-FOUR NATIONS HAVE.
DRIVERS In GREAT
AUTO RACE TODAY
Twenty Three Contestants on the
Starting Line Running for Prizes
Aggregating Nearly 500, OOO

indianapolis, May 30-With more
than 100000 spectators locking on, %
drivers representing four nations, to-
day lined their cars at the pole for
the starting bomb at the ninth re-
newal OF the 500 miles speedway au-
tCmcbile race for nearly 100000 in
prizes which is awaiting the winners
of the country's auto racing classic.
The track is , IL, miles to the lap,
necessitating 200 laps to the race. A
cool breeze through the night had
brought the bricks of the track to a
fairly low temperature, a feature
necessary for fast work, for a warm
track plays havoc with the tires and
3ecessitates many trips to the pits,
thus lowering the average speed. In
dications are that the weather would
be fair, the predictions being for a
Clear sky.
Ralph de Palma, plotting an eight
cylinder car, drew the pole. Roscoe
Sarlee and Joe Boyer were lined
along side Of him.
The cars were lined up three
abreast in column to avoid conges-
ton at the dangerous south turn, the
first bend.
Barney OIdfe!d, famous race driver
set the pace for one lap which did
not count in the race, giving the con-
,estants a flying start
Following is the list CT prizes;
First place: $4,000; second place
$4,000; third, $1,000; fourth, $500;
fifth, $4,000; sixth, $4,000; seventh
$1,000; eighth, $1,000; ninth, $1,5OO;
tenth. $1,400.
Lap prizes of 500 to the winner OF
each Of the first $50 laps and to the
winner of alternate laps after that to-
tailed nearly $4,000 while automobile
accessory firms had offered prizes OF
mere than 100000
The race was scheduled 10 start at

dition with his throat cut, Joe Sever
ance is severely lacerated about the

O'Clock this evening following a re-
port that the negro had made SLAM
derous remarks about a married
daughter of Severance, a respectable

Reports are that Severance heard

about his daughter and called upon
Hicks for a conference. The two men
drove out in car and located the

EHRHARDT BUREAU
Big Catch of Fish.
". F. HERS, Manager.

Ehrhardt, Sept. 20.-A few days
ago small fishing party was trying
their luck in Little Saltkehatchie
swamp when they decided to go in for
bigger game. 1t was suggested that
they capture an alligator which was
known to have his cave in a small
lake near by. This suggestion was
met with approval by all, so they
proceeded to said lake and began to
search for the alligator. A cypress
log about twenty feet long, was
found lying under the water in the
lake, which they pulled out to the
hill. AS soon as the log was taken
out of the water strange noises were
heard as if coming from inside the
cypress. A hole was cut into the log,
which was found to be hollow, and
it was found to be full of catfish.
After taking them out and counting
it was found that they had one hun
dred and thirty-two.

School to Open Sept. 26th.

School will open on the 26th in
stead of the 18th, as previously re-
ported. This delay was due to hav-
ing some repairs and changes made
in the school building. We are
glad to say that Mrs. A. W. Brab-
ham will teach for us again. She
will be assisted this year by Miss
Hightower, of Denmark. We are
looking forward to the time when
our section can boast Of an "up-to-
date rural graded school. Other
communities have done so, and why
shouldn't we? Surely it looks like
'hitching our wagon to star to
hope for great things with the pres
ent financial crisis staring us in the
face. We are sure though that there
is brighter day ahead, and this duty
we owe to our children and to pos
terity.

The Orangeburg Hawaiians.

Last Friday evening five Orange
burg county boys gave display at
the Olar school auditorium, some
thing more or less of correct imi-
tation of native Hawaiian musicale,
which was really more correct than
exact, and charging admission there
for. They were dressed like real
inhabitants of the South Sea islands,
and further camoufaged by spot
light about the color of moon light.
They put up pretty good imitation
so far as appearance was concerned.
But to those who were expecting real
Hawaiians, and their kind Of music,
the one great consolation was that it
did not last so long after all.
However, in the light of the fact
that it was more or less home talent,
it was not bad. The foreigner oper-
ating the guitar really showed that
he had given some time and effort
to his part. Moral: Fellows, the
next time YOU want to show tell us
exactly who you are, what you are
trying to do, etc., and we will not
take it so seriously-really we might
think it pretty good. 1t wasn't Moses,
(but who was it,anyway?): Blessed
is he that expecteth nothing, etc.

Cotton Crop Discouraging.

I note with some dissatisfaction
that the condition of the cotton crop
for Bamberg county has taken quite
a sudden as we'll as disastrous drop,
according to a telegraphic survey of
the state made by the Peoples Ma
tional Bank, of Rock Hill. In the
government report, last made, the
condition for this county was set at
"a per cent, in the survey just men
toned it is down to 20 per cent. For
the whole state the average condition
has dropped from so per cent. in the
last government report to 3S.9 in the
telegraphic survey just mentioned.
This is too much to bear; let's cut
out the surveys and find out that
we are dead gradually. Tell it to us
softly.
Seriously, we are up against it, but
that is no sign of defeat. We believe
that history will prove our statement,
that no people ever became great or
even noteworthy until they were first
up against it and that hard-or would
it be more correct to say that no peo-
pie ever proved their greatness with
out a chance? However we view it,
We have the chance to show our met
tie now and along with the sentimen-
tai incentive, there is that of raw ne
cessity. All together, now, smile and
at it.

Entitled to Rest.

The annual inspection Of the terri
torial battalion had taken pla and
had passed off satisfactorily, or was
about to pass off satisfactorily.
The band formed up, and the band
major gave the order to march. The
musicians struck up lively air, and
stepped off briskly.
On the left of the front rank, how
ever, there was player of the big
bass horn, and, after marching lit
tie way this man suddenly stopped
playing and stood still.
Naturally this maneuver threw the
comrades moving behind him in con-
fusion. ...-
"Move on man." roared the band
major. March! What on earth are
you waiting for?"
"Be aisy, sir, be aisy," replied the
bass horn player, "I've got fifteen
bars rest!"
