MottfrUU who figure that the 4Til old bus" has done pretty well if it lasts fifty or sixty thousand miles, will be interested in learning of an automobile in use in Astoria, Ore gon, vihich has piled up a mileage equivalent to more than fourteen times the circumference of the earth at the equator. The car, which is a 11*10 Franklin, is owned and is still being driven by Walter G. Smith of Astoria; it was purchased in 1010 frpm the Omaha Franklin dealership. In 1U17, when the speedometer con nection1 broke, the dial registered 358,062.6 miles, ? the car had actually travelled. Since that time, Mr.. Smith estimate , taht he has driven the ear about 4,000 miles. Mr. Smith states that the thirteen yeai oWi Franklin has covered the trip across the continent and back three times and han been in thirty nine states, it held a record of eighteen hours between San Franc's co and I.os Angeles before the high* way was luuli between these two places. The only new parts ever put in the car, avcordirig to Mr. Smith, outside of body and fender changes, are a new set of intake valves, oil pump gear and one rear axle driye shatt. The car has the original pis tons and rings. Compression is still good and the car today makes about sixteen and one-half miles to a gal lon of gas. Mr. Smith still finds the "old bus" dependable on lonir trips despite the fact that it has arrived at a hoary old age and has chalked up a mileage approached by* but few cars. ?. ' /;? v * ?? Macon Postmaster Commits Suicide Macon, Ga., Feb. 16.? Hiller Rud isill, Macon postmaster, committed suicide today at his office by blow ing oub his brains with a revolver. The body was not discovered until half an hour after the shot was fired. Postoffice officials and close /viends c.ould advance no retison for the act. Postoffice inspectors were checking the books of the office at the time. Kudisill had held the office for one year. Wa? Short. $85,000. Macon, tJa., Feb. 8. ? The Macon Telegraph announced in its issue at, midnight that Postmaster Hillyer Rudisill, who destroyed himsqlf here ! on Friday morning,, had been found short in his accounts more than $85, 000. The shortage is "said to have been disclosed just before midnight, after a night and day investigation of Ru disillV accounts since the suicide of 1 the postmaster. The investigation is far from complete, it was learned lVum postal authorities. Inspectors air work on the case in ' dicatod that they had reported the ! shortage to the- inspector in charge, 1 Joe .Johnson, of Atlanta. They de 1 dined to discuss the matter. The shortage is said to have rep rc sented bogus stock carried in the Macon postoffice, to represent g^n j.ne packages of stamps and envel opes. It was recalled that the postoffice i inspector's had just completed numer ous items of the office, jhcluding the cash, iui.l had started on the check , of the stock carried in the offi'/e, of which there is always more than a quarter of a million dollars worth, when Rudisill shot and killed him self. j Kudisill had been postmaster only l thirteen months, prior to which time ' pe was assistant postmaster. II* had I been attached to the Macon postof fice for thirty-one years. i For many years he had charge *of 1 the s.to< k room and was said to have never taken a vacation of more than a day. He continued to take charge (?f the stock room when he was ap pointed postmaster. Man Freezes to Death. t'heraw, Feb. 16. ? Last nitfbt an unidentified man came to Cheraw on the late.

On the night of the murder, Harrj son, Glenn Treece and Frank M. ?<ef fords, the first two employees of th" filling station and the last neitied b * ing half owner, were arrested and charged with the crime. The three men were tried u few days later, all three boin^r Convicted of murder but Treece being lecom-J mended to nwrcy. Jeffords and Har rison were sen eneed to die ?.une 15, and Treece was given 1 fe imprison ment. Both Harrison and Jeffords appealed to the supreme court fo new trials, but they were den 6 1. Jeffords was resentence! to die De cember 22 after an attempt to Ap peal to the United S ates supreme court hud failed. He was electro cuted December 22, 1922. Harrison attempted to appeal to the United States, supremo court but lost, and then attempted to get n stay orexe u tion of the resentence against him, which was refused, but an appeal was allowed from the refusal. On De cember i> Harrison, lying on a cot in an apparent stupor, was resentenced to die December 22 along with Jef fords, but the appeal tsom " <"? fusal to grant a stay of execution by Justice Cothran stayed the execution of the sentence. Pending the appeal Governor Harvey granted Harrison a reprieve until February 10.

COTTON SEED 7 I wish to announce that I've purchased for distribution in this Co#unty 1,000 bush els of the celebrated Salsbufy, Cotton Seed. This is an unusually early maturing cotton especially adapted to Boll Weevil condi tions. Large bolls and very prolific and will make staple 1 1-16 inches, whict} al ways brings a good premium. See me be fore tH? limited supply is gone. J. L. MOSELEY The Widow's "Might" 'A True Story , % In 1922, Mrs. Mifctie L.

Home of Mrs, Wright mt Cough, Go. In a year when many whit# farmers vrtr* abandoning their farms, and thousands of negro farmers were leaving the South on account of inability to successfully combat the boll weevil, this widow raised more than a bale of cotton to the acre. She was ena/bled to <lo this because ?h? pro tected her cotton with HILL'S MIXTURE at minimum cost and trouble. The boll weevil didn't ?ct a pound of her cotton. Hill's Mixtur# was put on in the day-time, by her children without any machinery. HILL'S. Mix i, J RE Most Effective? Cheapest? Least Trouble Any Poison!
