REAL FLYING MACHINE.

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 12.-The
Telegram published the following to.
day:
Working quietly, away from the
scenes Of public controversies, and
with the eyes Of aeronauts busy in
other fields. Wallace e. Tillinghast
vice president of the Sure Seal Man
ufacturing Company, corner of Fos-
ter and Commercial streets, has in
vented, built and tested what he says
Is an aeroplane capable of carrying
three passengers with a weight limit
Of 200 pounds each a distance of at
least 800 miles without a stop to re-
plenish the supply Of petrol and, if
necessary, at a rate of 120 miles an
hour
Mr.. Tillinghast states that he has
gone in his areoplane to the Statue
of Liberty near New York city, then
to Boston and back to the starting
point without alighting. Another
part Of this trip is still more won
derful. Mr.. Tillinghast says that
when enar Fire Island, one Of the
cylinders Of the flyer ran irregularly,
SO the motor was stopped, with the
machine 1000 feet in the air, and
sailed 46 minutes, while two mech
anics repaired it in mid-air, the en-
gine being started again when the
aeroplane was near enough to land
to be seen by a member of the life
saving crew patrolling the beach.
Mr.. Tillinghast says that he has
made over 100 successful trips, of
which eighteen have been in his per-
fected machine.
To prove the claim that his ma
chine has been thoroughly tested, he
cites a trip made the night Of Sep
tember s. He said:
With two mechanics 1 left the
shop where the machine is stored
and built and set out for New York
city, which we reached, coming close
to the Statue of Liberty, went to
Boston, and then back again to the
starting point, without alighting.
when near Fire Island, one of the
cylinders ran irregularly, so the mo-
tors were stopped and two of the
mechanics took plenty Of time in re-
pairing it and doing a little work of
precautionary nature with other
parts of the machinery.
Before stopping the motor, we
rose to an altitude of 1000 feet and
sailed during the 46 minutes taken

CORN PRIZES AWARDED.
MIR. John II. Dingle of Summerton
Won First Prize on Acre.


Columbia, Dec. 13.-Ths State corn
contest commission met today and
awarded the $500 in prizes provided
for by the legislature.
The first prize Of 5000 went to J.
M. Moss Of st. Matthews, Calhoun
county, for the best yield on five
acres. His yield was 50o.5 bushels
and he made 1872 points out of a
possible 100.
The second prize for the five-acre
yield was awarded to Mr.. Thomas
Taylor Of Richland county, who got
Psi bushels and made 6S.6 points.
Mr.. Taylor's award was $50.
The first prize of $175 for a one
acre yield was awarded to John r.
Dingle of Summerton, Clarendon
county who got 1887 bushels and
made SO points.
The second prize for a one-acre
yield was SIS and it went to A. Ras-
com Usher, of Marlboro, who scored
91.7 points.
Most remarkable is the record of
Mr.. Usher, who is a mere boy. He
has won first prizes this year on his
one crop of corn, the Federal first
prize, on which he is now spending a
week in Washington at the expense
of the Federal government, a State
prize and two county prizes. The
commission says in it's report that
he is doing fine work in corn breed
ing and his types are very fine. He
won second State prize last year.
Among the important lessons the
commission points out as having
been taught by the contest, in which
there were 1856 entries representing
all sections of the State, is that corn
raising, either as to quantity or quail
ity of yield, is not as much a matter
of quantity of fertilizer used as it is
preparation of the soil. The best
yields were secured where a mod
crate amount Of fertilzing was done,
the proper proportions Of barnyard
manure and humus securing the best
results.
On 21 acres the commission pick
ed out the total yield was 2.1l3
bushels, the net profits $2,223.1O, the
total cost being $991. The average
net profit on these 21 acres was
$105.S6 an acre.
