PRELUDE, 1911.

There are wonderful dawns in the
waiting days
OF the year that is Just before us.
Today we can breathe the sweets
they bring
Even now We can hear their sky
larks sing,
And the spray OF their dew is Ger
There are hallowed evenings OF peace
and prayer
When shadows are on the clover
When still stars brighten their YES
tai lights.
And the fair. pale JASMINE kisses
the nights
Velvet cheek that is bending over.
There are sorrowful dawns In the
waiting days
OF the year that is Just before us
A minor strain through the music
svells
Like the quiv'ring sobs Of sad-toned
bells,
And the spray Of their tears Is DER
To Him who keeps watch where the
lilies bloom.
Where wounded birds are quivering.
We commit our lives and rest con
tent
That shadow and shine will be. one
dsy-blent
In q crown OF His wondrous weaving.

DRUCE-bRoWH WON.
SETS NEW WORLDS RECORD AT

Both winner and Place Man are Re-
puted MiiliOnaireS-De Palma Third
Bruce Browns Average Rate
Nearly 75 Miles Hour.

Grand Prize Race Course. Savan-
nah. Nov. 30.-F'lying faster than the
biting wind which swept the frozen
course, David /. Bruce Brown, the
young American millionaire. todav
established a new worlds record for
automobile road races in winning his
second Grand Prize race in as many
years at an average speed of 74.55
miles an hour. His average last year
over the same course was 7O.55 miles
an hour.
The supreme honor again went 10
an American driver plotting a foreign
car. but this year it was an Italian
Fiat instead of a German Benz that
carried the dauntless Bruce-Brown
to victory. His elapsed time today
was 331 minutes and 2O.13 seconds.
Bruce-Brown captured the greatest
American trophy only after a fierce
and nerve racking struggle in which
Eddie Hearn, driving a Benz was sec
ond, two minutes behind at S33:33.O7.
and Ralph De Palma third. at
S34:40.S5. No mishap involving life
OF limb marred the running of what
probably will be the last of these
classic races at Savannah.

DECEMBER II BIG RALLY DAY.
PLANS FORMULATED FOR CAR
RYING ON OF WORK IN THIS
CITY,
Pastors OF the City to Tell OF Move
ment on December II and Gener-
al Rally Day to Come on Decem-
ber 81.

The necessary work has been done
in organizing the forces in Sumter
that will cooperate with the Nation
al Committee for the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement. AS an
auxiliary city, the people of Sumter
are to be in touch with a movement
that is eminently practical, sane, and
sensible, without hysteria or aensa-
tionalism. The leaders commend them
selves to the approval Of everybody
by this sincerity, good sense, and ear
nest thoughtfulness.
The object of this great move
ment is to present the claims Of re-
ligion to men and boys and the
vital part that religion must play in
the solution Of life problems.
Mr.. r. Hayne King Of Charleston
Executive Secretary for Auxiliary
Cities in North and South Carolina
was here last week and met with To-
cal pastors and laymen and made an
able presentation Of the work.

ganization was effected:

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
II Has Proved a Financial Success I'm
Columbia.

The city OF Sumter is preparing to
take up the commission form Of gov
ernment and to that end has had a
committee from it's council put in
charge Of the matter. The expert
ence Of Columbia with the commits
sion form Of government ought to
make that form very popular, and we
doubt not that it will, and that the
bill now before the legislature provid-
ing for such form Of government in
towns in the State will be passed
over the executive veto and with an
amendment that will permit Sumter,
Florence, Marion and Timmonsville,
yes, and Ebenezer and Mars Bluff,
air. to come in out OF the wet and
break the yoke OF political ring and
clique rule, If any of these good
towns suffer from such an ailment.
We all know that Columbia was one
of the worst governed cities in the
State for a generation or two, and
that more money was wasted and less
accomplished there than in any town
in the State. Now, under it's commits
sion form of government ii has done
good work on its city property and
has money in the treasury. That is
n mighty good recommendation for
peculiar form Of government, and
IT was the government, and the form
and not the man put at the head
though he was a mighty good one,
for Columbia has had some mighty
good officials in the past. and they
could not accomplish anything
