DEATH OF THOMAS M. HUFHAM

Commenting editorially on the
death of Mr.. Thomas NJ. Hufham,
the brilliant and able lawyer-son OF
the Venerable and beloved DIR. Hui
ham, the News and Observer yester-
day said this:
One of the most gifted men in North
Carolina passed away in the pecu-
! liarly sad death of Mr.. Thomas Nj.
Huf6am, of Hickory. He had the
temperament and talent OF a poet,
and was a man OF marked ability.
Atcollege he was known for his pecu-
liar gifts. As a teacher in the years
he was preparing for the bar, he had
q fancination for his students. AS
lawyer he was brilliant and original.
The readers of The News and Obser-
yer and the Charlotte Observer will
recall a number OF articles from his
pen that showed that when he wrote
he produced literature. He had a
style of "pure English undefled."
Mr.. Hufham was a man OF weak
constitution, and was one OF the
frailest of men. Whenever he had
case he poured himself into it, calling
into requisition all his powers.
When it was finished, he was physi-
cally exhausted. The result was a
serious impairment Of his strength,
and resulted in the sad termination
of his life before he had reached mid
die age.
North Carolina mourns today with
his venerable father, Rev. DR.. HUFF
ham, and with his family. The State
has lost a loyal son with the high
est gifts. May he rest in peace.
As HAD already been foreshadowd-
ed would be the case, official an
nouncement is made of the res
ignation of John G. Capers, of South
Carolina, as commissioner of internal
revenue, to take effect September LIST
and of the appointment OF Royal E.
Cabell, present postmaster of Rich
mond, Va, to succeed him. This is
the plum that friends OF Judge Spen-
| GER b. Adams hoped he would land.

subjects considered are published Ia

port them for this purpose) and these
with the written essays and other

Then an important feature of the
book is the advertisements it con-
tains. There are seventeen pages of
advertisements, which adds $165.OO

The Conquest Of the Air.
Asheyille Citizen,

Asheville Citizen.
Had anybody twenty-five years ago
or even ten years ago, ventured the
prediction that an airship would sue
cessfully cross the English channel,
he would have been looked upon as a
fit subject for Matteawan or Belle
vue. While men have been expert
menting with propelled air crafts
for the last few years. Bleriot is the
first aeronaut who has really DONE
SOMETHING.
We would not belittle the efforts of
our own fellow countrymen, the
Wright brothers, but we must give
the Frenchman credit for having
gone from one definite point to
another More than that, he crossed
a twenty-seven mile stretch of chop
Ply sea, being out OF sight of land
and steamer for some time. Bleriot
flew in a practically straight line,
and landed where he wanted to-two
very important points. By way of
illustration, let us state that the
child who can take a few tOddling
steps in circles or in zig-zag lines, has
not achieved near the progress of the
child who moves from door to door
or table to table; the latter has done
something definite. 1t may be that
the Wright brothers will get beyond
the circling stage of aerial naviga-
ton, and sooner or later really go
somewhere, but for the present we
must all take off our hats to Bleriot.
Time was when we firmly believed
that this generation would never see
the flying machine perfected. We ar
gued that if God intended man to fly
He would have fitted him up with
wings. We suppose that former skep-
tics and scoffers SO viewed the tele-
phone, the telegraph and lastly the
wireless system of MarcOni, when their
possibilities were discussed We were
even doubtful about the final outcome
of the Wrights' efforts to conquer
the air, but Bleriot has convinced US.
Unlike our journalistic friend, Wal
ter Wellman, who has been annually
reaching the North pole, without ever
getting there, for the last decade or
SO, the Frenchman, as we have pre-
viously intimated, has accomplished
something.
