I 11 Washington, Nov. 27--'Announcement is made today by Southern Hailway System of the purchase of four Diesel-electric streamlined passenger locomotives of 4.000 horsepower each, for use on "The Crescent", Southern Hallway tvaina Noa. 87 and 38, between Washington and Atlanta, and on the "Ponce do Leon", trains Noa, l and 2, between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. The two locomotives for "The Crescent" have been ordered from Mlectro-Motivo Corporation, and the two for the "Ponce do Loon" from the American Locomotive Company, Delivery of the engines ia expected uround the first of January. Bach locomotive will consist of two 2,000 h. p. units couplod together, and the motive power in each unit consists. of two 1,000 h. p. power plants consisting of Diesel engine and e,lectrlc generator. Bach unit is provided with four traction motors mounted on the trucks, making a total of eight motors furnishing the tractive power for each 4,000 h. p. locomotive. The locomotives have a nominal weight of 300 tons, have a starting tractive effort of 100,000 pounds and can be operated at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. This equipment will have the most modern fixtures and appliances, Including electric (pneumatic brake equipment for operation with speed governors, Insuring the smoothest braking aotion possible, and will be equipped with automatic train control. In addition to regulation headlights, each lead locomotive will be provided with a Mars figure-eight, oscillating signal light for road crossing warning. "The Crescent" is one of the most popular all-Pullman trains in the country and has been in service between New York and New Orleans, first as the "New York and New Orleans Limited" and later as Nos. 37 and 38, foi' more than a half a century, while the Ponce de Leon has operated all-year round between Cincinnati and Jacksonville almost as long. When the powerful and speedy Diesel locomotives are placed In service, it is anticipated that - the schedules of ! these trains will be speeded up, thus i shortening the running time between Washington and Atlanta and between , Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Atlanta and I Jacksonville. These locomotives will be delivered and in service early in January, acj cording to the announcement. German Stuka dive-bombers sank '87,000 tons of ships in a .strongly guarded Brtish convoy southeast of Harwich Monday, according to DNB, official news agency. Authorized German quarters confirmed the agency's report and added that an enemy freighter of 2,600 to 3,000 tons was bombed and sunk about 280 miles west of Iraland. FORD VISIONS US IN ROUE OF "BIG BROTHER' New York, Nov. 20. dlenry Ford aye ho bcltevos tho Un.lted Slates aoon will take "Ita rightful place" iu the world us a "big brother" able to "bung together tbe heads of ,?ny powers that would stir up war." "Hut make no mistake about this", ho added In au article in the December issue of Scribnor'a commentator, "we.are not uuw in Lint poalLiun wh? li we can adopt thai 'big brother' attitude toward anybody and until and unless wo are, we should NOT meddle In the affairs of other jpeople." As an aid to building up tho nation's strength for the "big brother" role, (he automobile manufacturer suggested $5 a day should bo pold overy young ngm taken from a good job for compulsory military training "Where will the money come from to pay that sum?" he was asked "It should come out of the mllMons of dollars that will yet be squandered upon politics before we manage to force that outmoded philsophy into the scrap heap .... The horse has virtually disappeared; the cow Is next, and politics will follow." Twelve Bulldogs Bid 'Bye To Zemp Field (Continued from first pago) bad. Pickett, unable to kick, attempted to run the ball Lnto the end zone, but was pulled down before he reached the promised land. Tho second quarter did not produce any scoring. Camden's defense had the visitors baffled. Toward the close of tho period Camden took to the air and staged a couple of aerial thrusts that were beautiful to see. The first, Mullen to Mt?Caaklll netted 15 yards and a second Mullen to Sowell waB sqgdv/or ten yards. Several other heaves by Mullen, right into the hands of his receivers, were perfect at the firing end but the lads at the other end failed to hold the ball. In the third period, Charleston began' to show its power and the march down tbe field began. But The Bulldogs finally held on the 15, where after several efforts to advance tho ball the necessary yardage had failed, they had to kick and again the invaders when Umpire Craft penalized Camden fifteen yards, it put the Bulldogs right on the 5 yard line and from that point Charleston pounded over into pay dirt, Comports going over for the touchdown. Pickett's kick, with Halsall holding, was good and the Visitors led 13 to 0. In the last quarter Charleston pounded a fast-weakening Bulldog line arid reached tho pay station area again, Coleman going over for the third touchdown. Tho kick for tho e*tra point was wide. Kyery member of the -Camden team played his heart out. C. Sheorn and Sowell, playing the best game of their career with the Cold and Black hhd to be taken from the game because of injuries, Bill Mullen played the entire game and was buffeted by the giants of the opposition In every scrimmage. McCaskill, Merrill, Lamoy, Stein, Bolneau, In fact, every lad in the Bulldog uniforms played a game that won the admiration of the fans. Between halves Camden's own band marched and played and was followed by the fast-stepping Lancaster group with a patriotic number featuring a display of fire works. And so the moleskins, even tho they be silk, go Into the bag with tho moth balls for another nine months. And come next September another squad will return from the North Carolina camp to go into training under the eye of John Villepigue and the 1941 Bulldog machine will be In the making. , I, The 1940 Bulldog machine did | establish onp record and that was in attendance. The Sumter-Camden game attracted the largest crowd to ever witness a game in Camden and one of the largest to witness a high school game in the state. And so its good-bye fellows until next fall. It's been swell watching your games and In pouring out the build-up releases and game coverage. Unconfirmed reports are circulating In Italian court circles that French monarchists are working for restoration of the monarchy in Prance and J seeking Adolf Hitler's consent therefor. ^ Vegetable Laxative Has Important Points Host people want a laxative to do three things: (1) act punctually, (2) act thoroughly, (8) act gently. . Here's one that usually fills all three requirements when the easy directions are followed. It's an all- . vegetable product whose principal ingredient has medical recognition as ap '"'intestinal tonic-laxative." That's the Ingredient which enables BLACK-DRAUGHT to help tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the main reason for the satisfying relief from constipation that generally follows next morning when BLACK-DRAUGHT is taken at bedtime. The millions of packages used are proof of its merit* |france groans under heel of conqueror thq follow Iuk letter was received recently from a resldeyt of Southern (unoccupied) France. It throws light on the wit nation of the French people uinter Gorman rule. October 5, 11*40 It was a delight to got your letter of September 4th uncensorcd. for we learned front It many thlnga we were kept ignorant of. It la with the utmoat pleasure that wo heard from you all that America doea In behalf of Knglund. Heat assured that It will have great repercussions in France. 1 am ho unhappy becauae 1 cannot write you what I would like to tell with this horrid nightmare weighing down on us. All that la happening la far from brilliant for France, it In not surprising since the government of Vichy la' tied hand and foot ami must say?or rather the Germans say, it for them?only what la favorable to Germany. It la fortunate that our radio works well and that the English broadcast gives us Information. They (the Germans) cannot silence it and they cannot prevent us all from listening 1 am Indignant at the lies "they" tell America about us. For Instance you mention that your papers, even the New York Times, published stories concerning manifestations against Jews in southorn cities, among them In Toulouse and In Pau. We never saw or heard of any such things happen In these cities and your father goes down-town every day. Even M.. the traffic policeman, we know, never noticed anything. Those are false and deliberate lies Blnce everybody keeps very quiet here. There are many Jews here, as refugees. People pity them, I assure you. i The population grumbles and curses but no one dares do It openly or too loudly either, because our city and vicinity are full of Germans. We do not see any In our street, but I have seien them walking downtown with their habitual airs of scornful superiority. They do not spare us the humiliation of showing they are the victors. The victors of the moment perhaps, but let them wait until our time comes . . . Some people mumble a curse at them in a low voice, but that is all we can do. Our airport Is occupied by the Germans. Yesterday I learned that an English plane visited our city. Ho flew over our airport and dropped some leaflets. Among other things the Germans were warned that If they do not clear out themselves the English planes will come aftaln to bombard our airport. Fortunately, we are rather far from it and the Knglish are good shots, their bombs usually fall where they ulm. The public hero is nervous and irritated at the prospect that the Germans will soon oooupy Franco com* pletoly and thoroughly. The rumors are that this must be another one of the still unknown terms of the Petuin armistice. You know that we are forbidden communications between the occupied and unoccupied zones and this is done by supposedly civilized people in the twentieth century. We have tibout 2,000.000 prisoners of war interned in France or in Germany. Many families are without news from them since June. You can understand their agony. It is a great blessing to us that we can still hear from you. 1 have received a letter from Margot (in Paris). I am afraid to tell how this letter came. Their sufferings and their everyday humiliations are so great that her father has lost some of his mental faculties since he cannot hear from his sons. At present everything is continuous* ly being requisitioned. For instanco 5,000 head of cattle I am told, have Just gone and In the south we are not large cattle-raisers, as you know. The wheat has been requisitioned before being thrashed. Thus Hitler will appease his peoplo by giving thorn our food. As for us, 360 grams of meat per week, 100 grams of cheese, 100 grams of oil or fat will not go very far for the greatest majority of people. Potatoes are lacking. It is forbidden to carry beans from the farm to our home. In addition to all thiB, we have very llttlo coal. - In 1019 when our armies of occupation were in Germany there were only small forces on stho loft bank of the Rhine, but now it is the main bulk of their armies that we have to feed and maintain. Yo,u know how many millions a day this means. In the free zone, they do not requisition directly from us. Our government does the^ Job for thorn. Since their demands are even greater than tho needs of their troops, their civilian population will get a chance to eat now. Thus Hitler will maintain a> high morale in tier many. Personally I believe that they are revengeful to tho point of making us suffer all the restrictions that Hitler Imposed on his slaves for many years in preparation for this war. Here we are Informed enough to know that Hitler need not be congratulated for his victories. They expected to be in Ixmdon a month ago! All those barbarians can do. is to bombard lamdon and its civilian population, but their boots have not yet sullied the soil of England. Why do they shout victory to us? Little by little, everybody regains confidence iu a victory of England, because of their magnificent resistance. What a relief, what a happluess It will bo to see thoso beasts out of France. May we live long enough for that day! ?8umter Daily Item. Horton-Evans Mrs. Delia Cook Horton of Kershaw and Heece A. Evans of Pageland were quietly married Wodnosday afternoon November 20v.
