AUTO LICENSE IN 1911.
Many Persons Secure Latest Vehicles
for Transportation Despite Hard
Times.

Despite the reported hard times the
automobile trade in this county was
extreemly brisk during the year 1911.
The number of self propelling motor
vehicles registered in the office of the
county clerk Of court during the past
year was one hundred thirtv-six.
sixty-one less than the total of what
had been registered up to January 1,
1911.
1t seems from this showing that
there are quite number Of persons
in this county who have found the
automobile the quickest and most
convenient, or most luxurious We
hlcle, for going about in and they
have accordingly adopted the auto
mobile as a means Of CONVEYANCE
suitable to themselves. Sumter coun-
ty has always been one of the coun-
ties leading the State in its number of
horseless vehicles and it seems that
1t is determined to keep among the
leaders.
The total number of automobiles
and motor cycles registered up to the
present time is 336, three of which
have been registered during the year
1912, and 1877 Of which were regis
tered before the year 1911 was usher
ed in.

Columbia, Jan. 5.-Loss variously
estimated at from 100000 to $780,
600 was inflicte. by a fire which
cleaned out the heart of Columbia's
wholesale district in West Gervais
street today
An easterly breeze sent the flames
rushing from the plant of the Gibbes
machinery Company to adjacent
structures all of which were occupied
by wholesale firms. The loss as a
rule much exceeded the insurance
protection. The buildings totally
destroyed are those of the Gibbes
Machinery Company, The Southern
States Supply Company, Armour and
Company, the warehouse of Moffatt
b. DuPre Company, with three small
residences. The wholesale concerns
which suffered damage by fire or
water, or both, were f. A. Beall COM
pany, j. D. Mott, II. G. Werts and
Co., the drug store of DR.. f. S.
Earle was removed, suffering a loss
Of $1,000 by removal and water dam
age.
The heaviest loss falls on the Gibbes
Machinery Company and it's SUBJ
Sidiary companies, the Columbia
Machine and Iron Works, and
the next heaviest loss is that of the
Southern States Supply Company.
The ,Gibbes Machinery Company has
branch houses in Charleston. Will

The fire is thought to have started
from heating boiler in the repair

The Prophecy of Zacharias.


The Prophecy Of Zacharias.
st. Peter distinctly tells us respect
ing the Old Testament Prophets. that
Holy men Of old spake and wrote as
they were moved by tho Holy Spirit"
that frequently they uttered deeper
and broader truths than they them.
selves comprehended.
This is true of the prophecy Of Zach
arias, in this lesson. Verses 6S-7O con.
stitute the first division Of this prophe-
cy; praise to God. To Him all honor
and praise are to be given for the full
fiiment Of His gracious promises of
old, ''for He hath visited and brought
redemption to His people: He hath
raised up horn of salvation for us in
the house Of His servant David"
Here. after the usual manner of
prophecies, the thing about to be &C.
complished is spoken of as though It
had been done.
AS John the Baptist was born but
six months before Jesus, 1t follows
that the begetting. of Jesus had already
taken place at the time of this prophe-
cy. The Holy Spirit spoke Of the
things begun, but not yet accomplish
ed. as though finished: ''He hath visit
ed add brought redempfiof Tor His
people,
This word redemption applies not only
to the redeeming work accomplished
by Jesus in the conservation Of Hi,
life at baptism and down to the com
pletion Of His sacrifice at Calvary. but
1t is comprehensive enough to take i'm
all the work Of reclaiming humanity.
Osliverance From Enemies.
The second section or strOphe Of this
prophetic poem runs from verse II to
70. 1t relates to the deliverance of
Gods people from the power of their
enemies. One important thought here
is that none but Gods people will
ever be delivered from the enemies
here referred to.
During Messiah's reign Of a thou
sand years. when all the blind eyes
will be opened andsall the deaf ears
will be unstOpped, and when the
knowledge Of the glory of Gods char
acter will be clearly revealed and the
hOrribleneSs Of sin be manifested
then many. now led captive by Satan
at his will. will bow the knee and con
fess to the glory Of God.
In other words, as Jesus said, His
consecrated followers are His little
flock" Of the present time. But during
His glorious reign He will gather an
other flock AS He said. "Other sheep
| have which are not Of this fold
them also l must bring, that there
may be one fold and one Shepherd"
