NEW MAXWELL |S EQUIPPED
 WITH LATEST

The new model Maxwell touring car made it's debut on the streets few days ago and enbodies all the re- uuisites of the up-to-date automobile. The car has wonderful lines and a new type stream line body The wheel base has been heightened to :69 inches and the rear springs heightened to 50 inches, being of the t:nderslung semi elliptic tpye and is
 unsideled the last word in easy rid !.g construction.
 The chassis mas a 6-inch channel frame of enog nous strength, the run - ing boards are wider and to offset ihe appearance of the ear. full crown
 lie piece lenders are used. This type lenders appears only on cars selling at $500 and over.
 A brand new feature of the Max well is an automatic lock on the starter pedal which prevents stripping of flywheels as the starter cannot be engaged while the motor is running. An extra demountable wheel is in ciuded in the equipment, making completely equipped car in every sense of the word.
 How a car can be produced at the price the Maxwell sells for embodying he best in motor car construction has been the topic of much discus sIon along automobile row. w. E. Gardner, manager of Babbitt- Poison company, local Maxwell representa- tives, in speaking of this latest Max well product, says: Tt is just the car we have been waiting for and is the result of years of study on the part Of our engineers and designers to give the public the car they want at the right price. Our last years mo- del proved a tremendous success and we predict greater success for the present model, which in my estirna- ticn is the greatest motor car value on the American market"

OUR TOWN NAMES

It is interesting to discover from an examination of the United States Off cial Postal Guide, that among our pub lie men after whom towns have been named Franklin seems to lead in pop larity, there being 31 Fran.llins in the country, as against 30 .Clintons, 2S Washingtons. 26 Hamiltops, 25 Madi sons and 20 Monroes, 23 Lincons, 2l Jacksons, 20 Jeffersons. IS Websters, and 15 Rooseyelts. The name which has appealed most to the town found CTS, however, is Union, which, with it's congeners, Un.onville, Uniontown. etc, is applied to 96 towns in the United States.-The Outlook.

OVERLAND 9O
 MAKES GREAT
 RECORD TRIP

An enviable record has just been made by MT. William Garrison and family Of Tempe, Arizona, from Amor fila, Texas, to Phoenix, in a stock model 90 Overland touring car.
 A total of 1022.5 miles was made 43.5 gallons of gasoline used and three quarts of cylinder oil. Average mile age per gallon of gasoline 23.5-aver- age mileage per quart of cylinder oil 340.4.
 Mr. Garrison was accompanied by his family consisting of four persons. and in addition to this weight complete camping outfit was carried. No extra water was carried on the trip and the hood of the little Overland was not raised once for repairs. rom Amor fila to Fl Paso the roads were in places !, eli nigh impossible owing to the fact that West Texas has just entered long drouth; the sand and dust at times were well up to the hubs of the wheels.
 From Fl Paso west all kinds of roads were encountered and in the mountains there was extra hard going. In speaking of the trip MT Garrison adds that were he tomorrow to under take trip to China, all he would do + u e4uAp lis ''S0 with sails to nego- tiate the Pacfic-the rest of the trip would be cause for no possible annoy ance.

PRACTICAL HINTS
 FUR ALL AUTO|STS

Tights Engine .Bolts-ln certain cars a loosening Of the engine bolts those which hold the motor in place, may cause misalignment of the engine, with serious trouble as d result Even though the loosenes be but slight, it may allow the motor support to ham mer and thump. In time this may re- suit in an actual breakage of the sup porting arm.
 Frcsling Bulbs-In these days ot drastic headlight laws. state and mu- nicipal, motorists will natui ally Ce in- terested in a cheap method of frost ing bulbs and lenses, a method of eliminating the glare from lights com plying will all statutes of this kind. re follow ing formula is used tor making the frcsting solution and into this the bulb or lens is dipped. To d mixture of twenty-fOur ounces or ether and eighteen ounces Of benzine, add two and q quarter ounces of can- darach and one-half ounce of mastin. Any good drug stOIe Wi.l furnish tie needed ingredients. If it Is desirei to produce colored light, cologing mat ter may be added to the solution. Ii the surface to oe frosted is large and fl1t the solution may be applied with a brush but this usually produces a streaaed surface It is best to i'm merse the object to be coated if pos sible. The uncolOred solution produces much the same effect as ground glass, but the frosting wears eff with service and has to be renewed,
 Webbing Wheels-Criticism of the condition of the wheels of his neigh hn''s car is common failing with motorists and yet the vert man who is 4 l-1, set on his own car. Webbing wheels are a common ailment in motordom At least ance in two months and bet ter. every month. the ear owner should jack up the wheels of his car grasp opposite spoles and shake them to see If excessive end play has de- VelOped. Rear Whels are particularly liable to looseness and this conditior induces rapid tire deterioration. This Wobtllng may be caused by bearing wear or by q bent shaft.
 Oilers for Crease Cups-Modern cCnstructional practice is tending to- ward the elimination of grease cup and the substitution therefor of ol, wells and oil cups. There are many car owners whose vehicles are equipped with grease cups in great p~ofusion, who can at slight expense GO aWaN Wltn tnc lfOuDle que to Inl5 equipment. For example the grease cup generally located at the clutch for lubricsting the thrust bearing cl throw-Out collar. This may be re- moved and a large oil cup may be substituted The owner who is me chanically competent may install q large oil reservoir with flexible leads running from it to various parts of the mechanism requiring fabrication,

 Straight Side Tires-Many owners find it difficult properly to mount straight side tires. Ire correct meth od is to lay the rim on the floor and insert the valve stem of the tire in it's sProper location. Next force the hnad for ten inches on each side of

AN AGED INDUSTRIAL HERO

The medal of the Order of the Brit
 ish empire has been conferred on Thomas Harper an industrial hero. At the age of 72 he had retired and gone to live in Australia. When the war broke out he returned to England and went to work in a intuition factory. For two years he has, it is stated
 actually done the work of two men" Once he tainted at his task, but abso- lutely refused to give up. saying he would never rest while his country men at the front needed shells.-The Outlook XSTZH

the opportunity to buy stock at $100 a share or about two-t thirds of the actual market value, and small monthly in stallments were accepted as payment.
 That the employees recognized this as an oportunity not only to make prof itable investment but to show their confidence in the company for which they are working, is demonstrated by the fact that more than 90 per cent, or over 11.000 individuals took up the stock allotted them.
 President Firestone the originator of the stock plan, points out that there is no philanthrophy in all these hu- manitarian activities. He says: "It IS good business. Workers who actual ly own part of the business in whicl. they are engaged naturally will put iii more thoughtful, earnest and effective efforts. On the other hand the own ing of stock in the company will en- courage thrift and will add to their sense of reSDOnSibiIity

If the feet prove not suf- iciently powerful to force the casing into place, a- tire tool must be utilized the ends of the rim being pried into place with a screw driver. The new owner frequently gets the tire in place only to find that he has gotten the ends of the rim overlapping il: the wrong way 4 rim contracting ard expanding tool is great hcln in this connection, but sometimes this useful device is not at hand, when the above method may be used.
 Graphite for the mot0r-There seems to be general beiiei among motor car owners that graphite has it's application only as a lubricant for gears, joints. etc. and not at q for the motor This idea is absolutely erroneous; graphite is an excellent lubricant for use in the motor. when the flake form, the proper one. is used in conjunction with the regular lubricant. There are certain forms of lubricant which employ graphite ir various combinations t'ith oils an7 these often are excellent for the mo- tor. the graphite tending to fill mi mute depressicrs in the r,Ptal
 Finding Positive Wire-When charging terminals are not marked nl1s and minus to indicate tie posi- tive and negative sides, the following n3ethcd may be used to determine the polarity. Attach both sides of the circuit to small lead plates and place these plates in q tumbler nearly filled v-ith battery solution or electrolyte Turn on the current and after three ninrtes remove the plates. The one which =hows brown discoloration is attaohed to the positive side.

He wrote his history Of ker-
shaw's Brigade while still residing
ON his Broad river farm and it has
always been mystery to us how ne
managed to gather all the informa-
ton that he has put in that book
while he was engaged in farming
We shall never forget the day that
he brought the manuscript Of that
hook to US for publication. 1t is
great book and the pity is that the
people, his contemporaries, did not
arpreciate it more by buying ann
reading it. 1t is now out of print
and very few copies are extant.
The editor OF. this newspaper feei5
that in Coz. Dickert's death we hsss
lost a good friend and We shall miss
not only his contributions to The
Herald and News but his genial geod
humor and his interesting conyersa-
tons.
Colonel Dickert was twice married,
his first wife being Miss Katie Crom-
er, of Fairfield county. Four children
were born to this union-Roland'
Claude, Alma and Gussie-of whom
two survive, Roland, of Columbia, and
Mrs. Gussie Wells, Of Minneapolis.
His second wife was Mrs. Alice Cole
man. also of Fairfield. One child,
Luci1e. blessed this second union.
He is survived by his wife, three
children-Roland, Mrs. Gussie Wells
and Lucille, two step-children, Mrs.
VI H. Suber, of Newberry, and Mar
tin Coleman, of Camden, and two
brothers, chas. p. Dickert, of Live
Oak, Fla, and Hope A. Dickert' Of
Columbia, S. C. His sister, Mra.
Mary Wheeler, mother of Mr.. Jas
D. Wheeler, of Newberry, died some
years ago.
The funeral service will be held
this (Friday) afternoon from the res
idence at 4 o'clock and interment At
Rosemont Cemetery.

of every three.
After the close of the war Colene'
[ Dickert returned to his farm on
the Broad river and began to pursue
the wai..s of civil life and to regain
the loss of the war. He took an &C
tive part in the redemption Of the
State in reconstruction days and was
leader in the Ku-Klux Clans in
that REDEMPTION and his known fear
lessness made him the kind of Lead
er that was needed in those trying
days.
Col Dickert wrote a great deal for
the magazines and newspapers and
his vivid Imagination and retenttvs
memory and great natural strength
Of mind made his articles of great
value and they were read with great
deal Of interest. Whether you
agreed with his positions or not you
had to admit the force of his louc
and the vigor of his STYLE In speak
ing to the writer the late Chief Jus-
tiee McIyer said that Dickert's his
tory Of Kershaw's Brigade was the
most intensely Interesting book he
had ever read. 1t was like a thrill
ing novel, once you started to read
you could not stop until it was an-
ished. 1t is an unique history of that
great struggle in that it is written
from the standpoint of the private and
gives the experiences OF the private
and the hardships and trials that ne
endured with vivid descriptions Of
battles and marches. He contributor
largely to newspapers and magazines
and he told the writer just few daya
ago that he had sent several articaea
to magazines which had been accept
ed and would appear very soon. He
spent several days in our study going
over the files of The Herald AMI
News and gathering Information for
these articles. We shall miss his

when Col D. A. Dickert died. Hum
ible and unassuming, as all great men
are, he had few equals in strength CT
mind and natural ability. He was a
historian of rare parts and writer
of fiction that had few equals.
:, Col. D. A. Dickert died suddenly
at his home in this city at 6 O'Clock
on Thursday morning, the immediate
cause being Bright's disease anu
aeakage Of the heart. Only on Wed
nesday afternoon he was down town
and on the streets mingling with his
friends as was his custom. Only
Tuesday afternoon the writer talked
with him and he was In good spirit
and said his nerve was still steady
and that he could shoot as straight
as he did in former days. Therefore.
while his friends knew that he had
been in failing health for several
years, his death was shock to the
community. He was suddenly stricken
with an attack OF the heart at o
O'Clock and died an hour later.
Col. Dickert was the son Of A. G.
Dsckert and Margaret Dickson u
