Able Woman and Noted Z>.
A. R, Leader ^or The Office
of President General.
When the Continental Congress, D.

An undercurrent of enthusiasm for
Mrs. Van Ijandingham to be elected
president-general dating back several
years, has burst into active zeal, and
throughout North Carolina called meet
ings have been held, and are being
held, so that each and every chapter
of the state can endorse Mrs. Van
Landingham for this high office. Her
name will be presented at the state
convention, with the unanimous en
dorsement of every chapter in the
state.
The five Charlotte chapters have
themselves given their enthusiastic en

the leader of the D. A. R. hosts.
Second to none in ability, of Geo-
Elliot type of mind, of wide reading,
fine poise, dignified grace, commanding
and handsome appearance; a wise par
liamentarian and a charming diplomat,
there is no woman in the Nation who
would wear the robes of the high office
with more ability or"^;race.
.Mrs. Van Landingham served her'
stale for several terms at State Re
gent. She has been regent of Mcck-
ieabur^ Chapter, the first chapter or
ganized iu the state, and regarded as
the oracle in D. A. R. matters.
The National Society, would hcihor
itself in honoring Mrs. Van Landing

do a much larger amount oi business.
This firm employs fourteen sales
men, who cover twenty-five states.
They have a plant that will turn out
six hundred pair of men’s pants
dally and their business for the past

Aviator Whtimet
(Continued from Page One.)
Mr. Andrews is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. F. H. Andrews. He was born
and reared In Charlotte, but for a
short while has been living in Greens
boro. Mr. Whitmer thinks Mr. An
drews will make quite a success in the
aviation business.
The Machine.
The bi-plane which will tak^ Mr.
AVhitmer into Charlotte’s upper strata,
isabout the same proportions of the
McCurdy machine, but Is stronger
built in that the wings have an under
lining. McCurdy’s machine had only
a top cover.
The machine has a 60-horsepower
engine, and weighs 650 pounds.
, Mr. Whitmer and several other Cur
tiss men were busily at work yester
day examining the machine, making
sure of every wire, every part of' the
‘^bird.”
Mr. W’hitmer is on unmarried man.
His parents are living. He talking of
the risk the aeronaut takes, said; “We
never think of that. We don't anti
cipate anything going wrong. Of
course one must be very careful. I
never attempt a flight with the wind
against me. I am not that foolhardy.
With a machine in perfect order, and
good aerial canditions an airship, to a
man who knows how to manage It, Is
as safe as an auto.”
Speaking of local conditions, Mr.
Whitmer said; “This is the worst
field to soar in I have ever seen. The
ground is very rough, the fences and
the trees are close in, and the wind
seems to have a cinch on that south
west corner. That’s what got McCur
dy when he tried to fly here. If I can
get up out of here, ab^e the tree tops,
and those winds from that corner don’t
strike me I am all right. After I get
up high—out of the wind—I’m all
right also.
‘I will fl[o 2,000 feet or more, if
the weather is nice—that is if the
wind is right.” *
The hour of flight, it seems, is gov
erned by the wind. Mr. Whitmer, as
announced on The News bulletin this
morning, expected to “saif’ ^ny time
between 12 m. ^and 5 p. m. The best
time, he said. Is a little after 4 o’clock.

Charlotte Bonds
Deposited in N. Y.
City Treasurer Arthur H. Wearn and
ity Attorney Brenizer have arrived
safely in New York with the ^463,000
of city bonds which the city acquired
recently from the American Trust
Company, who bought the water bonds
and the school bonds.
Mr. Wearn and Mr. Brenizer went
at oiice to the National Bank of New
York, with which the American Trust
company does business, and turned
over their burden to the bank author^
ities.
Although Mr. Wearn is missing the
gala affair of the season here—the
county fair—he will probably be able
to stand the disappointment after he
has watched the sights along Broad*
way for a day or two. One of the city
clerfis predicts that when lie returns
he will have the correct minutes in
short hand of all the events he wit*
nessed in the metropolis and will be
able to re^d them off to any of the
city boards on demand.
