The State. BATESBURG ENTERTAINS. THE SAVANNAH AUTO CLUB OCCUPANTS OF SIXTY TWO CARS EN ROUTE TO CHARLOTTE FROM SAVANNAH WERE GIVEN WELCOME. The Savannah Automobile Club sixty-two cars strong passed trough Batesburg on Wednesday at about twelve o'clock. When our p?bple here learned for ctrtain that the cars would arrive about the above mentioned time, Mr. T. B. Kernaghan, assisted by Messrs. L. D. Brabham, J. B. Holman, W. A. Cooner and others went to work to give them an infor? i I , ' r >. i Pt{ i c.i into the spirit of die eemertiinmcrt j w:'n a v:... .! \ith w' . g i.ar.J1 and loyal hearts offered their services in person, so it goes without saying that the visitors had a hearty welcome. The cars arrived on schedule time, and after the long hot run of some thirty miles from Aiken, were quite ready for the cool and refreshing drinks that awaited them, served too as they were by the ladies of Batesburg. Mr. L. D. Brabham went about four or five miles up the road in his car to meet the visitors and forewarn them of the welcome'.awaiting them. 7\/r_ rr i i 1 . i ? ivi.i x^cmagnan naa me roaci in front of his home watered to settle the dust and that together with the :ool shade afforded by the trees that meet over the road at that place made it an ideal spot for the eception of the ladies and gentleneH from the city of Savannah. Dr. E. C. Ridgell deli vered the iddress of welcome in a few but 1 rziy appropriate words, which was leartily responded to by Mr. Frank 3attey of Savannah and Mr. Harvey Cranger president of the Savannah \utomobile Club. After the exchange of a fewpleasantries and a little relaxation rom the fatigue of the trip the .vhole party were escorted through :hi stieets of Batesburg and on to Columbia with Mr. L. D. Brabham in his car as guide as far as Leesville. The visit we are satisfied was -nutually pleasant to all and the ony regret was that the stop was so >rief. I )0 GHOSTS HAUNT SWAMPS? No, Never. Its foolish to fear a ancied evil, when there are real and eadly perils to guard against in wamps and marshes, bayous, and . iwlands. These are the malaria srm9 that cause ague, chills and ;ver, weakness, aches in the bones nd mtrcles and may induce deadf typhoid. But Electric Bitters estroys and casts out these vicious ^ erms from the blood. "Three botes drove all the malaria from my ystem," wrote Wm. FretweM, ot -ucema, N.
