many speed contests as the public is
willing to support.
Let us be loyal to our section of the
country first in all that, must touch
our private interests and local pride.
Let us work out our own salvation.
While 1t is admitted that any central
organization is good per Sc, when such
a combination becomes unwieldy or
caloused as to the needs or necessities
of another section, then we have the
right to secede, ana there are certainly
enough automobile associations in the
far west that could support such an
association as 1t is proposed to in
augurate at Seattle, and whether the
headquarters are placed in the north
ern city or in Los Angeles we should
give 1t our hearty support.
LIBERAL REPRESENTATION
AS in the national game of baseball,
so in automobile racing, two or more
big associations can live and find the
public support. A liberal basis of rep
resentation on the executive board can
be accorded each western state or dis
trict, and any tactics of any bunch of
officers that do not make for the pub
lie good should be decried, for the au-
tomObile racing sport must be clean
cut and unselfsh and the cause of
good roads on the Pacific coast can be
the more easily worked out than by
having to take into consideration the
demands of states where the climate
sometimes makes the proper construc-
tion of good roads impractical during
many months of the year. We want
the tourist travel on this coast and
our resources are such that we can
within limited time make the roads
from the Mexican to the Canadian
boundary SO good that motor car own
ers will be glad to spend their winters
with u.s.
Had the Pacific coast states not been
treated so shabbily. in the past by east
ern interests as pertains to the sub
ject In hand. there would never have
been the feeling engendered as is now
evidenced but the ''stand-patters' of
other sections, as well as a few in our
own section, must bow to the newt,
able and concede that insurgency in
affairs is perfectly in accord
with the demands of the situation and
every motor car owner and dealer, |
whether as individual or organization,
should boost the new association that |
IS about to be launched.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. s.-Eddie
Hearne. piloted his big Benz car to vic
tory in the 100-mile free-fof-all and
the 10-mile open event for the Speed
way helmet, and so carried off the ma
jority of the laurels in the first days
final racing meet in the Indianapolis
speedway today.
Hearne's victory in the 1OO-mile battle
netted him $1,000 in cash, and by win.
ming the short free-for-all he retained
possession of the Speedway helmet,
which he had captured at the July
meeting with the same car and which
bears with it a salary of $50 a week.
The second 100-mile struggle of the
program was open to stock chassis
cars, under 450 cubic inches piston dis
placement, and the Blue National, driv-
en- by Howard Wilcox. won without a
stop in the fast time of SO minutes 8
seconds with Charles MerZ, the other
National entrant, second.
MERz WINS BIG RECORD
A Sewell. driven by Jap Clenons, was
third in the long race. Merz is a new
star in the armament of racing cham
pions, and by his remarkable nonstop
success in the long stock chassis gains
possession of the silver Brassard, which
carries salary Of SIS week until the
end of the speedway contest season,
and also takes into the National camp
q trophy cup, both of which are Of
fered for the 100-mile Brassard classic.
The stock car race was more closely
contested than the Tree-for-all. The
two Nationals and Joe Dawson in a

BAKERSFIELD TO HAVE
HOTEL BUS FOR $4,000
Pioneer Commercial Company of
This City Manufactures Fine
Motor Cars

In all probability the finest CONNER
cial motor car in the world Is in Los
Angeles awaiting delivery, and 1t is
that hustling oil town, Bakersfield,
that will enjoy the distinction Of put
ting it in use for public purpose.
For a sale price of $4,000 the Pioneer
Commercial Auto company of this city
constructed for the proprietors of the
Southern hotel at Bakersfield the
handsomest hotel bus yet designed.
The contract called for a Reliance
motor track chassis, but the body was
built and the equipment furnished in
Los Angeles. Its carrying capacity is
twenty-five passengers. The uphol-
stery is of best leather with seats and
back of the air cushion type. The
woodwork is painted in a beautiful
brown shade and the running gear
black and yellow. The motor is 60
horsepower and is powerful enough to
overcome any and all road conditions.
Because of recent victories In the great
eastern motor truck endurance race
from Philadelphia to Atlantic City and
return, the tires selected are the Hart
fords, and they have been supplied by
the local firm of Chanslor & Lyon.
Phil Lyon feels particularly elated
at the selection Of his kind of tires,
for as stated the eastern contest was
the first of its kind ever held in Amer
lea. The success of commercial cars
depends very largely on the question
of tires. The Hartford solid motor tire
has been the longest on the market
and has always held supremacy for
endurance and economy. The method
Of Hartford tire attachment with side
hanges bolted on through wood felloe,
makes it impossible for them to be-
come loose or tear away.
Manager c.. B. Fuller of the Pioneer
company was the real originator of
this splendid hotel bus and was given
carte blanche orders to turn out a per-
feet car which would be used to haul
the oil nabobs from the station to the
hotel in Bakersfield. Mr. Fuller states
that the car will be sent under its
own power to Bakersfield some time
this week. A good photograph of the |
bus is reproduced above

colored Firefighters Commend

The Advertiser must not let this
opportunity pass without commend
ing the colored people of Edgefield
for responding so generally to fire
alarms and for rendering such
valuable service after reaching a
fire. While Mrs. Sheppard's home
was threatened with destruction
Sunday afternoon the faithful SER
vice that was rendered by the color
ed men came directly under the
writer's observation, and we com
mended some of them for it at the
time. Though they had absolutely
nothing at stake, the colored men
worked as valiantly as did the white
men, at times risking their lives and
damaging their clothing. We do not
believe that there is any place in the
country where the two C. live
together more tremendously than
right here in Edgefeld. May this
always be true! Whenever the col,
ored people of Edgefield have APP.
pealed to their white friends for aid
in time of misfortune, sickness %,
death in theirhomes, the latter have
always shown their friendship by
generous aid and we are pleased to
see that the colored people are dis
posed to reciprocate whenever op-
por.unity arises. 1t portends we'll
for the future.
