WILBUR WRIGHT

Following grim battle against
hopeless odds, Wilbur Wright, the
noted airman. died last night at his
home in Dayton, O., of typhoid fever
Death came after the distinguished
patient had fingered several days in a
semi-conscious condition and with
burning fever.
Wright died following sinking
spell, which developed shortly after
midnight. The aviator was surround
ed by members of his family which in
cluded Bishop Milton Wright and Or

plane
The patient was seized with typhoid
on May 4, while on a business trip
east He Immediately returned and
took to bed almost Immediately 1t
was several days before his ease was
diagnosed definitely as typhoid. Dur
ing the early part of his illness Wright
attributed his sickness to some fish he
ate in a Boston hotel.
Wilbur Wright, the elder of the two
brothers who have achieved world
wide fame as a result of their success
full inventions and experiments with
the aeroplane, was born near Millville,
Ind, April 16, 1867. Both of the
br0tnerS received JnelF euucdlion III

where their father was located as a
bishop of the United Brethren in
Christ In early childhood the broth
ers are said to have been keenly in
terested in kite flying, but not until
1896 did they begin serious study of
the subject of aviation In 1900 they
had perfected their plans for an aero
plane and soon after they settled down
to real tests on the sand hills of east
ern North Carolina. Their first ma
chine was not up to eXpectat bns. BY
1902 they had improved their machine
so that they could remain up in the
air minute at a time. In 1903 they
built the first heavier than air machine
that had ever raised itself by its own
power. In 1906 they gave their first
public exhibitions. In 1908 Wilbur
Wright went to France and at LeMans
he made a series of flights that easily
beats all records in aviation.

OCALA MAN HIGHLY HONORED

DIR. Booker T. Washington has ex-
tended a special invitation to George
Giles of George Giles & Co, our cot
ton and velvet bean dealers, to deliver
an address at the meeting of the Ma
tional Business Lea que to be held in
Chicago next August.
He has accepted the invitation and
will try to give Marion county a full
representation. He says that this
will be a splendid opportunity for the
distribution of Marion county and Ocala
literature and suggests that the county
purchase two or three thousand copies
OF the Stars special illustration edition
which he would willingly distribute.
The distribution of this matter would
help boost this section of Florida.
These meetings are composed of peo-
pie from every part of the United
States and a great many from foreign
countries. There is no man in Florida
who would work harder to distribute
our literature and advertise the section
surrounding Ocala than George Giles
he Is deeply interested in every move
that is for the upbuilding of this part
of Florida, and We suggest that steps
be taken at once by the county COM
missioners and board of trade.
