THE WRIGHT FLYERS.

Are we going to hy?" asks The Chattanooga Times. We'll. maybe you are. but take a friendly tip and be sure that your wings are on straight. And speaking of flying. 1t must be admit ted by the most sceptical among us that the Wrights seem to be getting very much up in the air with their machines. and staying up there in way to break the record. whether. as some enthusiastic aviators claim. this means that successful and safe navi- gation of the air Is certain in the near future remains yet to be demonstrated by continued experiments
 The recent successful experiment made by orrville Wright. The Times comments. lis regarded by experts as we'll as layman as having made at least the primary solution of the navigation of the air. The machine used by the aviator fs of course not adapted to commercial or military uses. but 1t has demonstrated that the principle on which 1t is operated may be utilized through future developments for prac- tical purposes and be made of vast im- portance as q means of transportation. The Wright brothers have kept the scientific principle they have invoked in the making of their machine a se- cret, but having demonstrated It's soundness and availability in navigat- ing the air, they will have no dihiculty in realizing the fortunes they will de- mand before making It public"
 And so 1t may be that all of us are going to fly. if we have the price and the nerve We are free to confess that we have never felt at all enthusiastic on the subject of flying. We are So constantly reading of the accidents and disasters that happen to all kinds of aerial machines that we have not been able to get up and hold much confi- dence in that sort of locomotion. Still. as we have often said, t Is not safe these days to say that anything cannot be done so maybe The Times man is going to fly and will have company in

THE nrrrrKA PLAN.

The Advertiser hopes that the hold ing movement recently inaugurated at ttopelika. to secure cooperation for the farmer from the commercial in- terests of his own State to enable him to market his cotton to his best ad- vantage. will succeed. It would ap- pear that the plan conceived and in- augurated at opelika by the leading farmers and business men of that com munity is the most feasible which has yet been proposed, to help the farmer avoid the results of a flooded market. It appears fair and just because 1t pro- tects the interests of the farmers creditor. and justice would require that a farmer in holding his cotton should consider the interests of the man to whom he was indebted and especially to those who had advanced him money on the promise to be paid on certain day
 The opelika plan contemplates bring ing into cooperative harmony the far mers and the commercial interests of the State. It contempiates having the business men of Alabama advance so per cent. of its value on all cotton held for a rise in the market The plan would have two advantages. In the first place the creditor would not be compelled to suffer and in the second place the business of the South would not be congested.
 Several plans for the wholesale hold ing of cotton have fallen through be- cause the promoters were either im- practical or they refused to look at the practical and common sense side of the issue.
 The farmer who has received ad- vances throughout the year on the dis tinct understanding that he was to pay on october 1, or october Is. has nec- essarily been handicapped In joining a general movement. Nor would it have been fair or just for him to hold at the expense of his creditors. A plan co-operated in by the business men of Alabama under which an advance of SO per cent. on the value of the cot ton Is made, would not sacrifice the creditors interest, nor would 1t con- gest business. On the other hand il might relieve the agricultural inter ests of the State from the effects of the old-time way of putting the entire cotton crop on the market in two or three months

WHAT IS IT.

This old earth seems to be getting in bad way from some cause or oth- CT. Whether the trouble is physical, moral natural or artificial. or wheth- CT 1t is all of these combined we are not saying, but certainly the times are out of joint. It looks as though man and nature are working together to bring trouble and suffering to the human family.
 Every newspaper that we take up tells of catastrophies and disasters in all parts of the world from natural causes. There are floods in some places, inundations in others. great and destructive fires in others, death deal ing accidents to ships and other ves- sells, buildings falling and killing and wounding scores and hundreds of hu- man beings. and so it goes on in every portion of the habitable globe The record of human life lost and human beings injured by what may be called natural causes is continuous and ap- palling. No country escapes its share of anliction and suffering.
 But even this Is not enough, for it is but small part of what the news of each day reveals. Depraved and criminal human nature daily adds largely to the harvest of death and the total of human suffering. On ev- cry side we read and hear of murders and assassinations, of criminal indul- gence and of every variety of lawless- ness and disregard of peace and or der. Men and women kill each oth CT on the slightest provocation, or take their own lives without apparent cause Robbery. burglary. entertainments and almost every other form of wrong -do- | ing can be read of in any newspaper we take up, and there seems no limit to 1t.
 Is the world getting worse. or is there something in the operations of N'iS AoSoAo al SohoASAOhS SCtiHS oH nu- man beings? Are crimes and misfor- tunes becoming more common and widespread. or do we just imagine il because we can now get news from all parts of the world in such short time Is there more of 1t all. or Is it that we only hear all that occurs? Some thing must be wrong with old earth or else we are just hearing more of what occurs.

BUILDING OF HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN
 DELAYED

The City Council has again been the cause of delaying the building of our much needed High School. Numerous criticisms were heard throughout the city when 1t became known that the Council had permitted itself to be placed in a position where one man could defeat the holding of the elec- tion on September 21.
 There seemed to be opposition 10 some of the bonds to be voted on. but the School Bonds should have been-and There was no chance for a conflict on the issue, as the sch ool, hospital. wharf and water works bonds were to be voted on separately. The City Council should repair the mistake at an early date, and it Is to be hoped that some member of the Council will take enough interest in this import ant need to see that the election for School Bonds is speedily brought be- fore the people in legal shape.
 Two years ago the voters of Mont gomery authorized the issuing of the School Bonds. but for some unaccount- able and inexcusable reason the cleo ton was held one day earlier than the date advertised. and the attorneys for the purchaser declared the bonds in- valid. This time the Council, for some unaccountable reason. waited un- til the last moment to appoint the election managers. Action was defeat ed by the objection of one man.
 We heard a great deal about school improvement in the last city campaign. Are the pledges made at that time to be redeemed? The husbandman walt eth for the precious fruit of the earth. and hath long patience for it.

Toxed From Head to Foot

tics, the orbits of all the planets are nearly circular. the orbits of comets present great variety of eccentricity
 The astronomer Tycho Brahe dis covered that comets are celestial bodies extraneous to our atmosphere. while Sir Isaac Newton demonstrated that their movements are subject to the same law which controls the planets In their orbits.
 Haley first proved the periodical re- turns of comets. this scientific achiev- ment robbed the comet forever of its significance as portsnt. When the course which would bring 1t at stated times within the vision of the earth ious sign in the heavens, placed there with some special meaning.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
 HELP THE PARTY

H6LE AANA The Advertiser appeals earnestly to the Democrats of Alabama to come to the aid of the party's Campaign Fund. This seems to be a Democratic year The party is harmonious and well or- ganized. But money Is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the party for funds. Other States are responding lieerally. Alabama Democrats must not be slow. If every Democrat in the state would give s1 1t would help nightly.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do its part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- ceasingly to secure the money.
 Let every beat in the State orga- nize. Every white man in every beat should be solicited. Tho Advertiser will receive the money and forward 1t to the National Committee.
 The campaign fund received by The Advertiser to date Is as follows:
