SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
French Business Men Realize That
Their System Of Freight Transpor.
tation 10 Obsolete.

That the war brought to France an
ohiect lesson In the utility of the
motortruck as means of freight
transportation appears in plans now
under way to develop long haul
system. 1t Is hoped thereby to quicken
the movement OF goods and lessen
the impatience OF various business
interests with the slownesS of rail
way and waterway traffic. The prac-
ticsbility of the motortruck as a
freight carrier was a revelation to
Frenchmen Of business who had de.
nended in normal times on what would
ne held an abnormally slow service.
From Havre TO Paris by boat means
often a journey of at least three
months. and at the quickest, which
requires special arrangement with the
government, takes about four weeks.
Commenting on railroad tranSpOrta.
ton between Paris and the seaports,
A Paris business man is reported as
saving that from Havre one must ex-
pect delay of one or two months,
from Bordeaux a delay of two or
three months, and that "when goods
fol Paris reach MarseilleS they stay
there" The humorous exaggeration
illustrates the condition which is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project OF long hauls by motortrucks.
a solution which will probably de-
velop because the nation is already
provided with excellent roads.

Butt0n-Sewing Machine.

"Mrs. Pearl Hayes" says the An

machine for the Anderson Under

she sewed buttons on 1,S60 gar

four to five buttons, making 1900
buttons in all. Buttons were sewed
on fifty dozen garments in two and
one-half hours, which amounts to
2,400 buttons.
I'VE will admit that this sounds
like lot to be sewed on in one day."

Austrian Navy EXtinguished.

Paris, May 1.-The naval terms
between the Allies and Austria, as
now completed, are far more strin-
gent than the naval terms in the
treaty with Germany, as the Aus
trian navy is completly extinguished.
All the large ships are to be sur
rendered to the Allied and associated
powers, and no nucleus for the fleet
will remain.
The only craft Of any kind which
the terms give to Austria are those
for use on the Danube, but they will
not be available outside the river.
The terms are restricted to the sur
render Of the Austrian battle cruis-
ers, destroyers and other ships. with

MANY SOLDIERS ASSEAlHIEI>
At Seneca lust ThurStiay-A Big
Crowd Greeted Them.

Editor keOwee Courier:
The Seneca Branch, American Rod
Cross, was gratiiied that the largest
number Of people ever In Seneca. in
the estimation Of many, were hore
on the Sth to honor the returning,
soldiers and sailors Of Oconee, de.
spite the heavy rains Of the two nre-
ceding days and the threatening waa-
ther early that morning, which pre-.
vented many from coming.
Since the success Of the day was
due TO the hearty cooperation Of the
Seneca Red Cross District, we wish.
through your paper, to thank alI
who helped in any way, as tho large
number makes 1t impossible to do so,
personally.
We desire to express appreciation,
from the local Red Cross to tho busi-
ness men Of the town for over 5000
contributed, with the offer to dou-
BILE this amount If needed); to the
women Of the town, and within the
Red Cross District, for the generous
donations for the dinner; to the Boy
Scouts for their valuable assistance.
for the two days before and the day
OF the celebration; and to the women
and young ladies who helped pre-.
pare and serve the dinner:
All was done to honor our boys.
and as an expression Of pride in
their record as soldiers, and graft
tude over their return. Seneca and
community esteem it privilege to
have been hosts to them for day.
One donation, twenty-five pound
turkey, was given by Mrs. u. B.
Ramsay, who had been saving 1t for
two years for Oconee's returning SOL
diers. This incident is given to show
that all desired, and many had plan
ned, to have part in providing for
"Our Boys, ,"and the only complaint
heard was that few were overlook
ed by the committee on donations,
due to the fact that the response was.
so generous that more was contrib
uted than was needed for the dinner.
An invitation was given to all to re-
main for the nights celebration, and
more than hundred were served
buffet supper" in the dining room
Of the Palmetto Hotel.
With grateful appreciation for the
cooperation given us, we remain,
Very truly yours,

Chairman Seneca Red Cross Branch.

Ono Hundred Said to be i'm Operation
in Mccormick County.
(McCormick Messenger)

w. p. Culbreath located a still on
the plantation Of Miss Carrie Burk-
| halter, Of the Rehoboth section of
| McCormic county, last Sunday morn
ing, which was seized by Mr.. Gull
breath, Chas. Strom, Jim Talbert,
Eugene Paul, Walter Strom and sew
eral others whose names we have not
at hand.
The still was made Of copper, and
from what some Of the older men
say. was made by an expert. 1t was
OF so gallons capacity and bore signs
long use. Five hundred gallons of
mash and a small quantity Of whis-
key were found at the still, and
everything was in readiness to make
run, even to the operatives having
their lunches on the premises with
them, which they left at sight of the
oncoming law-abiding and peace-lov-
ing citizens Of the Reboboth niegh-
borhood. The still Is said to be a
first-class one, and evidently had
been operated in wholesale way.
Some meal, meat, fine feed, lumber,
etc, were also found at the place.
Several prominent white men are
connected with the still just cap
tured, and several negroes, though
their names have not been made pub
lie.
The sheriff and deputy were called
to Rehoboth Sunday afternoon to
bring the outfit in, which was on ex-
hibition on the square all day Mon
day, and was cut to pieces by the
sheriff that evening.
This makes about 5000 gallons Of
mash destroyed in the last ten days,
which gives the sheriff q total Of
$4,000 gallons Of mash destroyed in
a little less than three years.
Upon good authority, we have It
that there are at least one hundred
more stills In this county, pursuit
for all Of which is in progress.
