RIOTER m Charity cover a multitude of sins. So do enclosed cars. Reggie is so cheap that he reminds me of a Ford. But, my dear, his clutch is so dif ferent. As cars increase, it is only a ques tion of time when pedestrians will be come extinct. '' __ i Statistics reveal thnt for every i girl who leaps from a speeding ear I at midnight, fifteen more should—! but don’t. The road to heaven is filled with folks going lickcty-split the other way. More limousines seem attached to stars nowadays than wagons. The girl I hate la Mabel Bright She signals left Then turns right. One man has named his flivver "Nurmi, the Flying Tin.” A sign over n garage in a small western town reads “Use Genuine Parts. No substitutes are as good. Ask the man with a wooden bg. He knows.” Now that we have four-wheel brakes, how about four sighted driv ers? By the time the air flivvers become numerous, it is to be hoped that the monkey-wrenches and other tools will be equipped with parachutes. 1$ is almost as hasardous to step on the gas as to, blow it out. Another irony of life occurs, snaps Zeno Wall, when a faith healer has to drive his cur into a repair shop. I To the warning Cross Crossings Cautiously there should be added Meet Motors Carefully and Pass Ped estrians Prudently. With many there is no perfume so popular as the odor of burning gaso line. Four wheels—two axles—four flat tires—and a dented, hanged-up pan; one cylinder and a pint of gas, no wheel brakes and the reader has a real collegiate can. The universe moves in cycles and, Horace Grigg says, the law on motor cycles. “ Almost all Americans can drive a car, snaps Roscoe Luts, if driving consists in sitting at a wheel and trusting to luck. ' Terry, riding with Tim in the lat t<srs motor car, began to worry as they approached a grade crossing neck and heck with ui express train. "Wouldn’t ye better stop and let her go by firat?’ he asked. “Aw, what’s the matter with ye?’ demanded Tim. “Can’t ye see the sign'tailin’ the engineer to look out for the cars? The knowledge that you didn’t break the speed law is small eonsola ti«n when the other fellow beats you to the parking space. Distance lends enchantment, particularly with respect to roughei cheeks. BETTER than GOVERNMENT SPECIFICATIONS Forty-two degrees better la boiling point! Better throughout the whole range of distillation! The result— better engine work. You can’t mistake it. The near Texaco will furprise you. Our pumps dispense it. C. B. Elliot & Co. t Polkville, N. C. Charter No. 6776 Rmne Dint rift No. 5 REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHEL BY.

MULL, County Auditor. Back In Lincoln After Many Years Lincoln Co. News. Mr. Charles Motz, of Abilene, Texas, prominent business man now age 83 years formerly of Lincolnton, is visit ing relatives and friends in this city and section. Mr. Motz is a son of the late An drew Motz, of Lincolnton. He left Lincolnton 56 years ago for Texas to cast h's lot in a state then wild and wooly. His return to Lincolnton, his old home town after an absence of a half dozen years and a half century in the days when Lincolnton was tiny; is a revelation to Mr. Motz. He finds hero a few citizens he formerly knew a few houses he recognizes, remnants ol old Lincolnton, these being the North State hotel which his grand father the late John Motz built over 100 years ago, the Inverness, which was built before his birth, by Col. John Hoke, the home of Mr. Wm. James and the Phifer residence now the home of Mr. J A. Abernethy on West Main. The. balance of Lincoln - ton is brand new to this distinguish ed visitor who has not forgotten his home town even after more than a half century has elapsed. Mr. Motz states that his wife who was before her marriage a Miss Boyu of Virgina, is also in perfect health. They have three sons and two daugh ters living. Mr. Motz’s father who was drowned in the Sout hFotk in 1859, built the Laurel Hill mill, now known as Elm Grove, in 1857. The visitor from Texas is a Confederate veteran, hav ing served in Capt. A. S. Haynes company, and he states that he had hoped to find some of his old comrades here but has thus far failed. Among one older citizens of his former ac quaintance here is Mr. R. M. Rose man. Progress on all hands at I.incolnton and section is a revelation to Mr. Motz, who is still active, and it goes without saying he is enjoying his visit to modern Lincolnton, a city of • strangers to a former citizen. If golf or fishing interferes with your work try getting a job as an ex ecutive. J. A. Wilson See* Neil Cotton Picker From The Kershaw Era Mr. J. A. Wilson from Shelby, who is a visitor here says the concrete road from Yorkville to Rock Hill is one of the best built roads he has ever riden over. Stopping at Rock Hill for a few hours Mr. C. L. Cobb sen him around to see the Neil cotton picker which is now being put in shape there by an expert mechanic. Mr. Wilson says he has examined all the most important patents in Washington and that this is the only practical machine that he has seen, and that he thinks it fit ting that this honor should go to a South Carolinian as that the gin went to Eli Whitney. This machine is ready for your in spection and will be used in the fields this fall, claiming to gather !>5 per cent of the cotton from the bolls. Call and see it—it will interest you. The horse power in horse sense is something seldom appreciated and , little used.
