The participants in the Pine,
hurst run, April 1919, are prom,
isrd a good time. All the towns
along tie route have indicated a
desire to entertain and assist the
tourists all possible. 1t will man
ifestly be impossible to accept
all the invitations and attentions
offered, as too much time would
be consumed and the schedule
seriously interfered with.
One of the stops already ar
ranged for will be at Cheraw. 1t
will therefore be a pleasure for
the motorists to avail themselves
of the following invitation from
the Chiquola club of Cheraw:

complete it is impossible to know
what number TO provide for. Lo-
cal automobilists, as we'll as those
from other towns throughout the
state, are urged to notify Mr..
Hamilton as soon as possible of
their intention to 60 on the run.
There will be at least ten cars

Matthews.
This is TO be q sociability run,
not road race. There will not
be any list of rules formulated,
but all entrants will be requested
to adhere to the schedule as close.
ly as possible and. not TO pass
each other on the road unless the
car in front has stopped for some
reason.
A detail that will be arranged
for and that will make every mo.
torist on the run feel more com.
Portable is a repair car. This car

a full equipment OF tools, sup
plies, ETC., and will be accompa'
MED by at least two expert re-
pair men. In the event Of any
breakages the repair car will

necessary to enable the injured
car to proceed.

ability run by the Cheraw board
Of trade to partake Of light
