The most interesting announce

From the standpoint Of the public,
NO test moro satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis.
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City. was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than suhcient to
bring out any weaknesses, II such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi.

who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore. 1t would have been impos.
sible for the driver Of the White to

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust.
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline. or vice
versa. may be made in a couple Of
minutes; but SO completely successful
has kerosene proved to be. that 1t is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars

4000-model-exceed their most san.
guine expectations. 1t is evident that

The complets success Of the new
fuel while o. the zS50-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
IN the following dispatch which the
correspondent Of tho New York Sun
sent to his paper At the conclusion Of
the tour:
"A feature q the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used ksro-

gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O.mile

behalf were fully proven. First of

line. Secondly. the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
It was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew Of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour. the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store

The Whiskey Question.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: I
see so much pro and con in regard to
the whiskey question, which is now
stirring up our people. Preachers
of the gospel all preach against It,,
but think the Bible poor weapon
to fight whiskey with. Of course,
everybody believes the dispensary
will be voted out. I mean every
body but some.
So far as the Bible concerns the
subject, it never was prohibited, but
lit never was sanctioned, so far as
am able to find in the Bible, only in
one place: Moses prohibited the
priest from drinking in the holy tab
|ernacle lest he should die. We read
where Joseph and his brethren drank
together and were merry.
And again, David speaks Of wine
that maketh glad the heart of man.
Solomon said: "Give strong drink
to him that is ready to perish and
wine to him that be heavy Of heart, !"
but later he says: wine is a mock
er; strong drink is raging, for at last
it biteth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder"
We are told in the B1ble where
Nabal got drunk and became as q
stone; and Benhadad and thirty-two
kings all got drunk together after a
battle. Now, boys, how would you
like to have been in that crowd, If
they were as disgusting in that day
as they are now? I think that would
be a lesson for our young men.
But Isaiah was hard against IT.,
for he says: Their tables are full
of vomit and flthiness and there is
mo place clean among them"
Habakuk says: "Woe unto him
that giveth his neighbor drink; and
lputteth the bottle to him.
Now, l want you all to read the
10th chapter of Genesis. Is not that
one of the saddest pictures in all the
Bible history?
In my next wish to give you some
facts and figures which I have OBJ
tained on the whiskey traffic.
