Columbia, Sept. 6.—When Carroll Gaaque, Jr.'s, Capital City Kid turn ed turtle, towing him into the clear waters of Lake Murray in the first race of the Legion drum and bugle corps regatta yesterday afternoon it appeared that South Carolina’s hopes in the outboard contests were lo>t. Lloyd A. Plexico, of Barnwell, saved the day, however, when he steered his Old Rockin’ Chair, the only other Palmetto entry, to first place in all three heats to capture first place in the Class C race.

About 1,500 spectators saw th^ events and they seemed well pleased with the program, which included stunts, outboard races and runabout exhibitions. Nine boats took part in the two races. , Young Casque got off to a poor start with his famous Capital City Kid, victor in many outboard races throughout the Southeast, in the opening race, the Cla^s C event. Plexico pulled out in front of him and led the field on the first lap and Casque passed him rounding the western buoy. As the young Columbian straight ened out after making the curve, his craft fell into a swell and pitched sidewise. Casque righted it, but it leaped out of^the water and wheeled over. Plexico took the lead from then on and held it in every heat until the race ended. B. Mahoney, of Orlando, Fla., driving Have-a-Tampa F-38, was second; Mike Murray, of Asheville. N.

Washington.—Antioch, which has yielded many rich treasures of an tiquity, again is the scene of explora tions which recently uncovered a pic ture gallery in the form of a paneled mosaic floor. . "Modern Antioch, a drab city of 30,- 000 inhabitants, lying about 15 miles up the Orontes river from the Medi terranean, is a mere shadow of^the gay city that once was the capital of the great empire of Seleucus Nlcator, favorite of Alexander the Great, and later capital of the Uomun empire In the Orient,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. “Traditionally. Antioch owes its lo cation to the flight of an eagle. An- tlgonia. built in 307 B. C., a few miles north of Antioch, was planned -to be the fountainhead of government, com merce and industry in the Near East While Seleucus was offering sacrifices at an altar in the city, an eagle swooped down, caught a piece of meat from the altar, and flew to the banks of the-Orontes river. Seleucus Inter preted the eagle’s act as an omen that the gods wished him to found a capi tal on the river. "The outstanding feature of the new city was the four-mile main street that connected the east and west gates. On each side rose double rows of lofty marble columns between which Ben llur drove Ids chariot and Caesar pa raded in triumph. Flanking the street was a marble-paved, covered prom enade adorned with statues and carv ings in marble and bronze. Beyond the promenades rose the handsome facades of government buildings. "At night the main street was a great white way. Despite its gayety, however, Antioch’s path was often strewn with sorrow. Its walls were frequently pounded by jealous en emies. While the columned highways, walls, gates and handsome buildings are memories, a large part of the mod ern city is built of the stones that once witnessed the processions and chariot races of ‘Antioch, the Glorious.’ “Antioch has been succeeded com mercially by Aleppo. Today its larg est industries are shoe and soap mak ing and hide tanning.” Auto Drivers Can Save Game by Flicking Lights Washington.—The motorists who runs down a wild animal or bird on the highwuv may not realize that he ML-s Jewel Woodward is visiting her uncle.

With game commissions and sports men striving in numerous ways to^ave and restore wild game for its tremen dous recreational and economic value, many states have launched education al campaigns during the tourist sea son to reduce game mortality due to thoughtless driving.

To the Voters of / Barnwell County:-- * Since announcing my candidacy for the office of Sheriff of Barnwell County, various rumors an|i mis statements have been circulated against me. Among them are the following; Ak t T T t Y f T Y Y Y Y Y / 1. That if elected I will immediately sell every body’s property against which tax executions have been issued. I MOST EMPHATICALLY DENY ANY SUCH STATEMENT. On the contrary, I propose to handle this part of the Sheriff’s office in a sympathetic, business like manner, protecting the interests of Barnwell County without working any undue hardship on anybody, and do not intend to force the collection of delinquent taxes without first giving the people every reasonable oppor tunity to pay them. 2. That I have made certain deals in reference to the employment of a deputy sheriff and a tax collector. I have absolutely made no such deal and the selection of these two officers will not be made until after I have been elected. Any statements to the contrary are abso lutely false.

His SI a day went for magazines and knick-knacks. Nqw the Bridgin family, who got the house, has kept the final clause of the contract—they have given the old man a decent burial. Von Kff upset a kerosene lamp and burned to death. I ask my friends and supporters to pay fro atten- tion whatever to false rumors that may be circulated between now and the election next Tuesday. I am mak ing my campaign for the office of Sheriff on my own merits and offer the people of Barnwell County the benefit of my years of business experience in solving some of their present difficulties. If elected I pledge the voters of the county that I will conduct the affairs of the office in a fair, impartial, economical and fearless - planner. % ■ YOUR SUPPORT NEXT TUESDAY WILL BE “Deep” people limy sitPu h ton much importance to their emotions and those of others.
