WONDERFUL DURABILITY

Picrcc-Arrow material and Pierce
Arrow workmanship find admira bio
testimony in the performance of the
'S~ixty-SiX' owned by Charles Il. kaicr.
Of Mahanoy city.
MIR. Kaicr has driven his ca- so, 600
miles. and the machine has yet to have
q complete o~vcrhaulinr. The car was
purchased in 1910 II has been sent
over every kind of Il road. and has
been used in every kind Of driving.
II has toured IN the uinner ii has
rc"n generously used In the winter.
II is operated in A section which Is
famous for its difficult hills and has
many stretches Of bad roads.
Yet during the maximum of the time
the car has been rendering service to
us owner. 1t has been the exception to

nave been comparatively minor. MIR.
haier mas expressed no intention of
getting another ear, nor has he said
anything about getting this one over

is not impossible tina the machine will
continue in active service for another
year or two before being sent to the
repair shop, which might mean as
'nuch as 100000 miles before being
"v"rhauled and renewcd.
This performance is much similar to
what the Pierce did which was owned

These instances OF P~icrc.-Arrow re-

PRAISE FOR SUMTER OFFICERS.
Mayor. Leach of Aberdeen Gratified
at Receipt of Check for 500, Re.
ward for Turnagc.

| Deputy Sheriff j. II. Forbes has Just
received letter from Mayor Ralph
Leach of Aberdeen, N. c., thanking
Sheriff Bradford and Deputy Forbes
for their kindness in sending him
check for 500, the reward offered bv
Gov Manning for the arrest of AL
pert Turnage. The arrest was made
by Mayor Leach some time ago and
when Deputy Sheriff Forbes went for
the prisoner, he assured him that the
check would be sent as soon as it
could be secured from Gov. Manning.
However. it seems that it could not
be given by Gov. Manning until the
conviction of Turnage and in the
meantime Sheriff Bradford has sent
his personal check to Mayor Leach
for the amount Of the reward.
Mayor Leach in his letter praises
the Sumter county officers for their
manner of conducting the affair and
expresses his appreciation of their
pronptness. In his letter to Gov.
Manning asking that the reward when
1t is given be turned over to Sheriff
Bradford, Mayor Leach states that
sumter county should be proud of it's
officers and he says that he thinks that
they should be kept in office, as long
as they wish to remain.
