Big Decline in Autos At first glance along the country roads and In the towns and cities It seems that there are now in operation about as many automobiles in South Carolina a* were running last year, but according to the registration at the of fices of the State highway department, the number of cars has dropped off considerably. For the whole of last, year the total regist ratiou of automo biles was S3, 349. For this year up to March 33 the total registration of cars was 03,241), a decrease from 1921 of 20, 100 automobiles. It should be borne in mind, however, that the figures for 1922 cover only a little over two months and that there are probably many cars which arc not yet provided with 1922 plates and that hiany ears will be bought Ijefore the end of Ibis yoar. The decrease in the number of truck* for this year as compared with last Is 1,857. I.ast year the total truck regis tration was 7,197 ; this year up to March 13, it was 5.340, according fo figures from the highway depart meut. From Kershaw County there have been 878 automobiles registered in 1922 against 1,213 In 1921. Truck* ?4 in 1922, against 106 in 1921. A NoveJ Device Mr L T Stewart, manager of the fcpeedway Filling Station, has had his place equipped with a device for put ting over-shoes on automobile tires of all kinds. Old tires are cut and fitted together with wires, making a rugged tread, so that the under tires do not teoch tbe russiss surface it *s Mid gives a great deal longer mileage, service out of any make of tires. *?

C . early Monday morniiH? last while at tempting (o rob a sate In tlie store of Mathl* and Whltlook. He had prixed off the dial, stopjied tho hole with ex plosive and had gone outside to look around before touching; oft' hi* fu*e Krncst Crouch who had heard the noise from his sleeping room above, came down with a doublft barrel shot> pun and tired at him twice, the flrat Kh?t tnlclng effect In hk thigh and the second In hl9 vitals. Whoa he wii* shot Moore had a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other. A woman rownaetttiujt herself a*! Mr x. Moore wont from Columbia and Idea titled the dead safe .cracker as herj husband. Mrs. Mooro was afterward arrested and committed to lllchland Jail. The following story about her appears In The Columbia State of last Wednesday morning: A walk through a park with com panions from a girl's boarding school ; a meeting with an ardent admirer In a park; a quirk courtship and an en gagement; unyielding Objection .to the match by the girl's father; an elope ment through a window from^the school ; u hasty marriage and the?? well then, an awakening to the fact: that, her husbaDd was a safeblower by profession. Did they live happily, ever after? The husband, J. C. Moore, was allot to death at Trenton last Mon day morning when ho was In the act of blowing open ai safe and the wife is a prisoner on tho third floor of tho Richland county jail. Mrs. Moore, wbo didn't eare^o give her maiden name when seen yester day in the county Jail, is a decidect blonde of sturdy type. She says she is 20 years old and oven after having undergone during the past two days, close questioning at the haods of ottl cers who have been endeavoring to pro cure' information from her, she does not seem worn or exhausted. She smokes Incessantly, lighting one cigar ette after the other and inhaling deep ly almost all the smoke. .There was no evidence of nervousness In her be havior yesterday, but she had been given .opportunity to rest during the day. Mrs. Moore makes no objection to talking about lier career with the man who met death at Trenton while blow ing a safe. "I thought I loved him at first," she said, "but I know now there, no real love unless there is respect. "You see, I was Just a kid whesn 1 met him. I was attending a boarding school near Huntington, W. Va,, sev eral years a?o, and the authorities would permit the girls to walk out through a park. "Once when we were in the park I met Mr. Moore. I was just a kid and he seemed very fond of mo ? he was a prince to-me. He wanted me to elope with him, but I told him to ask my dad and he would give me to him. "I was tlio youngest lu the family and I guess I was spoiled. Well, dad nearly ran Mr. Moore off the place when he asked for me-r-he was suspi cious of him from the first. I was taken out of school and was kept at homo. "After some time I persuaded -father to lot me return to school, and then one night I got out of the window and went away with Mr. Moore. Since that time we have been in every state in the Union, I suppose. For n good while I did not know what my hus band dfd ? se?>. 1 wa* young and Ig norant. "'lie wns a prince to me. Never spoke a cross word to me thoughout our acquaintance and while I would sometimes get mad all over and fly off, he always was kind and consider ate1. - "My husband was always kindness itself, .but I wanted to 'leave him. I tried to make bin* jealous ? wonld let him hear conversations over the tele phone so that he would get mad and leave. But he was so kind and con siderate that I could not make up my mind just to quit him. "I really was the canse of his being arrested and serving time Id Georgia. One morning when we were In Colum bia*, Qa? he came into my room and laid $38,000 In ea*h and bonds on my bed. '1 took some of rbe bonds to Atlanta with which to buy some clothes. I was afraid to try to cash the $1,000 bonds, so I tried my band on one for $009. Ii ?ui<i tMHMljr. X was att fcrtued up over my sVccmm j aee, I wm yo*ng aw) ignorant. Then I tried to cash more ? ?

So the. talked to me- tried to flirt -and when I down lu the elevator It seemed W? the whole detective foroe of Atlanta was after mo. I squealed tfcon?thete didn't seciu to be anything else <o do. "So my biwband was sent to the Georgia peuitentUry ou a 120-year WIM tence. He served t\vo years of it yon se<\ they kopt changing lilrn from cell to' cell so rapid'? that he could not gel out.

Mrs. Moore told ol her husband's movements; of an . ne eldent that happened to the" ear she and ho wore riding In while lh Co lumbia. of his having to go to bed for treatment while recovering from Injuries and of the low state of their finances when he recovered. "Ho blew the Blythewood bnuk ayd j got $1,105 from there," she said. "At j Roberta, On., he lost his car? had to leave lu a hurry. From Augusta be did the Blythewood robbery aud then he moved to Columbia. "I had gotten him to promise that ho would quit after this season. See, safe blowers do not worlc In the sum mer?the winter is their season. "After we bad moved to Columbia my husband did the Little Mountain job atld then tried BlackStoek, but lost out there. "Then he worked Gilbert. At Gil bert he only ^ got $15? be bl?>v, the wrong tjafe and did not have time to blow the other before he bad to get away. The last Job was at White j Oak. Here he got about $5,000 in bonds, which were burned. He g<?t about $200 in money, of wbleh $1*2.50 was in gold "For the Trenton Job, he got his dynamite in Brookland. He brought it home and boiled it aud told mo he was j^ojiig In the, country. lie went to Trenton to get the bauk. Whal happened at Trenton Is well known. "He always had confidence In me and kept nothing from me." When asked what disposal was. made of bonds and stamps, Mrs. Moore said : "New cards would be gotten for the war saving stamps and they would be put ou these new cards. If the bonds were registered, they were de stroyod. If not registered, they could be disposed of with considerable ease Once after we had been away from Columbus, we returned and found that the house we had occupied hall been burued down. Deep holes were dug all about the place where people had been looking for buried money ? theyi had gotten it, too. j "Are my people living? Well, after I had run away from school, uiy father was very bitter and had forbade any communication with me. i heard from a sister occasionally, and .once she wrote me that father had a stroke of paralysis and was calling for me. I went to see him and he asked me to stay at home. I told him that if he were sick I would gladly come, but my i>1 ace was with my husband and that If he could not come to the home with me, why I would not come either, So I am Just going to see how thing's here turn out and do not care to give | my maiden name."

'J ' .1' : ? r it was my privilege to attend the South Carolina Commercial Secreta rial Association at Greenville. on the 24th and 25tli Inst., which from u standpoint of enthusiasm and splon did entertainment was a great success. After meeting ami mingling with the secretaries from other cities, X gath ered that for many a chamber of Com merce Scretary, the yea$ 1021 ami so far into 1922, has been one of dl scour agement. He haa been caught lu au ebb tide of tluaucial und civic reaction from which few cominunltles In the world have escaped; and at times he has wondered if his moorings still held. Hut there are now many evidences throughout the country of improve ment In Ununc Idl conditions, and tlio < ouseQueut quickening of business }n various lilies. Responsible government oitielnls |ud leading llnanclers do not hesitate to potut out these changes. Interest rates are lower, industries are roopenlug, ami couiflUenco has1 largely been restored. Locally we are handicapped by a "between season" period and a ten dency to grouch, and to wait to see what the other fellow is going to do. There is no more favored spot iu sftouth Carolina, or for that matter, In the United States of America, * than right here in' Oariftlon ant) Kershaw County; and if we will only realize the fact that this is no time to sit down and . croak, but hustle and keep every dollar at work, by the time another crop is made and marketed we will bo getting back t lie old stride iu busi ness once again. Timely money, and (bore is a lot of it. will come out of its biding p\aee and get to work.
