A Buick Roadster Satisfies
Thc“Six,"*l /65; The"Six-Sport,”*1625; The" Four," *865
For those who want the intimacy of the roadster
design, Buick provides a completely satisfying selection
of models, in appearance as well as in price. Business
men find the six-cylinder, two-passenger roadster weU
suited both to the work day trips and to social motoring.
Equally fine for these, and at the same time luxurious
in its appointments and smart in its snappy lines and
coloringis the six-cylinder sport-rosdster—the de-luxs
model of its kind.
While a modest, dependable and convenient car is the
four-cylinder roadster. And all are Buicks with all
that Buick provides in power, dependability and
flawless performance.

GREENVILLE, Ga., Nov. 18.—Ef-
j fort by the son to lay a homicide at
! his father's door and retort by the
latter that the sonr was the guilty
person, features a case which pro-
• pressed another day here today when
• D. G. Hendricks, the father, was giv-
| en a preliminary hearing before a
j justice of the peace, and bound over
| to the grand jury without bail, on
1 charges of murder. Son and father
both are now in jail.
! Both men are held in connection
I with the killing two years ago of
I Mattie Cox, aged 17, a negres9. The
i grand jury of Meriwether county two
I years ago returned an indictment
) charging Will Hendricks, the son,
»with the murder in connection with
' the crime. Will was not arrested at
j this time, but remained a fugitive
from justice until two months ago,
f when he was apprehended and lodg-
! cd in Meriwether county jail. Since
, then he told the Sheriff and others
j that he took no part in the homicide
but that his fater was the guilty par-
I ty. The two men, according to the
j evidence, had paid attention to the
I negress.
Son Has Father Arrested
As a result of the son's charges;
'the father was arrested on a war-*
rant charging murder. The main wit-!
ness introduced by the state was the
! son, who testified that his father was j
the sole perpretrator of the crime— j
that he had endeavored to dissuade ‘
'him from shooting. Other evidencei
I introduced was the dying statement !
i of the woman, placing the guilt upon j
the elder Hendricks, ar.d an alleged
confession on his part made to a rel-!
ative. The defendant insisted that j
he is innocent—that instead his son
is the guilty party. j
The elder Hendricks made no state- i
ment on the stand, but introduced j
the evidence of Bill Woodward, ne-1
gro, who is said to have been with j
j the woman when she was shot. Wood- j
j ward testified that the younger Hen-
I dricks killed the negress.
The woman lived on the farm of
the two men. She was making an
effort to leave the farm, it was tes-
! tified at the hearing. On the night
I of the homicide she went to a school
1 house in the town of Odessadale, 7
miles west of Greenville, to get cer-
' tain wearing apparel she had left
! there. With her, it was testified, was
j the negro Woodward. Entering the
j door to the house they were halted,
| according to the evidence, and a shot
fired, killing the woman. The
> man left the scene. Both the
ATLANTA, Nov. 27.—It has been
a marvelous transformation from
near bankruptcy in 1920-21 to com
parative prosperity in 1922—from 10c
cotton ami despair to 25-cent cotton
and good cheer—in the face of Eu
rope's scanty purchases, according to
Atlanta business men.
Forrest Adair, Sr., says it is not a
miracle. Mr. Adair keeps in close
touch with the investment world, the
real estate market and business gen
erally throughout the entire country
through the extensive connections of
the Adair Realty and Trust Company!
of Atlanta, of which he is the head.
It has the distinction of being the |
oldest company of its kind in Amer
ica.
It isn't marvelous, this transforma
tion, Mr. Adair points out, when one
comes to think of it. when one analy-]
sizes it and understands it. There
has been no miracle. Nothing has
been created by flat of government.
Thl* South itself has done it. The
people have lifted themselves by the
bootstraph, as It Were. That is, being
thrown back upon their own resources
the Southern folk were compelled to
depend upon themselves, to bring in
to play thei own ingenuity and they
have succeded in:
1. Adjusting supply to demand.
2. Financing and marketing intel
ligently; and
3. Improvising new methods of
credit to take place of defaulted
dethods of pre-war days.
It was the joint accomplishment
of farmers, merchants and bankers
of the South, who, in their necessi
ty, discovered and put to use talents
and facilities not before realized. It
has been a costly but valuable ex
perience. That is, it will prove of in
estimable value if the South takes
the lesson to heart, if it maintains
the practires &n<4 instrumentalities
of the achievement and perseveres
in self-reliance, rusiness mc?n here
say.

After a short but decisive argu
ment, the passenger arose from the
mud beside the track and sought the
police. He said he was Olaf Jansen,
n recent arrival from Sweden. He
carried his savings with him, he said,
so he was able to pay cash when a
prosperous looking stranger who sat
beside him on the same car, offered
to sell it to him for $100.
The stranger told Jansen he had
cleaned up $200,000 on the eight j
cents fare basis. They got off here
to complete the details. TV stran- j
ger then disappeared after directing ]
Jansen to board the car on its re-1

ho was the new owner. ,
