Neivton's Inability
TO attend Today
Regretted

Manteo, July q. One Of the
deepest regrets of the officials OF
the Kill Devil Memorial associa-
ton in regard to the celebration
of Aviation Day here today is the
inability Of Byron r. Newton,
sender Of one Of the first reports
cf the Wright Brothers first
flight for publication, to be pres
ent.
He was, at the time Of the first
successful attempt Of man to fly,
reporting for the New York Her
aid.
With the aid of A. w. Drink
water, who was at that time IN
charge of the Government Wealth
er station. he got a message OF the
flight off TO the paper for which
he was working that caused his
discharge. The Herald charged
him with being drunk at even
thinking of such thing, and OF
taking the dispatch.
Mr.. Newton is unable to be here
due to old age. along with a recent
illness. Had it not been for the
recent illness, he would have been
here in spite Of his age. he said. A
,clCgram to Mr.. Dr!nkWatcr Mon
lay afternoon was the source OF
his .nc@Yma ion Newton h2o
Wi ten Dl.nkWa;er before on this
ma ter. stating that he dldn
know vile hex lie would be able
0 geU here or no;. He was @, that
tine N pr,t Y bad health; how
ever. he stated that he would be
here if possible: that he not on:y
wanted TO be here for the offlcia
program. but for his friendship
with Drinkwater acquired thru
DyinkWa.Cr'S aid to him in getting
off his message, trying to convince
doubling world that the flight
Of man was possible; in fact, that
II was a fact.
In his wire to DrinkWater, New
ton enclosed q paragraph OF 4
story Of his written in May, 1908,
rcferrirg to the flight Of the
WRIGHT brCthCrS in 1903.
A copy Of this paragraph is as
follows:
Weather worn and decaying
thc old gliding machine used five
years ago by the WriGhts is grad
ually disappearing under Tie
drifting sands of Kitty Hawk flll.
It lies near their abandoned aero
drOme. built for their frs. eX-
pertinent there. so far removed
from human paths that vandalS
and relic hunters have never dis
tulbed it. Some day when the
world has had time to understand
the great achievements OF these
modest men, scientists and hiStor-
ians will dig up the fragments OF
this old gliding machine and erect
there a great memorial to the
memory and enduring glory OF
these bicycle builders of Dayton"
He further stated in his wire, i
am thankful 1 have lived to see
this prophecy fulfilled"
