Serious Handicaps
THE voyage from the start was
i with difficulties and danpers.

THE voyage from the start was fraught
l. with difficulties and dangers. Just be-
fore the ascension was to have taken place,
Sadler discovered in his silk gas bag a large
rent which showed signs OF extending After
much difficulty, the aeronaut managed to
lmproVise a rope ladder, by means o. which
he was able to reach the tear ana .epair

made and the balloon, caught by the wind,
was carried out over the sea. Here Sadler
found that his theory of the air currents
was practically correct, and by maneuvcr-

Cessful landing upon the south shore of the
Isle OF Man
From the Isle of Man the aeronaut made
another ascension, and late in the afternoon
found himself abreast of Great OrmcS Head.
AT this point he determined TO make a
final landing, but before he could effect this
the wind shifted and at the same time
increased in force The balloon, caught in

backache until we moved here some
four years ago from Pennsylvania,

secretions from the kidneys were ir-
regular and much too frequent in
action. especially at night when our
rest was much disturbed. Since we
used Doan's Kidney Pills neither OF

A Riddle for the Cotton Grower.

bale of cotton, weighing 500
pounds, will make about 5000 yards
Of calico.
To make the calico, at the present
prices of cotton, will cost about
$1O2.5O in all.
Let US say that the spinners only
gets an average Of cents a yard for
his calico or $50 for the 5000 yards.
In that case. he clears a net profit of
$41.5O on each bale.
On a crop Of $4,000, 900 bales, the
spinners will make a profit Of $685.
100000. At cents per yard, he clears
1915, 100000.
What do you think of that?
can understand we'll enough why
the spinner puts himself to some ex-
pense and trouble to meet the grower
in conference.
He has a natural curiosity to see
what such blamed fool looks like.
The thing which puzzles The Jeffer-
sonian is this:
How on earth does the spinner
manage to keep his face straight when
he meets the man that he so easily,
so constantly, and so numerically
robs?
This calico cost you from 6 to 8
cents per yard. Therefore, you sell
500 pounds Of cotton for less than $50
and buy 1t back at more than $50.
No wonder you are SO prosperous
that all the Plute newspapers are ask
ing you to ring the bells, light the
bonfires, toot the whistles blow the
bugles. and do everything else in God
Almighty's world excepting just one
thing:
Don't study the construction of the
trap in which you are caught.
Keep selling a bale OF cotton at $50
and buying it back at $3.50.
That's one way to please the Privi-
legged Few who pocket the $3.50 which
you lose on each bale-Exchange.

SHAME OF THE MIDWAY.
STRONG SERMON DELIVERED BY
A CHARLOTTE PASTOR.
itcmarks That Are Very Timely-Rev.
; MIR. Duncan Went After Fair AssO-
ciation With Gloves OF and Spoke
FOrcibly OH Mock of Sin,

"A stain has been left, which can
never be wiped away. A picture has
been painted upon the retina Of the
eyes Of the youth Of this county.
which cannot be oblterated for years.
which makes them less pure than
before. These things have been done
by reason of the condensed wicked
ness. the loud obscenity, the lewd
sights which stalked abroad and were
flung in the faces Of Christian men,
women and children during the fair
which has just closed"
These are few Of the strong SEN
tences which were uttered yesterday
by Mr.. Duncan, pastor Of the Asso-
ciate Reformed Church on the Shame
Of the Midway
Mr.. Duncan took for his text the
9th verse Of the 14th chapter of Pro-
verbs. Fools make a mock Of SIM"
He began by saying that he had no
apology to make for what he was go
ing to say; that 1t was the duty OF
a preacher and OF all Christian peo-
pie to enter their protest against the
license. the lewd wickedness. the ram
pant immortality. which characterized
the conduct OF the fair, and that those
who stood by. looked on and coun-
fenced It. were just as guilty as any,
what Is 1t to make a mock Of sin
First, it Is to make light Of sin. This
was the sin Of the old-time people,
and today it is becoming popular
again.
Aaron tried to make light of sin
when he erected the golden calf in
the wilderness. and as a result blood
flowed like water Achan tried to
make light Of sin when he stole the
gold and silver from the tent of his
captain. and Solomon tried it, and all
Of those lived to see their shame.
Rome, the mistress fthe world,
made light Of sin. and crumbled. VOL
tair brought on the French revolu-
ton. which made blood run red in
the streets Of Paris by making light
OF sin.
ITO make a mock Of sin, is to en-
courage 1t. and make money out of
Elm Is to mock 1t.
"The fair association. in order to
make a few paltry dollars, thought
1t necessary to have the fair run in
such a way that the State has been
hurt. because its laws have been
trampled upon; the church has suf-
fered. for whatever assails the church
hurts 1t. and the moral sense OF the
community has been lowered for no
pure man could walk that midway
and still be pure.
1.-THE children Of this city and
country were carried to the fair in
a body. with their young minds re-
ceptive and tender for the touch OF
sin. They were allowed to look upon
sights, the like of which have
never seen before. Pictures which
would make the dance of Salome
before Herod pale into insignificance
were flung in their faces. They were
shown men robbing the people In
spite Of the law and they were made
to feel the glittering beauty of sin
In its awfulness. and to Make a
mock OF sin," and in the years to
come. the scene will linger with them
to the shame Of the community and
to tho fair n."-Charlotte
