Charlotte News, August Both.


1t is evident that air navigation is
only in it's infancy. Records are be-
ing broken daily in the exhibitions
and trials in the Betheny Aviation
Fields at Rheims. On Wednesday
Paulhan, the daring French aviator,
broke the worlds record for time in
the air, being for 2 hours, 53 min
utes and "a seconds, or % minutes
longer than Wilbur Wright's time.
He steered his machine through q
gust OF rain and wind in circle, and
didnot descend until he had exhaust
ed the Sc litres OF fuel which he car
ried in his tank. He declared that
hecould havego on indefinitely had
he been able to replenish his tank
from the air. The following extract
is from the description OF witness:
"Going down on the wind, Paul
han made up for the time lost in
fighting against it. Fortunately the
storm was OF brief duration. AS the
time approached when it was evident
that he would beat the Wrights' rec
ord, the excitement was intense and
the crowds rushed from the tribunes
each time he passed, cheering and
shouting words OF encouragement.
"At one moment there was an en-
chanting picture, as the aeroplane
foated in the limpid blue beneath
beautiful rainbow while the approach
ing dirigible of Colonel Renard was
silhouetted against the black clouds
banked up on the horizon. AS Paul
han in turn broke the time and dis
lance records, the iubilation OF the
spectators was beyond description.
The Americans Joined the French and
other foreigners in paying tribute to
the courage OF the daring aviator.
Exhibition flights meanwhile were
being given by Sommers, Lablanch,
Latham, Rodier, Tissandier, Bleriot,
Gobre and Bunau Vanilla and al
though they offered a wonderfully
impressive sight as they wheeled and
circled about in the gathering dusk
they were almost forgotten in the in
tensity OF interest as to how far Paul
han would CO."
Science and skill have conquered
distance, time, land and water, and
now the air is being subjugated by
audacious man. 1t has been demon
strated that the heavier than-air ma
chine is entirely practicable. We are
now amazed over the fact Of q ma
chine being in the air for more than
two hours at time but in half q dec
ade We will probably be uninterest-
edly familiar with 12-hour trips by
air-ships.
Since the above was written, Cur
tiss, the American aviator, carried off
the greatest honors and won the in
ternational trophy cup for the Aero
Club OF New York. 1t is pleasure to
know that our county took the lead.

GOOD THINGS THIS WEEK

The Citizen has completed the Be
rea College advertising contract this
week and is back on its usual basis
with the usual number of good
things. Also, there are at least the
usual number to come next week.
For this week, there is Prof. Dodge's
letter about the Yellowstone Park,
Natures Wonderland" Some Of the
things he tells of seem almost i'm
possible, but our friend has been an
eye witness, and his story is next
best 10 seeing them ourselves. There
will be another article, on Seattle,
next week Watch for it.
We have too, this week, the Won
derful story of Peary's discovery Of
the North Pole, as told by himself
This is the greatest story of actual
adventure written in years, and you
ought to read it. Il was secured for

SCHOOLING BY THE YEAR
Residents of Berea Who Do Not En-
ter the Institution in the Fall are
Declared in the Winter.

Citizens of Berea are reminded Of
the established rule of the Institution
that no resident of the village who
fails to register in the FAN can be
admitted in the winter.
The reasons for the rule are two;
In the first place all the accommoda-
lions of the school are overcrowded in
the winter. Students who come from
distance ought not to be turned away,
and they must not be crowded out by
young people In Berea, who incur no
expense for travel, and who do not
care enough for school privileges to
register in the Fall.
The second, is greater-people in
Berea will get much greater benefit
from the school by sending their sons
ard daughters for a fun year, 1t is
better to pick out one child and send
It through the year, than TO
have three children partly In the free
school and part of the time in the
Institution. There is a great loss
in such transfers and patched work. i
is continuous school work that puts
our young people ahead.

A STORY OF JOHN G. FEE

An episode in the life of John G..
Fee, with which perhaps, not many
of his Berea FRIENDS are familiar oc-
cured in 1851 on Cabin Creek in Ma
son County Kentucky.
Mr.. Fee and wife were driving
thru from Bracken County to Lewis
County. The road at this place being
in the bed of the creek they in some
way got into a deep hole. and were
about to drown.
Now upon the bank watching them,
were two drunken men. One was
Alfred Cole, son of Ben Cole, a Re-
evolutionary soldier, and the other
Dan Mclaughlin an habitual drunk
ard.
The struggling horse and people
finally attracted their attention, and
Cole suggested to Mclaughlin, that
they go to their rescue. McLaugh-
lin looked at them in a Mandolin way
and replied tits that d. black
abolitionist Fee. Let him drown"
Cole went to their assistance and
succeeded in saving their lives.
Mclaughlin refused to help in the
least and rose and staggered toward
the shade of an apple tree a short
distance away. On reaching the tree,
he tumbled into its shade, only TO
fall upon some sharp stubs. where
some sprouts had recently been cut.
One of these stubs entered one of
his eye and pu. it out forever.
Alfred Cole, who was quite a queer
character himself, and did not be-
lieve in future punishment often re-
peated this incident to support his
opinion He would say, "The Lord
punched out Dan McLaughlin's eye
with an apple tree sprout, for refus-
ing to help John G. Fee out of the
creek"
Bro. Fee himself, related the episode
in 1882 to c. C. Degman, father of
the writer, and pointed out the ex-
act spot opposite the Bruce place
where it occurred

manned so until after Drs. Cowley and
Davis, had dressed the long cut, which
ran from over one eye to the back
OF her head When she became con-
cious she said that the last she
remembered was coming into the
house from the garden.
There are two theories as to how
the injury came. The doctors are
inclined to think that Mrs. Kimball
was overcome with sudden dizziness
and hurt herself in falling, tho there
is nothing to show that she fell
against anything. Some others think
that perhaps she was attacked by
some tough who believed she had
a little money in reach.

ing at Hamilton, Ohio, and his sis
ter, Mrs. Harwood, have both arriv-
ed. and are doing all they can for
their mother. Mrs. Kimball was worse
Tuesday, and will have hard time
pulling thru, her age being against
her.

gramme consists of about fifteen
three minute speeches from such
men of illustrious fame as Scale, Ellis.

man Cd. o., Henrys, s. Combs and
others. All phases of College Life
will be represented, such as, Faculty,

decorated for the occasion.
Anything else? Well l guess, Don't
forget those water melons" to be
eaten after the curtain falls on the
last act.
No new fellow should miss "Berea
Night" because in two hours he will
learn more about Berea than he will
otherwise il a month. No old student
should miss 1t because it will get
him back into the swing of things
better than anything else. No Fac
ulty man should miss it, because his
presence shows his sympathy with
the big student enterprise Of the
year. No business man should miss
it because students naturally pat
ronize those men who exhibit an in
terest in their activities. Come out
and enjoy the fun, the information
and the water melons.

INDUCEMENTS

Among the many talented women America has given to the world of art and music, Carrie JacobsB Bond has won for herself a high position. She has natural grace and an un- usual gift of expression, which show in everything she does, and her songs of which she has written both words and music, appeal to the hearts of her hearers with unmistakable force. She sings them with depth of feeling and a clearness of enunciation sell dom found in the work of even the most eminent artists, and her reel tations are true to nature and full of human warmth.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Mrs. Carrie Jacobs-Bond Is a wom- wonderful artistic temperament. Her stories and songs are full of human touches, pictures of humble, happy homes and wholesome philosophy. These she gives in a delightful, na- tural manner, which arouses a sym pathetic response in her audience. She made her debut in London a year ago last May, singing children's songs on a program with Caruso.- The Washington CD. O Post.

4 BUSINESS DEAL
 INVOLVING s30,OOO

Without much question the most i'm portant sale of city realty during the week was that of the northwest corner of Washington and Second avenue. This property was sold to a well known mining man in the city. The consideration is said to have been 330. 900.
 There have been very few sales of Washington street property in the last few years. and for this reason the pur- chase of this important corner is con sidered of unusual interest. It is the first piece of realty in the strictly business district on Washington street that has been transferred in three years. The last was the sale of 70 feet by Mrs. Lulu G. Porter to Charles Korrick for S25.000 made three years ago. This piece of property is now oc- cupied by Goldberg's store.
 The sale just made will take in about 75 feet on Washington street and run back 13711 feet on Second avenue. It will take in the space now occupied by Eberle's tailoring estab- lishment. the barber shop on Washing ton street. the offices of Drs. Swetnam and Wiser. offices of L. G. Knipe and o. A. Turney and J. c. A. King. The property was purchased from Dr. J. M. Ford. owner of the Ford hotel.

 OF STOCK PRICES
The Bears Are Making the Most of the Japanese Question.

New York, Feb. 6-The undertone in the general list of stocks continued depressive today The effect was off, set less effectualIy by special points of strength among the lower priced stocks. The reaction from the ad- vances in the early part of the week mad themselves felt in some of the latter class stocks. The rather firmer tone of the money market and the ex- pection of the bank statement showing a clear decrease in the margin of sur plus was advanced as an ostensible reason for some selling. Bear traders professed some apprehension over the Japanese question and desired to await the final action of the Califor- mia legislature on the bill to segregate Japanese pupils in the schools.
 Reports that financial plan af- fecting the Gould group was in prep aration was under discussion but those but those stocks were inclined to yield with the rest Of the market.
