BOLD EFFORT TO
BREAK INTO DWELLING.

On "wednesday night there was some
excitement near kinsrds on the line
between Newberry and Laurens by
the efforts Of negro to break into
the home of Mr.. Andrew Merchant
who lives just On the Laurens side.
The negro was caught and identlfle1
as Nc Smith alias Mack Simpkins and
gotten away to the Laurens Jail ey
Rural Policeman Abrams and Magls-
trate Cannon while the ne:ghboTs
were gathering ard possibly for the
efforts OF these officers some drastic
measures may have been administer
ed to the negro.
He went to the home of Mr.. Mer-
chant some time after Mr. Merchant
had retired and called him OFT ana
told him that Wait Cromer told him
10 come and say that Mr. Geo. Mer-
chant was very i'll and that he shoulr
come at once. Mr. Merchant had been
to the hospital and Walt lived near
| him and the story was plausible SO
Mr. Merchant hurried 10 dress and
get his mule and go to his brother.
When he arrived he found his brother
in bed and doing we'll and also found
that Walt had sent no such message
He Immediately hurried back home to
find that as soon as he left the negro
called to Mrs. Merchant and demand
ed that she open the window and le.
him in. She refused of course ana
then he demanded that the door be
opened and threatened to break il
open. Mrs. Merchant got a gun and
snapped it at the negro but it failed
to go Off She screamed and Mrs
Lee Hembre, who lives near heard
her cries and got her pistol and be-
gan to fire it as she approached the
house and the negro was frightened
away.
A number of friends and neighbors
gathered but as stated the negro was
identified and hurried to the jail
otherwise he might have been dear
with summarily. The negro it is said
goes under two names and has con-
tracts with number Of people under
both names. At present he lives on

it for granted that We had, but IN

man didn't like it because We adver-
tised Dodge as an Oakland, and the
Dodge agent didn't like to have a
Dodge cut with an Oakland adver-
tisement, and so there you are ana
where are we? And we bet our last
summer straw hat that SO out OF
every 100 readers of the paper could
not tell the difference.
We told one yof the men that we
frankly admitted that we didn't know
the difference. requesting him to
come and verify the cut, that we were
J in the same condition as the boy who
drew horse and then wrote under
his drawing, "This is a hoss.' The
only thing we can do is to print the
ad again and apologize to both, and
frankly admit that We don't know
one car from another, even when we
see the car, much less to try to tell
by the picture.
The best thing for these gentlemen
to do is for both to run an ad regular
Iy and write on the cut which, and
then Wen put them right.
Both seem to be good cars. We
don't know which is the better. Both
