MOTORCYCLE SALES
HAVE BIG INCREASE

Modern in every respect is the equip
ment installed by the Bicycle Supply
company. which firm has just moved
from 64 West Broadway to its spacious
new headquarters at 34S South State
street.
According to C. W. Brewer. manager
of the Bicycle Supply company, the
sales during the present auto show far
exceeded the expectations. Mr.. Brewer
makes a speciality of handling the Ex-
celsior autocycle and such accessories,
including magnetos, carburetors, brakes,
chains and saddles, as are necessary to
make up thoroughly modern business.
Everything in connection with the
new headquarters of the company is
strictly up to date. One feature that
has been installed by the company is a
service station for the benefit of Gus
toners. This service includes the care
of all Excelsior cars by q thoroughly
competent mechanic. AS to supplies,
the Bicycle Supply company has in
stock anything that may be required
for motorcycles and bicycles.
One OF the great features of the Ex-
eelsior autocycle is the two-speed gear,
which eliminates all well-known clutch
and gear troubles. So great has been
the demand for these modern cars that
orders are being rushed through from
the factory for the local trade with all
possible haste. According TO wire re-

ceived today from the factory by MI
Brewer, a carload Of machines left
Wednesday for Salt Lake City.
In addition to the Excelsior autocycle
the company handles a complete line Of
bicycles, including the well-known Ex-
cclsior and Pierce wheels. Two carloads
Of these wheels have Just been re-
ceived, The display at the auto show
attracted unusual attention. On display,
in addition to the Excelsior autocycle
and bicycles is an excellent display of
various parts of machines.
The 1914 Excelsior autocycle is built
in seven distinct models, each being de-
signed to meet some specific require
ment. Another feature of this ma
chine is that the rider is enabled to in
stantly control the speed, come to full
stop and restart without removing his
hands from the grips. This feature is
particularly advantageous when the rider
is passing through congested thorough
fares or sandy and rough roads. The
lines of the Excelsior are also espec-
tally commendable. The machine is 6n-
ished in Excelsior gray with red panels
and maroon border and gold stripping.
All exposed metal in this machine, with
the exception of the crank case, is heav
ily nickeled and huffed.

SUCTION CLEANERS
DID GREAT WORK

There was one modest little battery
of automobiles at the show last
week which was busy every minute and
which did a great service In keeping
the showroom in the "spick and span -
condition which it invariably had. That
battery was n battery of Hoover Sue
tion sweepers. These handy little
vacuum cleaners were used entirely IN
keeping the floors cleaned-and they
did the Job remarkably well.
G. +. Giese, the local agent for the
Hoover, was the owner of the machines
used at the show. Mr. Glese was on
hand to superntend the operation of
the machines. They attracted perhaps
more attention from the women visitors
at the show than the automobiles did.
AS direct result Of the practical dem
oustratlons made there with the Hoov'
er, Mr.. Giese has sold number of them
to local housekeepers.
The Hoover is a compact little ma
chine, running on two wheels. and is
about the size OF an ordinary old-fash-
ioned carpet sweeper. A bag attached
to the handle holds the dirt picked up
by the machine. The Hoover has many
exclusive features, among them being
the soft hair brush which revolyes
Just inside the opening where the sue
tIon operation takes place. In cleaning
carpets the part directly under the ma,
chine is hfted up by the vacuum and
then brushed, thus insuring a thorough
cleaning for every inch of the carpet
Attachments are provided for cleaning
walls and draperies

PETTY HEADLIGHTS
ATTRACT ATTENTION

Petty dirigible headlights attracted
az much if NOT more attention than
the majority Of new equipments on ex-
hibition at the auto show, From morn
ing to night crowds may be seen in
specting the new patent, and wondering
why some one had not thought of the
idea of such an attraction heretofore.
During Thursday and Friday several
cars were sold at the show, in each case
the deal for the purchase hinging on
the installation Of Petty headlights.
Those in charge Of the display were
enthusiastic over the outlook for the
Petty headlight, and are exceptionally
well pleased with the showing made
during the week at the exhibition.

Bank Has New Officers.

At a meeting last Wednesday
afternoon of the directors Of the
Savings Bank of Fort Mill,
w. B. Meacham was elected
president of the bank. succeed
ing Col. Leroy Springs, of Lam
caster, and w. B. Meacham, Jr. ,
was elected cashier to succeed
his father. In rendering his
resignation as president, Col.
Springs explained this action
was necessary because of the
constantly increasing demands
upon his time from his other
business. Col. Springs had been
president of the Savings Bank
since the death of Capt. S. E.
White, some three years ago.
Mr.. Meacham, the new presi-
dent of the bank, became it's
cashier in 1897, succeeding the
late j. M. Spratt, and has held
the position continuously since.
Under his supervision the insti-
has afforded the people of Fort
Mill and vicinity a great con-
venience in the transaction of
business and has paid uniformly
good dividends to it's stockhold-
ers. 1t has suffered only one
serious reverse, that of a robbery
in 1903 when the safe was blown
open by professional cracksmen
who were then operating in this
State and about $4, 500 stolen.
W. B. Meacham, Jr., the new
cashier, has been assistant
cashier of the bank for about
two years.

Constable ]. F. Jackson Dead.

Yorkville people were shocked
this (Thursday) morning when
they learned that Mr.. James F.
Jackson, a well known resident
of this town had died last night.
Mr.. Jackson was apparently in
his usual health yesterday, and
had spent the day in Rock Hill
attending to business, returning
to YOrkville in the afternoon.
He was suddenly seized with
sickness at about nine O'Clock,
and although prompt medical
attention was given he grew
steadily worse and died at
11:30 O'Clock, death being due
to heart trouble. Mr.. Jackson
had been a resident of this town
for a number of years and had
a wide circle of friends. He
was forty-two years of age, and

THIRD MAN MAY ENTER
RACE FOR THE SENATE

1t is rumored in Columbia that
John Gary Evans of Spartan
burg, who succeeded Governor
Tillman in the executive mansion
back in the nineties, and who
was perhaps the youngest man
who ever held that office. will
make the race for United States
senator next summer before the
primaries. in opposition to Gov
crnor Blease and Senator E. d.
Smith, who will also be candi-
dates for that place.
Former Governor Evans was
in the capital city several days
ago and paid visit to the legis-
lature while in, session. He was
asked concerning his intentions
as to the senatorial race, but
responded only with an enigma
tic smile.
He has been closely identified
with South Carolina politics since
his election as governor, and has
made the race for United States
senate. Though unsuccessful in
each effort. his races have al
ways been hard fought and only
by small margin has he been
defeated. He was in the second
race for this office with Senator
f. d. Smith in 1908, the latter
winning by a small margin.
MIR. Evans is chairman of the
State Democratic committee,
and enjoys the friendship of
President Wilson, Secretary of
State Bryan, and other men of
national notes closely associated
with the present Democratic ad-
ministration. Attesting to the
friendship for him held by Mr..
Bryan was the honor the secre-
tary of State paid him by having
him at dinner at his home when
Mr.. Evans was recently in
Washington.
Mr.. Evans is an able and cour-
ageous campaigner and his entry
into the race would mean a
spirited. political fight this sum-
mer with the victory one of con-
siderable speculation.

Blanket of Snow Covered South.

Beginning early Wednesday
night and continuing unabated
for twelve hours, the entire
Southeast Thursday shivered in
a blanket of snow ranging in
depth from six to thirteen inches.
The snow extended as far south
as Southern Georgia, and reached
to the Gulf States, and weather
bureau records for twenty years
were broken. Falling tempera
lures accompanied the snow in
many sections, the snow turning
to sleet.
While no serious Interruptions
to traffic and wire service were
reported, many of the trains
were behind their schedules in
localities where the snow was
heaviest.
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina re-
ported the heaviest snowfall.
At Macon, Ga the precipitation
reached a depth of six inches
while an almost equal amount
was reported at Augusta and
Savannah. In Louisiana and
Mississippi the snow began fall
ing about noon Wednesday and
at midnight it had been recorded
from a trace in the extreme south
to six inches in the northern
section. Thermometers at New
Orleans, Mobile and other gulf
points lowered about the freeZ-
ing point and the snow melted
as it fell.

Welfare Work Progresses.

Welfare work among the mills
in South Carolina is progressing
well under the guidance of Prof.
James L. Carberry, of Rock
Hill. Professor Carberry has
been making a trip through the
mill towns of the State and Civ
ing talks to the children to
ornanize them in the work.
Already 13 mills have signed up
for the work and 2l more are
desirous of joining. Demonstra-
tions are appointed to carry on
the work.
The work started a few years
ago in Rock Hill among some of
the mills there has made won
derful strides. Tomato clubs
are organized among the girls
and corn clubs among the boys.
The work done by some of these
children as shown in the fair in
Rock Hill on October IL of last
year was Indicative of the prog
ress that has been made among
the children, as their display was
one of the most attractive fea-
lures of the exhibit hall.

Pineville to Get the Farm Shool.

The town of Pineville seen s
to have won out over Derita in
the matter of securing the loca-
ton of the Mecklenburg Farm
Life School. The matter was
several weeks ago referred to
the attorney general of North
Carolina for an opinion as to
which of the places was legally
entitled to the school. This opin-
ion was rendered the last week,
and in the opinion of this official
the Derita people cannot vote
bonds for school buildings with
out q special act of the Legisla-
ture, which effectually disposes
of the claims of the Derita people
at present, while the Pineville
district complied with all the re-
uuirements of the law to secure
the school. The attorney gener-
al suggested to the Mecklenburg
board that it assure the Pineville
people of the establishment OF
the farm school at that place
and that the school would re-
ceive the entire State and coun-
ty appropriation for the work.

AS the momentous year of 1913
was drawing to a close. there
made its appearance in the of
fices of various lawyers all over
the United States a calendar
an advertisement of a law book
firm-the most noticeable fea-
ture of which was the striking
reproduction of a group of por-
traits, men evidently learned in
the law. In that group were
the pictures of two men whose
names have become household
words wherever the great science
of English law is known. And
there was third, none the less
scholarly and perspicacious that
he is less well known. The
group was the pictures of the
editors of what lawyers refer to
as "CYC," otherwise known as
"Cyclopedia of Law and Proceed
ure. :" The two pictures first
referred to are those of the late
Associate Justice Brewer Of the
United States supreme court,
and his colleague, 'the great
dissenter." the late Associate
Justice Harlan.
The third of the trio. in whom
South Carolinians are bound to
feel more than a passing inter-
est, is the picture of William
Mack, a native of this State,
now editor-in-chief of ''CYC."
Mr.. Mack, as may be gathered
from a consideration of the i'm
portance of his work, stands at
the top of the ranks of legal
authorship. He is secretary of
the American Law Book COM
pany, and is editor of it's other
important publication, "Cyclo-
pedia of Forms and Precedents. 4"
Though not widely known in
South Carolina. even by name.
Mr.. Mack is a familiar character
to his one time fellow townsmen
in Fort MIL. Here he spent his
boyhood days and here his little
motherless son, Billie, " is now
living and learning to follow in
the footsteps of his distinguished
father.
Born in Sumter county in 1865,
William Mack was the son of the
Rev. DR.. j. B. Mack, a well
known Presbyterian minister,
who was stationed in Columbia,
and Mrs. Harriet Banks Mack.
In his early youth he came tc
Fort Mill with his parents and
here he grew up. From Fort
Mill he went to Davidson college,
whence he emerged in 1888, with
the degree of M. A., having
taken that degree along with the
degree of A. B., and having
ranked second in his class. The
call of scholarship, combined
with the independent spirit which
brooked no long waiting before
entering the world of service
took him to Adger college, where
for a year he lent his energie.

Death by Suffocation.

James Barnes, colored, son of
William and Mary Barnes. re-
spected colored people of Fort
Mill township, met death by
suffocation Thursday in the
plant of the South Carolina
Cotton Oil company, in Columbia,
where he was employed. Barnes
wa S at work in a seed house and
was smothered TO death when he
was buried beneath an avalanche
of seed. The colored man ut
tered a cry as the mass of seed
fell upon him and several other
employees in the plant came to
his rescue, digging furiously into
the mountain of seed which
covered Barnes. In a few
minutes after the accident the
rescuers reached the imprisoned
man, and although his body was
still warm, life was extinct. That
suffocation was the cause of
death was easily established by
the circumstances and in the
opinion of a physician who was
summoned by telephone shortly
after the accident occurred. The
county coroner was notified of
Barnes death and, after hearing
from witnesses, decided that an
inquest was unnecessary.
Barnes body was brought to
Fort Mill Friday morning for
burial.

sequently the university con-
ferred on him the degree of
LII. d.
Lamar, which had seen his
first embrace of his new mis-
tress, the law, soon saw him
again. For one year he prac-
ticed there, and then went to
the land of promise on the
Pacific coast. In San Francisco
he stayed ten years, leaving there
in 1900 to accept an editorial
position with the Edward Thomp-
son company, publishers of law
books. at Northport, a suburb of
New York. In this congenial
atmosphere his genius for legal
authorship blossomed into flower.
The first fruits were the seven
volumes of "Rapalje and Mack's
Digest of Railway Decisions" a
standard work of great repute.
A short time later he again
changed his residence, going to
New York city, to join the
American Law Book company.
With that company he has re-
mained for IL years, adding
steadily to his reputation as a
clear and forceful thinker and a
concise and accurate expounder
of legal truth.
His service with the American
company early brought him to
the very head of the company's
corps of experts. Selected to
undertake the tremendous task
of directing the preparation of
comprehensive but convenient
exegesis of law and procedure,
he entered upon his task with
energy and zeal. The 40 vol
umes of the "Cyclopedia of Law
and Procedure" already pub
lished are an enduring testi-
monial of his skill and industry.
These, with the annotations.
which also are in his charge.
have assumed rank as among
the most authoritative of legal
works.
The "Cyclopedia of Forms and
Precedents," a like work on a
different phase of the subject, is
also well known among the legal
folk.
While he has been pursuing the
lights of legal learning, Mr..
Mack has not neglected other
avenues of activity. He is a
member of the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity, and presided
at the national convention of
that fraternity in Chattanooga.
He is high rank Mason, being
Knight Templar and Noble OF
Kismet Temple of the Mystic
Shrine. He is member of the
Missouri Society of New Yorl
and of the Southern Society OF
New York.
Though Mr.. Mack's work has
led him far aiield, he has never
forgotten the home interests
His alma mater has been the re
cipient of many gifts of books
His home town too, and his hom,
