I TEN DAY8 VACATION IN FLORIDA
AND CUBA
(First Day)
I There ain't going to be any thing
I wonderful to find out about our trip
I to Cuba. Ix>ts of folk* make longer
I and shorter vialta to Cuba and elpe*
I where avery day and aay nothing at
lull about them: but a fellow who
I writes a daily column haa to have
I something to talk about occasionally,
I .so here's what took place.
I .. Ah Htuted in a previous piece, our
I family consists of 6 persons, includling
me, the wife, and the rest of the
household. We got comfortably packI
into the car about noon Wednes
day, but it wouldn't have mattered
if it had been Thursday. We could
I have all gotten packed In just as well.
..After the first 200 miles, I found
out what my duties would be during
the to days of travel and sight-seeing
ahead of us, vis: First, keeping the
radio in the car tuned on something
l didn't like to hear; Beyond, paying
all of the bills, and Third, helping to
tote the heaviest pieces of baggage
into and out of the hotels and ship yards.
i ? ;
..Nothing of much iuterest took place
the first day . . . except a filling stallion
teuder worked a miracle on our
gasoline tank. It already had 7 gal
Ions of gus in it, and its full capacity
lis 14 gallons but danged if he didn't
succeed in pumping 16 more gallons
into it. We were afraid at first that
lie had ruined the container, but it
turned out that it was only u 60-dolllar
bill that he had ruint.

I. .We spent the first night at a* mighty
nice hotel. Aftfr taking the kids and
others to a picture show (we had al ready
seen twice back home) for 35
tents, an overcharge of 25 cents, we
ret in ned Via a hotdog stand and ate
?; hamburgers, 3 ice-creams, 2 packs
lof chewing gum and drank enough
of pop to keep one of us awake till
after mid-night.
..As we had a 500-mile drive ahead
of us the next morning, we put in a
all for 0:30. When the guy down stair
at the desk picked up his phone
to t>!l us to get up, we were stand
uu right at his elbow with our pock elbook
open, ready to pay him $10,
or those two $6 rooms. We weren't
Hiking any chances W over-sleeping,
so- 2 or 3 of us-stayed awake all
TEN DAYS VACATION IN FLORIDA
AND CUBA
(Second Day)
..Our second day away from home
was uneventful except as relates to
my blood pressure. The driver of
our car is very expert in many ways,
lie can come nearer making a fellow
think he's going to run over or under
he car just ahead of him than any
person I ever saw. He occasionally
slowed down to 65 m. p. h. That
elped my blood a right smart.
.After driving for about 2 hours, we
topped at a tea-room for breakfast,
>uly 2 of the party drinks tea; but
bey had coffee for the others. We
^kot a nice egg and a fine looking piece
>f breakfast bacon and ja thimble
til! of jelly and two pieces of toast
or only 60 cents. We enjoyed the
veal very much though and were
out rfui glad that: we were not huu i'.v.
They had orange juice on the
u'nu. but it was 15 cents, so we
rank water.
\\?- drove about 200 miles further
"i gassed up again, but we caution >
the filling station man about strain ^
our tank, so we helped* him meas iv

At the next stop, we took off our
ercoats and fur coats (Yep, we car ^0
them along to show those pam achers
and Coral Qablers that we
*iv the stuff). A little further down

garments from various and sundry
fts of our anatomy. By the time

mined for Gym. It was good Old

Quartet Await
Swindle Trial
(-hillleHtou, Juu. 25.-|Four men are
scheduled to ko ou trial in federal
court here tomorrow on u charge of
swindling Frederick C. Tuttle, retired
Cincinnati business man, of $30,000
by a fake horse race bettlug scheme.
Late today, it appeared, however,
that start of the case might be delayed
because of the llluess of Marshal
YVUliapi F. Burguson. liurguuon
became ill after going to New York
to bring two of the accused quartet
back here for trial, and it was not
known here when he would get back.
The defendants are: Charles E.
Robinson, an Englishman whose wife
i was a central figure In a famous extortlou
trial luvolviug an East Indian
potentate ten years ago; Arthur Hap
penie, Frank C. Davis and Samuel
Allen. Numerous aliases were given
all of them in the indictments.
'1 uttle said Robinson posed as 81r
Mark Jeukinson, a vice president of
Vickers, Lid., the Great Brltalu aroiaI
ment firm. In this role, he convinced
the Cincinnati man, formerly vice
presldeut aud treasurer of the Peters
Cartridge company, that Vickers
planned to establish a branch in the
! United States, the complaint alleged.
Happenle and Davis were represent*
ed as associates of Jenkiuson, Tuttle
said, and the four held numerous conferences
here and elsewhere regarding
the projected branch of Vickers.
As government officials outlined it,
the alleged swindle worked as follows:
Allen joined the group at a dinner
table in a hotel here last summer.
One of his alleged accomplices picked
up a purse from the floor, and Allen
claimed it. To show his gratitude,
he explained that he had contact with
a big race betting syndicate, and
would place bets for Tuttle and the
others of the party.
A huge paper profit was shown In
the ensuing operations, but Allen told
the others that the syndicate would
not pay off unless the supposed winners
would deposit $400,000 in escrow
to show that tliey could have paid
off if they had lost.
Robinson agreed to put up $270,000
one of the others $100,000 and Tuttle
consented to post $30,000. He went
to his home in Cincinnati and returned
with the money. He was
shown what purported to be more I
than $500,000 in currency, and it was
supposely placed in a bank pending
collection of the group's winnings.
The four defendants disappeared,
.and Tuttle took his case to federal
authorities.
Robinson is held in $25,000 bond on
the swindling charge, and also in $2,-1
500 bond on an immigration warrent
charging that he overstayed his visitor's
permit in this country.

On January 17, our dearly, beloved

its members. During the past two
years he has labored faithfully and

and advice and he was always ready,
willing and capable of assisting.. He
won the respect, high esteem atiflP
deep love of all who were thrown
with him, a rare character, entertaining
and lovable In the extreme. We
thank God for lending us such a faithful,
consecrated Servant of His for a
few years. Therefore in loving appreciation
of his sacrificial services
for us we wish to offer the following
resolutions:
First, that we make known anew to
Rev. and Mrs. Gulledge the high estdern
in which they are held by both
the church and community, and tho
keen regret we feel in accepting his
resignation.
Second, that in giving up Rev. Gulledge
we feel that we are losing one
who haB labored earnestly, prayerfully
and well for the building up of
God's Kingdom In our midst.
Third, that we commend him most
heartily for the Chrlst-llke wuy in
which he has labored among ua, and
for tho beautiful, unselfish services
which ho has rendered.
Fourth, that his humble and Chrlatllke
llfo will inspire us to hlghor
pluiiiH of Christian living.
Fifth, that a ^>py of these resolutions
be spread on the minutes of the
church, ono copy be sent to Hev. Gulledge
and one copy to the Camden
Chronicle and the liaptlst Courier for
publication.
Rospectfully submitted by the following
