Zhili Disintegrates



Declining morale has led to a mutiny and coup attempt in Beijing. This revolt resulted in the Zhili clique being pushed back deep into their own territory. In their retreat, Fengtian surrounded their forces and cut them off. Zhili asked surrounding cities for additional support. But leaders of these cliques declared neutrality. The Zhili leadership had little choice than to abandon their northern provinces to Fengtian, thus ending the war.

THE LE DEON

Easily the best-built marque in its class. It is the acknowledged leader at anywhere near its price. One evidence of its superiority is the fact that its builders are unable to come anywhere near supplying the demand for Le Deon cars. We've just received another 30 Le Deon's that you will be pleased to have! Interested? Call and see this wonderful machine. Let us demonstrate its superior qualities, its smooth, quiet tunning, and hill-climbing power. All roads look the same to the Le Deon. Fantastic. Be sure to see it. RIDDLE AUTO DEALERSHIP COMPANY. F.

Storm In Gear City Suburbs


Rock Hill was visited yesterday afternoon by a terrible electric and rainstorm, the lightning doing considerable damage to electric and telephone wires and striking several houses. On Saluda street, it hit the house of Mr. L. D.Wilkerson, doing some damage there. It also caught the home of Mr. Clark Starneson on East Moore Street. It is said to have hit the house in six different places. On Oakland avenue, the storm struck electric wires, tearing them loose from a house, and leaving the city in darkness for the night. West of the Gear City, the storm struck a barn, killing a mule, a hog, and setting fire to the barn, and burning it and its contents to the ground.
