ENRAGE INMATE IS
KILLED BY A GUARD
Fatal ARRAY AT Brownsville State Hos
pigal For Colored 4 Few
Days Ago.

In order to save their own lives and
protect other patients, while trying
to subdue an insanely murderous at
tack upon them, in the dining-room of
the State Hospital for Colored Insane
at Brownsville, located about IL miles
from Annapolis, last Thursday night,
guards at the institution inflicted in
iuries which the next day resulted in
the death of the unfortunate negro, ac-
cording to announcement just made.
Charles Miller, a 35-year old in
mate of the asylum, ran amuck during
the supper hour, and when he had
finally been subdued it was found ne
cessary to send him to a Baltimore
hospital, where he died late Friday
AFTERNOON He was, as soon as his
serious condition was realized, rush
ed to Baltimore in an ambulance.
Coroner W. T. Riley held an inquest
at the Central Police Station, Balti-
more, and after an exhaustive exami-
nation of witnesses the jury found that
Miller came to his death as the re-
suit OF fight with James Casey, a
| guard, and that the injuries were ac-
cidentally received. Miller was re-
garded by the Brownsville guards as
a dangerous man when his anger was
aroused. During his four years at the
institution he had attacked number
of inmates, but despite this he was
not deprived of certain liberties.
Two hundred and fifty men were at
supper Thursday night when Miller
I left his chair and hit another inmate
with a piece.o bread One of the at
tendants went to Miller, patted him
on the back and told him to behave
himself. Miller, according to wit
,nesses, jumped up and made a vicious
swing with his fist. Two guards,
James Casey and J. H. Curry, tried
l to get him to leave the room. but ne
! turned on both men. Casey seized the
negro and both fell to the cement
floor The Negroes head struck the
floor and Casey fell on top Of him, his
knee striking Miller's abdomen a
heavy blow.

THE U. S. NAVY
TRIPLED IN SIZE
Since The ar Began Multi
Piled Itself By Thirteen Plans
For Air Service Call For In
crease Hundred Fold

American aviation units have NOV
ed up TO stations Immediately behind
the front in France The vanguard OF
the new army of the air for which
Congress voted s64e, 900 900 last sum
mer is about TO join the forces OF
land and sea in action against the
Germans
The Navy has tripled in size since
the war began, and the army has
multiplied itself by thirteen. These
are rapid increases. But the first
year plans for the air service call for
an increase of more than a hundred
fold.
Last spring the Aviation Corps had
less than 200 airplanes of all degrees
Of serviceability. Now a feet Of o.
600 planes is being built When war
began there were 70 ayiators. A force
Of 10000 aviators is being trained.
The total personnel of the old flying
corps, ground workers as well as
fliers, was 1000 The total person
mel of the new flying corps is 100000.
Before any real fighting planes
could be turned ont a new American
industry had to be created. This is
the great task that has quietly been
accomplished in the last Eve months.
When the Aircraft Production Board
started its work only two COM
panies manufacturing airplanes were
in operation in America, and the ma
chimes they had been making for the
Allies were Of a type servicable only
for practice flights.
The first move Of the Board was to
stop negotiations for the use Of ex-
listing patents, and to set men at work
designing a new airplane engine
which should comprise as many good
points of the different patents as
these man cared to use In a week
twenty experts working together had
evolved the Liberty Motor, which
Secretary Baker has called the great
est achievement of the war so far.
The Liberty Motor is a model of
Standardization. 1t is built with four
cylinders, or with eight, or with
twelve, and the same parts are in
Interchangeable for all three Of the diff
ferent sizes. The greatest automo-
bile factories in the world have been
provided with themachinery neces-
sary for turning out these motors
the factories that have supplied the
United States with its 100000 auto
mobiles when all the rest of the world
gets along with only 100000
1t has been necessary ali along
not to interfere with the supply Of
raw materials, particularly spruce,
and of certain completed aeroplane
parts, to the flying forces of our
Allies.
In return for these materials the AL
lies are giving US the rich benefit Of
their experience. For months young
Americans have been in training for
the Air Corps on the flying fields of
England and France. On a dozen or
more. of new flying fields in America
veteran fiiers from the western front
are helping in the preliminary train
ing of our new aviators.
AS to whether the war can be won
in the air there seem to be two opin-
ions. AT any rate the Aviation Sec
ton is not leaving any stones I'M

A MANS DUTY.

The case of Wallace Davis of Lit tie Rock contains a lesson that ought to be considered by every young man of Arkansas who is eligible to mili- tary duty, and whose plain duty it is to respond to the call of his country
 This paper is not intimately ac- quainted with the case of young Da- wis. We have read only the news paper reports.
 These reports indicate that Davis should be in Class One of the draft while they showed that he was anx- ious to secure deferred classification because of dependents, who, it was shown later, do not exist.
 Davis is the son of Jeff Davis, al one time the strongest politician 1T Arkansas, man who had hold up on the people that could not be loos- ened. This popularity of the father of course enabled the son to follow closely in the paternal footsteps, and many predicted that some day, wher he became more mature in age ano < experience, that Wallace Davis woulc be heard from in state politics.
 But today, if we are to infer right Ny, Wallace Davis is as "dead" as the proverbial door nail.
 If Wallace Davis had responded te the call of his country, gone on the ' battlefield, distinguished himself, he could have received most anything he asked for when he returned after the war is won.
 So it will be with every young mar who is able to fight.
 After the war is over the public will not be slow to remember the mar who gladly did his duty and not quick to forget the man who attempted to shirk plain obligation.

"WORTH THOUSANDS
 OF DOLLARS TO FEEL
 LIKE I DO," HE SAYS
After Twenty Years Suffering He Finds Relief At Last By Taking Tanlac - Gains Eleven
 Pounds in Weight.

"It's worth thousands of dollars to feel like I do now, since Tanlac has taken away the trouble that kept me in misery for the last twenty years" :" said M. B. Daniel, well-known far mer, living on Route No. 2 out O. Abbeville, Ga, few days ago.
 "Whenever a man suffers as long as l did, he gets to the place where he feels like he's no more good in this world" he continued, land that's just the way 1 had begun to feel. Long ago I got so weak I couldn't carry on my work, for spells of stomach trou ble and nervousness just made it torture for me to try to eat, and the trouble I had wouldn't let me sleep at all Many night l have sat up until morning, so shaky and nervous I couldn't even doze off. My heart would flutter and act queer until 1 was afraid it would stop, and I got so blue and discouraged I felt like I didn't much care if it did.
 "I'd been well enough satisfied just to have my sufferings relieved, but that's not all Tanlac has done for mel have gained eleven pounds in weight-since I started taking it. I can eat as hearty a meal as if I had never had a stomach trouble at all, and my strength has come back so I can do as much work in day as I ever could before I took sick. just feel like a new man all over, and will be glad to tell anybody who wants to know, if they will write me, just what this wonderful medicine, Tan
