In the death of Capt. James Wood
ward Howard, which occurred at his
home in this city Sunday morning.
Aberdeen lost one of its most ven
cradle citizens; Monroe county one
of its most valuable and enterpris-
ing men, and the State a veteran
who had stood for and had been as
sociated with the most sacred ideals
of the old South.
In the sixties when Southern
chivalry was called to arms to de-
fend what all Dixie then believed TO
be right, Mr.. Howard volunteered in
the Southern army and served as
captain in Major Sanders brigade,
distinguishing himself as a brave.
courageous soldier throughout the
four years of the war. and was
wounded in North Carolina suisse
queut to Gen. Lees surrender.
After the war was over he settled
in Aberdeen and piled his energy
and talents towards demonstrating
and rehabilitating the war devasted
section. In the days of reconstruc-
ton. when clear heads and brave
hearts were needed to steer the
South's destiny safely through those
troublous times, no counsel was
wiser nOr courage more dependable
than was that of Capt. Howard.
Through the years. IA the old
South with its hallowed traditions
merged into the new South begin
ming to be awakened by the auspi-
cious environments of changed con-
ditions, Capt. Howard, along with
thousands of others who had fought
to preserve the ideals and customs
of their beloved Southland. ccom
modated himself to the new or
der of things and. builded upon the
ruins of a desOlated country a far
more enduring governmental struct-
ure. Capt. Howard filled many
prominent positions of trust. among
them sheriff of Monroe county. All
these places he filled with credit and
efficiency.
Shortly after this country en-
tered into the war against the
central powers, he organized a
company of Confederate veterans,
Of which he was elected captain,
and offered its service to President
Wilson. He was "A man generally |
-evered and loved by all that knew

AN II AIRCRAF 7
BARRAGE. Is
FEARED
(By Associated Press)

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE-Jan.
| 1.-THE anti-aircraft barrage is to
day the most dreaded enemy weapon
which the airman has to face in his
| flights over the lines. In the midst
of sea of bursting shells, the air
plane bobs up and down like 4 ship
in a violent storm. The conclusions
which the shells make in bursting
produce a swift succession of air DOC
kets and air bumps, and it is abso.
lutely impossible to keep a machine
steady through them. Meanwhile
there is the strain of knowing always
that the next instant one of the thous-
ands of flying shell splinters may reach
a vital spot in either machine or ri
lot
Yet it is not possible to avoid fly
ing through a barrage at time The
latest type of anti-atrcraft guns can
place a barrage as high as 23 900 feet.
and it is not practical to turn about
and try to climb over the barrage.
It takes a very highly specialized
scout machine to climb to $4,000 feet,
and the heavier machines cannot
achieve that altitude under any cir.
cumstances.
The longer the airman desitates TOT
run the barrage, the longer he is ex-
posed to the fire. Anti-aircraft gun
merry at the front has now reached
point where the range is calculated to |
nicely almost instantaneousIy by I
processes of triangulation and, there,
fore, the flyer who hesitates is lost
The only thing he can do is to take
his chance, just as a ship at sea takes
a storm and accepts it's chances of
weathering the gale.
Next to the barrage the most fear
ed of the ground defenses is the
cluster" This is a group of six anti
aircraft shells, sent up togetheFSand
placed just ahead of the machine,
with one shell aimed to burst the tip
of the fuselage, two on each side of
it, two on each side just ahead, and
one farther and directly ahead.
The side-slip is the fayorite protec-
ton against these CLUSTERS" The an.
ti-aircraft gunners get their range
nowadays so accurately that the
slightest move out of range is fairly
certain to get the machine out of
danger way-unless the gunners have
anticipated this move, as they some
times do, by placing another cluster
at TIC lllOoL ilhCly SpOI IOI oil CApCOt-t
ed side-slip.
The side-slip is produced by tipping
the plane down slightly, and while
flying ahead, slithering over sideways.
and down thus changing the range
without seeming to do so, for the gum
ner looking up see as much of the
machine as before and is justified in
estimating its height to be the same
In reality the machine is a little to-
one side and several hundred feet low
er as the result of his skillful side
slip.
Below a height of 5000 feet anti
aircraft guns cannot be used to ad-
vantage, but machine-guns and rifles
provide equally dangerous enemies. A
machine-gun playing stream of 500
bullets a minute Is no mean foe, even

Statesmen Must Be Healthy.

1.-THE vital action of the brain de-
Ponds on the physical being and the

results of health. Every man should
have a fad or hobby, something that
will give him exercise to prevent that
drowsy feeling that inactive men in
variably have. If man gains weight
after he Is thirty-fve years old he
should become alarmed. The first re-
quisites to make real man is to give

made by DR.. NJ. J. Bliem at the Sales

into the mystery and exhume what

digging and prying sufficed to get it

And that was the soul of the licen-

How Do Men Break DOWN.

Be assured that there is no chance
of your breaking down-although there
will be times when you will try TO
fool yourself with this idea. This
thought Of breaking down indeed is
one of the illusions of mediocrity. 1t
Is the excuse which every lazy man
presents to himself. 1t is moral astig-
matism. The great fact is that men
do not break down from overwork so
much as is commonly supposed. AS
they go upward in the scale OF in
creased activity. increased RESPONSE
bilitry only acts upon them as nat
ural stimulant and carries them along.
If hard work and worry killed men so
easily. most of the successful business
men of America would be dead al.
ready. MOI What kills men is due
more to what they take into their
stomachs rather than what they take
into their minds.-Thomas L. Mason.
