A lady was run down in Charlotte
the other day and fatally injured by
an automobile. She was getting off
street car when a speeding automo-
fite came along with the fatal result.
In some cities an automobile must stop
or slow up in passing street car.
TIE wonder IS some one has not been
killed in Columbia in this same way.
IF automobile drivers are not more
careful it is going to result in the pas
sage and enforcement of such str1n-
gent laws that there will be no pleas
ure in driving a car at all. And it
should be done. If these reckless dr1V-
ers have no regard for their own life
or limb they should be made to re-
spect the life and limb of others.
AS to motorcycles they seem to US
to be more dangerous than the au-
tomobile and they certainly are a law
unto themselves. Even the town or
dinance as to these machines IS not
enforced. AS to stop or speed. The
town of Newberry has an ordinance
that all self propelled vehicles must
stop at one corner, hut it is enforced
to apply only to automobiles. And
most automobiles cross the street be-
fore. they stop, Just about as well
wait until they reached the next cor
nes, And maybe a motorcycle is not
self propelled vehicle in the meaning
of the statute made and provided. And
'n the iaternretaion of the officials.

A mighty fine time to use the split
log drag. Did you see where mer-
chant in some town-not Newberry-
gave every farmer who would ride to
his store on a certain day on split
log drag a, pound Of coffee, He was
only a country merchant but in one
day he had given away some fifteen
dollars worth of coffee. The farmers
who did this received more direct
benefit than the merchant but they
were too selfish and too stingy to do it
and by not doing it they were robbing
themselves. How about organizing a
split log drag club-a club that will
work and do things-for the county of
Newberry.
