John r. Joyce of Carlsbad,
New Mexico, was killed three
miles from Patrick Monday
when his heavy car turned tur-
tie at a sharp bend in the road,
pinning Mr. Joyce beneath it.
The car was nearly new one
and carried Florida number.
The body was taken to Cheraw,
where it was prepared for burial,
and information concerning the
dead man was sought. 1t was
said that he was president of the
Joyce Fruit company. The man
was driving north on the w. A.
highway through the lower part
of the county, when he came
unexpectedly upon a sharp
curve. 1t is presumed that he
was alone and that he was going
fast.
The home of Mr.. P. H, Evans
in the eastern part of town was
destroyed bv fire about $50
O'Clock Saturday night. Mr..
Evans and wife left home about
a half hour before the fire, leav-
ing a little fire in the fireplace.
The fire had gained such head
way when the alarm was given
that nothing of note could be
saved from the house. There
was stiff breeze blowing, and
the flames famed by this burned
the house to the ground in a
very short time. The two houses
adjoining were saved because
they were wet from the recent
rains. There was $400 insurance
on the building and $4OO on the
contents. This house was on
the same lot where Mr.. Lem
Robertson's house was burned
last year.

To The Stockholders of the Mill
Ter Train Control Corporation.

The efficiency and practicability
OF the Miller Train Control is now
assured, as proven by its use on
the main line of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad.
Its daily use for nearly three
years on the main line of this rail-
road, attaining 100 per cent eff
cheney in performing the functions
claimed for it, under all kinds of
climatic conditions, Is THE BEST
EVIDENCE OF ITS MERIT.
The homogeneous of a number
of railroads are seriously conSid-
ering the question of the adoption
of a train control, and as the Miller
Train Control is in actual service
on a standard railroad, when il is
put in use on other roads the mar
ket value of its securities should be
considerably above par.
We will be pleased to furnish
you information on request.
