Tuesdays Daily.)


The rain today put halt to the op-
erations of the aviators in South Side
Park. But by the pretty weather of
the last two days they have practi-
cally gotten one of the airships which
will be seen in the flights Friday and
Saturday put together and ready for
the trials. Another machine will be
ready by Friday.
The gates will be open Friday at
ternoon at 1870 o'clock. At two there
will be some horse racing between the
fastest runners in the country. Some
speedy automobiles will also be on
hand, and will give exhibitions Of
speed. These arrangements are un-
der the supervision of John P. Nc
Cav. Airship flights take place at
$50 o'clock.
The conquest Of the air is the
most delightful and at the same time
the most dangerous occupation. Speak
ing of this phase of aerial flights,
Ben R. Gates, the inventor of the
Gates bi-plane, which is the style
of machine to be used here Friday
and Saturday says:
One has to learn how to fly by
flying, to encounter the air and wind
In full fight. But easy as is the
mastery Of the air, supreme delight
is the conquest of it.
Flying is the finest sport imagin-
able Travelling through the air is
running on an endless unbroken high
way, racing one minute toward the
clouds and sweeping the next mo-
ment toward the earth.
There are no roads up there with
signs forbidding speeding. The great
est menace to safe flying lies not in
the air but on the ground prior to the
start A nervous man will not make
a great flyer.
The aviator must lose his nerve
before he leaves earth or he will have
trouble; the chief danger lies in lack
of confidence and trying to fly with
out having a full understanding of
ones machine.
When an air man climbs into his
machine he must feel that he has alb
solute control of it and that he knows
that it is in perfect condition.
He must know too that the ma
chine will fly and If there is anf fore
boding of injury or accident before
he starts it Is best to climb out OF the
machine. Confidence is nine-tenths
of the game. One should never feel
that one is liable to make a mistake
In the air Afflicted with such
feeling as that no air man would be
safe. He must know that he is al
ways going to do the right thing and
then it must be done instantaneously.
Neglect or carelessness must never
happen or diaster is bound to come.
The man who is best at details is best
material for an aviator"

HOUSE MAJORITY
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
COLUMBIA HERALD
REsclND ACCEPTANCE TO COME
TO COLUMBIA BECAUSE
OF PAPER.
UkCORK Walls OF lH.Ia WRATH
Get Mighty Mad at News Item and so
Great Is Their Anger at This Jour-
nal That They Reverse Action Pre-
viously Taken.

High compliment was paid The Her.
aid Tuesday by the Patterson parti-
sans in the House of Representative
when they voted to rescind an accep-
lance Of the invitation to come to Co
lumbia on Saturday, because The
Herald had in news item reported
the fact that since the best portion
Of the Legislature had gone to Ala
bama some people here had lost in
terest in and enthusiasm for the men,
bers who were coming. OF course
this is fact. Several prominent cit
liens Of the town had made state
ments to that effect and The Herald
in reporting the news said so, but 1t
also argued that the spirit that
prompted such statements was wrong.
But the Patterson partisans wanted
to play politics. They wanted to
abuse all who are fighting the forces
and powers Of evil in this State So
they got mighty mad at The Herald.
They abused it and it's editor. And
then they solemnly declared that
they would not come to Columbia be-
cause of what had been published In a
news item in The Herald.
They all declared that The Herald
was not worthy Of notice but prompt
ly contradicted this statement bv de-
voting whole session to it and its
editor. So conspicuous is The Her
aid in the fight Of goo dgovernment
that news item in the columns was
sufficient to cause the withdrawal Of
an acceptance of the invitation to
come to Columbia.
The whole thing was a political play
to the galleries and probably inspired
by some enemies of The Herald here.
The Legislature will probably come
to Columbia. In fact the members
doubtless had no other intention but
they wanted to play some politics.
Every member knew that The Herald
was newspaper; that the Board Of
Trade was commercial organization,
that neither was bound by the speech
or attitude of the other The whole
thing was a miserable plan of politics
but withal about the highest compli-
ment ever paid to The Herald It
proves that it Yields an influence and
has a power not even claimed by it's
publishers.
After saying that they would not
come to Columbia the Patterson parti-
sans in the House appointed COM
mittee to find out If the Board OF
Trade wanted them. A most silly
proceeding for the invitation from
that organization had never been
withdrawn. More politics. The up
shot of the whole matter was that
some noisy little fellows who love to
hear the bray of their own voices
got a chance to explode and abuse
their superiors and the members will
be here Saturday as the guests of the
Board of Trade which invited them.

good government in Tennessee, was
the first to make a substantial contri
button to the support of the exiled

If at any time the thought of return.

single member of this body, which 1t
has not, the spirit of your letter, the
expression of your love and approval
and the substantial manifestation OF
your readiness to help bear the bur.
den Of the fight, is enough to create a
greater determination than ever to
fight and keep on fighting, not only
until victory is ours and the peoples,
but until the last one of the corrup-
tionists is laid in his political grave.
We doubly appreciate the action OF
Maury county, where our great lead

Maury county has given much, and
the sincere wish of our delegation is
that it's true manhood may prosper

to keep up the fight.
Yours for victory,

MRS. CLEMENTSON INJURED
Struck by Rock or Heavy Clod Thrown
While Taking Ride in Auto.

An extraordinary and regrettable
attack upon a party of motorists was
made in the early evening of May 9th
by James Jordan, who lives on the
Rudd farm mile west of Lancaster.
District Attorney Clementson was
giving his father and mother, and
Mrs. 7. A. Burr, ride in his car.
taking the road past Mr., Jordan's
place. Just after leaving the city
limits the car passed Mr.. Jordan who
was driving horse in cart. With
him was boy leading another horse.
Glr. Jordan pulled out to let the car
go by. His horses were not frighten-
ed and the party in the car were not
aware that they had in any way in
Cured his animosity. After going
to the top of Grant hill the car re-
TUNED. In passing the lane leading
to Jordan house, it was seen that
the boy with the led horse had gone
ahead of Mr.. Jordan, who was coming
with his horse at walk a lutte
farther down the main road. 1t soon
became apparent that Jordan meant to
hold the entire travelled track, and
force the car into the deep ruts at the
side of the road. He was sigalled to
allow the car to pass. but refused to
machine was obliged to take the rough
going and pass by on low gear. Just
as the car was passing, Jordan rose in
his seat and threw rock or heavy clod
at the occupants Judge Clemen tson
was in the front scat and Mrs Clement
son who is an invalid was In the rear
on the side next Jordan. The missile
came rather close to the judge, and
struck Mrs. ClementsOn in the left
breast inficting painful but not serious
bruises, as it fortunately struck the
shoulder muscles The assault was
evidently premeditated, and without
known provocation.
The next morning Judge Clement
son swore out warrant. and Jordan
was arrested charged with assault
with intent to do great bodily harm.
After being seen by MI. Jordan s
attorneys the judge agreed to substi
tute a charge of assault and battery,
to which the defendant plead guilty
and was fined $50 90 and costs The
matter was brought before Justice
Burrows, Ed NJ. Lowry appearing for
the prosecution, and Brown, Brennan
& Carthew for the defen 7ant.

THE POTOSI GIRLS
WON THE DECISION
In Debate With L. II. S. Team
Last Friday Evening.
A Good Sized Audience Enjoyed Spirited
Discussion of the Womans' Suf-
frage Question.

The debate on the woman's suf-
frage- question: between representatives
of the Athena Debating Society, Of
the Lancaster high school, and the
Girls Debating Society, Of the Potosi
high school, held at the high school
building Friday evening was won by
the visiting debaters, the markings Of
the judges being two to one in their
favor.
The question as stated was, Re
solved that women should have the
right to vote in the United States. - .
Potosi upheld the affirmative Of the
question in highly creditabl0 man
ner They based their arguments as
to the success of woman's suffrage
elsewhere upon the opinions of Judge.
Lindsay, of Denver, General Hale and
other authorities of world wide fame.
The Lancaster debaters were unable'
to meet several of the most cogent of
their arguments
The local debaters did exceedingly
we'll under adverse circumstances.
Theirs was the unpopular side of the
question but they marshalled their
arguments in such manner as to-
leave considerable of doubt In the.
minds Of all the hearers as to which
would be the winner.
The event proved that the work
done in debating by the girl students
Of both schools is far from being q
waste of time. It is excellent training
and the Athena Society should en-
deavor to keep the future work Of the,
organization up to the high standard
that obviously has been maintained
in the past
The following were the disputants
Of both schools

The judges we're: Z. A. Berge, OF
Potosi Miss Matte Houston. of Slit
z9r; Judge 2. B. Goodssll, Of
this city.
There was a fair-sizod audience in
attendance about $50 tickets being
taken in at the door. A great DEAF OF
enthusiasm was manifested by both
the Lancaster and Potosi contingents-~
particularly by the latter after the de
bate The Lancaster people accepted
the defeat good natursdly and gave
their school yells and songs with AS
much spirit aft r the event as before.
Between thirty and forty adberants

Washington, D c., May 13-Re.
preventative Cooper who has accepted
an invitation as orator of the day at
the memorial exercises to be held at
Lancaster, Wisconsin, has shown a
great interest in the affairs Of the
veterans of the Civil War. lie mas

to matters Of general legislation but
he has just achieved a signal victory
for one of his constituents, Mr.. Daniel
w. O'Tell. Lake Geneva, who en-
listed III the 141st Illinois Infantry
during the Civil War under peculiar
circumstances AT that time Mr..
O'Tell was unable to secure admission
to any company forming and accepted
the suggestion that he take the place
of a soldier who had deserted from the
141st Illinois. In doing this he as
sumed the name of the deserter and
faithfully served his country through
out the rebellion, and at the close of
war was discharged from service.
The war department was induced to
take the matter up and after the pre-
sentation of volumes Of affidavits and
proofs, Congressman Cooper finally
succeeded in having Mr.. O'TelFs
military record cleared, and an honor
able discharge in his own name has
been granted
