FIRST DAYS RACING
BROKE TRACK RECORD
Jaw McNay Drove a Mile in 56 20 Sec
onds in His Case-Fastest Mile
in State.

Existing records were shown no
mercy at the fair grounds track Fri
dav afternoon when the events Of the
first day of the automobile speed meet
were run off. The events were Grip
pied on account of accidents to three
cars that prevented their participa-
ton in some of the races.
The feature of the afternoons sport
was the first event when five cars en-
tered a time trial in an effort to lower
the mile record of South Carolina. Jay
McNay, driving a Case "White Streak,
won the event and silver loving cup
and clipped over five seconds from the
record of the track. McNay drove the
mile in 56 rs second, the fastest mile
ever driven on a track in this State.
A Maxwell driven by "Bubber" Nc
Fadden of Rock Hill made the mile in
Ill Is. The Flanders, with Lund-
gren driving, accomplished the dis
tance in l:15 1-2. The E. M. F., with
Odom at the wheel, made lis 10,
while another f. NJ. F., with Cohen
driving, showed 1:20.
The 25-mile race, free-for-all, with
1925 offered as prize money, was the
most interesting race of the afternoon
with all the cars entered. McNay,
driving the Case, won this race with
ease, travelling the 25 miles in 20
minutes and 80 seconds tapping all
the other cars in the race. The driv-
er from California drove a beautiful
race, making many miles in much bet
ter than a mile minute. The Jack
son, with Clarence Rawls driving, fin
ished second, making the distance in
81 minutes and 27 seconds. The Flan-
ders, under driving, was third with
the time of 33 minutes and IA seconds.

TAFT SEES BIG FLEET.
President Reviews Greatest Assem-
blage of American War-Craft-
Impressed by Scene.

New York, Nov. 2-FreSh from the
cross continent tour of $4,000 miles,,
during which he received senatorial
PLEDGES which seem to indicate the
early ratification of the treaties OF
peace and arbitration with Great Brit
tain and France, President Taft to-
day, from the winu-swept bridge OF
the Yacht Mayfower, reviewed the
mightiest line of fighting craft ever
assembled under the American flag.
The president had indicated in all
his speeches in advocacy of the trea-
ties of peace that he entertained no
fond delusion that war by convention
could Immediately be made thing OF
the past. He declared that the treaties
were a step in the right direction;
that the armed camps of Europe were
looking to the United States to lead
in what might prove to be great
World-movement toward the goal OF
peace, but that for long time to
come the suggestion of disarmament
would have no force.
Will Urge Big Navy.
Today Mr.. Taft let it be known that
he would continue to urge upon con-
gress the necessity % building at least
two great super-dreadnoughts a year
for some time.
Countless thousands of persons
Joined with the president in paying
tribute to the SO vessels which lay at
anchor in the Hudson river. Twenty
four first-class battleships were in the
line, grimly gray in their eparedness
for war
Surrounding this burly column
sullen in its selfreiiance-Were ar
mored cruisers, yielding but little in
power and weight to their more for
midable sisters of ,tSe Dattleship class;
scout cruisers, slenuer but fast; me-
teor-like destroyers, green wasps OF
the. sea, little torpedo boats, that SEEM
ed catlike in their stealth; subma-
rines, barely visible above the water
line, and the rank and file of auxlll-
ary vessels that serve as tenders to
the feet.
Swept Out to Sea.
AS if the exhibition of preparedness
and power pictures In the anchored
armada were not all sufficient, 22 of
the battleships toward the close of the
day picked up their anchors and swept
proudly out to sea. The president
watched the passing pageant in i'm
pressive silence AS the big fighting
ships steamed by with foam-crested
waves spreading from their armored
bows, and with clouds o. black smoke
sWirling from their tunnels, the sun
was near it's settirs and they spoke
with crashing guns the last of long
series of salutes, which had begun
with the early morning and had been
all but incessant Throughout the day.
The review had been the most bril-
liant in the history of the country,
and with its conclusion the great fleet
had dispersed, the various ships Wend-
ing their way to home stations to
await the call of winter manoeuvres
in Southern waters.

These are wonderful machines and
there is no telling what one will DO.
And you don't know how it is done.
Frank Stanton relates the following
story in the Atlanta Constitution or
what happened down in Billville, and
the same thing might happen right
here in Newberry. think one OF these
powerful little machines some months
ago did start off with no one init, and
carried the fellow who was cranklng
it over a precipice, and he was a ma
chinist at that:

a man to be run over by his own auto
mobile, but such was the accident

do some speeding on its own hook
whereupon it passed over our left leg
and right ear, pausing not in its mad
career until it was safely at the bot
tom of the mill pond, where, by the
blessing of Providence, II may stay

I heard it whispered around the
other day that some big hearted Cit
izen was going to give some land to
start a park in Newberry, but nothing
is to be said about it, or none.of the
facts given out for some time yet
Well, hope it is true. I have been
irving TO arouse the conscience Of
some of our rich people for several

Mr.. Mayor, what about that paving
of the public square and Main street
that I heard about some time ago!
Don't let Eimi and Uncle Briggs ana
Commissioner Livingston stop the
good work. Your term will soon be
out, and what will you have to show.
Let US have some paved streets as
monument to your administration. You
could build no better or more lasting
one. I walked down west Main street
the other day and to my surprise those
wooden and burned shacks still stand
as ornaments to that end of the town.
WHY leave the mthere? Why not con-
denim them as nuisances and hurtful

criminal to drive even eight miles

people were on foot. I was in Colum-
