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

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. The funeral
service was conducted Saturday
afternoon at the late home of
the deceased by the Rev. E. Z.
James, after which the burial
was made in the city cemetery.

staged in this section of the
State? Where? Gold Hill Academy.
When? April 28. Time?
Wnri nncr^oxr n m
~ vVlllVOUC?j U.UV p. Ill*
This comedy was staged most
successfully in the State of Virginia
a few seasons ago, and it
is said to have created a sensation
and won many friends all
over the State. It is deep, interesting
and historical throughout.
- Thirteen comedians and comediennes
compose this play, and
it promises to give any who may
come, two hours and a half of
the best entertainment they
have ever enjoyed. If you fail
to come no one but yourself is
the loser. No admission will be
charged.
On Thursday night, April 29,
other plays, drills, dialogues,
songs, pantomines and tableaux
will be given.
Besides the above plays, etc.,
we will have with us on Friday,
April 30, Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin,
formerly known as "Curly Headed
Johnnie." Mr. McLaurin is
one of South Carolina's brightest
jewels and foremost statesmen.
He needs no introduction before
a South Carolina audience, having
played a conspicuous part in
both the State and United States
senate. His name alone hears
testimony of a treat ahead. So
coir.e, one and all, and bring
baskets. Come prepared to enjoy
yourself. Don't forget tin

a daughter, the latter beinjr Mrs.
Joseph Tschellier, of this rity.
Robbers Got $50,000.
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
