Two oil tanks are heiuK installed at llaiulet with a total capacity of approximately 20,000 gallons of fuel oil and they are to bo equipped with pumps so each of tho new locomotives can tako on about 3.600 gallons of fuel each day. The tanks at Hamlet and Wlldwood are being located In such manner that when the north and south Umtteds stop for other stution purposes such us watering cars, Inspection, etc., the locomotives can take on oil at the sumo lime. Each of the three units of three locomotives carries lloo gallons of training heating holler water and 1200 gallons of fuel oil. Ordinary fuel oil such as Is burned In a household oil burner la the type to bo used. With full supply of fuel, boiler water and sand, the total weight of the units of three locomotives Is approximately 900.000 pounds. Their total length Is 210 feet, height 13 feet. 11 inches above rail and 9 feet. 10 Inches In width. "The new Seaboard Diesels will be able to travel at lower speeds to maintain faster schedules; due to the ability of the Diesels to get up speed moro quickly, to the fact that It Is possible to stap more quickly and to tbu inoio evident fact that the Diesels only have to stop for fuel and water at Hamlet and Wild wood Their greater ability to maintain speed on grades is also a faster in eliminating the necessity of higher speeds on the straightaways Automatic oil-burning boilers located in each unit of the locomotive provide steam heat for both the locomotive and passenger cars. "For the first time ln tlie history of American transportation, due to the Seaboards most forward step, electric service Is provided between New York and Florida." WATER EE MILL NOTES Mrs. W. M.

N i\ t I u n u I guardsmen and members of Charleston county's Democratic executive i committee kept an around-the-clock' I guard today over votes oast in the I county yesterday in the fftmth Carolina Democratic runoff primary tor governor, which Mayor lluruet It Maybank apparently won. | Unofficial returns from 1,4116 of the 'state's 1,506 preclnts gave Maybank I 161,474 votes and his opponent, Wyndham M. Manning, of Humter, 147,774. New l>eal Issues were not involved In the primary. Governor Olin D. Johnston ordered a Charleston company of National Guardsmen to impound Charleston county bulloti Imm>cs last night- at the request of Manning, who said he had j received reports of irregularities. The boxes were taken to a small second floor room of the Hlbern'an hull, in downtown Charleston, where four squads of troops were loft to guard them throughout the night. Captain Kegnar K. Johnson, commanding the soldiers, reduced tho ! guard today to two squads. lie said the troops would remain on guard In eight-hour shifts until further orders. Members of the Charleston county' Democratic executive committee Joined the guardsmen and kept a constant vigil lp four-man, eight-hour shifts. Maybank answered Manning's call, for troops with the charge that "evitently in sonic- desperate hope that defeat might be avoided in some *vtrt*ordlnary manner, Mr. Manning appealed for the aid ot oayonets. The sheriff here was not consulted, nor any other duly constituted civiiia i authorities." "The victory is mine," Mavbank said. "It was won honestly and square-J lly and the people of South Carolina : may rest assured that the election | will not be stolen from me, that the i majority they gave me wiil stand." Manning made a brief public state| ment. He said: I "The result of the election is unI known to me at this time. 1 have protested the vote in Charleston county upon reports of irregularities there. I ask the public to await the result of this protest." Shortly af^er the troops impounded the ballot boxes, Sergeant William Michel of the Sumter guard detachment was placed under temporary military arrest pending an inquiry into the shooting of W. L. Holliday, a bystander. Captain R. E. Johnson said that Michel's service pistol discharged accidentally, sending a bullet through Holllday's thigh. Wendell E. Acker-) man. of Meggett, also nearby, was struck by splinters. Throughout the campaign Manning charged that Maybank headed a powerful political machine in Charleston land that the^ mayor sought to inject 1 what he termed "machine politics" in j the state government. Maybank made a blanket denial of the charges, pointed to his chairmanj ship of the state agency in charge of ;the PWA-flnanced $37,500,000 Santee| Cooper power and navigation project, j he promised to give the state a "busi-! ; ness-liko administration." The unofficial returns also showed i that two members of congress were defeated. In the Third district, Rep. John C. Taylor conceded defeat to i I ; lintler B. Hare, of Saluda, a former (representative. Rep. G. Hey ward Ma; lion traii'-d Joseph R. Bryson, Green! vllle lawyer, with all but three prej? inots reported. The vote stood: Bry; son 35.524 ; Mahon. 2"s.S1 . Complete unofficial returns from the ; Sixth district gave the nomination to lohn L. 'McMillan, of Florence, for fourteen years secretary to the late Rep. A H Gasque. He defeated G Floyd Ford, of Conway, a former cir uit solicitor, by a vote of 27,to 25,041 Midway Four-H Club Met Th*- first rm?rrnr of The High School Midway l-H club was held at the school house Wednesday.

ALVA RUSH. Chief of Police. City of Camden. Gathers Most Of Crop By September 7 What i> probably a record for this section of South Carolina for the early maturity of cotton, was made by J. T. Dennis, a prominent farmer of the Pisgah Cross Roads section, at the intersection of Kershaw, Lee and Sumter counties, eleven miles southeast of Camden, who gathered by September 7, twenty-one bales of cotton from a twenty-five acre tract. He left two bales of unpicked cotton in the fields. Mr. Dennis estimates that he will make at least a bale to the acre from this tract or possibly a little better than a bale. It is doubtful if any farmer of this section has ever gathered over ninety per cent of his crop by September 7, on land that will produce a bale to the acre. The land near Pisgah varies from the finest type of cotton land to tho ordinary sandhill type, and most of the farmers there are very progressive, not only raising fine cotton and corn, but some unusually fine pigs are raised there, also. One farmer there has four mules that cost $2,000.00 cash, and are said to be as fine as any in South Carolina. James A. Farley, in a speech at Waterviile, called upon the state of Maine to go Democratic on September 12, and thus "get In step with the rest of the United States." Two big aircraft plants are to be established in Canada by the British government to build aircraft, including bombers for the British army and navy.
