he will oppose the Democratic party and run for Congress as an Independent 'If I go to Congress again, he says, T wish to go with sn undisputed title from district having 8 majority of white voters. It is said I am helping to put the Republicans in power. As understand it, the Republicans will help to put mo in power. If there is anything wrong in my receiving such help it does not be- come the Lamar Democracy to complain of it. I cannot prove it, but 1 believe the friends of Mir Lamar made combination with Lynch when he was contesting my seat and when it was feared that Barksdale would carry the white counties for Senator. If MT. Lamar could accept the aid of MT. Lynch and be sustained, I feel safe in accepting the aid of Mir Secretary Chandler"
 Martha Schofeld, for many years manager of the negro school at Aiken, South Carolina, and an intelligent and careful observer. is not encouraged by the condition of political affairs in that State. She says: ''South Carolina is quiet between elections, but in politics it seems that everybody fairly goes wild. What the white people need to be taught more than anything else is that lying is lying, the same to negro as to a white man, the same in politics as in business" She also says that the color prejudice shows no diminution, and, in the recent trials of election officers for frauds, that the accused whites have been regularly released on bail and upheld by popular opinion, while the negroes who appeared as witnesses against them have been arrested on trumped up charges, shut up in jail, intimidated and abused in many ways, and that anything like fairness in the proceedings was out of the question. She thinks that the only way out of the trouble is for the negroes to stop vot- ing, when the whites would wrangle among themselves and in the end perhaps give the blacks chance.
 Germany and Russia says the PGH iHdtt Gaaette, ''are both pushing forward expert ments in flying machines for use in war or otherwise. It appears that the direction in which these are working is the only one like ly to be successful. It ignores the ridiculous inflated gas bag, which is enormous in size, difficult and costly to fill in war, and floats gigantic dereict-at the mercy of every current of air, a huge mark for the first gun ner who can hit and bring it to the ground Baumgarten in Germany and Baranovsh in- Russia adopt the principle of the inclined plane pressed against the air, and thus capa- ble of making some attempt at least to regu- late it's own course. In the kite the force that presses the inclined plane is the hand of the boy acting through the string. In the sail of the boat the resist ance of the water to sidelong motion keeps the sail pressed against the wind. In flying machines the pressure is given by an engine carried by the machine and acting by means of fans of one sort or the other. The difficulty at present is the weight of engine and fuel; but with the de- velopment of electrical practical knowledge we may fairly expect to see accumulators which will supply the maximum of power with the minimum of weight. Then the problem of flying in still air will be solved Whether we shall ever be able to ride the storm is another matter"
