Rritered at the postofflce at Fort Mill. S. C.. as matt matter of the second class. THURSDAY. APRIL 22, 1915. ? s-s Oar Enormous Trade in Autos. At present there are about 1,500,000 automobiles and trucks in the United States. At best the figure is but#he result of a consensus of opinion among automobile men, but it is as nearly accurate as the census figures. The value of these automobiles and - trucks, again roughly estimated, about $2,100,000,000. In France, which is credited with having the most superb system of roads in the world, built at a cost of $625,000,000, a great International Road congress was sanctioned by the French government and held in Paris in 1908. So great were the effects in motor traffic on roads built solely with a view to withstanding horse and wagon traffic th it the purpose of the meeting was announced to be "The Adaption of Roads to the-Moderp Methods of Locomotion." In the United States the problem is yet a vital one only near the great centers of population for the reason that but a small percentage of the total mileage of roads is improved and the motor traffic is mainly confined to small areas of country. But the problem is becoming more important with the constantly increasing use of the automobile, and the government is viewing the subject progressively. Wilhelm Wants Ihree Weeks. Lieut. Capt, Thierl'elder, captain of the Geiman converted cruiser Krohprinz Wilhelm, has delivered to Collector of Customs Hamilton his formal request of the United States government for time to remain in Newport News for temporary repairs to his ship. The Request was made in two letters, which were forwarded to the secretary of the treasury, and their contents not divulged. It is understood the German commander asked for three weeks' time as a maximum in which to make the Wilhelm seaworthy, but that he stated he would make every effort to complete rfepairs and leave port before that time. It was learned that the stipulations related only to temporary repairs because several months would be required if all needed repairs were undertaken at this time. ?haw Back to Matteawan. Harry Kendall Thaw was ordered back to the State Hospital for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan Friday by the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court. In an opinion concurred in by all the justices the court affirmed the denial by Supreme Court Justice Page of a motion to return Thaw to the jurisdiction of the State of New Hampshire, whence he was extradicted to stand trial for conspiiing to escape from the Matteawan asylum and ruled that the original order committing him to the institution was still valid. Plans are being formulated to lake the case to the State Court | of Appeals. Wm. A. Thrower Dead. Following an illness of several weeks of heart disease, William A. Thrower died Friday night near the midnight hour at his home in the Millfort mill village, this city. The deceased was 36 years of age and a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Thrower of Fort Mill. For a number of years he had engaged in farming. Mr. Thrower was held in esteem by a wide circle of friends, whose sympathy goes out to the surviving wife and seven small children.

A dozen bandits held up a New York Central fast freight train at Sanborn, nine miles east of North Tonawanda, N. Y., early Thursday, stripped several cars of bolted silk valued at $50,000 and sped away in automobile trucks upon which they had loaded their plunder. The bandits were armed with repeating rifles and automatic pistols and fired several shots at the crew. No one was injured. A posse of detectives, mounted police and patrolmen from Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Tonawanda reached the scene shortly after the hold-up but several hours of searching resulted in no _ ? * arresis. when last seen the i robbers were headed toward J Buffalo.
