Changeable, shy, as the ways of a
maid;
Spring's Bweetest miracle, lovely and
lyrical,
Showers and flowers, and sunchlno

Making the inerry land fragrant as
~ fairy land.
Thrilling the heart with a wonder
ment new.i
Daughter and serious, moonlit, mys
terious,
April's a month that was molded
for you!" . .

HOUSE AND BUGGY FX)UND.

Aitinml Hon ted from O. W. Hmitli.
Friday ltocovored at lllaney.
Friday morning a man giving bis
name as- Sturkie rented a horse and
buggy from C. W. Smith and com
pany's Stables, making off with the
team which was not recovered until
Tuesday. The horse in tho mean
time had been sold, swapped and re
sold, while the buggy waB found
with the first purchaser. At present
tho police , are on the lookout for
the man whose real name is suppos
ed to be T. W. Held of Rock Hill.
? It seems-that-Sturkie, or Roid,~
drove through the country from Sum
tor to Blaney Friday, a distance of
something over forty miles. At that
place ho sold tho horse and buggy
to Mr. Li. B. Sessions, giving as his
reason for selling the team, the sto
ry that his brother was in trouble
in Columbia and he had to go there
at once to help him out o(,4.
UcbsIotib paid $11 0 "for horse,
buggy and harness, giving $10 in
cash and a check for the balance.
Sturkie then departed and has been
heard of no more.
Sunday the horse was located by
Deputy Shoriff Epperson, who made
a trip tp Camden Monday after
noon, -saw the sheriff -of Kershaw
county and went on to Blaney, wher
he located the buggy and harnesA
and obtained information of the
transaction. The horse had been
sold by Sessions to Robert Dorrlty
at New Brooklyn, Columbia, and by
him again to Camden Mule company
of Camden. It was at this place
that the finlmal was Tound^Tuesday.
Deputy Sheriff Epperson again went
to Camden and returned with the
horse, buggy and harness.
The cheok which was given Held
was on a Columbia Bank and was
dated April 23. It. is expected that
an effort will be made to cash it, -
although all banks lh Columbia and
of the state have been warned not
to do so. Information has. also been
sont to Rock* Hill for "the chief of
police and sheriff there to try to
locate Reid, as it is supposed that
he is a native of that place. ? Wed.

... After miihy years' oxpovUmce In

ti.jn of the country, It Is Mr. Page's
belief t tint ignorance on tho sub
If fir ^ maintenance ot"f
r<- uIb Is as much the cause of -their j

tor. It is expected that the com
p< ition will bring about a hotter

pi? r and maintenance in the rural
dt rlcts.
Many children living in the rural
dl itrlcts have experienced the dis
advantages of roadB made ImpasBiblo
through' lack of- proper maintenance
and It Is expected that their inter
eat In the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parentB.
Bad roads havo prevented many
children from obtaining a proper ed

doctors from reaching the side of
rural patients In time to save their
lives.
Any child betweon the ages men
tioned, attending a country bcJiqqI
may compete.- Only one side of the ?
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, .
age, and address of the writer, and -
the name and location of the school
