NOW A TOY FLYING MACHINE.
Suspended by a Cord, It Flies Around
and Around in Circle.

Suspended by Cord, It Flies Around
and Around in Circle.
The latest mechanical toy is, appro-
priately enough, a flying machine.
The toy flying machine has for q
body slender little metallic cylinder
about six inches long and pointed at
both ends. something in the order Of
torpedo boat. Attached to the un-
der side of this cylinder are two little
frames, in each Of which stands a
tiny figure OF a man.
In the after frame is carried also
within little case coiled spring
which runs a tWo-bladed propeller.
This flying machine is not designed
for independent fight, but to be sus-
pended by cord. When you have it
thus suspended and have wound up
the spring you give the machine q
swing out and around in q circle and
It keeps flying SO long as the power
holds.
These toy flying machines don't
cost quite as much as one Of Count
Zeppelin's airships in fact you can
buy nns Of them for 40 cents.

Where There's a Will.

Success Magazine:. A week before
the Christmas holidays a Princeton
undergraduate who lived in Chicago
wished to start home, thus gaining a
weeks vacation on the other stu
dents. He had, however, used up all
the absences from recitation which
are allowed, and any more without
good excuse would have meant sus-
pension. In a quandary he hit upon
this solution; he telegraphed his
father the following message:
Shall I come home by the B. &
o., or straight home?''
The answer he received read:
Come straight home.''
An exhibition of the telegram to
the faculty was sufficient.

Paper From corn-stalks.

= X n
Success Magazine: Uncle Sans busy
chemists in Washington have figured
that cheap paper can be made from
corn-stalks. We have long known
that wrapping paper is manufactured
out Of old rags, that the back fence
can be turned into perfumed and tint
ed stationery, and that newspapers
are made Of primeval forests and
damaged regulations. Now they tell
us that a common rural nuisance Is
an asset-that some day every far
mer can be his own paper trust.
This proposition from Washington
is music to our ears. The disappear
5ance of our forests and the machina-
tions Of the Paper Trust have made
the price of paper soar like a Wright
aeroplane. At the rate we are going
now paper is destined to be beyond
the reach of ordinary mortalspa
per railroads will cost more than real
ones, and paper-soled shoes will be
a luxury which only the rich can en-
Joy. # something isn't done about
it, a day may come when the Sum
day newspaper will be no larger than
the atlas of the world, and magazines
will cost so much to get out that
there will be no room for the adver-
tisements.. 5s
But it seems we are to be saved
from these awful possibilities. With.
every farmer growing cook books and
car-wheels and fire-proof theater
curtains in the vacant lot behind the
barn, there is little danger of world
wide famine in paper.

STANDARD OIL FILES ANSWER To Government Petition
 For Rehearing. REVIEWING JUDGES UPHELD Governments Argument is Answer
 cd Point by Point Answer Says Fine Was Based on Rela- tion of Standard oil Company
 of Indiana to the New
 Jersey Company.
REVIEWING JUDGES UPHELD

Chicago, Sept 10-Counsel for the Standard oil Company, of Indiana, in an aswer filed today to the petition or the governments attorneys for re- hearing of the appeal from Judge Lam dis judgment, lining the company $29, ,240, 900 for violations of the anti rebate laws. upholds the decision Of Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman. of the United States Circuit Court or Appeals reversing the judgment and uplifting the burden of the enormous fine, as good law amply justified by the record in the case.
 Point by point the answer. which was formally placed on record at the opening of the office of the clerk of the court by Gel. w. B. Stewart, general attorney in Chicago fer the Standard oil Company. takes up the argument of the petition for re-hearing which set forth alleged errors and particu- larly suggested that the upper court had erred in its understanding of what the trial judge really had said con- corning the previous offenses by the the Standard Oil Company of New Jer- sey. In the petition for rehearing the the reviewing judges are charged with assuming that Judge Landis attempted to try to punish the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey In the original proceedings, which were against the Standard oil Company of Indiana. On this point, the answer declares 1t to be a matter of no consequence whatever. the trial court referred to the New Jersey Company or the Indiana Com pany as not a virgin offender"
 The Real Point.
 'The real point Is" says the answer, did the trial court in imposing pun shment take into consideration the re- lation between the Standard oil Com pany of New Jersey and the Standard oil Company of Indiana, md did it base it's fine upon the wealth of the Standard oil Company of New Jersey and it's ability to pay instead of upon the wealth of the Standard oil Com pany of Indiana and Its ability to pay"
 To determine this question the Standard oil Company attorneys as- sert that a few sentences extracted by the government counsel from the words of Judge Landis are not suffi- cient and quote at length from Judge Landis opinion to show that he re- ferred to the New Jersey corporation "as the real defendant and the Indi- ana company as the nominal defend ant" The conclusion stated by the an- swer is that the enormous fine infiict- ed upon the defendant was because of the ownership of its stock by the Standard oil Company of New Jersey. and because of the inaci; standing of the latter corporation, is beyond dispute when the entire opinion of the trial court Is considered"
 A large part of the petition for re- hearing, the answer asserts. Is a re- iteration of points which no one dis putes and counsel for the defendant

Birmingham. Sept. 1o-United States Senator Joseph F. Johnston delivered an address at the convention of the United National Association of Post Ofice Clerks today. and Atlantic City was selected as the next meeting place

VOTES SPECULATIVE
CONGRESSIONAL POLL MAY FALL
 BELOW MAY IS.
Estimated That County Tomorrow VIII Return Not More Than 5000 Votes
 --Registering Slowly.

Political wiseacres estimate that Montgomery county will not return more than 5000 votes in the election to nominee for Congress In the Second District will be chosen.
 In the election held May 18th the county returned approximately $500 votes but 1t should be borne in mind that in this election county officials were chosen and the campaign had run through more than a year. It Is not believed that there is as much inter est among the voters as to the selec- ton of a Congressman as there was when county officials were to be nam ed.
 However. there are two candidates for Congress from Montgomery county and the other candidates have done considerable work here. Moreover. the registration books have opened since the May election and there are more eligible voters now than there were at that time.
 Up to yesterday forty-one voters had been registered since the books were opened July 1st. It is safe to say that each of these men will cast ballot as they registered undoubtedly for this purpose. The newly register ed voters are those who have come to the county since the last registration or those who have reached the vot> ing age. gomery county consists of W. A. Haynes. of Grady, and E. F. Taylor and H. K. Watts. of Montgomery. The books are kept at the court house and will be open for registration until Oc- tober 1st It Is expected that num- Der of men will register tomorrow.

continue their attack on the petition by declaring that the government att torneys are mistaken in Aeir interpre- tation of the Armour case. cited in the petition, and in suggestion that the reviewing court Is in conflict with the Supreme Court.
 On the question of knowledge of the lawful rate on the part of the defend ant shipper. which was one of the points on which gree emphasis was laid in the petition for rehearing. the answer asserts that the exceptions of the governments case are based on . misapprehension of the opinion and the record in the case.
 Review Court Justified.
 The exclusion of certain evidence and the question of intent are dis cussed in detail in the answer. which asserts that the reviewi- g court was justified in the ruling which 1t made.
 In conclusion. the answer asserts that the suggestion of the government counsel that t'.e re-hearing granted in order to certify a question to the CT one because there was no division of the opinion among the judges of the reviewing court.
 Copies of the answer of the Standard oil Company were served later In the day on the clerk in the office of the united states District Attorney sims. Under the rules of the Federal judges procedure, the Government attorneys have the right to file a reply to the answer to their petition if they dis cover in 1t new matter which they con- slider needs a rejoinder.
 The answer will be presented to Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman of the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals and will probably be considered hA naN nf " opens October 6. Assistant District Attorney James H. wilkerson said to- day.

 The tragedy is deeply deplored by the citizens of this city. MT. Haynes was very popular man. Brodnax, the de- fendent, is a prominent merchant of this place. and married into one of the prominent families of the county.
 A large crowd assembled in the court house to witness the trial and quite a number of women were pres ent, among whom were the widow and daughters of the deceased.
 The trial consumed but a short time, and Colonel Bricken, Hon. Gaston Gun ter. Alex Pitts. Wiley Hill ano w D. Thetford, the court stenographer, with quite a number of citizens, who had been brought to Hayneville on account of this trial left for their homes on the afternoon train.
