between Judge Quill B. Price and

Flower Lawn, oct. srd, IoI-.
My Dear Judge take this OPP
portunity in addressing YOU by letter
knowing you 10 be man of dclIbcr-
ate consideration aud one posted in
regard to the political trend now cN-
tint, and being ac,uated in our
presidential contest, and believing
yon competent to give nc any IN
formation that | may desire along
such hacs. | would say that am
somewhat confused in regard to our
political status and contention IN
the Republican party, which seems
Ia bc divided. You know that |
have IlN@ys been irIe and tried
Republican, have advocated the
principles aud pohclcS OF the he
publican party ia victory and de
feat tho all the years of my matur-
ity; but after the contention and
disattectlon that occurred in the
Chicago convention | have be-
lieved that great wrong was done
Col. Roosevelt and my sympathies
turn to him, altho he has abandon
ed the Republican party and its
principles and policies, which
course | do not admire. However,

Col. Roosevelt at iii: November

This name is applied to several
distinct acute diseases of the lungs,
but most commonly to that caused
by the poison of particular mi
crobe, the pneumococCus. "Lobar"
or croupous pneumonia is 50 named
because it attacks one or both lobes,
and involves the whole of the lobe
or lobes affected. In "lobular"
pneumonia smaller parts of the
lung, called lobules, are invaded,
and the patches of disease are scat
tered here and there over one or
both lobes.
The aIr-cells of the infected lung
become inhamcd, and are filled
with an eXudation of fibrin and
blood. Thus the lobe becomes
solid mass, imprevious to air. At
the same time the poison is absorbed
by the blood and causes the .symp-
toms most characteristic of the dis
ease.
Lobar pneumonia begins sudden
ly, with a severe chill and usually
with sharp pain in the side.
Sometimes there are no Fremont
tory symptoms, and the transition
from health to serious illness occu-
pies only a few hours. Fever be-
gins with the chill, aud quickly at
tains It's full height. 1t remains
high with little variation for several
days. The patients breathing is
labored, rapid and shallow. There
is an almost constant cough, with
an expectation of thick mucous
,ingcd wi,h blood. The pIsc is
very r..il.

The Hon. L. L. Harris.
My Dear Sir:-Yours of the Srd
INST. at hand, IN which you ask my
opinion concerning your political
trouble. You seem to be like some
others who have been attracted by
the siren song of disappointed politi-
clans. have always regarded you
as a man of too much sense and
information to be led astray by such
whimsical craze and pretense as
is being agitated by Roosevelt and
his followers. However, such un-
called for breaks have occasionally
occurred in the history of our poll.
tics. Nov l want to say to you,
that Rooseveltism and a third party
is only an attempt to dismember
and to disorganize the Republican
party, which has long been the bull
wark of our prosperity and has
made us progressive nation, one
of wealth and of power. 1t is very
unfortunate for our country that
Rooseveltism was so untimely sprung
to harass and agitate until IT became
a factor that shall undoubtedly prove
detrime ntal to the welfare of our
country, and perhaps may be the
means of disrupting, to some extent,
the greatest and most progressive
party that has dominated in Ameri-
can politics. You say that you
have been lifelong Republican
and have always advocated strictly
the principles and policies of the
Republican party, bat that you arc
unhorscd by the result Of The Chi

AVIATOR RODGERS
FALLsT0H DEATH
FIRST AVIATOR TO CROSS AMERI.
CAN CONTINENT. is KILLED d..
AT LONG BEACH, CAL.
HE WAS BADLY MANGLED
BipIane Began Frightful Descent and
Crashed Against Surf, Rodgers
Being MangIed in Wreck.

Long Beach, Cal.-Calbraith P. Rod
gers, the first man to cross the Amer
lean continent in an aeroplane, was
killed here almost instantly when his
biplane, in which he had been soar
ing over the ocean, fell from a height
of 200 feet and buried him in the
wreck. His neck was broken and his
body badly mashed by the engine Of
his machine. He lived but a few mo
ments.
. Rodgers, for a week past, had been
making daily flights here and had
taken up with him many passengers,
both men and women. He started
from his usual place and scared out
over the ocean, crossing the pier and
then turned and dipped close to a
roller coaster in a beach amusement
park.
Seeing a flock Of gulls disporting
themselves among the great shoal Of
sardines just over the breakers, Rodg.
ers again turned and dived down into
them scattering the sea fowl in all
directions. ~
Highly elated with the outcome of
his dive, Rodgers then flew farther
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1912-04-10

out to sea, all the time gradually ris-
ing until he had reached a height OF
about 200 feet.
Making a short turn, he started at
full speed for the pier, then suddenly
dipped his planes and his machine be-
gan a frightful descent. Rodgers was
seer by hundreds of persons on the
pier to relax his hold on the levers
and then seemingly realizing that he
was in danger, he made strenuous ef-
forts to pull the nose Of his machine
into a level position. g..
Failing in this, he managed to turn
his craft further in shore and an In
slant later the craft crashed into the
edge of the surf, not 500 feet from
the spot where, on December 10, last,
he had finished his ocean-to-ocean
fight. Many men rushed to his aid.
Ernest Scott and James Goodwin,
life guards, were the first to reach
him. They said Rodgers head was
hanging over one wing of the ma
chine, the heavy engine was on his
back and his feet were drawn up
nearly doubling over his shoulders.
Blood was flowing from his mouth.
Rodgers was lifted from the wreck
and hurried to the bath house hospl-
tai. He died on the way.
