very plow-handles never dream that
it was Tom Watson, of Georgia, who
fathered this measure and put it
through congress. However, the
world do move and while it glides
along perfectly Obvious of the ex-
istence of the great and the near
great it fulfills the age-long maxim
that the martyrs Of yesterday are
but the heroes of tomorro We
confess that we have met with a
great many people who honestly
differ from Watson in his conclusions
cleaned from the various fields of his
endeavOrs, but we, being born a
democrat, and expecting to die one,
when the time comes, must confess
that in all our reading after Watson,
we find that his failings, if any, lean
wholly to virtues side. Watson is
a Baptist in religion, a Jeffersonian
democrat in politics and withal a
very dangerous antagonist when tam
pered with in the arena of religious,
moral or political discussion. Wat
sons work has been in a large sense
"a benediction to the world, and this
is our humble tribute in the matter"

Dear Sir: I am 81 years old, with
quivering hand from the hard toll
Of many years.
Thomas Jefferson was the great
est man that ever was President
of the United States. Yes, he was a
man of great property when he was
elected to be President of the United
States. He had many negroes and
thousands Of acres Of land all over
the country, but he was so broad
minded and full of love for the COM
mon people that he opened his doors
so wide to everybody until he was
eaten out of all possessions and had
such big heart Of freedom that he
freed his negroes and died insolvent,
but was known to be the greatest
man that ever lived to form and plan
out the business Of the Nation for
the general interest of the whole peo-
pie. How can the readers Of The
Jefersonian consent for themselves
to be destitute of the history of such
man. | feel like this article will be
the last article that I shall ever have
before the people. When I think
about the money power holding US
down under their suffrage
have palpitation of my heart. Then
my brother tOilers and backbone of
the earth, what is two or three dol
lars to us in order to have our eyes
opened on the grandest subject that
stands before the common and down
trodden people of America, and I am
sure when your neighbors and friends
see your history you will find dozens
that would gladly take it off of your
hands. There is not history in the
Nation of as great value to my
brother toilers. Then let me say one
time more to the readers Of The JEFF
fersOnian, do not fail to put the his,
tory of Thomas Jefferson in your
house for the benefit of your family
and they will always remember the
advice of this old man, Allison W.
Smith, about 81 years old, and later
on you will see my obituary pub
lished in The Jeffersonian which is
written by my own hand, for T. E.
Watson has agreed to publish it after
my death, and / believe he will do
what he promised. Perhaps it will
be the first obituary ever published
that was written by the deceased, or
dead man. SO look, think and act.
will close in love, confidence and
hope of hundreds buying the history
of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest
man of America.

VI course l was agreeable and he
soon had one of the funny gliding
automobiles, 1 had seen from my
window the night before, at the door
waiting for us. 1t was only fla:
! surface of metal four feet wide, ten
feet long and about one inch thick,
and was resting on the ground. An
automobile body with upholstered
seats was mounted upon the metal
plate. Certainly it was a curious
machine, and l asked Charles how
thing like that could be made to 90
without the use of wheels. Jump

side him. He pulled small lever
and the strange machine arose until
it cleared the ground by two feet.
He then pointed to disk which
was an exact reproduction of "a mari

dicator instead of the compass nee
die. He swung the indicator to
North by North east, pulled lever
and we were off with a gliding mo-
ton, with not sign of a jar or vi
bration. 1t sure beat any ride
had ever taken in our old out-of-
date autos.
We travelled through the principal
streets of the city, passing hundreds
of machines like the one we were
riding in. My friend, Charles, told
me they were called "Gliders', a
very appropriate name | assure you.
Finally we drew up to large park
and finding a good place to sit and
view all the scenery, my friend said u,
If you care to hear how it is pos
sible to have an automobile, as you
call it, run without wheels I will tell

interested and would be glad to have
him enlighten me.
You will remember" said he
that as early as 1915 numerous in
ventors and other scientific men
were seeking a means whereby they
could gain control Of gravity.
Many an inventor has financially
and mentally ruined himself in a
vain eudeavour to discover the Sc
cret. 1t was in the year of 1870
that an obscure inventor found that
by charging certain metal, COM
pounded from certain minerals,
with electricity he would make the
metal float in the air, the voltage of
the electricity determining the
height at which 1t would go.
For five years he labcred and in
1875 he could make the sheet of
metal travel in any direction, and at
any rate of speed. As practical
test he fashioned a plate of metal
three feet wide, six feet long and
three fourths of an inch in thick
ness, and mounted a small runa-
bout body upon it. installing his

He gazed quizzically at me for a mo,
ment and then burst into a hearty
laugh. MY friend.' he said, you
sure are up against it. What ever
gave you the idea that we had dining
rooms?"
l saw that I must give him an ex
planation of some kind, 80 l told
him that [ had fallen asleep in the
year 1915 and had just awakened.
1t took some time to convince him,
but my clothes and some money in
my pocket finally satisfied him that
my story was true.
You will find everything chang

turned to our right, and had taken
only few steps when that same mys-
terious voice called, "Twenty-frst
Century Hotel Cafe!''
1 enquired of my friend who the
man was who did all that yelling?
He laughed and explained it was a
phonograph arrangement and that [
would hear it everywhere about the
city. He explained that sections of
floors and sidewalks were arranged
to start the phonograph whenever
they were trod upon.
Entering the Cafe 1 noticed that
there were no tables, only long rows
of lunch counters for which no seats
were provided. My friend led me
over to one of these and showed me
row of push buttons, each of which
was numbered. He then produced
small book and asked me to find
what 1 wanted to eat. Everything
on the bill of fare was in alphabet
cal order and each had its own indi-
vidual number. 1 told my friend
the number of each one l wanted and
he manipulated the push buttons.
When my order was completed be
pulled a small leaver and a section
of the lunch counter top sank down
and went speeding under the coun-
ter toward the back of the room, re.
turning in about five minutes with
everything l had ordered upon il
and the inner man was soon satisf-
ed.

switchboard and other electrical ap-
paraIus in a similar manner to what
it now is in our Glider. After a
number of experiments he produced
a glider" that was cheaper, speed
ier and more economical than the
automobile. The gasoline car was
doomed to utter extinction. Since
the invention of the glider numer-
Gus improvements have been made
up on it. chief among which is an
automatic direction changer which
absolutely guards against collision.
Whenever two gliders approach
each other the automatic direction
changer turns them aside enuf for
safe passage, Collisions with trees
and other obstacles are avoided in

and invention" / replied, certai My
it is a great consolation for me to
know that we can enjoy spin with
out danger of wiping something off
the map. We never knew when
the old automobile would turn turtle
and send us to the undertaken or at
very best oblige us to return home
with unrecognizable features. And
by the way, [ suppose you have
railroading down to a scientific safety
basis also. l suppose wrecks and
collisions are unheard uf." Rail-
roads!' he exclaimed. turning to me
with a surprised look on his face,
But l forgot that you are just from
the period of 1915, the time when
rallroadsand railroad magnates we're
in their glory. My dear sir, we
haven't had railroad since 1890;
the last one was torn up and sent to
the scrap iron pile eleven years
ago."
Is it possible!" I cried in am
azement, for 1 had always supposed
that railroads were an essential and
fixed method of transportation. II
didn't seem possible that the public
had at last been freed from their
dominating and nerve-racking in
fiuence. What in the world would
the poor men who were fit for no
other position in life except station
agents and conductors. those brow
beaters of an honest and working
public, find to do now that there
were no more railroads? What
have you to take the place of your
RAILROADS.&C. "Airships and giant
gliders, my dear SIR" he answered,
and l noticed that he seemed to
swell with pride as be said it. We
have gliders that have capacity
of more than four of the largest
freight trains that ever wheezed
over steel rails. and they travel
more than three times as fast"
For the life Of me 1 couldn't be-
gin to realize the changes that had
been brot in less than a century.
Truly" thought 1, progress moves
with more than lightning speed"
Reader, just try to imagine the
state of mind you would be in were
you to awaken some morning and
find that the railroads had vanished:
that the murderous automobile would
no more terrorize you and that in
place OF having to dodge them you
found gliders especially designed to
dodge you. l guess you would be
fusterated and all at sea as much as
l was( remember that owing to that
demon, Adonis Argyle, and his time
banisher, l have seen and know
whereof l speak,.
I suppose freight rates are a
great deal lower than the railroads
furnished" l hazzarded.
Certainly rates are very low,"

at a great expense for upkeep,

was then complete, and all that was
necessary to transpose one from one
year to another was to set the dial
lever at the year one wished to 60
to, grasp the handles at the ends of
the wires and throw the small switch
and, presto! one was in a different
year.
DO you mean to stand there and
tell me that kind of trash?" | snap
ped as / idly placed the dial lever
on 200I. and picked up the handles
on the wires.
No sooner had 1 lifted the hand
les than he sprang forward with a
yell of warning. His cry so discon.
certed me that in my haste to lay
the handles back on the table l
struck the switch and instantly all
was changed. l still held the han
dies of the machine and it still rest
ed on the table before me, but the
room was different and differently
furnished. Every piece of furniture
now in the room was made entirely
of metal, and altho 1 could see no
light, the room was as bright as day.
l laid the handles on the table and
went to the window. Here l noticed
that the street below was brilliantly
lighted, although no individual lights
were visible. People were passing
back and forth and / saw many
curious machines that resembled
automobiles and yet appeared to
lack something of the makeup of the
present day auto. Looking very
closely at one of them was struck
by the fact that it had no wheels
but was gliding along at distance
of about two feet from the ground.
For some time I stood watching the
strange machines, then turned
from the window and walked over
to the door intending to go for a
walk.
Just as placed my hand on the
door there came a knock. l confess
l was rather startled. / opened the
door and a man in hotel uniform
stood before me.
Beg pardon. sir" said he, But
you must remember to register at
the Office before entering room" :"
Where am I?'' I asked.
That's peculiar question:" he
replied, regarding me closely,
Don't you know that you are in the
Twenty-frst Century Hotel?"
Il do not" 1 answered, rather
testify. And will you please tell
me the day and year?''
Yes, sir, this Is the first day of
February, 2001p'
Very well, thank you." said I.
MY name is John Foster; will you
please save me trip to the office
by registering for me?'
He promised to do so and 1 turn
ed back to the machine on the table
thinking to return to 1915 and my
own room. However," thought l
seeing I am here l may as we'll see
some of the scenery before 1 re-
turn. Mr.. Adonis Argyle can walt
few days for his time banisher."
After searching about the room for
some minutes I found out how to
turn out the light in the room, and
in ten minutes 1 was snug in bed
and soon dropped into peaceful
slumber, from which l did not a.
waken until long after sunrise.
Arising and dressing hurriedly, |
started out to see what kind of a
breakfast was to be found. left my
room and perceived that l was in a
large hallway, and although / search
ed from one end of it to the other
not a stairway could 1 find. At the
end of the hallway I saw several
glass paned doors and approaching
them l was quite startled by hearing
a loud voice exclaim, Elevators

but saw no one. so l opened one of
