Manteo, N.

 The inventors, the Wright brothers. who sailed the machine. seemed greatly pleased at the results accom- plished. Only a few newspaper cor respondents, the keeper of the lonely life saving station at Kill Devil Hill, and a native here and there, witness ed the trial
 The first flight made was in Il stralghtaway course and the alrship sped gracefully along the route map ped out for lt for three-quarters of a mile. Then followed an effort of more serious pretentlons, the aero plane this lime making a complete circle and covering disc of approXi- mately three miles. Both times the machine was apparently under the most perfect control and in every move appeared to respond to the guiding efforts of the two aeronauts.

CURRENCY'S FATE DECIDED TO-DAY Final Vote on Vreeland Bill Will Be Taken in House
 Late This After
 noon.
PASSAGE LOOKS POSSIBLE
One Amendment Will Be Allowed to Measure as Drawn by Rcpub- llcan Conference Com
 mlttec.

Washington, May 13.-At 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the house will vote on the Vreeland currency bill. The best Information indicates that the bill will be passed by a small majority
 When the house meets tomorrow a resolution or order will be reported from the committee on rules in sub stance as follows:
 That the bill be taken up for consld- eration and passage that amendments be limited in number to one; that gen. eral debate proceed until 4.SO D. m. the time being divided between the tive sides of the house; that at 4.S0 the bill be voted on.
 Resolution will be adopted upon ex. tension of the rules by a roll vote which is not expected to disclose the real strength of the republican lnsur- gency, for while several of the insur- gents undoubtedly will vote against the rule in order to give consistency tC their past attitude and subject action and others of them will vote for the rule out of party spirit and a desire to bring the whole controversy to an Is, sue. It is to be expected that the democrats will vote solidly.
 Mir. Williams, minority leader, de. clared to-day in an interview that he does not propose to walk Into any trap.
 The Fowler bill" said Mir. Williams has been reported to the house by a majority vote of the banking and cur rency committee and Is thereby prop erly before the house for action, The bill which bears my name has not the same parliamentary standing before the house, for the reason that it was reported from the minority of tha, committee. ] do not propose to be placed thus trlckily in the position of gratuitously affrontlng the republican friends of the Fowler bill by offering a minority bill as an amendment which would be voted by away. If we are permitted to offer any substI. tute it will be the Fowler and not the Williams bill.
 Word got abroad to-day that some of the insurgents were willing to cast their vote for the Vreeland bill fl there should be eliminated from fl the government guaranty clause. A tentative compromise was thereupor offered. to the effect that those fir charge of the bill would consent tc the insertion of the words "or othe, securities approved by the secretar, of the treasury" as an alternative guaranty basis for emergency cur. rency. This proffer was rejected.
 As the leaders have Issued strict cautions, for all members to be ir their seats tomorrow at noon. 1t ls expected that the heaviest vote oi the session will be cast on the yree. land bill.

Bring Your Cotton Seed.

We have closed down our
ginneries for the season because
there is no more cotton to gin.
We are paying $50 per ton for
good, sound, dry cotton seed,
delivered at our mill.
To those who do not care to
sell their seed for cash we are
offering a strictly high grade
meal in exchange. Our rate of
exchange at the mill is 1900 lbs.
of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of eachS 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition OF meal, it is safe to
assume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, what.
ever excess above 800 pounds OF
meal the fa7per gets in exchange
| for a ton ofseed is so much clear
profit to him in comparison with
using the ton of seed directly al
a fertilizer. You can readily SET
that by exchanging your seet
with US you realize nearly 10'
per cent on the transaction.
Bring your seed to us and no
make the mistake of gettin.
inferior meal elsewhere in ex
change.
Our meal is open for inspec
ton. Samples sent on applica
ton.
