Aviator Makes Two More Unsucoess-
full Attempts to Resume Flight to
London-Wind is Too High.

LONDON. Aug. 22-John B. Molsssnt,

the Psris-London flight with a passenger
which started SO auspiciously last Tuesday
evening. He assembled twice this morning
in his endeavor 10 cover the comparatively
short distance separating him from Lon
don, but ne could make no headway, and
in the second forced descent damaged his
machine 50 seriously that he will be unable
to resume the flight for twenty-four hours
The first ascent was made at 4:SO a. m
from Upchurch, near Rainham, where he
landed after battle with the strong wind
Saturday. On the ground a dead calm
prevailed and all conditions seemed favor
able for the flight, but the machine. after
ascending above the trees. was caught in
a tricky wind, ard although Moissant re.
mained in the air fifty-slx minutes. he
could cover only a short distance. His
supply Of petrol also gave out and he de-
scended to replenish it, After a delay of
half an hour he again ascended against a
thirty mile breeze, which he fought for the
succeeding half hour, covering only four
miles in the last twenty-seven minutes.
Finally a heavy gust OF wind caught the
monoplane and flung it down bodily 100
feet, just missing one of the high hedges
bordering the English roadways. Moissant
avoided it by an abrupt swerve and the
machine landed in a field, striking so
heavily that 1t was badly damaged The
wheels used in starting were bucBled, the
rudder and propeller broken and parts
of the framework were smashed. Moissa nj
and his mechanician, F1leux, narrowly
escaped injury.
Moissant and his machine are now at
Seven oaks, about twenty miles from
Upchurch and an equal distance from Lon
don.

official Request for Rt Made ON
AffidAvits from Parties AUeg-
ing Errors In Returns In
Twelve Counties,

Governor Shallenberger has asked Off
claily for recount of the vote in Cunning
Cedar, Dodge, otoe, Gage, Saline Hail.
Butler, Seward Cass, Adams, Doug
las and Lancaster counties. The gov
ernor said he will pay no attention
to any charges Of fraud in Douglas county
All he intends to do he SAYS is to ask for
a recount 20 see if any ballots have been
counted for Dahiman which should not
have been so counted He has secured af-
fidavlts from persons i'm the counties men
toned that ballots which have been voted
for Dahlman and also for some republican
have been counted for both of them, when
they should have been thrown out, as the
law provides that voters must confine
themselves TO one party in the primary.
The governor figures that he is defeated
by from 100 to 200, even though his reports
from western counties indicate that he is
nominated, and his office force believes he
will laHd in the lead when the official vote
is all In. Incidentally the governor has
found no law for a contest of a primary
election. His only recourse is recount.
Alleges $500 Ballots Wrong.
Governor Shallenberger alleges in his re-
quest for recount that at least 800 votes
counted for James q. Dahlman, his COM
petitor, should have been thrown out and
not counted because of errors in the bal
lot. He believes that II he gets recount
that his nomination over Dahlman is as
sured In Lancaster county the governor
alleges 200 ballots marked wrong were
counted for Dahlman 500 in Douglas and
100 in each of the other counties
1t was the opinion Of at least one Of the
advisers OF the governor that IL Dahlman
is counted out he will not he able legally TO
run for governor by petition. On this ques-
ton Deputy Attorney General Grant Mar
tin has said there is no law which would
prevent Mayor Dahlman making the race
for governor by petition II ne SO desires.
In his affidavit Governor hSallenberger
sets out that it has been reported to him
that parties ovted for Dailman and then
for some candidate on another ticket and
the votes were counted for Dahlman, when
the law specifies that the oVter must con-
fine himself to one party
The governor is preparing statement to

WANT cHEApER COAL.

The Greenvillc News protests that
the Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio
Railroad was built for the specific
purpose of hauling coal over the
mountains to the Carolinas at
a cheap rate and that 'its
rate on COAL" now that 1t is
built. as worse than that of the other
cost an enormous amount to build this
road; more than any other road east
of the Rocky Mountains, and its own
ers may have found that they could
not meet their fixed charges at the
low rate originally determined upon.
The specific complaint in the present
case, however, is that whereas the
Clinchteld Railroad and the Southern
traffic arrangements, charge s205 the
ton for coal to Spartanburg, they haul
1t to Atlanta for $165 the ton. Spar
tanburg is at the mouth of the Clinch-
field mines, so to say, and Atlanta is
hundreds of miles away. 1t looks like
discrimination of a. very outrageous
sort; but 1T is one of the laws OF
trade. Cotton goods manufactured at
Greenville cannot be bought in Green
vile, we believe, for less than the
same goods can be bought for
in Richmond. and the people
Of Greenville probably pay more
for the News. served by carrier
In the city of Greenville, than those
who are served with that excellent
paper hundreds and thousands of
miles distant from the office of publ
cation. Yet they do not pay more than
it is really worth to them.
We do not say that the rate on coal
to Spartanburs is not far too high
when compared with the rate to At
lanta, indeed, we think that it is at
least 80 cents the ton too high; but it
will be found, probably, by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, to which
appeal has been made, that Atlanta is
one of those "basing points" which are
so hard for the ordinary layman to
understand. IL Woulu seem lHal dts
spartanburg is a sort of gateway, it
should also be made a basing point
but we do not see exactly how that
would help Greenville. 1t would be of
decided advantage to spartanburg and
the manufacturing industries of that
progressive town.
The clinchfeld coal Is said to be
very good coal, not quite in the same
class with Pocahontas, 1t is true; blu,

which the wood-burners have not

THE TRUE socLAL1sT1c PARTY.

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, is one of
the leaders of the so-called progressive
Republican ideas. lie has made a
good deal of noise in the country at
times, and he has been speaking re-
Gently in Kansas in support of his
views. Several days ago, in one of his
speeches. he is reported to have said
that Cannon, Aldrich and the other
stand patters were driving the Nation
into socialism.
Evidently, Mr.. Cummins does not
know what the Republican party is.
Aldrich did not make it; Cannon is
not responsible for it. 1t has never
been the representative of the individ-
ual idea in government. but always OF
the combination. 1t was established as
sectional party, and it has been main
tanned as such. 1t has made Govern
ment the partner of private Interests
and promoted the welfare of the par
ticular sections it represents, and has
always represented, at the expense OF
the Taxpayers of the whole country.
1t is the true party of socialism, blu
half developed. and along with this
party of false. pretences. of sectiona
origin, of selfish achievement, Senator
Cummins has always trained. and wheI
it shall declare at it's next Nationa
Convention for continuance of the
