HA HI ICS JN WHEELBARROW,
SlraiiKfHt Tourist Equipment That
Hafi Yet Come Along.
Pushing a cdvered wheelbarrow
containing their two children, John
Leddy and his wife, passed through
Greenwood today on,their way^from
Florida to Indiana, relates the Green
wood Index-Journal of last Wednes
day. John Leddy sees nothing un
usual in traveling by wheelbarrow
and finds it just as pleasant as oth
er tourists find traveling in limous
ines, he said, as he trundled the
strangest tourist equipment Green
wood has yet seen along the streets
this morning, while the two chubby
children, Hilda Hose, aged 2 1-2, and
Irving, aged one year, slept the sleep
of the just unmindful of the crowd
that stared at their queer conveyance.
After trundling the Children over
three thousand miles by wheelbarrow,
Leddy has worn out one wheelbarrow
and has sold another. H$ and his
wife rolled the children from New
York to Florida and decided that
Florida was n6 place for them. Then
because the mosquitoes were bad,
says Leddy, they set out to return
to Indiana. Leddy insists that he
did not pick the wrong time of tbe
year to start north. "The winter
weather is not bad but those Florida
mosquitoes are," he asserted.
Leddy is ail Irishman with an in
satiable wanderlust, but, that is not
the reason he is rolling the two in
fants back and forth across the con-,
tinent-?he is rolling them for his
health because he is an "invalid,"1
he Kfsys and lie feels better after a
day's trek overland. His wife, 27
years of age, is as chipper and cheer
ful as if she rode on the back seat
of a Rolls-Royce, instead of trudg
ing beside the wheelbarrow, or tak
ing her turn at the handles.
Leddy says he fell while -painting
a house several years ago and has
been an invalid ever since. Invalid
ism doesn't interfere with the wheel
barrow pilgrimage, and the strange
household makes it way from town
to town. They sell postcards along
mmmmTTrnriwi ?
the way to defray expense*. Leddy
formerly painted aigna aikl namea
on mail boxes but hia eyesight in toe
bad for that now.
The two babiea ate chubby and fat,
with smile* and gurglea for strang
era when they an; not aleeping sound
ly, snug in their pillows and cover
ings under the oil cloth wheelbar
row U>p, The wheelbarrow family
will linger in Greenwood a bit, then
> trundle its way north, leaving the
mosquitoes of Florida behind, and
returning to the cold of Indiana for
the winter. The rigors of winter and
the snow-banked hijfhways have no
terrors for the invalid trundler and
his family?they are free of all wor
ries; they care little for the rise in
the cost of living and house rent;
they only smile over railroad strikes
?John Leddy and his wife possess
a wheelbarrow and two babies, and
art- happy.

Hough Hoove at Monroe.
Hough house wmi raised last night
(Sunday) about the supper hour, by
two young Jefferson, & C\, men. It
appears th^t Hazel Funderburk, a
few moments before, had slapped
Bud Poer, ? Monroe colored youth,
in front of the cafe, and upon going
inside he u^ted vile language where-,
upon Mr. Clarence Helms,, of Mon
roe, re mount rated with the man who
appeared to bi\^'liquomi up." Fun-,
derburk pulled' his gun. About that
time Policemart ^rneit Barrett ar
rived and drawing his gun demanded
the South Carolinian to drop his
which he did, denying the ownership
of the gun he had just loosed. Then
it was that Oeorge Gregory, ran in
and pulled an automatic pistol, Sher
iff Clifford Fowler, who had just
arrived, grappling with him. Greg
ory had on his gloves and had not
the gun caught in the glove blood
shed might havo resulted. As it
was the man was struck two or
three timeH before he would release
his weapon. Both men fought and
were abusive and were manhandled
by the officers before they were sub
dued and placed in jail. Liquor was
found in their Ford car and the car
is now in hands of officers. War
rants were sworn out against the
young men for carrying concealed
weapons, resisting arrest, transport
ing, as well as a Federal warrant.
Bond was given this morning in sums
of $800 each to appear before the
recorder on December 11th, 'and of
$300 each for a hearing before U.
