more that music is a very necessary
part of one's education.
These artists are recognized as the
State's best; therefore, help us to se
cure a large audience for them.
Shooting at Negro Church.
Sunday about two o'clock one ne
gro was killed and another mortally
wounded at Pleasant Grove church.
Eugene Oliphant who was under the
influence of whiskey at the time walk
ed up to an automobile in which was
seated Eugene Strother and wife and
his sister. Oliphant began to curse
and Strother remonstrated with him
for cursing in the presence of his
wife and sister. Thereupon Oliphant
drew a pistol and fired at Strother
and instead of hitting the man the
ball entered the head of Strother's
wife, killing her instantly. Her five*
months old baby was sitting in her
lap at the time the shooting occurred.
Alonza Strother, a brother of Eugene
ran around behind the car and fired
upon Oliphant, two shots taking ef
fect. He was brought to the office of
a physician in Edgefield and died
about eleven o'clock from the ef
fects of the wounds. Inquests were
h?ld by Magistrate N. L. Brunson
over both bodies and the usual ver
dict in such cases was rendered.
Alonza Strother was committed to
jail but has been released on bond. -
"Had the negroes owned no pistols
or had they been left at home, in
stead of being carried to church on
Sunday, the shooting affair would
not have occurred and both of the
dead would have been living to-day.
Surely this should be a lesson to
other negroes who own and carry
pistols. The habit should be broken
up.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
One Hundred Per Gent "Pep"
When your Ford car or your Ford truck doesn't display ?ts usual quantity or
. quality of "pep" and dash, it's time to* have a repairman who understands the

or repairs. And return it to you full of its old time power, "pep," energy, pull,
and service. You'll notice the difference.
We employ only skilled Fjord mechanics-men who know how Ford cars are
\ made, and how they should be kept, in order to give the most efficient and eco
nomical service. And our shop equipment boasts a great many specially de
signed Ford tools and time saving devices and machinery. In our stockroom is
a complete assortment of repair parts-genuine Ford parts-that are exactly the
same as their tough, sinewy originals in the Ford car.
For prompt repair work or adjustments, phone or drive to our garage. Don't. \
risk chances, play fair with your Ford car. Keep it in the hands of its friends?
