DORT STOCK CAR:

.
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

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.

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.

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,

A MESSAGE TO FARM BOYS.
___
Clemson College,'March 24.?The
following fr.m Editor Clarencc Poe,
of the Progressive Farmer, is a part
of one of his Success Talks for Farm
Boys, and we pass it on as an earnest
message to the farm boys of S uth
Carolina.
"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."
