Ouzts of the Mountain Creek section of Greenwood county was rob bed and last Wednesday night the I stores of Mr. G. W. Wise and Mr. A. J. Day of Trenton were robbed by the same parties. Thus far seven ar rests have been made in connection with the two robberies, the youngest of the robbers, Vester Hays, only 14 years of age, has confessed and told everything ho knew about the affair, giving the names of those who were connected with it. Up to this time the following have been arrested, the names being furnished The Advertis er by Sheriff Swearingen: Tobe Boone, alias Tobe Hays, alias Jack Hawkins, Herbert Boone, Carl Hays, Elma Hays and Vesta Hays. As the first robbery occurred in Greenwood county, Sheriff Swearingen turned the parties over to the sheriff of Greenwood county after being arrest ed. Those who broke in the Trenton stores stole the automobile of Mr. Frontis Timmerman and went to Trenton in it. The car had a flat tire which made it easy to track. This led to the apprehension of the guilty parties. About $500 worth of mer chandise, some belonging to Mr. Ouzts and some to the Trenton mer chants, was recovered in the woods near the Hays saw mill, it being pack ed away in suit cases. The mill is lo cated on the plantation of Mr. J. Whit Dorn. All of the parties connected with this bold and very daring theft were from North Carolina. Not an Edgefield county man is in any way implicated. FOR SALE: Registered Jersey bull three years old, good size and well developed. W. W. MILLER, Jr., Edgefield, S. C. 4-20-2tpd.

They show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been built each month since January 1, 1921, and how many have, been sold to retail customers in the United States. JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH i Total Reduction showing that actual sales for the first three months of 1921 exceeded production by.80.958 Ford cars and trucks! April requisitions already specify 107,71.9 additional cars and trucks and the es timated April output of the factory and assembly plants combined calls tor only 90,000? These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce and were it not for the dealers' lim ited stocks, which are now being rapidly depleted, many more customers would have been compelled to wait for their cars. Tt will be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like prompt deliveries. If you would be sure of having your Ford car or truck when you want it, you should place your order now. Don't delay. Phone us or drop us a card. Y0NCE & MOONEY, Edgefleld, S. C. H. G.
