University of South Carolina Libraries
Silver Tea for the F'?bl?c Li brary. On Monday afternoon the Civic League gave a silver tea for the en largement of the present library. Miss Marie Abney, who has been so unselfish in her work for the library, and Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, the presi dent of the Civic League were in charge. A large number of ladies and some of the gentlemen of the town were present. Miss June Rainsford explained li brary methods to those assembled, in a very interesting manner. Delight ful iced tea and sandwiches with mints were served. The silver offering will go toward the sustenance of the library. Child Bitten by Mad Dog. Monday afternoon the little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Corley of the Cle ora section was bitten on the upper lip by a dog that appeared to have hydrophobia. It was at once killed and the head carried to Columbia and an examination indicated that the dog was affected with rabies. The lit tle child was carried to the madstone of Mr. Bush in the Philippi section but the stone did not adhere to the wound. The Pasteur treatment is al so being administered. The parents of the dear little boy have the as surance that those who take Pasteur treatment after being bitten by a dog with rabies rarely ever become the victim of the disease. There is every reason to believe that the little fellow is safe, yet his parents are taking ?very precaution. Mrs. Jas. S. Byrd Entertains. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Jas. S. Byrd entertained delightfully for her many friends. The occasion took the form of a rook and bridge party. The hall, parlor and dining room were filled with tables at which sat a host of card enthusiasts. Dorothy Perkins roses were used for decoration.

Holstein had won the first bridge prize, while the consolation fell to Miss Annie Bee. Misses Elizabeth Smith and Ju lia Roddey drew for the rook prizes. Miss Roddey was the winner. 'Delightful refreshments, consist ing of iced tea and a salad course, concluded the happy afternoon. Two Young Soldiers Conva lescing. Almost without exception our sol dier boys have come back home from the training camps, from the navy and from overseas duty, greatly im proved physically. It is true that sev eral who have reached home sustain ed slight wounds from which they will finally recover. The announce ment that Major W. A. Collett and James 0. Sheppard have arrived in New York and are in government hos pitals has been greatly depressing to their friends. When they left Edge field for ovrseas duty both of these young men were strong and robust, being 100 per cent physically fit. They were both victims of influenza during the winter and are nov.' suffer ing from some after effects. We trust that they will soon recover and secure honorable discharges. Hardy's Letter.

Overland Model 90 Travels Seven Days and Nights Without Stopping Motor COVERED 4,370.1 MILES Gear Was Sealed in High, Making Hardest Possible Test on All Car's Work ing Parts. Remarkable automobile perform ances are not as frequent these days as they were four or five sea sons ago; the American automobile manufacturer has attained so very high a standard of product. That may explain why so much unusual attention has been attracted dur ing the last few days to a new world's performance record made by an Overland stock car, Model 90. New from the factory, this Model 90 was taken from the salesrooms of the Carhart Motor Company at Oklahoma City, Okla., on March 29th, and driven to the lobby of the Lee-Huckins Hotel. There the gear shift lever was disconnected from the low, middle and reverse gears, and the gear-box was seal ed in high. Thc motor was start ed; the car left the hotel and did not return for seven days; that was April 5th. - The Overland 90, driven by a re lay of four drivers, ran night and day, the motor never stopping for 168 continuous hours. The drivers had no advantage of gear shifting during the two days of rain on muddy roads and the twelve to fif teen hours they spent each 24 hour day on good and bad city pavements, in the rush of traffic, and on the Oklahoma roads. It has been said that if a motor car will stand up on an Oklahoma road, it will endure in any other section of the world. In these seven days and nights during which the gear could not .je shifted from high, nor the motor stopped for carburetor adjustment or spark plug change, the Mode! 90 broke the world's record for a test of this kind. The speedometer, care fully checked, showed that it had traveled 4,370.1 miles. That is prac tically one-sixth around the world, or a distance equal to a trip from New York to Los Angeles and back across the southern trial to Oklaho ma City. This remarkable non-stop perfor mance in high gear exceeded the next best record ever made by 129.1 | miles. Another unusual record was afc taincd by the four drivers of this Oklahoma car. The A. A. A. record for a 24-hour non-stop, gear-sealcd i i-high run is 587 miles. That mile ..-o was made in Chicago, several ' This closed a most delightful day, I 1 snly wishing that this fond parent's j in jirthday would come quarterly and,W1j lot annually.

May God's richest blessing rest on Mrs. Ellen Youngblood and her noble rirls, Misses Bessie and Leilah, who ira their mother's chief joy.
