on the far side. Creeping along be-

presently to the great gantry crane
used for unloading the fuel. It was

trucks and a good part Of the yard,
and the clam-shell grab-bucket was
down, resting on its two. lips on the
ground.
At first thought of climbing to the,
framework Of the crane and trying to-
hide on the big bridge beam. Then
saw that the two halves of the clam
shell bucket were slightly open, just
wide enough to let, me squeeze in.

as husky as farm-hand-they'd never

trees had on a long travelling coat

Realizing that 1t wasn't Tarbell, I
stood perfectly still. The house was

HUDSON AND ESSEX
CONTRACT CLOSED
ritory is Taken Over by Williams
Motor Company Of Sumter.

Of the utmost Importance to To-
cal motoring enthusiasts was the
announcement made today that the
Williams Motor company has TAX
en- over the sale of Hudson Super
Six and Essex cars in this territory.
During the past ten years the
Hudson has achieved a worldwide
fame for it's beauty and endurance.
The Essex, which is also built in
first introduced to the public in
January, 1919, to fill the need for
a light, ve-passenger automobile
of the highest quality
From the very first it met with
overwhelming success, 10000 Es-
sex being built and sold in the
course of the first year. Combin-
ing all the features of comfort,
safety, luxury and beauty hereto
fore found only in the most cost
ly cars with the additional advan-
tage Of moderate first cost and the
utmost economy of operation, the
Essex filled real transportation
need.
During it's first year the Essex
proved it's leadership by capturing
more worth while records than
have ever been won by any other
stock car except the Hudson Super
Six during such short period of
time. In an official 115 mile test
at San Francisco it averaged 23
miles to the gallon of gasoline
In competition against much
larger cars the Essex broke all rec
ords in 110-mile race over the
mountainous course between Sacra-
mento, Calf, and Lake Tahoe, COW
cring the distance in hours and three
minutes, or 10 minutes faster than the
best previous record which was made
by Hudson.
In the famous 'Rim-o the w orld'
hill climb at San Barnardino, it won
first place in the light car class and
second place against the entire field,
climbing eight miles to an elevation
Of nearly 5000 feet in 10 minutes, a
seconds. The only car to make better
time was one costing nearly twice as
much and having q motor more thal
twice as large as the Essex.
Although the Essex motor is only
20 1-2 inches in length overall, it de-
vclops more than SO horse power and
conditions has amazed the motoring
it's performance under all possible
world.

farmers, and /the children of lawyers
and newspaper editors have mumps
and measles just like the children of
the farmers, and # this be true,
whence cometh the braying of the ass
in the wilderness for the election of
some farmer as the Governor Of the
State.
Whether Jesus be regarded as
merely a great philosopher or as a
God, it must be admitted the philos-
pohy of Jesus is responsible for the
freedom of the slave, for prohibition,
for the uplift Of woman and constitu-
tional government on the face Of the
earth, and therefore every good
citizen of the State has the same in
terest in the maintenance of Christ
ianity, whether he he farmer, preach
er, lawyer or what not, and the far
mcrs do not appear to have any
special or mOnopolistic interest in the
great subject of Christianity, and if
this proposition be conceded, am sat
isfied that the intelligent, Christian
people of this State will repudiate
any effort to elect farmer as the
the next Governor of South Carolina,
simply because said farmer happens
to be a farmer, and offers no evidence
of fitness, or fails to comprehend the
sacred and mmutablc principle that
the moral and economic interest of all
men are one and the same.
Yours truly,
