That is the valuation placed upon it by Gporge Fitzmaurice, noted pro ducer who directed her in “Rose of .the Golden West,” a romantic drama of California in the days of the 0ons. “In addition to her exceptional lability as an actress, Miss Astor is one of the few prominent actresses who have not bobbed their hair,” said Fitzmaurice. “Try a s they will, wigmakers canndt duplicate long hair naturally and if the bobbed hair style continues Miss Astor’s beauti ful long hair will be an increasingly yaluabjp asset because of its rarity.” Mary Astor plays the role of an English-Spanish girl in this First National Pictures’ version- in Bess Meredyth’s story coming to the Dixie Theatre, Friday and Saturday.

Jeffords, sup erintendent, B. G. Paige, travel nr auditor, D. H. Crenshaw, freight claim agent, and Ernest Williams cupcrlntei.dcnt, all of the C. & W. C. railway. A feature of the • meeting here Monday was the address of L. S. Jeffords, superintendent of the C. & WL C. railway in which he vo'ced optimism as to the future of this section and in paJt he spoke as fol lows : “The Charleston and Western Car olina Railway company is happy to participate in the great work that Clemson College is undertaking, and that you are invited to visit and judge:—It is significant, I think, and rather fitting to mention that the C. & W. C. Railway and Clemson Col lege have much, in common. Both are South Carolina products. The cit zanship c£ every county in our great state is permeated with Clem son graduates and the doctrines and teachings of that great home insti tution are being spread over the state. Lika Clemsors the C. & W. C. railroad is a South Carolina institu tion. All but 20 mTes. of its road is located in South Carolina and it traverses tho state from the foot hills cf the Blue Ridge to the sea shore. Clemson College and the C. & W|. C. railway both strive to serve the pv'oplc of the state to the best of their ability, each in its own pecu liar way. “Primarily, the business and duty of a railroad is that of a transpor tation carrier, but the C. & W. C. as well as other railroads in the state, are vitally interested in the welfare and prosperity df the section it serves. Obviously the success of one depends upon the success of the oth er.. Your railroad has in company with its patrons felt the results of the continued crop failures of the past few years. It has suffered in the resultant loss of business. “It has found it necessary to take stock and put itself on an econom ic basis in order to survive. In ad dition to loss of business, account of crop failures^ the C. & W. C. railway has suffered greatly due to heavy inroads of the auto Vehicle, both passenger and freight. It might in terest you to know that during the year 1920 the C. & W. C. handled 1,000,000 passengers. We handled during the year 1927 approximately lOQfOOO passengers and anticipate handling during 1928 something like 150.000. “L’kcw sc <"ur less than carload freght bu-iness has been taken away by the privaViy owned trucks and licensed truck freight handlers. We recogniz' 1 , however*, that the pub- !'c has a right rot only to choose but t demand certain service and it is n.t our parpen to complain. It takes a ver- brave man to pro phesy what will happen in th: ra’l- road game in the next few years. Local condit one on y~ur railroad are changing rapidly. The advert o' good roads with the aut •’ vehiclr' has revolution zed cu/ whole transporta tion structure. All however, that we ask is that our auto competitors be regulated and put on the same healthy and fair competitive basis that we are and wc w.ll be content to let it be a qusst’eni of the sur vival of the fitte t. “Frarkly, the C. & W*. C. faces the futut' with the utmost confid ence. It bel eve - ', in the ultimate de velopment oi 4 the section it serves and resultant prosperity of its pat rons. ' As evidencing that, ycur ra 1 'oad has spent ’n the last four years nearly two million dollars in improvements alcnc. This has con sisted of heavier rails, strengthening of st'io] bridges, elimination of wood en trestles, increased pass track facil tieP new and larger motive power and higher standard of equip ment. All of this has been done to more ccoromicully and sat.bsfactcb- ily handle business offered. Only recently in conjunction with our connections new schedules have been inaugurated providing for third morn'ng delivery from Chicago and Detroit to McCormick and fourth morning delivery from Chicago to Jacksonville, Fla. In the opposite fiVctic.r we offer a fast perishable schedule from Florida and other Southeastern points to the North west.” “Just here, my friends. I want to say a few words about the person- u 1 Clemson College has on this de velopment train. It has been an in- sp'ratio.-i to me to observe the painstaking and earnest efforts o" these special.sts to impart their kncwVdge to the various communi ties. They are sold on their work and are at all times anxious and eage-i to assist those seeking infor mation and rel cf. To the good of tho people cf McCormick I commend the crusaders, who are devoting their live s and thoughts to lighten the burdens of our farmers. Tis no opinion or theory that is being ad vanced. To the contrary, tho sug gestions left here with you are the icsult pf years of constant and in telligent practical study and tests by expe ts of your gi*.:at state col lege. “Before closing I want to pay my .crpccts to McCormick County, who' mainly through the efforts of one cf its lead.ng citizens has blazed tho way so far as poultry development ! is concerned. Too much credit can- \ i not be give n that broad and big man of McCormick County, Mr. J. J. Dorn, who is not only a great asset to his county but to the state as w/ 11. It is a priv lege to acknowl edge Sir. Dorn as one of the C. & W. C.’s best friends and patrons. “In concluding, I want to reiterate that it is our pleasure and privilege to co-operate in the great work be ing done by Clemson College.” There is marked interest in diver- sif cd farming in this sectio n es- ‘rcially related to poultry raising and dairying and the farmers of L his territory are growing an onor- ncus quantity of poultry. The man agement cf the Charleston & West ern Carilira railway has been thank ed fer co-operating to bring the tra n to this section and it is believ ed great good will result from it.

In his right Highway between heKe and Blacks- hand he clutched a flashlight, indi- catirir the authorities said that he had tried vainly to right the dis abled craft after it had been struck by lightning. The Carr party made its tragic d scovery shortly after 3 p. m., but it was several hours before the pi!ct was identified. Without stop- p ng to examine the plane Ca:r hurried to Chatswo ’th, the nearest town, and telephoned to the authori ties at Mount HMly, who sent Ar thur Carabine, a coil, ty detective, to the scene. Carabine was the first to identify definitely the body. In the pockets of Carranza’s Mexican army trous ers he found $175 in bank notes that had been torn apart by the force of the aviator’s impact with the ground; two tickets of admis sion to a fight at Madison Square Garden, New York, and a telegram at Mitchel Field, N. Y.. from the weather bureau, Washington. It notified him of the possible weather cond tions he might be expected to meet on his flight and fuggested his taking a southwester ly route to New Orleans. It told him that cloudy weather would be encountered and urged him to Uy high until he reached New Orleans Later Carabine was joined by Sc: geant Crawford of the New Jer sey state police, stationed at Co lumbus, N. J., and by Capt. John Thornburg., division f re warden at Mount Hclly. Together they search cd the surrounding country. Piece by piece they picked up liagmcnts of the plane, and then more than thirty feet fr.vn tho body the wrist watch of Captain Car ranza was found. The upper part of the aviutpr’s body was clothed in his leather Hy ing blousi, and his helmet still was on his cru htd head. Some d s- tance away they found his shatter ed goggles shapelessly twisted and devoid of anv trace of their lenses. When ide t fication was estab lished, Carabine notified the Mexi can ambassador in Washington and bad the body removed to an undertaking establ slant t here. A fuithcj- examination disclosed that both legs and the left arm had been broken, the skull badly crushed in on the left side and the nose twisted far to one side of the face. Even the right hand, the one that had grimly clutched the flashlight was fractured. The real cause of the disaster perhaps never will be known. There were those who doubted the light ning theory and who said Carranza probably had lost his way in the storm and was seeking a landing when the crash came. Those hold ing theory said that Lind bergh in his “barn-storm” days frequently made use of a hand electric flashlight when it became necessary to make a forced landing at night. But the natives of the vicinity said the lightning theory could not be easily dispelled from their minds. They said that at the height of the storm they distinctly heard the sound of an airplane circling overhead. J. C.
