STEALING A BIDE
Last Wednesday afternoon Sher
iff Piokelsimer received a phone
message from th^ sheriff of Green
ville, S. C., tilling him to look out
for a man in a stolen auto, which
had left Greenville the day before
headed this way.
About 3 p. m. a white man and
a negro passed down Main street
in a high-backed Maxwell car on
which there was no license tag and
took, as later transpired, the road
leading past Mr. T. H. Hampton’s.
The sheriff’s party started in pur
suit and met the negro coming
back walking and arrested him.
In a few minutes they met the
white man, who was also returning
in the car. Both were taken and
locked up in jail.
The white man gave his name as
Clarence Smith, and said that he
lived in Greenville. Ho was travel-
stained and disreputable looking,
and bis eyes had a wild glare, but
his manner was calm and collccted
enough as he told his tale. He ex
onerated the negro, saying that he
had picked him up in Greenville,
and did not want him to sufi'er.
Smith put the blame on himself
and boo'/e, which he says had made
him crazy. The car, he said, had
been loaned to him by J. M. Steele
of Greenville to carry a man homo, j
and after he had performed this!
mission, whiskey did the rest. j
The negro gave his name as Tom |
Robinson, and rolling up his s^leeve |
I showed ihe letters T. J. li. as cor-1
Iroboratinf' hjs statement. He pro- j
fessed to know nothing ubont the ;
I white man beyond his acquaint-1
; linen on thi.s exciting riJo. i
{ When Smith wus in theueigh-}
! borhood of Cedar Mountain on his |
! ride, the much-driven Maxwell fe.l i
j in need of re^mir. He phoned ln') e 1
I to Mr. A. H. King for help, giving |
his name us West tjf Greenvillr.j
Mr. King sent the needed batteries
and received a worthless check ia
payment. The transtormation of
Smith in Greenville to West at
Cedar Mountain und 1 ajk again to
Smith behind the bars of the Bre
vard jail was worthy of eomi.ari-j
son with Dr. Jekyll'and Mr. Hyde. J
I xlfter notifying the sheriff of j
j Greenville county of the cdjiture j
I the rnnuwuy, Sherift' Picl.clsijner {
I received a message that the (Irven
j ville ollieer would eomo to iJrevui 1
! on,the train Thursday. Ho al.so
! stated that Smith w«s u noted
I crook and would net d eIo.se vcatell

Most Prompt and Effectual Cure
for Bad Colds.

When you have a bad cold you
want a remedy that will not only
only give relief, but effect a prompt
and permanent cure, a remedy that
is pleasant to take, a reintidy that
contains nothing injurious. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy meets all
these requirements. It acts on
natarii'a plan, relieves the lungs,
aids expectoration, opens the secre
tions and restores the system to a
iiealthy condition. This remedy
has a world wide sale and use, and
can always bo depended ui>on. Sold

Please give me a small space in
your paper that I may say some
things in regard to the life and
death of Brother J. M. Morgan.
J. M. Morgan died at his home
near Chsrryfield on Friday morn
ing at 9 :;?0 o’clock, April ^!, 1911.
Brother Morgan wus sixty-three
years nine months and seventeen
days old und had lived the greater
part of his life on his farm near
Ch(!rryfleld, and after having
reached matni'c age he was made
to realize the need of living a
higher and better life. He there
fore gave his heart to God, united
with 'the Mt. Moriah Baptist
church and was Baptised by Rev.
F. M. Jordan, remaining a member
of his churcJi till his death. He
was for many years superintendent
of his Sunday school and a regular

he had iv host of friends was mani
fested at the funeral service by the
large audience that attended the
service.
The children desire to thank tho
neighbors and friends for their help
and kindness during the illness
and death of their father.

A BEAUTIFUL BOOKLET
i
The catalogue recently issued by
the Frenoh Broad Summer Camp is
a well-printed, carefully prepared
booklet and will not only serve to
place the claims of the promoters
of the camp school before the pub
lic, but will also'be of great adver
tising value to the town as well.
The booklet is profusely illustrat
ed, containing a number of pictures
never before shown, showing the
beautiful location selected by Capt.
H. E. Raines and his associates, to
gether with a large number of
river views at and near the camp
sito. In the preparation of the
booklet, as in the building of the
camp, no expense has been spared
and the results will doubtless jus
tify the action of the school men.
In the text matter the book tells
in a clear-cut business like w’ay the
the many advantages offered by the
French Broad Camp, explaining its
purpose, what the camp is not and
what the camp is. In describing
the location of the camp the pro
moters recite the fact that they
spent several months in looking
over various states for the location,
that they found ideal conditions
here. The excellent hotel and rail
road accommodations of Brevard
are also fully set out, and a tribute
to the local scenery, climate, etc.,
is made.
The booklet al.so tells of the splen
did facilities furnished for boating,
swimming, irtitriping, etc . giving
an.oatliue of i^-iHlncutlinial vfork.
athTvties, et^-;?’feeveral pages arc
devoted to recommendations of the
camp promoters from prominent
educators, business men and others.
The booklet makes very interest
ing reading, und from reports from
Charleston it is showing very grat
ifying results. A large number of
appications and inquiries have al
ready been received and more are
coming in daily. W^e predict for
the camp school a big success.

The clean up campaign observed
last week can well be called a suc
cess. Although some expressed the
opinion that all the garlago that
would be collected could bo hauled
at one load, one team was busy all
day and another for most of the day,
and with all that they did not get
everything hauled. ^ Taking the
short notice property owners had
into con.cideration we believe a very
creditable showing was made, and
much improvement can be noticed.
All that is needed now is for the
health officers to get behind those
property owners who did not clean
up and make them do it.
Wc have had some fine woather
for work and tho people have been
doing a lot of it. Some are done
planting corn and some have not

Widow M. M. Cash had tho mis
fortune to lose two good cows, the
only cows she had ,rerently. They
