WRIGHT BREAKS RECORD
WITH ONE PASSENGER, FLIES
70 MINUTES AND 40 SECONDS
Covers Over 90 Miles-Average
Speed During Flight 40
Miles an Hour.

Washington.-The worlds aeroplane
record for two men, as to both time and
distance, was broken Tuesday evening
in beautiful flight of one hour, twelve
minutes and forty seconds-upward OF
fifty miles, and at speed averaging
about forty miles an hourly Orville
Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut.. Frank
P. Lahm, of the Army Signal Corps, as a
passenger. The former record was made
last year by his brother, Wilbur, joint in
ventor with him of the machine in which
both achievements were performed, at
Lemans, France, with Prof. Painleve, OF
the French Institute, as a passenger.
That flight was one hour, nine minutes
and thirty-one seconds.
"You just scotched your brothers rec
ord without really damaging it much"
remarked a newspaper man to Orville
after the flight.
That's all we meant TO do" replied
Orville, with smile, which his big
brother approximately duplicated.
The cheering which heralded the set
ting of a new mark in the conquest OF
the air was led by President Taft in
person, who had sat an intensely inter
ested spectator throughout the fight and
who insisted at it's conclusion upon per-
sonally congratulating the brothers upon
their euccess

COTTON NEEDS Rain
IRREGULAR STANDS TEND TO
MAKE THE AVERAGE Low.
Local Showers Beneficial Only in
Limited Area-Boll Weevil
on the Increase.

Memphis, Tenn.-Cultivation of the
cotton crop has now been about COM
pleted and its fate depends entirely upon
the weather, which at present is dry.
Telegraphic reports show that moderate
local rains fell on Friday and Saturday
in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabama They were highly beneficial,
but were not sufficient to relieve the
drouth, as many sections got no rain
at all.
The only section of the cotton belt not
in need of rain lies east of Alabama.
Elsewhere the need with local exceptions
is becoming insistent. The plant has
reached the fruiting stage, and being
small and late needs moisture to pro-
mote both growth and fruiting.
The cotton in central and northern
Texas and southern Oklahoma is fast
losing ground because of drouth. In
Louisiana the weather is favorable, but
weevils are on the increase.
Owing to the irregular distribution of
rainfall for the past month crops are
spotted There is much cotton in all
parts of the South not more than foot
high on this the second day of August.
This fact and irregular stands which are
heritage of the grassy condition of
early summer, makes the average low,
although there are districts with good
cotton.
The plant is stocky, healthy and in a
clean state of cultivation. General rains
would greatly improve the outlook.

Pistols Destroyed.

Meridian, Miss.-A rather novel show
was witnessed on the court house lawn
when twenty-five pistols were destroyed
by order of Judge Buckley. 1t is the
law that when pistols are taken from
persons adjudged guilty of carrying
them concealed, they shall be confscated
and destroyed. They were all smashed
to smithereens with sledge-hammer
welded by muscular negro, under the
direction of Sheriff Moore.

Lexington, Ky.--Jails at Barbourville
and London are being guarded to prevent
mobs from storming them and lynching
four men accused of assaulting two little

vile, having been removed from Pine
vile, where he assaulted s-year-old Susie
Woodward. A mob of 300 men stormed
the Pineville Jail,
AT London three young white men are
held and two others are being searched
for, all being charged with assaulting .

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Charged With Shooting and Seriously
Wounding White Man.

Opelousas, La.-Onzeime Thomas and
Ermile Antoine, negroes, who were being
brought to Jail here by two deputy sher-
ifs, were taken from the officers and
shot to death near Grand Prairie, in this
parish.
Thomas shot and seriously wounded a
white man, Thomas Fontenot, farmer,
of Grand Prairie, near Grand Prairie,
about two months ago. 1t is claimed
that his act was utterly without provo
cation. After eluding capture for many
weeks, it was discovered that he was in
the house of Antoine. Both negroes
were arrested The officers had not gone
far, however, with their prisoners when
the mob met them and riddled the bodies
of the two negroes with bullets.

CAROLINA DRY PRO TEN.
Twenty-One Wet Counties Will Vote on
Retention of Liquor.

Columbia, S. C.-South Carolina has
been added to the fold of statewide pro-
hibition territory, which now embraces
well-nigh all of the Southeastern States.
However, the drought in this State is to
be temporary-unless the voters in the
21 wet counties that are to hold local
option elections on Tuesday, August H.,
declare for perpetual dryness.
Due to the strategy of the prohibition
lists in the South Carolina legislature, the
drys have all to gain and nothing to lose
in the approaching contest. Literally this
State is "half and half" 81 counties be-
ing already in the prohibition camp and
exactly the same number being officially
engaged in the sale of intoxicants under
what is known as the county dispensary

Canton, O.-Tired OF being made a
slave of by the man she married, Mrs,
Tony PAMELA, wife of prominent East
End grover, fired two bullets through his
head, when she found him embracing
Clara Pizzana, his clerk. Death was in
Simultaneous.
Afterwards she turned the revolver on
Mrs. Pizzana. Being too excited to shoot,
she threw it down and seized a large
butcher knife with which she literally
cut che woman to pieces. Later with the
bloody knife still in her hand, she went
to a nearby barber shop where she tele-
phoned the police.
"They got what they deserved. I am
not sorry for my crime," said Mrs. Pa
nella, when taken to central police sta
ton, her dress soaked with blood.
