| The Constitution might justly
claim to be the first advocate of the
flying machine as it appears today
and Mr.. Small is living witness to
this assertion, if he were here where
Georgians want him, instead of in
the cold climate OF the north.
While Mr.. Finch was managing
editor in the old office on Broad
street his favorite hobby was flying
machines and he predicted and pic
tured the coming of such machines
as they appear today. Mr.. Small
knows this and if Joe Harris were
here the two together could tell most
humorous stories Of how they were
worked neatly to exhaustion while
Mr.. Finch clipped figure rom COM
mercial papers and dr. med Of the
flying machine-it was well under
stood in the old office that Mr..
Finch's copy would consist in figures
or discussion on the immensity of
space prepared for the flying ma
chine and just waiting to be used
when the genius of mechanics ac-
complished the ideas he had stored
in his brain.
Figures and flying, that was why
me and Brown ever came in contact
with the popular editor; he learned
that l was an edict in figures and
could never master the multiplica-
tion table save the fives and tens,
and because of my hatred for figures
he had such pity for me that he
would allow me and Brown to ap-
proach him and listen to his ideas
about the flying machines, while he
lost no time in clipping column of
figures that his eyes might find in
the commercial columns of the big
exchanges.
An Early Genius.
At that time Brown became 50
filled with the idea Of flying from
hearing Mr.. Finch, that nothing
would do but what he must strive to
accomplish by his mechanical genius
what had been so forcibly impressed.
It would take book to tell the ups
and downs, the expense and troubles
with his wife in his efforts, but he
at last arrived at the point where he
thought that little help in starting
was all that was needed to make his
machine flying success.
My old friend studied out plan
for getting his start, and securing
the aid of several young fellows,
they clum a slim hickory sapling,
bending it down and holding it till
Brown got his machine fixed in the
sapling's top, took his seat and give
the word for the tree to be turned.
loose. Up snapped the sapling and
up went Browns machine. He flew,
and that was forty years ago, and
he is still complaining of the ride he
took and has advised ever since that
it's wise to be careful about being
impressed.
From that day to this Brown has
been very careful about experiment.

cohlplish ones aims is not always the
worst that could happen. The youth

the report says. who are thoroughly
competent In woodcraft. and well versed
in the knowledge of 6sh and game.
This. Of course would not prevent
man not registered from guiding. but
would result in the vaoationists choos-
ing. in most instances. the Registered
guides whom they would know TO W

The commission is convinced by the
intensive work that it has been doing

and the vacationists.
The commission is presenting the mat
