When spring came, or when the fool

planted enough seeds in his garden to
have made a five acre lot bloom and
blossom. Winter came on again and
froze them out, and he r%eplanted. Then
came the cold rains, and the seeds were
chilled and drowned. He tried it for
the third time and the fourth. He did
not let icebergs or snowstorms discour-
age him.. He only smiled when it rain

times when he could walk in his gar

his purpose. When Mrs. Bowser beg

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
by a Woman Sends Her Son to an
Untimely Grave.

New York, Sept, 21.-In attempting
to prevent his mother from shooting
herself, as he thought she was about
to do, Curt Klein, 16 years old, re-
ceived a bullet wound in his own
head early today in a furnished room
house in Second avenue. He was
taken at once TO Bellevue hospital. I'M
sensible, and probably will die. His
mother was locked up charged with
felony. Friction between Mr.. and
Mrs. Klein over the management OF
the house, the police say, induced
Mrs. Klein to attempt suicide rs
alleged.
Mrs. Klein, it is charged, ran into
her sons room and drawing a re-
volver from under her apron ex-
claimed: Well, I'm going to end
it all now" With a cry the boy
leaped from the bed where he had
been sitting and, rushing 70 her,
caught her arm and tried to wrest
the revolver from her. In the
struggle the weapon was discharged
and a bollet strhck the boy in the
right ear. The father and some
roomers rushed in and disarmed
Mrs. Klein, who faiHted When she
saw her boy lying wounded on the
floor.

A Five Hundred Dollar Pig.

We published sometime ago an &C
count of a freak in the way of a leg
less lamb. The territory adjacent to
Rocky Mount has produced another
freak Of nature in the shape of a six

farm of Mr.. G. F. Cooley, near Whit

Then the Weather Changed.

IN IN
He was right. About the middle OF
June the weather changed. The sun
came out warm, the people discarded
their winter clothing, and the BoWser
garden got ready for business. One
morning as Mr.. BoWser walked in it
before going to the office he shouted in
glee. He had caught sight of oEe
green sprout. Be looked at it careful
ly to see if it wasn't a stick painted
green, and then his heart was flled
with delight. lie couldn't say whether
the hoo wOulE develop into a corn
stalk or an oak tree, but it had urviv

faith and his waiting, and he was con-

such a change that it appeared to be-

ion. The man came. He had a wise
look ca his face. He bent over the
sprOut with one eye closed. Then he
walked around it with both eyes open.
He looked at the cast on the fences,
tasted of the soil of the garden and
finally struck an attitude and said:

its best to fulfill his anticipatiOns. The

rains made it rear its growing head
with pride. Now and then Mrs. Bow

PROBLEMS OF AIR
NOT YET SOL WE'D
CRAFT UNABLE TO PROCEED
AGAINST WIND
Steering Apparatus Has Been Inn
proved to a Point Where 1t Is Ef-
fective, but Contrary Currents
Remain Serious HIndrance
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct ,6.-zThe science of aerial
navigation, at least in Germany, has
reached point where many of the most
prominent Investigators are asking them
selves in which direction they shall pur-
sue their experiments
The problem of steering is satisfactorily
solved, but there remains the important
question of the conquest of the contrary
currents of air, and this raises the issue
between the advocates of Tighter than
the air." and heavier than the air.
Balloons inflated with gas are generally
regarded here as having nearly IL not
quite attained the final stage of their pos
sibilities which, as Is contended, although
marvellous in comparison with the posi-
tim of nearly five years ago, leaves much
to be achieved before the air can be said
to be mastered.
All three systems-the rigid, the semi
rigid and the flexible-representi re-
spectively the steerable balloon of Count
Zeppelin the German aeronaut, the mill
tary balloon and that of Maj. Won Parz-
val, have been and stin are being tested.
All have given evidence of the fact that
in light winds and otherwise favorable
weather they may be steered and maneu-
vered with great. facility. The greatest
speed attained by any of them, and this
applies also to, French balloons. has not
exceeded in round figures twenty eight
miles and hour, and at that rate in such
a wind they would be driven backward.
Even the Zeppelin, which is credited
with a speed of thirty-three or thirtyfour
miles an hour, would do little more than
hold its own. ,.s..,

HORDES COME
FROM ASIA
IMMIGRATION OF JAPANESE is
MENACE
cooLIE LABoRERs ENTER FROM
NORTH AND SOUTH
Government Appoints Additional In.
spectors in Effort to Prevent
Any Smuggling Across
Borders
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-Immigration
of Japanese In the United States is in
creasing at so alarming a rate that 1t
has been determined to adopt extra
ordinary measures to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into the United States not
only of Japanese. but of other Asiatic
coolie labor.
One result Of the trip of Secretary
Straus has been an increase in the
force of immigration inspectors along
the Canadian border, with view to
controlling the flood of Asiatic imnli-
grafton.
1t is known that more than double
the number of Japanese have come
into the United States thus far in the
year 1907 than came here during the
same period last year. Naturally, the
figures of the government do not in
clude the hundreds of Japanese who
have come into the country surrep-
titiously.
They have come across from the
Canadian and Mexican borders, prin-
cipally, without hindrance. despite the
means adopted by the government to
prevent the introduction Of Japanese
laborers. For many months the gov
ernment has had immigration commits
sioners in Mexico and Canada.
Enter from North and South
In practically every instance the in
spectors have reported that the Japan
ese who reach Mexico or Canada are
bound for the United States. Inquiries
in the Hawaiian islands have revealed
organizations whose business 1t is to
procure Japanese laborers to work in
the United States. They not only pro-
vide the means, but pave the way by
which Japanese may easily obtain en-
trance to this country through Mexico
and Canada.
1t is this sort of opposition that the
government proposes to combat. In the
appointment of what principally con-
stitutes a patrol guard of the northern
and SOUTHERN borders of the country,
Secretary Straus hopes to reduce the
numbers of Asiatics who daily are
coming across the borders in increasing
hordes.
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
tion office show that 1886 Asiatics
landed at the British Columbia ports
of Victoria and Vancouver between
January and September is, 1907. OF
this number 2872 were Hindus, 1911
Japanese. most of the latter reaching
Canada from Honolulu.
The remaining eos were Chinese, who
ilege of landing in Canada The field
of labor in that section of Canada Is
limited and the Investigations of the
United States immigration Inspectors
have shown that most OF the Japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get
into the United States.

lynching in the history of Cumberland
occurred early today. For shooting Po-
liceman August Banner Thursday night
William Burns, negro desperado, was

Only Deputy Sheriff Pendley was at

jail Burns was kicked and shot to death.
Rev. w. c. Hicks did his best to save
the negro and afterward protected the
body until the arrival of Judge A. H.

SAYS UNITED STATES is FAR
BEHIND IN AERIAL NAVIGATION
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-That the govern
ment and the people Of the United States
are tagging far behind the European
countries in aerial navigation is the
opinion Of Maj, Henry B. Hersey. chief
inspector of the government meteoroloSy>
service, who returned to New York after
a year in Spitzbergen, where he has been
assisting Walter Wellman in his effort to
reach the north pole with an airship.
Maj. Hersey left today for Washington
to obtain consent from the government to
take part in the international aeronautic
cup race from st. Louis october 81
ITO these who are familiar with what Is
doing in Europe" he said. ut is SUI 2ris-
ing that the United States does not or
ganize an aeronautic department for its
military service. All the European powers
either have strong fleets of war balloons
or are preparing to build them, and we
certainly cannot afford to neglect the
matter much longer"
