A "SWELL" TIME. In Which a Newberry Boy Figures in .ab-e City-It Ought to Mobi.e, But Didn't. Lake City (Fla.) Index. "Gol durn it, Lott Johnson, dou't yer know no better'n to run a blame steam engine up the street," was the greeting given an enter prising citizen of Lake City who decided to invest in a horseless carriage and put on airs. And then the way folks 1.. out in a streak behind him as he "cavorted" up town from his iron works and put his steed in the stable. And thereby hangs a tale It ought to mobile, but didn't. l an evil moment, and with a desire to cut a wide swath and be thought of and talked of in the community. four good men feil into temptation. C B. Martin, of Newberry, S. C , and R. T. Boozer and Edgar John son of this place accepted the invita tion of Lott W. Jrtresto go hunt ing. Nothing would be so "tony" as to go out in style. But coming back was to be another story, as the "best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee." With banners streaming and en gine pumping, on the day betore Christmas, the quartette started out. After getting about four or five miles from town, with Boozer and Martin sitting on the rear seat, the latter observed, "This place is getting-warm, Johnson," and investigation developed the fact that water was running powerful low in the tank, in fact there was none there at all, but there was a well hard-by and near a school-house, from which they filled up with the needed aqua pura. Then for the hunt. All day long they shot and at nightfall counted six quail. The law allowed them forty-four more, but these were non est comeatabus. "As the sun began to sink behind the darketied West," to use a much-abused expression, it was de. cided to start for home, and ther there was more trouble. There wa. a scarcity of gasoline-and ter miles to travel. By walking and otherwise assisting the inferna' machine, ('whispering w-rds o! love', in the meantime,) the hunter! were enabled to get within tw< miles of Lake City, and then Mar tin and Boozer decided to leg it t< town and send out a relief corpi with the needed heat-producing Ii quid, sometimes used in Jasper aut caled kerosene. Edgar Johnsor got the -motive power needed ant. arried it out in a wagon, and th<( machine arrived, h ome, but it i.s said that the language used at tinme: on the journey wouldn't look well in print.
