was stated by one of the officers who
made the raid that the liquor seized
amounted to twenty-five gallons and
there was a small quantity of beer. 1t

the case are coming.
Gastonia Gazette, September !: A
storm of cyclonic proportions which
prevailed over Villa Heights, suburb
of Charlotte, Wednesday morning about
8 o'clock, completely demolished the
Villa Heights Associate Reformed
PRESBYTERIAN church of which Rev. E.
g. Carson of this county, is pastor.
This church was built about four years
ago and was considered a strong, sub
stantial structure. 1t was frame
building 6Ox40 feet. 1t is probable that
the church will be rebuilt promptly.
Other buildings in the immediate vi
cinity were more or less damaged.
According to the official report
L
Southern excursion train running as
second No. SO from Charlotte to john
son City via Blacksburg and Bostic
gives the names of twenty-one persons
who were injured. All Of the injuries
were slight, the worst being to Mr.. A.
Mac Price who sustained.a a broken rib.
All were able to return to their homes.
There were 175 passengers on the
train. Just what caused the wreck Is
not known The tender. baggage car
and five coaches left the track. The
list Of injured contains among others
the following names: B. F. Bumgard-
ner, Bessemer City, ankle sprained:
Mrs. M. w. Hanna. Gastonia, limb and
arm bruised: NJ. w. Hanna, Gastonia,
leg bruised. Trains on the division
were delayed throughout the day Tues
day on account of the wreck. The
management abandoned the excursion
and the eXcursionists returned to their
homes on regular trains. .... Col. c. b.
Armstrong and Mr.. w. T. Rankin -
turned Tuesday evening from an eX-
tended trip through Georgia. Alabama.
Mississippi and Arkansas. In all they
covered nearly $500 miles. The prin-
cipal object of the trip was to take
look at the cotton crop and get first
hand impression Of the condition OF
the staple. They report that the crop
in the territory visited-which includ-
ed a large portion of the great cotton
growing section-will be in advance OF
last years crop from 10 to 20 per cent
or even more. The condition they esti-
mate as perhaps 20 per cent better
than at this time last year and there
is an increase of at least ten per cent
in the acreage. They do not look for
a bumper crop, but for a good average
crop over the entire country. The dry
season has been beneficial to the sta
pie in those sections. At present there
Is some rain. These two manufactur-
ers, who keep in close touch with crop
condition and market conditions do
not look for any high-priced cotton
this season. They had a most de-
lightful trip.

A DUEL ON THE WAY.
Sir John Blake Explains Why He Was
Late In Affair of Honor.

Sir John Blake Explains Why He Was
Late In Affair of Honor.
There was no keener duellist or
more unerring pistol shot in the west
than Sir John Blake. Of Henio. Like
most of the Irish gentry, he was in the
habit Of spending the winter season in
Dublin, and once, upon the eve Of his
return to the west, he had a quarrel
with a gentleman and challenged him
to fight next morning upon that ia
vorite duelling ground, the fifteen
acres of the Phoenix park.
Sir Johns opponent was punctual to
the hour appointed, so were the sec
onds and few friends who had got
wind Of the affair; but there was no
sign of Sir John himself. Half an
hour went by and still he did not put
in an appearance. His second became
more and more perturbed, and his ad-
versary maintained an unruffled COM
posure.
Something unlocked for must have
detained Sir john" he said. He's
the last man In the world to disap-
point a gentleman upon an occasion
like the present" They had waited an
hour and more when the rumbling Of
wheels was heard and heavy travel
ling carriage rolled into view with lug
gage piled high upon the roof and ser
wants in the rumble.
It came to a stand behind the en-
closure of the chief secretary's lodge,
where 1t was partly screened from
sight, and from IL emerged Sir John.
He crossed the grass to where the
group stood awaiting him and, lifting
his hat, apologized courtously for the
inconvenience to which they had been
put. Most grieved, gentlemen, to
have kept you waiting in this uncon-
scionable fashion. 1t was all the fault
Of her ladyship's confounded French
maid. She took so long over her pack
ing and her trunks this morning be-
ALL"
The ground was measured out and
the word given. A case of pistols was
emptied on either side and, honor hav-
ing thus been satisfied, Sir John bowed
again and turned to the carriage,
where he resumed his seat beside
Lady Blake and the equipage once
more set forward upon the road to
Galway. Her ladyship, no doubt from
long usage. regarded Sir Johns en-
gaging in an affair of honor with no
more concern than a wife Of the pres
ent day feels at her lord and master
taking part in a contest at golf or ten
nis.-Cornhill Magazine.

THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Their Wonderful Growth and Pros
neritv Since 1880.

The fourteen southern states, with
Missouri and Oklahoma, having now
an aggregate population of 32, 2,5OO,OOO
or 1S,OOO,000 less than the total popu-
lation of the United States in 1880
have 81, 900, 900, 900 in national bank re-
sources or only $200,0OO,OOO less than
such resources in the whole country
thirty one years ago.
In that period these sixteen states
have increased the annual Value Oh
their mineral production from $2O, ,OOO'-
600 to $34O, ,OOO, 900, as against $45O,0OO,-
900 in the whole country in 1880; their
manufactured products have value
within $4,000, ,OOO,O 900 of the value in the
whole country in 1880, while their
manufacturing capital is several nun
dred million dollars in excess or the
country's at the earlier date. In the
thirty -one years the value of their out
put of manufacturing, which was less
than the value of agricultural pro-
ducts in 1880, has become far greater
annually, although the value OF agri-
cultural products in the sixteen
states is close on to $3,0OO,O0O,OOO.
In 1880 the railroads of the country
had an aggregate length of $4,000
miles. The sixteen states now have
81, 900 of railroad mileage. From south

A Warnins.-Dr. Elmer Ellsworth
Brown, the new chancellor of New
York university, was talking about his
desire for larger and deeper study of
the arts in American colleges.
IN youth" said DR.. Brown, the
taste is formed, and 1t will be taste
for fine and beautiful things, or 1t
will be a taste for tawdry and false
things. without great care it will be
a taste of the latter sort. Let us be
warned by the anecdote of the little
Kiantone boy.
This little boy was taken, one sum-
mer day, to the circus for the first
time.
well, dear, how did you like it?'

His eyes widened, and he answer

circus you'd never, never, consent to
go to church again in all your life -

THE PIONEER OF AVIATION.
The Evolution of the Flying Ma
chine.


The story of Samuel Pierpont
Langley's study and experiments in
aeronautics is one that appeals not
only to the engineer and others di-
rectly interested in the subject, but
to the public as well. 1t is a story
not generally known, since it starts
back in the year 1887, some time be-
fore many serious-minded people
considered aerial navigation practi-
cal for heavier-than-air machines,
and continues for nearly sixteen
years. During that time Mr.. Langley
created and demonstrated many steps
now invaluable to this modern and
permanent science.
In 1886 he became assistant secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution.
and in the following year, upon the
death of Prof. Baird, he succeeded
him as secretary of the institution,
where he combined the administra-
ton of its various branches with his
own investigations and studied until
his death i'm 1906. In recognition of
his scientific researches. Mr.. Langley
was the recipient of degrees and
medals from the foremost universi-
ties and scientific societies i'm Europe
and America.
From his first studies with toy
aeroplanes propelled by rubber bands
to his final experiments with a man.
carrying machine propelled by a
gasoline engine. the like of which
has hardly been surpassed to the
present day, the story of his endeav
Ors. handicaps. failures and success,
holds the attention of the reader
with an interest not unlike a roman
tic narrative. The memoir just pub
lished deals largely with experiments
and their results. which are now ac-
cepted as matter of course facts At
the time they were made, however.
they were the first steps of great
scientific cropping in the dark, and he
well deserves the title given him as
the first bird-man. Having secured
a grasp upon the elementary theories
of wind resistance, and matters per-
tanning to aviation, Mr.. Langley start

Respectfully Referred.-He had the
poets instinct for leaving practical
matters to others. But his father-in-
law-to-be did not know this.
Look here, young fellow" he said,
II think it's about time the date of
your marriage with my daughter was
fixed"
Yes, perhaps" the young man
agreed. But 1 am leaving that en-
tirely to Ermyntrude."
"Ah! Is it to be a quiet or stylish
wedding?"
II think, sir" answered the young
man, quietly, Il can leave that safely
in the hands of Mrs. Bullion
Yes, quite so," nodded Mr.. Bullion
But a young fellow generally has
some idea with regard to the expense

by the way, what is your income"

modestly, II am leaving entirely to

He's the Original Grouch.-There is
in Washington an old Crouch" whose
son was graduated from Yale. When
the young man came home at the end
of the term, he exulted in the fact that
he stood next to the head of his class.
But the old gentleman was not salts
fed.
Next to the head" he exclaimed.
What do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to co..
lege for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where You
ought to be?"
At this tn son was much crestfall-
en-; but upon his return he went about
his work with such ambition that at
the end of the term he found himself
in the coveted place. When he went
home that year he felt very proud. II
would be great news for the old maa.
When the announcement was made.
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug, he remarked:
AT the head of the class, eh? Well,
that's a fine commentary on Yale uni
