The Rock
of building buggies is all that is to
be desired. Comfort, duarability
and a light running quality are its
chief characteristics. All the weak
parts of the body, such as the seat,
back and dashboard, are exception
ally strong, to say nothing of such
parts as the wheels, the axles and
the springs.
A Little High
in Price, But
if you will only investigate, you
can easily see the reason. We have
just received a fresh shipment of
these buggies, and they are a fine
lot.

If Yon Drive a Car, IV Ciui ful.
Cheraw Chronicle.
A little eight year old girl was
run down and killed' by an automo
bile In the public stroma of Ander
son ono day last week. The wonder
Is more people are not killed. The
owners and drivers of these ma
chines should be more careful, and
there should be some regulation that
those who drive machines have some
training and experience before they
aro permitted to drive a car. Some
times some of the drivers soem to
be under the impression that every
body must get out of the way for
them that they have a sort of pre
emted right to the road. The ma
chines are here to stay but so long
as there are a few horses leftsome
pcoplo have a right to the public
roads and streets.
