Gahlsdorf Radio Outfit Gives
Picnickers Presidential
and Fight News'
, Almost 500 ppople. Including a
, number .from - Salem, held their
Fourth of July picnic3 at the Tay
. lor camp grounds, above Meharaa.
1 It Is rated as one of the most
. beautiful camp sitei In Jibe wholo
valley, arid tbe crowds came from
long distances, some of them as
far as 100 miles, to have the bezt
, there was. - "' . i;.
' It's a real wilderness, but they
-had 'some of the most modern
thtBgs' that the old timers never
. dreamed. They had ' "President
Harding and the world's cham
pionship fight.
.William Gahlsdorf took along
his radio outfit. ' 'While Bruce
Cunatfighxjn Jclftnbe'd. tall tree
.and" anchored the antenna, Gahls
dorf : brought . out and " arranged
. the machine,, and one of the boys
dag the storage battery out 6f the
bowels of the ear to run the Out
tit. l OabUdorf tested it out with
the ear-pads until "he had it right.
Then he hitched ( it on to the
phonograph born and said: ."Here
it Is, : president ' and pugs and
everybody!"
i ' The president's speech came in
from Portland "as clear: as if he,
had ""been speajking - from just
across the table. They could heai
him breather Cbuld - hear - the ap
plause from the audience, and U
was a lot easier than craning
their necks in a big; audience on
a ' hot, sunshiny day. .The Taylor
grove campers crowded -around
until almost" the whole 500 were
listening-.
The ' fight returns came In ' al
most - equally 'Weil. JTBey could
almost ' hear . the thud of the
gloves, and; hear the crowd raw
Ins the Shipyards champ as he
failed, to scowl and "beard" and
' punch the elusive Gibbons Into
. aubmlssion. They couldn't "hear
Gibbons ' faU 'in a knockout, as
Dempsey had promised, but they
could almost' hear Kearns and
Dempsey grit their teeth over the
fact that even after taking It all
' ' and - after they had killed, vthe
fight same as dead as a last year's
mackerel, ' they J still didn't have
the full pound of flesh" from the
promoters. It wasn't primarily a
tight crowd, but they sot some
"kick" out of it even at; that.
The first Statesman, published
In .1851, had "news" from the
east almost four months old; but
it was -as hot off the .bat as any
body's news. Here' these plcnick-

COLUMBIA, S. C, July 5.
South Carolina, long a state in
which the negro greatly outnum
bered the whi(e, is experiencing
a- decrease In its colored popula
tion that Is gradually saining in
volume, according to railroad and
other officials In position to ob
serve. One railroad official re
cently estimated that fully 22 per
cent of the- negro population of
the state had left - for northern
point, and a newspaper in a re
cent article,'-estimated tha for
tho first time in more than 100
years the white population of the
State exceeded the negro.
Not only have scores of thous
ands of negroes left the state dur
ing the past year or more, bu
the number of women and child
ren leaving Is Increasing, railroad
officials state. At first only the
males left for the north. Now,
however, many of those who went
to the industrial centers early in
the exodua are sending for their
wives and , families t while many
others are taking their women
and children with them. .
voiumoia apparently is a con
centration Tornt for! considerable
surrounding territory. Practically
every day1! 00 or more leave from
the railroad stations in this city,
according to S, H. McLean, dis
trict passenger agent for the
Southern railway.
"The negroes themselves are not
Inclined to discuss their plans to
any great extent and make very
little show in leaving." said Mr.
McLeon. "They usually do not
bny heir tickets at the uptown
offices, waiting instead until a
few minutes before train time
when they purchase' a ticket and
then board the train and are gone.'

Are famous beauties brainless?
This is a controversy which baa
long raged. The affirmative may
have been taken by -disappointed
men and homely women, but the
question is one which has long

That beauty and brains do
