TO CONTROL AIRSHIP BY
VACUUM.
New Flying Machines Will Have
Compartments as Fine as Pull
man Cars-Will Garry Freight, etc.


Pittsburg, Dec An airship con-
trolled by vacuum, capable of rising
to any height and of remaining sus-
pended motionless in the air; of car
rying passengers protected from the
elements in compartment furnished
as luxuriously as Pullman car; of
carrying freight and enough fuel to
make flights of distances not now
dreamed of for heavier-than-air ma
chimes, and all by means of mechan-
ism so simply controlled as to in
sure almost perfect safety, is what
an inventor says he will demonstrate
within a few months.
Entirely new in aeronautics is the
principle on which the invention is
based. 1t is the creation of va
cuum in the space above the airship
in order to ascend, and then by Great
ing vacuum to propel the machine
in any direction.
Within a short time after it is
completed, if the test proves success
full, the inventor says he will start
from New York to San Francisco in
an attempt to lift the Hearst prize of
$4,000, which has been offered for
the first airship to make that trip.

ished Article.

Western Carolina Enterprise
Forty odd years ago the South was
left without money, without farm
hands, without credit State and
county bonds could not be sold at
any price; hardly twenty-five cents
on the dollar. Only the ground and
climate that God gave us were left.
The war experience was lesson to
Southern people, even if it was a Bit
ter lesson it was worth much to us.
But we have not done all we should
have done and there is still much to
be worked out.
We have in the South the finest
hardwood timber that is in these
United States and not one foot of that
timber should be shipped out until it
is manufactured into the finished pro-
duct.
We produce three-fourths of all the
cotton grown upon the globe and that
should be worked into shape to be
sold at from twenty-five cents to
twenty dollars pound before it is
sent out. We send cotton to Massa-
chusetts, getting from ten to fifteen
cents a pound for it and buy it back
at prices ranging as high as five dol
lars pound. We send cotton to Ger
many and Switzerland and buy back
laces made from it paying as high as
twenty dollars pound.
The work Of the South is to teach
the children and young people how
those things are made. Send the
young men and women to technical
schools of the United States and for
eign lands. Let them learn how the
things are made and then come back
home and put our idle money into
profitable use.
Here in Haywood we have learned
our lesson regarding furniture. We
have many wood working industries.
But we are not turning all the tricks
We should be shipping our fruit and
our cattle in cans. We are losing bic
profits to the middle men.

GERMAN TAX ON POTASH.
Increase Cost of Potash About 100

Increase Cost of Potash About 100
Per Cent-Win Increase Cost Of
Fertilizers.
A special from Washington to
Mondays Baltimore Sun says:
with the return to Washington
of nj. II. Davis, United States special
agent, who has been in Berlin en-
deavoring to bring about favorable
settlement of the potash dispute. ac-
ton by the State Department or
President Taft Is anxiousiy awaited
by agricultural interests all over the
country.
"A large importer points out that
potash is an essential Of all CONNER
cial fertilizers, that it is produced
only in Germany and that the new
German tax. imposed at the demand
of the Potash Trust, amounts to a
tax of 100 per cent on all exports of
potash to the United States.
This tax is more than the entire
cost at the mines to consumers un-
der their iow-price contracts and
makes the price on deliveries i'm this
country much greater than the old
syndicate prices. The American con-
tracts were made long before the
law was passed. and it was enacted
with the deliberate intention OF de-
stroying these contracts, to coeree
all potash mines into the syndicate
and so to bring about a return to
high prices and take away the mar
ket made in America by low-price
producers outside OF the syndicate.

Several amendments were offered
by members anxious to get more
money for improvements Of rivers in

Col. Theodore Roosevelt lis to make
a two months tour through the coun-
try visiting practically every State

The ex-President will leave New

first stops will be in the South, prob
ably in Georgia, where he was en-
Enthusiastically received on his fall
tour. After visiting the Southern
States and completing his course of
lectures In California he will zigzag
throughout the West.
He says he has received 1900 in
vitations to speak and that 80 reach
ed his office yesterday. No announce
ment Of his itinerary will be made
until after January 1.
Colonel Roosevelt says the New
Haven report that in his speech there
next week he will explain the cleo

There was not one word in my
letter accepting the invitation to
speak before the New Haven Cham
Der of Commerce that even limited

said. Il have had thousands of re-
quests to make some political utter
ance, but before election / decided
that in any event I would take two

THE speech at New Haven and an
after-dinner speech I have agreed to
