Owners Wreck
Famous Saucer
The Charlotte Speedway, from
whose boards echoed the mighty roar
from powerful racing automobiles ah
they swept like tiny streaks around
the track in times past will soon be
>nly a memory.
Famous the nation over from asr
sociation with such idols of the "roaring
road" as Tommy Milton, Leon
Ouray, the late Frank Lockhart, Karl
Cooper and many others the old
saucer is being dismantled for the
good timber and steel it contains.
Announcement of its doom was
made yesterday by Ue A. Folger,
member of a group of threu Churlotto
men who purchased the property less
than two years. The recent death of
C. C. Coddirtgton left but two of the
original group which also include B.
O. Heath, another well-known figure
in the automotive world.
The fanious structure, once gazed
upon by thousands of racing fans
from all over the country, now presents
an almost ghost-like appearance
as it stands forlorn and deserted
and ab.out to be forgotten. The
stout timbers that once proudly sup*
ported the cars of DePaolo and McDonough
and Comer and others as
they raced for supremacy now makes
queer and lonely whistling sounds
as the winds sweep through them.
The lumber and steel salvaged from
the structure, Mr. Folger said, will
be sold off the site. The work of dismantling
will move forward as rapidly
as the material is sold. Tho
timber will be graded and stacked,
ready for delivery when it is purchased.
A. M. Griffin of Baltimore, Md.,
representing a salvaging "firm, is in
charge of the dismantling process.
He estimates that some ten months
will be required to take away the entire
structure.
The speedway, which cost in the
neighborhood of $380,000 when erected,
contains more than five and one.
half--million "feet of lumber. A great
portion of this timber, according to
information, is in good condition.?

Two York Homes
Burned To Ground
York, S. C., March 7.?'Damage estimated
at approximately $18,000 was
done by fire which at noon today-destroyed
the homes of Harvey E.
Ferguson and Miss Margaret McCorkle,
on King's Mountain street
here. Only the hardest kind of work
on the part of the fire department
prevented several other residences
being burned.
The flames, fanned by high March
winds, had gained great headway in
the second story of the Fergusbn
home, where the blaze started, before
they were discovered. Mrs. Ferguson,
at the risk of her life, made her way
up a blazing stairway and saved her
own small daughter, Namoi, and
Tommy Ferguson, two, son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. M. Ferguson, who live
next door, and Marion Hartness, five.
She carried the three children down
the stairway.

play that received more praise than

after you have seen it.
Questions About Toxin-Antitoxin
Who will give the treatments to
our children?
Ydur family physician, if you-Vish,
I or your County Health Officer. In
counties not having health officers
the county nurse or the State field
nurse assigned to your section of the
State will help interested communities
to arrange for clinics where a number
of children can be treated at one
time. The ergtanization of such a
clinic by a local group, such as the
Parent-Teacher Association or the
County Council of Farm Women,
would be an undertaking well worth
while.
Where can we get toxin-antitoxin ?
If your family physfcian gives the
treatments lie will order the mixture
for you either through a drug store
in your community, your County
"Hep ,1th Officer, or your State. Board
of fehUh'. The fund appropriated by
tTie General Assembly allows the
State Board of Health to distribute
free antitoxin but, does not provide
for free toxin-antitoxin. ^ Arrangements
have been made, ' however,
with a manufacturing company to*
supply our . citizens with toxin-antitoxin,
through the State Board of
Health, at very reasonable pftcea.

What will thfcbe. treatments cost?
The State Board of Health has obtained
permission from the Federal
Government to use a small part of
the money appropriated under^ the
Sheppard-Towner Acjt to buy toxinantitoxin
for the immunization of
children under seven years of age.
If your children are under seven you
can get the mixture free and the only
cost to you will be what your doctor
charges to administer it. There is no
charge for giving it at clinics. The
period during which toxin-antitoxin
may be obtained free will end J una
20, 1929.
For children seven years old and
over toxin-anttloxin may be procured
through the State Board of Health
at the following prices:
Large package containing enough
t^ immunize eight or nine children,
three inoculations each $1.25,
Individual package containing I
enough for~OTO vcbiLd, three inocula-1
tions, 40 cents.
0 If given in clinics to groups of
eight or nine the large package can
t be used to advantage. This package
is supposed to treat ten children but
owing to unavoidable waste it has
been found that only eight, as a rule,
can be immunized from it. This
makes the cost about fifteen cents
per chilli (five cents for each inoculation.
If your child is treated alone
the individual package has to be
used and the cost would be^forty
cents plus your doctor's charge for
administering it.
Surely, With the means of protection
so easily procurable, every child
1 in ^outh Carolina can be safeguarded;

Soil Frosion Is Costly
Soil eroeion washes millions of dollars
a year right out of the picket*
of America's farmers, says H, II.
Bennett of the U. t>. Dc|mrtment of
Agriculture. lie pitches at us a
total estimate of around 120 billion
pmndz of plant food that the rams
gut l>etween Christmas and Christmas.
So many figures make FULL
HOWS dixzy, but that looks like as
much plant food as thcre'd t? In 500
million tons of a 2-8-2 fertiliser.
Anyway the cost of dams add terraces
and grass and trees to stop all
that waste for a lot of years would
cost a mighty little part of what it !
rol>s away HVHIIY year. Let's
? heir a motion.
V-C Saves Costs
Expense jx>r aere goes up
with "factors and practices
designed to maintain or increase
cotton yield," says the
U. S. Department <>f Agriculture.
But these same wise
factors and practices, it adds*
LOWElt THE COST PER
POUND. And that "spells
Profit. V-C bags are full of it.
"That plant foods can be reduced to
formulas as exact as those need for
animals is coming to be understood."

Tue man who's too stingy to feed
the crop that he .expects to-food him
is like the Scotchman Mixed Goods
tells about. He was leaving to

V-C???T
Fertilizer Brings Profit
Proper fertilization and culture
bring generous response from the
warm-hearted Irish potato.
cause those that the south grows are
in the market early and command
good prices, it pays especially/to
fertilize thqm well. Fertilizer means
earlier matwrity^ bigger yield, better
quality /larger size,?the points that
bring good price.

blindfold teats are out <>f date, yet
some folks still shut their eyes without

Let Poor Lands Go
"The answer to surpluses may be
found in the more efficient farming
of the better land, with the return
of still more of the marginal land to
pasture, woodland and waste."?
Dr. Firman K. Bear, Ohio State
University.

"I havk 17RED V-C Fertilizers for'

The Chemists Work Fast
"Chemical i.M iu. ii, in providing

Where Grass Belongs
Grass in its right place
looks mighty pretty, no matter

it in a field. In front of the
house, around the church or
the school, in the courthouse
square, the cemetery lot, or a
IRlIe park at the depot, rich
green fcrass is a rest for the
