The Norfolk Virginian (as quoted by oi at the time) recently said: - "Repeal the restrictive laws nnder which oar iblpplng Interest has de clined to sero and there will be no occasion (or subsidizing a few favored lines or of depending on foreign bot toms to transport our foreign trade." Whereupon the Newport-News News- Herald Inquired:. "', - t ;. "Is our contemporary In favor of op ening up our coastwise trade also to foreign snips?" , The Virginian made this telling re ply: '- "--"-.v,i'-.;--'.y'. "No, but we do favor opening op for eign trade to American-owned and .American-registered ships by so am ending our restrictive navigation laws as to permit American capital to In vest in tonnage wherever It can be bought the cheapest and to operate it under the American flag in the over aeas trade. If that was done, hundreds of thousands of tons of deepsea ship . ping, now owned by Americans, but forced to operate under foreign regis try because of existing restrictions would be transferred to the Am erican flag. This 1 of itself would give us aa American merchant would be transferred to the American flag. This of Itself would give as an American merchant marine of no mean proportions, without the cost of one red cent to the Federal treasury and without loss to any legitimate American Interest. ; The ignorance of some Democratic paper on this subject la surprising. i ne principle of protection has no more injurious expression than la our foolish navigation laws. After destroy ing our merchant marine on the high seas, in order to protect American ship builders engaged In building ships for coastwise traffic, the proposition to bestow s bounty or "subsidy" upon the latter In order to restore the lost equilibrium, is the same as it would be If we should bestow a bounty on our manufacturers of cotton or wool- ' en goods in order to enable them to capture the neutral markets which they have relinquished the chance of commanding in order to control the home market (See the House that Jack Built) There has been noth'ng so foolish and so harmful aa our navigation laws since the 18th century laws of Eng land, which placed an export tax on shipments of British mill machinery. A HAPPY NEWSPAPER. "We have watched with interest the career of the modest daily paper which Editor Ayer has been conduct ing for some past year at Florence 8. C, and we rejoice to see that he has had only to make a bint of enlarging his paper to get the encouragement he needed. .. His yesterday's issue contains the following Jubilant Bote:: . j: The many kind expressions of con gratulation and encouragement that the Times has received since the pub lication, s few days ago of oar little confidences as to what we hoped to be able to do with the paper in the near future, has shown as bow close the paper and the people stand to each other, which is very gratifying. The Times has been under Its present man agement, with n short intermission, nearly twenty years, and la all that time It has been n friend of Florence and all of Florence's friends. It has never Indulged in personal spites, has always given even more to those who were not its friends than to. its friends has never been a money making Insti tution, since the daily was started, but Its proprietor has worked half lire time to build up a business that ' might in time bring satisfaction and gratification to himself and to the public. Some people recognize the pa per as a public convenience, ready and ' anxious to be used, asking only the respect or tnose using it, and that they should remember that public conven iences were entitled to what business In Its line the public had to give, and with these we have gotten on famous ly. Others have had different views but all have met the same generous urauiKui vq ue pan oi ine rower. the support and encouragement Is giv en us we will give any and everything me public could reasonably ask of us. We have hopes of better things, but they must rest on a continuance of your support and patronage. Ton might have editors whom yon would like better personally, papers that yon wouia ratner read, but yon could nev er get one that tried harder to do an that duty required, and even a little more. - -,- . ;. SOIL SURVEY OF ROBESON.; We are indebted to Congressman Godwin for an exceedingly interest ing copy of the government pamph let entitled "'Soil Survey of Robeson County". The phamplet is well epito mized by the Robesonlan, as follows: Soil Survey of Robeson. we have received from Mr. W. Ed ward Ileum, of the United 8tates De railment of Agriculture, who is now junking a soil survey of Gaston coun ty, a copy of the soil survey made last i rumor by Mr. Hearn, assisted by isrs. G. M.

It has an area of 1.058 square miles, or 677,120 acres. The general surface features consist of level, un dulating, gently rolling and rolling areas, intersected by strips of swamp following the streams and dotted by many slight depressions and bays, The general slope of the country Is to the south and south-west, and the differ ence in elevation of the two ends of the county is considerable. Robeson was formed in 1786 from Bladen county and named in honor of Colonel Robeson, who distinguished himself in the battle of Elixabethtown. The majority of the first white settlers were Scotch, and they located princi pally in the northern and western parts of the county. There were also some of fungiish descent The Croatana came from eastern North Carolina about 250 years ago and settled along Lumber nver. mey number xioo to 4.000, Probably not more than 30 ner cent of the land in the county la nnder cul tivation. The largest per cent under cultivation lies around Rowland, Mc Donald. Red Springs and Max ton. if all the swamps and depressions were drained there would be but little, If any waste land, and If all the arable land were properly cultivated Robeson could easily support several times ha present population, which is about 45.- 000. Good roads can be maintained in all parts of the county by a ludl- clous mixing of the sand and clay ma terials at nasd, and by keeping the roaaoea weu rounded, so that the rain water will readily run oft An Interesting table la given show ing tne normal monthly seasonal, and annual temperatures and precipitation t Lumnerton. Eleven distinct trues tt soO were mapped in the county, and these are described in detail. Swamps are treated and the statement made is that "generally speaking, a large pan or tne swamp soil, it properly drained, cleared, and devoted to the trope to which it is adapted, would prove valuable farming land." And under the head of "Drainage" we find the following among other things of interest. rnere is no one 'thing that would benefit the fanners and land owners of Robeson county as much as complete drainage of the soils and particularly the swamn areas. Some of the most fertile soils in the county which am adapted to corn, oats, rice. cabbage, onions, celery and other crops remain uncultivated on account of insufficient drainage. When the swamps are drained the upland areas will also be better drained. By bet ter drainage large areas of good land can be reclaimed and the healthf ill ness of the region improved." we understand that the book Is for free distribution and may be obtained by writing to Congressman H.

" - Travel by Dirigible. The baloon has an entinuluUr champion in Mr. A. Leo 8tevena, whoe conclusions are drawn from very wide experience.

' - The Future of the Aeroolana. The small freight carrvina- iHt of the aeroplane will forbid its ex ploitation as a means of transporta- "uu; ana lis enure dependence tinon favorable weather conditions will ren der It, at least for the present lncap- auiu ra iuiiDiung a contract for the conveyance either of malls or express matter or of living up to the exacting tlu oi regular passenger service. Aumitung, men, that the aeroplane will be practically restricted to the Held of sport It becomes nomtlhla tn forecast its probable lines of devel opment. Wilbur Wright considers hat his own motor is now ennui in reliability to the average automobile motor; he has made 280 successive flights without a motor mlshaD and claims to have run one of his engines a snop test for seren consecutive hours. He believes that the tlcable advance will be made In the direction of "high' flying." The ann uity or finding a landing place, In case of the motor stopping, will be largely obviated by flying hleh. even at the altitude of several thousand feet. Thus, at one mile elevation, in In case of the stoppaft of the motor, the operator would oe in a position to glide for seven miles, on a slope of one In seven, before reaching the ground. Since this glide can be made in any direction, a choice of a landing place can be made out of the total area of 150 square miles included in s circle of 14 miles la diameter. High flying, moreover, will take the machine out of the belt of aerial billows and eddies caused by the passage of the wind over the irregularities of the earth a surface. It cannot be denied that the most serious defect In the aeroplane la its inability to leave and return to the ground without considerable risk, ex cept in a comparatively quiet atmos phere; and until this limitation been removed it must be regarded as still la the experimental stage, even for the purpose of sport It the aero plaae In to take Its place with the saiung yacnt ana tne automobile .4 must be rendered so far independent of atmospheric conditions that the owner can.

No sport can be come popular In which three-fourths of a day are spent in watching for a summer Drees to die down so that a trip may be taken in the remaining lourtn. a passible solution may be found In the use of lifting screw-propellers, which will raise the machine vertically, clear of the around, and be thrown out of gear aa soon as suffi cient forward velocity has been attain ed, -me same propellers would allow of a gentle vertical descent In alight- in,.- The Racing Aeroplane. The sporting aeroplanes of the fu ture will be divided into two classes, slow cruisers of moderate horse-power and large supporting surface and hlgh- speea racers of small surface and large horse-power. It was, mentioned earlier In this discussion that the area of the surface necessary for flight vanes inversely aa the square of the ipeea. ruature aaa recognised this law a tne evolution of the bird the slow- ying birds having wings of consider able width in proportion to their length iad the fast-flying birds, such as the .wilt and the albatross, possessing ong. narrow, bladeiike winrs. The racing aeroplane, therefore, will have great length of entering edge, but the pianes win no narrow. Possibly .they 'ill be arranged to reduce their sur- ace by reeling as the speed increases. it was shown above that If the Wright Giacnme at its present weight could ie driven 100 miles per hour the area Jl its planes might be reduced from M to 80 square feet The weight of e superfluous 420 square feet, with framing, could be nut Into n more powerful motor. The raclnr machine iu oe very light, long of plane, and can in construction. The Wright mine or v norse-power weighs 800 ounds and ordinarily can be driven tout 40 miles aa hour. The Curtis nucntne of 60 horse-power weighs 83 ounus ana nns made a speed of 4S .Ues aa hour, and ' Santos-Dumont .aims to have lately reached "a speed : a miles an nour with a little 30 rie-power monoplane weighing only out 250 pounds. Undoubtedly the h-a-minute mark will be reached a considerably exceeded, though not luicxiy as tne public believes.

Yet aoa-rlgid and semi-rigid ?hips. such as the Republic, Parseval, jb bross, are operating with . 200 aorse-power solely because of the slut ana sirengtn or their hulls. Recent achievements have been en. tirely due to the develonment of lt hull along the lines of Inertia and mo mentum of great masses. Thongh ighter than air, the Zeppelin Is so massive that It has the inertia of a wooden log whenever the ship heaves to ln.the wind. Iu propellers slip for five minutes before they start the huge bulk; but once under way the momen tum of its long heavy body overcomes any insistence from the air. , Tne Wrights have used the same principle In their flying machine. Voyages by the Zeppelin have shown that the very largest hull will safely carry the hea viest loads, at high speed, over the greatest distances, luis is so clear that the designers of ail other types of dirigibles are steadily Increasing toe sixe of the hull, and with it the power ui me engines. . : The Dirigible In War. " Airships designed for offensive mili tary operations will be designed larger than those built for commercial pur poses, because they must navigate at greater attitudes to be beyond the point-Diank range of artillery Ore. The reason for enlarging them is that they must have more space in which the gas can expand when they rise into the lower air-pressure of the higher regions. An airship intended to make an attack win fight from 1650 yards for Its own protection, but It . must watcn tne Ductation of Its cas-snnnir. It is perfectly feasible to do this by In- uauug ine cnamoers to onlv a frartfon cf their capacity . before ascending; mis provides for the expansion of the gas to Its highest lifting capacity st me very lime it is in tne midst of an engagement The ship Is so large that, with the assistance of the hori zontal rudders. It can lift Its full com plement without lostna- stability or speed. Its attack will always be mo id snd of short duration becanao of tlut effective execution It may be expect ed to wield with the guns that have been developed by the Kruno for th use oi sirsnips. Wilbur Wright's Sensations. "Flying is the greatest snort in the world," was Mr. Wilbur Wright's com ment, ine question as to his Dersonal eipeiience aroused him from his ha bitual reserve. "I can't describe the sensation," he continued; "I can only define tt by comparison with more fa miliar experiences. It is like mlfA. ning, ime motoring, like sailing, but witn increased exhi ration and fr. com. . .. . An aeroplane flla-hL. contrary to me general impression, is far steadier than the familiar means of locomotion There Is absolute freedom from the bouncing of the automobile, the iar of a ranroaa train, or the rolllnr and nit. ching sensations of the sea. No matte now many springs or cushions mar h aaaea to sn automobile, for Instance, there will always be some motion. On the other hand the seat of an aero plane Is always steady. The aero plane does not Jolt over the Invisible wind currents, the ruts of the sVv. it cuts Its way smoothly. Even suppose the plane to be gliding so flndlcatin an angle of forty-five degrees, the seat remains Axed. There is, of course, no absolute parallel in surface travel. And since there is no roll or pitch to the aeroplane, their Is no ftlrslckBeai comparable to the familiar sea-sickness." AH aviators seem unconscious of any element of danger. Even among the passengers no one has confessed even to nervousness during the Rights. Once aloft the exhilaration of the ex ercise banishes every fear. Mr. Wit bur Wright has flown with many pass engers both here and abroad. "After the first flight one has no thought of possible accident," Mr. Wright explained.
