Railway News.

Track laying was completed this
week to Bayou George
The trains have brought in about
Is tons of rail for the Sale-Davis Com
pany this past week. 1t is to be used
in extending their log road.
Pile driving will be completed at
Grants by the last of next week,
when the drivers will be moved here
and begin work upon the dock.
Passengers wishing to go out from
here by rail are taken on the freight
train which leaves every Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday morning, as
far as Youngstown, where they are
transferred to the passenger train.
Track laying will start on this end
of the line soon, extending the same
from the G.. A. l.. Co.'S crossing, at
what is known as Panama City juno
ton, to the terminus, on the bay.
When done freight will be delivered
at the bay shore terminus.
Monday evenings freight brought
in four car loads of freight for Panama
City. Among them was the machinery
and fixtures for the Novelty Works,
which is now being duly installed
in their building. There were also
two car loads of lumber for building
purposes.
A box car has been left at Panama
City Junction, wherein small lots of
freight consigned to this place, or
bay points, is stored until moved by
the owners or hauled by draymen to
the dock for shipment by water. j.
B. Hogeboom or H. H. Mock will
take orders for transferring such
freight.
The first train on the A. & st A. B.
R. r. that arrived at Panama juno
ton last week was manned by j. H.
Darnell, conductor, L. B. Ussery,
engineer, E. G. Gammage, fireman
and Jesse Cooper, fiagman. B. w.
Steele, General Manager, w. F. Nc
Lellan, T. M, and az extra engineer
w. H. Giles, were also on the train.
In reply to inquiries, the PILOT
would state that with the completion
of the track laying to this place, and
the putting on of passenger trains,
the Southern Express will handle the
express business in to Panama City,
and the Western Union Telegraph
Company will extend their lines to
this point. The Bell Telephone Com
pany will also probably extend their
lines to Panama City.

The first installment of machinery
for the Panama City ice plant will ar
rive here on the Tarpon tomorrow
morning having been shipped
from Columbus by way of Appa-
lachicola. Mr. Williams has been
busy this past week in getting stills,
posts, ETC., on the ground for the
foundation of the building. Next
weeks Tarpon will bring the remain
der of the plant, and it's erection will
go ahead as rapidly as men can push
it.

In the contest for sheriff, Allen is
reported to be ahead of the COM
bined vote for the office. 1t is posi-
bic that change may be made in
this total when the Comfy Commit
tee comes to count the votes, and de-
cides upon disputed returns and cleo
tons. Mr. Watts would not have far
to travel to find plenty of evidence
upon which to institute a contest.

St. Andrew.

Capt and Mrs F. A. Witherill en-
tertained Mrs Wright and sons, at an
informal party on Monday evening.
Miss Jewel Booth came down from
Gay on Friday night, visiting friends
here until her return Sunday night.
Lieut. Commander Sheppard and
family leave on todays boat for their
summer home at Walden Ridge,
Tenn.
Capt Bert Ware and Ed Day caught
very fine lot of red snappers in the
bay on Friday last. Some were of
large size.
The schooner Cleo arrived on Sun
day, and as soon as unlOaded pro-
ceeded to st 10, returning from there
this morning.
Mrs Johnston and Miss Merryman
are to start on Fridays Tarpon for
their home at Marinette, Wis. We
trust these very popular ladies will
see fit to return to the Bay country
next winter. Their absence will be
regretted by their many friends.
Mr. McSwaine, of Pensacola, was an
arrival this week to take charge of
the erection Of our ice plant. Some
dissatisfaction is being expressed that
the plant is not to be located in the
village of st Andrew, but OH Mr.
Gwaltneys tract, close to Old Town.
1t would seem that if it were to be
strictly st Andrews plant it should
have been placed where it would have
been easy of access to the residents
of all parts of the town, and to our
fishermen who reside here.
The Monarch, with Capt Lew
Wright, his brother Roy and his
mother, landed at the dock on Sun
day afternoon. The Monarch has
been engaged in handling pleasure
parties and tarpon fishermen for some
time past, having left Miami with a
party on March 26th, which were
taken to Fl Myers. From there they
went to Sarasota, taking out a
party of tarpon fishermen from there.
They left Sarasota for here April
28th. After visiting old friends about
the bay they propose to go west
ward.
According to announcement by Rev
Mr. ROundtree, during his last service
here, the ladies of the Presbyterian
church met at Mrs Kesters, on Mon
day afternoon, May 18th, for the pur-
pose of organizing a Ladies Aid So
ciety in connection with the church.
The meeting was well attended and
officers elected as follows:
President, Mrs Jennie @. Haight.
VicePresident, Mrs. O. H. Kester.
Secretary, Mrs Laura B. Sturrock.
Treasurer, Mrs Bullock.
May 9th there will be another
meeting at 4 o'clock, p. M, at Mrs
Kesters, and on June 10th the meet
ing will be held at Mrs Bullocks home

There is large number of Dothan
carpenters and masOns here at work
this week, and the way they are
erecting buildings shows they are
master builders. Among them are T.
S. BARNES, general foreman, j. w.
Baughman, in charge of masons, and
j. G. Vaughn, Clayton Pelham, w.
w. Rogers, George Holder, l. Law
son, A. j. Morris, Hugh Vaughn, and
j. H. Wadsworth. At present they
are working on the cottages of B. G..
Farmer, w. B. Crawford, and w. S.
Wilson, on First street.

With all this demagogic cutlery
against corporations and corpora
ton men," it is refreshing to see one
mans candidacy for the legislature
urged by his friends on the ground
that she was largely instrumental in
promoting the railroad interests
which are centering" at Panama City.
He is r. L. Mckenzie of that city.
The st Andrews Bay region is as
hungry for development and railroads
now as the rest of Florida was a
quarter of century ago when the
railroad builders were welcome every
where. --TimeS-Union.

Reports by phone state that the re-
turns are in from this county, except
from Wetappo, and they show that
R. L. Mckenzie received $40 votes,
l.. Mckinney 315, and J. A. Matthias
140. This leaves the choice between
r. L. Mckenzie and l.. Mckinney at
the second primary.

School Exercises.

Herewith will be found the program
for the last day of our school. There
was good attendance of the patrons,
and the program was well rendered.
st Andrews is to be congratulated
upon having had the benefit of such
able and efficient teachers as Miss
Payne and Miss Young, and the re-
suit of their teaching is plainly evil
dent in the advancement made by the
pupils.

Master Byrd Farmer, who came
down from Dothan with his father, is
having the time of his life in the way
of fishing. Yesterday morning he
caught several fine trout, one of
which weighed about seven pounds.
To land such fish as this requires
careful handling, but Byrd was equal
to the occasion.

a small gas capacity could never have
lifted the rigid hull of his airship. But
the big Lebaudy balloon first realized
the long unsatisfied dream Of the old
fashioned flexible balloon as perfectly
dirigible air craft.
Ii mounted a motor OF over 20 horse
power-a stronger motor than had ever
before been placed aboard a balloon.
Much careful thought had been given
to the question of steering and the rudder
was not only placed most advantageously
but it was also helped by stationary
planes, As an intuitive anticipation of
Renard's discovery large horizontal
planes were provided for steadying pur-
poses.
Indeed they were not only in the most
efficient position, but they also served to
stiffen the balloon. That feature elm
mated the necessity for a long frame.
the car being not larger than that of a
spherical balloon. Much needless air re-
sistanoe was thus disposed Of.
The ship soon developed great speed
possibilities, but only by the addition OF
the Renard planes at the rear could
the best results be realized. When the
Government later placed orders for the
two new Lebaudys which have since been
constructed, the Patrie and the Repub-
lique. the only improvements made were
to add stronger motors and more spa
cious cars.
In the meantime another big successful
French airship had appeared, all the

and of their own kind When at last
proper motors and transmissions had
heen installed and the right form for the
rudders been decided on. only the addi-
tion OF Renard's stablizing planes, a de-
sciption OF which had just been pub
lished, was needed to make his ship an
overwhelming success.
That greatest discovery OF Renard's
was really very simple. and still no other
experimenter had ever clearly recog-
nized its Importance in driving the ship
at high speed. The discovery In brief
was as follows: At a. certain velocity

the airship. as previously constructed
would begin to pitch 30 violently that its
progress became retarded. Instead OF
piercing the air only with Its bow 1t would
throw more or less its whole broadside
against the wind. Renard found that
simple horizontal planes In the rear would
completely eliminate this trouble.
Santos Dumont's we'll known small
airships were in measure in the class Of
toys and were limited to flights OF about
two hours at the most, Of quite moderate
speed and imperfect in many ways.
Yet they went far to convert the masses
to the idea that airships were after all
not hopeless. But to obtain really prac-
tical results in endurance as we'll as speed
and carrying capacity greater dimensions
were first Of all required.
With Zeppelin they had come as a

as an imitation of SaDtos-Dumont's craft
by his friend NJ. Deutsch de la Merthe,
il got rid Of the shortcomings of the origi-
nal model thanks TO the cleverness with
which it's designer, Mr.. Kapferer. availed
himself OF all the valuable data which
Col Renard had then just given to the
world. Instead of steadying planes
there was row OF gas inflated tubes at
the rear of the bag, serving efficiently
the same end. Renard had himself sug-
gested this idea. He had also planned
the large Renard propeller in front. like

Enough has already been said about
the Zeppelin airship TO point out that
it is decidedly in class by itself Really
II is by far the simplest dirigible be-
cause its principle eliminates at the
outset all those ingenious compromises
by which the inherent weakness OF the
common balloon made into a self-moving
craft had to be overcome. The Zeppelin
improvements concerned chiefly stronger
motors. greater displacement larger
rudder area and the placing of these
rudders. -e

The results on the whole show that
although the actual amount of nutritive
material in raw oyster is small, yet this
material comprises all classes of food sub

Fat and certain mineral salts. Moreover,
the flesh of the oyster undoubtedly con-
tains these substances in a peculiarly
