THE TAR HEEL AIRSHIP.
Weaverville Builders Getting Their
Machine in Shape.

The airship garage, or barn, or
Ahed, or whatever the home of an air
ship may be called, which MIR. How
land has been building at Weaver
vile, has been completed, as has also
the airship, with the exception Of the
motor, which has been in process Of
construction for the past few weeks.
There it sits, or rests, or perches,
almost filing the large building
which was erected to receive it.
In design it does not differ in any
essential from the photographs one
sees Of other biplanes, and indeed it
is just like the others since it was
built by NJ. M. Howland and D. F.
Roberts, a contractor Of Weaverville,
from plans and blue prints furnished
by Farman company.
The hardware was furnished by a
company in New York that builds
airships, while the wood used in the
construction of the craft is the light
est obtainable and was furnished Mr..
Howland by a local lumber dealer
and was especially kiln-dried for the
purpose.
The machine, if it can be called a
machine, consists of two superim-
posed planes, held together by light
timbers and piano wires. The planes
are 10 feet by 80 feet and are cov-
cred with strong, tightly stretched
canvas. There is a balancing tail
some 80 feet behind the planes and
steering device in front, worked by
levers, which controls the altitude.
Mr.. Howard could not say exactly
when the first fight would be es-
sayed. It could not be made until
the motor arrived, although the order
for it was placed some weeks ago.
The delay is explained by the fact
that after the motor is built, several
weeks are spent in testing and no
motor is allowed to leave the factory
until it is found to work perfectly.
Mr.. Howard says that he has had
several applications for the position
of driver, chauffeur, motorman or
whatever the aviator may be called.

Editors Fought With Fists.

Mullins, July 2.-J. Lee Platt, edl-
tor of The Enterprise, who was re-
Gently defeated for mayor Of Null
Inns, engaged in fist fight on the
street here to-day with James Nor
ton, editor of The Messenger, which
opposed Platt in the recent election.
Several blows were passed and
Norton is said to have bled freely.
After the fight Mr.. Platt surrendered
himself to the police and while he
was under arrest W. F. Norton, a son
of James Norton, came up and struck
Platt several blows about the head
and face.
A large crowd gathered and for
some time there was good deal of
excitement.
Mr.. Norton was at one time comp
troller general of the State and af-
terwards in congress and later served
a term in. the house of representa-
tives. Mr.. Platt is former Colum-
bian, living there until a few years
ago, when he moved to Mullins.

Scourge of Cholera.

Southern Rissia is being swept by
the most virulant scourage of cholera
that has visited that empire in many
years. An Odessa dispatch says that
between 5000 and 5000 persons are
already stricken and 40 per cent of
the cases are proving fatal, and the
scourge is sweeping over the land
like wildf1re Physicians themselves
are in a panic. Overwhelmed with the
calls upon them, hundreds have sue
cumbed to overwork and disease it.
self in the cities in the Southern
district. Frost alone can save the
country from semi-depopulation as
the result of details and exodus from
fright, declare the health authorities,
and frost under normal conditions Is
months away. General decentralization
makes accurate statistics as to the
spread of the disease impossible.
About 1000 fresh cases were reported
last week and these, the authorities
declare, can be but a fraction Of the
real total. Death carts are used to
take the victims from the homes as
soon as notice of death is received
and the buriais are rusded through
with practically no ceremony. In
several cities where the deaths are
most numerous burials are in great
trenches like those provided for vic
TINS of battlefelds.

The Dry Goods Market.

New York, July 3.-The cotton
mills of the country have taken ad-
vantage of the holiday to order a
curtailment of production in large
way which will extend throughout
the week and be continued at inter-
walls during the life of the current
cotton crop. The crop shortage and
slow demand for merchandise are the
reasons.
At the lower prices that have been
current recently on convertibles pur-
chases have been freer but mills have
been unwilling to sell beyond Sep
tember and have devoted most OF
their selling to spot and nearby de-
liveries.
Bleached goods which were re-
duced q short time ago were ad-
1anced IA cent a yard to a basis OF
s 3-4 for fruit-of-the-loom A goods
and this price is guaranteed until Oc-
tober. There Is better demand for
spring goods which are now being
opened.
The hot weather has enlivened the
interest in sheet materials and the
iobbers have done we'll on them. Do
mestics are still being purchased in
a hand to mouth way.

Bristol, Tenn, July AT Shady
Ford, near here, to-day, William
Gross shot and killed his brother-in
law, William South. Gross used a
Winchester rife and fired from am

and firing a shot from his rifle miss
ed Fritz, but the ball struck the lat
ter's aged mother, slightly woundipg
her.
Gross and South married twin Sis

planation except to say he had to
shoot South and regretted it.

There is no reason why minister
should not endorse candidate for
public position if he wants to. He is
no less a man and citizen because of
his profession, and he of all people
should be intensely interested in
good government. We are glad to see
the preachers taking an interest IN
politics or anything else that helps
for civic righteousness. 1t is not only
their right but essentially their duty.
and all this talk about preachers mix
ing in politics is buncomte. We
have never yet heard of candidate
refusing the endorsement of a minis
ter, and any man should be proud
to obtain it. This is not the hrst
campaign in which the name of a
minister has been used as endors-
ing a candidate, and it will not be
the last by any means. This news
paper is not supporting any candi-
date for governor so far, but simple
Justice warrants the foregoing.

A Poor Makeshift.

Energy is poor makeshlft for
honesty" said Senator Beveridge at
a dinner in Indianapolis, according
to the Washington Star.
"Let us be energetic, but let US be
honest, too. Otherwise, we'll get on
no better than the January traveller.
"A traveller on freezing January
night, called at an inn, but found it
full.
"'Well, landlord he said, I can't
sleep out on the snow crust. You
must put me up somehow
"I guess, then, said the landlord,
'we'll make up bed in the hall and
curtain it off for you
Accordingly, this was done. And
the traveller, under rather thin
blanket, fell asleep. But in the mid
die of the night he awoke, freezing.
An icy draught blew throught his
hair and mustache; it even lifted his
thin blanket and swept over his bare
limbs.
The, traveller rose The sheet thai
had been hung up as a partition had
come unfastened, and it was waving
merrily in the breeze.
Landlord!' shouted the traveller
'Landlord!'
"'What is it?' voice shouted.
Landlord said the traveller
will you please let me have paper
of pins to lock my bedroom door
with?'"

A WATCH FOR HERO.
Handsome Present for Boy who Pre-
vented Wreck.

Temple, Texas, June 29.-That all
corporations are not ungrateful and
that spark of human kindness exists
in the breast of the general manager
waiting to be kindled when the proper
touch is given is proved in the case
of 1O-year-old Prentice Elder, farm
boy who lives in BosQue county near
Valley Mills. There is a siding on the
Santa Fe railway near his home which
bears the pretentious name of Man
haitian, this being the only point of
similarity, however, that exists be-
tween it and its huge namesake on
the Atlantic Coast Line.
Prentice Elder had been visiting at
a neighbor's and returned home after
dusk. His path led him along the
railway track. He discovered a rail
loose and projecting corsswise. The
last train that passed had evidently
broken the rail and unconsciously left
it as a trap for the first train that
followed in it's wake. To think with
the boy was to act, and from some
source he hurriedly procured a
lantern and stationed himself at a
point in the track where he could COM
mand a view in both directions. He
had not long to wait, for soon fast
freight train No. 3S, known as the
Redball express, came tearing along.
The flag" was recognized and the
trainmen alighted to discover what
narrow escape some of them had had.
Upon arriving in Temple detailed
report of the occurrence was laid be-
fore Superintendent K. S. Hull, who
decided that it was the duty >of the
railway company to bestow some
suitable testimonial upon the boy.
In this General superintendent W.
E. Maxson and General Manager F.
G. Pettibone heartily agreed, and it
was determined to purchase solid
gold watch, one of the best that
money could buy, and present it to
the young hero with the compliments
Of the company.

The trip suggested for the State
Press Association by Editor Fooshe,
of the Winnsboro News and Herald,
is a good one, and he can go ahead
with the arrangements so far as we
are concerned. 1t is fine idea for
the newspaper men to learn some
thing of the industrial development
of their own State, and this idea was
admirably carried out at the meeting
at Gaffney when a day was spent at
a power development near that city.
The old State is coming to the 'front.'
and the editors should be Informed
as to every phase of its development
in order that they may assist in the
work.

johnson Burgess Acquitted.

Gaffney, July 3.-The case OF
Johnson Burgess, a well-known white
man of this county, charged with at
tempted assault, which has been oc-
cupying the court for the past two
days, was given to the jury yester-
day afternoon and after short de-
liberation they returned verdict of
mot guilty." This case has excited
ry and the progress of the case has
been watched closely.

The Colleton News has suspend

The Colleton News has suspended,
the former editor and manager, J..
E. Moore, having sold his interest to
Claude A. Graves, now connected
with the Press and Standard. The
death of the News is no surprise to
US, as we predicted that it would
fail for the reason that it was es-
tablished as a political paper, the
idea Of it's promoters being to re-
renge themselves on Editor Smoak,
of the Press and Standard. Of course
we regret it if any one lost money,
but the fate of the News will do as
a peg to hang few remarks on as
to the establishing of newspapers.
Those politicians who want to start
newspapers because they cannot con-
troll those already printed should re-
member that newspaper publishing
is a business enterprise just as any
thing else, and there is no use to
attempt to kill out an established
paper. You will not succeed in the
first place, and then the principle
is wrong. When you start to tear
down one enterprise to build up an
other, you are likely to fail, and this
has been abundantly demonstrated in
the business of newspaper publish
ing.

The Aiken Journal and Review
came to US last week as six-column
eight-page paper, it's size having been
increased from a five-column eight
page sheet. Lorenz is putting lot
of good hard work into his news
paper and he is meeting with the
success he so richly deserves. The
Journal and Review is printed twice
week, and no doubt comes next to
the Orangeburg Times and Democrat

Sims has the largest circulation of

Backache is only a simple thing at

But when you know 'tis from the

That serious kidney troubles fol-
low;
That diabetes, Bright's disease

ferer who was cured.
J. D. Pressey, near Court House,
Barnwell, S. c. says: Several years
ago l had an attack of typhoid fever
which left my kidneys weak. During
the past year the trouble seemed to
become worse and I was bothered
to quite an extent by a frequent de-
sire to pass the kidney secretions,
especially at night. I also had pains
through the small of my back and at
times felt nervous. Upon learning
that Doan's Kidney Pills were sure
cure for such troubles, I procured a
box and began their use. They ef-
fectively cured me and I have had
no trouble from my kidneys since. l
