V The Southerner's advice to all owners of automobiles is to keep a close watch on them on the street? and also to see that they are looked either with a chain or with Home other safety device. It will be remembered that on last Saturday . night a large Studebaker was stolen in Greenville ' and . the thieve.s were arrested here Sunday morning, , During tho Fair week at Greenville it is reported that six cars had been stolen on the grounds and on the streets of that town. : During the Fair' week here a Ford was taken from the outside of tho grounds and whirled away and no one has ever been able to locate it. Saturday night of last week, a man from the country stopped his car in front of Mr. R. H. Parkers store on Main street and he was hardly in the store before some one tried to steal it. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Frank Jorham brought his car "to the Jen kins Garage for some work to be lone on it. After it had been re paired, it .rolled out of the garage, !jD4&4laed near- the- idewa!k'i.ea he building, waiting for Mr. Gor lam to take it when he was ready to leave for his home in the country. But when his son called for the ar, it was not to be found. It had uysteriously disappeared and no one ould account for it. Some thief had lipped up and cranked it away. The morning reports at the City I all that are made every morning i y the policemen show that hardly night passes that there is not an ktempt to steal something. wust who inesc ui miiuuci t . 1- :...U4- .......... ,,l re the police have as yet been un- bile to tell. But from the indica- lons these thieves are not only small oys around town but they are ex erie.nced thieves. If this night stealing cannot be lopped, it would . be 'well for the cimmmissioners to double up the Ight force for a while, and add ex a me.i in the day time as well.

L, pnd J, E. Simmons, was brok en into, but fortunately not much of any value was taken therefrom. A barrel on the concrete step o the rear of the store excited the sus picion on the night policeman and he at once phoned to Mr. J. E. Sim mons who came to the store at once. The light to the window of the office was broken out, but the thief finding that this window was secure ly secured by several iron strips a ci'oss the outside, abandoned any furthur attempt here.

Across the door on the inside was a latgeiron pipe and this pipe was double braced by two more iron pieces. After this had been discovered, Mr. J. E. Simmons began a thor ough starch all over the store. He found that the cash register had been tampered with, but the party who tried to open the register knew-j nothing about the mechanician!' of! it, and instead of breaking it open, locked it so tight that they could not get into it.V There were sever al dollars in the register, but not a cent was missed from the register when it was opened. Nothing was missed, from the store and there is no clue as to who the thief was. RECEPTION BY MR, AND MRS. T. T. CHERRY A reception to the public will be given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.
