A HAPPY MEETING.

They were both farmers, hadn't met for quite a number of years. They were both attending the State Fair where they had looked over the Ala bama raised horses. cows, hogs, etc. One of them was attracted by the fa- miliar sight of the Alabama-made Florence Wagon exhibit of farm. log wagons, etc, near the Main Hall when on turning around he saw his friend, who lives in different portion of the State, examining the OwensbOro Wag- on, which was his favorite, It was a happy meeting. They got into a friendly discussion as to which wagon was the best and in orcer to settle the matter they went to the exhibit of Loeb Carriage & Supply Company in the main building where they found the representatives of both the Flor ence and Owensboro Wagon Company and were treated to souvenirs by both.
 Last seen of our friends they were walking off arm in arm with smile on their faces commenting on the fore sight of the Fair management in put ting their favorite wagons in the open air right under the blue canopy of heaven where the good daylight would strike them and show their gocd points instead of putting them under tent.
 Any farmer, merchant, contractor, or anyone who uses wagons should go tc the exhibit of Loeb Carriage X Supply Company and procure farm wagon souvenirs from the genial representa- tives of these farm wagons. Adv.

which serves as . rudder and guides the ship In its flight through the air.
 Two ascensions of the airship were made yesterday.
 During the first ascension the air. ship was in the air only five minutes. When he got high in the air Hamfi- ton discovered that the gasoline in his motor was leaking He descended to the ground in the circfe made by the race track lirectly in front of the grand stand where his force of me- chanical assistants quickly stopped the leak. They then lifted the ma chine in the air and held 1t there un- til Hamilton found the current Of air that suited him and nodded to them 10 let go. The aerial vessel rose as gracefully as . bird and took south easterly course. In full view or the grand stand Hamilton turned his ma chine completely about and passed over the grand stand where the pufhng of his motor could be plainly heard. He remained high in the air for num- Ter of minutes when ne again turned about and crossed the Fair grounds. He came close to the earth outside the grounds where a number Of negroes were at work picking cotton. The puffing of the motor first attracted their attention to the strange thing that was coming and with one accord they broke through the field for the protection of the wood. Hamilton again turned about and safely made his descent at his tent within the grounds.
 Airship is Described.
 That which soonest attracts the at- tention of the observant onlooker is the fact that the propeller to the air ship Is attached to the front Of the airship. Asked why his was so. Ham ilton replied after his ascent: If you blow up a paper bag you will nnd 1t IS much easier to get it through the Hir by pulling than by showing 1t against | the air. The propeller m front pulls the machine much moro easily than if it was attached to the rear. In ad- dition if the propeller was m the rear 1t would be forced to do its work In I a disturbed condition where the cur rents are conflicting with each other while. as it is. the propeller is the first thing to pierce and disturb the atmos- phere."
 The gas bag of the machine is forty six feet long and sixteen rect i'll diam eter. In addition to the fve-horse power motor and the operator riding in his little chair. the machine car ries from thirty to forty pounds of ballast separated in bags of small weight which can be dropped when thought necessary.
 Hamilton is no less interesting than his machine, for he is one of tho best known experimenters in aerial navi- gation in the country. He pinned his faith for a long time to the aeroplane as the best means of aerial naviga- | tion, and had perhaps made more dan gerous aeroplane ascensions than any
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-10-24

other man in the country. He is, per- haps, the best known practical aero plane operator in the country, for he has tried every experiment known to that theory of air navigation.
 In doing this he has sustained no less than ffty-seven different falls.
 "In these experiments" he said yes- terday, q broke my collar bone twice. three ribs, an arm and a leg. I think I had some other bones broken but can't remember them all just now. But the airship is better. It looks danger ous, no doubt, to see me up there in the air. but I don't think 1t Is. have never had a single fall in the airship.'
 He is slender chap, good looking and always smiling. He doesn't weigh much more than 100 pounds but 1t Is all nerve and muscle.
