Columbia special of June Is, to

get it's new depot. The railroad COM
mission so concluded in its decision
rendered today, in which 1t holds that

He Is a Good One.
He can do almost anything with a
piece of iron, can Machinist L. P
Jonas, of the Nicely mill. He is a
genius. Mr.. Jonas used to be only a
blacksmith" He sharpened plows
made and drove horse shoes and die
other work about the forge. He did not
claim to be anything other than an or
dinary blacksmith, and he makes very
| little, II any pretension now. But he
can and does deliver the goods. There
| are some fairly competent machnists
around The ENQUIRER office. The ma
chimes with which they have to deal
| are as complicated and as finely ad-
| justed as any in common use. Some
times a piece is broken. Mr.. Jonas Is
the DOCTOR He has never failed yet
and he has done some jobs that We
feared could not be successfully done
within a hundred miles Of here. 9th
ers have had the same experience. es-
pecially the automobile owners. Mr.
Jonas has been duplicating broker
pieces in a way that made it difficult
| to tell them from the originals. He
| is a most capital workman, and makes
good in practically every attempt.
