STUDENT FLIES AEROPLANE
Several More Are Learning the Art
at Amherst COLLEGE,

AMHERST. Mass. Dec. Sin a
shire Hills Abraham Mitchell. .Jr., of
Riverside, ILL.,. took his first airship
flight. Young Mitchell, who is a stu
dent at Amherst College and is one of
the assistants of Professor David
Todd. who proposes to study Mars
from balloon. had dubbed together
with his college mates and bought a
biplane glider. They took the air craft
to the summit OF POlluy Hill, one OF
the neighboring mountains.
After cutting away the bushes and
picking a course that would be the
least dangerous in case of accidents,
the Amherst aerOnauts adjusted the
bipiane. Weston Whitney Goodnow
of New York was the first student
10 test the machine. Kicking and
swaying. he made a flight OF few
hundred feet down the mOuntainSide.
Young Mitchell was the next man to
sail the craft. When he got away the
breeze was blowing a small gale and
the light machine was taken at a rapid
rate down the steep incline.
This was the first attempt to use
the airship. and it proved to be very
satisfactory. A half dozen trips were
successfully made. and several others
met with amusing mishaps en- route
To learn to use the biplane glider
requires much patience and a few
falls. bat the Amherst students de
c!ared tonight that it is not more
dangerous than learning to ride a
bicycle. Skill however. they say, will
come only with constant practice, and
Mitchell and his fellow air navigators
are planning to build their own air
ship during the winter.

Mr.. Morris Cotton.

Uncle Gid Morris was in the city
Wednesday and here is one of the
interesting things he said about his
brag patch of cotton:
Mr.. John B. Broadwell and h is
son-in-law, Mr.. Cantrell Reese, of
Milton County, the Cotton Kings
of Georgia, were down to see my
cotton yesterday. | was not at
home and failed to meet them for
which | am very sorry. Mr.. VIM.
Moss, a man living on the place,
showed them the cotton and they
examined it thoroughly and gath
cred from the field some fine
samples, and they acknowledged
that | had them beat, but left word
with Mr.. Moss that it would be my
last time.
When Mr.. Moss told me that
Mr.. Broadwell acknowledged that
| had him beat, then, like Alander
of old, sat down and wept.
My wife asked me what ! was cry
ing about. | told her that | had
beat Mr.. Broadwell on cotton, and
l had no one else to conquer.
She called my attention TO the
challenge of Messrs. Jeff Hardage
and John Cheney for the hundred
dollar prize for the best acre of
corn for 1900. l told her that /
considered those fellows such easy
marks that / thought it surely a
great waste of time to wait an
other year on their account. Then
I sat down. and wept some more.

JUDGE Fires" JURY
BECAUSE OF VERDICT
Acquittal of Alleged Blind
Tiger did not Please
Judge Morris.

Judge Morris fired" jury Tues
day afternoon. It was on account
of a verdict in the case of State
against Austin Dunn charged with
conducting a blind tiger.
Judge Morris is anxious to rid
the city of blind tigers and be CO.
operated with Sheriff Mckinney and
his deputies and Chief Williams in
the recent raids.
Tuesday the first of the prisoners
arrested was put on trial and the
prosecution thought it was a sure
conviction.
The jury retired about ten o'clock
and remained out until four in the
afternoon when the twelve men
came in with a verdict of not
guilty."
Judge Morris looked surprised
and called to the official stenogra-
pher.
Mr.. Anderson he said, come
up here"
Without moments hesitation
the Judge dictated an order dis
charging the jury. Then turning
to the jurors said:
Gentlemen, you are discharged
from further service"
The jurors who were so summari-
ly discharged were: J. A. King, w.
P. Brown, F. M. Worley, Frank
Hardeman, T. R. Benton, R. L.
Pylant, w. B. Blair, S. J. Baldwin.
N. G. Whitfield, J. P. Phillips and
D. T. Baker.
The discharge of the jury created
sensation around the court house.
Judge Morris order was as follows:
The State Cobb Superior Court
VS.. No. 100
Austin Dunn March Adjourned
Term, 1909.
The defendant in this case was
put upon trial. Henry Baldwin
testified positively that he purchased
whiskey from this defendant on
different occasions, within two years
before the finding of this bill of in
dictment, in the county of Cobb.
Will Bryant, another witness
for the State. testified that he saw
Henry Baldwin buy the whiskey on
one of the occasions testified to by
Baldwin, and saw him pay the
money for it.
Neither one of these witnesses
were impeached, and no attempt
was made to impeach them.
The defendant offered no evil
dence, but made a statement in
his own defence in which he denied
making the sale.
An effort is being made on the
part of the officers of this court to
break up the illicit sale of whiskey
in Cobb county, which seems like
has broken out in every corner.
1t is impossible to get the, best
citizens of the county to testify COM
corning these matters for the reasonN
that they do not visit or patronize
blind tigers" If the iuries will
not act upon positive evidence when
it stands unimpeached, it simply
means the licensing of various par
ties to sell whisky contrary to law.
The jury in this case under the
above state of facts, saw proper to
return verdict finding the defend
ant not guilty.
This jury is discharged for the
term.
This September 14th 1909.
N. A. NORRIS.
Judge Superior Courts, B. R. c."
Dunn was tried on second in
dictment Wednesday morning and
was acquitted, the witness against
him being impeached.
On a third indictment he was

indictments against him. He has
not yet been sentenced in the case
in which he was convicted.

one of the most beautiful public build
score Of workmen have been laying
out the grounds which surround it, and
thes task is by no means yet completed.
There will be broad expanses of lawn,
with walks and roadways and shade
trees. On the main floor of the college
is large rotunda, here a bust of Napo-
leon occupies a conspicuous place. The
groined arches of the ceiling cannot be
excelled. On the left is a long chart
room, lined on all sides with large, STEEL
ire-proof chart cases. At one end few
draughtsmen may be seen at work, prob
ably copying the precious plans of some
foreign port, or the channels and ap-
proaches to a foreign stronghold There
are maps also of every city of any size
in the United States. The water supply
sourcesI and the public lighting places
are conspicuously marked on these. In
the event of a general riot, where a mob
might attempt to secure control of the
city and it is necessary to call in the aid
of the government troops, these maps
would be invaluable, for the water sup
ply and the lighting places are vulnera-
BILE spots and the first to be protected
from lawless mobs. Three sets of these
maps are made. In case of a riot of
large proportions, these maps are dis
tributed, one to the chief of police of the
city, one to the commanding officer of
the state troops, and one to the officer
in charge of the federal troops. Guards

exactly that result had been planned at
the War College.
The plan of mobilization, of trans
portation, and of landing at different
points along the shore had been mapped
out in detail. Provision for food and
supplies was perfect. Everything moved
like clockwork. That was the first time
the War College and the general staff was
called upon to prove its worth-and they
proved 1t. The American public did not
realize what was going on. Correspond
ents focked to Havana and chronicled the
doings Of Secretary Taft and the leaders
of the opposing Cuban faction. And sud
denly the whole threatened revolution
was snuffed out as completely as though
1t had been a single candle 1t was sim
ply matter Of overawing the natives of
demonstrating to them in a forcefuI man
ner that the United States was master Of
the situation and would spank any little
native generals who aspired to become
revolutionary leaders-but the demonstra
ton had to be quick and prompt and
thorough. Without careful preparation
this would have been impossible But the
War College was ION the Job"
All PLANNED Beforehand.
Prior to the sailing of the great Ameri-
can feet on its trip around the world
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
and many high officials of the Army and
Navy visited the War College and planned
the cruise in its every detail Then. when
everything was ready. the orders to take
on ammunition and supplies and coal were
issued at various points and the great
armada concentrated at New York and
sailed away. Cnce on the move there
was no let up, no hitch-the entire pro-
gram was carried through with a precis-
lon that astonished the world.
And so the game of war is being PLAYED
daily in Washington-war with japan,
with England. with Russia, with the King
Of the Fiji Islands, for all the public
knows.
In addition to being a place where cam
paigns are planned and provisions made
for the future. the Army War College is
also one of the most exclusive educational
institutions in the world. 1t is a culmi-
nation OF the educational system Of the
Army, and Is a training school for candi-
dates for the general staff. There officers
receive their final training In the duties
OF higher command. No young lieuten-
ants imbibe at this font of military wis
dom. Only seasoned veterans and those
who have proved themselves the brainiest
Of their fellows are hidden to enter its
walls and drink deep of the knowledge
that flows there like a perennial spring.
Its students are selected by a process
Of elimination. All graduates Of West
Point go to the Garrison School, and then
to the service school as they progress in
rank. But none but the brightest go to
the War College. At the head of the
faculty, which necessarily changes, as do
all commands in the Army, is Brigadier
General William W. Wotherspoon, a mem
Der Of the general staff, whose honorable
service is long and brilliant He Is
man Of brains, a man who has won blood
less battles by his planning and strategy,
as well as bloody ones when 1t came to

What became Of the old clippers? one
might ask. Davy Jones has claimed them
all with the exception of two or three
which have been cut down into coal
barges or had their rigs changed, and
Davy has his eye on them.
Fine Ships I'm Use.
There are, however, a number Of fine
sailing ships in use and while they are
not the clippers of the old days some Of
them now and then make voyages in re-
markably short time. The British ship
Glendoon, in February last, arrived in
New York from Cape Town in SO days,
averaging about 200 miles each "a hours.
The Glendoon is one Of the modern craft
built to carry a good-sized cargo, only
some consideration was given to her
model, and speed as a factor was not
entirely overlooked. She is of steel and
was launched in 1894. Unlike most of
her class, she has no donkey engine on

board and she carries a crew Of q men
all told.
Although it has been a decade since a
American shipyard, vessels of this type
are being built every year by the British
and Germans, who find them adaptable
for trading to the Orient
Indeed the Standard Oil Company main
tains fleet of several fine ships Of for
eign build, which carry case oil from New
York and San Francisco to the Far East,
and though for trans Atlantic freighting
this company is using tank steamers and
barges, the sailing ship yet proves to be
more economical on the long voyages.
That the sailing ship can be made to
pay is best illustrated by these vessels
sometimes making voyages of several
thousand miles in ballast. Such a per-
Torrance on the part of a steamer would
mean a loss so heavy that it would figure
up to a considerable extent on the wrong
side of the ledger.
There is little doubt but what the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal will sound
the deathknell of the long voyaging sail
ing ship, for with the Western Hemisphere
cut in two and the distance from New
York to the Far East greatly shortened,
the steamer will cut out its competitor
as it has done in the transatlantic bust
ness
One Of the finest of all the American
ships, and one of the last of the wooden
square-riggers to be built in this country,
now lies at San Francisco and her owners
are debating whether they shall continue
her as a ship or cut her down to a coal
barge.
