The hop growers in central New
York are obtaining almost unheard-of
prices for this years crop. While
the hops a year ago at this time
were bringing from to IL cents a
pound, the growers are receiving this
week from 32 to 3S1a cents and some
choice lots have brought 35 cents.
Dealers say that never in their expert

and defensive, for warfare in the
air bv the German General Staff
is a certain indication of the con-
viction that air-navigatiOn has
gone beyond sport or experiment
and has become an instrument for
the national defense, upon whose
development many minds are at
work and millions planned, says
Golfers. The constructions pro-
ceeds upon two main lines-the
building of a craft for mechanical
flight capable of carrying several
tons in men and material, and the
preparation of engines for destroy
such craft. The Krupps, whose
business is that of instruments of
destruction, are turning out guns
of two sorts, one for hurting burn
ing projectiles a mile or more
through the air, and another for
throwing shells perpendicular or at
an angle. Naval gunners are at
practice firing at captive balloon
towed swiftly by torpedo boats.
Tacticians in both the military
and naval arms are studying the
utilization of air craft in co-opera-
ton with land and sea forces. The
studies in this direction began
with the idea that for practical
purposes the airship could be used
for observation and reconnisance
only. The whole problem has
widened. The experiments this
summer are not only in the direc-
ton of stable and rapid fight, but
in the arming of aircraft with light
guns for use against other vessels
in the air and in experiments with
the discharge or dropping of ex-
plosives upon docks, warships,
Notifications, arsenals or camps.
The German army steerable craft
the Gross and the Zeppelin and the
privately built dirigible, the Par
seval-are each capable of carry
ing from one to four tons of ex
plosives. Bal1istic engineers are
at work on the problem of direct
ing explosives from airships, anC
the effects of merely dropping then
upon steel surfaces or upon earth
works protecting artillery.
theoretically, ship such as tn
new model Zeppelin, with a radiu
of action of ,426 miles, could ris
from its harbor in lake Constance
proceed to any European port, an
during the night decend close to
Dreadnought and drop ton {
high explosives upon her, keepin
only far enough away to escape tn
evil effects of the explosion. !
Zeppelin can be built in abor
six weeks, provided enough alum
mum frames can be prepared.
Gross or a Parseval can be mad
ready for the air in about fot
weeks when the material factori'
are equipped. The next great Ian
war, should it be deferred FIVE (
even only three years, will in Il
opinion of German military write
see employed a cavalry of the air
scouting, observing, raiding in
the enemy's country, destroyir
a depot or throwing a city in
confusion, and engage into Il
enemys air fleets.

According to Thomas J. Pence in

North Carolina Republican visiting
the National Capital, delivered him.
self in this fashion regarding Repre-
sentative Cowles' force bill recently
introduced in Congress:
Charles Cowles has played hell
with the Republican party in North
Carolina. Just about the time we
thought we had things going good
he comes along and throws the fat in
the fire by introducing an old recon
struction measure that has no earth
ly chance of passing. He has made
a mistake, the damage OF which be
cannot repair. 1t is too late to make
a correction of this error, which
leaves us in a bad hole. Our other
Congressman, Grant and Morehead,
have got too much sense to be caught
in any such trap, and they will never
give their approval to this Cowles
measure, which ought to be repudia-
ted by every Republican in North Car

party carry the State"

ROCKY MOUNT HOTEL BURNED.

Fortunate is the the town that
has good hotels, and doubly unfort-
innate is the burning of one Of these
anywhere. Asheville and Chase City,
Va, close by us, have suffered serious
loss in this way within the year and
Rocky Mount has had a like vista
ton. The Hammond Hotel, which
for a number of years was the most
commodious and leading hotel in
Rocky Mount until the building of
the new Kicks Hotel, was burned at
4 o'clock Saturday morning. There
were about 100 guests in the build
ing and some of them had very mar
row escapes. The building was a
total loss together with most OF the
furnishings. Many of the guests lost
their clothing and all their personal
effects. Loss on building which was
not owned by the person coducting
the hotel estimated at 10000 with
reinsurance Furnishings about 3d.
900 with half insurance.

PROGRESS OF THE AERO
PLANISTS.

The aeroplane is coming along.
The Wright Brothers seem to have
made good in their experiments at
the Fort Myer drill grounds near
Washington Saturday after a num-
Der OF unsuccessful attempts to fly
with their new machine, and another
daring air navigator, Glenn Fl. Cur
tbs, has established a record for the
year by his exploits at Hampstead
Plains, Long Island. The following
particulars are given in the press
dispatches:
Washington, d. c., July 17.-After
many mishaps the new Wright aero
plane today successfully navigated
the air, making che best record for
the Wright Brothers machine, since
the accident last fall. The aeroplane,
guided by Orville Wright, and travel
ing at a speed approximating forty
five miles an hour at height of from
eighty-tive to ninety feet remained in
the air sixteen and half minutes,
when the AVIATOR decided to alight.
having encircled the drill grounds at
Fort Myer fifteen and three quarters
times
The descent was without difficulty,
the place selected for it being on level
ground. At all times the machine
was under perfect control.
Mineola, n. Y, July ia climax
to the aeroplane flights Glenn H. Cur
tbs has been making at Hempst cad
Plains, Long Island, with increasing
success, came today when he sent his
flyer 24.7 miles in fty-two minutes
and thirty seconds and qualified as
the first candidate for the cup offered
by the Scientific American.
This fight is not only Curtis best
but the longest made with aeroplane
in America this year Curtis
rose early and easily and circled the
course in a variety of attitudes which
showed he had his machine we'll in
hand. At times his speed increased
to 10 miles an hour, but the average
Tor the whole distance was % II
miles and hour. At no time did he
rise above 60 feet and most of the
time he sped along within Is or 20
feet of the ground
At the beginning of the twentieth
round he encountered a strong head
wind. and, fearing that his gasoline
would fail before he could make an
other round. he shut off his motor
and descended. After alighting he
found that he still had two quarts of
fuel left enough to have carried him
several miles further.

The Dance Of The younger Set. u
Contributed.

Contributed.
On Wednesday afternoon we accepted
an invitation to the dance given by the
Younger Set, T" knowing that we would
all feel years younger after spending the
evening with these young people who
gave away happiness by sharing it with
Others
The young ladies who gave the dance
"a return to the members of the Dancing
Class who honored them the Friday
evening before) were: Misses Lora Helen
and Geneva Barnes, Eleanor and Belle
Davis, Louise and Elizabeth Jones,
Loucile Brady, Gertrude Swain, Nellie
Rose, Edith Clark, Madeline Moore, Hell
en- Harris and Florence Butler, while
Misses Jessie Harris, Manning and Smith,
did all they could to help their little
friends make their dance success.
The dance was in the armory, (thanks
to Capt. Payne) and the Henderson
String Band furnished the music from
half after eight to half after eleven o'clock.
The chaperons were Mrs. Alexander
Cooper, Mrs. Pryce Jones, Mrs. 0. R.
Smith, Mrs. NJ. J. O'Neil, and Mrs. J. l.
Miller and half the pleasure of the even
ing to the small hostesses, was the de-
lightful way in which their chaperons
assisted them in making their guests
have such "a grand time"
The young ladies had carried rugs to
the armory on which to set the COM
Portable chairs for their chaperons and
all the evening these ladies were treated
as the guests of honor.
The fun began with The Grand March
in which every one present was asked to
take part and several figures of the Cotil-
lion were led by Mr.. T. M. Pittman, Jr.,
in which all who would, danced, as in
the Virginia Reel
Many spectators were present, and
there were twenty couples dancing.
May this dance of the younger Set"
be typical of their lives and if they re-
main as unselfish as they were on last
evening, it will be-

A GEORGIA JURIST SOUNDS A
WARNING.

We are printing this week on the
first page OF the paper under the
heading of "Scathing Indictment, "
an article that needs to be care
fully read and thoughtfully consid-
cred. THE people, through their
lawmakers, should break the shack
les that bind the courts" says a
prominent member OF the judiciary
OF Georgia, in a letter to the editor
of the Atlanta Constitution. After
calling attention somewhat at length
to the many inequalities and inlus-
tees OF the law and the frequent mis-
carriage OF justice through the con-
venient and ever present loophole OF
technicality, this writer says:
II do not see how people can respect
either law or the courts, when both are
so cluttered with inequalities, loopholes,
opportunities and evasion and delay as
TO often put premium upon rascality,
as to often put wings upon the feet OF
the criminal and the oppressOr, and
shackles upon the feet OF those who
would bring them to justice.
''As the last analysis, it is a question
OF the public safety, the community well
fare, the safety and purity OF the institu-
tions upon which rest democratic gov
eminent"
And again this which cannot be
pressed home and emphasized too
strongly:
Sooner or later a house cleaning must
come. Until it is made resOlutely COM
plete, we must expect crime to increase
radically and the threat of anarchy TO
continue to menace the conceptions OF
right and Justice upon which the average
mans ideal are founded"
But when the lawmakers are usu
ually the ones who are afterwards
found in "the conspiracy OF technic-
atty and archaic procedure that
often lays bare the shadow of chaos
and the blight OF injustice upon the
administration of law" as the Con-
stitutiOn expresses it, there is small
prospect that any reform in the laws
may be worked and q change for
the better brought about. True as
the Constitution says the conditions
pointed out and the remedies sug
gested clay solemn obligation upon
the citizen, everywhere, who is not
too timOrous to face situation that
does not improve of it's own accord,
that is recognized and deplored by
the highest authorities in the land,
and that holds sinister possibilities
OF multiplying it's own evils indef-
nitely."
The question is will they be needed,
or will they continue to be ignored
until there shall come a time when
there will ''house-cleaning" of an
other kind, but which will be "reso-
lutely complete sure enough.
ct is with our lawmakers that it
les says the Constitution. but no
more than with the people, who are
responsible for the lawmakers.
