kind of heavy coating. This aroused
the suspicious of Messrs Luda Kay
and Breazeale Gambrell and they
reported the matter to some of
those living nearby, but no one
knew anything about the car OF why
it had been left there.
A paint and color card bearing
the name of Drug firm at
Fletchers, N. c., was found in the
car and Mr.. Kay took charge of
this. In the meantime the car was
taken to the house of a prominent
farmer of that section with instruc-

turned over to Sheriff Willis the
following morning.

FOUND FORp CAR
HIDDEN IN RAVINE

While on a fishing trip one day
last week a party from this section
found a practically new Ford car
hidden in a ravine on Saluda river a
few miles above the Belton Power
Plant in Greenville County. As the
machine was more than a mile from
any public road and no one was to
be found anywhere near. some
members of the party began a
search for the owner. An examina-
tion showed that the motor had
been recently re-painted and the

car had been left a few days be-
fore. They were informed by one of
the young men that his father had
sent him to carry the car back
to the spot where it had been found
as it might belong to some fisher
man. Mr.. Kay and the North Caro-
lima deputy sheriff returned to the
place where the car was first loca-
ted but no trace of it, could be
found.
They went on to Greenville and
reported the matter to the sheriff.
He told them he. had just received
information that the car had been
taken to the home of party living
a few miles below Princeton With
instructions to keep it until the
young men came for it. The names
of both parties who carried the car
to this place were given the
Sheriff by one who was at the home
where the machine was taken on
Friday night. The officers went to
this place and found the car just as
had been reported.

days ago. Mr.. Smith was obliged to
pay $42 in fines because OF the fact
that he had not complied with the
laws of Maryland in regard to auto
mobile driving.
81 was coming through this town
of Frederick, Maryland, a rev days
ago en- route from Flint, Mich, to
Clover he said Wednesday.
"There were three cars in our par
ty and when we reached this town
of Frederick, Maryland, an officer
halted US demanding to know where
our state license and Identification
cards were. told him we were from
South Carolina and had South Caro-
lima license numbers on the cars.
Then he wanted to know what we
meant coming through Maryland
without frosted glass instead of plain
glass over the lighting sys,em of the
cars. This was in plain daylight mind
you.
81 told him that in South Carolina
people had sense and didn't require
all that foolishness. AS for identif1-
cation cards l told him l didn't know
anything about that; but that if ex-
press travellers checks wouldn't do
for Identification l didn't know what
would. He said that wouldn't do and
that we would have to put up $40 for
each car because we didn't have the
proper license.
"Well it looked like Jail for US un-
til big Thad Clinton Who was with
us managed to get those travellers
checks cashed. Then the officer told
us that we would run into another
officer who would arrest us If we
were not careful and for the sum of
Sc he would show up the way to a
garage man who would show US how
to get out of town. There was moth
ing to do except come across with
the other Sc.
eve got to the garage man who
said he would get US out OF town for
Sc. There was $42 paid out in all. II
couldn't kick against the p:ra,es. We
were strangers in a strange land and
it was either put up or in Jail we
would go. |
81 made each of the foiG-up men
who were under the guise OF officers
give me receipt.
FINALLY we got out of that town
of Frederick and what we said about
them when we got away-well, you
wouldn't want to print thai.
"After / got home I mailed those
receipts to John R. Hart, ESQ.,, at
YorkvilIe and told him that if he
could collect the S42 he could have
it.

ATTENTION FARMERS!

Germany,our largest consumer of
low grade cotton has been out of
the market for the past six years on
account of the war and reconstruct
tion. In consequence an enormous
stock of this character of cotton has
accumulated and is practically un-
salable. l would advise the farmers
to take advantage of the open wea-
ther and pick cotton and leave all
other farm work alone. If bad wea-
ther comes in upon us the farmers
will lose thousands of dollars by
reason of additional low grades.
