Congress did grant this privilege to them

tomobiles. admittedly one of the best
high class cars ever shown; the Great

MOTOR TRUCK CAUSES
BUSINESS TO KEEP PACE
:
Small Merchant With Auto
Big Rival to Non
Owner

The business man who is waiting for
what he deems is the perfection of the
motor truck. or the time when it will
pay or he can afford II. is acknowledg
/ Ing in the face of facts that he is
standing still. If not going back. in the
commercial world says Samuel NJ
Grim. the head of the Reliance Automo-
! bile company, agents for the Knox
Martin tractor and the Dart trucks
When the business man in San Fran
cisco. or in any other part of the United
States. tells you that he is waiting for
1 the time when the motor truck will be
a profitable investment, he acknowl-
edges the fact that he has not thor
oughly investigated its possibilities.
Away off in the island of Ceylon the
motor truck is superseding the bullock
cart for the transportation of planta-
! tion products. Disease among the bul-
locks and their slow gait has been so
overshadowed by the motor trucks put
in operation that a revolution seems to
be impending in the motor transporta-
tion in this island. The government laws
concerning the use of the roads laid
down before the advent OF the motor
truck made their use almost impossible.
Their advantages. however. have been
so apparent that 1t has caused the gov
ernment to relax these regulations and
also to embark on comprehensive poll
icy of widening roads and building
stronger bridges for the express pur-
pose of making it safe to abandon bull
| lock carts in favor of motor trucks.
1T costs 25 cents per ton per mile
with the motor truck, as against 10
cents per ton mile for bullock carts in
that country, but the certainty of reg
ular delivery and the time saved in
transportation more than offsets the
initial cost per ton.
IF the merchants in the island Of
! Ceylon, where labor is cheap and time
rot the factor that it is in the United
States. can find 1t profitable to use
motor trucks. what must 1T be In the
United States where trade competition
| is so keen
The man that has use for a horse
and wagon or truck and does not use a
motor propelled vehicle, acknowledges
the fact that he is not as progressive
as the merchant in the little far dis
tant island of Ceylon."

up along the river and around Monte

DEAD AT NINETEEN.
HerSChel G. Lacy Died Monday
OF Tuberculosis.

Herschel G. Lacy died at the home
of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Henry
Hurt. on West Seventh street, yes
.erday morning at 8 o'clock, in the
nineteenth year of his age.
SYMPTOMS of Tuberculosis devel-
oped many months ago and finally
he was compelled to take to his bed.
Through six long weeks he grew
weaker and weaker and everything
that loving hands and faithful physi
clans could do for his restoration
was unavailing and he quietly sank
to rest Monday.
Pete" as he was generally called,
was a general favorite and he had
scores of friends. He was a bright.
vivacious young fellow and babe fair
to develop into a good business
man. He got into the race two
years ago to win an automobile that
was offered as a prize by one our
business men and came out easily
the winner.
The deceased was a son of the late
w. w. Lacy. He leaves two sisters.
Mrs. Henry Hurt. Mrs. Stanley
West and two brothers, Messrs. CO.
ley and Harry Lacy.
Funeral services will be held this
at 10 o'clock at the resi-
ience of Mr.. Hurt and the inter-
nent will take place in Riverside
Cemetery.

SUDDENLY
KILLED
Mrs. Charles Miller Thrown
From Buggy at La
fayette.
HORSE SCARED AT AUTO.
Son Injured and May Lose
Use of One Of His
Arms.
HORSE SCARED AT AUTO.

Mrs. Charles Miller met her death
at Lafayette last Sunday by being
thrown from a buggy. Her son,
who was in the buggy with her, was
also thrown out and had one arm
broken. When Mrs. Miller was
thrown out her head struck a stone,
with great force and she lived not
longer than fifteen minutes. The
impact was at the base of the brain
and blood issued from her nose,
mouth and ears.
Mrs. Miller, who lived between
Roaring Spring and Cadiz, in Trigg
county, with her son had driven to
her sisters in Lafayette Saturday,
where they remained that night and
part of Sunday. Her sister, Mrs. l..
W. Pendleton, has been i'll for some
time.
Just after Mrs. Miller and her son
had started home they met DR..
Brandon in his automobile. AS soon
as the horse showed evidences of
fright DR.. Brandon came to a dead
stop, hoping that the horse would
pass without running, but such was
not the case. and the unfortunate
occupants of the buggy were thrown
out. Mrs. Miller was taken to the
Undertaking establishment of L. J.
Purcell and everything possible done
by the physicians to restore her. but
she soon breathed her last. She is
survived by her husband. two sons
and one daughter, the latter being a
student in Mclean College this year.
