FLIGHT LAW MUST BE REVISED

For the third time, now, and with
in not many weeks, a dirigible bal
loon has taken fire from a spark of
mysterious origin and been almost
instantaneously destroyed. The first
of these accidents, the one that hap
pened near Baltimore, resulted in no
loss of life, but only because the
airship was at anchor on the ground
and it's crew were not on board.
When a dirigible was blown up in,
and perhaps by, thunderstorm, the
other day off the coast of England,
it's whole crew persisted, and now
comes the still more terrible disaster
in Chicago, with fatalities not only
among the men operating the bal
loon, but also among the employees
of the bank building upon and into
which it fell with all the effect of
several incendiary bombs of the
largest size.
These occurrences not only illus
trate and emphasize the peculiar and
dreadful dangers incidental to the
use of the ighter-than-air machines,
they bring most forcibly to attention
the need of reviving and again en-
forcing the ordinances passed by
most cities soon after aerial journey
ings became possible for men, for
bidding and penalizing flight over
municipal territory.
While the war was in progress,
these ordinances, for what then
seemed, and probably were, suffici-
ent reasons, were allowed to become
"dead letters" Aviators then flew
where they chose, and often over
cities in response to invitations more
or less urgent from the residents of
them. So far as known, however,
none of these ordinances were re-
pealed, and, as the excuses>for their
suspension are now passed, they
should again be enforced. Such en-
forcement will not interfere at all
with the training of aviators of any
kind, or with their activities, which
every day are becoming more va
ried and valuable. 1t is, therefore, in
every way commendable, and it is
especially necessary that dirigible
balloons should not pass over or
hover above areas at all densely in
habited.-New York Times.

PENNY POSTAGE.

Congressman Moon, of Tennessee,
is nothing if not sanguine when he
says that one-cent letter postage can
be established and the postoffice de-
partment still earn surplus of
twenty-five million dollars year.
He stipulated, however, that other
classes of mail "shall be made to pay
the cost of handling" Well, we are
thankful enough for the return OF
the two-cent letter and the one-cent
postal card to let further reform rest
for the nonce. In the postotflce,
moreover, good service is the public's
prime demand, and cost secondary
consideration.
Yet we may look forward to
time, though cautious oracles will
name no date, when Mr.. Moons op-
t:misI.i shall be fulfilled. A recent
writer, recalling the British postal re-
form of 1889, which was the fore
runner of cheap postage throughout
the world, observes that it was a
model of what every innovation OF
the kind out to be-'scientifc, mathe-
matical, clearly thought out, reason
ably imaginative, disinterested and
democratic" Of Rowland Hill, the
father of that achievement, we are
told that he could not have failed
long with penny postage, because
the proposal had been so intently
studied, particularly on the economic
side, that there was simply no case
against it." The ridicule of bureau
Gratis and a few other interested or
naturally contemptuous persons was
so overwhelmed by public opinion
that Parliament appointed a special
committee Of inquiry, and in less
than three years from the time Hill
began his studies, penny postage was
on the statute books"
It will be observed, however, that
postal responsibilities in the United
States of America today are incom-
parably heavier and more complex
than in the British Isles eighty years
ago. Still, with airplanes and a
wealth of other inventions, we may
score a yet greater reform, if we find
another Rowland Hill.-The Atlanta
Journal.

ROMANTIC WEDDING
ON SUNSET MOUNTAIN

A wedding of interest was that
of Miss Lucy Zachary, of Sylvia, N.
c., to Mr.. J. Robert Cochran of
Abbeville,- S. c., which took place
July 16, on top of Sunset Mountain.
The wedding party motored from
Waynesville to Asheville, then in
the afternoon on to Sunset. Just
as the sun was falling behind the
distant hilltops the impressive ring
ceremony was performed by DR.. E..
K. McLarty, pastor of the Central
M. E. Church, of Asheville, in the
presence of a few immediate rela-
tives and friends of the bride . and
groom. $,
The bride was never more beauti-
full, in handsome gown of beaded
white duchess satin. The maid of
honor, Miss Jessie Zachary, q, sister
of the bride, wore blue georgette
crepe. Acting as best man was Mr..
Henry G. Chatten, of Atlanta, Ga.
Accompanying were Miss jamie Cow
ard, of Sylvia; Miss Lillian Green,
of Waynesville; Miss Dixie Coward,
of Webster; DR.. L. J. Hooper, of
Asheville, and Mr.. o. D. Biddy, of
Hendersorville. ~
Mrs. Cochran is the daughter of
the late DR.. ]. M. Zachary and Mrs.
Alice Zachary Norton, of Cashiers,
North Carolina.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran will make
their future home in Atanta.-The

COTTON CROP AND PRICES.

Mr.. A. R. Marsh, Editor of the
Economic World of New York, and
a we'll known cotton authority, pre-
sents the following opinion of the
cotton situation:
"The Department of Agriculture
places the expectancy of the crop of
1919-1e2O at 1O,9s6,OOO bales of
lint cotton, as compared with an ac-
tual yield of 13,O40,592 bales last
year, 100000 bales two years
ago, II, ,45O, 900 three years ago, and
11,192,00O bales four years ago.
"There is nothing that can be
called comforting for the trade in
the successive figures of the cotton
crops since 1914, as just given. For
merly it was the tradition of the
trade, based upon long experience,
that three short crops of cotton in
succession in the United States are
almost beyond the bounds of posi-
bility. Yet we have already had four
short crops in succession since the
monster crop of 1914, and there is
every reason for thinking that the
present seasons crop will constitute
the fifth short crop of the series.
Everybody in the trade knows that,
but for the reduction in consumption
brought about by the war, so great
a falling off in Americas production
of raw cotton as these. five short
crops represent would have meant
the severest kind of cotton famine
al over the world and a rise of the
-:-.::c2 of American cotton to amazing
he..~ht3. Indeed, there are the best of
ree:o7s for thinking that, if there
had been no war at all, the present
price of cotton would be Indefinitely
higher than it actually is.
''It is scarcely to be wondered at
that considerations of this order, in
disputably based upon realities, con-
firm the majority of the trade in it's
confident belief that before the 1919
crop of American cotton has been
marketed price levels much above
those now obtaaiRs will be reached
This belief, morsdr F, is probably in
accord with the best judgment of
the most experienced and conserva-
tive cotton merchants. At the same
time, it has to be remembered that it
is of the very nature of great COM
modify markets that their major
price movements in either direction
upward or downward-shouh con-
sist of a series of ebbsSand flows,
and that there are only too often
most discouraging postponements OF
events that arc clearly foreseen and
that in the end come to pass"

menfs Planned

Senator McGarry's bill relative to
land under and along Newtown Creek
has the support of Queens and Brook
iyn business interests.
The bill will permit the City OF
New York TO secure all right, title and
interest that the state may have in
and to all the lands under water in
Newtown Greek between the original
line of high water and the perhead
line which may be established by the
Secretary Of War.

New York City to enter into an agree
mert with the Federal government
for the dredging of Newtown Greek
and the removal OF Mussel Island, and
authorize them to exchange land I'M
der water acquired through this act
for lands of private owners.
The Importance Of this improve
ment TO Queens and Brooklyn cannot
be overestimsted, according to state
ment of the greensboro Chamber of
Commerce. The records show that
there is a greater commerce on the
four miles OF Newtown Greek than on
the 4 COO miles of the Mississippi
River. The tonnage OF the commerce
carried annually on this stream is
valued at more than a quarter OF
billion dollars.

taxes have been heavy, the estate de-
cided to find way OF getting some
financial return from the realty. Al
iteration of the building into studios or
fats was suggested. AS the changes
could be made at little expense and
the return promised was large, the
owners decided try out the expedient.
Pease & Gilman have sign on the
building announcing to the public that
within are studios awaiting takers.
The first floor of the house has been
turned into four-room suite and the
upper floors have been altered into two
two-room suites, with the top floor
given over TO quarters for the use OF
servants. Estimated by the rentals de-

The other house is at rs Park Avenue,
which is on the east side of the way.
adjoining the northeast corner of
Thirty-fifth Street. The dwelling, FIVE
stories high, was made over into fats
shortly after the Court of Appeals de-
clded that flats were not barred by the
Murray Hill restrictive covenant. and
That the property at the southeast
corner of Madison Avenue and Thirty
eighth Street, the property at issue,
could be improved with an apartment
house as tall as the building authori-
ties would permit.
Under this decision the use of the
dwelling opposite the Morgan home
colony is within the law. The deci-
sion, which lifted the bar protecting
Murray Hill, was based on q techni-
callty, the courts assuming that an
apartment house was not factory,
but residing place for people,
which was all the covenant required.
The defenders of the covenant argued
that the meaning and intent of the
restrlctlon was not alone that a
building be used for residential pur-
poses, but that it be for the exclusv i've
use of single family or folks who
were related. But the courts would
not see the covenant in that hight and
told the owners of the property at
Madison Avenue and Thirty-eighth
street that they were legally justified
IN improving the corner with an apart
ment house
