LEARN ABOUT GOODYEARS
FROM US
If you are confused by the claims advanced for dif
ferent tires, ask for proof instead of *HaIk** before you
’ buy. Tdday the relative merits of tires may 1^ very
easily compared.
LAURENS PAPER
AGAIN PUBLISHED

♦
There are two main parts to a tire: (1) the outside
Tread; (2) (h« Inside Carcass. In both of these main
parts, the superiority of Goodyear Tires will be clearly
and quickly demonstrated to you by us.
That these superiorities are real and vital is proved
by the fact that millions more people now ride on Good-
year Tires'than on any other kind. The last sales figures
show a ^in for Goodyear Tires three times as great as
the indudtry as a whole.
This Goodyear leadership, which grows greater each
year in the great tire industry, points conclusively to a
very sijyieciar product.

J. T. and W. T. Crews Revive Laurens-
ville Herald. Father Was Editor
For More Than 50 Years.
Laurens, Dec. 6.—With J. T. and
W. T. Crews as publishers. The Lau-
rensville Herald, one of the oldest
weekly newspapers in the state, has
been, revived, the first issue appearing
today. The Herald plant, operated un
der another management, was burned
out last July after which the company
liquidated its affairs.
'The Herald was owned and publish
ed by the late Col. Thomas B. Crews
for more than fifty yeays. After Ed
itor Crews’ death in 1911, the paper
was bought by a local stock cqmpany,
and "published for eighteen yearfe by i
B, Y. Culbertson and W. L. Taylor. i
The Messrs. Crews recently decided '
to revive their father’s old newspaper.'
It is issued as a new volume, and to-1
day’s number is a ten-page paper. Of-
fices of the new paper are in the same
building, secend floor, that were oc-!
cupied by The Herald before the plant j
was moved to the old Traynham build- i

Sm^l Fire At
Training School
On Tuesday raoining, about 5:30, a
temporary shed at the State Training
school, in which the laundry boiler
was housed, became ignited by cinders i
that had been placed too close to the I
structure. None of the machinery was
damaged and it was put back in use
about twelve hours later. The entire
damage will probably not amointt to
more than $100. The Clinton fire de-
paitment responded promptly, but due
to the condition of the road, the blaze
was extinguished belor.? its arrival.
NOTICE

Sanitary Cafe of Clinton, and am
no longer connected in any way
with this concern. Any bills due
and unpaid, will be paid if pre
sented to the Sanitary Cafe.
