AIRSHIP TO FLY
IN CAMOUFLAGE
Novel Attraction Pre
pared for Big Celebra
tion July 5
One of the many attractions to be
at the Fourth of July celebration at
Souther Field, Monday, July 5, will
be a real camouflaged air ship. The
work on this ship was begun about
ten days ago and to date is just
* about finished and will be ready to
take the air in a few days. Every
one should see this novelty, as it is
an exact duplicate of a camouflaged
ship that was actually usel in the
great war.
The biggest attraction in the line
of aerial performances will be the
changing of planes in midair by
Roger Q. Williams, an act entitled
“Flirting With Death.’’ This feat is
accomplished by Williams standing
on the upper wing of one plane and
having another plane fly over him
with about a five or six-foot space
between the two, thereby enabling
him to reach the lower wing of the
upper plane and climbing aboard.
This is considered by many aviators
or airplane observers to be the most
dangerous feat ever accomplished ;n
the air.
There will be many other attrac
tions for the public—baseball game,
parachute leap from plane, stock and
fancy work exhibits, basket dinner
and grard fireworks disptav a.'d
dancing at night.

court, and he was transferred to the

EACH kind of motor has its peculiar lub
ricating problem. But even more im- m — _
portant, is the condition of the motor. H , IS
If it is a new motor, the parts are snug. H J
If it has been run a short while, the parts
have become loosened up.
If it has been run for a long time, the parts g J
are probably well worn.
Each of these conditions requires a different 5 S
grade of oil.

KIWANIANS PLAN
EASTMAN TRIP
Charter Presentation
There To Take Place
Next Thursday
Plans are being made by President
Lewis Ellis and other members of the
Americus Kiwanis Club to attend the
charter presentation ceremonies of
the Eastman club next Thursday
night, July 1. At the recent charter
presentation banquet of the Amer
icus club, W. W. Long, secretary of
the Eastman club, presented an invi
tation to all Kiwanians present to be
guests of his club at the big affair,
which he promised would be some
thing worthwhile. Since then plans
have been in the making here to or
ganize a party for the trip, although
the date has only just been made
public.
Because of the affair coming on
Thursday, the date of the Kiwanis-
American Legion baseball game, the
party will probably be smaller than
had been anticipated.

AUTO TAG QUICK
Sheriff To Begin Making
Criminal Cases, He
Says
Too many people are still using
1919 tags on their automobiles in
Sumter county, according to Sheriff
Harvey, who said yesterday that he
would begin immediately making
criminal charges against all who
have failed to equip their cars- with
1920 tags.
“The time for paying this tax ex
pired March Ist,” he said yesterday,
“and at the suggestion of the state [
authorities, enforcement of the sta
tute was not commenced until May [
1. Even now many cars are operat-[
ed here without tags, and this must j
stop.”
Secretary of State L. G. McLen-1
don has written Sheriff Harvey re-1
cently calling attention to the fact|
that all applications for tags on file j
in his office have been filled, and di
recting him to refuse to entertain j
excusses from car owners who have
not yet secured their rags for 1920.
“And I’m going to make criminal
charges against all car owners who
I find using their cars hereafter
when they are not equipped with
1920 tags,” the sheriff said Saturday.)
Walter Wilson To Be
Sent to State Farm
Walter W. W.ilson, whose convic
tion for the murder of Joel Edge
was recently affirmed by the Su-|
preme court, and who it was stated i
recently would serve his life sen-[
tence on the Sumter county chain
gang, will be transferred instead to
the state farm at Milledgeville. Wil
son’s health, it is stated, is such as
to require that he be given light la
bor, and this caused the decision to j
send him to the state farm instead I
of placing him on the gang here.
