occasion TO visit some OF his holdings
In southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad
and II was necessary TO finish the

After traversing several miles of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side Of hill The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at tho
man, who came to the fence, hopping
his face with red bandana.

His car is here at the Stanley garage on Twen- tieth street. but will be shipped to New Orleans and repaired Homer George, who manages Strang, with William Pickens, has gone to Atlanta for day, from whence he will make a trip to New York and return 10 New Orleans.
 Strang is as sure he can drive a mile in from I5 to 50 seconds as he is that he had a mishap Tuesday. He is equally sure this is the fastest track in the world and within the new few weeks he will return here and make another attempt to gather bunch of records. Already he has be- gun arrangements. through Pickens and George for the manufacture of car es- pecally after his own plans for the Flor ida races and track records.
 The new car which Strang purposes us ing for records will have 1S0-horse power, and will be the fastest machine in the world-eVen faster than the Christie car. He intends spending two months in the factory experimenting the building Of the car and says that when he brings 1t out 1t will be perfect in every respect. The Christie car will also be used in emer- gencies.
