We do not know what's in Mr. Ford's mind any more than you do, but we do believe that RUMOR of marked changes in the Ford car is entirely supposition. To change the Model T Ford car would be —as we see it—like killing- the goose that lays the golden egg. We believe that you can buy the Improved Ford of today, and get the BEST dollar's value in automotive power that money can buy. The large number of Ford cars sold shows that there is the most value to be had in a Ford at the folowing prices (delivered in Williamston): ROADSTER $420.00 TUDOR SEDAN ! 565.00 TOURING CAR 441.00 FORDOR SEDAN 616.00 COUPE 554.00 TRUCK CHASSIS 376.00 Wire Wheels Standard Equipment on AU Closed Cars Look at the figures are given authentically below of a few States and for the shortest month in the year, too.

Too Many Dogs The large number of dogs running may die from contact with this sow. large in the town and country are The State should raise, the dog tax iuite a hazard to the lives of the J until it counts. It would not only people. It is rather a common thing help the treasury but would make life to hear of a dog running around and tind property safer, snapping and biting other dogs, peo ple and stock. Last week, Mr. Rob- People who love dogs well enough ert McClaron had a nice sow to die to keep them to annoy their neigh by having a fit and falling in a mud- born by barking, distributing fleas, hole, where she was drowned. The and making life and property unsafe head was sent at once to the State will not mind paying taxes.

Now pay the tax is better off it may be that many other animals without a dog. tlipse which have been set out many j i times before. The general idea of j j liberty is to outline the things we j • want to do, then write them down' 1 1 1 and proceed to do them. It has taken a long, long time to 1 j build a constitution under which we | can all live in safety and have the j j same fully guarnnteed, yet plenty of; 1 j men are constantly fighting the con- j stitution in both word and deed; and] , call their doing so liberty. Disre- j spect for right would be a much bet ter name. 1 . ' | It now looks as if we are going to j get out of China and quit. There | seems to be too many to kill, and we ! can't chastise them without shooting [ them; so it begins to look like the. I safest thing to do is to run. ' Only one more week and then I clean-up and fire prevention week, s If observed, this will save lives and i property besides improving the ap t pearance of things.
