The Greenwood Journal says The

iubilant over the announcement by
the new mayor Of Orangeburg tnat
he would put the loafers out of busl-
ness. Tut, tut, contemporary, we
have heard that kind of talk before,
and it never amounted to anything.
Your mayor is a new hand at the
business. Wait a while, and If he
gets rid of the loafers, tell us and
we will apologize" Our contemporary
must wait and see before it draws
conclusions as to what will be accom-
plished by our new mayor.

DECLINE Of 4. A. A.
STOCK CAR RACES
National Manager Says Stock
Car Events Are Best Test
of Machines.

ITO make automobile racing yalu-
sHhle 70 the prospective purchaser, the
manufacturer should keep e%verlast-
sngsy n ii" says George NJ. Dickson,
general manager OF the National Motor
Vehicle Company. There is a ten
deacy on the part of some manufae-
mrers not to enter contests OF any
kind unless they are assured of a walk
saTFay. In other words. this means,
IF we can't win, we won't race. Ger
stainly this attitude Is not conducive
ITO the progress of the motor car, and
more especially so because this spas
modic support usually comes in the
form of entries in special events, with
no support for the stock chassis events.
After all, regardless of the fact that
the big special races, in which motor
cars of unlimited power are permitted,
may or may not be more spectacular
than the stock car races, the former
do not have the value to the automo-
bile owners and buyers. The cessation
of stock car contests will remove the
basic reasons for competition.
"If stock car contests are to be neg
Jected, there is no reason for a govern
ing body such as the A. A. A. A very
small and comparatively inexpensive
organization could fill the requirements

IF the death-knell of stock car com

there Is nothing to supervise there is
no use for the supervisor.

letter, but in the spirit of the law
When we race stock cars they are OF
current Issue, not speedy models OF
years before. which we no longer man
ufaoture. If stock car racing is to be
of the greatest value it can only be
handled in this manner.
There is every reason why stock
contests should be continued; the best
interests of the automobile buyer and
manufacturer demand it. Certainly
the A. A. A., which presents itself as
the guiding hand of American auto
mobile progress, will not allow this
the most valuable form of contests tx
drift into an inferior and subordinate

LOcOMOBnE FINISHES LONG TOUR.

An unusually interesting trip was re-
Gently completed by Archer Greene, of
Los Angeles, in his Locomobile six
cylinder touring car. Mr.. Greene drove
5000 miles that included a great va
riety of scenery instead of simply fol
lowing the ordinary custom of picking
out the best roads to MAKE it easier for
the car. He was accompanied by his
family the entire distance.
The trip was most successful. and
was particularly interesting because it
was accomplished over all conditions
of roads n during weather varying
from tropic heat to heavy snow. Sum-
mer weather in the plans contrasted
with winter In h mountain passes.
The car returned to Los Angeles with
a perfect score, and although it was
considered advisable to give the ma
chinery a looking over after such
strenuous service, 1t was found that
the only necessary work to be o raj
the cleaning out of a little carbon from
the motor. The trip started from Los
Angeles, thence to San Francisco and
certain points north of San Francisco,
thence to Lake Tahoe to Reno. Nevada,
and eventually back to Los Angeles.
