Lindbergh Makes
Transatlantic Flight
New York to Paris Nonstop Flight
Accomplished in 33 2 Hours;
Is Given Ovation

Farls, May 21.-Captain Charles
A. Lindbergh, the young American
aviator, who hoped off from New
York yesterday morning all alone in
MS monoplane, arrived in Paris to-
night, safe and sound, as everyone
hoped he would.
The sandy-haired son Of the middle
west dropped down out of the dark
ness at LIE Bourget flying field, Il
few miles from Paris, at 1921
o'c ock tonight (5:21 p. m. New York
time) only 33 1-2 hours after leaving
Long Island-the first man in his
tory to go from New York to Paris
without changing his seat.
To the young American it was
seemingly merely the achievement of
an ambition. To Paris, to France,
to America, to the world, his landing
tonight made him the greatest of
heroes mankind has produced since
the air became a means of travel. A
crowd Of at least 25,OOO surrounded
his plane, the "Spirnt of St. Louis" 3"
when it came to earth after its
epochal voyage from the new world
to the old The airman was lifted
from the seat, where for two days
and night he sat fixed, guiding his
plane over land and sea, and for
40 minutes he was hardly able to
ia k or do anything else, except let
himself be carried along by mass
of men made delirious with Joy at his
achievement
Never has an aviator of any ma
ton, even king or ruler, had greater
or more spontaneous welcome from
the heart of the common people of
France. The very recklessness of his
endeavor, as it appeared, appealed to
the quick emotional imagination of
Frenchmen, and they were quick to
respond with everything their own
hearts could give.
All ties of nationalism. were for
gotten by the lie Bourget throng.
They saw in Lindburgh only a man
who had brilliantly gambled with
death, and won. There was regret,
of course, for Nunge3ser and Coli,
and regret, too, that the daring
Frenchmen had not been the first.
But there was no bitterness in their
greeting of the American winner.

Successful Fordson
Tractor Demonstration

Quite a number of farmers ard
others interested attended the Ford
son tractor demonstration by the
Taylor Motor Company here last
Thursday afternoon. A Sawmill,
threshing machine and hay-baler
had been placed on Water street for
the demonstration, and during the
afternoon several logs were ripped
into lumber, load of oats was
threshed and straw baled, the trac-
tor furnishing ample power for the
operation of the machinery.
During the afternoon one-reel
moving picture of the tractor in oper-
alton in the forests of the northwest
was shown, and quite bit of inter
est was created by the demonstration,
as result of which quite a number
of the tractors will be sold to farmers
of this section.
The sawmill and threshing machine
used in the demonstration are manu-
factured by the J. A. Turner Com
pany, of Statesville, for which the
Taylor Motor Company has the agen-
cy for this section.
Mn Russell D. Hodges, of the Tay-
lor Motor Company, said he was well
pleased with the number of people
attending the demonstration and the
interest shown. "The main idea of
the demonstration, said Mr. Hodges,
was to create interest in improved
farm methods, and we believe that
when the farmer becomes thoroughly
familiar with what a tractor will do,
it will largely supplant horsepower on
the farms, even in this mountainous
country. A tractor will do the work
of several horses, and therefore, not
as expensive, and will, eventually be
used by every pretentious farmer in
the county"

quiet her. A daughter, Mrs. Burt
Moss, of fremont avenue, arrived a
short time after her father died.
