It was announced last night by
friends of Congressman T. W. Hard
wick, who la a candidate for the U.
S. acnate, that he had accepted an in
vitation from hi* friend* and support
er* In Augusta to open his state cam
paign in this city Friday night, when

World Famous Drivers Sped
Around Track at Dazzling Pace
t
Amid Dust Clouds Disbrow, Eddie Hearne and the Others
Make Great Speed on the Fair Grounds Race Track.
The automobile races came off yes
terday afternoon before a crowd that
was estimated at about four of five
hundred people.
The spectacle presented to their daz
zled eyes was little short of grand.
When the races were on. and the big
cars going round and round the fair
ground track, the spectators in the
grand-stand were regaled with the
sight of an immense cloud, a dense
and stifling volume of dust. Nothing
else,—and in the whirling chaos of
pulverized red clay was a roaring
sound, like the riveting on the Empire
.Building only more deafening, loud for
a moment as (no doubt) one of the
ears went by, then receding to a faint
noise not louder than ten thousand
donkey engines. Round and round they
went. Every now and then one could
catch a glint of sunlight reflected on
brass as one of the cars flashed past,
or perhaps a gleam of color. So much
for the impression received at the
races.
For the detailed acount, if you want
one, here it is:
There were five entrants: Louis
Disbrow, E. Hearne, L. Heineman, J.
Raimy, and F. Horey, each driving his
own car.
lf.ent No. 1 Exhibition Time
Trials.
Each car was speeded twice around
the half mile track, and on the time
made was given its handicap. In this
J. Raimy made the best time, getting
over the mile in one minute, thirteen
and a fifth seconds.
Event No. 2—Distance 3 Miles.
E. Hearne won in four minutes, five
and one-fifth seconds.
Event No. 3 —Distance 1 Mile.
lxtuls Disbrow, driving his 300 H. P.
racer on exhibition to show spectators
what the world's largest and most
powerful racing car looks and sounds
like In action. That was the big Jay
lOye-See, that looks like a canoe turn
ed upside down. Disbrow holds four
beach records with this machine. Time,
1 m 14 1-5 s.
This was the only time the nig v t:iie
car was used. Disbrow had a all
120 11. P. racer for the contests.
Event No. 4— Distance 5 Miles.
Australian Pursuit Race. Four cars
start at equi-dlstance around the race
EITEfI MONDAY
OR NOT AT ALL
All Persons Who Expected to
Run For County Offices Must
Give Notice By 12 O’Clock
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day in which
candidates for county offices may en
ter the primary which is scheduled for
the 15th of May.
All persons who expect to run for
office and who have not notified
Chairman Harrison, of the sub-com
mittee of the Richmond county demo
cratic executive committee, of their
intention should do so before noon
Monday as the list of entries will be
closed promptly at that time.
It seems that the only prospective
race 1s the one for county commission
er and but for this race the candidates
now running could be declared the
nominees without the formality of a
primary.
REPORT INACCURACIES
TO SUB-COMMITTEE
Chairman Harrison Wants to
Know if There Were Omis
sions or Errors in Printed
Registry List.
The registration list for state, coun
ty, congressional and senatorial elec
tions was published in The Herald
yesterday afternoon. If there were
any omissions or mistakes they should
be reported to Mr. T. F. Harrisop,
chairman of the suh-committee, who
wlli see that they are promptly cor
rected.
There are over 5.200 names on the
registry list and on account of the
great number it is entirely possible
that there are some omissions and
mistakes. _ ..

There is no better iiolltlcal cam
paigner in the state than Congressman
Hardwick and he is sure to be greeted
with a large und enthusiastic audi
ence when he opens his campaign for
the U. S. senate In this city Friday

It is expected that a good many

also will avail themselves of this op
portunity to hear tit? opening ad

race for the senate.
track and race until one machine ov
ertakes all the others. As each car is
overtaken it drops out of the race. The
car starting on the scratch in front of
the stand must overtake all the other
cars before the checkered flag is given
at the end of the fifth mile. J. Raimy
won this event with his car “Comet.”
Disbrow was not entered.
Event No. s—Distance 4 Laps.
Novelty Race. The cars start on
scratch, race two laps and come to a
dead stop in front of stand, where
both tire und wheel are changed to
show fast and how accurately the
work can be done in the big road races
and speedway classics. All the men
working the changes are experts and
in most cases less than half a minute
is consumed In the pit by a car when
a tire or new wheel is needed, from
the time the car stops until it starts.
After the change the cars did two
more laps to finish the race. Hearne
won the event in 3 mins. 18 1-2 secs.
Event No. 6 —Distance 2 Miles Sla’e
Record Trials.
Only Disbrow ran in this. He
brought down the former record by ti
and :!-5 seconds.
Disbrow also won the next event,
the 6-Mile Free for All, in 4 minutes
and 22-5 of a second.
The last event was a Handicap, in
which all five contestants were enter
ed together, (the only time), and the
cars were given starts according to
the showing they had made. Heine
nian with his car “Scat," who had the
longest start of all, won the race eas
ily.
Now' all that was gathered partly
from the program, partly from occas
ional glimpses seen through the dust,
and partly from a megaphone voice
which was heard from time to time
announcing the outcome of each race
as it subsided into silence.
Of course the fair ground track Is
not constructed for an auto-race track.
I t is more than half curves, being al
most circular, and the curves are not
banked up sufficently. The cars had
a bad time getting round them, and
sometimes skidded completely across
the track in rounding the end. Which
will explain the comparatively slow
time made in these races. The cars
w T ere most of the time in second
speed.
HURRY Oil YOUR
TAXJETURNS
Only Ten Days Remain in
Which Richmond County Peo
ple May Make Returns to
Receiver.
County Tax Receiver Steed calls at
tention to the fact that only ten more
days remain in which to make tax
returns. This year the books will
close earlier than they have hereto
fore.
After the first of May the county
board of assessors will begin work
and those who do not make their re
turns during the next ten days are
liable for double taxation.
Comparatively few people have
made their returns as yet and the time
Is getting short.
