AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL
ELECTION ‘SQUABBLE’
UP TO LEGISLATURE
The municipal politics of Augusta,
said to be the most strenuous in Geor
gia. were aired before the house com
mittee on corporations yesterday aft
ernoon, when partisans from the Rich
mond county metropolis urged and op
posed a bill to use the secret ballot in
the Richmond county general elections.
In a recent mayoralty primary, one
Augusta faction withdrew, charging
the other side with fraud, and gave no
tice of a final fight in the general elec
tion. The other side then appealed to
the legislature for the secret ballot to
prevent, so they assert, the purchase
of negro votes. Judge Enoch Galloway
appeared for the bolters and talked
against the bill, while Clem E Dunbar
former legislator, appeared for the reg
ulars and urged its passage

WINGED GAR RUNS
62 MILES IN HOUR
Invention of Bertrand DeLes
seps of Paris Expected to
Revolutionize Motoring.
PARIS, Aug. 7.—The ‘winged car has
been tried and proved a huge success.
Paris is showering praise upon the in
ventor. Bertrand de Lesseps, and the pre
diction is made that the new arrival will
revolutionize motoring
The car went from Paris to Lyons,
about 320 miles, without a single mishap,
and made the distance in excellent time.
The car has the appearance of an ordi
nary motor car, except that the forepart
is shaped like the prow of a ship. From
the extremity of the prow extends a shaft
to which the propeller is attached—or the
“wing.'* as it is called.
The “wing” is driven oy a 40-horsepow
er engine and rotates by shaft and chain
transmission. The wheels of the car run
free. In the trial, a speed of 62 miles
an hour was made, with 2,100 wing revo
lutions a minute.
