Mike Kustas is on trial this after
noon for violation of the ordinance
against selling Intoxicating beverages
and concoctions containing more than
four per cent. alcohol. The principal
witness against Mike is his bottle.
Chief Johnson caught Mike selling
something in bottle and walked in
and bought it himself, or. procured it
as an officer under the law. The bot
tie is marked "Bitter Wine'' and is
guaranteed to contain from 16 to 1S
per cent. alcohol.
Mike offered no testimony on the
trial contenting himself to rely on
the alleged weakness of the evidence
of the City. He is being defended by
VIM. N. Graydon, of Columbia, and
J. NJ. Nickles, of Abbeville. D. H.
Hill is representing the state.
The, jury trying the case is com
posed of J. S. Cochran, Foreman; j.

LOOKING UPWARDS

' Hon. J. Moore Mars, mayor OF
Abbeville is not one of these men
who are satisfied with small honors.
It is true that he is rounding out his
second term as mayor of the finest
city in the state, but even> this fails
to satisfy him. He looks forward to
being a citizen of Greenville Street,
where dwell the elect. And in order
that he may make start upwards
he is moving lumber to his lot on the
West side of the street Of quality
and will begin shortly the erection
of a modern bungalow. g. .

AUTOMOBILE COLLISION

North Main street had an auto
mobile collision Tuesday evening
about nightfall. The truck Of Col. R.
L. Mabry and the car of DR.. Guyton
came together in front of the resi-
dence of DR.. ]. R. Power. The
Mabry truck was being driven by
Cecil Tate while DR.. Guyton was
driving his own car. ....4.''
The Press and Banner man this
morning called on Col. Mabry, who
won a setback game last night, for
information about the accident. Be-
fore we could ask him any Dues
lions, however, he volunteered the
information that 81 am politically
defeated, financially busted, and
vehicularly torn all to hell, but the
finest setback artist in town." !
The accident from information
coming to US was unavoidable. A
wagon was coming down North
Main, street and the Mabry truck
was following it. In undertaking to
pass around the wagon, not seeing
DR.. ,Guyton approaching, the truck
ran ,head-on into the Guyton car
just as it was about to meet the
wagon. Neither driver was able to
stop his car before the collision.

: A LTHoUGH William Makepeace
 A\ Thackeray was one of the great c = letter writers of the Victorian period, his slightest note bearing the im- press of his whimsical and delightful per- sonality, the world has waited for more than half century for a reasonably com plete collection of his letters. Those which he wrote to Mrs. Brookfield. the Baxters, and various kinsmen and klns- women have been published in the maga- zines and later in book form, but no one has undertaken to bring together from widely scattered sources the hundreds of letters which, arranged in chronologlcai order and adequately annotated. would furnish a continuing and illuminating rec ord of his life as an author.
