Il'lane Passengers Narrow Escape
Elko, Nev., May 23?Seven airpane
passengers and two pilots came
lirough a spectacular accident 'without
serious injury dear here early
yesterday wheh a big westbound
Boeing air mail transport caught fire
in mid-air, made a forced landing and
burned in its tracks.. Th$_.tri-motored
plane carrying mail and passengers
to San Francisco was but a
few minutes out of Elko when the
left motor failed. Flames spurted
from the dead engine and ignited the
left wing. The transport was about
2,000 feet in the air and landing on
the desert without lights was a
matter of much guess-work. Chief
Pilot Hugh Barker pointed the plane
downward at a sharp angle and it
I dived toward the earth like a huge
hind. Barker was fortunate in having
descended toward a fairly level
spot and the plane made a smooth
landing under the circumstances.
Boeing officials said the plane and
everything aboard it was a total loss
but that none of the passengers had
been injured.
Blease Reprint Champion
Senator Blease of South Carolina
seems to be out for a new record?
that of having reprinted in The Congressional
Record more stuff thaVi
any other member of Congress, says
The Pathfinder. At present he is
far in the lead. He appears to clip
out and save all newspaper stories
about prohibition cases where a shot
has been fired or an arrest made and
then has the whole bunch reprinted
in The Record. It takes him only a
?
day or two to accumulate a new big
batch of clippings. It is a popular
subject. Hut the senator's reprinting
activity is not limited to the booze
business. For instance, the proceedings
of a farm loan bank trial in his
: State, reprinted from his home paper,
took up 11 solid pages of The Record.
Through senatorial courtesy the
pages of The Record are open to anything
any senator wants to put in it.
It is expensive, but nonobjection is
made on that score. Probably few,
if any, senators read what another
has reprinted in this wpy. If they
had to do that they would be mdre
selective as to- the subject matter.
The most discomforting thing
about dodging aj\ auto is the dirty
look the driver gived you for ecaping.

Officers Get Booze and Cars
-Chief W. F. Mothershed and Night
i Policeman Joe Byrd during last week
by their patient and watchful waitj
ing were able to catch two liquor cars
j and capture the occupants of one of
the cars. On Wednesday night they
i held up a Ford coupe occupied by two
; negroes who gave their names as
| Karl Brown and Willie Massey, cit-*
1 izens of Charlotte. The car contained
twelve gallons of liquor. They
were placed under arrest and locked
.up, and when arraigned plead.guilty
. and were each given the maximum
service of thirty days each by Mayor
[Clybuin. The car was confiscated,
j On Thursday night the same offi-,
cers captured bigger game, the prize
being a Graham-Paige Sedan, contuinj
ing one hundred and two gallons.
When discovered, the driver of the
car made a quick turn to retrace his
route, but the officers shot down
three of the tires and after running
for some distance the occupants, who
were some distance ahead pf the ofj
ficers, abandoned the car and made
| their get-away in the darkness, leav:
ing the car and booze behind. The
jcar, which is still in possession of the
town, has been claimed by a financing
agency. Evidently there will have to
be further developments before they
can recover . it, however.? Kershaw

Belk Chain! Enters Newberry
Newberry, May 22.?Of much interest
to this section of the State is
the announcement that Belk's Department
Stores will add another link
to their chain. A lease of ten years

he recently purchased* from J. J.
Langford on Upper Main street. The

building will be ready for occupancy
by the big chain store.
