COLUMBIA. Dec. (Special.) County Court Clerk Arch W. Lipscomb does not agree with tlio ruling of Secretory of State Sneed that ho is entitled to a fee of $1 for tlie re-regiHUutlim of tlie automobile numbers for the new year. On tho contrary, under Mr.

Lipscomb's view of the law, which Ib chapter 8 of the acts of the last legislature, be ls not entitled to any fee for the registration of certificates for 103(1 on tho old cars that Is, tho cara heretofore registered. Now does it appenr thut tho law requires theso new certificates to be again registered in the office of tho county court clerk. However, the accommodating clerk expects to register all of the certificates for the benefit of the public. By registering the new numbers in tho clerk's office, one can usccrtnin the ownership of a cur without going to the office of the. secretary of state at Nashville.

It does not appear to the satisfaction of the clerk, from reading tho act, that there Ib nny authority for changing tho numbers of the curs wich year, pu the cou-trnry he Is rather inclined to believe that when payment is made for the nnuual tax under chapter of acts of 1915, the fcame old number, which is nlreddy registered in the office of the clerk in each county whero tlie machine is owned, should be aguin used. u.uu no uiu ruin is inougnt to have been general In tlio Cumberland valley, an additional foot or two of water Is to be expected.

Selling property is a business task, to be accomplished through strictly business methods if it is to be accomplished without endless delay and penalty-cost. The "strictly-business" method of selling real estate is to advertise it adequately, informingly, frankly and PERSISTENTLY. This last requirement might almost be placed FIRST. Of course, your result may come quickly that happens very often. But if the property is desirable, and the offering is attractive, the sale is.

SURE whether it requires a week's advertising or two weeks' advertising. And it. is rare that so much is required rarer still that a longer campaign is necessary. 8 But, if you are getting "anxious to sell," do not wastes any more time with window placards or front-gate signs. Aggie Hunt.

As a matter of sportsmen agree that tho now game law Is tho first tho jitato has had that has been measurably well on-forced. It must be that practically everyone In tho county who Ih In the habit of hunting on premises other than his own, has taken out a license, for It Is hardly believed that there are moro than seven hundred sportsmen In the' county.
