August lO.--~Busl* ness is steadily improving according to reports from the local branch of Ford Motor Company. Figures re* leased today show car sales fflV July to be 6,688, an increase of 100 caw over June, or 600 more than were re tailed in July ll>24, Truck sales aie reported for the month at 601. trac tors 1 811, an incease of approximately 10 per cent, over June or .10 per dent, over sales for July last year. Figures released from Detroit to day indicate that the Ford Motor Co. did a remarkable July business in every division. Domestic sales of cars and trucks totalled 167,626 in July, twrerding by 6,082 those of a y.:u sales of Fordson tractors were more than 3,300 greater l(han last year and 207 more Lincoln cars were delivered to cu.stomois during the month than in the previous July. , On the basis of branch reports re ceive<l early in July the company an ticipated an increased volume ofl business and while it predicted that summer buying would rise to a high er level than usual, tlhe demand for all Ford Products during the month exceeded expectation*. The outlook is for inci easing busi ness in August. One of the chief indications of this appears in agricul tuitil sections of the country, whew farmers are coming into the market in rapidly growing numbers. Evi dence of this is found in the remark able sales of Fordson Trtfri*&>rs during July. It Just Accumulates A repoter in search of a ."human interest" story asked a number of successful bankers ami business men how they rmufe their first thousand dollars. One of them replied that he didn't make it -in iany particular way. ?'It was like the old negro cook's hash," he saiid. "Some one asked her how she made hash. 'Bless you, missus,' she replied, 'nobody makes hash. It just accumulates.'" But you can't get hash unless you save the materials as they accumulate, and you can't get your thousand dol lars unless you steadily save some of the money that you earn. Claiming that she was made vio lently ill and suffered mental and] physical anguish from eating sand wiches that were "rotten," Mrs. Mamie- B. Greer of Pelzer has en tered suit for $3,000 damages against A. K. Manos, proprietor of a Green ville lunch room, who sold her the sandwiches.

My reason for not reading The OBSERVER is Name Address in-law, Augustus Home, about a mile north of Monroe, went on a rampage, slashed his wife's throat with a pocket knife, ^cut his own small child in the head, and sashed his mother in-law, Eli&a Home, as he ran for the door. His wifeSs jugular vein was severed and she died instantly. Robert Steele, another colored mqn, also was sentenced to the electric chair, the same date as McGill. . Steele early in May of 'the present ' year, killed Will Cauthen, colored, and j threw the body into a shallow creek I on the farm of W. C. Cunningham in Sandy Ridge township. ?, Steeled con fession after the body liad been found and Sheriff Clifford Fowler had run down the murdered, was to the ef i feet/ that Cauthen struck him with .1 pyEiek as he and Caiithente wife, Mary Cauthen, were going ithrough some woods about 11 o'clock at night. Steele cut Cauthen's throat and gashed his head. Then Steele and the dead man's wife took the body and threw it into a nearby creek. Immediately after court convened ?this afternoon Judge McElroy sen tenced Robert Steele to the electric chair, to expatiate for his crime for the murder of Will Oauthen of Fri day, November 6th, When Judge McElroy asked: "Pris oner at the bar, have you anything to -say why sentence should not be passed upon you?" Steele replied: MYes sir; J asks (the mercy of the. court." Judge MjcElroy replied, "It is not in the power of the court to extend mercy. You must look to a Higher Power." Mary Cauthen, for -her part in the murder of her husband, was convict ed of secohd degh^ murder, ?nd sentenced to 10 years in the peniten tiary. She is about 25 years of age, the mother of seven children, the eldest 13, and the youngest 3 yean of age. Dock Watts is her father and came from South Carolina to Union county several years ago.
