(By Matthew N. MitcheH^ Some persons have a strong propensity to steal, and claimed by some to be ihresistable; still it does not constitute legal irre sponsibility. This is called klep tomania which means a mania for stealing, and a person so af fected is called a kleptomaniac. The person so affected in other respects, may be perfectly healthy both in body and mind. A klep tomaniac, though he may possess everything that heart could de sire, will steal every time there is an opportunity to do so. Something akin to this is the strong, and seemingly, almost ir- ? resistible propensity of many tc' own an automobile. I reckon thi: might be defined as antomania o. auto-craze. An automobile these automaniacs must have, and som? of these maniacs, I verily believe would steal so as to have tht means to buy an automobile, iii thpv otherwise could not find thi means to get one. There is ont ?.thing certain, if some of these au rtomaniacs should accidntly crash into some buggy or wagon and they called on them for damage? they would'cling to their mone\ more tenaciously than a leech ever did to an agnatic animal to j suck out its life blood.? And who.J blames them? If they should l l part with their highly prized spondulix, wherewithal should they have anything left to buy gasoline to run their much be loved auto, much less to keep my dear,- dear auto, in first-class re pair, and besides, when 1 come to think, there is a great, great war in Europe, and ii is bringing on "us hard, hard times. In the near fu-1 ( ture'there bids to be a terrible fi nancia! stringency and ! must be J i careful to set my face like a flint 11 against everything that calls foi anything outside of my pleasure, I i and what* pleasure is there to compare with the seductive pleas ure of speeding my beloved au to. This auto craze is so power ful that one of these maniacs willie part with ' houses and lands, and forfeit thc friendship of his dearest friends in order that they may 1 come hito possession of this great-l i est*f)f treasures. Me is like the mari who found the pearl of great iricc. He fecis that he must sell lr t 'brything that he bas, and go and I s buy lt. ; h Ltf .others come, let them go, J S Lef them make a big show; But the miles mustn't move slow, For I'm,?n my big Auto, Must ?pin so-so, so-so. in the estimation of the auto m?niac there K no day like the Sabbath for rest and recreation; but he must not find it in going to church. No, that would never do. ? He might hear, something there that would put him to thinking, reak up th mind. Rc might lhere bear! Department af a Bal? :hance house had a d to Duy fifty shares nt stock. While thc manager called up the jent on the ?ell Long md secured the stock. _Lr_J - utuvuy ucAL uay. often made by the ce. -smile ELEPHONE COMP?NY something on some serious sub ject and his conscience might be aroused, and he might be com pelled to do some awful thinking and that would never do; for hi: mind must not be kept on such a strain, lest there be a nervous breakdown. On that day he reasons, mind and body must have rest, and he must not think on anything that would be likely to destroy the enquanimity of his mind. He wishes to rest in car nal security. Such subjects' af death, the j'trt^ment and kindred subjects are particularly distaste ful to him. Formerly he loved to hear such subjects discussed. taut not now. So he gets into his au to and turns his mind to light and trivial things. If he reads at all on this day, this reading, must bc of a light and dissipating nature But he thinks the best way in thc world to enjoy himself on thc Sabbath is to get into his auto ant peed away, thus the cooling >reezes fan his face and the effec,' m him physically, is most salu ary and healthful ; for God ha* rommanded to remember the Sab tath to keep it holy, but this in stead of keeping it holy is dese .rating it. Besides this his aut< nay be" the Source of ar. almos', ntolerable ' annoyance to sonu .?/hom he happens to meet or pass, oy. the great clouds of dust tha :t raises, while at the same time, ;ome who are on their way to 01 froth church are kept in a con stant state of dread for fear he may run into their buggies and :ripple them or cause their horse: to run away. This auto-craze is the" cause ot. \ nany forsaking the house of God 1 jn the Sabbath day. Here is arr \ ?xperience of a cit;.- pastor as he ?elated it: He had been accus tomed to preaching to large Sun lay evening audiences in his :hurch. Stiddenly he discovered he? c-was TL fearful ?al??g off in he size of his congregation. When nvestigatioh was rrraJe as tu thc :?use of this falling off, it was ourtd that 80 members of this :htirch owned automobiles ?nd nstead of attending church ser vices on Sunday evetiingc they vere out riding in their automo biles. It is a notorious fact that many iistressing accidents have been :?used by automobiles, and most >f these accidents might hs.vc >een avoided if the owners ot hese machines had been a little nore cautious in running them.,.In i; great many instances autoists tm their cars at too ?great a fleed in passing teams and vehl .Jes. The autos in such instances hould never be run at fi greater fleed than 8 miles an hour. There ire several reasons why this nould not be done. Sometimes th auto is about to meet a vehicle a * part of the road that is too l?rrow for the auto to psss the vehicle without danger of running nto the'vehicle QT frightening the mimai which is hitched to the /chicle. Time should be. given ,o that the animal and vehicle nay reach a wider place m the .oad. Sometimes there is danger if an ?tuto meeting or overtaking vehicle where there may bc trees by th roadside. Should trees or stumps by the roadside, if the animal or animals, as the case may be, should shy, lhere is danger o', running against a ?ree. Time should be given to enable the driver tc get away from this jangerous place. When meeting or overtaking! an animai o; team, the auto * is more likely to frighten a team when running at a high rate of speed than a low one. Some ani mals are slower or more hard mouthed (lian others and are harder to turn out of the road, for ihis allowance must be made. If a man does- net get out of the way as quickly as "you thinkMie ought to have done do not be too has ty. You vere not there and did not have held of the lines, lt may have bfien a bigger job than you imagined. If you should think he v/as too slow, do not be too rash and condemn him. The time, may have been shorter than it seemed to you * to have been. Make some experiments. Note the approach of an automobile, its speed and distance and the time it takes for it to reach you. Make a few steps and sec what you could do in the mean time. Always make due allowance for the time it takes a man to get out of the way. ? Always drive slowly when driving by a horse that stands close to the road, the dust raised by you is not only annoying but it penetrates the house and spoils its contents. lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO; j I ' ? ?i, b Pendleton Newe Dots. o 1 o o 1 bc ooooooooo o? o o o o o ! * (Written for The Intelligencer by pupil of Pendleton High School.) The Ladies Missionary Society of Pendleton Methodist church met at the parsonage Monday af ternoon. Mrs. A. Wilson was called io Spartanburg Sunday morning on account of the death of her broth er, Mr. George Shanklin. Mr. Augustus Martin, who has been here for a while visiting friends and relatives has return ed to his home in Greenville. Work is progressing rapidly on the new Presbyterian manse, which , is to take the place of the one destroyed by fire a few months ago., . The Ladies' Civic Association met Wednesday ufternoon for the purpose of electing new officers, Miss Mary Bell Crawford, who is to be married next Wednesday at the Episcopal church is visiting friends and relatives here. Miss Sallie Hunter, wno is to be one of the attendants at the Mc Phail-Willingham wedding of next week, gave the bride-elect a pret ty miscellaneous shower on Tues day afternoon. The presents which were numerous and beautiful wen concealed behind a large screen in the ha!!? and just as the bride was about to fish for them the guests showered her with rice, which was tied up in little paper bags, with pink and green ribbons, these be ing used as souvenirs. In the dining room, which was beautiful er decorated in green and white, ?e?icious cream and cake was served. IN?ii TRIBES HAVE MANY DiFRC?L'?IE FREQUENTLY THERE AR STRAINED RELATIONS WILL COME HER Navajos and Sioux Indiana Dif fer and Quarrel ou Weather Questions. V. ' ' ' The Sioux Indians with the lol Ranch Wild West, which exhibits in Anderson the coming Tuesday, October 27 are said tb be alter nately jubilant and depressed. When the sun shines they are hap py. When the skies are dark'and threatening, or the rain falls, they arc dejected, for they feel they haye lost favor with the Sun God. There is a congress of Indians with the show, and they have been selected from many different tribs. The Sioux, however, are he only ones who worry parti ularly about the weather. Per aps pride, as well as superstition las something to do with it. There are 86 Sioux in the con? ress of "Red Men"-and they oined-the show in New York, hey came direct from the Pine <idgc agency. Their arrival was big evejit for the other Indians. ? hey wore new blankets and their ead dresses had new and brilliant y dyed feathers in super-alnm an^e. Their head decorations ere also indicative of high ?tand il g in thc most exclusive Sioux ocicty. The Poncas, the Cheyennes, he Navajas and others among he earlier arrivals gathered round the entrance to the big how to welcome the new ar ivals. The latter ignored the reelings. Moreover, bebrfe they vould pass through the, enhance nto the arena, they insisted on oing through a mysterious cere lony and placating the Sim God. n this way, it was declare*!, by .one Feather, one of the "old hiefs, the show would be sure to ccure sunshine and warm-'weath t f That night the rain fell in. tor ents. The next day there Was bother appeal to the Suri God. ince that time there has'; been rain ith annoying frequency, until the; ast week or two. Among the Indians with .the how are two or three families of blanket weaving Navajos. The) are an agricultural people. The) , enjoy the rain for the sake of theil J crops at home. The Sioux discov ered this and concluucd that flu Navajos had been soliciting Un ', good of?ce.s of the Rain Goi Hence thqre grew up a strained feeling between the representa tives of the two tribes. This feel lng still continues. They refuse tc mingle and it requires all the dip l?matic arts of Joseph U. Miller the head of the lol Ranch exhj bition, to prevent an Indian war Probably now that the weathe has become more settled, thc ill feeling between the two tribe will disappar. The Indian congress is a mos interesting features o' ie will west show. The India*, are liv ing in their tepees and wickiup within the wild west enclosure and their lives and habits may b studied under the same condition as exist on the reservations. Ther are said to be some remarkabl riders and rifle-shots among them Princess Wanona, of *. the Chev enne tribe, vies with son>e of th most expert among the scouts an cowboys as a crack shot. Edit Tantlinger, another Oklahom Indian girl, does some remarkabl shooting stunts with clay pigeon: Many of the Indian braves, c; specially among thc young Siou: warriors, are as expert with til lasso as the cowboys atid Vai queros.. It is interesting as a study i ethnology to see the difference i the physiognomy of the diffcrei tribes. There is also a mark? difference in their methods of lr ing and the way in which thc dress. The Northern Indians,mart themselves gay with feathers-tl Southern Indians eliminate, tl feathers ?nd wear gaudy blankel i The Pueblo and Navajo India are especially distinctive owing the peculiar Dutch-cut style ; wearing their hair. ?The Nava Indians with the show are enga ed in weaving blankets during t day, and this proves an intere: ing diversion to visitors to t show. The men of the tribes e hibit their artistic cleverness the malting of German ornamen IThe Indians are introduced the show, in sever?T of the 1 numbers. They illustrate the ( time mlhod of Indian attack up the settler's camp and other h tori; events, and they give ma of their characteristic . dane They arc also utilized in'the W West parade on the openi morning of the big show, wh will be in Anderson next Tu flay, October 27.
