CAUCASIAN - 4 I RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5. 19 09. No. 30 VOL. XXVII, EDITORIAL BRIEFS Congress is now an August body. All the Democratic campaign Is sues are now dead except Bryan. How will the daily papers fill that extra page when the ball season la over? At least, no one has said that the new tariff bill was "an act of party perfidy and dishonor." We are Informed by certain news paper correspondents, that even Col. Henry Watterson Is no longer a "free-trader." Georgia hag placed a tax of $1,000 on "near-beer" establishments. Won der how much the tax would be if they were selling the real article? The Democratic politicians would not have been pleased with the tariff bill, even if it had been framed in accordance with the Denver plat form.

All the Dispensaries Will be Closed for a Month In the Meantime ft Vote Will be Taken on the Ques tion of Prohibition. Columbia, S. C, Aug. 1. On Tues day of this week. South Carolina will be added to the fold of State-wide prohibition territory which now em braces well night all of the South eastern States. However, the drouth In this State )s to be temporary un less the voters in the 21 wet oountieg that are to hold local option elections on Tuesday, August 17th, declare for perpetual dryness. Due to the strategy of the prohi bitionists in the South Carolina Leg islature, the drys have all to gain and nothing to lose in the approach ing contests. Literally, this State Is "half and half," 21 counties being already In the prohibition camp and exactly the same number being offi cially engaged in the sale of intoxi cants under what is known as the county dispensary system. The law enacted at the last session of the Legislature took no account of the territory already dry, providing only for elections in the wet counties to determine whether they should re main wet or join their sisters of the white ribbon camp. Further, that the folk in the dispensary counties might have a taste of prohibition be fore desposlting their ballots, the prohibitionists had it provided that all dispensaries shall close two weeks before the elections and remain clos ed until the result of the elections is known. A howl went up from the wets when Attorney General Lyon deliver ed an opinion to the effect that the result of the elections would not be "known" until officially declared by the State Board of Canvassers, which means that county grog shops will l - a a. i j.

WRIGHT MAKES RECORD FLIGHT More Than Mecca the Government Requirement la a Ten-Mile Trip and Return Government Bay Aeroplane. Washington. July 10. -Or Till Wright this evening attained the tentih of hard-earned success. In a tsn-nille-scross-oountry flight in the famous aeroplane, built by himself and hi elder brother. Wilbur Wright, and accompanied by Lieut. Benjamin D. Foulols, an Intrepid officer of the army signal corps, he not only sur passed the speed requirements of his contract with the United States Gov ernment, but accomplished the most difflcul and daring flight ever planned for a heavler-than-alr flying machine. incidentally he broke all speed rec ords over a measured course. And be established beyond dispute the practicability of an aeroplane In time of peace and in time of war. His speed was forty-three miles an hour. He made the tea-mile flight from Fort Myer and back in fourteen minutes and forty-two seconds. In cluding the more than twenty seconds required for the turn beyond the line at Shuter Hill, the southern end of the course. He attained a height In covering the valley of Four-Mile Run, of nearly 500 feet, and the average altitude of his practically level course was about 200 feet above the ground.
