12,499 Passe gers Ride
Planes During First
q Months of 1880

Pan American Anyways has car
ried a total Of i2.499 passengers dur
Ing the first four months OF 1880,
according to figures made public by
J. T. Trippe, president Of the line.
More than three million passenger
miles have been flown without mis-
hap since the first Of the year. With
the recent opening Of the direct u. S.
Air Mail Service by Colonel Charles
A Lindbergh. technical advisor Of
Pan American Always, across the
Caribbean, the length Of airways
on the Pan American system under
regular kchedule has been increased
over fourteen thousand miles total.
by more than a thousand miles TO
strengthening the lines position as
the greatest international air trans
port system in the world. Its planes
world at the equator every forty
eight hours and cover ninety thous-
and miles each week.
The passenger statistics show that
February was the banner month.
In January 2,976 people were ar
rieds February 3.476; March 1921;
and in April 2,10. Passenger miles
flown by months were: January 789,-
426; February 8f6 ,60l; March 637,-
007; and April COS. 228.
An interesting fact Is the increase
in passenger traffic over the Mexi-
can routes of Pan American Always.
Over two hundred and twenty thous-
and passenger miles were flown each
Of the four months, the total being
891,
No passengers are yet carried over
the new route opened by Colonel
Lindbergh.
Air mail statistics for the Latin
American nations show a large
monthly increase in poundage. To
meet this increase two new Lock-
heed type mail planes have been
shipped for use up the coast Of South
America by Pan American Grace
Anyways.
During the year 1929 the statistics
now compiled show that Pan Ameri-
can Always system carried $4,000
pounds Of international air mail and
flew nearly three million miles.
Passenger services have been OPEN
ed to Maracaibo and Porto Cabello
in Venezuela from the Panama canal
zone by Pan American, tying up
with the new fast seven day service

Braddock Died Courageously.

Braddock, a brave soldier, was the
victim of his infirmities of temper and
his arrogance and obStinacy. He
estranged some Of his own officers and
he had no conception of cultivating
friendly relations with the Indians. He
was indifferent to the advice of Benja-

who had warned him against exactly

This morning there were guns TO be
seen among the crowds patroling the
yards. steps and halls Of the court
house. But there was no firing, and
aside from one fist fight everything
went on smoothly.
The "ins," led by Sheriff Claude
Cooper and County Judge Renfroe
Turner, held most Of the county Offices
but the minority on the Central
Committee.
The "outs," led by County Clerk A.
3. Carter, held few of the Offices and
most Of the. committee memberships.
Judge Turner's accusation that Mr..
Carter had run away with the court
docket was met by vigorous denials
from Mr.. Carter, who charged that
the judge had created q whole new
township, with its attendant commit

he had brought from England rather
than. with the young Virginia soldier
who was SO well versed in the methods
and dangers Of warfare on the frontier.
Yet at the point of death, suffering
from fatal wound, Braddock showed
almost unexampled self-control In is
suing orders.
Some idea of the terrific slaughter
that took place on that fatal day may
be gained from the British casualty
records. OF nearly $500 officers and
and wounded and of 80 commissioned
officers, So were killed and wounded.
Opposed to this the casualties of the
French and Indians were trifiing,
History, Mr.. Moore said, credits
Washington and the Virginia riflemen
with saving all that was saved on
that day. As to this, Washington in
his letter to Dinwiddie said: Our vir.
glnianS behaved like men and died like
soldiers, for I believe out of three
companies that were there that day
scarce 80 were left alive"
Washington's Escape Remarkable.
Washington's escape was most re-
markable, since he was exposed through
out the conflict, Mr.. Moore related.
Much has been written about Wash
ingtons dignity, which was synony-
nous with his courage. but he is not
credited by biographerS with a sense
Of honor. Yet a keen sense of it
runs through this letter to his brother
on the following July Is from Cumber-
land, referring to reports of his death
in battle. "As I have heard since my
arrival at this place." the youthful war
rior wrote, "a circumstantial account
of my death and dying speech, I take
the opportunity OF contradicting the
first and assuring you that have not
composed the latter, but by the all
powerful dispensation of Providence
have been protected beyond all human
probability or expectations; for I had
four bullets through my coat and
two horses shot under me, yet escaped
unhurt, although death was leve1ing
my companions on every side of me-"
Mr.. Moore related that five years
later, when Washington and his close
friend and physician, Dr. James Craik,
visited the frontier they met an Indian
chief who had participated in the bat
tie, and told of trying to kill the young
officer who was rallying his men to
q supreme effort
THE chief said he had singled him
out and fired his rifle at him MANY
times and directed his warriors to do
the same" Mr.. Moore related, but that
to his establishment there was no re-
suit. and that he had come to pay
homage to the man who was evidently
the particular favorite of Heaven and
destined never to die in battle"
