Nazarro, Haupt, Szisz, Fournier and Others Direct the Most Powerful Machines of Europe and America in Four Hundred Mile Flight—Foreign ers From Many Lands Witness Race on Specially Constructed Course Po liced by State Militia. Savannah. CJa., Nov. ‘JG.—"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six. live, four, three, two —go!" jelled the starter into the ear of the first driver to brins his car up to the mark for the start of the in ternational race for the Grand Prize of the Automobile Club of America With a roar from an un muffled 12G horsepower engine and a three foot spurt of flame from an exhaust the greatest race in the history of auto- mobiling was on A tremendous contest waged for the $5,000 gold cup. The entrants are the most experienced and daring of the world's auto drivers, assisted by the most skillful mechanicians, driv ing the most powerful and speediest ears on earth. America, Italy, France and Germany sent their best men and eats here, and the winners will be hailed as world's champions. Accidents during the preliminary tests of the racing cars have shown that even the splendid course, espe cially constructed for the race, is not ftee from the possibility of serious accidents. In justice to the course, however, it should be said that all of the accidents that have occurred have been due to faults in the machines rather than in the road. From all over the world automobile racing enthusiasts gathered here to see the race and the light car race which preceded. For weeks little else has been talked of in the automobile world, in the grand stand and lin ing the course were seen groups of men and women of many nationalities diecussing the chances of their favor ites in languages that tell of thous ands otf miles of travel for the purpose of witnessing the automobile Derby. The big race was over a course twenty-five miles in length, sixteen laps, or 400 miles, constituting the total distance of the race. The course is a perfectly level one, banked on the tarns. It was built by convict labor. It is surfaced with Augusta gravel, a construction that admits of very high speed. The course for the race was care fully guarded by state militia. That this la the only practical method ol guarding an automobile race has been demonstrated. Last spring when there was an automobile race in Sa vannah the course was guarded per fectly by the same body of men. ami there was not the least trouble or in convenience in handling the big crowds. 200 Perish at Sea. Val“iia, Island of Malta, Nov. 20.— Ne:irl> two hundred persons, passen gers and crew of the Ellerman line steamer Sardinia, are,believed to have dished yesterday when the steamer a as destroyed by lire just after she tad sailed for Alexandria, Egypt. The Sardinia was scarcely a milf off Grand Harbor when fire appeared with strong wind to fan the flames the whole ship was soon ablaze and thi passengers and crew had scarcely ;• chance for their lives. There was a wild scene of panic a* flames drove the passengers to the rails, and many of the excited ones not even waiting for the bouts to be lowered, plunged into the sea. Scores are believed to have been drowned Others trapped by the fire, were liter ally roasted to death or smothered without a chance for life. Many crafts in the harbor several tugs and other swift, small vessels rushed to the assistance of the imper iled liner. The high sea and half a gale, which prevailed at the time, how ever, made it impossible for them even to approach the Sardinia, and thay could do little in the way of aid. The Sardinia left Liverpool Novem her 14 with a cargo of general mer chandise for Mediterranean ports. Her crew nambeied 44 and about 20 first, class and s : x second class pas- •engers e'u'iar! ed at Liverpool. Most of h« r other 200 passengers undoubtedly vein* Levatines, Maltese and Egyptians. Up to G o’clock yesterday afternoon, 50 bodies from the Sardinia had been brought ashore. Sherman. Vice-Prfsicient Elect, to Win ter in Augcsta. Augusta. Ga..

C C HEALS •.d.d.0LD SOSES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if t iis were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impur ties in the blood may he the remains of some constitutional trouble, tin effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may he hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down trt posterity : but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very’ best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease—the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation. and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poisou-produciug germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Thee as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

S. to any whotra in need of a blood purifier.'and especially aa a remedy for sores and obstinate u'cers. In 1.877 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. ^ great sore formed and for years no one ko««* what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, butl got no relief and I thought 1 would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on ray leg. At last I began the use of S. S S., and it was but a short time until f saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my Mood and made a complete and permanent cure of the sore. JMO.

Infantile eczema, which has baffled the skill of the best physicians for so many years at last seems to be curable—and curable with great ease. Results of the last two years indi cate conclusively that baby’s itch, infantile eczema and other skin dis eases of children can be very simply cured by the application of a com pound composed of oil of wintergreen, thymol and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescription. The Rev. Lewis Steeley, of Weath erly, Pa., writes: “Our baby boy’s little face was s'* dreadfully covered with eczema that blood and water ran from the sores nearly all the time. After using 3 1-2 bottles of D. D. D. Prescription we are so happy to tell you he Is entire ly cured and the disease has never broken out again. If this letter is in any way a help to other sufferers, you may publish it.” If you have a child which is suf fering with this terrible itch, we are sure you will not neglect one hour to give your baby the right kind of relief. We have seen too often how quickly ‘the remedy mentioned above takes the itch away at once and how all the cures seem to be perma nent; we have seen this too often to hesitate at all in recommending the remedy for your children.
