FORDS RUN "a MILES ON
GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in Coolest Weather.
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Saving.

A new earburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor
and reduces gasoline bills from one
third to one-half is the proud achieve
ment of The Air-Friction Carburetor
Co., 2023 Madison street, Dayton, Ohio.
This remarkable invention not only
increases the power of motors from
80 to so per cent, but enable every
one to run slow on high gear. It also
makes it easy to start a Ford or any
other car in the coolest weather. You
can use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power and
more mileage than you now get from
the highest test gasoline. All Ford
owners can get as high as "a miles
TO a gallon of gasoline. So sure are
the manufa cturers of the immense
saving their new earburetor will make
that they offer to send it on 80 days
trial to every car owner. As 1t can be
put on or taken off in few minutes
by anyone, all readers of this paper
who want to try it should send their
name, address and make of car to the
manufacturers at once They also
want local agents, to whom they offer
exceptionally large profits. Write them
today.-Adv.

He FACES ASSAULT CHARGE
State Warrant Issued for o. C. Bryant,
Negro.

State Warrant Issued for o. G. Bryant
Negro.
A state warrant charging o. C.
Bryant, negro, with assault with in
tent to kill, was issued today by
County Attorney Veale. The COM
plant charges that Bryant assaulted
Joe Jennings, another negro, with in
tent to kill, and in so doing wounded
Willie Wheat, a third negro. Bryant
also is charged with another count
with criminal negligence.
The alleged assault was the out
growth of a quarrel between Bryant
and Jennings over a crap game at the
latter's home, $40 North Taylor street,
about two weeks ago. Mrs Jane Sims
Williams, 2215. Union avenue, was
killed and several other negroes
wounded7in the wild shooting that fol-
lowed.
A eoroner's Jury which heard the
evidence in the case returned a YER
dict finding that Mrs. Williams had
come to her death thru bullet wounds
inflicted by unknown parties. Jen-
nings was released. 1t is believed
that a bullet from his gun killed Mrs,
Williams, but since he is held to have
been shooting in self defense he pro-
badly will not be prosecuted. officers
say. Bryant is in the county Jail.
