Leaving Cuers-Pierrefeu at 7:55 o'clock, the giant dirigible made straight across the Medi terra neao. flying over Algeria and Tunisia to the <Miiskirts of the Sahara desert. Starting back the next day and meeting with a hurricane o\er Sardinia, the j airship whs compelled to lurn buck to j Africa. The following day the PIxraude j started across the Mediterranean northward, flying over Sicily and Cor- I fdca. Sighting Toulon, it shifted Its I course northwestward to Bordeaux, ! and then, steering a northeasterly ' course, dew over I'aria in the morning at seven o'clock. Heading southward once more, the Dixmude passed over Moullns. where It dropped n wreath on the monument 1 to the aviators killed when the dlriclble Kepjibliaue. collflnsed and crashed there some years a^o. The airship nas over Nice and Monte Carlo at 11 :30 o'clock at night. Skirting the i Mediterranean during the night. It j landed at its starting point in the J morning at dayhreak.

I, Representative Tam Bowie of Ashe j County, chief advocate of the State j raflron^i into the Lost Provinces of Northwestern North Carolina is not simply whistling- to keep up his courage when he tells the Raleigh newspaper men that all is well with his program. The wide awake Rep resell-. ta*i?v from Ashe won more than a' half of his battle before the legislature and the Deople when he got' through his bill appropriating $10,000;0b0 for th< project, provided a I surveying commission makes a favorable report and the Interstate Com nterce Commission finds no objection. The rest of North Carolina was long ago convinced that Ashe nd its neighbor counties should not be virtually Tennessee territory; and if a I railroad is necessary in addition to the highways now being constructed into these mountain districts, then j th?- m imic hpp rpfldv in nav t hi- 1?? I The scheme has aroused still greater interest since the transportation commission has collected evidence showing necessity of better railway facilities for the development of the gnat ports on the Carolina seaboard. Thr railroad into the northwestern counties would not of itself provide the desired oast and west rail connection. l?ut * might well he made a pai*t ?f such a system running from th*. sea into the coal fields of Tennessee and v'irginia. Mr Bowie is rijrht. The people art behn.d his proposition if the experts say it is feasible. The people -ee ir. it another probable opportunity to I**-' e new North Carolina fields for commerce, for diversified indm J trie- that would become the bases I f<?! a richer soeia! and intetlei t j... lift in the Lost Provinces and else! where through Tnrheelia. ladTWAYFA FROM NFRVfl Blloxf, Miss.?"I had, for a year or mere, nervous indigestion, or some form [ Of stomach trouble," says Mrs. Alonzo 1 Ford, 1117 Clay Street, this dy.
