While tho sale of automobiles In
Amerlcus Is constantly upon the In
crease many of these fine machines
are owned by farmers of Sumter and
neighboring counties, who now pre
fer the modern vehicle to the time-
honored buggy and tho "one-horse

more and more to the use of automo
biles In the country, nnd but few of
the prominent planters are without
autos. The increased use of the ma-
,'ohlnes Is doubtless stimulated by
the fact that the public roads in
this section have been built up to
(he point that automobiles can be
operated profitably and safely.
