the way by it's power and the remain
der of the distance by the wing, which
was blowing at the rate of about nine
or ten miles an hour. the airship Of
Thomas S. Baldwin of San Francisco,
in charge of A. Roy Knabenshue of
Toledo, Ohio, made an unannounced
ascension from the aeronautic con-
course at the worlds fair yesterday
and landed near Cahokia, ILL.,, dis
xance of nearly ten miles, after
flight that attracted the attention Of
thousands Of persons who cheered al
most continuously as the big flying
machine passed over the exposition
grounds, left the residence section of
st. Louis far beneath it, and scared
high above the towering Office build
ings of the business district.
1t was the first really successful air
ship fight ever made in the United
States.
Under Complete Control.

car, his precarious foothold an iron

the exposition before the accident to
his motor which rendered the big

notwithstanding the breaking Of the
motor Knabenshue did not lose COM
plete control of the machine, but with
the momentum given by the wind he
was enabled to steer the machine in a
course that varied several points in
each direction from the trend of the
wind, and land at a point of his own
selecting. After he had landed Knab-

determined to make the test a fair

the east side of the Mississippi river.
Immediately after landing Knabens-

OF the airship was distinct success.
He said that he could have brought
the flying machine to the grounds at
any time, but that as he could, to a
certain extent, control its movements,
and that as he considered himself in
no danger, he decided to continue the
flight and demonstrate that even
though the motor was broken. that
The Arrow could be controlled.

Capt. Baldwin stated. He said it was
simply to convince the residents of st.
Louis and the worlds fair visitors
that he had an airship that could fiy.

Too Much Cotton.

Several newspapers have sounded 4
note of warning against the danger of
planting too much cotton, and although
it is doubtful as to whether such
warnings will have much effect we
are free to say that they are not un-
sound or improper.
There seems to be good reason to
believe that whether large or small,
the next crop will bring Il fair price;
but us we see it that is not the whole
question. In the past the heaviest
losses on cotton production have not
been so much on account of the price,
as on account Of the absence of econ
omical business management-the dis
position to undertake more than could
be accomplished.
making charges of wholesale lack of
business capacity. Many well regulat-
ed and well managed farms have fail
ed OF profit because of unf;Ivorable
seasons and prices below the cost of
production: but the failures on this
account are not nearly so numerous as
those on account Of eXtravagance-dis-
position to anticipate in expenditures
larger profits than might be reasonably
expected, and that danger is still pres
ent.

On reading the story in the last is
sue of THE ENQUIRER relative to the
alleged petition on file in the office of
the state board Of dispensary directors
for the establishment of a distillery in
Kings Mountain township, Mr.. c. C.
Hughes remarked.
That is just about as I expected. 1t
is possible that petition was cir
culated; but 1 have no idea that it
was signed by anything like as many
people as there are names on 1t. The
probability is that somebody just went
to the auditors office, got list Of free
holders and sent it in, thinking that
the state board would ask no ques-
tions, and the people interested would
know no better"
