Didn't Know twas Loaded.

William Leak Monday afternoon
drove his new Studebaker in front
of the Everett store for gas. After
filling the tank, Mr.. C. w. King got
in the car to admire it, and Just to
see how the beautiful thing would
respond, he stepped lightly on the
seif-starter-and he got surprising
ly quick response. The car was in
reverse gear, with the accelerator on
full. And so when the self-starter
the car got in motion, and
it is estimated that machine sped
backward with amazing speed. On
the opposite side Of the street was
standing Elmore Manor's car, and
full into it backed the Leak car. The
Manor car was damaged to the ex-
tent of a smashed wheel and fen.
der. but the Studebaker was un-
hurt other than bent tail-light.
Mr.. King says he will know next
time whether the blame thing is
loaded or not.

Chamberlain Deposits
$4OO Cash Forfeit

The information received by
the paper from Bennettsville just
before going to press on Thurs
day of last week to the effect that
DIR, E. H. Chamberlain, dentist
of Rockingham, was going to pay
a $400 fine rather than face a
trial. This was a bit premature;
as matter of fact, the doctor
did not actually submit to the
four whiskey charges against
him, but in substance one might
consider it a submission.
DR.. Chamberlain was arrested
on Wednesday night of last week
in a house in Marlboro county,
with him being Charlie Bowers.
A large still was found nearby.
He was locked in Bennettsville
Jail, and four charges preferred
against both the men transport
ing, retailing, manufacturing and
storing whiskey. He and Bow
ers remained in Jail until Monday
afternoon when Mrs. Chamber
lain and her lawyer, ]. Chesley
Sedberry, went to Bennettsville
and without the necessity of trial
posted with Col. ]. P. Gibson,
magistrate, a cash forfeit bond of
$400.
Now the reason this paper says
this might be considered equiva-
lent to a submission to the charg-
es is because Col. Gibson informs
the paper that SO far as his re-
cords are concerned the case is
ended and that there is no time
set for his trial; no such return
contemplated. Had he gone to
a trial and been convicted, the
fine would have been 500 in each
case, a total of $400.
Bowers bond was $500, and it
is said he intends returning to
