1t is reported from Moundsville, in the
state named, that one, giving the name of
Rev. j. r. Fitch, a pastor in the Church
of god, who had been conducting a rather
strenuous religious revival in the place
mentioned, has been sent to Jail for sixty
days upon being proved guilty of failing
TO support his wife and family. The in
Jured wife brought suit which resulted in
a criminal prosecution. Her witnesses, and
herself, all testified that the parson was
in the habit of clandestinely visiting sa-
looms and spending the money he should
have given to his family in the 'aguadi-
ente" that taketh away the sense and
reason of men. During the trial, it is re-
ported, Fitch neld the bible in his hand
and took especial pains to let the court
know that fact by holding it up to pubic
view with every gesture made. His pro-
fession and his bible were expected to
work charm in his favor, but they didn't
The effort to divert justice by religious
sham was foled Despite his sanctimonious
pretensions he was found guilty of tle
offense charged, ana being unable to furnish
a bond for guarantee of furnishing his wife
and children with grub, he was marched
off to Jail amid the jeers of the crowd that
had attended the proceedings in court.
From this may we learn much that is of
real benefit. The bible is no longer a
fetch to terrify The parson is no longer
superior being. His religion is powerless
10 save him from just fate Piety does
not constitute an apology for justice. In
this instance the parson professed the
former but the courts handed him a suffi-
cient dose of the latter. Now that he has
got both he may learn to do better and be
capable of realizing that others have rights
which even parson is bound to respect.

Like painted leaves upon a delicate

and moved forward almost stealthily.
He walked cautiously about the build

prowled up to the window and tried
to look in. Once as he stood there a

him, he moved away.

FLYING MACHINE A SUCCESS.
orvile Wright Remains In Air Sixty
Two Minutes.

Orville Wright, in three phenome-
nal flights at Fort Meyer near Wash
ington, last Wednesday, established
new aeroplane records that not only
assure the success of the official trials
before the army board. but indicate
that aerial flight is now only a matter
of development.
Two flights of approximately an
hour each, another flight in which
two men whrled through the air for
upward of six minutes, were the
achievements of the Wright brothers
aeropane today. The first flight made
this morning, in which the machine
circled the drill ground at the fort So
times in 81 minutes and 81 seconds
was surpassed this evening when
flight of 62 minutes and Is seconds
was made.
Not satisfied with breaking all dis
tance and time records for a heavier
than-air machine, Mr.. Wright took
Frank P. Lahm, the aeronaut of the
signal corps, for spin around the
drill grounds, making a new record
for a two-man flight. Among the

BAUER TELLS OF THE FLOOD.
found Conditions In the Wateree Very
Bad Indeed.


Mr.. ]. w. Bauer, section director Of
the weather bureau, has gone into the
upper part Of the state on a trip of
inspection of the damage caused by the
recent floods. From Camden yester-
lay he writes the State:
"In 1886, when the Wateree river
reached it's previous highest water,
IN old settler congratulated a heavy
'oser by the flood that he would be ex-
>mpt for twenty-five years as these
visitations came not oftener than once
n that period. The old settler was
mistaken, for in a few months another
'rnshet occurred with almost as high
water and two years later another
freshet swept the valley with, however,
not so much water.
"The old settler was right in the
main. for after 1888, thirty years were
practically exempt, except for moder-
lte floods, that inundated only the So
allied bottom lands and not harming
the slightly higher and very fertile
second bottoms 1t may be that each
generation shall be called on to pay It's
'ribute of toll and labor to the fury
f the flood, lest we forget
THE sweep of the waters must have
been terrific down the fertile valley Of
'he Wateree. In the main channel the
waters were loaded with whole trees,
'ogs that were seemingly too large for
'oggers to handle but which, in the
rush Of the current, were borne along
as lightly as bubbles. Their lightness
was illusory, for when the water had
risen to the bed of the tall bridge, these
same logs became resistless battering
rams, before whose onslaught the
structure moved off its piers as feath-
er in a gale.
1T is said that this flood demonstrat-
ed to a number of planters that they
owned river lands that they knew
not.
ITO determine the full extent Of the
damage done by the flood would re-
quire a census of every person own
ing, leasing or cropping lands on each
side Of the river, a task that has not
been done, and will not, making 1t nee
essary to estimate from the known to
the unknown. A careful interview with
many, and it Is believed. the principal
losers in the vicinity Of Camden, in
which exaggerated losses were careful
ly eliminated by the gentle art of SYM
pathetic squeezing out the truth alone,
and by comparison with the area af-
fected by these interviews to the total
area flooded, leads me to the belief
that the losses in Kershaw county will
amount to not less than $150,0O0, and
not over 100000. These comprise all
the items as formulated under the
Watson Bauer plan Of flood damage
reports. This is a very conservative
estimate the wild ones running up to
$4,000 and optimistic ones to about
100000.
"A careful measurement by the riv-
er observer, Mr.. w. c. Brown, and by
comparative measurements made by
others. at its highest stage reached the
unprecedented heights Of 39.7 feet at 3
D. m. of August 26, 1908. The date and
time are given so that persons down
the valley may use the data to deter
mine the rate of flow of the crest Of
the flood so that they may in the fu-
ture make provision accordingly"

To Be Concluded.

A ROLLING PLANT.-Curious among
vegetable growths and one which is
seldom seen of men is the rootless cac-
tus of the California desert. This
plant, a round, compact growth, rolls
about the level floor Of the desert for
some eight or nine months of the year,
tossed hither and yon by the winds
which blow with fierceness over all OF
California's sand plat during those
months.
At the coming of the rains, or rather
the cloudbursts, which sweep the de-
sert in its springtime, this cactus takes
root wherever it happens to have been
dropped by the last wind Of which 1t
was the plaything and Immediately be-
gins to put out all around it small
shoots, which in turn become cacti.
exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in size
rapidly. sucking the moisture both from
the parent plant and from the SUI
rounding earth. The roots do not pei
citrate the soil deeply but spread Of
ten over a circle whose radius is not
less than ten feet. These roots, too,
are small. but practically innumerabe,
and they get every bit Of moisture ard
plant food to be had in the Territory
they cover-Technical World.

MINT IN ICED TEA.-If housewife
has not tried serving sprigs Of mint in
glasses of iced tea for luncheon or sup
per, she wants to experiment with 1t
at once.
1t gives a refreshing flavor to the
drink. The stems and lower leaves are
crushed between the fingers and then
dipped into the glass after the crushed
ice has been put in.
A glass should be filled with this
crushed ice, which is a far better meth
cd than breaking off Jumps Of ice and
letting them swim around in the tea
After the glass is filled. two slices Of
lemon are slightly crushed on top OF
the ice and then boiling hot tea is
poured over
The method that some housewives
use Of making the tea in the morning,
pouring it into a pitcher and putting 1t
into the refrigerator for the day is now
discarded by those who do not want
the unhealthful effects that come from
tea that has been standing over a half
hour.

spectators were members of the cab
met and high officers Of the army and

spectators were I1eIIlDeTS VI the Sdp-
met and high officers of the army and
navy.
The morning flight was witnessed
by only handful of enthusiasts, but
fully a thousand people gathered to
see the afternoon event.
At SIG, as the sun was disappear
ing below the Virginia horizon, the
acroplane rose grandly into space and
sailed over the greensward of the
drill grounds. Higher and higher 1t
rose, turned at slight angle as the
aviator brought it around at the far
side Of the field and along at increas-
ing speed. There was hardly a culver
of the aeroplane in the first few
rounds of the field. Round after
round the machine travelled on, cut
ting short turns and shooting along
the Stretches The aviator paid little
heed to the crowd below, until, hav-
ing broken the record Of 81 minutes
this morning, the crowd raised a
cheer that told him Of his new achieve
ment. Then Mr.. Wright waved his
Acknowledgements.
Before the flight, watch was tied
to the seat next to Mr.. Wright, and
when he saw that he had stayed aloft
for over an hour, the time required
in order for him to fulfill his contract
with the government, he made for
Mother Earth" Swooping down in
sort Of bump the bumps" fashion,
the machine bore down in the direc-
ton of the crowd, which quickly
scattered. Raising a cloud of dust as
it slid along on the skids, the aero
plane, which weighs nearly a thou
sand pounds. came to a stop within
twenty feet Of the crowd.
AS Mr.. Wright stepped from the
seat and removed his goggles, he was
greeted with lusty cheers.
Lieutenant Selfridge, who operated
the first successful aeroplane Of the
Aerial Experiment association, at
Hammondsport, n. Y, was the first to
congratulate Mr.. Wright. Secretary
Metcalf of the navy; Secretary of
War Wright and numerous army and
navy officers, together with enthusi-
asts from every walk of life, gathered
about him to grasp his hand. AS
three cheers were given, Wright"
calmly gave orders for replacing the
machine on the starting track to pre-
pare for another flight.
Turning to Lieutenant Lahm, one Of
the leading aeronauts Of the army,
Mr.. Wright said: How would you
like to go up with me?" 1t was an
invitation that needed no repetition.
With the two men, Mr.. Wright and
Lieutenant Lahm, in their places, the
start was made at SAP, the machine
rising from the ground as
easily with its increased burden as 1t
had with only the inventor aboard.
AS it sped along the road bordering
Arlington cemtery, it came in a di-
rect line between the onlookers and
the full moon, serving to recall the
famous work Of Jules Verne, "a Trip
to the Moon"
AS the machine completed the first
round, the motor skipped" on one
cylinder; but on the succeeding five
trips there was no evidence that the
engine was overtaxed by the great
strain imposed upon it. After the
sixth lap, a beautiful landing was
made within 100 feet of the aerial
garage" where the machine Is shell
tered from the elements.
Mr.. Wright, as usual, displayed no
emotion, but Lieutenant Lahm was
most enthusiastic.
