Mulllns Enterprise.
Heyward Owens, a reliable and
trustworthy negro living on Nell
Rogers' place east of Mullins, finds
himself in a father peculiar position
?the possessor of a car whose owner j
he does not know. It happened this I
iway. About two weeks ago Heyward
went fishing and while on the river
l three cars drove up to his house, all
filled wm{i white men unknown to
his family. One of the cars, a Marlon-Hadley,
with 1919 license tag,
went out of commission, and after
stripping the car of everything that
was removable and loading on the
other cars, the men told Heyward's
wife to tell her husband to pull, the
car under the shed and take care of it
until they returned and then the party
left. Nothing has been seen or
heard of the men since. Now, Heyward
says he thinks he haB taken
care of the auto long enough as his
housing room is rather limited, and
wants the owner to show up.

To the Voters of Dillon County:
1 I appreciate the action taken by
my friends in announcing me a candidate
for House of Representatives.
And the encouragement I have re ceivd
from dlffereat parts of the
county,'but to serve the people would
force me to give up my present occupation,
a sacrifice I don't feel that
I can make at this time. For this
reason I withdraw from the race.
I Yours truly,
