The Start from Calais.

Calais, July 25.-M Bleriot at 4:S5 a. m. started in his monoplane for the flight across the channel. He made several trial flights prior to the start, occupying about ten minutes. The weather was fine and no wind was stirring. A torpedo boat destroyer followed the aeroplane at full speed. Two torpedo boat destroyers were off Sangatte at 5:10 a. m., waiting the appearance of Herbert Latham, who also intended to make an attempt to cross the channel At that hour the wind was rising and Latham failed to appear It Is not probable that he will make a start this morning

 Macon's Kick.
 The large kick made by Representa- tive Macon of Arkansas against the great applause which Representative Rucker seems to have imagined and to have inserted in his remarks, calls attention to a practice which Is not original with Fucker.
 It Is common and is indulged in by many good people of the lower branch of Congress who get leave to print for home consumption purposes, and thus get matter into the record that they never get within 40 miles of saying on the floor.
 Of course they do not want these un- uttered speeches to get out to their home districts without evidence that the House was moved and sired by them. and so they manage to hear applause which every one else failed to catch. The prac- tce ia winked at because every mem Der sympathizes with the feelings of his brother in wanting to bolster up his chances for renomination and reelection.

Oklahoma Bonds Are Good.

Albany, N. r., July 24.-Attorney Gen era1 O'Malley today advised the super intendent of banks that bonds of the state of Oklahoma are legal investment for savings banks of this state. The banking laws allow investments by such banks in the bonds of any state which has not defaulted in payment of any debt within 10 years previous. The attorney general holds that the fact that Okla homa has not existed as a state for 10 years does not prevent its bonds fulfilling this requirement so long as 1t has not de- faulted within 10 years in any of It's state obligations.

ATTACKS COOKS DETRACTORS.

Charles Wade, an intimate friend
of DR.. Frederick A. Cock, has raj
lied to his support with a state
ment reasserting his confidence in
the Doctors integrity and attack
ing the credibility of Capt. A. W.
Loose and George H. Dunkle, who
have sworn that they assisted the
explorer in the preparation of data
concerning the North Pole.
The statement says, in part:
"There is no shadow of doubt in
my mind that their story is a fab
rication. | ask nothing more than
that the public suspend Judgment
until the Doctor has sufficiently re-
cuperated to take up the battle
against his detractors.
Meanwhile, in the security of
his retirement, far from the roar Of
the well-greased affidavit mills, he
is in entire ignorance of the latest
tempest in teapot, and | propose
to keep my pledge by respecting
his retreat. | can say, however,
that he is not now and has not
been in any sanatOrlum.

s1CaI!ONTAs EEWS.
(TI:rEs.)

The hunting season closed Tues
day, and though there were six
hundred hunters license issued, the
word has come of the killing of less
than dozen deer in the whole
county Usually there are ten to
twenty times this number killed.
Last year nearly two hundred
does and fawns were shot. There
are a number of reasons why so few
deer were killed. For one, the fall
has been exceptionally dry, with q
tracking snow only three days, and
that only on the higher mountains.
The open season is two weeks short
er, and the two weeks come off at
the best hunting time, Last, but
by no means least, the sale OF game
being prohibited has kept many OF
the more adept hunters at home.
Hunters who have been on Gau-
ley and Cranberry report but little
deer sign, while bear are remarka-
bly, plentiful. In the ridges along
the Greenbrier river deer have been
steadily increasing the past ten
years. The turkey crop was much
better than usual, but as there was
mast under every oak tree, plenty
of turkeys have been left for next
years crop because they were not
compelled to seek food in the fields
and places Of easy access.
A coal bank has been found on
the land of John Will Sheets, on
Beaver Dam. 1t has always been
thought that all the land Of John
Will Sheets on the Beaver Dam
side of Williams river was under
laid with coal, as fine veins have
opened on the Black Mountain in
many places.
While building grade for Camp
bell Co.'S railroad, a coal vein four
feet thick was uncovered, we UNI
derstand. The coal on the Sheets
land has not been opened sufficient
ly to know the thickness of the
seam. 1t is supposed that this
outcropping or one not far away is
the one that was found by one Will
liam Duffield during war times.
He never divulged the exact To-
cation, and he did not survive the
war. 1t is hoped that there is coal
here in paying quantities.

On January l, next Federal
law goes into operation, the pur'
pose of which is to stop the social
led jug trade in Intoxicating liquor,
a system of distribution that has in
many places practically nullifed
prohibition by local option. This
law forbids the transmission in in
terstate commerce of c. O. D.
packages of liquor and requires all
such packages to be plainly stamp
ed to show the nature of their con-
tents. AS we understand it the
law also means that persons order
ing liquor shipments must give
their nalnes and NOT any fictitious
ones.

1t will not do for us here at
home to sit down and think that
all our roads are the best, for such
is not the case. 1t is wise to have
the main thoroughfares in good
condition. They should be the
first to receive attention. The
link between Staunton and Roa-
noke through our county should be
put in the very best condition.
Then the next step should be the
improvement OF the crossroads
leading into the main thoroughfare.
All roads leading into Lexington
should be good roads, so that ev-
cry citizen in Rockbridge can reach
the county town with the least
possible difficulty. Then it follows
that Rockbridge residents should
do all in their power to help i'm
prove the business condition of
Lexington. The increase of values
in Lexington means a lessening of
the taxes on the citizens of the
Financial dealings with
other towns means just that much
to the disadvantage of Lexington,
and finally the disadvantage of
Rockbridge. Each should help the
,ther, and nothing will more fully |
develop this spirit of inter-helpiul-
less than good roads. So let us
work. for good roads, and then for
mutual helpfulness. - Lexington

rlOnterey, Va. Friday, Dec. II, 1909

The Secretary of the Navy is
making most commendable efforts
to improve conditions in the De-
partment over which he presides
and it is given out that the young
and brilliant Naval Officers who
have graced the ball rooms and sa-
Ions and clubs in Washington, New
York, Boston and other Naval sta
tions, must actually 60 to sea. Ma
val statisticians have just discover
ed that Germany has taken the sec
ond place among the worlds naval
powers and that this place which
we appeared to hold a year or
eighteen months ago when our
great feet encircled the globe, is
ours no longer. 1t is further shown
that although we spend many more
millions than Germany IN the pull
ding and maintenance of our navy
that of Germany is stronger in ships
and guns and men than is ours.
These are net pleasant facts bit
they are stubborn ones and we
would better face them now than
after it. will be too late,
