AUTO INSPECTION COVERS 4 POINTS Columbia, January 24.—Highway department officials assured the house roads, bridges and ferries committee today that there was no basis for re ports that the comjplulsiary inspec tion of private automobiles, to begin soon, would embrace more than the four points required under the new law. James Porter, disbursing officer of the highway department, appealed before the committee aifter some members told of the reports. Porter said that only brakes, lights, horn and sterring gear would be tested. Porter expressed doubt of the truth of some reports that the in spectors were recommending ga rages to correct faults found in mot or vehicles. “If we catch one man even nam ing a garage, he’s fired right then,’* he asserted. SICK, NERVOUS PDAIIIfV“ EVERY 9 UlfAMV! MONTH” ■ We are in receipt of a Jackson, .Miss.) paper sent by John T. Suber, a native of this county, in which we find the following item. On account of the old fighter's connection with Wade Hampton the item will be of interest to our readers: “Witnessing the inauguration of Judge Paul B. Johnson as governor of Mississippi Tuesday will be the only person living who saw Abraham Lincoln inaugurated as president March 4, 1831. “A devoted champion of great causes since he wore a red shirt with Wade Hampton in carpetbagger days, Col. Jim Walton today seeks to make the grave of General Sam Dale the center of a national shrine. “He has enlisted the aid of Sena tor Theodore G. Bilbo in his campaign to pay belated honors to the great state Indian fighter, and with Bilbo in Washington the General Sam Dale chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution as espousing the project in Mississippi. Col. Walton still wears a red shirt that recalls those epic days of 1876 when he battled side by side with Hampton to free the South from Yankee reconstruction rule. “Walton, who says he cast 15 votes for Hampton in the November elec tion of 1876, declares: ‘I stood by Hampton’s side when he took the oath of office in Columbia, S. C., on the first Monday in December, 1876, and next day fled the country to keep from wearing nineteen stripped suits that Uncle Sam wanted to give me.’ “Col Walton was born in Westmore land county, Va., August 31, 1852.” 8 Inches of Snow Snow which began falling here a little after six o’clock Tuesday morn ing had reached a depth of about eight inches by noon.

Wednesday morning broke fair and cold with evidence of slight snowfall during the night. Then Read WHY Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Real “Woman’s Friend”!
