ABOUT AUTOMOBILES.
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.

The story "Over the Top" got a little

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

that Newberry ought to be a good
place for mule colts.
