Emory Man Suicides
in Spell Dependency;
Was Buried Monday

W. E. Harrison, 48, farmer living near
Lexington who committed suicide Sat-
urday afternoon, was buried in the En-
ory cemetery Monday afternoon follow
ing services held in the Harrell Under
taking Parlor at $500 p. M, conducted
by Rev. Standifer Raper.
Several years ago Mr.. Harrison, while
engaged in carpentering work, fell from
nent injuries. These injuries not only
proved expensive at the time, but in
terfered with the earning Of his live
lihood, and as result he has been under
severe financial strain. This, it is
generally thought, was the cause of the
rash act that put an end to his life.
Mr.. Harrison was in Lexington Satur-
day afternoon, and it is said that he
told friend during the forenoon that
if he should die any time soon, that he
wanted his second son, Albert, to take
care of his family and mother. Albert
Harrison, who was called in time to
talk to his father before death inter
vened, stated that the dying man said
that he wanted to die rather than have
his character runied."
An eyewitness, in describing the
tragedy, said Mr.. Harrison entered the
door of his home at about o'clock
Saturday night and told his wife that
he was tired of living and was going
back into a room and end it all. She
attempted to restrain him, and he, see-
ing that she might wrestle the revolver
from him, turned the weapon upon his
body and fired. The bullet entered just
above the heart, ranged downward
through the lung, and came out between
the second and third ribs. DR.. Stephen
son was Immediately called to attend-

Skyscrauers and Fire.

The other night a fire occurred in
the scaffolding OF a skyscraper tower
under construction in New York City.
The blaze, which broke out in the
thirty eighth story, practically burned
itself out because it was impossible for
the firehghters to reach it with streams
of water, owing to lack of pressure.
The damage was broadly estimated at
from 500, 900 to 1925, 900. Fortunately
no other fires were caused by the drop
ping of embers, which were showered
from the pillar of flame over wide
area, although some losses were suf.
fered by the owners of automobiles
standing in the streets. the tops of
which were singed and in some cases
ruined.
OF far more importance than the
question of immediate damage, how
ever, is that of the future with regard
to the height of structures. Is there q
limit of altitude beyond which it is un
safe to go on the score OF fire risk.
These lofty constructions are fire
proof, being built of stone. concrete
and steel, with minimum Of wood

been offered. Their record-seeklng Is
an incidental feature of their later en-
deavor. Taking off at $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning, they aimed first at
the Kelly-Macready record of Sc hours,
minutes and "a seconds, made in
1928, at Dayton. They then went
after the world record of As hours, II
minutes and 50 seconds, made in 1925,
in France. They passed that point
this morning at 6:42:39, and then con-
tinued to establish the new mark of
fifty hours, which it is believed will
give them chance for the New York
to-Paris flight, if repeated.
Nonstop flying tests are valuable.
They demonstrate the capacity of ma
chimes and men. 1t is evident that
If the airplane is to be a practicable
commercial utility for long distances
it must be developed to a. point of
stability and endurance adequate for
protracted flying. There are two fac
tors on the mechanical side, the dura.
bility of the plane and the fuel supply.
In flight plane is subjected to in
tense vibration. Parts Of the appara.
tus are under severe strain and are
likely to wear and weaken. 1t has
airplane makers to strengthen as we'll
as TO simplify, and 1t is evident from
this latest performance that plane
has been produced which is capable
of withstanding protracted continuous
use for a period sufficient TO cover
several thousand miles.
This present test flight has been
made by two men who doubtless have

Of the machine. A larger plane might
carry three, reducing each mans turn
at the controls, or a still larger one
could carry four pilots. Here enters
new factor into the equation. AS
the plane is increased in size and as
additional passengers are carried, its
fuel demands are increased. Refuel.
ing from the air is a dangerous and
difficult undertaking. 1t has, however,
been accomplished, but it is not be-
lieved to be a practicable method of
permitting long-range flying.
Conquest of the Atlantic Ocean by
airplane. already effected on shorter
ranges than from New York to Paris,
is within sight. Nonstop flying from
coast to coast is believed to be as.
sured as the plane is perfected in
strength and fuel capacity. This
present test, with its attainment of
the fifty-hour range, is to be viewed
as a decided step toward accomplish.
