Ovation for Trinkle
Especial to the Gazette)

Richmond, Va, July 14.-With
every seat in the house taken, an
overflow. in the gallery, with halls
and doorways crowded, and all late
corners turned away, State Senator
E. Lee Trinkle, candidate for Gov
ernor of Virginia. spoke at the John
Marshall High School Auditorium
last night to what is conceded to be.
teh most enthusiastic and receptive
political meeting staged in Rich
mond in many years. The city audi
torium being closed for repairs,
which could not be completed in time
for this meeting, this was the next
largest auditorium in the city of
Richmond, and could by no means
accommodate. the crowd that turned
out to hear the Wytheville candidate
Mr.. lTrinkle' clearly defined his po-
sition on taxation, schools and
roads, and did not leave the slight
est shadow of a doubt in the minds
of his audience as to his position on
these questions. He denied most
vigorously the statement of his OPP
ponent made at Woodstock on last
Monday, that he has ever said he
favored tie bond issue. He also an
swered the. insinuation Of his oppon-
ent at Woodstock that the Hon.
George P. Coleman, State Highway
Commissioner, is supporting him, by
reading letter signed by Mr.. Cole
man. in which MIR. Coleman Ttated
that. because Mr. Tucker was a
k,nsman and very, close and init
mate friend of Mr. Colcman's fam
ily, that he felt he should support
Mr.. Tucker. 81 He sharply answered
his opponents charge that he is a
candidate without a platform and
| with nothing but two dead issues
tied to his coat tails, and pointed
out the fact that platforms are the
work of parties, and not of two
militant Democrats, opposing each
other in party primary, and relte-
rated his previous statements that
he stands squarely on the platform
of both the state, and national dem
ocratic sconyentions Of last year. At

The Sea.

! Most people owe tie sea.

transmitted IN ch n g e d
Through countless cons:
from the time when our
hands ana feet werc fms, Of:
when ar lungs imbreathed
Through .gills instead Of nos-

Ito say. But there is some
thing in the "round ocean,
Sgirdled with the: sky" that:
/ failures us with. an. inexpres-.
Isible charm. It is a symbol
,of irlfinity. 1t stretches out
before us like eternity. The
sceaseless tapping Of its
7 u waves supo1l the shore IN
time of calm soothes our
tired senses and lulls our
brain to moods of tranqull
meditation.
For ages before the wa,
ters under the heaven were
gathered together unto one
place, and the dry land ap-
peared, the ocean was our
home. Itmay, therefore, be
an ancestral quickening OF
our pulses that at some time
or other in variably invites
and beckons us to Wanton
with it's breakers. lime
writes no wrinkle OF its
azure brow; such as ,crea-
TONS dawn beheld, it rolleth
now. Lord Byron, from
whom we have quoted,
speaks again and again of
its fascination for him.
There is something hui

man, it has it's moods of VIC
leroe and repose. By turns
it is cruel or tender. 1t is
ceaselessly yearning, striv-

Beyond the horizon what

freighted with riches for us,
OF percbance bearing the
loved one for whom we have
lifelong sought but never

deptl1s-so "darkly, deeply,

treasures may lie hidden
from mortal gaze.
The sea has a purifying in

that we commune with it

the rate is seventy-five cents per hun

The license on trucks depends both
upon the use of the car and also upon
the kind of tires with which it is
equipped. Trucks equipped with
pneumatic tires will take a license
costing seventy-five cents per hun
bred pounds weight of vehicle only
if for private use. and $3.50 per hun

Weight Limits
The attention of truck owners is
called to the fact that outside the
limits of Incorporated towns there is
a maximum limitation on the weight
of the vehicle and the load capacity
which can be carried on the public
highways. 1t is. therefore, essential
that every application for truck IL

preparing a list of all makes, models
and types Of automobiles and trucks,

owner of a passenger car will be able

The comptroller also is compiling the
weights on trucks as far as possible
to secure it. and where the truck is
properly described and complete in
formation given concerning its body

able to give either the exact weight
or Il very close estimate OF what the

Tallahassee. Nov. 19.-The comp
troller's office has been busy for some
months preparing the many new
forms and working out numerous
plans for handling the automobile Ii
cense applications under the new law

estimate for the year 1922 is not less
than $4,000 registrations The new
law requires the weight of the car to
be placed on the tag, and to meet this
requirement ready-prepared aluminium

Blanks
The comptroller found it necessary
to have an entirely new form appli-
cation blank to meet the requirements
of the new law. Because OF the
amount of information required, this
blank will be larger than the blanks
now in use, and the comptroller is
printing 100000 of these. The blanks
will be ready for distribution in the
next few days. and will be sent to
all of the banks, both state and ma
tional to county judges, sheriffs
clerks of circuit court and tax COlleC-
tors in each county. \ supply will be
sent also to any motor club or to
other individuals who may request
them. The comptroller will furnish
blanks to every car owner who re-
quests it. and will endeavor to supply
motor clubs and Others who desire
them in quantities sufficient to meet
their needs but desires that no great
er supply be requested than will be
needed, as he is endeaVOring to save

The comptroller wishes it under
stood that he did not frame the new
automobile law, but is endeavoring to
administer it conscientiously and with
as little inconvenience to the public
as possible. He realizes it is a difficult
law to administer but intends to make
its administration as free from criti-
| cism as possible. To that end he re-
quests the cooperation of all car
owners and urges that in making out
applications for license that complete
information be given by the owner
and that sufficient remittances be en-
closed Cf more than necessary is sent
the surplus will be refunded), thus
avoiding the necessity of returning
the application for correction or COM
pletion.

exploded over Cordele and also at

and also at Albany, southwest of

At Pitts, in Wilcox county, more
than dozen heavy explosions were
heard, then as if machine gun had
been pressed into action, there was a
sharp cracking in the air for several
minutes and red hot metal, some
pieces weighing six pounds each, be-
gan to fall to the earth. In the wake
of the falling fragments was trail

in open fields and so far as known

CHAMBER COMMERCE SECURE
BETTER RAILWAY SERVICE

Through the efforts of the chamber
of commerce Southern Railway off,
cials have agreed to supply frst-class,
clean electrically lighted coaches to
the Columbia -Greenville line. This
announcement was made this morn
ing by VIM. S. Matthews, manager Of
the chamber of commerce.
Chamber of commerce officials
were pleased with this action taken
by the Southern. The movement look
ing to the use of better equipment,
more frequent service and Pullman
accommodations was initiated by Mr..
Matthews several weeks ago. He took
the matter up with w: H. Tayloe, pas
senger traffic manager with head
quarters in Washington. Upon pre-
senting the conditions at present on
the local line Mr.. Matthews was as
sured of immediate Improvement. The
request that a standar Pullman chair
car be placed on the line was left un-
til later time. At the present. Mr..
ayloe indicated that it was not feas-
ible to establish this service. ,~a1
The letter from Mr.. Tayloe to Mr..
Matthews follows: y
81 beg to advise that within a few
days we will replace first class coach
es on the C. & G. line with better
cars, electrically lighted, which will
help some, and onl yregret that we
are not in position to establish Pull
man service at the present time as
you have suggested"
1t is expected that the improve
ments in the equipment will be made
Immediately, well before the close OF
the present week.

State Aid for Schools.

Newberry county gets pretty
good share of the state aid for the
schools though not as much as some
counties. In fact we get back just
about what we pay into the state
treasury for this purpose: Some
counties get more and some much
less. But it is right that the richer
and more prosperous counties should
help to support the schools of the
poorer counties, because it may be
from these that the great men Of the
future are to come. 1t may be in
teresting to have the figures giving
the state aid thus far received and
for what purpose. The itemized
statement of the term extension and
rural graded school money giving the
schools that have been the benefi-
ciaries of the funds have been pub
lished, so I will just include the to-
tails for these:
