grown in this section at the new Columbus plant' owned and op erated by dirt farmers who are individually and collectively in terested in seeing Polk County grow and develop. Let's pull together to make i Polk County great !

Strawberry 1-W -50 Gas Tank Smashed Sunday Crowds Watch The Naze Sunday afternoon a Dodge and Buick locked horns, on Trade Street and as a result of the collision the Bulcks gas tank suffered a puncture* while the Dodge lost the major por tion of its Wind shield. In some mysterious manner the escaping gas became igrfit ed and in a short time half of Tryon was watching the blaze. While the cars were being moved from the highway a traffic jam became iminent and only through the strenous efforts of Chief Wilson was confusion averted. A brake that wouldn't hold or a car that wouldn't steer or some such minor matter was the leading factor in the col lission which resulted in no great damage to either partic pant and seemed to afford con siderable amusement to the throng which quickly gathered. o TO THE TAXPAYERS OF TRYON Mr. H. S. Blanton, C; P. A. of Eaton, Soussey & Company, Certified Public ] Accountants has just handed us his report of the annual audit of the books of The Town of Tryon for the fiscal year ending May 31,1924. The report is entirely too vol umninous to print; but I am taking this opportunity of ask ing every citizen of the town to come in and inspect same, so that you may become better acquainted with your own co poration in which each citizen has a direct interest, In his General Comments, j "the auditor say "During the I course of this audit we checked j all vouchers supporting dis bursements. Vouchers were on file for all expenditures, ex cepting specifically authorized salaries A proof was made of your income from taxes, licens es and water rents. The Police Court Docket was checked out and all costs accuring to the city have been taken into ac count. The books were well kept and in balance." Come in and we will be glad to show where the money comes from* and where is going to. Respectfully * Wi. S. GREEN, Mayor. o : Golf Bugs Stage Fourth of July Tournament The annual Fourth of July Tournament of the Tryon Country Club will staged July 3-4-5 Trophieg will be awarded win ners and runners up in all the events.

Secretary Gerald Stone ad vises all members and visitors to bring their bathing suits as the new swimming pool will be open. The Club will give a dance at Oak Hall on the evening of July 5th. and an orchestra has been engaged for the occasion. 0 Southern potato raisers are kicking vigorously because Chicago merchants are alleged to have sold oM potatoes as new charging from five to ten cents per pound for them in the retail stores. The Windy City commission merchants resent the implica tion and blame the retailew whom they say have been sell ing Nebraska "Triumphs" a variety "resembling the new southern tubers, as spring spuds.
