THE superior endurance of the Essex
again has been strikingly demonstrat-
ed in three Southern racing meets.
Driven by "Sig' Hugdahl and Ray
Lampkin, two stripped Essex chassis
scored victories at Atlanta, Ga, Albany,
Ca, and Birmingham, Ala.
AT Atlanta, on April oath, the Essex
captured first place in the five and fifty
mile races, besides winning one second
and one third position.
This triumph was repeated at Albany
on April 18th, when the Essex won all
three races - three, FIVE and ten mile
events.
Another victory was won at Birming
ham the same week, when Lampkin pilot
ed his Essex into first place in the three
mile "free-fOr-all."
In the fifty mile event Hugdahl held
the lead until a tire put him back into
second place, too near the last lap to re-
gain his lead.
In all of these races the Essex won
despite the fact that it was pitted against

During Federal Control, Fewer Cars
Were Built Than in Previous
Years

Scarcity and high prices of almost
every conceivable article from coal to
white paper are now being laid at the
door Of "car shortage" Business men
and other citizens who have not felt
the slightest interest in the supply of
freight cars Or in any other problem
affecting the railways frequently find
themselves unable to buy commodities
which they need or to market their
products readily and in almost every
instance they are told that the "car
shortage'' is to blame.
Naturally, then, there is a wide in
terest in the question as to why a
shortage of freight cars exists and is
not promptly brought to an. end.
The reason for the shortage is
plain. During the war the business of
the country increased by leaps and
bounds but the facilities of the lail'
ways for handling that business were
not increased in proportion. During
the twenty-six months that the rail
ways were under Federal control the
United States Railroad Administra
ton contracted for 100000 freight
cars hut the actual number put into
service was something over thou
sand below that figure.
Reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the ten years, 1905
to 1917, inclusive, show that during
the rn years preceding Federal con
troll the railways added to their freight
equipment total Of 1,2O2,537 cars
or an average of 12O,253 cars per year
and retired a total of S241G4 cars OF
an average of S2,416 cars per year
From these figures it will be seen
that during the twenty.six months OF
Fedetas control there were fewer cars

The new rate is s1.O6 1-2 per hundred

for twenty cents per pound has been
bringing 35 cents.
Sugar was shipped from New Or
leans to Greensboro, N. c., for 50
cents per 100 pounds or just about
half cent per pound. The new rate
is 50 cents per hundred pounds, still
less than three-fourths of a cent per

sold for five cents per pound has been
selling above thirty cents per pound.

small number more than the railways
had retired during each year of the

In addition to this, during the war
period the entire plant of the railways

the future was left to take care of it.

were returned to their owners at the
close of Federal control they found
themselves facing rising tide of
commerce with supply of equipment
insufficient for handling the business
offered for movement.
Until their property was returned
to them it was impossible for the rail
way companies to undertake the
financing of new equipment purchases
and conditions that have obtained
since March first have been most un'
favorable. In their petition to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
increased freight rates the railways
set out tnat even the strongest com

per cent interest to yet new capital

get it at any price.
Now that the Commission has au'
thorized an increase in rates it is
hoped that conditions will change sc
as to enable the railways to borrow
money for the purchase of new equip
menl at favorable rates Of interest but
this change will in all likelihood be
gradual. In the meantime the public
will be serving its own interest by
exercising patience and not expect

secure new capital and procure the

MILLION MINERS
REFUSE TO WORK
GREAT BRITAIN FACES INDUS.
TRIAL UPHEAVEL.
Strike Has Thrown Thousands Out
of Employment Who Are Not
Directly Concerned.

London, Oct. 18 (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-With a million
miners out of the pits tonight, thou
sands of dock and industrial work
ers already out of employment as a
consequence, and the transport work
ers and railroad men called to meet
soon to discuss sympathetic strike,
Great Britain faces one of the great
est industrial upheavals in its history,
in the opinion Of labor and political
leaders who discussed the situation
today.
Reports from all industrial centers
tonight are not reassuring, while port
officials say that shipping will be tied
nm within a week. The most hopeful
message came from Sheffield, where
It is believed there is enough coal to
last three weeks. At other centers
one weeks supply is the limit.
The statement that the men struck
against the advice Of most of their
leaders was confirmed to some ex-
tent by the attitude of many who
left the pits. They said they did not
understand that voting against the
adaum line" meant a strike, and it's
clear that a great many n1isunder-
stood "the general secretary Of the
National Union of Railway Men,
called it in speech. Mr.. Thomas
admonished the railroaders to listen
to the advice of their leaders, which
would be given after the meeting OF
the delegates Wednesday.
"A different note was struck, how
ever, by the South Wales branch OF
the miners federation, which called
meeting for next Friday to recon-
mend that if the strike was not set
tied by October 30, the pump men
and other employees remaining at
work should be called out.
It is indicated tonight that Premier
Lloyd George will take no hand in
the matter before Tuesday when par

discuss the situation. No disturbances
are reported and no troops have been
sent to the mining centers but they
are held in readiness,

are usually operated, have been can

Notwithstanding the food minis.

At the meeting Of the board Of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce held Monday evening the fol-
lowing recommendations were sub
mitted by the hospital committee,
which was appointed some time ago
by the Chamber of Commerce, the
Kiwanis club, the Rotary club, and
the County Medical association:
1. That as soon as practicable the
Chamber of Commerce take steps to
construct a brick hospital, properly
equipped, at a probable cost of
100000.
2. That the hospital be chartered
as an eleemosynary institution,
known as the Newberry County Hos
pital, the building and maintenance
fund to be raised by voluntary con-
tributions.
! 3. That the Chamber of Com
merce take up with the county legis-
lative delegation and with the city
council the question Of a .contribu-
ton annually from the county and
from the city, with the understand
ing that the hospital shall take care
of county and city charity cases.
4. That the Chamber of, Com
merce, through an appropriate COM
mittee, make an effort to get addi-
tional contributions for maintenance
from the churches and benevolent
organizations of the county on con-
dition that charity cases be taken
care of by the hospital for these or
ganizations.
5. That the Chamber Of Com
merce elect committee of five to
act as corporators and a temporary
committee of organization until such
time as trustees shall be elected.
6. That there be seven hospital
trustees provided for, one to be
named by the city of Newberry, one
by Newberry county, two by the
County Medical association, and
three in such other manner as may
be determined later.
Z. That the hospital be dedicated
to the boys who died in the service
Of their country during the world
war.
8. That at least two women be
named on the committee of five men
toned in the fifth resolution above.
9. That the contract for the
building be let at straight-out con-
tract price and not on a cost-plus
basis.
These recommendation were in
dorsed without reserve by the direc-
tors. The only difficulty presented
was to determine whether this is the
practicable time to launch such a
project. Every one admits that bus
Iiness is dull and money tight, but NO
one wants to postpone any longer
than necessary the building Of the
hospital for Newberry county. After
considerable discussion the directors
decided to receive the report as IN
formation and to hold it for future
consideration.
