DORT STOCK CAR: MAKES GOOD III . EXCEEDS IHHNIHS IH SEVERE TEST. CARRIES GOOD LOAD ? ' I Test Made on Variety of Roads. Machines Witstands Hard Usage in Endurance Run. Covering 23 states of the uni n, under almost every conceivable road condition, including the most perfect highways and country trails that were at times well nigh impassable, a stcck model Dort touring car recent-j ly completed a trip, tbat ror endurance and stamina will live for a long time as a record performance in Dort , annals. Primarily this was not a trip for1 a record, ncr a Journey to display the ! Dort's prowess particularly, to the public, but an endurance run to give the Dort engineering and testing department accurate and adequate data regarding Dort performance in various climates and under varying conditions. Consequently the results of the trip not only afforded a wealth of particular information regarding every part of the Dort car, but also offered tD every motorist a splendid demonstration of Dort ability For the car made the trip and made it not only successfully but without mishap. The miles it traveled during the journey were equal to the mileage of more than two ordinary seasons of an automobile's life. i . The start was made from the factory in the late summer and continued throughout the forepart of the winter months. This enables the, ? testing crew to thoroughly investi- j gate touring conditions over all sorts j or roaas ana mrougn every conceivable climate. There were snow drifts, mud, rain, hills and mountains and the way the Dort car negotiated bad roads and heavy snow was in itself a revelation even to the members of the engineering staff who took the car the entire route. The states traversed combined the shell roads of the South, the mountainous roads of the West, the perfect roads of Cali(< rnia end the gumbo mud roads of the central portion of the country. At times some cf the; roads were mud pools for miles at a i stretch or else were inudated lakes where the water often reached higher than the running boards. But this not faze the Dort. It successfully overcame all the obstacles which confronted it and arrived home running Just as sweetly as when it left the factory mere was & ioaa or i,uuu pounas In the car at all times?the equivar lent of five passengers e&ci: weighing Why man we mad cigarett ( in ?clenf ^j ine-pape carton \ 200 p unds, and the Dort stood up under this weight difficulty. No attempt was made to make a speed record, although the average day's drive was 150 miles. The run was simply for experimental purposes and it pr ved the Dort tG be no experiment. When it is u in "J ma; the atmosphere conditions changed several times during J the run; that the tour embraced all i climates of this c untry and took in . every possime Kind 01 a ruau irum the boulevards of California to the wallows ? f the Southern states and that the actual mileage was something enormous for so short a space of time, it will be readily understood what trials the car met successfully. This remarkable D rt test, although nowise remarkable from the factory experimental standpoint, is just another phase of Dort business methods in its endeavor to maintain h nest quality in its product at all times, They represent the work of a faithful engineering experimental department; men who thoroughly understand motors and who are constantly striving to make the Dort more perfect in her daily service to the user. In summing up the results of this and similar trips, the manager of the experimental department says: "There never has been a privately owned mot'r car called upon to make such strenuous trips to which we put the Dort. As a matter of fact the average owner would consider a man bereft of his sense if he put his car through the traces' the way we do in those experimental runs. However., this is the only way we can adequately determine the Dort's staunchness and its reliability. In these tests we yiuve vuuciusiveiy me aouuy or ine Dort to withstand more hard kn cks 1 than ordinary service can ever give it an,j f?r this reason Dort ownersj receive more satisfaction and service' than they really expect fr m their; cars."?ltadv. o THE FERTILIZER SITUATION. Clemson College, March 12?Jt appears now from the best information available that there is to be a shortage in the fertilizer supply that will | make it very difficult if not impossible to get out all (f the fertilizers needed by seeding time. It seems that strikes in the Florida phosphate fields delayed factories in starting up the production of acid phosphate.. Then too the railroads seem to have been unable tD maintain a sufficient supply of phosphate rock t0 the manufacturers and also that inadequate docking facilities for ships and labor shortage at ports have retarded the supply of potash and nitrate cf soda to the manufacturers. However, the manufacturers are putting forth every effort t0 meet the demands, and the fertilizer interests generally will do their best to take care of late orders. Farmers who fail to get their full buppues ui leruiizers in wuit; iu apply them before planting are advised that they can be applied as is custrmary for second applications. In this case the fertilizer should be put as near the row as possible without disturbing the growing plants too much. The crop prospects indicate that this Is a year when liberal use of fertilizers will be more than usually wise and profitable, and it is suggested that those farmers who have not yet placed their orders should 40 so without delay and thus help out the manufacturers a clear conception of the neeeds of the consumers and the size of the manufacturers' j b in meeting thos^ needs. e for you!

Hampton County Man Will Advocate' Repeal of Volstead Act Columbia, March 20?Coming out | squarely for (he repeal of the Volstead act in favor of less severe prohibition enforcement statute and urging the( simplification of the nations tax burden by the amortization of the pres-; ent war debt, Ge rge Warren, of Hampton, solicitor of the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit, announced tor tne United States Senate here tonight in, opposition to the incumbent, Ellis n Diirant Smith, of Lynchburg. Mr. Warren is a young man only j thirty-two years of age but he has' had a wealth of political experience. He served in the House f Represen-j tatives here during the administra-, tions of Blease and Manning and was' elected judge of the Fourteenth cir-J cuit but declined to serve, giving as his reasons, that as he had fathered j the bill establishing the circuit and' that the acceptance of the ermine atj great personal sacrifice to himself j would be misconstrued by the pe pie; as an attempt on his part to create1 an office for personal aggrandize-1 ment. He was the youngest man ever elected judge in the State. Later he was elected solicitor of the circuit. He is a graduate of Clemson College. o Rev. F. O. S. Curtis. The following beautiful tribute to the memory of Rev. F. O S. Curtis, i taken from a recent issue of the Bap-j ttSt Courier, will annrpciatorl hv I , f VV...WU "J hundreds of Dillon c unly friends by whom Mr Curtis is most affectionately remembered: "Of all the men I have known there was not one at all like Curtis. Of his honesty, truthfulness and trueness; of his purity, sincerity, unselfishness, piety, devotion, loyalty, c urage and all that goes to make an ideal man and Christian, I never in all my life doubted. And yet although he was twelve years my: senior, he always made me feel he was a boy. Only his close friends felt that way, I am sure, for out in the world he was self-assertive en ugh. But among his friends he had learned the disiciple spirit taught by Christ as no other man I ever knew had, viz., that of making himself the least among them. With the Lord and his brethren he was a little child. For simplicity and transparency he surpassed any man I ever knew. "His sermonizing and preaching were unique. He studied homilitics under Dr. Broadus, but paid little attention to it in after life. He was almost a genius in his naturalness. I have heard him preach often an<j he never b red me, nor annoyed me but always gave me pleasure and helped me. It was a joy to hear him preach "Socially he was a jewel. Not that he sparkled in witty or pithy sayings, but that in his good cheer and loveliness and lovefulness, he as beautiful. "And withal be loved to be loved, and, God bless him, lie g t a full measure from all who knew him In heaven, now? With God and all the good? Where else could Curtis go and be at all satisfied or at all fit his environment? "Earth was never a fit place for his pure and noble s ul. In the presence of his splendid spirit I can hardly feel much boldness of hope to come also. But I am sure he would ask God to let me in and grieve if I were turned away. "He was my friend and I was his friend. I loved him and he knew it, Mm j^B fit your cigarette deDmpletely y>u'll agree de to meet your taste! or, fragrance and mel/ due to Camels qual blend of choice Turk- I e Domestic tobaccos n!

"Make the most of your mind. Go to school every day you can. Study at home. Read the best b oks, papers end magazines. Join the agricultural club work this year. And if you find it impossible to take a regular two years' or four years' college course, resolve that you will at least take a sh rt course in agriculture at some agricultural college. "Especially do I hope that you will make a determined effort to get into boys' club work this year, corn club, pig club, or something if the kind. Read what we had to say about this matter in the Progressive Farmer week before last. Talk with your father about it, ani^get him to let you go in with the other b ys this year. Then talk with your teacher or your county demonstration agent, and get your name enrolled. Or if no club is being V rganized near you and you do not find another way of getting into club work, just drop a postal card to the Progressive Farmer, giving your age and saying what kind of club y u wish to join, and we will ask your state club agent to give the matter immediate attention. "Please do not put off joining. Getting into club work this year may prove the turning point for success in y.ur whole career." Statement of the Condition of THE BANK OF LAKE VIEW, a< Lake View, S.
