HORSE KILLED
BY LIVE WIRE
Fifteen Year Old Son of Alpha
Snyder Has Close Call While
DRIVING to Bir0n.

Sunday morning about 80 during
the wind and rain storm that was pre-
vailing at that time, caused the
Electric & Water Company consider
able trouble by cross wires ADD live
wires being broken. While they were
looking after trouble near the Grand
Rapids Brewery that morning. they
were hardly thru with their repairing
there, when message to their office
announced the III ling of Alpha
Snyder's horse at about $40 the same
morning ON the corner OF 18th street
and Washington Avenue. Mr..
shy der's Is year old son was on bis
way to Biron and ' as driving The
horse upon trot hrl he rain, and
he was bundled up an | not paying
par ocular attention to anything
along the roadway. and before he
realiz d he ran into this live wire,
killing his horse aud The shock threw
him out of hs buggy AID fortunately
he fell on the optosi side from
where the live wire was. After the
accident happened the employees of
the Company shut off the current and
repaired the wiring that had fallen to
the ground. On examination, it was
found that the GA candle power lamp
that Was hanging on the intersection
of 18th street and Washing ton Ave
nue., had been broken and fallen to
the grouE d, and while the current
was still on, the boy drove the horse
into the wire as above stated. The
immediate neighbOrs knew there was
trouble on the line at that point, on
account of the flashes of light that
would appear off and on, aDd the
alarm was given SO as to prevent any
accident, but it occurred before the
employees reached the scene of the
trouble.
While the horse was killed it was
fortunate that the boy escaped with
out injury. During severe storms
everybody should be on the lookout
for live wires that may be broken, as
i was in the above case. PedestF aims
can not be too careful in avoiding
these accidents.

rived in what was formerly Centralia

M. E. Church at Spring Green, Wis,

with the church under the pastorate
of Rev. John d. Cole and met with a
cordial and hearty reception by the
church people which will linger ia our
to remain with you.

was our church, standing then where
this church now stands. AS my men,

WEEKLY REPORTER 81 A YEAR.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-04-01

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr. Taft
would use an automobile, instead OF
carriages, during his term as Presi-
dent, much rivalry developed among
the leading manufacturers for the
honor of selling him a car, and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted hat the White
Steamer would be selected, and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
Bay, and had recommended this make
to Mr.. Taft as the mos: desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation
but with his usual thoroughness. de-
termined to have an investigation
made OF all the principal makes Ac-
cordfngly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes OF cars, visited z number of
factories. so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.
When their labors were comDleted
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-04-01

the officials reported unanimously TO
Mr.. Taft in favor Of the White, and
accordingly car OF this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers. The White Company, of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr.
Taft in Washington 4 few days be-
fore his inauguration, and since that
time 1t has been in almost constant
use. There has not been day when
the President or some members of his
family have not been seen riding
around the National Cal tai in the
new car. 1t is hinted that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling. and that when he
rides out into the open country. he
does not always insist that the speed
cf the car be kept within the legal
limits.
L. w. Cans, manager of the
southern branch of the White Com
pany, 12G Marietta street, Atlanta
Ga, said recently to a corre-
spondent OF this paper: I'VE are re-
ceiving many inquiries each day ask
ing for full details regarding the con-
struction Of Mr.. Tart's car. and in re-
ply we are sending copies of our cat
alog. Mr.. Taft's car is exactly like
any other Model M 40 horsepower

words. when we make c2r for the
President of the United States there
is no way in which We can make 1t
any better than the car which you,
or anybody else, can purchase from
us"
Some OF those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's car say that. although they
are very dcsirous of having a car like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such
a car is somewhat larger and more
expensive than they desire. In reply
to these letters point out that Our
MCuci o. 20 horsepower car is eI-
act;y like our 40 horsepower model.
except as regards the size OF the diff
fCrcnt parts. The principle OF con-
struction is exactly the same and tho
smaller car possesses all the desirable
qualities OF our larger model. In
other words. ;;nint out that they can
secure an exact duplicate of Mr. Taft's
car for $4,000. or Il car OF the same
qualities, but of smaller dimensions,
for only S20n0. Judging by the de-
mand for White cars. good propor-
tion of those desiring to purchase au-
