oil organization has built in that time about
forty-fve thousand locomotives.
Long before the other builders or motor
trucks dreamed OF the possibility Of such a
thing we had collected and classified a
great mass OF data on the structural
stresses of steel and similar metals. This
we had collected in the process Of building
locomotives. There is every reason in the
world why we should build better motor
trucks than anybody else, because we know
more about II.
"A truck Is simply a locomotive indepen-
dent of rails and a locomotive is simply a
motor truck equipped to travel on rails. In
other words, we have been movers OF the
worlds goods for half century. and We
propose to supplement the locomotive on,

Card From Maj. Dibble.

Mr.. Editor: I ask the privilege Of
the columns Of your paper to most
heartily express my gratitude to the
many kind friends who stood by me
in my campaign for Probate Judge
of Orangeburg County, and who by
their support brought to me success.
That I did not have the pleasure of
moving more freely among the peo-
pie, as it was expected that I should
do is a source Of genuine regret to
me; but as I held public Office in
Orangeburg city, which called icr al
most constant demands, felt that I
should not seek the advantages of
my own personal aims at the expense
of the public interests under my
care. I did, however, as opportunity
offered, make brief visits to several
sections of the county and was al
ways kindly received by the people,
and was specially gratified to find
that those who knew me best when
served as Master some years ago
were almost universally glad to give
my candidacy their support.
I shall enter upon the work to
which have been called by the vote
of the people with a kindly feeling
for everyone, whether or not they
supported me in the campaign just
closed, and with sincere desire to
mete out justice in all cases coming
before me, and to discharge all the
duties imposed upon me by law in
such way as will command the con-
fidence and esteem OF all classes of
our people.
I thank you, Mr. Editor, for en-
abling me to place these expressions
before the people.

Fell in Open Well.

Mr.. A. R. Byrd, a prosperous
farmer w..o lives near Branchville',
came very near losing a fine horse
Tuesday morning, when the animal
fell into twelve-foot we'll in the
field, where he was ploughing. The
horse stepped close to the open we'll
when large part of the ground
around it caved in and the animal
was precipitated to the bottom. AS
it fell it rested on it's launches with
it's head up so that the water con-
tanned therein did not get into the
nostrils. Mr.. Byrd hurrIedly came
to town, got some hands and rope,
went back, dug out trench and
with the rope succeeded in taking
the horse from the we'll. 1t came
out not much the worse from the ex-
perience as no bon.s were broken
and only a few scratches had been
suffered.
