NEW LAW FOB

AUTO TIRES NOW
Up IN PRICE
BRUNSWICK AuTolSTS LIABLE
TO Feel PINCH IN PRICES
NS SOON.

The forty or more automobile own
ers of Brunswick have heard, or will
soon hear with feeling akin to pain,
that with the present month the
price of the tires they are every now
and then called on to buy will be
advanced anywhere from Is to 80
per cent. Inasmuch as the expenses
of auto RAINING are by no means
small as it is, the fact that hence
forth a new tire will cost some dol
lars more than in the past is apt to
put 3 damper on reckless running
even more effectively than highway
spoters or SO fines in police court.
The tire companies on account of
the great influx Of new concerns into
the field, are MT as close together
as they have been in times back,
but the understanding that the prices
are to he boosted this month seems
general,
A number of the companies have
sent out notices to the dealers in
which it is stated that tire prices
will be advanced from Is to 35 per
cent. Those companies which have
not sent out these notices have re-
fused to quote prices on tires for
delivery after July.
1t is figured by the tire dealers
that the 34x4 casing, which is the
most poular size in use, which now
sells for S43.65 will be raised to be-
tween $50 and $57. The exact prices
are being held back, it is believed,
because the manufacturers are wait
ing to get a line On the prices of
their competitors. This will cost the
owner of a runabout or other small
manchine, using this size tires, to
have to produce $500 for a complete
change of castings alone. Other
sizes, will of course, be in proper
ton.
1t means in a few words that
those who care for automobiles will
either have to forego the pleasure
which on account Of tire expense is
in the real luxury class, or grin and
pay more than they have ever before
for this item of automobile mainte-
nance.

Lyens Case Next Monday.

On Monday week the court will
again convene and this time the cases
against w. B. Lyons and his son,
Archie Lyons, wao are charged with
the murder of Fleming Smith, of Jes-
up, will be called. Sheriff Berrie and
his deputies were yesterday busy
summoning a large number of extra
jurors to appear in the case. 1t is
not thought, however, that it will be
a very difficult task to secure the
jury, as only a few people in this
county have heard any Of the sworn
testimony and most of the jurors will
be able to qualify.
Just how long it will take to try
the two Wayne county men is not
known, but it is more than likely that
the cases will be on fer three or four
days. After this case is tried Judge
Conyers will finally adjourn the
court for the term.

KILLED

TWEEN A FLAT CAR ON THE
A., q. G. A., DEATH RESULTING
INSTANTLY. =.

Ed Hill, colored switchman on
the Atlanta, Birmingham C Atlantic
railroad, aged 35, was run over an
Instantly killed yesterday. afternoon
near the south end terminals short
ly before 3 O'Clock.
The awful accident was witnessed
by two or three people 1t seems
that switching engine in charge of
Engineer Bunting, was busy around
the terminals switching ears. Hill
had just coupled some fat cars to
one or two Others being pulled by
the engine. AS soon as the train Of
cars started around the curve near
the terminals the switchman ran
alongside of one of the fat cars and
then attempted to jump on. He
placed his foot on an under rail of
the fat car and in some way his foot
got caught under one of the wheels
pulling him to the track below and
he fell lengthWise on the track. Two
of the cars passed over his body and
he was killed instantly His body
was terribly mutilated, the wheels
passing over every portion of tae un-
fortunate negro except his head. 1t
appears that he fell directly under
the wheels, with his body on the
track and his head just a few inches
from the rail.
The train was stopped as quickly
as possible and the members of the
crew rushed to t. e assistance of the
negro, but he was dead even before
the train stopped. His body was re-
mover to the undertaking parlors Of
the Moore Undertaking company and
prepared for busrial and was then
removed to his home.
Hill was one of the oldest switch
men on the A., B. & A, and the ac-
cident is deeply regretted by the Of
ficials of the road. He was a good.
hard-working negro, and had a large
number of friends among the white
people of the city.
