tract with the firm Voliva is to re-
purchase it for 100000, payable in
eight years, thus regainiEg what he
was deprived of when reCeivership pro-
ceedings were instituted soon after the
death of Dowie. nearly four years ago,
With only one exception the plans of
Dowie are to be followed in their en-
trety, Voliva declares. The exception
is that to the manufacturers and COM
merce of Zion City are to be added
agricultural pursuits which Noliva
maintains are necessary to the pros
perity of any community. At the time
of Dowie's death the property of the
community was appraised at approxi-
mately $20,0OO,000.

LATHAM MAY COME OVER
Hamilton Wants Foreigners So
That Americans Can Show
Them We Are Equals
LATHAM MAY COME OVER
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. July 16.-J. Olieslae-
gers, the Belgian aviator who recently
carried off the speed and height prizes
at the aviation meets in Heliopolis
Egypt, Nice and Bologne, has entered
the newspaper aeroplane race which
will start from Chicago october for
a. purse of $4,000. This makes the
seventh formal entry received. The
other entries are those of Charles *
Hamilton, Glenn Fl. c. Curtiss or Il
representative, Capt. Thomas A. Bald
win, ]. c. Mars. Oscar P. Hellings and
j. A. D. McCurdy, the latter Cana
dian. Robert Latham, who is TO rep
resent France in the contest for the IN
ternational speed trophy at Garden
City, l.. l., October %, has already
cabled that if he can get reliable
machine for such long cross country
race he may compete.
BLEREOT MoNOPLANE
M. Oleslaegers will probably employ
a Rleriot monoplane in the Chicago
New York race. This makes the tlrst
monoplane entry in this contest. This
will make the contest the first in the
United States in which aeroplanes OF
one and two surface types have COM
peted with each other and the first
cross country contest in the world in
which the TGOnoplane has fought II
out with the biplanes.
Charles X. Hamilton was greatly
pleased to learn of the entry OF Nj.
Olieslaegers. He is hoping that more
of the foreign experts will see fit to
enter the contest. He believes there
will he some surprises in store for the
foreigners and that the American peo-
ple will find that the aviators of TINS
country are at least the equals of the
best the old world can furnish.
WHAT HAMILTON SAYS
"Our people do not realize" he said
last night. that American aViators
have done more cross colntry flying
than the aeronauts of any other nation,
particularly when the comparative
scarcity of our flyers is taken into ac-
count. Most of the notable stays IN
the air that have been made IN thlS
country have been made in cross
country flights. This is just the OPP
nosite to European methods. For in
stance. my fight from New York to
Philadelphia of 80 was across eighty
six miles of deep water, cities ana
towns and rough country. The records
recently set up at Rheims, where ~
niles was covered in one continuous
flight. saw the aviators round a course
lust two and half miles in clrcum-
ference. The effect of flying over such
ground as that, as compared with
travel over rough and diversified coun-
try should be taken into account. The
aviator who is touring above fine land
ing ground has hardly any mental
strain at all Flying across the coun-
try. however, the aviator must have
every sense alert for engine trouble,
and he must be able to select good
landing places even before he has
chance to see them

WHAT The FILES SHOW.

Readers Of the Telegraph will recall
that we stated few weeks ago that al
editorial published some years ago il
the Jasper News indicated that its edi
tor, Hon. J. NJ. Caldwell, was not pro
hibitionists, either county option o.
statewide. Mr.. Caldwell denied thai
such an editorial had ever appeared il
his paper. The Telegraph suggested al
examination Of the files Of the News by
two disinterested parties and FAMED oul
choice. of a representative. From this
representative we have received the fol
lowing letter:
Jasper. Fla. Oct. 10, 1910.
Mr.. E. s Matthews,
!Starke, Fla.
Ny Dear SIR
In compliance with your request, to-
gether with similar request from Mr..
J. N. Caldwell, editor Of the Jasper
News, / have this day examined the
files of the Jasper News from February,
1899, to January, 1909. During that
period 1 find the paper had several edi-
tors, among the number ]. NJ. Caldwell,
@. B. Smith, O. w. Smith, W. O. Cald
well, J. R. Borland and W. L. Whit
field. find an editorial by J. NJ. Cald
well, published Sept. 81, 1902, entitled
"a Plain Talk" In this article the ed
itor calls attention of the business men
that Jasper was then on the decline,
using these words: IA little more than
three years ago Jasper was the most
progressive town within fifty miles of
this place with the solitary exception of
Vsldosta. But how is it now? The
population has decreased twenty-five
per cent" etc. Several suggestions
were then offered as the probable cause,
among the number the following:
'Higher prices may be asked by our
merchants than Others. Lower prices
may be paid for produce. or it may be
because we have driven the whiskey
trade from the town" I find several
articles on both sides Of the temperance
question, but these are communications
signed Prohibition" or ANTI. Prohibi-
ton or bearing the full signature of
the writer.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. r. SCOTT.
Mr.. Scott's letter does not indicate
that the News endorsement of the open
saloon was so strong as we had thought,
but il does show, we think, that Mr..
Caldwell was favorsbly inclined toward
the return Of saloons to his town.
We leave it to Mr.. Caldwell to say
whether we owe him any further retrac'
ton and apology.
