A Good Friend.
Latta Observer.

Latta Observer.
Here is a little story for you, or
we should have said a reality that
sounds like a story, about Jonah
swallowing the whale, the hen lay
ing the golden eggs or the catfish
story we printed last spring.
1t is vouched for by Mr.. w. Ellis
Bethea, one of our leading mer-
chants and business men. Mr.. Be-
thea added to his long list of du-
les this year that of raising chick
ems and has succeeded wonderfully,
so much so that he has found it a
problem to dispose of all the eggs.
He has eggs for breakfast, eggs for
dinner and eggs for supper. Last
week was bully week for the hens
and eggs came so fast that they be-
came more plentiful than ever and
not much vigilance was used in maxi
ing the daily collections from the
nests.
One afternoon about sunset late
in the week while feeding his horse
Mr.. Bethea noticed a nest on a pile
of hay in the loft, and calling his
son Phil he sent him to get the
eggs. Phil proceeded to the loft
with boys usual basket and pan
combined, his hat Mr.. Bethea soon
heard Phil hollering that there were
too many eggs and that his hat
would not hold them. Mr.. Bethea
seized the feed basket and proceed
ed to the loft where, with Phil's
aid, he collected fifty-five fresh
laid eggs to add to his already
large supply in the pantry.

GOV. BLEASE'S PRIVATE COUN-
Sell.
Ben Abney Residing With His Kins-
man Installed i'm the Executive
Mansion.


Columbia, March 3O.-Just who
is to be regarded as private counsel
TO Gov. Blease, the Governor has not
seen fit to say publicly so far, but
circumstance may be significant
in this connection and the fact of
which Go. Blease has himself con-
firmed, is that Mr.. b. l.. Abney, of
Columbia bar, has lately taken up
his residence at the executive man
sion.
Mr.. Abney, by many considered
one of the most astute lawyers of
South Carolina, is the Governors
near kinsman, their middle names
are the same, Livingston. They
have been much together since the
Governors Inauguration.
Mr.. Abney was one of the leading
counsel for the Southern railway in
the celebrated merger case and his
fee as counsel for the State in the
@ispensary courts was $4,000.
The lengthy special message on
the status of trustees which was
sent to the General Assembly by
Gov. Blease arriving at crisis in
the debate over the railroad mile
axe matter, was openly ascribed in
the press to Mr.. Abney and no de-
NAL has ever been made that the
message was of his authorship.

COFFIN IN GALE FLIES TO
AIKEN
Wright Aviator and His Wife Defy
Wind

Augusta, Ga, March 30.-In g
high wind, the violence of which is
attested by uprooted trees and prop.
erty damage throughout this Sec
ton, Frank Coffin of the Wright
aviation staff, accompanied by his
young wife, made a flight from
Augusta to Aiken this morning to
keep a breakfast appointment with
friends. The Wright biplane being
used in the local training school
which is a duplicate of the one in
the service of the United States ar
my on the Mexican border, was the
vehicle. No woman in America, un-
der weather conditions of any sort,
has ever made a flight of this
length, the air line distance being
% miles and the time of the flight
AL minutes.
AS the machine left the ground
at the aviation field here it was
caught by a sudden gust of wind
and careened dangerously.
The rise was made merely to feel
out the wind, the aviator believing
his wife would be quite willing to
land after once circling the field.
Shall we go on?" asked Coffyn.
Yes, responded thelittle woman
at his side, as she took a firmer
hold and settled herself to brave
the elements.
b 1t was found impossible to take
q straight course because of the di-
rection from which the wind came.
Several times on the trip it seemed
as If landing must be made but
each time no available spot was
in sight.
The trip this morning will at
tract worldwide attention, as 1t is
certain that it is the longest flight
ever attempted with lady as a
passenger.
The trip, as well as being dan
gerous proved to be exciting and
amusing, as the aviator flew at an
altitude of only about 450 feet,
and in passing several teams the
horses and mules became frightened
and ran away, but there was no
damage done. Mrs. Coffyn expresses
it as very amusing to see the way
some of the negroes acted when
they were passing over, some fall
ing over on the ground, others
running into the houses, return
ing Immediately with the whole fam
lily. In other places the entire force
OF hands would drop their work
staring and waving until the ma
chine was out of sight. She states
that she was compelled to keep up
almost a continual waving from the
time she left Augusta until she ar
rived here.
