AUTO THIEVES
QUICKLY CAUGHT
Last Monday morning Pelham
saw another example of the speed
with which the law sometimes acts
when two young automobile thieves
were caught iu this city.
Early Monday morning: these
young men, whose names were not
learned, drove to the Hand Trad¬
ing Company filling station, and
stated that they were short on
money, but that they would be
glad to swap a battery at a very
low price for gas.
Failing to iuterest Mr. Dekle in
this trade they offered to sell him
the Ford roadster which they were
driving, a good one, for $50
In view of the suspicious man¬
ner in which the young mm were
acting aud in view of the fact
that the liceuse tag had been re
moved the Underwriters Agency in
Atlanta was wired, and it devel¬
oped that the car was stolen from
Columbus.
Not being able to get gas or
money, the young men had already
left the car and proceeded South
on foot, but were overtaken and
arrested by Marshal Smith.
Officers from Columbus came
Monday night and carried the car
aud the men back home.

HUGE CAVE OF ICE
FOUND IN MOUNTAIN
A subterraueau icefield has late¬
ly beeu discovered iu the Taunen
gebirge, or Pine Mountains, on the
outskirts of the German village ot
Salzberg, known to the musical
world because of Mozart’s conuec

tic room in the interior of the
mountain, the floor, walls aud
ceilings of which consist of solid
ice. Being at an elevation of
2,000 feet, unexposed and open

the Artie or north of the Autartic
Circle- Sixteen miles of it have
already been explored, though less

bought at a small qost, up to the
big expensive power machines cost

ped with powerful lights for night
poisoning.
Aud with few exceptions the
machiues did fine work, both those

several hours, aud averaged well
over a hundred at all times. All
told several hundred progressive
farmers attended the demonstra¬
tion at Pelham.

All crops have been experienc¬
a wonderful growth duriog the

this week from the field of Stubbs
aud Wilkinson that measured over
eight inches in circumference, at-d
it had already begun to turn pink.
