Strong Junior and Sophomore material bolster Johnson's hopes. Bill Daughaday who held down the 165-pound berth in the 1938 season reported yesterday along with Captain Harvey Ross and Louis Ach, both of whom have seen Varsity competition for two years in the 118-1b and 126-lb. positions, respectively...
...were they related to the hurricane which struck farther up the northern Atlantic Coast last fortnight. Blowing up from some 25 miles in the interior, the first twister knocked down a row of Negroes' houses near the Ashley River. Within seven minutes, another twister licked down Meeting Street, along the Cooper River, wrecked more ancient hovels of the poor, flattened many a garden of the native gentry and rich Yankee interlopers. Sadly battered but not ruined were palmettos, oaks in famed White Point Gardens, known to millions of tourists. A third blow skirted Charleston proper, whisked off a dozen...
...where Lord Cornwallis once stayed during the Revolution.

On April 19, 1892 he first scooted his pace-setting gasoline buggy along leafy Taylor Street in Springfield, Mass, to give the four-billion-dollar automobile industry its first real push. His contraption was pretty primitive. It grew out of a love for horses ("Think of it. We have no tails to dock, no checkreins, no whips, no blinders, no sore backs") and at one stage in the gasoline buggy's development he even considered building...
