Col. H. Clay King, who died in the Tennessee penitentiary on Thursday, was quite well known in Alabama" said a lawyer. He was Kentuckian, but graduated at the University of Alabama. At the age of 21 he was admitted to prac- tice law
 Colonel King had served eleven years in the state prison when he died. He was a prominent attorney of Memphis and in 1892 he shot and killed D. H. Pos ton on Court Square in that city. MT. Poston was also a prominent member of the bar. The death sentence was passed upon Colonel King for his crime, which was the result of family troubles. Gov ernor Buchanan, however, commuted the sentence to life shortly before the day set for the execution.
 T saw Colonel King in the Tennessee penitentiary several years ago. He oc- cupied an elaborately furnished cell in murderer's row. He was quite wealthy. While in prison Colonel King lived to himself and spent all of his spare time in reading. His favorite subjects were politics and affairs of the day. He read French fuently. Prison garb and rough companonship did not mar his manners or his bearing.
 Colonel King was a brave confederate soldier. At Shelbyville he was captured by General Stanley of the federal army. and he said to the confederate soldier; You are the bravest man I ever saw on the field of battle
 He had been a devout member of the Catholic church for years. His last words were: I die in peace. I am perfectly re- signed and have no fear for the future. !"

After his last and most disastrous at- tempt at flying it would seem that Prof. Langley has at last reached the limit of his endeavors None would blame him for gamely keeping up the fight but he is cer- tainly not expected to call for more gov ernment funds after the unfailing disaster that has overtaken every attempt to navi- gate the air The last trial on the Po- tomac was indeed abortive, for the aero- drome did not fly an inch but instead broke in two and jumped Prof. Manley into the rivers icy waters. A comparison of our aerialist and plueky little Santos Dumont is very damaging to the former, for the Brazilian has achieved remarkable success in his flights and was even ambitious enough to want to sail across the Atlan- tic. Luckily for him arrangements for his foolhardy undertaking could not be made. It Is now time for Prof. Langley to make his bow and give some one else trial, or else conduct his experiments in secret, for they have had so much publicity that the public is weary of reading about his flying machine that will not fly.
