William Bracket, president of the
automobile company which handles the
Stearns car, in speaking of the proposed
race between the OldSmobile and the
Pope Hartford, said yesterday that he
did not believe the race would take
place. 1t was his idea that it would
be best to hold an open event. in which
all the makes might have chance to
compete. He was anxious to put in his
1907 model of the Stearns. Bracket
has sent a letter to The Call in which
he says
Now that the automobile dealers handing
out conversation money challenges. Billy Brsckett
desires TO get into the game with the Stearns,
and challenges all dealers ard manufacturers of
automobiles of every description TO contest, the
measured distance being from block TO any

No one is buying an automob bile, prefer

all the cars can be judged at the same
time. The dealers have recognized this
fact and are taking advantage of the

The piasHooa D;speasary Problem.

The County Board of Control did not
act upon the petition of the citizens OF
Pinewood who asked for the establish
ment of dispensary at that place, they
took the matter under advisement. and
before rendering a decision they will
make such an investigation as will sat
isfy them whether it is for the pest
interests of the public good to establish
a lawful place where liquor can be sold
at Pinewood, or permit the present con-
ditions in that section to continue.
The board as constituted IS not
desirous of spreading the sale OF liquor,
but it proposes to look upon this
matter in a practical business way
They know the opening ola dispensary
at Pinewood is opposed by some good:
sincere men, who are opposed to the
sale OF LIQUOR, and they are opposed to
its use, these men when they protest
against the establishment OF dlspen-
sary do so from principle, but there IS
another element not opposed 10 the use
of intoxicants, but are opposed to the
sale, from policy. II they were opposeo1
to the sale from principle, they would
also oppose its use, they would not pat
ronize blind tigers, and thus encourage
IIlawlessness, this class should have little
weight with the board. Then there Is
another class opposed to the establish
ment of dispensary at that place
because they are in the illicit liquor
trade and if a lawful place to buy
whiskey were established their ousl
ness would be destroyed.
Those sincerely opposed to a aspen
sarv being established at Plnewooc
concede that liquor is being unlawtully
sold ip, and around Pinewood now, anc
it was so sold ever since the dispensar!
law was first enacted. They even g
farther and say that the Magistrate a
that place nor the town officials DO no
attempt to prevent the Illicit trahc
they admit the evil to be demorallzlnlg
and while they are subjected to thf
evil effects from whiskey, the revenue
that would afford police protection goe:
elsewhere. 1t is therefore up tine

We have to chronicle case that
should be indelibly stamped upon the
merlory of every boy in this country
a reckless sowing OF the seed of pa1en,.
tai disobedience and the harvest OF
sorrow and pangs that has resulted
There vas last winter a circus n Nan
ming, and two sous Of MIR Il. J. Brat
ham, ot Grcelyvillc, attended il, they;
were so carried away with the tlnsel
and music that they imagined circus
was life's sweet dream, there was wlsh
it no parental restraint, nothing out
freedom. These two brothers, Arthur
and Julian, left their fathers mouse
and with the show they went. Inc
life was not as blSsful as they had I'M
agined, the association was not What
they were accustomed to: the tood they
ate was not supplied them the same as
it was in their own home. There was
no one to speak kindly to TWO boys cast
aGrift upon a cold world of their own
volition, but the step had been taken
and the stab was inflicted in the heart
of good father They did not remain
with the show, whether it was because
the work was too hard, or that the
show people dumped" them we do
not know, but they roamed from place
to place working at different things TO
obtain food. They reached Blrml,nS-
ham. Ala, and there secured employ
ment in powder mill. One day last
week the father, who Is very
hard working man. and 1t taxes all OF
his earnings to support MS family. re-
ceived 9 telegram telling him OF the
accident at this powder mill, and one
of the victims was his son julien, who
was then in an inirmary. Mr.. Brad
ham toos the first train for Birming-
ham, and there found his wayward
boys, one in dying condition, the 9th
er had escaped injury. Friday, Cap
tain D. J. Bradham, the grandfather,
received TELEGRAM announcing the
death of Julian. The body, accompa-
MED by the heart-crushed father and
Arthur passed Manning Saturday
night on their way to Greelyville, and
it was buried there Sunday.
We have given more OF the details OF
this sad affair than we usually do, but
in this day Of poisonous literature,
cheap novels, and associates that lncul-
cate the "My-Own-Man" IDEA into the
minds of boys who haven't the judg.
ment to appreciate the indulgence OF
parents, or who have learned habits
that blind them to the love and respect
due parents, such boys should remem,
Der the fate of the Bradham boys, and
when the tenpter endeavors to allure
them away from those who have made
eooriEoac of beort hnSv and mind for
them, they Will manifest greater
manhood when they cling the closer to
parents, and with them share their lot,
however humble, for the boy who
brings sorrow to father and mother
must be esernally punished--it is one
of the greatest of sins. Disobedlence
to parents is seed when sown. can only
harvest a poisonous yield, and the
