Mcwborter Injured in Ball Game.

a letter received from Charley
McWhorter who is at Roswell, New
Mexico, states that he has met WITH
an accident in ball game which
resulted in a very painful injury A
grounder came toward him and as
he stopped to field it. it struck a
stone which was knocked into bis
face. The stone struck him on the
nose breaking it badly. The bone
was shattered and driven through
the skin making a bad cut. After
an hours work the surgeon told him
that it would be as good as new as
soon as nature has done her part.
He expects to come east June first
and Join the Charleston team and
play with them this summer. His
team at Roswell has won three out
of four games played and the one
that was lost was lost in IL innings
bv a score of 4 to 3.

COUNTY COURT BUSY.
investigating Several Matters
in Controversy.
In Clinton District this Morning See.
ing About That Road Case This
Afternoon They Went to MELONS
Chapel 10 Look After That Scrap
Good Roads Meeting Saturday.


The County Court is holding a CON-
mittee meeting today. The members
were out this morning ia Clinton dis
trict to investigate the road which is
proposed to be established to take the
place of the one running from Ufing
ton to town.
When it was laid out fuss started
between some of the property owners
through whose lands it was proposed
to be run. The court will endeayor TO
get the tangle Strengthened out and If
they can do so will compromise 1t and
settle it to the satisfaction of those
Concerned.
In case this cannot be done the
matter Will be taken up at the June
term of court and settled by condem-
nation proceedings
This afternoon the court went up
the NJ & K to MELONS chapel to in
vestigate the squabble into which the
chapel and the NJ & X people have
become involved.
Its proposed to change the route
of the road at that place in order to
eliminate a bad curve. This will
take a strip from the property Of the
chapel aud the latter wants heavy
damages or to.be exact they think
that $3.50 will be about right.
One of the officials of the road said
that they regarded this as eXorbitant.
They offer $780, When the chapel
was remo1elled they gave $40 towards
this and recently presented them with
half an acre of ground and made sew
eral improvements near the chapel.
They think that the congregation
or at least some of them want too
much for what is to be taken. They
state that the strip which is wanted
is not more than one eight of an acre.
The court will meet again on Sat
urday to hear what the tax payers
have to say about good roads and the
indications are that there viii be a
very large attendance Of peuple from
every section Of the county. Some
of those who cannot come viii send
in written communications embody.

TWO CENTS
FATAL DEFECT.
Flying Machine Would do Ev-
cry Thing but fly

So frof. Sehiek set himself to Owe
come the Influence of Grayitation
Says he win Shoa the Missourians
who Live in This VALLEY He WIN
Get his Bumps.
From Brownsville comes announce
ment that Prof. William schlck, of
flying machine fame, is about to at
tempt another aerial fight.
The professor who formerly lived at
Monongahela, essayed an excursion
into space from a West Monongahela
hill. The flying machine was equip
ped with complete assortment Of
sails wings, Ems, tin-tabes, etc IL
was propelled by series Of explo-
sions.
Wide interested was maifested in
the device An air lineto Plttsburg
and outings to Olympia park in COM
petition with the river boats were
among the things dreamed of. A pow
effal stock company with limitless cap
ital, for the manufacture and sale Of
the Schick flying machine was talked
of. The professor reposed implicit
confidence in has creation. In appear
auce It was wonder There seemed
To be no reason in the world why it
should pot blthely dance and duck
among the clouds or skim lightly over
moorldnd and lea.
And In fact when the day for test
arrived, only one solitary defect was
discovered it wouldn't go, The pro-
fessor brought all his arts Of bland
ishment and argument to bear on this
situation. He let out a bit more sale
here, took a reef there, UTTERED impas-
stoned words OF exhortation ami en-
eouIagement.
But the machine was obstinate as
deadlocked council. The professor
retired from the hill with an express
sion Of resignation on his features and
d resolution locked in bis breast.
Fly, certainly he could not fly. And
though the valley was peopled with
folks from Missouri, he'd show them
yet
He put his think tank into work
ing order aud began running it over
time
Between music lessons he studied
the thing out. Months later he re-
moved to Brownsville. Perhaps it was
better place TO think. Not for an
Instant did he consider the abandon
ment Of his project.
At last! Hooray! Here was the diff
fleulty right bere-the attraction OF
gRavitation. This must be overcome.
The whole trouble lay right in the
machines tendency to return TO the
earth after it was once started.
The force Of graWty-that was it.
The source Of the difficulty once UNI
earthed the Professor set about to
find a remedy.
He believes he hasfound it, He is
uot telling the world his secret. That
is not the way Of flying machine in
ventors. He is remodeling his ma
chine on new lines When machine
No is completed, it will embrace
features that will cause the force OF
gravity to hide IFS bushes.
The date for the ascent has not been
fixed. 1t will be at Brownsville, and
it will be soon. The valley is in a
iutter Of expectancy, and many are
said to be providing themselves with
telescopes in order to watch the pro-
fessor's flight into the aerial blue.
1t is stated that If the professor
again finds himself unable to fly his
machine he win at least fly into a pas
sion.
