The experienced driver of a car realizes that upon no port of the

pend than upon the brakes. ; - -
Chalmers "Thirty-Six" has more braking surface. In, proportion
to weight than the biggest locomotives. , ; . ,
One of the largest passenger locomotives weights . 141,000.
.' pounds.' It has a total braking surface-of 1080 square inches.
That means that "every square Inch of braking surface has to care ,
' for 225 pounds of weight. V . ', ' "; .
As against this. compare the brakes on' Chalmers "Thirty-Six'
. The "Thirty-Six'' has 856.0 square Inches of braking surface. A
fully equipped "Thirty-Six" Touring car filled with gasoline and oil,
weighs 1637 pounds. ; ,
That's one square inch' of braking surface for every 10.2 pounds

I desire to say to the Tax Payers of Buncombe county that I must collect,
the state and county taxes fop the year of 1912, and up to this time the
payment 6f taxes has been very slow, and In view of this fact, and also the
fact I am being premted for more money by both County and Mate, and
lout but not leant to me. is the fact that I must vacate this office on June
1st, 11S, In order-to make room for my successor In of flee.
It is certainly "hot my purpose or desire to unduly press any one. or to
dhow Ingratitude to the host of friends who placed me in office, but I nm
imlnif to collect this tax In business way, as required by law and as ex
pected by all good clti.ens. .
On the 1st day of V.irch I shall begin to advertise the real ctato and
