Two Maxwell Machines Travel Bet
ter Than 20 Miles On Single
Gallon of Gasoline.

Two Maxwell automobiles were en-,
tered from here in the contest which
was held last Wednesday by Maxwell
dealers all over the country and both
machines travelled more than 90 miles
on single gallon OF gasoline.
Louie Lochmiller of the Lincoln
Highway Garage, local distributors
for the Maxwell in this territory, ar
ranged with the company to enter the
contest Two cars one owned by
Fred Lyons and the other by Richard
Kinney, were used and each fitted
with special gasoline tank which
held but gallon Of gasoline. Both
ears were regular stock machines and
have been used by their owners for
several months. Louie Lochmiller pi
!oted one car while the other was
driven by Clarence Glenn.
Both cars travelled east over the
Lincoln Highway and it was not I'M
til they had passed through West
Side that the first car ran out Of gas
having travelled distance of 23.S
miles. The other car exhausted it's
supply of gas at 24.2 miles. a..

roads been in good condition both cars
would have reached Carroll

SURVIVORS OF
BIG BATTLE Meet
Two Survivors Of Battle Of Gettysburg,
Mrs. Georgia Wade-MccieiIan
and Frank Post, Meet.
50 YEARS SINCE LAST MEETING
Although Living at Churdan, Mr.. Post
Had Never Met Mrs. Mcclellan
Since Famous Battle.

Fifty four years after their first
meeting, at which time neither ever
expected that they would ever see the
other again, but both being in full
recollection of the memorable Incl.
dents surrounding the first meeting
two survivors of the battle of Gettys-
burg met for the second time last
Sunday and discussed the incidents OF
their first meeting. They were Mrs.
Georgia Wade Mcclellan, of this city,
and Frank Post of Churdan, father
OF J. H. Post, we'll known and re-
spected assistant postmaster OF this
city. g.. ~
The local newspapers have recount
ed previously the. fact that Mrs. Nc
Clellan was in the town of Gettysburg
at the time of the great battle at that
place, and how she. her mother and
sister hid in the cellar of their home
and baked biscuits for the soldiers
who happened into the town during
the fighting. Mrs. Mcclellan was I'M
able to participate in the work OF
feeding the soldiers because of her
young baby, which was but week,
old, but she we'll remembers the min
istrations of her mother and sister,
the latter being wounded by bullet
during the fighting.
At the time the story appeared, J.
H. Post recognized familiar sound
to it, having heard his father relate
the incident of his being at house

the soldiers. the younger of the two
ter and daughter having gone to the
cellar with her very young baby.
Since that time he has tried to ar
range a meeting between his father
and Mrs. Mcclellan, believing that
each would remember the other. SO last
Sunday motored to Churdan "A from
where he brought his father and his
mother and hix sister. Mr.. ssS g.
Wherry, to Carroll. y s. - .s
At dinner, and afterwards, Mrs. Nc
Clellan and Mr.. Post compared their
remembrances of the occasion and
established beyond doubt the fact
that though they had been strangers
since that memorable day, they Ger.
tainly had seen and talked with each
other before. Many incidents sur
rounding the meeting were firmly i'm
planted in the memories of each and
they spent an interesting afternoon
discussing their recollectiOns of the
battle which ended the first and only
attempt at invasion, Of the north.
Mrs. Mcclellan expects to go east
the first of next month to consult
with a publisher ut Rochester, New
York, who is soon to produce book
which she has written on the battle
OF Gettsburg. and before her return
to Carroll she expects to visit that
historic spot again. The appearances
of the book is being eagerly waited
by her many friends in Carroll, all Of
whom expect to secure copy. Her
recollection of the stirring events of
those days is very vivid, and her
story of the battla'will no doubt go
down among the really important his
torical records of the great war
Carroll Times.

GOV. MANNING'S MESSAGE.
Tells the Farmers Why They Should
Buy Liberty Bonds.

The Central Liberty Loan COM
mittee- of Richmond asked the gov
ernors of several States for messages
to the farmers bearing on the Lib
"rty Loan Bonds, and the following
is the reply of the governor of South
Carolina:
1t is essential that our armies in
the field be given the complete finan-
cial support OF the many who remain
behind. This can be done effective
ly by buying each his share of the
second offering Of Liberty Bonds
Our patriotism alone should be a
sufficient incentive.
But, laying patriotism aside. we
find that an investment in govern
ment bonds is good business ac-
tion. Bearing interest at four pei
cent, and being practically free from
taxation, government bonds are an
excellent investment Their value
and security as collateral in OBJ.
tanning loan is unquestioned.
With fair yield of money crops
and fine yield of food crops, our far
mers and people, generally will have
more cash available than ever be-
fore. The duty is compelling that
we show tn epeople OF every com
munity the wisdom and necessity of
saving and investing their surplus.
after paying their debts, in safe Sc
curities. and to be prepared in this
way for any necessity or emergency
that may confront them. The habit
of saving is most important lesson
for them, anG if acquired. will mean
their future success. Besides this.
everyone who holds Liberty Bond
Will be a better and more loyal citl-
zen. 1t will mean a more ardent in
terest in the government. and a
deeper patriotism.
Such an investment is specially
attractive to our farmers, always
loyal and patriotic, and upon whom
falls the burden OF maintaining our
field.
Yours very truly,
RICHARD l. MANNING,
Governor.

COTTONSEED PRODUCERS
CONSULTING OFFICIALS
Their Niisapprehension as to Price
Fixing Removed by Food
Administration.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Represen-
tatives OF the producers OF cotton
seed. the ginners, the crushers and
the refiners have been in Washing
ton during the past two days CON
sulting with members of the federal
food administration regarding the
rules to be put into effect whereby
the ginners, crushers and refiners
are to operate under the license al
ready issued by proclamation Of the
President.
There seems to have been consid-
erable misapprehension regarding
the question OF price fixing. The
food administration has not consid-
cred, nor does IT intend to, fixing
prices Of the products. It's activities
have to do solely in this case with the
elimination of speculation and
boarding OF cottonseed products.
The license rules now being consid-
cred have to do with this problem
and there Is no consideration being
given any question OF fixing prices
upon cottonseed or any OF the pro-
ducts derived therefrom.
The conference is still in progress,
but 1t is expected that by tomorrow
some constructive recommendation
will be made that will be of assis,-
ance to the food administration in
framing proper regulations ano
rules governing the sale of cotton
seed and it's products.

ATTRACTIVE FEATURE OF
BONDS TO CORPORATIONS
Cndistributed Funds Nav Re In
vested In the Bonds and are Free
of Tax While Money is Not.

The attractive feature of Liberty
Bonds to corporations as an invest
ment is the fact that the govern
ment has recently issued a circular
explaining that 1.-The new tax law
provides for an additional tax OF 10
per cent upon the amount remaining
undistributed six months after the
end of each calendar or fiscal year,
OF the total net income OF every
corporation, joint stock company. or
association, or. insurance company
received during the year The law
distinctly provides, however, that
this tax shall not apply to that por-
tion Of such undistributed net in
come which is actually invested or
employed in the business, or is re-
tanned for employment in the reas-
enable requirements of the business.
or Is invested in obligations OF the
United States issued after Septem-
Der /, 1917"
1t is this last sentence that should
appeal strongly to corporations, as IL
means that II corporation has un-
distributed profits for the year of
$4,000. II would be subject to a
tax Of $1,000 but II this $4,000 was
invested in the Second Liberty Loan
As. 1t would be free from such tax

PRIVATE BRUTALLY WHIPPED,
STORY TOLD ABOUT CAMP
Investigation OF Alleged Brutal
Treatment of Soldier at Camp
WadswOrth.

Spartanburg, Oct. 18.-An inves-
tigation is in progress in the 1O5th
field artillery, the old Second, in
volving an alleged brutal whipping
said to have been administered to
Private Otto Gottschalk, of Battery
d, last Saturday by four non-com-
missioned officers, said to be acting
under orders of Capt. Howard E.
Sullivan. The nature of Colts
chalk's offense is not revealed and
no official comment is to be had on
the matter further than the admis-
sion than investigation is in progress
and a report on the whole matter
will be submitted to Brig. Gen.
Phillips.
According to the story going
around camp, Gottschalk was strip
ped and beaten by the non-commis-
stoned officers while Capt. Sullivan
looked on the performance Colts
chalk was confined to his tent this
afternoon and showed signs of his
treatment by bruises on his hands.
Capt. Sullivan when asked for a
statement, declined to discuss the
matter and referred newspaper men
to Capt. Freganiere, the regimen
tai adjutant, who also expressed the
opinion that the public was not con
cerned in the incident.
Col. Geo. A. Wingate, who is act
ing commander of the brigade, said
the matter had been reported to him
on Sunday and as brigadier com.
mander he had reported the affair
to Gen. Phillips. Col Wingate said
the report OF the matter, together
with recommendations, will go tc
the commanding general.
From some of Captain Sullivan's
friends it was learned that his de.
Tense will be that Gottschalk had
been repeated offender against the
sanitary regulations of the com.
pany, that he had been repeatedly
warned. and that his last offense
was OF such serious nature as tc
be very provoking. Captain Sullivan
his friends say, ordered four non.
commissioned officers to give Colts.
| chalk bath, but did not witness It
There are enlisted men, however
who Insist that Gottschalk was giver
severe beating, after being made
to drink from a ditch full of dirty
water, and that Captain Sullivan was
present all the time and urged the
men on.
