TRAVELLING BY AIRPIA\E,

The successful flight of the British
dirigiblc across the Atlantic last
week serves to strengthen the belief
that in the not far distant future, a
journey to Europe may be accom-
plished between the hours of break
fast and dinner, with a little time to
shop in London and return in time
for supper. Possibly this is going a
little too strong, but its possibility
is not to be questioned That the
airplane will soon be carrying pas
sengers and mail to London over
night is sure guess. and with de-
velopments in the possibilities OF air
craft in keeping with those which
followed the first automobile. we may

THE TILLNI.iN."

1T was wholly appropriate" says
the Charleston News and Courier
that the first destroyer built at the
Charleston navy yard should have
been named after Senator Tillman
The Charleston navy yard owes much
to Senator Tillman and the Ameri-
can navy owes much 70 him. Fitting
Acknowledgement of this double
debt is made in giving his name to
the staunch warship that slid down
the ways into the waters of the Coop
er river yesterday, (Monday)
1T is to be hoped that the Tillman
will be only the first of many war
craft to be constructed at the
Charleston yard. The few small
boats which had been built there be-
fore the construction of this destroy
er was undertaken were almost too
tiny to be classed as war craft in this
time when even the$lighter types such
as destroyers run to more than 800
feet in length But the building OF
these small fry was a hint of what
the Charleston yard could do and
probably helped to get for this yard
the job of building the Tllman. Now
that a real destroyer has been turn
ed out there in first class style. there
seems to be reason why the Charles
ton yard should be given the op-
portunity to build some more of
them"
1t was most appropriate that the
first destroyer built at Charleston
should have been named in honor of
the memory of the late Senator Till
man. The gifted South Carolina
senator VIII not be forgotten soon.
even though no monuments are rear
ed to his memory and no ships named
in his honor; but it is nevertheless
fitting that the destroyer which was
launched Monday should bear his
name.
