Tybee. the freighter left Charleston]
Tuesday of last week, aud left Sa-j
vannah on the return trip loaded j
with contraband Monday, according]
to Brown. \It is understood that:
Psome slight engine trouble was experienced
on the trip to Savannah.
The place where the seizure was
made was about one and a half miles
, above the Sullivan's island draw
bridge.
It is understood that the consta-,
bles have been working on this case!
for several days, and were warmly,
congratulated by the sheriff and j
others for the manner of executing j
their mission. A message was re-1
' ceived from Columbia stating that
Governor Manning had been commu- j
nicated with, and that the chief executive
had expressed his satisfaction.
Breaking Up the Habit.
v A specialist who has pursued his
studies with devotion, announces that
sleep( is a mere habit of the human
mind and body that may be thrown
jCfgR.r^? , t
off completely through gradual reIt
is his view that the
average man may add twenty years
of his conscious existence by dispos!
? " '
ing of his sleep habit. The cult has
progressed to the extent that many
men are now in a way to eliminate
their hours of repose, with some
show of success, but there is vast
? / complaint from their families during
the preliminary stages of the
cure. The man who has been sleep-'
ing eight hours is not enabled to;
shade the interval of rest to four j
hours without seriously disturbing
. T
his household. One wjio retires at
midnight and arises at 4 o'clock in '
the morning awakens other inmates
of his home, both on retiring and
arising. There is sotne inherent defect
in human nature that leads one
to go blundering about a house,
knocking over chairs and shaking
down the furnace, when he should |
be preserving a deep silence. For |
this reason the home treatment of;
the sleep habit is not likely to be
popular. What should be done, for
the protection of normal humans, is
to hive the sleep-habit patients in
barracks where they may strangle
sleep at will without disturbing oth-j
ers. To curious strangers the bar-;
racks would be a show place, where!
the lights would be always shining!
like beacons and where activities of J
life might proceed as at noon. There i
is some demur to the sleep treat-!
nient for the reason that it adds one|
meal a day to the requirement of i
the patient?a requirement that! .
is practically prohibitive to many.? j

JaxweU Has These Features A
Low "Up-keep" Carburetor
The carburetor used on the Maxwell was especly
designed for it after long and" severe tests
dor every conceivable condition. Economy tours
iducted by hundreds of dealers and owners In
terent sections of the Cbuntry have proved its
iciency, its quick response to throttle and its
iremely low consumption of gasoline. It has
m termed the "low up-keep" carburetor.
Irreversible Steering Gear
The greatest margin of safety has been proled
in the steering gear of the 1915 Maxwell,
e Maxwell Irreversible steering mechanism is
the expensive worm-and-gear type and its surlority
over every other type lies in its many
Justments. At no time is more than a fourth of
s bearing surface of the gear which operates
s worm in use. When needed, a new bearing
rface may be had by adjusting the gear a quarter
a turn. In short, the Maxwell steering gear
s four times the adjustment of any other kind.
