r - r 11 EMBOLP VOL. V. ASHEBORO, N. C. THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909. NO. 3. BULLETDT. THE FLYING MACHINE. Looks like A Bird And Flies Like One. By H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Observer. I have joined "The Bugs." The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, of Dayton, O., have converted me. Take it from me that they can fly and fly well, without the aid of a balloon at tachment to their machine. I have seen Orville fly round and round a dozen times with the ease and grace of a bird. I wish that every man, woman and . child in North and South Caroli na could see him perform. When I say the Wrights air ship flies like a bird I am not far from the truth. The principle, is about the same. Since the days of Washington balloons have been sailing about this country but not until the Waights came with their aeroplane did any one rise and fly as do the fowls of the air. It is recorded here that the Father of His Country wit nessed a balloon ascension on his farm at Mt. Vernon. The airship now cooped at Ft. Meyer, just out of Washington, looks something like a large white crane, such as frequent the swampy places along the streams of the piedmont region of the Carolinas during wet sea sons, or a big beetle, or fly, call ed by Southern youngsters, snake-waiter. It is long and lithe and thin in its parts. I im agine ifl Col. A. L. Smith, of Charlotte, or Senator Bristow, of Kansas were to come forth clad in nothung but pajamas and sail the fingfer tips feet drawn close together at the heels and toes, and legs extended straight be hind, and face adorned with a pair of heavy, zinc-colored eye glasses, he would resemble very much an aeroplane in action. The Wrights are here to con vince the government that they can fly. The tests are being made at Fort Meyer, where Un cle Sam's army and navy officers can watch them. Every after noon, at half-past five, the fields about Arlington, and Fort Meyer, are alive with people to see the aviators aviate. I had no idea the masses would take so much interest in the flights as they do. The first afternoon the crowd was so great that the electric railways could not take care of it. The scramble for points of vantage was so des perate that a weakling was in danger of being trampled upon. All kinds of citizens went out. The United States Senate ad journed for tha occasion. That day, however, one and all were disappointed; there was no flight. The machine had not been put in perfect condition and the wind was wrong. That night, after returning to their several homes, removed great quanities of Virginia dust from their persons, had dinner, and lighted their cigars, the bugs began to croak. "It's a fake," said a big Ken tucky bug. "I do not believe he can fly." "The whole affair was poorly managed," declared a wilted bug. "I am from Missouri: They must show me." "If the Wrights fly," said a red-headed bug from Colorado, 4 'I will set the crowd up " "Don't knock so hard and so readily " said a Tennessee bug. "We must give them a fair trial. Of course I do not think that I would vote for any appropriation just this minute, not for several days, at least, until the skin the hot sunburned away from my nose grows back, but I am will ing to wait." well, it they get me out there any more they will have to laul me in a refrigerator car said an Arkansas bug. These were big bugs, congress ional beetles, who had gone out to get courage to base a vote on. All were pessimistic. Harvey Helm, of the Blue Grass State, had lost all hope of ever seeing anybody fly this side of the river Jordan. But, his friend, George Rauch, of Indiana, was optimis tic. He saw no reason for com plaint. "Unfortunately," said he, "we all got hot and dirty this afternoon, and mad. We will feel better in the morning." "That is the bright side of the picture," said Edward Taylor, of Colorado. "I shall wait until the thing flies before I go again," said Judge DeArmond. "I think I can see the performance from my room window." The entire city was disappoint ed that the Wrights did not fly the first day. Hundreds of per sons who could not go nearer sat on house tops in the city and waited patiently. Four, five, six and seven o'clock passed, and and there was no sign of the air ship. Many a face had been blistered in the boiling sun. The second day of the trials was very litt?e better but the crowd was not so great. The ship sailed off that afternoon but soon fell and broke a runner. But the very fact that a flight although it was. very short had been made, revived the enthusi asm of the multitude. The next day when the hour for the tests arrive?, all of the bugs were therean (1 to "the surprise and delight of every one Orville rose and sailed about like a winged creature. Many times he flew in front of the reviewing stands. The interest was so great and the feeling so intense that the dum-stricken crowd made no sign of its appreciation until it was all over. That evening, after dinner, the bugs of the House office building, met on the grass in front of the hotels on New Jer sey avenue, between vB and C streets, Southeast and discussed airships. "She can fly, all right," said Col. Adam Byrd, of Mississippi. "I wish I had one so I could sail over my State and scare the nig gers. I bet they would think judgement day had come." "I wouldn't be surprised to see you going home in one before many years," said Bob Wickliffe, of Louisiana. "You ought to have a two- seated one, so that you and Zeke Candler can go together," sug gested Helm. "Would you ride in that one we saw to-day?" asked John Langley of Helm. "If the Wrights said it was all right for me to do so. I would." The bugs were in fine form. They had seen something that very few of them ever dreamed of seeing. The attendance on Friday was not large but several thousand people looked on from various places. The first flight was the best of all but the second came to a sudden conclusion by a mis hap to the engine and the ship dropped to the ground 75 feet be low, breaking the skids and tear ing the canvas on a tree. But, withal, the Wrights have convinced Washington that they can fly. sThey have conquered the air. The aeroplane used here weighs about 1,000 pounds, and is oper ated by a gasoline enerine. In order to start it from the ground it is run on a monorail, for fiftya decade will bring. ' 4 ' $50,000 BONDS For good roads in Aslieboro Township. At the next meeting of the coun ty commissioners a petition signed by a majority of the voters and taxpayers of Asheboro township will be presented requesting an election to be held for the pur pose of voting on the proposition of issuing bonds to the amount of $50,000, for building macadam roads in Asheboro township. The promoters of the enter prise had expected to have pre sented the petition at last Mon day's meeting, but was delayed in getting it ready. It is be lieved the commissioners will order the election and that it will carry in favor of bonds. ASHEBORO TOWNSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

As it rises one thinks of the big wild turkey gobbler that runs, flopping his wings to get a start. From what I have seen within the last few days I firmly believe that before this time, 1919, I will have made a trip to Charlotte from Washington in an airship. The Wrights have convinced those who have seen them per form that flying is not so danger ous as it seems. I would accom pany Orville on a flight if he said it would be all right. But I prefer to wait a while until the machine is perfected. Twenty years ago the safety bicycle, fol lowing the eld fellow with a big wheel and a little one, was a great curiosity.

FARMERS INSTITUTE At Ashefioro July 24, 1909 The Farmer's Institute Pre viously announced in the Bulle tin will be held in the court house in Asheboro July 24. Everj faomer in the county should at tend. These Institutes are grow ing in interest and popularity because they are helpful to tht farmer who is seeking to im prove his condition. Let thost who have never attended & Farmer's Institute come out and hear what experienced men havt to say. Josephus Not Consistent. But since we come to think about it Mr. Simmons and the other Democrats who broke oui some of the rotten planks in the Democratic platform, didn't do half as bad as the penitentiary management did when they rap- resented to the whole State that they had such a large surplus oi hand, and when it come to a show down, they didn't have a dollar of surplus money and had to go to the Legislature and beg them td give them back all they had turned in. This was a dirty piece of deception, but Josephus didn't condemn the manage ment of the penitentiary for deceiving the people of the Stata, but if a few Democrats happen to be patriotic enough to put the interest of the people above . a rotten Democratic platform Jose phus is ready to pounce right down on them. Bryan, Josephus Daniels, Claud Kitcbin and Boby Glenn will have a lonesome road to travel. The people will stick to those who stick to them. See if they don't? Clinton News- Dispatch. PROHIBITS PROFANITY. The Wisconsin Legislature be fore it finally adjourned for the season passed one most excellent law a bill to prohibit profanitv in public places. The new law provides that any person who shall use in the hear ing of other persons in any pub lic place lewd, lascivious, obscene or profane language shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $25 or by im prisonment in the county jail not to exceed thirty days or by both such fine and imprisonment. It is a good law, and it is hoped it can be enforced. It protects the .respectable citizen and espe cially the finer sensibilities of women from an outrage and an insult which is not sufficiently guarded against. It is not the wickedness of it that excites so much indignation, although that is a strong factor, but it is the low down coarseness, the loafer ism of the act. The contents of the vessel are known from what comes out of it. If those who use profane and obscene language could know how they rale themselves in the minds of those who hear them they would feel like slinking in to a hole and getting out of sight. Being callous or uncor s cious of this condemnation it ought to be made visible to them by fines and i penalties imposed by a eourt.. The violaticn of the laws of decency are more to be condemned than violations of statute law. Ex. Beer drinkers, and others who suffer with Bright's Disease, Diabetis Back Ache or any Kid nek or Bladder Trouble can be cured If they will take Bloodine piood and Kidney Tablets, 50c a FOR Biliousness Constipation Headache Indigestion Dyspopsia Flatulency r.iaiana Chills & Fever Jaundleo Sleeplessness Nervousness Loss off Appetite and "all disorders aris ing from Torpid Liver. TAKE IT NOW. THE GENUINE has the BED Z on the front of each package and the signature and seal of J. H. XEXH3& St CO. on the side, In BED. MONROE OVERRUN BY DOGS. Monroe is tco nice a town to be turned over to the dogs. Dogs, dogs, of every class and kind, but mostly curs of low degree. Lying on the sidewalks for ladies to pass around, stopping the en trances to buildings and even the church doors, carrying bones and filth from place to place, scratching holes in graves at the cemetery, chasing cats about folks' houses and baying loudly at every shadow on moonlight nights, rousing sleeping people. threatening the lives of children on the streets. Monroe, north Monroe, east Monroe, south Mon roe, west Monroe, all surrender ed to the dogs. One man who knows the town well thinks there are five hundred dogs here, all of them at times more or less on the streets. Many families own from two to ten. Some of them trained chicken catchers and don't respect the property rights of "chicken owners. The hot season is on us and time for mad dog scares at hand. We've got the dogs alright. There was once a special tax on dogs, but the dogs were too sacred to be bothered and like the United States tax on incomes the law passed out of itself and no tax was collected. The pres ent tax collector, Mr. T. L. Cro- well, says that if the alderman will levy a special tax this year it will be collected. Monroe Journal. Now when it comes to dogs, Asheboro can boast of a large and varied population. We have the high-bred dogs and the low bred dogs, bird dogs, pointers, setters, beadle hounds, fox hounds and just hounds, purs, spaniels, mongrels, curs, bull dogs, rat terriers, eggsuckers, 3heepkillers, lean dogs, fat dogs, chicken-killers and other breeds too tedious to mention and if the whole lot were put into a cannon and shot over into Deep river, the town would be rid of a great nuisance. . Tortured On A Horse. "For ten years I couldn't ride a horse without being in torture from piles," writes L. S. Napier, ofRugless, Kentuckey, "when all doctors and other remedies failed, Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me." Infallible for piles, Burns,. Scalds, Cuts, Boils, Feve?
