only interest is to win prizes. They were stock
cars made suitable for racing, chosen because
of proved endurance. No other racing car OF
prominence so nearly resembles stock production
as does the Hudson Super-Six Practically all
of the notable racing cars and particularly those
against which the Hudson Super-Six Special has
shown its superiority, were built especially for
racing They bear slight resemblance to the stock
production of any factory. Their cost is usually
so great that not more than two or three cars
are ever built. The Hudson Super-Six is es-
sentially production car.

The Hudson Super-Six motor, more than any
other type, has minimized vibration. That is why
the Hudson Super-Six is more powerful and capable
of greater endurance than other cars.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1917-06-28
These Tests Prove 1t

Hudson Super-six speed tests are in reality en-
durance tests.
It lis possible to build faster cars than the Hudson
Super-Six Special, but the speedway record OF 1O4
miles an hour for 200 miles, now held by Hudson
Super-Six Special, proves that endurance is more
important.
Faster cars have never been able to meet the
strain of such long distances.
Endurance is just as vital to you as it is to the
driver on the speedway. Even though you may
not care for great speed you do want endurance.
Your car must be able to meet every service strain
Our interest in racing is not so much to see how
fast we can make the Hudson Super-Sn. 1t is
to demonstrate motor endurance. 1t would take too
long, at ordinary driving speed, to demonstrate the
endurance life of a Super-Sn. The speedway
in few hours calls for all the stamina required in
years of ordinary use These racing tests are OF
interest because they show the endurance of
Hudson Super-Six.
Race drivers are the most exacting critics of
car performance. More Hudson Super-Sx cars
are used in racing than of any other make. Most
of them are entered by professional drivers whose

This Calls for Endurance

The principle by which it has minimized vibration
and thus increased power and heightened motor
endurance, makes ii easily suitable for racing.
Experts who know the true quality of all cars select
Hudson Super-Sixes because they can rely upon
them to win their races.
The very qualities of en- urance that are necessary
in racing the qualiti you should demand in
the car you buy 1t guarantees safety, low MAIN
tenance cost and long service.
You can get Hudson Super-Six in any body type
you may desire. There are eight designs to choose
from. The carriage detail matches the high quality
of the chassis construction Because there are now
$4,000 Hudson Super-Six owners, Hudson Super
Six costs considerable less than any with which
it is comparable.

Ruling of the Federal Farm Loan
Board on eligibility of the landowner
who rents his land on shares as a
borrower under the act:
The following letter has recently
been received from the Federal Farm
Loan Board at Washington, D. c.,
which can be taken as being absolute
ly authoritative and as settling a point
in regard as to who may borrow,
which up to the present time has been
somewhat hazy in it's legal. construc.
ton:
"We have ruled that when a farm
is leased to tenants the owner of it is
not engaged in cultivation of the soil
within the purview of the law. We
have also ruled that where the land is
operated to be under a contract of.
hire, the owner of the farm is eligible
as a borrower, even though the wages
of the laborers are paid in share of
the crop instead of in cash. A con-
sultation of the statutes and decisions
of your state will, I think, disclose
to you the fact that contracts may
easily be made under which the share.
farmers working under a contract of
hire, instead of under tenancy"
1t will be understood from this that
the board will not loan on land that
has been rented for cash, but that if
it is desired to borrow on land farmed
on shares, the contract between the
owner and the farmer must be one of
employment, the compensation for
which employment, is to be- in the
form of shares in the crop. 1t will be
a comparatively simple matter to
draw up such up such a contract be-
tween the renter and landlord 1t
being in the main a mere matter of
form easily complied with.
This ruling will not of course be OF
any great value to owners of large
holdings of land, since the law limits
the amount which any one man may
borrow to $40. 600. The purpose Of

Origin of the Curfew.

A note by Ruskin Butterield reminds
US that, although Shakespeare speaks
of "the curfew belT' and Milton of "the
faroff curfew sound" Chaucer more
correctly refers to "corfew tyne" as
curfew was originally an appliance for
covering the fire. There are examples
still in existence, for instance in the

Langdon People Should Learn to Detect the
Approach of Kidney Disease

Langdon people should learn to De-
tect the approach of Kidney disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
many. Disordered kidneys often cre-
ate a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. The back may ache, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the
victim is often weighted down by a
feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg
lect these warnings and there is
| danger. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed kid
ney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Langdon proof of their merit.
Mrs. H. Wolff, Langdon, says:
"My back ached most of the time and
l was so lame and sore that I couldn't
do my homework. l was also troubled
by headaches and dizzy spells. The
kidney secretiona caused me ann.y-
ance. After taking different medi-
cines without getting any benefit

A Beautiful Christmas Service.

The special service held at the
Methodist church here last Sunday
night was one OF the most beautl-
fui ever witnessed in kingstree's
churches. The service termed The
Feast of Light" was symbolical in
its nature. representing the Christ
and his apostles as the greater light
by large burning tapers while the
lesser lights, Christian churches and
individual Christians were represent
ed by smaller tapers. The beloved
pastor, Rev Harmon.in an impromp-
tn talk, explained the lights most
interestingly and he has been much
complimented on the service as a
whole. The decorations were ar
tistically arranged and the special
musical selections added such charm
and beauty to the occasion as will
make it memorable to those whose
pleasure it was to be present.

of these their respective friends did
some lively work during the last

Jennings is applying a quaker

jostle and clatter the driver has
heretofore had to experience when
going over these bridges in buggy,
wagon or auto. The trick" con-
sists of laying longitudinally. board
tracks over the plank floor of the
bridges about 18 inches wide where
the wheels of vehicles will pass.
We are sure travellers will appre-
ciate this improvement and it is
certain that the wear and tear on
the bridges will be less severe.

the year there were 344 deaths
against 553 the previous year from
peilagra. Concerning this disease
Dr. Hayne says:
"Pellagra is still d menace to Our
population. and with the growing
scarcity of food, and the patriotic
efforts to cut down meat and wheat,
we are afraid that possibly there
may be an increase this year, if the
theory of the United States public
health service as to the cause of this
disease is correct" :"
If DR. Haynes theory is correct,
and in the light of what has been
discovered after exhaustive tests.
no one has reason to doubt, is it not
a sufficiently strong argument to
every farmer and land owner in
South Carolina to raise wheat and
meat abundantly? Certainly enough
should be produced within the State
to supply the needs of her people
since it is pointed out that by so
doing an effectual fight is being
waged against disease that is al
most as loathsome as tuberculosis.

young couple were recently mar
ried. The cause of the trouble is
not known. 1t appears that they
were standing on the street leading
from the depot to the cotton mill
talking and that the husband turn
ed to walk away whea his wife
pulled a revolver and fired. 1t is
said that five shots were fired at
close range, two taking effect, one
shot entering near the right shoul-
der from the front, another enter
ing from the rear about the left
shoulder blade.
Mrs Culpepper was taken into
custody by Jonn o Folsom, chief of
