drive one of the Fiat cars in the
Grand Prize Race on November
80th., will lead the Vanderbilt
Cup team. The other drivers will
be E. H. Parker and Teddy Tat
zlaff.
These with Felice Nazzaro, who
has been definitely engaged to
drive a Fiat in the Grand Prize,
and Caleb S. Bragg, the other Fiat
Grand Prize driver, make up one
of the greatest racing teams ever
seem at a race meet on this con
tinent.
Tatzlalf is a product of Califor
nia, having leaped into fame by
his winning of the 151 5 miles
race for the Ferris Cup at Los An
geles last Fall with an average
speed of 73.27 miles an hour. He
began racing at Los Angeles in
1909 when he won a place in the
Santa Monica races. In 1910 he
won both the Santa Monica races,
free-for-all in 71 22 miles an hour,
and the Stock Chassis in 73.27. He
followed up these victories bybeat
ing Ralph de Palma in a hundred
miles match race on the Los An
geles Motordrome track, averaging
over 80 miles an hour for the 100
miles, and winning from DePalma
by six miles.
Parker is a seasoned veteran
with plenty of experience in both
road and track racing He is not
new to the Fiat camp, having won
second place in the 1009 Vander
bilt Cup race with a stock or 45
horse power Fiat chassis.
Caleb Bragg was in Savannah as
sisting iuthe managing of the Fiat
team last year, and participated
in the races on the Atlanta track
just before last year’s Grand
Prize at which time he turned pro
fessional. Bragg first startled
motoring circles by beating Bar
ney Oldfield on the Los Angeles
Motordrome, in 1910. The same
year he had a thrilling experience
on the Brighton Beach track when
he crashed through the fence but
turned his car back on the track
and won the race.
In David Bruce-Brcwn and
Nazzaro the Fiat Company has the
winners of two of the three Grand
Prize races. Nazzaro is the only
driver who ever won three inter
national road races in a single
year, pi' ding three different types

The New South.
It is not two years since this
paper began to try to call public
attention in a conspicuous way to
the fact that the South >s the com
ing West; that there is now going
on in the South the equivolent of
that impressive expansion which
took place in the West from five
to thirty five years ago. The dif
ference is only in manner. The
booms in various parte of the West
were always spectacular and some
times unhealthy and feverish; the
South’s development in every ma
terial aspect is steady, substantial
and permanent. This change in
the Southern States is, in its pres
ent and future, so much the most
important economic phenomenon
now occuring on the continent of
North America that justifies the
occasion of reiteration furnished
by some recent census figures
dealing with agriculture. The
Southern States, which ever since
the Civil War, have been produc
ing the least per capita in farm
values, are now beginning to pro
duce the must. The Central West
ern States, long the synonymu for
the abundance of the soil, in the
last decade show a 50 per cent in
crease of crop values ; the South
Atlantic States show an increase
of 138 per cent. South Carolina,
only 20th among the statesin pop
ulation, has become 13th in crop
values. One other interesting
fact shown by the recent census
is that the rural South is becom
ing white; in the last decade the
the whites in the rural parts of
the South increased 15.4 per cent,
the negroes only 6.8 per cent.
This tendency will grow more
marked with the coming in of far
mers from the Central West, who
are just learning that they can
sell their preseut farms for a hun
dred dollars an acre and buy
Southern lands just as good for
twenty. —Collier’s Weekly.
Even nature is in revolt against
the sugar trust. Peaches are said
to be sweeter than usual this fall.
The Macon State Fair is attract
ing more attention than ever. It
is going to be a great exposition.
An exchange truthfully says
that conscience gets a good deal
of credit that belongs to cold feet.
