4 Severe Pounding.

On last Friday morning about 3
o'clock the people 'from Trinity, New
Chapel, Ebenezer and Lebanon be-
gan to come to their parsonage, and
continued all day. Well, l tell you
they made an impression on the pas
tor and his wife. The ladies brough;
we'll filled baskets with them and
spread an old time picnic dinner,
which was much enjoyed. They left
in the afternoon. When they were
leaving We heard chickens squealine,
and it seemed that something was
wrong at the chicken yard. 1nvestl-
CATION revealed the fact that several
new chickens were there. Returning
to the living room were flour, rice,
coffee, potatoes, canned goods, ham,
sausage, cake and man. other nice
things. And still they come. Others
came in later and left fresh meat and
other nice things.
Newberry folks do not half do
things. When they do thing it is
done and done right. The pastor and
his wife are not bothered about high
prices just now. They say they will
make the Baptist preachers feel what
a Methodist pounding means, as they
have delegates this week.

.sSOITHWARD THE
STAR OF EMPIRE"

Southwark the star of empire ougnt
now to take its way. The future be-
longs to the South if the men Of the
South will only have it so. Southern
farm land, under your rare climate.
can yield more for the feeding and
cir g Of the world than any like
acreage on earth, and these fertile
fields now give only snail part of
the wealth they are meant to give aad
can be made to give. Southern mines
are as rich in iron, coal and other
minerals as any on the globe, and
these storehouses of usefulness are
as yet almost untouched Southern
water power is greater than that OF
New England or the far Northwest,
and most Of it runs embarrassed to
the sea. Southern timber equals the
stumpage of that Of Russia and the
greater part of it is still unused.
The place Of the South on the map
of the world ought to make it the
heart of industry and civilization
The greatest system of waterways on
the globe gathers into mighty trunk
line which pours through the South
to find it's outlet in your Southern
gulf This vast land-protected sea is
an ocean in itself, giving to the South
trade advantages which, if used, would
be unrivaled The great Panama Can
al opens the commerce of mankind
to the South more than to any other
single part Of the republic. From
Norfolk to Galveston, the South has
a chain of seaports, the poorest OF
which is better than the best of Ger
man seaport and the best of which Is
as good as those Of England.
And the people of the South are as
yet of almost pure descent from the
first American stock. Theirs is a fight
ing blood, which counts no cost when
standing for what they believe to De
right Theirs is a love for that ideal
ism which alone makes prosperity
worth while and which alone can save
the present day craze for money-get-
ting from rotting the heart of the ma
ton. Theirs, too, is an aptitude for
craftsmanship and a gift for pubic
thinking coming down from forefatn-
ers whose work in founding the re-
public is one Of the priceless tradl-
tions of the American peopie-from

Must Have Been a Good Crop.

When the drummer came into the
corner grocery he started something.
He asked how many apples Adam and
Eve ate on a certain memorable day.
Deacon Jones answered: "One.'
Then Cy Sours thought that he was
smart when he said: Nope. More
than that. Eve 81 and adam S12. To-
tai $685."
The drummer laughter. You're
smart all right, but your answers
wrong" he said, "for Eve S14 herself
and Adam 1924 himself. Total 1888"
Everybody laughed by Squire Mar
tain. He just sat there with his pipe
in his mouth and looked at knot in
the floor. with a sudden start he
chuckled:
Drummer, you're pretty clever, but
you don't know nothin' about Adam

know how it tasted an Adam 2S142
know what it was like Total 1924.

MAXWELL BEATS TRAINS
IN GREAT INTER-CITY DASH
Ray Mcnamara Establishes Another
Remarkable Record, Averaging

Another remarkable touring record
was established by stock Maxwell

when Ray Mcnamara piloted a car
from Indianapolis to Chicago and re-
turn, 376 miles, in nine hours fat,
The unusual average of Alt miles per
hour was maintained over roads that
were not in the best of condition, due
to recent rains, followed by cold
weather. The run was made to estab-
lish an official record for the Hoozier
Motor Club and it was officially OBJ
served by officers of that organization.

without any mechanical trouble.
stop of fifteen minutes was made at
Chicago, where gasoline and oil were
taken on. The car was also delayed
by a blowout and twice at railroad
crossings by freight trains.
Beats Train Schedule.
On both legs of the journey, the
Maxwell made better time than the
swiftest trains between Indianapolis
and Chicago. McNamara's time be-
tween Indianapolis and Chicago was
four hours and fifteen minutes, beat
ing the fastest train between the two
cities by forty minutes. On the second
leg of the journey, from Chicago to
indianapolis, the time was four hours
and forty-five minutes. which is ff-
teen minutes faster than the schedule
time of the Hoozier Limited, the
| speediest train running out Of Chi
cago to the Indiana capital.
Carried Four Passengers.
The car carried four passengers. 4

ment, was used.
/ The Chicago-Indianapolis run was.
made at the instance Of the Cole Sales
Company, Maxwell dealers in Indian
apolis, who posted a challenge to all
cars selling at $1,000 or under. No
challengers appeared, so the Maxwell
run was made without competition.
! Mcnamara, who drove the car the
whole route, recently made similar
run in Maxwell touring car across
Michigan and back, $50 miles, going
the distance in nine hours and forty

laughable incident occurred. One of

that had previously belonged to a
baker. A wit in the crowd, who was
aware of this fact, shouted out, "Ba-

could do would make it bulge. Things
were beginning to look serious when
SUDDENLY the rider was struck with an

ALLIES YIELD WAR
ORDERS TO U. 5.
Will Subordinate Their
Munition Contracts to
Nations Needs.

Washington, June 24.-Representa-
tives of the Entente Allies have signi-
fed to the United tSates government
their willingness to subordinate their
munitions contarcts in this country to
the needs of the United tSates in the
present emergency.
This will make it unnecessary for the
War Department to invoke a section
Of the new army organization act
which empowers it to call upon any
manufacturer for goods on hand or In
process Of manufacture needed for the
army.
In this connection II became known
to-day that Secretary Baker will adopt
a recommendation that a suffacient
number Of mchine guns to meet the
needs of the army be taken over from
the private plants filling European con-
tracts.
Action is necessary because 1,077 ma
chine guns, sufficient on the present
basis of FIVE 10 a regiment TO meet
only two-thirds Of the demand for the
regular arm ysnd national guard, rep
resent the entire stock Of such weapons
in the possession of the War Depart
ment.
Though It Is highly desirable that
there should be only one type Of guns
and ammunition in the army. the ord
nance officers point out that by careful
distribution the disadvantages can be
minimized, and, in fact, the same con
dition has existed in every preceding
war.
The rev standards, based on Eu-
ropean practice, contemplate the use Of
twelve machine guns instead Of FIVE TO
a regiment, and if this is followed in
equipping the United States army 1t
will be necessary to obtain large guam
titles of the weapons meant for the Al
lies now in the hands Of tho Ameri-
can manufacturers.
