"HI" DRIVING COST
\ When you get off the concrete, High Driving
v Cost gets in. Repair bills on your car go up.
You buy more gasoline, use up more tires. Depreciation
is faster.
And that applies to any type of road that is
Less Than concrete!
Prove it? It's been proved?by government
and state engineers who have been making impartial
road tests since 1917. They have mea- j
sured?in dollars and cents?what it costs to
drive on each type of road. They've proved
that it costs less to drive on concrete
than any other type of road.
That's why '*cheap" roads are really expensive!
For the real cost of a road is the cost
of building and maintenance Plus the cost of
using it. concrete roads save money. They
cost less to maintain. They lower the cost of
automobile operation. Insist on concrete
for economy, permanence and driving
comfort.

29 Children Keep
Negro Very Busy
.
'' Quitman, Ga.?The necessity for
| feeding a family of one wife and
' twenty-nine children, pushes the efforts
of Tobe Small, negro farmer,
so strenuously that he is nearly always
the farmer in the" county to
bring in the first bale of cotton.
He arrived in town Monday with
the first bale of the 1933 crop, which
weighed 525 pounds and sold for 11
cents. Tobe brought in the first bale
in 1931 and at that time said he had
j twenty-seven children. Monday he
' said the family had increased to
| twenty-nine.
i Twenty-six persona have been beheaded,
three of them this week, as a
part of Nazi Germany's campaign to
end crime and political opposition.

my doer wife:
i have benn kidnaped by 8 wen
with whiskers and a woman, i must
be saved from death, get bltzy and
raise 1(1$ in ransom moonney at
once, they have give me until next
week at 1 o'clock to raise this ransom
and it you love me like you usetor,
you will sackerlice evevthing for mo.
i am a-feared that they will cut off
my little toe in a day or so if
ransom monney is not raised, if necessary
sell 1 or 2 of my dogs and if
that don't fetch 16$, kindly pond yore
ear-bobs, thu gold ones ypu wore at
our wedding that you inharited from
yore disseased grwmmaw.
the kidnapers treat me fairly well,]
but they won't let me as much as!
speak to the woman who cooks fori
them, she is rail pretty and i would
like to talk to her on bizness matters
perthining to cotton and bow
manny man they have ever kidnaped
befoar ami if anny of same got out
alive. it
they keep me up in the loft of a
house but i don't" know where the
house is. i was grabbed whilo slopping
the bogs last night, but don t
fail to look after them and slop them
regular; they will no doubt miss
mo while i am gone and i may newer
gaze into their grunting faces again,
one of my kidnapers looks dangerous
and totes a big knife everywhere
he goes.
?
hurry and raise my ransom and if
you can't raise it by fair means,
plese get a few small checks cashq^
and borrow 2$ from mrs. jones who
loant you monney once befoar. they
have took my smoking and chawing
tobacker away from me and it nearly
kills me to do without san}e. i wish
i only knowed where i am so's i could
have you send me a plug by air male.
i was throwed into a car front the
hog pin and we drove for 3 or 4
hours and then they tied my hands
to my feet and kept the towel over
my eyes and. put nte where i am now.
they feed me on watter and bread
and some meat for dinner and i can
hear cars passing by. so we mougnt
be close to a big road, don't tell the
poleesman; the kidnapers have put
me on notis that if i resort to the
law, you will be a wider.
as soon as you find that you can
get the monney, plese rite a letter
and put it in that old stump betwixt
the barn and smokehouse and a kidnaper
will communicate with you foi
the monney. hurry if you want., to
see me dead or alive.
yore devoted husband,
mike Clark, rfd.
Mike is Still in the Hands of the
Kidnapers
my darling wife:
my kidnapers say that >ou a\e
not yet put the ransom monney, vizzly:
16$, in the old stump behind the
smokehouse and he has made 2 trips
for same, please hurry up and raise
the monney to get me a-loose.
i have good news for you: they
have cut my ransom from 16$ to 14$
but will now give me only 5 more
days to raise same, so please get bizzier
than ever and if you can't raise
the monney by honest means, you
must get it by borrowing it at a pond
shop, pond everything in sight.
the woman in the case is faiily
good to me and if i wassent afeared
that my kidnapers would read this
letter, i would tell you that she wunk
at me last night and by that, i thort
she might hopp me to escape, she
is cute and they call her_ "sooky. '
don't lose no time, darling, or you
will find mo dead some morning m
the yard, the cross-eyed kidnaper
keeps on whetting his knife right befoar
my face and watches me all the
:me out of one corner, he looks dangerous
and i believe he is a ki.lei.
wassent for sooky. the woman, i
would possibly go hungry, she slips
me little things to eat ever now and
then, i think she will get a In and
85 brake with the kidnap monney
which you must hurry forward. i
overheard pete, the bandit, tell joe,
last night about cutting off a guy's
years in allabamma a few months
ago.
they let me come down out of the
loft a while yestiddy, but kept a towel
tied over my eyes, joe, the kid, j
has just dicktated the followering to
go into this letter: "woman, if you
love this here old runt that we have
kidnapped, you must have 1 -IS in the
stump at once, x x x x." he says them
x's means bullets for you if you don't
raise that monney.
' well, old lady, my fait is in yore
hands, you can have me for 14$, or
you can raise more monney to burry [
me with, i am d$uu? for a chaw of |
tobacker, plese send me some relief
by way of 14$ and the old stump, my
hart is broke.

Newberry Man Killed
in Automobile Crash
Newberry, Aug. 28.?C 1 a r o n o o
Shealy, 21, manager of tho West Knd
ice factory here, was killed and I key
Blalock, University of South I'aro- !
lina student, injured seriously last
night when an automobile crashed
into a telephone pole near here.
The two young men were riding
on the running board of the automobile
which.was driven by Sam
Glenn. The car hit the l>olu as it
was. driven around a corner andi
Shealy and Hlalock were knocked olV.
Three other occupants of the car, i
William Lnngford, Tom Summer and
John Livingston, escaped without injury.

by his parents, two sisters,
Kuby and Sara, and a brother, N. I.,
Jr. Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at lied Hank church, Lexington.
No Where To Go.
Atlanta, Aug. 24.?The Confederate
veterans have no place to go for this
year's reunion. Here it is harvest
time again and they simply haven't
been invited to "jinc up" at an. encampment.
And it's the first time
since Appomatox that they haven't
been asked to a party. They understand?the
few who remain. It takes
money to hold reunions and money
is scarce right now?almost as scarce
as it was when they came home after
the war, their fields bleak and their
covenant crushed. There'll be a little
business meeting here September 0-7
and a handful of veterans?enough to
hold the organization together?will
attend. Private families will care for
.some. Others will go to the home
for old soldiers. It's the best plan
possible, says General Harry Rene
Lee, adjutant to the commander-inchief
of the United Confederate Veterans.

Sumter Burglars
Blow Office Safe
Sumter, Aug. 27.?A large iron
safe in the office of the Carolina
Coca-Cola Settling company here was
blown open last night and more than
$1,200 in cash and checks stolen. In
addition, the thieves made away with
17G shares of stock in the company
and several life insurance certificates
of members of the firm. The stock
certificates are not negotiable, however.
The robbery was not discovered
until late this afternoon, when M. S.
Boykin, treasurer of the company,
went to his office. The safe-crackers
I had entered the office by cutting
j through the screening on a side win
(low. The office was wrecked by the
force of the explosion, but no one
reported hearing' the blast.
The job was apparently the work of
professionals and was probably done
| with nitro-glycerine, the chief of po1
lice, A. 1). Owens, declared. Wiring
i used to set off the charge was found
I attached to the knob of the safe door.
| The massive iron door was blown to
; bits, and pieces of steel were ombed|
ded in the walls.
Police officers were working on the
I ca?e tonight, but so far had been unj
able to find any clues to the identity
i of the robbers.
Life terms for each of the 11 suspects
in the Charles F. Urschel kidnaping
case when it comes to trial
at Oklahoma City, Okla., will be askj
ed by the district attorney.
