BRUCE-BROW1 Wl'S PRIZE RACI Victor Hemery, the Frenchman, Cross es Wire Second.-60,000 Specta tors See the Great ETent. News and Courier. Savannah, Ga., November 12.-Dav id Bruce-Brown is today the man c the hour in Savannah, and througb out the automobile world. He is th winner of the International Gran Prize race of 1910, held in this cit this morning and afternoon. In hi Benz car, the driver of the hyphenate name outdared, outdrove, outsped an outgeneralled fourteen other drivern known the world over as reckles challengers of the grim reaper. A dozen drivers hurled their ma chines over the course at a speed, s times exceeding one hundred miles a hour, in their wild endeavor to wi the honor of capturing the contes but Bruce-Brown steadily went thei one better, and as he roared over th finishing line, after the twenty-fourt lap of the race, two score thousan people rose from their seats in th grand stand and the bleachers an proclaimed him the victor of the moE interesting and gruelling long diE tance automobile race ever held in tb annals of history. Many Thousands See Race. It is estimated that fully sixt thousand people witnessed today tb great race between the powerful er gines, which were driving their bi steel frames furiously over the blacl, brown oiled course. The scence o the grand stand and bleachers was ir spiring in the extreme. High into tb air rose tier upon tier of humanit: the vari-colored dresses of the fem' nine portion of the throng producin a most invitng aspect. And while at tomobile racing is e.sentially a man' sport, the American gr. and z,?aa rivals her husband and sweetheart i the interest and enthusiasm she di. plays in this most modern and dar gerous sport. Always it was the fer inine portion of the vast concours which was first' to see an advantag gained by Fome favorite driver, an when Bruce-Brown, the winner of th grand prize, hurtled through th banks of humanity for the twent3 fourth and last time, the shrill sweE treble of the ladies fairly drowned th roars, which were emitted by thous ands of throats of equally excite male owners. Haupt Lost ControL As usual, the grim reaper did hi very best to exact his toll on the rac course. During the middle of th race, Willie Haupt, a driver of th Benz team, lost control of his machin at one of the numerous curves in th course and, together with his mechan ician, was hurled through the air fo a distance of thirty feet. Both escap ed ser-ious injury. Nui, so fortunate was Wagner, ii Fint car, which completely overturn ed. ti.:ei'gh some fault in the mac'iin ery. The famous driver was picke up white-faced and unconscious anm rushed to a hospital. His mechaii also sustained serious injuries. Tonight the doctors shook thei heads gravely when asked regardint the condition of the great driver. Probably the greatest piece of pur nerve and recklessness during th race was exhi'bited by Nazzarro, in Fiat. Early in the speed contest th front axle of this driver's car wa bent to such an extent that the injur: was plainly visible to all in the stands But the accident, apparently, did no trouble Nazzarro one whit, for he con tinued plunging along the course at 90-mile-an-hour clip, until almost th, end of the race, when the the cripplei racer showed such evident signs o distress that the running of a furthe: mile would have spelled inevitablb death for the driver and his mechani clan. Nazzarro a Favorite. Nazarro was somewhat of a favorite 'with the ladies in the grand stand, anc the announcement of his dropping out of the contest called for more ex pressions of sympathy and regret that did the horrible news of Wagner's sad accident and Haupt's near escapE from the clutches of the grim reaper Another favorite was Hemery, o1 the Benz team, who finished second in the race, a little over a minute be hind Bruce-Brown. Hemery is knowr throughout the whole world as a darE devil of the first water. The big Ger mnan was hampered by all sorts of tirE trouble today, but, in spite of thli managed to out-distance all his rivalh save one. The grand prize race in Savanna! today was pronounced by the leading drivers, not only to have been th< longest, but also the most successfu ever held in the history of the sport It is now almost an assured thing that the 1910 races, which Savannal secured so unexpectedly and arrang ed for so rapidly and successfully will be an annual feature in the Geor gia city fro mnow on.

Neither death nor injury of driver or mechanic piarred the firts day of -the races of the Savannah Automobile t clubi, held under the auspices of the - Automobile Club of America. The day did not pass without levying its pos sible toll of life, but the casualty was 1but incidental. Willie Rice, a 12-year old boy watching the races, had his skull crushed by a falling sign post. ~He is reported dying at a hospital. The coolness and skill of at least two of the drivers saved them and their mechanics from death or injury. They had calls as close as fall to the lot of those who risk life and limb in speed triials, but their lucky stars were in the ascendant. With whole - skins, but quaking knees, they emerg-U ed from experiences that called forth all they had of resourcefulness. The Pastor and Church Officials. To the Editor Herald and News: The session of the annual confer-: ence is now approaching and as there are thousands of Methodists who are readers of your stroug and progres sive paper it may do good to print the following taken from an exchange, and copied in the Southern Christian; Advocate with the heading: Dea1 Openly With Your Preacher.3 The following article from an ex chan-e reads very much as if it had been written by some one familiar with South Carolina affairs. One of the most lamentable things in church affairs is double dealing. Honesty ,should be pre-eminently the charac - teristic of a Christian indivdual and of a Christian community. We ask a careful review of the following ex cerpt: Some few years ago the official board of one of our stations, as the year was drawing to a close, gave '-thir nator to understand that they. ia acce.pted their statement in all ruth and sincerity. But in reality hey did not care for his return for .nother year, and sent one of their epresentatives to the conference to o state to the bishop presiding. In other words, they led him to believe one thing when they really meant an ther thing, and when he became ap )rised of their intention he was very nuoh humiliated and some of them >ecame embarrassed. That sort of lealing was not fair and open. They Lid not treat their preacher right. Of :ourse, he did not return and did not lesire to return when he incidentally earned the exact situation. It so happens that the several con erences are now approaching, and iot only are the official boards a :rifle anxious. about their preachers 'or another year, but many of the )reachers themselves are necessarily Lnxious. This thing of moving at the i md of one or two or three years is a ;erious matter with preachers and amilies. tI is really a very expensive >usiness with most of them. There ore, no presiding elder ought to think )f suggesting a change of pastors in tny charge unless there is a pressing reason for such change. And the )ishop ought not to entertain such a ;uggestion without satisfying himself :hat either the good of the man or the welfare of the charge requires it. VIoving a preacher simply because -ome one or two members of his ,harge desire it because of some little ersonal like or dislike ought not to )e thought of for a moment. But, if in the judgment of the mem Jers of the board, a change is thought -eally necessary, then they ought not o say one thing to the pastor and an )ther thing to the presiding elder and he bishop. Honesty and fair dealing -equire good men on the board to talk rankly to the preacher, if they deem t necessary to do any talking to any )ody, and let him know the situation Ls they understand it. In pursuing his course they will have more re pect for themselves and the preacher rill have far more confiedence in their ;incerity. To do otherwise is not nanly, and it is not right. No set of nen have anything to lose by doing he right thing in the right way.. It is he double-dealing method that is rep ehensible. Now, brethren of the laity And of the ministry, think on t.hese hings and thereby save heart-burn ngs and a rupture of mutual confi Lnee.
