||OME EDITION VOLUME XIX. No. 109. HARDWICK SPEAKS FRIDAY NIGHT Candidate For Senate Opens State Cam paign in Augusta Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick Has Accepted Invitation of Augusta Friends to Open His State Campaign For the U. S. Senate in This City and Will Address Voters of This Section Friday Night. 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 he will address the voters of this coun ty and surrounding section. Mr. Hardwick has been in Augusta for n couple of days, coming here from Savannah, where he made an address to the celebrated "Cracker Club" of that city. His friend* are confident that he will carry Chatham county and the first district in his race for the 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. _ .. THE AUGUSTA HERALD senate, ns they arc that the 10(h dis trict and Augusta will also jive him u large and overwhelming vote. 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 night. It is expected that a good many citizens of the surrounding counties also will avail themselves of this op portunity to hear tit? opening ad dress of Candidate Hardwick in his 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.
