NEW YORK Nov. 5.-(Special to The
Bee)-Society is up in the air or at least it
will be literally before many months have
gone into history. That the areoplane
will take the place of the automobile with
the sport-loving element among the best
people is about as certain as anything can
be. The recent meet at Belmont Park has
opened the eyes of society to the tremen-
dous possibilities for thrills to be found in
the flying machines, and has also demon
started that there is little IL any more
skill and nerve required in manipulating
the machines than I'm running a high-pow-
cred auto at illegal speed.
The Belmont Park meet was a real so
cial function. Practically everybody who
is anybody watched the man-birds and It
is safe to predict that the builders Of BIZ
planes and monoplRnes will have all they
can do to meet the demand on them for
machines.
Society is literally air crazy.

The illness Of Miss Margaret Rutherford,
daughter of Mrs. w Is Vanderbilt, has
given her many friends real concern. Miss
Rutherford is a most charming girl and
had intended to take an active part in the
social life of the city during the coming

She is Of particular interest to the pub

devoted attention.
Miss Rutherford came back from France
by way Of England recently. Except for
her appearance at a dance at Mrs. Steers,

announcement that the White House lists

many who have heretofore been favored

more classical entertainments, those which
really mean something are concerned. OF

presence there of Miss Tart and her par
ticipation is the gayeties OF the season is a
matter Of superlative interest to the pros

Though many hostesses with plans of

include Christmas dance, will be perfected

NEGRO BOY KILLED.
Shooting Near Maxton Saturday
Guilty Youth Jailed ! Two
Stories of the Affair.

John James, alias Cook, color
ed, about Is or 19 years old, was
placed in Jail here this morning
by Deputy G. F. Webster, Of
Maxton township, charged with
the killing of Alex. Douglas, a.
year-old son of Daniel Douglas,
colored, who farms on Mr.. Jro,
w. McQueen's place near Johns
Station.
The killing took place Satur-
day afternoon in small field on
Mr.. McQueen's place, where
these two boys were plowing,
and James contends that the
killing was accidental; but has
told two tales as to how it hap
pened. After the shooting James
went to Daniel Douglas house
and told that Alex. had shot him
self, then afterwards he told that
Douglas pointed the pistol at him
and snapped it several times, and
that then he took it and snapped
it at Douglas and it fired. There
seems to have been only one shot
fired and that struck Douglas in
the nose and passed through his
head, killing him instantly. There
were no eye witnesses to the
shooting, but it is generally be-
lieved that James did the killing
and that the boys had some
trouble.
Coroner G. E. .Rancke held in
quest over the body esterday
afternoon and the verdict of the
jury was that Douglas came to
his death from a pistol shot
wound at the hands of John
James, alias Cook.
