FORTUNE FAVORS MOSLEMS
Italians Defeated in Series Of
Concerted Attacks.
ARABS UPSET ALL CALCULATIONS
Turkish Embassy Claims that I'm
Mondays Fighting Allies Gained
Yictory-Hcavy Loss in
Various battles.

LONDON, oct. 2S.-FTom uncensorod
dispatches from Trlpol reaching England
by way Of Malta, which In part are con-
flrmed by censored dispatches reaching
Rome, II is apparent that Italy's cam
paign In Trlpoli has already cost more
lives than the government anticipated
while the financial outlay viii greatly
exceed the estimates.
The Turks with their Arab allies, who
at best It was believed would only carry
on a desultory campaign offering a sort
Of holiday for the invaders, have upset
the calculations of the Italians by a SER
les Of concerted attacks, in which, ac-
cordlng TO accounts sent by correspond
ents without submission to the censor
the Italians have come off second best.
The Turkish embassy issued state
ment today claiming that in Mondays
fighting the allies gained the victory, the
Italians losing 300 killed and TOO wounded.
This Is confirmed IN part by an indie
pendent report that the Italians brought
700 wounded men into Tripoli and fur
Their by an announcement from Rome
that the government has decided to send
forward 1900 achievements.
Since then kilograms from various
points tell of a series Of attacks, the
latest on Thursday. One dispatch, which
obviously was roughly handled by the
censor, says wonderful but untrustworthy
stories about the action are in circula-
ton but the Italian riflemen and artll-
lerymen say about 100 Italians were
wounded and 1t is claimed hundreds Of
natives were killed in the Palms where
a cruiser was Smelling, According to this
dispatch determined attack was looked
for today, Friday being the Moslems

TWO AND PERHAPS THREE BIG
AEROPLANES WILL BIT
SEEN HERE.
GREAT Event FOR NEXT week
Probable that Gates, the inventor of
an Airship, Will Be Seen Here in
One or More Fliehts-other Ar
rangements for Big Days.

Columbia's great aviation meet will
be one Of the notable events of the
history of this section. Clinton U.
Vidor, the press representative of the
Aerial Exhibition Company, arrived
In this city last night and Went at
once to work making arrangements
for advertising the big meet here on
April 81 and %, Friday and Satur-
day of next week.
During the two days meet here B.
l.. Gates, the great inventor of air
ships, will probably make one or two
flights Miltoi Dunlay and VIM. G.
Purves will also make two or three
flights daily. There will be two aear-
oplanes and probably three here.
These will arrive during the early
part of next week
John P. McGaw, for the Boarl of
Trade, has charge of the other ar
rangements for the big meet. He
will have auto races, horse races and
exhibits of live stock that will help
to entertain the great crowds thai are
expected.
During the two days exhibition
Dunlay and Purves will probably
make the majority of the flights.
They take turns in filling dates but
all are ready when called upon.

be attempted in addition to the reg
ular speed trials and maneuvers.

NO SUBJECT MORE
FASCINATING TO THE
PUBLIC THAN FLYING
HEAVIER THAN AIR MACHINES
WILL BECOME COMMON IN
FEW YEARS.
REQUISITES FOR The AVIATOR
Dunlap and Purvis Two Well Known
Bird Men Will Make Flights at Fair
Grounds Here on April Fl and o..
Aerial Exhibition Company.

There is no doubt no subject today
which so interests the whole world as
aviation. Just as was the case with
the automobile, the flying machine
has come to stay. Where today
there is one aeroplane there will be
hundred in year, thousand in
two years, and in five it will have be-
come a common thing to see hundreds
flying over our big cities.
At the present moment the one
thought in the public mind relative
TO aeroplanes seems to be it's appar-
ent instability and the dangers that
attend it's operation. Never was an
idea so erroneous. Anybody or rath-
er everybody possessed of confidence
in himself and of common sense can
learn to fly with safety to himself and
benefit to the world at large
To be successful as an airman it
requires only that he be possessed
of confidence in himself and COM
mon sense. 1t is a very simple mat
ter to run an aeroplane, just as it
was to drive an automobile; the main
requisite is self-confidence. Belief is
the nine-tenths of the foundation for
success. 1t is absolutely essential in
aviation and for this reason the man
who operates an aeroplane must do
things accurately. He cannot do them
that way unless he believes in him
self. 1t is not the case that flying
in an aeroplane is a constant battle
with the lews of gravitation. 1t re-
quires only steady nerves and con-
slant attention to details to be sue
cessful. You learn after some prac-
tice, how to balance yourself and,
having learned, you can't tell how
you do it. The motor is started the
release signal is given; you roll
few yards across the ground to gath
er enough speed to hold you in the
air and then up and away you 60
The Aerial Exhibition Company,
who will give the dights here, have a
number of well known bird men, in
cluding Milton Dunlap and William
Purvis. Each one Of them will be
seen in a number of flights. The ex-
hibition will be at the fair grounds
for two days, April 81 and %. There
will be automobile races between To-
cal drivers, and a fine exhibit of the
noted stations of this section.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 1.-THE

BRASS FOUNDRY
IS LOCATED HERE
HIGH CLASS WORK BEING DONE
IN THE FACTORY OF r.
G. SMITH.

Columbia can truly boast of brass
foundry. Frank G. Smith has a small
but complete plant in operation In the
rear of his residence in Athenaeum
Place, and is turning out some Of the
highest class brass castings that have
been made in this country in many
years.
Mr.. Smith is now engaged in mould
ing couple of bronze doors for the
Jackson mosleum In the cemetery at
Mt. Pleasant This mosleum is being
constructed Of granite by the McNeel
Monument Company, of Columbia,
and the bronze work contract was
awarded to Mr. Smith. He has been
working on this foundry for several
months getting it equipped with ev-
cry modern convenience and Is capa-
BILE of turning out any kind of bronze
work of casting. This bronze work
he is now completing will be one of
the handsomest pieces of work in the
State when completed. The doors
are made of the very purest of metal,
and the two doors will weigh several
hundred pounds and to break them
will be almost an impossibility.
In addition to the foundry Mr..
Smith has almost completed his lab
oratory which will be as complete as
the largest in the United States. He
also has a complete machine shop in
which to finish his castings and does
the larger part of the work himself,
occasionally employing help.
Two prominent Nashville brass
men, in speaking of the class
of work Mr. Smith is doing, stated
that the metals he used in the con-
coction OF the two brass doors for the
mosleum, was equal to that
used by the ancients, and that Is now
being unearthed from the ruins OF the
Roman empire. They claim that 1t
will last for centuries and still retain
its natural color.
