Greenwood, June 30.—Robert L.
Moore, 55, former cotton mill em
ploye, is under guard in a local hos
pital following a warrant served by
Coroner R. L. Faulkner, charging him
with the murder of his wife, Mrs. Liz
zie Moore, 45, at their home in Ninety-
Six early today.
Mrs. Moore was shot through the
head with,a double barrelled shot gun
while she slept with three small
daughters and died instantly. Moore is
suffering from a wound in the jaw
which testimony at the inquest this
afternoon Mended to show was self-
inflicted. He was brought to the hos
pital immediately after the killing.
Eliza May, 12, dldest of the three
children sleeping with their mother,
said that she was awakened by the re
port of the gun and found her mother
dead by her aide and the father sitting
on another bed complaining that he
had been wounded by someone who
had entered the house, shot his wife
and then him and fled through the
back door after throwing the gun on
the bed.

The success of these associations,
based on the fact that the public was
made acquainted with them and kept
in touch with them, at least to a cer
tain extent through the newspapers,
is the answer to the age-old question,
“Does advertising pay?” As a matter
of fact it not only stands on its own
feet as a,dividend provider, but like
wise helps open the gates for the pub
lication of news.

A stranger walked up to a group
of men on the streets of Clinton.
Singling out one, he said, “Are you
Owen Davis?”
“Yes, stranger, and I’m not
alone. All the rest owe him, too.”
Drug Clerk: “Doctor, a Scotch
man outside wants a dime’s worth
of poison to commit suicide with.
How can I discourage him?”
Dr.: “Tell him it costs 20c.”
“You say that boy of yours is a
chip off the old block?”
“Yes, and we have a little splin
ter at the house this morning.’
Don’t forget to get in some of
that good fishing these July days.

SERVICE
In the Ford Motor Company we
emphasize service equally with
sales.
It has always been our belief that
a sale does not complete the trans
action between us and the buyer,
but establishes a new obligation on
us to see that his car gives him
service.
We are as much interested in his
economical operation of the car as
he is in our economical manufac
ture of it.
This is only good business on
our part.
If our car gives service, sales
will take care of themselves.
For that reason we have installed
a system of controlled service to
take care of all Ford car needs in
an economical and improved man
ner.
We wish all users of Ford cars
to know what they are entitled to
in this respect, so that they may
readily avail themselves of this
service.
