KING OF. THE AIR
To Be AT AAMl|NE
Worlds Greatest Aviator Com.
Ing to State Fair.

Art Smith, king of the Air." the
leading amusement feature at tho
great Frisco Exposition for many
months, has no equal in the aeroplane
game. He is to appear at the Mime
sofa State Fair, Sept. to II, as one
of it's main entertainment attractions.
Performances will be given each after
noon and evening, and there will be
none who sees him who will doubt his
supremacy as an aviator.
Makes One Gasp.
1t makes one gasp to see Smith in
the air. His daring rolls from side
to side, and his successive loops
within thousand feet of the ground,
all fill one with wonder. He has
turned as many as thirty loops in sue
cession. Nor are they the ordinary
loops, for he flops over and over like
a falling leaf.
At night his performance is espe-
cially brilliant. Rising in the dark
ness he disappears completely from
view. Then suddenly he flashes on
series of colored lights, appearing
green, yellow, and red against the
inky background. Towards the close
of his evening flight he loops the loop
in a blaze of fireworks.
The story of Art Smiths life reads
like a chapter from a dime novel. No
aeroplanist ever experienced the
things he has encountered.
The first machine he ever drove was
a crude one of his own design. Time
after time he tried to make it fly and
almost lost his life in the attempts.
The neighbors called him worthless
and crazy. They do not think so now.
He has no rivals. ..-s

Battle in Air Between Two Aero
planes a Thrilling Feature
at Great Minnesota State
Fair, Sept. 6 to Il. X

A battle in the air between two
aeroplanes is to be fought at the Min
nesOta State Fair, September II, one
of the most thrilling features that has
ever appeared at Hamline. The at
traction has been booked only after
weeks OF negotiations.
One aeroplane will attempt to de-
stroy fortified city in the enemy's
country by circling above it and drop
ping bombs upon it. The other ma
chine will defend the city, and try to
put an end to the invader by aero
plane gun-fire and bombs. Instantly
the battle will open. The crack of
rifles and the roar of cannon from
below, where troops have gathered to
assist the home aeroplane, will accen-
tuate the battle in the air.
Rush Headon.
For a while each ship will attempt
to Outmaneuver the other All kinds
of thrilling dips and dives will be
taken, just as they take place in the
World War across the Atlantic in the
great air battles that are being fought.
Finally, failing in attacks by gun-fire
and bombs, the two machines will
rush headlong at each other. They
will meet in midair. One of the &C.
cupants of the hostile craft will fall
over and over to the earth. The ship,
badly wounded, will plunge straight
down. Mortified, spectators close their
eyes as man and machine drop to the
ground. Now they are only 800 feet
from the earth, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300
it certainly is a thriller.
The fact that this great battle is to
be fought on the last day of the fair,
Sept. II, is certain to make this day
the biggest one ever held at the Min
nesota State Fair.

Driven from Cummings, Ga.
Augusta, Ca, Supt:-As the result
of trouble in Forsythe county and in
the neighboring territory between
whites and blacks, all colored men
have been barred from entering the
county. This was brought out clearly
today by the experience of Hudson
Moore, one of the most prominent At
lantans, who went to Cummings on
legal business and took along with
him colored nurse and colored chauf-
feur.
While he was in the courthouse he
heard commotion outside, and rush
ing out he found crowd of several
hundred gathered around the two serv-
ants, threatening them. Mr.. Moore
took his two employees in his automo.
bile and rushed them out of the coun-
ty.
