engineering at Faraday House, Lon
don. winning a degree.
Once more he came to the States
and got position with the Westing-
house Electric Co. He watched the
Wright brothers at work In their early
airplane ventures, and became so in.
tereSted that he went into airplane
building himself. He constructed the
first American.built monoplane to fly
in this country. and he and Henry
Walden established a plant at Mineola,
Y, for the building of planes. Dy.
otis attainments as a flyer are shown
by the fact that he has several rec.
ords to his credit.
In 1909 he went to Europe to study
aviation methods there, and was one
OF the first hundred pilots licensed by
the British government Returning
TO the United States in 1911, he got

plane routes for the PERUVIAN govern
ment. In 1919 he made an Andean
raiiroad survey, travelling 1000 miles
on muleback. The next year he was
commissioned to investigate the killing

dians. In 1921 he joined a mining ex.
petition into central Peru. In 1922
came expeditions into northern Peru

The great Perseid display began

No,csro Killer Released
Oh, $1,000 Bail Thursday

Benny Page, colored, who is alleged
70 have killed George Lake near Miles
ton, and since has been confined to the
county Jail. was released from custody
after making a $1,000 bail Thursday. The
hail was established by agreement be-
tween Attorneys Barbour of Yazoo City
fer the state, and Pepper of Lexington,
for the defense. The case did not come
up in open court, but the bail in ques-
ton was set by Judge Reid after the
agreement between the attorneys had
been reached.
The negro, Benny Page, was arrested
under the charge of murder, and will
presumably be tried under that charge
at the next sitting of the circuit court.

Doctor Drowned
Near Thornton; At
tempts to Aid Negro

shocking tragedy occurred near
Kirk, of that place, and "a negro boy
were drowned. 1t is reported that DR..
Kirk and the boy, Thomas, aged Ia, were
rowing in boat on Upton Lake, when
il. some manner the boy became over
balanced and fell into the water. DR..
Kirk Immediately dived overheard to
save him whenu the boy in frenzy of
fear, grabbed him around the neck in
& hold that could not be broken, and
witnessed by the young wife of DR.. Kirk
and young boy who Immediately Sc
cured aid. The bodies were located
near the spot of the tragedy few feet
apart and within about one hour after
the drowning occurred.
DR.. Kirk who was about % years of
age, had been living in Thornton for
only about month, having moved there
from Tutwiler. He was married and
MS mother and father were also living
with him at Thornton. The body was
prepared for burial and shipped to Nc
Cool, the old home of the unfortunate
young man.
A still more pathetic note is added in
the reported fact that the water at the
place of drowning was not deep enough
to drown the victim he stood on his
feet.

The past few weeks have witnessed
many accomplishments in the paving
work being done in the city under con-
tract by E. A. Finch and all streets
embraced in the program have been
completed as to the curb and gutter
and work of grading and excavation is
now being started preparatory to lay
ing of concrete foundation for the pave
ment proper. Spring and Boulevard
streets have been blocked off from traf-
fic, and in all probability will be the
Bad weather has retarded much Of the
work but with the advent of clear skies,
these handicaps will soon be thing of
the past, and work rushed to compile
ton. Many property owners are plan
hing improvements that will coincide
With the permanent work done, and eX
surrounding grounds will be done at
the earliest possible moment. Already
the Standard Oil Company's filling sta
tion has changed it's property lines to
conform to the new changes on Tchula
Street.
1t is also stated that on Tchula street,
the property owners will make other
changes beyond the paving extension to-
wards widening the street by the use of
lorua tiIinp and elm natinp the bitches
These changes will in all probability
extend beyond the high school property
and make this street one of the best
looking streets in the city.
Permanent improvements are always
a welcome addition to town, and Lex
ington is indeed fortunate in being num-
bered among the cities of the state plan
ming these features.

More Tags Arrive
Enough to Go Around

A second shipment of 1927 auto tags,
numbering 1900, has been received at
the sheriff's office, and is now being
distributed to the automobile owners
of Holmes county. The first lot re-
ceived some time ago, numbering 1900
tags was exhausted in about a week,
and it is felt that the new lot will be
quickly taken up by the automobiles
of the county. The total number OF
cars licensed last year was little more
than three thousand. The total num-
ber of taks now received for this year
totals $500. so it is felt that sufficient
tags are now on hand to license all cars
in the county, with plentiful amount
left over to take care of the cars sold
in the future for some months.
No settlement has yet been made OF
the test case to determine whether the
sheriff should exact damage from auto
been tardy in payment. 1t will be re-
membered that some weeks ago when 1T
was seen that tags could not arrive IN
time to license all cars within the
date specified by law, that meeting OF
all sheriffs was called in Jackson, where
it was agreed not to exact penalty,
since the fault was in no way the tax
payers, and the attorney general and the
revenue agent agreed not to sue tor such
non-collection of penalties. Later
however, some of the companies bonding
the sheriffs, figured that the future at
torney generals and revenue agents were
not bound by this agreement, and or
dered the sheriffs to exact the penalty
or the bond would be cancelled. A
great test suit was Immediately ordered,
which will probably be held within the
ext thirty days.
Fortunately no such situation con-
fronts the sheriff of Holmes county,
and no penalty is being exacted. Sher-
if McRae cannot know what ruling will
come in the future, but at present he is
selling the tags at the regular price
and doing land-office business.
1t is not known just how long the no.
penalty period will continues and Sher-
iff McRae does not say definitely, for
he does not know. 1t is understood,
however, that the automobile owners
