What we don't know about auto - j mobiles would fill several volumes, j So long as the engine works good and j tlie tires don't get punctured an.1 everything else runs well, we can drive III as good as any one, but then | they tell us that it is not an auto- : mobile, but simply a Ford. Well, whatj we want to say is ti.at the Carolinij Auto company sent us an ad the othe". day for a Sensible Six Oakland, but! only sent the picture of the car ex-! pecting us to use a cut which we sup- j posed we had, and the company took it for granted that we had, but in /ooking up the cuts it seems that we . got a cut of a Dodge. The Carolina man didn't like it because we adver-j tised a Dodge as an Oakland, and the i Dodge agent didn't like to have a j Dodge cut with an Oakland adver- j tisement, and so there you are an.1' where are we? And we bet our last! summer straw hat that 99 out of j every 100 readers of the paper could' not tell the difference. We told one /of the men that we frankly admitted that we didn't know j the difference, requesting him to j come and verify the cut, that we were ! in the same condition as the hoy who drew a horse and then wrote under , his drawing, "This is a hoss." The j only thing we can do is to print the j ad again and apologize to both, and I frankly admit that we don't know] one car from another, even when we , | eee the car, much less to try to tell j by the picture. The best thing for these gentlemen ! to do is for both to run an ad regular- ! Jy and write on the cut which, and then we'll put them right. i Both seem to be good cars. We don't know which is the better. Both have clever representatives in New- ' berry. - i The advertisement of the Carolina Auto company in our last issue of an Oakland carried the cut" of a k ^--~t>odge.'

ENT ? A BOLD EFFOlfT TO BllEAK INTO 'DWELLING. I On {Wednesday ni^ht there was some j excitement near Kinards on the line ; between Newberry and Laurens by \ ( the efforts of a negro to break into t the home of Mr. Andrew Merchant ' who lives just on the Laurens side. ' ? The negro was caught and identified j l as Mc Smith alias Mack Simpkins and j - gotten away to the Laurens jail 'oy j i ! Rural Policeman Abranis and Magis- ! ; i r trate Cannon while the neighbors 1 were gathering and possibly for th-i efforts of these officers some drastic i measures may have been administer- j - ed to the negro. t He went to the home of Mr. Mer- i 7 chant some time after Mr. Merchant ! > had retired and called him o.:t ana j !? toM hiai that Wait Cromer told him s ro can:ft ana say Mr. ueo. .viur- 1 - chant was very ill and that he shouJn f come at once. Mr. Merchant had l?een to the hospital and Walt lived near 3 him and the story was plausible oO i Mr. .Merchant hurried to dress and 6 ?ret "his mule and go to his brother. I ? When he arrived he found his brother t in bed and doing well and also found 9 that Walt had sent no such message t? tta i?* u??.n:A.T u^^-u ^ i m-imeuicuciy u?ck uuiiie tu t {ind that as soon as he left the negro i called to Mrs. Merchant and demandI ed that she open the window and let him in. She refused of course an-1 - then he demanded that the dcor be > opened and threatened to break it open. Mrs. Merchant got a gun and snapped it at ine negro urn, it iaiieu to go off. She screamed and Mrs ? Lee Hembre, who lives near hear.i - her cries and got her pistol and be. gan to fire it as she approached the ; house and the negro was frightened > away. A number of friends and neighbors - gathered but as stated the negro was r identified and hurried to the jail i otherwise he might have oeen deaii ? with summarily. The negro it is said i goes under two names and has contracts with a number of people under both names. At nresent he lives on Mr. Rerienbauo-h's place. The farmer who is raising mulo j colts is also displaying gopa horse sense.?'Anderson Mail. It appears that Newberry ought to be a good place for mule colts.
