TRAVELING GAMECOCKS. South Carolina Boys Moke Long Trip With Small Kaptnae. *iJi- i m'.I ? . (Franklin Evening Star, Franklin, Indiana.) Nearly 860 tailea in three daya without an automobile and on a mere $8! Can you beat it? Well, hardly, but that's the record of William ' Thompson, aged 17, of Sumter, S. C., nephew of Harry Ever road, and his two boy companions, Norwood and Preston Mood, also of Sumter. Boy, page Gulliver! The boys left their homes last Thursday morning and after a trip of a few hundred miles arrived at Junaluska Lake. There they remained at the home of a friend, Wilbur Stubbs, until Monday morning. They left Junaluska jn the general direction of Franklin, Itid., and without any definite idea as-to how they were going to get there. The main object of the trip was to reach the home of the Everroada in as short a time M possible in order to convince the folks back home that it really could be done, the boys said. A short distance out of Junaluska the boys were picked up by a friendly motorist. J. C. Wright, of Shelbyville, Ky. He gave them a lift of 300 miles and dropped them in his home town, with best wishes for their success on the trip. \ On Wednesday the boys started bright and early for the big city of Louisville, Ky. They got rides front several passing autoists, but were plodding steadily along the highway qn foot when a rain came up. Just as the rain'began to fall, they were picked up by a Lincoln sedan, "a big white one with wire wheels and a chauffeur, too," explained Preston Mood. The youthful travelers rode in style into Louisville and were taken within a few blocks of the inierurbait * station. They didn't have much use tor traction lines, however, considering their financial status, so they contin-' ued on foot, arriving in Franklin about 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon somewhat tired, but successful, nevertheless. ? "They told us we'd never make It when we left home," the boys said, but we sure fooled them. We were plenty lucky, but we had some papers that helped us along." The boys are acquainted with T. Q. McLeod, governor of South Carolina, and a letter of recommendation from him added considerable in the Journey. "It kept people from thinking we were bums, at least," young Thompson said. Another letter from a Ford dealer in Sumter also helped a lot, the boys declared. Whenever they came into a large city they presented the letter to some Ford deafer and were aided in getting out of town in one or two instances were helped in getting to the next city. The boys plan to remain in FrankI liu over the week-end at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Kverroad and then to return to their homes, traveling the. same way, cover a different route. They plan to go to Indianapolis and then take the National highway to Washington. j.j Once in Washington, they will be all okeh, as they know a number of persons living there, "i expect we'll have to call on the president, if he's at home," one of the boys said. "We^ve got to show him that letter from Mr. McLeod and maybe get it autographed before we return home." Koald Amundsen, Arctic explorer, leader of the recent airflfght in the Italian dirigible Norge over the ton of the world, left New York on Saturday for his home in Oslo, Norway. He says that his work is finished, as all places of the world have now been discovered. Amundsen is 56 years of age. hinK Get# Life Sentence Chester, July 9.?Probably the most sensational murder case iu Cheater county's history ended this afternoon when the jury after approximately thirty minutes deliberation rendered a verdict of murder with recommendation to mercy in the ouso of Sam King of near Richburg, who was charged with killing Mrs. Bessie Ilicklin Mobley, wife of David Mobley, iij her yard on May 2, last, when he is said to have been shooting at Ttufus Mediin, of Columbia. Thijj verdict carries life imprisonment. King's attorneys have noted a' motion for a new trial at some early date before Judge J, K. Henry. Judge Henry stated that ho approved of the verdict recommending King for mercy. This case, which has attracted enormous crowds, many coming hwa from a radius of eighty miles, baa had Wide ramifications notably revealing such startling information as to bootlegging and immorality in thia section and other sections , of H* state and these came in for a vigor* ous and scathiug denunciation from Judge Henry. Thirty-seven poisons died by vlo" lent accidents in th<? eleven Southern states during the week ending last Saturcjjey. Also there were 249 persons receiving" more or' less serioua injuries. Ex-Governor llardwick and Mrs. Hardwick wero among the list of injured In Georgia, their car being hit by a car driven by small boys. South Carolina's accidental deaths totaled five and accidents nine. ?' C- % .. ;'.v-:;e WM i II ???wi I i ???warn?. ^ u^^iigip l. , ,,.,.ii.

Oil Company (New Jersey) has developed an. oil wliich embodies an entirely new principle in motor lubrication. mm "Standard" Motor Oil eliminates the possibility of dry spots on the cylinder walls?* failing whi^h has Lalways been present in eventhe bt^t of the.old ^ 6lls. This irregular or spotty lubrication has baffled engineers ever since the perfection of theintertpl combustion engine. With many other motor oils, if the motor stands idle for a day or a week, there occurs the possibility of dfjr IilP* motor is stunning there ire often areas where there is no fluid film of oil whatever. Then there occurs of metal on metal which results in scoring of the cylinder walls. iecaujMfe^ere is little or no seal between the piston and cylinder walls, gasoline' is forced through into the crank case oil. EHlution results, with a consequent lessening of the lubricatihg value of the oil. When this absence ofacomplete piston seal persist, there is resultant lack of power?the car doe&'t climb hills well; it misbehaves at low speeds in high gear; the motor heats up; heavy deposits of carbon are formed; gasoline and oil com l||~ sumption increases. The best of the old type oils-oould not correct this - condition. yfjf oilier oil that will "stay put?' The problem was to find an oU that would cling to metal surface* _ SO thoroughly so as to abolish the k areas of partial lubrication. It mutt not be an oil of to]> heavy a gemku J It must be, in fact, an )m1 of greater oils- J ttess. And that is exactly what "Starid, ard" Motor Oil is. f m> i iMaMM i I Kir more than three years the Standard Oil chemists and engineers ^ experimented with this new "Standard" Motor Oil winch* if shccessltil, would mean more to the motorist than any recent advance in the automotive industry. The if* tests proved that "Standard" Motor Oil would withstand $ far heavier load before breaking down than any of the leaditigoil* of the old type. This showed its lubricating superiority. Poweritem.came ncft.. It wasfeund that the lower friction losses and the better pitton seal caused a gain of 5% to 5% in power when motors were lubricated with 'Standard" Motor Oil. In cases where motors were In poor condition, the increase in power ; often ran up to 10%. Road tests on Scores of cars showed^ tartling. . improvements in hiU-climbing ability when. ' cars were lubricated with "Standard*- Motor Oil. They showed gains in gasoline milesper-gallon from 5% to 20%, depending upon the make and condition of the car. Amazing results can be verified 'with your own ear It was found that motors rati cooler, there ' i was less crmnk-caSe dilution, and carburetors could be adjusted for leaner mixtures. These tests have covered more than three years' time and seme of the results have run quite beyond the original expectations. It may seem almost incredible thftta lubricating oil can produce such improvements in car operation. But trying is believing, and many motorists reppft that they can ao- . tually "feel the difference" while ^driving. i^-SStandard" Motor Olt is on sale now at "Standard" Service Stations and at dealers, in Medium, Heavy and Heavy X grades, o itfl .
