NEGRO MAN KILLED

Joe Jones, alias Bub Cole, well
known negro about 40 years Of age was
shot and instantly killed last evening
about 7 o'clock near the home of
Press King, colored on Pinckney street,
Yorkville. Cora Rainey, notorious
negro woman OF Yorkville and the al
legged paramour Of Jones for several
years past, is in Jail charged with the
shooting. She admits the shooting, 1t
is said and claims that she killed the
man because he was beating her and
had been abusing her for some time
past She said she shot him with a
pistol. She could not tell officers last
evening where she got the pistol or the
manner OF pistol it was.
Jones was shot one time, the bullet
from .32 callbre United States re-
volver entering his face just below the
left eye and ranged downward. He
died almost instantly. A jury Of in
quest presided over by Magistrate
Conner was summoned last night and
heard the testimony of several negro
men and women who claimed to have
been in the vicinity when the tragedy
occurred. The inquest was not con-
cluded but probably will be finished
today.
Jones and the Rainey woman it ap-
pears have had several violent quarrels
within the past few weeks, the man
alleging infidelity on the part of the
woman. Some time ago she left York
vile, and went to Concord, n. c., bat
returned this week and last evening
was at the home Of Julia King, her
sister on Pinckney street. Jones it is
said, was lowering around the house
watching her movements.
About 7/o'clock, Kirk Lowry, cOlored
man of Yorkville. drove up to the
house of Press King and called for
Cora Rainey. The woman came out
and got into the buggy. Joe Jones ap-
peared upon the scene and attempted
to pull the woman to the ground. The
party drove up the road few feet Joe
Jones and the Rainey woman fighting
violently all the while.
Suddenly a shot rang out and Jones
dropped in the road dead. bullet
through his head. The Rainey woman
went to the home of Kirk Lowry
where she was later arrested. Lowry
could not be located last night.
The woman said that she killed
Jones because of the fact that he had
been mistreating her and because he
attempted to kill her last night
Jones was a negro who enjoyed a
good reputation among white people of
the town and community generally and
was known as a terror among negroes.
He recently paid a fine when brought
before the mayor on a charge of beat
ing the Rainey woman.
Cora Rainey has lived in Yorkvillc
practically all of her life and has
bad reputation.

Mr.. j. F. Martin of Sharon, is one OF
the most successful producers OF Irish
potatoes in this section. He does not
go in for potatoes on very extensive
scale; but always makes fine crops of
large potatoes. He planted the Look
out Mountain potato in the middle
summer and has a splendid yield.
Since the price of cotton went below
20 cents quotations have been merely
nominal. The figures have heen based
partly on the future market and partly
on the requirements Of buyers. Very
little cotton is being offered at this
time. and the dealers do not appear to
be anxious to buy any more until after
they have disposed of what they, al
ready have. The common feeling is
that the spinners are now pretty well
loaded up with temporary supplies and
will not again Violently disturb the
market until their supplies begin to
run low. The closing figures on the
New York exchange yesterday were as
follows: December, 1896; January,

simple his system, should keep rec
ord of his expenses. The bureau of
markets in an investigation Of over go
rural motor routes, ascertained that
many operators who kept no accounts
thought they were making profit,
when, as a matter of fact, they were
gradually exhausting their original in
vestment for current expenses.
Must Practice Economy.
Rural hauling by motor is limited
and restricted by the operation costs
as compared with those of railroads,
electric lines and boat routes. The
truckman must practice every possible
economy in order to minimize his ex-
penses which will be reflected in his
charges. Truck routes are only adapt
ed to sections in which the roads are
good, as poor roads are an insurmoInt-,
able obstacle to motor freighting. Fur
thermore, truck operators must. be
financially responsible for the goods
they carry. Consequently they should
be protected by adequate insurance.
1t is only by such practices that per
manent and certain business can be
developed.

IMPORTANT part
IS LLTREATED
Owners Should Give More Atten-
ton to Universal Joints, De-
cIareS an Expert.
SHAFTS MOVING CONTINUALLY
On Account of Location Joint Is Neg
Iected More Than Any Other Part
of Car--Engine Is Blamed for
Difficulty.

Pity the sorrows of the poor uni
versal joint. Compelled to struggle on
alone, out of sight and out of mind striv-
ing to overcome friction when neglect
ed, shocked almost to the breaking
point by contact of the rear wheels,
with water bars and mud holes, wrench
ed numerically by sudden use of the
Clutch-still it stands up under the
strain. Study it's needs and attend to
them, and you will be repaid hun
dredfold, writes an expert in an ex-
change.
The purpose of q universal joint is
to deliver power from one shaft to
another when out of line or at a
varying angle. The forward end is
fastened to the spine shaft in the gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going to the differential and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
another universal joint near the differ
entail. The two shafts are rarely in
line, so some sort of flexible coupling
is necessary, and the present high
grade joint has been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises and falls with
the spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out of line and the need of flexible
joint is quite apparent. The angle is
never very great, because any depar-
ture from a straight line loses power.
When the car is properly loaded with
passengers the line will be found to
be very nearly, if not quite, straight.
On account of its location the Joint
is often neglected probably more than
any other part Of the car. 1t is a
dirty job to grease or even to inspect
it, and so it is neglected until the
engine is unable to pull the usual hills
on high gear. Frequently the engine
is blamed for this, whereas the fault
is entirely due to friction in the uni
versal joint, gears, and differential.
Long before this trouble arises the
joint should be fabricated.
The old types were covered with a
leather boot difficult to remove. But
the present type is completely incased
| in metal with q convenient plug for
greasing. Of, course grease gun
must be used and the lubricant forced
in at different angles. Use light
gear-case compound, one that will
reach every part readily.
| Avoid Cup Grease.
Do not use a cup grease, as it will
not work into the joints, but will
squeeze out and stay out. This also
applies to the lubricant used in gears
and differential. 1t must be of con-
sistency to run in between the gears
as fast as it is forced out.
Now give a good look at the bolts

Farm-to-farm collection Of freight
on motortruck crates is practiced on
short rural routes where comparative
ly few stops are ordinarily made. Such
collection is costly both in time and
gasoline and hence necessitates high
err rates. The cross roads collection
system is popular also, the shippers
centralizing their produce at certain
points where it can be loaded on the
trucks. The central assembling
method where the shippers concen-
trate their freight at one point or
where a lighter auxiliary truck col
lects and delivers it is worthy of trial,
as it possesses many efficient features.
The delivery of the goods at their des-
tinations may be handled very salts
factorily in q similar manner.
Must Keep Accounts.
The small-scale truck line usually
collects the charges when the freight
is accepted, while the more elaborate
systems which haul regularly for diff
