At the metropolitan session each club is

ner for treasurer. Others to constitute the
executive committee are Findlay S. Doug
las, Harry V. Keep, John Reid, IT., Joseph
P Knapp and John NJ. Ward.
Among the many problems presented to
the ST Andrews rules of golf committee
are the following:
In a stroke competition a competitor
missed the ball on the first tee While adj
dressing the ball for the second stroke the
ball fell off the tee. The competitor re-
placed it and drove off, counting two
strokes played from the tee. Is this cor
rect?
Answer-Rule ? ID refers to a bali which
is not in play. The competitor having made
a bad stroke, his ball was in play. If the
competitor grounded his club when adj
dressing the ball for the second time, he
incurred a penalty of one stroke. see Rule
,, u ca. because the ball moved. and ne
should then have, played the ball from
where it lay. Provided he conformed to
the conditions laid down in Stroke Rule II
%, he could tee the ball under a penalty
of two strokes. If he did not conform to

ward the hole with his hand on two oc-
casions He had no clubs Should he be
disqualified under Stroke Rule (2? 1t is
argued that, as no club was used, the rule
cannot be applied
Answer-The competitors action is plain
ly contrary to the spirit of Stroke Rule

mends that the competitor be disqualified

RACES TEST CONSTRUCTION
Strain Searches Out the Slight

every motor car race Is a victory for
every contestant-frOm an engineering
standpoint declares George NJ Dickson,
general manager Of the National Motor
Vehicle Company. That statement may
appear somewhat paradoxicaI at first, but
every concern that has started its product
in a speed battle has learned Of the oenear
of racing. whether their efforts wers
crowned with victory or not.
High speed maintained for a consider
able distance is the acid test of every fibre
of the motor car. These flights over pol
ished speedway and rough country roads
search out the weakness OF the smallest
detail of construction Every flight fur
nishes either a need of praise or a rehuks
for the design or construction or materials
There should be no question of the mar
gin Of safety in the automobile. Every part
of the mechanism should be tested under
the strain of the utmost speed the car can
develop. 1t is almost certain that every
motor car that is made win be driven az
top speed some time or other after It passes
into the possession OF a private owner
''In this time of emergency the owner
should have every faith in the safety OF
each part which shares the strain. Il ~
necessary. therefore. for every car to bs
tested to perfection before It leaves ira

follow motor racing believe IN severe test

A. c. L. improvements.

The Atlantic Coast Line is replacing
about five and one half miles of wooden
trestleS across the Pee Dee, Santee and
Savannah Rivers in South Carolina, with
a concrete and steel viaduct, represent.
ing the most modern engineering con.
struction, at a cost of approximately OIL
million dollars. These improvements
will make permanent crossing at these
important rivers on the main line, and il
is expected that the entire work will be
completed in March 1910.
The completion of a second track
during February 1910, between Folkston,
Georgia and Callahan, Florida, creates
continuous double track between Folks
ton and Jacksonville, distance of forty
three miles. In addition second track
between Florence and Pee Dee, South
Carolina, distance of ten miles, is un-
der construction, thus giving the Allan
tic Coast Line Route two hundred and
forty eight miles of double track be-
tween Washington, D. c. and Jackson
vile, Fla, or about thirty percent OF the
distance.
The main line between Richmond,
Virginia and Tampa, Florida, has been
relaid with heavy rail, the great MAORI
ty of which being eighty-five pounds to
the yard.

was made the subject of very clear and
sensible reioinder in the Tampa Tri
bune of the 10th inst. by Gilbert D.
Leach. Mr.. Leach says in part:
Suppose the land had been selling al
$500 an acre. II was simply because
there was no one to purchase it and Ger.
tainly none to purchase it for the pur.
pose of cultivation after il was cleared.
These promoters brought people to
Florida-desirable people, industrious
people with no drones among them
and these people have begun making
wealth for themselves and for the com.
munity in which they have settled. =
'. Take the Hastings potato section
for an example. The advertising done
by the promoters of that section has
raised the price of land-uncleared pine
land-as far away from Hastings as the
Bostwick section, across the river and
several miles to the north and west.
And, moreover, land that was sold at
$2O an acre in the East Palatka section
land that had been just such So. 90 land
as the News mentions-could not be
touched today for $3.50 90 an acre. The
big increase has come long after the
promoter has done his work, reaped his
profit and turned his attention to other
things.

paper business in fernando county.
That's our business" We havn't a
half dozen irons in the fire, we are not
jack at-all-tradeS, we are not running the
country, and everybody else's business,
we are not furnishing our enemies, we
don't know that we are good enough to
have any. We are not posing as 'holy
terror" to those who cross our path.
People can oppose, fight and differ with
US and go TO bed assured that their repu-
tation will not be aSsaSSinated in our
next issue. We have but one business,
the newspaper business. That is why
the Southern Argus prosperS. Happy is
the man who can do many things well,
but doubly blessed is the man who can
do one good thing better than anybody
else. By that sign we win or lose
