DARK HORSE WINS.
Henri Farnaa Springs a Big
Surprise at Rheims
Yesterday.
Frenchman Wins the $4,000 Prize.
Second Money Goes to Latham.
Wright Machine Captures
Fifth Money.

Rheims, Aug. 27.-Farman did not
alight after he had beaten the dis
tance record of Latham, but kept aloft
until he had covered 119 miles. which
he negotiated in 3:04:56 3-5. This
gives him the record for both distance
and duration of fight.
Rheims, Aug. 28.-Henri Farman
sprang the biggest surprise Of avia-
ton week today by flying 100 miles in
two hours and 33 minutes, thereby
beating the distance record made yes
terday by Hubert Latham and winning
the Grand Prix de la Champagne, first
money, which amounted to $4,000.
Farman few in a Farman cellular
biplane, similar to the machine in
which he attempted several flights at
Brighton Beach, New York, some time
ago.
Second money will go to Latham,
with flight of ninety-seven miles
made yesterday. Paulham is third
1873; Compte de Lambert fourth, II;
and Paul Tissandier, another Wright
pupil, who flew in Wright machine,
ifth, thirty-two miles.
There were to have been six prizes,
but no machine qualified for sixth
place.
The flight by Farnham ended the
contests for the Grand Prix de la
Champagne. His victory was wholly
unexpected, as he had taken but little
mort in tho hiohtS of tho week and
was not considered serious contend
er. Farman's average speed was not
as great as Latham's, but his ma
chine behaved splendidly and he was
enabled to keep going" until he bad
surpassed all distance records and
come close to Paulham's record for
time aloft.

HUMAN BIRDS FINED
FOR SPEEDING
The ROadways are Wide Up There, 1t
Is True, But There Have Already
Been Instances of Collisions.

One of the most amusing incidents
of the flying machine races 1T Rheims
was the fact that one of the aviators
was fined for speeding.
This opens up new field for per-
plexity and trouble, at the same time
that it indicates the rapidity with
which our civilization is moving
The aviator in question made an as
cent, cut figure eight and did few
other stunts, in the course of which
he broke several records as well as
the rules of the game.
He was promptly fined twenty
francs and then, in true French style,
congratulated upon having incurred
the penalty.
His friends rallied around him in
great numbers and shook his hand un-
til it tingled.
The automobile speedist has been
in the limelight for a long time, and
the police force has had it's hands
full in trying to keep the mere des-
perate of these drivers within the
limit. ,lAn
But what are the guardians to do il
they have got to watch earth and sky
at the same time, to keep down the
speed fiendS?
The aviators in France looked like
a flock of pigeons and in the near fu-
ture we may expect to see 'the- all
dark with pinions.
The sky, must therefore be proper,
/ ly policed. The more leisurely pas
sengers, out for an afternoon fly, arr
| liable to be greatly Inconvenience
by the speeding aerodromes. The
roadways are wide up there, it is true
/ but there have already been instances
| of collisions, and on the whole public
| sentiment is crystalizing in favor o
speed limit for these human birds

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 3O.-While the
work OF rescue is going forward to-
day in the vast area rayaged bv the
west Indian tornado and it's accom-
panylng cloudbursts, reports CT great
er loss of life keep coming in from
every section of the devastated zone,
making it possible that the death list
Will go to 1000 and perhaps higher.
Upward of 10000 are homeless.
Families are living on roofs of SUBJ
merged houses, slowly starving to
death.
An area of thousands of square
miles, extending west from Matamoras
to Torreon, distance of Sec miles,
and south 400 miles, is practically all
under water. Men, women and chill
dren are floating about on improvised
RATS, masses of debris or house-tops,
without food.
Famine is staring the people of
Monterey in the face. Crops are de-
stroyed. Railroads are washed out.
Bridges have been swept away. Tel
egraph and telephone wires are down.
The river beds are rushing torrents
and everywhere is the sickening sight
OF death in it's most terrible form.
Dead bodies are piled in trenches by
the relief workers as soon as they are
picked from the whirling eddies.
There is no time for Identification, for
pestilence may break out ais well as
famine.
1t is impossible to estimate the
property loss at this time, for the
country is still inundated, but esti-
mates range from $3,OOO,OO0 to s15,-
100000. =
The damage done in the district
stretches from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Vera Cruz is unprecedent-

In the Monterey district alone the
loss of life is believed to have been
more than 1000.

GREAT NATIONAL SNEEZEFEST.
Association for Getting Information
ON Sneezing i'm United States.

Bethlehem, Pa, August 27.-This
noted White Mountain resort just now
is the mecca for sneezers from all
over the land. So numerous are they
in fact that their sneezes can be heard
on the summit of Mt Washington,
some twenty miles distant The
sneezes are of all tones and sizes,
ranging all the way from the false
or "cat" sneeze to the real, robustlous
ker-choo that sends the loosened
rocks rumbling down the hillside.
The occasion of this great assem-
b1age of sneezes and sneezers is the
sixth annual meeting of the United
States Hay Fever Association, an or
ganization with a membership of sew
eral thousands and an eligible list OF
several millions. The meeting was op-
ened today and will last until the
supply of handkerchiefs are ex-
hausted.
The association was formed for the
purpose of getting information on the
subject of sneezing from sufferers in
all parts of the United States. AT the
| annual convention views and sneezes
| are interchanged, and in this way the
members learn how to get the loudest
reports from the least physical effort
The present gathering promises to be
of more than usual interest and i'm
portance to the membership. One OF
the important matters to be decided is
the selection of floral emblem
Many of the delegates favor the wa
ter lily, while many others are par
tial to the onion.
The officers in charge of the con
vention are: President, Samuel A
Harlow, Grafton, Mass; vice-presi
dent, Clayton E. Delmater, Providence
tR. l., and secretary, William M Pat
| terson, New York city. There il
some talk of deposnlg Mr. Patterson
from the secretarysnin. At last year
| meeting, while he was presenting hi
annual report he carelessly sneeze'
) and blew all the minutes of the meet
ing on the floor Before he could re
cover them all the delegates wer
sneezing and the records Of the con
!. vention were waited into anothe
county.

COLORED GRADED SCHOL
Opened Monday With Largest Enroll
ment on Record.

Rev. G. billiard, the efficient and
highly esteemed principal of the
Goldsboro colored graded school, in
forms The Argus that the enrolment
at Mondays opening of school was
4Z4-the largest opening on record in
the long history of the school.
He says the teachers were all
promptly at their posts and that the
children appear healthy and interest
ed in the work before them.
"Parson" billiard expends much
care and constant attention upon
these children and to his influence
and high purpose is due largely the
fact that Goldsboro has the best col
ored population in the South-or the
world.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

Wayne County-Superior Court.
- August 27. 1909.
| Y R. Allen Judge
j y grand jury for this term re-
spectfully submit the following re-
port:
! We have visited and inspected the
condition with the exception of sani-
tation, which, we think, could be much
| improved by having prisoners be made
| to keep more cleanly, as we found
some not only with very scanty and
dirty clothes on, but some very badly
infected with body lice. We also
found insufficient bedding for the in
mates, but have since been informed
that plenty will be furnished to-
night.
VIZ visited the convict camp and
find very good sanitary conditions and
no sickness in the camp. The con-
victs talk and look as though they
are being we'll treated and cared for
We recommend that two-horse scoops
with wheels be used for removing dirt
in road instead of the cne-horse
scoops now in use.
We have visited the county home
and find everything in very good san
itary condition; live stock look as be-
ing well cared for; inmates say they
are treated we'll, we'll fed and cared
for, have good rooms and beds; the
foreman seems to have been doing
some very good work, lands are we'll
cultivated and fine crop on same at
this time. We recommend that larg-
er cook stove be bought, as the one
now in use is entirely too small for
the number of inmates.
We find the court house grounds in
fairly good order. AS to the court
house building, we see needs of i'm
provements in a good many ways, as
there is little convenience for any at
tending court in any capacity, and we
recommend that these improvements
be made on this building unless there
is a probability of getting new
building in the near future.
We find the offices of Clerk of Court
and Register of Deeds in excellent
condition.
