DILLON, 8. C., APRIL 18, 1911.
The LiUxurlous Auto.
The growth of the automobile industry
in this country has been
phenomenal. Strange as it may
appear, the history of the industry
from the day the first automobile
was put on the market ten years
ago up to the present hour reads
like a page from "Arabian Nights"
?like a dream of "wealth gone
mad?a dream that would have
crazed King Midas himself."
That manufacturers are reaping
a golden harvest from the enormous
profits made on their cars has
long been suspected, but that these
profits should run way up iuto the
millions is a matter which gives no
concern to the man who coolly lays
tiown $1,000 or $5,000 for the
pleasure o! speeding over hill and
dale while the music Of the throbbing
motors lulls to sleep ill sense
of are and trouble.
lhat motoring is an expensive
luAuij, in wmcn umy mose who
have fat bank accounts can engage,
Is shown by a table of statistics recently
complied by ,t well known industrial
magazine in which the
profits of the leading manufacturers
are given. We quote as follows:
Walter E. Flanders started in
the automobile manufacturing business
with a capital of 1195,000
and sold out in twenty months for
$6,000,000?a profit of nearly 3,000
per cent in less than two years.
Genera IMotors, with a capital of
$16,000,000 earned dividends of
$12,000,000 net in 1909. In 1910
their dividends will probably amount
to considerably more than 100 per
cent.
The Chalmers Motor Company in
1910 declared a dividend of 30 per
cent, in cash and 1,000 in corporate
stock. \
The Reo Motor Company has
paid over 90 per cent, annually on
their stock in the last five years.
A year ago the Cadillac Motor
Gar Company was sold to General
Motors Company for $4,575,000.
The net profits of this concern
for 1910 were $3,000,444 or about
63 per cent on the amount paid
for the plant?which was considerably
more than the amount invested
by the original company.
ESvery man who buys a motor car
knows he is paying dearly for the
luxury, but still the demand Is
greater than the supply. There is
a peculiar fascination, or intoxication,
about the motor car whicli
makes the man who gripB a penny
tighter when the collection basket
is passed or haggle with the butcher
over a pound of steak, coolly
hand over his thousands for a ma
chine which he knows is being sole
to him at a profit of 1,000 per ceil
it is predicted that the price o
the automobile, like that of the bl
cycle, win drop. Probably so 11
years to come, but if it is true tha
only K per cent, of possible busines:
is being done by automobile manu
factureri io any ii will be a i^ij
time before the price of th* act'*
mobile will be .Ithln reach of fhi
laboring man. The bicycle was dis
placed by the automobile and ther
is a possibility of the automobil
being displaced by the flying ma
chine, but the possibility is s
vague that it can scarcely be con
sldered at thlB time.

and Costly Court Battle.
f Kokorao, Ind., April 8.?The last *5
. chapter has been written in the **
I prosecution against John Curless, ca8h'
. formerly a prosperous farmer, con- e88aI
. j victed of obstructing a highway
. i with a fence, defending which Cur- iBes
[ i loss lost his farm in a litigation ex- sV"e
r I tending over four years. Starting nsk
j before a justice the action was de.Icided
against Curless in the Sup
| preme Court. He was beaten in
every trial, and finally was thrown
II in jail because of his failure to jjm
pav costs. Finally an arrangement j j
I was made bj which he could pay <utje.
in installments. He has just paid . .
the county clerk $399.70. The or- g gj
iginal fine was $1. The prosecu- g^ooi
tion caused great bitterness between ^,n tj!
i Curless and some of the neighbors, t th
I bitterness, which, it is said, still rourt
| exists. it is reported that the moi1(j
neighbors once offered to dismiss uSU?i
the prosecution if Curless would tr..r't
take the fence out of the highway, n.'
This he refused to do. or
