In this country, some time ago, Curtiss flew fiom Albany to New York and later Hamilton essayed the trip f otn X'ew York to Philadelphia and i'’!urn, landing finally in a marsh. Sinre then no long flights have been ;Ht»*;npted. A few exhii)ifions in the •ir for the purix)»«» of attracting •rowdF to county fairs has been th% xf*>nt of .aviation feats. In France, men lly a htindred miles ?very day, and the trip is so common- ' lace that the newspapers do not ■'hronicle the event. Even a journey roni Paris to Ix)ndon hardly excites ittention. It is strange that the avia- ors in this country are so indifferent » the possibilities of their art. They ’♦>em to have resigned entirely in fa- or of their brothers across the seas.” The fight against the festive house fly is becoming universal in it« scope. The editors have all taken up th«ir editorial cudgels against this germ- disseminationing malefactor. Editor Weathers, of the Cleveland Star, is one of the latest recruits; Flies have perhaps never been so numerous as they are this season. Be cause of these germ-carrying pests, Ihrre is more sickness right at this* "(eason than there has been in some lime. ‘Swat the fly’ is a good slogan. Yrr,, kill them all and have less sick ness and few^er deaths.” It will be recalled that just when the 6j)ort was in full flower, when a num- l)er of notable distance and altitude exhibitions were being heralded in va rious parts of' this country, the stark monster entered the scene and claim ed the majority of the best known aviators. ^Imost every big effort cost one or two lives, and it is just possi ble, that since aviators are simple hu man beings, the idea gained converts that the best way to live to a ripe old age was to stay on the ground. We have no earthly use for the ca lamity howler. The Shelby Aurora makes the following prediction of Oon- tinned drought: "The weather man is waiting for the Charlotte baseball team to win a came—then It will rain.” Mr. Rryan is said to have experienc ed that old time and comfortable feel ing on loii^g in his i«cent fight BLIND PEOPLE E IN n POINT Special to The Xews. High Point, June 2.—The grand con cert given by the members of the Blind Association last night was of a very high class order. The numbers were dlfllcult and were faultlessly ren dered.

Many of the numbers were encored a’;;d the additional numbers were of the same high order—exhibiting tlie ?.T.me rare talent. The address by Mr. .John Roy, su- i)erintendent of the State Institute for the Blind, at Raleigh, was enjoyable and instructive. The business portion of the conven tion opened yesterday morning with Mr. Morrow Fisher of Raleigh, the president, presiding. Mayor Tate gave the address of welcome and Mr. Cost ner of Raleigh, responded. Judge Eure, of Greensboro, deliver ed an entertaining one and closed by reviewing the advanced lines upon which they were moving with their educational and industrial work. A committee w^as appointed to raise fimds to provide a home for blind wo men. A resolution was presented asking the legislature to require all piano- tuners to j)ass an examination and have license. At the election of officers, Mr. Henry Easley, of High Point, was elected president and Mrs. W. T. Reaves, of Raleigh, vice-president. Rev. Dr. ^V. C. Tyree and Mrs. Tyree will arrive tonight and be at home at the El wood. Dr. Tyree has recently accepted a call as pastor of High Point’s First Baptist church. June 24th Miss Lucy Eshelmon, sec retary board of civil service examin ers, will hold examination for clerks and carriers at the post office. Mr. Chaney, father of Mr. E. F. Chaney, one of the town’s well-known Insurance agents, died suddenly last night at the home of his son, on Ray street. Mr. Chaney seemed in his usual health and had been on the street in the afternoon, but soon after returning home was seized with a pain in his chest and died almost immedi ately. The deceased was 66 years old. The burial will take place at Thomas- vllle. Mr. D, W. Wyatt, superintendent of the new post office building, while as sisting in the removal of a derrick had the misfortune to get a rib broken and one of his hips badly bruised. While not dangerously hurt he has suffered intensely and receives the sympathy ot the friends he has made during liis temporary sojourn in High Point. Absolutely tare Th» omfy bmfditg pamhr nMMfo mMw iloM# Ompo Ofomm of Tmrtar NOALOmnUMEPHOSPHffTE Women Baned From Vets Parades By Associated Press. Nashville, Tenn., June 3.—As the result of several grirls appearing in the recent Confederate veteran parade at the Little Rock re-union, Frank Cheatham Bivouac of Confederate vet erans last night adopted the following: “Resolved, That no woman shall ap pear in the parades of the camps, the state divisions or the general associa tion astraddle, or should any so appear the officers in charge of said p%j:ade shall politely request that they re tire.” The same resolution requested gen erals not to appoint young women as staff officers. Years come with wisdom, but unfor tunately wisdom doesn’t always come with years. Many a man doesn’t climb upward because he would rather be on the level. After the Loan Sharks. The business men who are taking steps to abate the loan shark infamy in Houston are engaged in a work that is not only praiseworthy from a phil anthropic point of view, but they are conserving their own material inter ests as well. Few cities in the south have been more outra|;eously cursed with this sinister evil than Houston. One of the leaders in the movement asserts he discovered that not less than $1,000 a day goes to the account of extortionate interests and that large sums taken from the earnings of the working men of this city means un told misery to hundreds of families. The practical way to fight the loan sharks is to put cheap money within the reach of needy laboring men at reasonable rates of interest to be paid in small installments. And that is the sensible method which the busi ness men who have the matter under consideration are going to adopt. For the benefit of the gentlemen engaged in this praisew'orthy undertaking^, we will say that Xorfolk, which with Portsmouth, is about as large a city as Houston, has solved the problem through the establishment of a loan bank, incorporated under the laws of Virginia. The institution has been in operation long enough to demonstrate its complete success, both as a de stroyer of the loan shark and as a busi ness institution. We noticed sometime ago an address by one of its ofliicers w^ho declared the bank had earned a fine dividend on the capital and that not one loan had been lost. By adopting the system of rea sonable interest and small install ments for the repayment of loans the laboring men had been emancipated from the tyranny of the former oppres sors and that even in the absence of security the loans were promptly paid. If we are not mistaken, this bank has broadened its scope so as to in clude savings accounts, thus relieving labor’s necessities with labor’s money and paying to the depositor 4 per cent interest per annum upon his deposits. Xot long ago, business men of Atlanta inaugurated a loan bank with $50,000 capital and it wall soon be in operation. It is organized, or will be, upon the Xorfolk plan. It will mean much to the laboring men of Houston to be able to obtain money at 10 per cent per annum in stead of from 10 to 25 j>er cent per month. It will mean greater indepen dence and greater purchasing powder for them, mojre comfort, more self-re spect and better citizenship. It will mean much for the business men in the way of more trade and fewer bad bills, and for the city at large it vill mean greater thrift and productive capacity. There are many ways in which $50,- 000 might be used for the benefit of Houston, but invested in a loan bank that will put the loan sharks out of business it will accomplish more good than in any other possible way. Not only that, properly organized and con ducted it will earn 10 per c^t upon the capital invested, and certainly no stockholder could complain of that.— Houston Post. Charlotte Man in the Front. Special to The News. ristol, Tenn., June 3.—President Leake, of the Bristol Athletic Associa tion, today appointed W. H. Johnson, of Charlotte as manager of the local baseball team to succeed Crockett. Under the management of Crockett the team had been losing pretty stead ily with the result that Johnson was put in. This was announced last night. An opportunity seldom comes back for a second trial.
