MOTOR PUFFs

Instances where race horses nave been
used to haul buggies for their owners
when their racing lays are over are often
roted by horsemen. but cases where aN-
cars being used for ordinary town use
are not SO numerous. One recent case Of
this kind is that of Charles f.. Stoppanl,
Of the Larchmont Yacht Club, and his &C.
third In the first twenty-four-hour race at
Morris Park in September. Before the
race Mr.. Stoppani had a touring body on
the car, which. was put on again after
the machine had made S92 miles in the
contest. Now, however. a landaulet body
Is being fitted to the chassis. and Mr.. Stop
PAM intends to use the machi. in and
around New York.
1t is q curious morganatic union. this
Florida beach race meet Of mex March,
with "Shattuck's garage putting the ring
on the finger of the Florida East Coast
Automobile Association. and the parental
A.. A. A. saying: "Bless you, my children. -
Still, anything goes under the marriage
rules of the automobile game.
An interesting illustration of how the
mechanical controversies of the automobile
engineers gradually adjust themselves Is
shaft drive, Broadly speaking. the chain
drive may be said to be European and the
shaft drive American. but the two points
OF view are converging to agreement, for
the American designers are showing q
tendency toward adopting the chain drive
for high-powered cars, while the foreign
makers employ the shaft drive for small
cars. The balance of the problem is ex-
empli1ed in the American Locomotive Mo
tor car, which being of French design and
built here, may be taken as representative
of the highest type in combination In
this car, the double chain drive is used
for go and 40-borsepower models, and a
shaft drive for the 22-horsepower town
car: This draws the line clearly and the
attitude of the wise ones toward his car
seems conclusive Of the propriety of the
policy.
When they are pinned down to the facts,
the majority of automobile dealers admit
that there Is more talk about hard times
than is warranted by the actual state of
business now as compared with other
years.
Charles T. Terry, chairman Of the legis-
lative committee Of the American Auto
mobile Association. hopes to have all
worked out soon the problem of uniform
laws for automobilists in the several
States. This is part of the work being
done by the A. A. A. of benefit to all
motorists, yet those who accept these
boons of the national body with least
thankfulness are generally those who do
not even give 1t the support of being a
member.

NEW YORK TO
PARIS ROUTE
FOR CONTEST
Automobiles Will Cross Con-
tinent, Behring Straits
and European Countries.

To conduct an automobile race from New
York to Paris, via Chicago. Seattle, Alaska
crossing the Behring Straits to Siberia,
then to Russia, Germany and France, is
the mammoth undertaking now being
planend. c. II. TaBgeman, of the Auto
mobile Club of America, has made the first
definite entry for the contest, which is to
be conducted next summer by lie Matin,
one Of the leading Partisan daily papers
It was this same paper that ran the Pek-
ing to Paris contest last summer In which
Prince Borghese finished days ahead of the
other competitors. For the race of next
year, which trsnseends all other automo-
bile contests in magnitude and spectacular
interest, entries from all the great automo-
biie-huilding nations arc expected on ac-
count Of the contest starting FROM New
York, which is one OF the greatest asto-
mobile markets of the world. Mr.. Tango
man is to drive a 25-horsepower Hoi-Tan
car, with a special body, equipped for car
rying a large amouIAt of fuel and food
supplies.
Though a young m as years so, MI
Tangeman is a veteran in automobiling.
He began driving a car early in 1899, when
he was a student at Munich, Germany.
L II hc a a Il 1R nv 49,
his license number for this car was the
eighth registration issued by the state OF
Bavaria, having been taken out on March
3, 1890. He sold this car and bought an
air-cooled D%ecauville the same year. i'll
1900, while In Sicily, Mr.. Tangeman bought
his first four-cylinder car, a 12-16-horse-
power Flat. which was the first Fiat ever
brought to this country. Strenuous touring
will be no new experience for Mr.. Tango
man, as, In addition to a great deal of driv-
ing in this country, he has toured in
Alsiers, Egypt. Germany, Italy, Austria,
France. Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Eng
land, Switzerland, Greece and the Domin-
ion Of Canada.
In a letter to Max L. Paroutaud, Arleri-
can correspondent of Le Matin. Mr.. Tango
man says In part: I'VE are greatly inter-
ested In the news that your paper has
planned a race from New York to Paris.
As you know, we are now manufacturing
our W automobile, the Hol-Tan, and
feeling that this test OF the ability OF an
automobile constructor will prove the
worth and ability OF a car, just as your
Pekin TO Paris race demonstrated this
same point, we beg to offer you our entry
of n Hol-Tan car for the proposed race.
w congratulate you and your paper
heartily as sponsors for an event so valu-
able to the automobile industry. and beg to
say that we will do all I'm our power to aid
your project. and to show that the ability
of an automobile Is virtually unlimited"

LOCAL AUTOISTS NOW PLAN A
1,OOO-MILE ENDURANCE CONTEST

The four-day trip by water, winding N
mud out among tropical views, was a con
slant source of delight. and few OF the
party who made this trip last winter VIII
miss making It again with Mr.. Baker this
winter. The rush for boats capable of do
ing the journey will be great. and 1t is
even proposed to establish at st. Augustine
a regular line of packet boats to accommo-
date independent parties.
We might imagine the future dream. as
did Jules Verne dream OF Twenty Leagues
Under the Sea" Verne's dream has come
true and there are reasons to believe that
in the future we may see an aifship sail
ing over our land. freighted with an am
phibious motor boat and automobile capa-
bic of great speed in the water and on
of its terrors and with n combination
OF air, water and land vehicles the aero
auto and motor-boat crank would all be
combined in one.
C%hioago's three-day endurance run for
the trophy offered by Samuel A Miles
promises to be an event In the history OF
the year. The entry list is certain to in
every one of the ~well-known cars.
The trophy is as pretty or prettier than
any ever offered and will be a decoration
or dealer In his showroom. The already
large entry list is being added to daily. and
the competition Will be keen. Among the
later entries for the great contest arc
Pierce Great Arrows, both OF stX-cylinder
construction, one of 40 one oil 90
horsepower. These cars have won so stead
lily In previous contests that they now rank
as foremost among the contenders in any
event. Joe Lawrence will drive one car
aud Teddy Dcy is likely to drive the other.
Should Mr.. Dey not drive. the George NJ.
Pierce Company may put forward Arthur
Kumpf. John Williams or a number of
other experts, for the force in charge Of
operation of Pierce cars today is one Of
Inc largest, and upon the record, one of
the most expert ever put out.

As they pursue more closely the policy
of looking carefully after the satisfaction
of users Of their cars, the American mnnu-
facturers are becoming to greater extent
patrons of imported materials for certain
parts and Of some foreign methods. 4 mo-
table example of this fact in a 1908 car that
has made a stir is found in the Rainier,
Building the new 45-50-horsepower model.
the same designer of former Rainier
models has incorporated imported L. *
S. bearings. while the main engine bear
ings are of babbit metal, enclosed in
with the best foreign practise. 1t Is this
sort of brosd-mindedness in seeking high
grade materials that gives classiness to a
car.

TALK TO CHILDREN.
Miss Shaner Of Missouri Gives En-
tertaining and Instructive Lee
ture.

Miss Rowena Shaner, of Missouri,
addressed the children at the meeting
Of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, in the Lutheran Church
Of the Redeemer, on Sunday after
noon. In the very outset of her ad-
dress she got the interest Of the
children, and she held it throughout.
She told them in the beginning that
she would be unable to make her ad-
dress unless they helped her, and the
children helped her, and it was a
most excellent address, not only for
the children, but for the grown peo-
pie rs we'll. The children paid strict
attention, and every question she
asked them during her address was
promptly and intclligently answered.
Miss Shaner began by telling the
Bible story of David and Goliath. She
said that there were giants stalking
abroad today, TOO numerous to men,
ton in her short address, but she
mentioned several. which she warned
the childlSn against. The first of
these was the Alcohol Giant. Tnis
giant could be conquered. she said.
Trust in God was necessary, and the
giant would be overcome as it had
been overcome recently in Georgia
and other states. There was one IL
quor shop that every one could close.
she said, and this was liquor shop
just under the nose. She had the
children and The grown people, too, to
repeat the little verse,
"There is little liquor shop that
every one can close,
1t is little liquor shop just under
meath your nosc.'
The other giants to which she called
special attention were the Cigarette
Giant, the Swearing Giant, and the
Impurity Giant.
BY request of the president, Mrs.
Joseph Sprott, Of Manning, the de.
votional exercises on Sunday after
noon were conducted by Mr.. r. c..
Williams.
At the beginning os the exercises
the president announced that on ac-
count of the bad weather on Saturday
evening Miss Eta Shelley had not
been able to deliver her address Of
welcome. Miss Shelley delivered her
address. and il was responded 10 by
Miss fannie Bradnan. Of Manning.
Both the welcome address and The
response were excellent in composi-
tion and delivery.

STRONG AND VIGOROUS APPEAL;
Mrs. Armour Makes Address for Pro-
hibition-She Spoke of the
Remedy.

The Lutheran Church Of the Re-
dccmcr was crowded with the w. C.
I. I. delegates and the people Of
Newbcrry, on Sunday evening, to
hear The address delivered by Mrs.
Mary Harris Armour. who is at the
head Of the w. c. 7. U. workers in
Georgia. There can be no doubt of
Airs. Armour's earncstncss, and that
she acrompl;shcs results was shown
by the fact that at the conclusion Of
her address she raised about on hum
dred and forty dollars for the cause.
In beginning her address Mrs. Ar
mour said the people mad enough Of
the horrors of intempcrance; the re-
medy now was wanted. The remedy,
sAc saih, was prohibition. South Car
olina must vote ont whiskcy, she said,
and get rid Of this black stream Of
death that is Flowing throuth her.
She spoke Of the personal response
bility resting on every one.
Everybody has their Influence, she
said. South Carolina needed and New
berry needed hundreds of ordinary
men and women filed with the spiri.
Of God. There was no use for any one
to say you can't, she said. She urg-
ed the workers to be Informed, say
ing ignorance was the greatest foe
God had. If the people really knew
~ ha{ al hnl
governor 10 call an extra session Of
the Legislature to vote it out. Alcohol,
she said, was several different kinds
of poison. She spoke of the infamy
of the legnlizcd liquor traffic. She
compared those who wanted the re-
venue from il to Benedict Arnold and
Judas. She charged the liquor men
with sending men over the country
TO treat the boys and to create in
them an appetite for liquor. "Every
bottle OF liquor sold across The coun-
icrS in South Carolina is your bot
tl'.' she said, "nnlcSs YOU are doing
all in your power I" overthrow it,
She rave Il history Of the prohibi-
li"n movement in Georgia. and Of the
part taken in il by the w. c. n. u.
workers. She said they had memoir
ializcd The various religious bodies in
Georgia and through thcir efforts q
special day had been set apart for
encouraging the movement, and when
that day came, she said, she could feel
the prohibition wave sweeping over
the state. She btlicvd the Atlanta
Georgian, the prohibition newspaper
in Atlanta, sprang up in answer to
her prayers and the prayers Of other
devoted temperance workers.
At the conclusion of her address
Mrs. Armour secured 500 in
amounts ranging from five dollars to
twenty-five dolNrs, and after that
the collection plate was passed. and
f"rty-one dollars additional were TAX
en- up.
