Expelled From France a
Paris, France, -Sept. 3.?William
Randolph Hearst, American publisher
of a chain of newspapers, owner of
the International News Service, and
several magu/.ines, was expelled from
France Tuesday by the French government.
The reason for this net
was given us Hearst's attitude towards
France and because of the so -called
"Horan" incident in 1 928 when
ii Hearst reporter obtained arid published
a secret document relative to
the Franco-English naval negotiations.
(fours! is said to have made
the following remark after being ordered
out of France: "I am like the
man who was told that he was going
blind and who said that he did
not mind as he had seen everything
anyhow. In fact the whole affair
reminds me of the story of the rather
effeminate young man who went to
call on his best girl. He found her
in the arms of another fellow. The
youth wont into the hall, took his
rival's umbrella and broke it, and
suid, "Now I hope it rains."
The Call of The Outdoors
Washington, Sept. 4.?The call of
the outdoors was strong enough during
the season of 1928-29 for 6,425,000
persons to take out hunting,
fishing, or combined hunting and
fishing licenses for which they paid
more than $9,.TOO,000. The number
of licenses decreased slightly as compared
wt?h the season of 1927-28,
when 6,462,550 licenses were issues!,
but the fees then, $9,888,173 we're
less. Figures made public Tuesday
at the bureau of biological survey
showed that New York led the states
in the number of licenses. Pennsylvania
was second. '
The biggest and best state fair
ever held will be this year's, Paul
V. Moore, secretary of-the annual
state festival, said in Columbia Friday.
"Our plans are being worked
out, near the stage of completion
and everything looks bright for the
best program ever held here," the
secretary declared. The dates for
the fair are October 20-25.
Franklin D. West, 78, of Woodruff,
was found dead Thursday morning
under the steering wheel of his automobile
which had gone off a seven
f(K>t embankment after running the
length of a bridge over Wofford
creek, three miles north of that city
on the Spartanburg road. A physician
said ho died of a heart attack.
Indications were he was stricken as
he drove his cur otito the bridge.

officer, .who shot himself to deal!
Saturday at Gadsden, Ala., has beet

Sailing aboard the liner Brente

Baby is Killed
By Speed Cop
Hazard, Ky., 8ept.0.?The twentymonth#-old
daughter of Mr. and Mr*.
Charles Maggard, of Hard Burley,
died In' a hoapitai here tonight of a
bullet wound received while riding
with her parents in an automobile.
B, K, iiill. chief of the Hazard five
department, who has a special duty
job as a speed officer, was jailed
charged with the shooting.
Deputy Jailor Luther Combe said
he understood that Hill said he fired
to frighten the Maggards to a stop,
and had no intention of hitting anyone
lit the car.
The Maggards were on their way
from Hazard to their home at Hard
Hurley aboutj five miles distant. The
shoojbing occur rod near Walkertown,
about one mile out of Hazard. They
immediately returned to the hospital
but the chihl died upon arrival. Hill
surrendered to Ferry county officers.
A crowd gathered in front of the
hofepital after the child was broughtin
and news of the shooting spread.
Fear of violence caused Perry county
Officers to refuse permission for
anyone to interview Hill.
The child was riding 'on her mother's
lap when shot. The bullet penetrated
her back just under the left
shoulder hlude. The Maggards denied
they had been speeding.
"Auto intoxication," Eh?
It is an old saying that to really
krx>w a person one should know him
while he is drunk. There is a tradition
to the effect /that the state of intoxication
strips the veneer off a
man ami reveals him to his comrades
for what ho really is.
Whatever may be the merit in that
tradition, the thought comes to mind
as one reads the declaration of the (
president of the New York Automobile
Club to the effect that the chief
menace in motor travel is the."road
hog," and that the great need in our
motoring relations is a "return to the
old-favshionod courtesy which prevailed
in the days of the horse and buggy"
Everybody knows what the "road
hog" is. He may be described, in
brief as one who forgets all the ordinary
rules of courtesy on the road,
and goes ahead regardless, whenever
he m?y happen to believe he has the
"right of way" and without regard to
the convenience or safety of other
travelers on the road. And there Ls
little question that this sort o? thing
causes a lot of accidents.
And it is a strange thing that
many people who in their ordinary
business ami social relationships are
courteous and considerate onougjr,
forget all these social obligations to
the rest of humanity when they get
out on the street or highway with an
automobile. It may be that-'motor
driving, as well as getting liquored
up, reveals the true man, and serves
as a means of differentia-ting those
who are inherently courteous and
considerate from those who have
merely put on courtesy as a kind of
social veneer. Maybe this is a kind of
"auto-intoxication," instead of the
traditional liquor intoxication, that
brings to light the boor.
However, it is true that a real gentleman
will be a gentleman whether
in the drawing room or on the highway.
and those who would be regarded
as gentlemen will have to conform
their highway conduct to the same
standards they observe in the drawing
room.
Consideration of other people is a
primary factor in promoting safety
on the highways. "Old fashiofted
courtesy" if universally observed,
would do tvonders in reducing our
appalling accident and death rate,
and make motor touring a joy instead
of a jeopardy. But the question
is: how to get people to show the
traits of the real gentleman on the
highways as well as in places where
they feel the obligation to evidence,
courtesy and consideration for ot.hei
people ? - (Ireonville News.
