ODD SIGHTS
I saw a cowslip through the fence,
A horsefly in the store;'
I saw a boardwalk up the street,
A stone step by the door.
I saw a mill race up the road,
A morning break the gloom;
I saw a nightfall on the lawn,
A clock run in the room.
I saw a peanut stand up high,
A sardine box in town;
I saw a bedspring at the gate,
An inkstand on the ground,

25 MILLION FOR
AUTOS IN STATE
Number Licensed in South Carolina in
Year Was 147,530—Trucks Num
bered 15,852.
Columbia, Jan. 1.—South Carolina
invested more than $25,000,000 in au
tomobiles during 1924, representing
a substantial increase in the number
of cars purchased over the previous
year, it was said here tonight by L.
H. Thomas, secretary to the state
highway commission.
The total amount of license fees
collected during the year by the high
way department was $1,151,983.02, as
compared with $902,608.69 collected
during 1923 on automobiles and
trucks, he said, making an increase
of $249,374.33. (
Motorcycles appear to be on the
road to extinction, he brought out, the
total number licensed in 1924 being
487, as compared with 561 the pre
vious year. Marked decreases in this
class of motor vehicles ffrom year to
year have led to the prediction that
the motorcycle will eventually disap
pear, giving way to the lighter four-
wheeled vehicles.
The number of automobiles licens
ed iii the state last year was 147,530,
as compared with 116,537 in 1923, an
increase of 30,993.
Trucks numbered 15,852, a gain of
300 over the 1923 total when 12,119
were licensed. Trailers totalled 743,
as compared with 455 the previous
year. There were 593 automobile
dealers, as compared with 545 who
held licenses the year before. Regis
trations or transfers numbered 5,027,
a remarkable gain over the 1923 total
when 3,826 were recorded.
