THE FORTUNATE CALAMITY.
“The Fortunate Calamity,” a play
presented in our auditorium last
Wednesday night by a number of
j people from Troy, was quite a suc
cess. Every actor played his part well
and the whole cast deserves con
gratulations. The humorous charac
ter, Rastus, in real life, Mr. Tittle,
was especially good. He and Dinah
appeared to assume the real super-
stituous spirit as well as the ap
pearance and peculiarities dialect of
the negro race. f
Before the play and between acts,
the junior class representatives sold
ice cream. The profits from the sale
will 1)e used to defray the expenses
of junior-senior reception.

\ James Dansby Of Troy Is
Found Dead After A Fish-

James Dansby, 13-year-old negro
of Troy, was found dead in a large
field near a branch a short distance
frem Troy Thursday afternoon with
a wound in his neck and another on
his head, inflicted either with a knife
or pistol. Another negro boy, Floyd,
16 years old, was arrested and plac
ed in jail at McCormick.
Dansby and Floyd went fishing
Wednesday morning and the failure
of Dansby to return home caused a
search, resulting in finding his body
late Thursday. Floyd told officers
that he and Dansby were attacked by
some grown men and the fish they
had caught were taken away from
them. Floyd succeeded in getting
away after he had been struck three
times, he declared, but he said after
he ran away he heard pistol shots
which he believed were the cause of
Dansby’s death.
Examination of Dansby’s body, it
'was said, indicated that the wound
in the head was made by a stick and
the one in his throat by a knife.

CONVERTIBLE SPORT CABRIOLET
SPARTANBURG, Apijil 26.—En
tering a plea of guilty to charges of
embezzlement and conspiracy and
breach of trust in connection with
the alleged looting of the Spartan
burg County treasury of nearly $750,-
000, L. G. Miller, former treasurer of
Spartanburg County and former pres
ident of the defunct Bank of Dun
can, was this afternoon sentenced to
serve five years in the state peni
tentiary. Miller left Spartanburg at
3 O’clock for Columbia in the custody
cf John Barry of the county highway
commission to begin serving his sen
tence.
The 5ndictm?nt to which Miller
pleaded guilty charged him with em
bezzling $500 000 of the county I
funds. Five year terms were as: ess- j
ed in four cases, but the sentences
w.ll run concurrently.
Miller was indicted on four com
plaints covcr’ng the same period of
time and the same transactions, but
with different defendants. In cne of
the indictments he was charged alone
with embezzlement and in the others
he was charged jointly with R. S.
Ballenger, J. W. Buchanan, J. W.
Kehoe and J. F. Parham; in another
jointly with Ballenger and T. T. Grif
fith and in the third with Ballenger
and C. B. Pool. Kehoe, Parham and
Pool are in the penitentiary now ser
ving sentences for their participation
in the crimes. Griffith is out on bond
and Buchanan is in Washington
where he is fighting extradition, with
Senator Cole L. Blease from this
state appearing as his attorney.
No disposition was made at this
time of the cases pending against any
of the other defendants. The auditors
checking up the affairs of the office
of the county treasurer while Miller
was treasurer fix the shortage at
about three-quarters of a million
dollars.
Miller completed about six months
ago a sentence of two years for vio
lating the state banking laws in con
nection with the same transactions
in which he entered his plea of guilty
today. And that was taken into con
sideration in imposing the sentence
on fcim. "j

Q U A T L I T Y A T L^O/VV C O S
FLINT, Mich., April* 29.—More
than a million Buick owners in
America will feel, a glow of satis
faction at the announcement that
England’s most expensive motor
car, Rolls-Royce, has recently adopt
ed the valve-in-head engine.
Besides confirming the judgment
of the Buick Motor Company, which
pioneered that type of power plant
and now offers it at its finest in the
Buick models, the annuoncement :s a
tribute tc< the discrimination of every
Buick owner.
This British car’s similarity to
Buick does not end with the engine,
but includes also cellular radiator,
worm and split-nut steering gear,
torque tube drive, floating rear axle,
and cantilever springs. Comparison
of specifications tend to support the
already overwhelming evidence—col
lected by 2,000,000 Buick owners—
in favor cf these advanced details of
engineering.
A point of more than passing in
terest, in the opinion of Buick of
ficials, is the fact that this British
prototype of Buick sells at a much
higher price than Buick. The ex
planation is two-fold. The Rolls-
Royce is of course a much larger and
heavier car, and naturally costs more
to manufacture. That accounts for
a large part of the difference. In
the second place, each of the features
listed is more costly than the cor
responding part in cars of cconven-
tional design. I n the aggregate, rep
resented by the completed car, the
difference becomes very great.
Rolls-Royce builds for limited con
sumption. Hence, even were the
specifications of the two cars iden
tical, Buick’s volume production
would make Buick’s price relatives
ly low. Volume manufacture alone
makes it possible to sell such a com
bination of expensive features at a
! figure within popular reach.
The British manufacturer’s an
nouncement, it is pointed out here,
also shows the European trend to
ward American ideas in automotive
engineering. That Buick’s signal
success abroad played its part in
bringing about this latest adoption
of the valve-in-head engine is regard
ed as certain.
