The wise will see this. The State of
South Carolina has an educational

n the last report Of the State Superin-

Average session for whites 143 days.
Average session for Negroes 50 days
Average salary for whites $389.i6
This is too small in view Of the high
cost Of living, but the average salry
for Negro teachers is the small sum
of $97.52. These figures tell their
own story us to the future of Negro

AUTOMOBILE RACING
NOW A MAJOR SPORT
Liberty Sweepstakes Race, 500
Miles for Purse of $4,000,
to Be Run at Indianapolis
May 31-Number of Speed
ers Entered.

The return of the 50O-mile race to
the indianapolis speedway means the
return of automobile racing as major
sport in America.
The. Liberty Sweepstakes race for a
distance of 500 miles and cash purse
of S50,000.00, will be run on the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway on Satur-
day, May 81, instead of May 80, as or
iginally announced. Popular demand
by the patrons of the big plant and
because of a feeling that Memorial
day Will have a new meaning to the
entire country, influenced the Speed
way owners, who are spending the WIN
ter at Miami, Florida, to make this
change.
The name allied Liberty Sweep
stakes might well be applied to the
great auto classic, scheduled for May
81, 1919, because there will be con-
tenders OF both cars and drivers repre-
senting England, France, Italy, Belgium
and the United States of America This
is confirmed by a cablegram received
from w. L. Bradley, Paris, France, who
is the foreign representative. of the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, stating
that two Fiat cars and three Sunbeams
are available Immediately for racing,
and negotiations are being started to
secure entries of these cars to be pilot
ed by noted drivers, for the 500 -mile
race.
Since the war started. in 1914. inter-
est in all sport has Jagged. Auto rae

IN, hn
the sport began to pail on the fans
with the growth of speedway racing in
many sections, although the race for
the championship in which Dario Resta
bested the late Johnny Aitken and Cap
tain Eddie Rickenbacker, America S
leading Ace" served to keep up the
interest.
Indianapolis did not stage a race in
1917, nor in 1918, because the owners
of the brick track could not see patriot
ism in trying to keep alive the sport
when the participants We're needed by
Uncle Sam to care for and pilot his
airplanes, trucks, tractors and automo-
biles. Other tracks staged races, but
melted only local interest.
From it's inception in 1911, when, with

staged, the Indianapolis event became
the Blue Ribbon Of America, replacing
the famed Vanderbilt Cup of the road
race era. Indianapolis. in addition to
being the only speedway to successfully
stage more than one 800 mile race has

familiar to every racing fan, has four

to show his skill to stay on the track

sition. which are lacking on the spe-
cially constructed bowls where the

CHANDLER SERVICE IS
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
This Is Year When Dealers
Service Equipment Will
Count With Prospective
Owners Is Statement From
Distributors.

This is the year when the dealers
service department will count with
prospective owners" say the Service
Motor company, Chandler distributors.
THE service end has always been
important, but from now on, for sew
eral seasons, it will be Of greater i'm
portance.
In buying a truck or passenger car,
the purchaser considers the purchase
in a business way. He realizes that to
get proper results on his investment
he will have to take proper care of
his car, and knows that he will I'M
doubtedly have to buy spare parts
from time to time, as well as to have
necessary repairs taken care. of
promptly and efficiently.
When purchasing 4 car, the buyer
makes the purchase with the intention
of making good use of it. He wants to
keep it in service even after some parts
are worn out, replacing such parts as
necessary, and having repairs and ad-
justments made as required.
1.-THE owner expects to buy parts and
to pay for these parts, repairs and adj
justments. He looks at it a good deal
the same as the owner of any other
property. An apartment house owner
would not think of building a new one
If only the roof needed repairs, nor
would the owner of a manufacturing
plant buy new engine if only some
parts of it were Worn out or broken.
"All dealers are in business to sell
passenger cars: but too many overlook
the selling of service. After we have
made a sale we feel that we have add
ed o permanent customer to our list
and If we do not hold him we can
blame no one but ourselves.
Parts will wear out cars will have
to be oyerhauled and all cars will need
some attention to render the service
expected of them by owners"

HERE ARE A FEW MORE
RULES FOR PEDESTRIAN
AND AUTOIST TO LEARN

Don't cross the street between
blocks. Remember vehicles have just
as much right to the road as you have
Never carry on a conversation while
crossing a street. Never hold an open
umbrella so you cannot see approach
ing traffic.
Wait for 1t to stop. Always observe
the movement of traffic when alighting
before crossing to the walk.
Warn children not to hitch on cars
or vehicles, or to play or skate in the
path of traffic.
If you drive a vehicle, learn the traf-
fic rules of the particular places you
travel through
Remember the pedestrians have just
as much right to the road as you have.
Don't disregard danger signs. They
are put up for your protection.
Carry % warning signal of some kind
and use it.
Stop before you cross railway tracks.
Examine your brakes and steering
gear frequently.
IL you must drink to excess don't
drive. If you see a drunken driver
have him arrested for your own safety
and his.
Speeding will only get you to one
place quickly-the grave.
Lighting your head and tail lamps at
dusk may prolong your life.
When the streets are wet or icy, be
sure your tires will not skid. This
caution protects you from possible i'm
prisonment, injury or death
YOU are entirely familiar with its oper-
alton and hold license giving you the
right.
If for some unavoidable reason you
happen to run down some one, don't
run away. If you do you become a
hunted murderer and it goes very hard
for you when you're caught-and you
viii be caught.
