An unusual statement, indicating
the trend Of the automobile industry
and the prospects for success IN the
manufacture and sale Of automobiles
in the next few years, has been made
by Charles T. Jefery, general man
aser Of Thomas B. Jefery & Com
pany, makers of the Rambler.
Mr.. Jeffery says, "The success or
failure of the majority Of automo-
bile manufacturers now doing bus
mess or just entering into the field
and the success of those dealers who
handle their product, Will depen~
upon the independence of the manu-
facturer of all factors which might,
through controlling the source OF
supply for mechanical parts, limit
the production of cars Of the best
quality, and in this way influence the
sale of cars, to the disadvantage of
the dealer, and especially of the
buyer.'
'The older factories, including
ours" said Mr.. Jefery, "of course,
will not be affected, because, IN such
plants, every single part of the car
is made, and the experience and skill
of the worhmen is such that quality
is always assured. Such independ-
ence has been attained only by a few
makers who, instead of purchasing
parts from many factories and as
sembling them, have their own ia
cilities for making them"
"The car assembled from various
factories suffers in quality, and the
profits of each separate maker must
finally be paid by the purchaser
Thomas B. Jefery & Company have
solved the problem of independence

CAPITAL HIGHWAY.

We have assurance from the su-
pervisor that he will put the capital
highway from the Laurens line to
the Lexington line in good condition.
He promises that within the next ten
DAYS he will take the road from New
berry to Kinards via Jalapa which
has been adopted as the capital high
way and widen it to thirty feet and
make a first class road out Of it..
His new scrapes have been received
and with his chain gang this work
ought to be completed in very
short time. He also stated that he
would relocate the road and make a
good crossing at the Gum Spring
branch. This is the only stream on
this road between Newberry and the
Laurens line.
We are glad to know that the su-
pervisor is going to work this road
so that the Newberry gap on this
capital highway may be made as good
as the road from Laurens to Green
vile.
From Newberry to the Lexington
line via Prosperity and Little Noun
tain in many places the road ought
to be relocated and it could be made
a better road and eight or ten grade
crossings on the railroad avoided. In
many States they are doing away
with the grade crossing by act Of the
legislature and as travel increases
and as population increases, these
grade crossings become more danger
Gus and whenever possible they
should be avoided.
Between Newberry and Prosperity
the road could be so located as to
avoid all crossings of the c., N. & L..
and to have only one Of the Southern
near Prosperity. This should be
done by all means. Some Of these
crossings are very dangerous and the
remarkable thing is that there are
no more accidents.
Between Prosperity and Little
Mountain at least four grade cross
ings Of the c., N. & L., could be
avoided and much better roads made.
In laying out this capital highway
these changes ought to be made. In
this work we are satisfied that the
supervisor Will have the cooperation

commerce and Of the people Of the
county.
Another road which ought to be
put in good condition is one between
Newberry and Whitmire and while
the distance is little more, if the
road were worked between these
points via Caldwells it would serve
more people and the time between
the points would be reduced.
It seems to us these two roads
ought to have the first attention In
the county and with the use of the
scrapes and teams it would not take
very long to put these roads in
good condition.
