L .Four white men are accused of porming a murder ring, that already mas to its credit the deaths of twenty [Osage Indians. Oil had made them rich, and in 192,5, as in old Puritan days, it seemed to Christian white men wrong for Indians to have prop erty. They killed them then, and they kill them now But now it is illegal, and the Grand Jury will see about ■fchem. Wiser white men don't mur der Indians.

When Rutherford County began to , recover from the effects of the Civil I War and the period of reconstruc tion in the eighteen hundred and late eighties and early nineties, there are certain individuals who occupy a place of pre-eminence in her busi ness life. Among these are the late S. B. Tanner, R. R. Haynes, Dr. Geo. F. Young and J. F. Alexander and Dr. T. B. Lovelace, now of Macon. Ga. All of these, with the exception 1 of Dr. Lovelace, have "crossed the 1 river and now sleep beneath the : shade of the trees." These men were real builders in their day and time, and the future historian of Ruth erford county cannot write of its wonderful progress without having first in his mind's eye this group of , great men. j There is not a man in Rutherford j county who knew the mentality and fine traits of character possessed by J. F. Alexander, when he heard of his death, did not stop and think j what a "giant oak in a mighty for-. est has fallen." His benefactions to Round Hill Academy, Mars Hill and Boiling Springs, all exemplify the noble and generous impulses of the man. Without any ostentatious spirit and unknown, except probably to his closest friends and family, he educat ed out of his own funds a number of ministers who are now spending their lives serving others. His life was one of unselfish devotion to his family, his friends and his commu- j nity.—Rutherford S.un. w —- RUTHERFORD SUN'S NEW MANAGEMENT. The first issue of The Rutherford Sun under new management came ; out Thursday of lSst week, and was ; a most creditable issue, considering the handicaps of an after Christmas rush, the iack of adjustment to the new affairs under which the manage- I ment had to work, the breaking in of ' new men and other hindrances. Once | fairly underway,, the Sun gives prom ise of becoming one of the state's : foremost county papers. Messrs. | Wilson and Norris are to be con gratulated. j Under the caption, "Why the Sun is Under New Management," the editors say: "There has been some misunder standing as to the new interest in The Sun. The public is entitled to the facts which we are giving here. Last June, it came to the attention of the officials of Chimney Rock Moun tain?, Inc., that a person far remov ed from North Carolina was trading for a substantial interest in The Sun Printing Company. Feeling that it was to the best interests of Ruther ford County to keep the ownership here, Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., purchased and still owns the interest then about to be sold. The present management has no ambition other than to give the people of Ruther ford County a modern county news paper such as the development and progress of the county merits. As heretofore, politically, the paper will be independent. It will be the aim and policy to stand for clean morals and sound business, and to publish i 'All the news that is fit to print.' We believe we are coming into a period ' of progress and prosperity, such as ■ we have never dreamed of." | Overland Six Sets Two Records In Australia Touring Car Averages 51 1-2 Mile 3 an Hour in 24-Hour Non-Stop Grind. In the greatest series of motor tests ever held in Australia, the Overland Six tore off 1,235 miles in lished two speed and endurance rec ords which have set Australian people agog over the engine of this car. In a 24-hour non-stop spied run on an Australian Speedway, this Overland Six tore off 1235 miles in the 24 hours, averaging 51 1-2 mile? per hour —a new speedway record for cars of this type. In another remarkable test which graphically illustrates the °f the tJvorljtfYi 1 car made the run from Sidney to Burke and return, a distance of 1,025 mile?, in 27 hours and 57 minutes. This run established a new speed record for the Australian country roads over this course, when the Overland Six averaged 40 miles per hour on j the test. Both records were officially sup ervised and are considered emphatic proof of the reliability of the Willys- Overland engine to perform at high speed under all circumstances. In addition, several new runs were established by Willys-Knight; cars within the past three months that in dicate the reliability of this ar in Australia. R. Corden, Engineering Director of the Overland-Sidnty.. Ltd., reports to the factory that the remarkable performance of the Over land Six in these two speed records , and the performance of the Willys- Knight indicate the reliability of these cars to perform under the most unusual circumstances, inasmuch as these two tests were conducted under decidedly different circumstances. Willys-Overland has enjoyed a sales popularity in Australia exceed ing all previous records in this re spect.
