An Attempt Made Saturday
Night To Steal a Car In
Front of R. H. Parker's
Store. 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.

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.

Early Last Night
Last night between the hours of
nine and twelve o'clock the store of i
W. 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.
On the concrete step of the back

a barrel and on this oar-
rel the thief broke the top glass 0f
the door and reached his handinual convention of. the Northern . Viri

the brace that was used to hold the I
door in place. 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.
