"Rock of the Marne"
Dies At Great Age
Portland, Ore., Sept. 19.?Major
General Ulysses Grant McAlexander,
known an "The Rock of the Marne,"
died here Friday.
The retired major general, who waa
72, died unexpectedly at his home in
the Portland Heights Apartments.
* He earned the name of "Rock of
the Marjie," when his forces withstood
terrific assaults of German
troops in July, 1918.

Washington, D. C., survives.
In 1934 McAlexander unsuccessfully
sought the Republican nomination as
governor of Oregon. He had led a
quiet life since then, making infrequent
public appearances as a speaker.
President Roosevelt revealed at a
press conference that he was thinking
of making a campaign trip tov the
West coast, but he had not yet reached
a decision. He said, however, that
regardless of the election outcome, he
was going to try, after November 3,
to get on a boat somewhere and take
a ten days or two weeks holiday

Oldest, Presiding
Judge is On Bench j
Judge Sbipp of Florence, the old,
eat presiding judge in point of service
on the bench in South Carolina
is presiding at the term of court
j which convened here this morning
says the Lancaster News of Tuesday.
The Florence Jurist has been on the
bench for 29 years, one year longer
than Judge Sease of 8partanburg.
During his long tenure on the
bench Judge Shipp has tried some
sensational cases. Twice he sentenced
Edmund Digham to the electric
chair and the case was before him to
entertain motions on several occasions
although he never actually presided
during any of the trials in
which a Jury heard the evidence. At
that time it was necessary to resentence
a convicted man after he had
appealed to the supreme court but
the law has now changed so that the
resentencing is not necessary.
Judge Shipp served on the bench
at the same time as the late Judge
Ernest Moore, of Lancaster, and the
Florence Judge was an intimate personal
friend of Judge Moore.
During his long tenure on the bench
Judge Shipp has been to Lancaster on
several . former occasions and is
known to many Lancastrians who
greeted him Monday morning.
Payrolls Gain at
Service Stations
Employment increased 21.8 per cent
and payrolls 29.4 per cent at 11,788
gasoline service stations operated in
Ave states during the past two years,
it is indicated by preliminary reports
of the census of., retail business for
1936. The reports show that the gain _
in service station employment was
two and one-half times as great as
the 8.2 per cent rise in employment of
all retail stores.
While 20,910 full-time and parttime
workers found employment in
the 11,788 service stations of Alabama.
Maine, Montana, South Caro-1
Una and Washington last year, and
shared a payroll amounting to, $7,889,000,
other data contained-in the
reports show that much of their time
was spent in collecting federal and
state taxes.
For every $100 gross business done
by the stations, $46 was collected in
taxes. Total business at the stations
amounted to $106,203,000. Taxes totalled
$48,666,000. Included were $39,828,000
in state gasoline taxes and
$8,827,000 In federal levies on motor
fuels and lubricants. On an average,
each station collected $4,190 in taxes,
or about $2,327 per WflgMpr.
So far as the dollafn^wume of sales ,
was concerned, it waa found that the (
service station ran far behind the av- |
erage retail store. The volume waa ,
only about one-haff as great, averag- ,
ing $9,020 worth, of merchandise.!
chiefly gasoline and oil, as compared '
with the $18,098 gross business of the'
average retail store.

Flares To Mark
Accident Scenes
Adding to the safety of after-dark
highway traffic, red sulphur flares in
the future will mark the scene of4 accidents
being Investigated by state
highway patrolmen.
At patrol headquarters in the state
offices building, the fuses were tried
out last night and found to cast a
brilliant red light that patrolmen estimated
might be seen for as far ahead
as a mile on straight level ground.
In the near future patrolmen will
be equipped with a number of flares
the larger size of which will,' burn for
20 minutes, the smaller for ten. One
flare will be planted at each end of
the scene of the accidents to protect
night-traveling motorists approaching
the spot from either direction.
The entire flare is a compact, sticklike
affair. No match is necessary as
the flare is ignited by striking , its
fuse against a rough, sandpaper-like
surface on the end of the detachable
cap of the "stick". Once the flare is
started, rain, will have no effect on it.
Patrol officials said that motorists
traveling at night and approaching
these^flares, would do well to slow
dowji/and investigate. ~
Many states already have laws that
requires all trucks of any size to carry
flares and display them In case of accident
or. need of having to stop on
the highway.?Wednesday's State.

Beware of Dictator j
Advises Georgians
r i
(Wednesday's Columbia State)
Governor-nominate E. D. Rivers of
Georgia, whose recent nomination
featured the downfall of Talmadge
forces, told guests at a banquet given
in his honor here last night that
"Georgians who depended on the red
suspenders have lost their britches." i
The banquet, climaxing a day, of
political meetings featured by the
presence of the Geoxgia nominee, was
tendered in his honor at the Jeffer-j
son hotel by the Georgia Society of
Columbia. Approximately 200 people1
attended.
In a brief talk in which he expressed
his appreciation for honors done ]
him here, Rivers declared that the
Talmadge dictatorship in Georgia was
only a "temporary" dictatorship and
that the people of the state, realising
its existence, had been eager to repudiate
it.
The over-throw of the so-called die-'
tatorship was a theme which ran
through all talks at the banquet. One
speaker, Roy Harris of Augusta, Qa.,i
introduced as the next speaker of the
Georgia house of representatives,"
drew a lesson for South Carolina from
Georgia's experience. ? ;
He urged the people of the state, in
the face 6f increasing tendencies toward
dictatorships, to take dnustic
action at the first hint of one in
South Carolina
"When you see soldiers walking
the streets with guns and bayonets,
keeping people from exercising what
they believe to be their rights, you'
had Ifetterlook out right now?stomp
down on the dictator," Harris declared.
L. E. Sullivan, publisher of the
Athens, Ga., Times, spoke briefly, describing
the part Rivers had played
in "restoring constitutional government
in Georgia."
Other speakers included Mrs. Olin
D. Johnston, wife of the governor;
Roy A. Powell, Governor Johnston's
secretary; Dr. J. Rion McKissick,
president of the University of South
Carolina; Robert M. Cooper, chair*
man of the Democratic rally here yeaj

mitteewoman, and others wore introduced.
