Big Crowd Attend#
Used Auto Auction
Buying an automobile at your own
price proved to be a popular move,
judging by the results secured Sat
urday in the automobile auction sale
staged by Herman Shneider, of the
Schneider Motor Co., distributors of
Olds "Four” autos in Americus.
Friday afternoon’s edition of the
Times-Recorder carried the first and
only announcement of the Saturday
action sale. Three cars were put up
and three cars were sold, each car
going at a price that delighted the
bidder.
The sales room of the Schneider
Motor Co. was taxed to hold the,,
crowd, Mr. Schneider said. The bid
der.. were good-natured and seemed
to enjoy the novelty of the scheme,
Mr. Schneider is contemplating
holding other used car auction sales
in the near future.
Crisp Grand Jury For
More Time On Taxes
CORDELE, June 6.—The Crisp
county grand jury which has just ad.
journed failed to indict delinquent
corporations for non-payment of spe
cial taxes, and in its presentments
asks that more time be granted to
all classes of the peopplc for payment
of special taxes.
The rule of economy was brought
into play by the recommendation,
that the jailer be allowed only 50
cents per day each for the feeding
of prisoners. Also a recommendation
was made that the jurors be i)ai<l
the sum of $2 per diem while attend
ing court.
