Henri Farman Springs a Big Surprise at Rheims Frenchman Wins the $10,000 Prize. Second Honey Goes to Latham. Wright Machine Captures Fifth Money. Rheims, Aug. 27. -Farman . did not alight after he had beaten the dis tance record of Latham, but kept aloft until he had covered 119' miles, which he negotiated in . 3: 04: 56 3-5. .This gives him the record for both distance and duration of flight, Rheims, Aug. 28. Henri Farman sprang the biggest surprise of avia tion week today by flying 100 miles in two hours and 33 minutes, thereby beating the distance record made yes terday by Hubert Latham and winning the Grand Prix de la Champagne, first money, which amounted to $10,000. Farman , flew in a Farman cellular biplane, similar to the machine in which he attempted several flights at Brighton Beach, New York, some time ago. Second money will go to Latham, with a flight of ninety-seven miles made yesterday. Paulham is third, 83.3; Compte de Lambert fourth, 71; and Paul Tissandier, another Wright pupil, who flew in Wright machine, fifth, thirty-two miles. ; There were to have been' six prizes, but no machine qualified for sixth place. ' The flight by Farnham ended the contests for the Grand; Prix de la Champagne His victory was wholly unexpected, as he had taken but little part in the flights of the week and was not considered a seriou3 contend er. Farman's average speed was not as great as' Latham's, but his ma chine behaved splendidly and he was enabled to "keep going" until he bad surpassed all distance records and come close to Paulham's lecord for time aloft.

'- As announced in advance d' sitting of the present term of Wayne -rfcyrrp Superior Court, which is being pre sided over by Judge W. R.' Allen, res ident judge of this district, this is the first time Judge Allen has held court in this his home county since he was elevated to the Superior Court bench, which he so signally adorns. At the dinner hour Monday, at his home, Judge Allen received, by special messenger, a neatly arranged pack age which on opening he found to con tain a large ivory handled handsome silver loving cup, bearing the follow ing artistically engraved inscription : To William Reynolds Allen Judge of the Sixth Judicial District of North Carolina. In commemoration of his first Court In Wayne County, August 23, 1909. Accompanying the cup was a card asking its acceptance in appreciation of his distinguished abilty and the lustre he is shedding upon his home town in the fairness with which he dispenses justice and the broad and commendable humanity he exercises in dealing with unfortunates, even though they be criminals. Every citizen of Goldsboro will take especial pleasure in this souvenir that has come to Judge Allen from his home people, for every citizen of this town appreciates him at his splendid worth. And it came, too, without ostentation or acclaim, as love comes : he simyiy found' it in his hand, so to speak, a loving cup, in scribed as above.

HUMAJN BIRDS FINED 1 FOR SPEEDING I The Roadways are Wide Up There, It Is True.' But There Have AlreadT Been Instances of Collisions."' One of the most amusing incidents of the flying machine races at Rheims was the fact that one of the aviators was fined for speeding. This opens up a new field for per plexity and trouble, at the same time that it indicates the rapidity with 4,s ' which our civilization is moving. The aviator in question made an as cent, cut a figure eight and did a few other stunts, in the course of which he broke several records as well as the rules of the game. He was promptly fined twenty francs and then, in true French style, congratulated upon having incurred the penalty. His friends rallied around him in great numbers and shook his hand un til if tino-lfll The automobile speedist has been in the limelight for a long time, and the police force has had its hands full in trying to keep the mere des perate of these drivers within the limit- 4 But what are the guardians to do it they have got to watch earth and sky at - the same time, to keep down the speed fiends? The aviators in France looked like a flock of pigeons and in the near fu- ture we may expect to see "the- air dark with pinions." The sky, must therefore be proper ly policed. The more leisurely ;pas sengers, out for an afternoon fly, are liable to be greatly inconvenienced by the speeding aerodromes. The roadways are wide up there, it is true, treasurer, ior some m tne new se but there have already been instances' res wnich be-ins ne-t Saturday, of collisions, and on the whole public September 4th. sentiment is crystalizing in favor of a speed limit for these human birds. GEN. HOKE NEXT TDIE. Charlotte News. One of the best things which the veterans did while in this city was to pass a resolution introduced - by Maj. S. H. Smith, of Winston-Salem, providing for the appointment of. a committee to wait on General Hoke, at Raleigh, and get him to attend the next reunion. A-committee of seven was appointed but it has not yet been announced. - , General Hoke is one- of the ablest generals: in the Confederate army.,His strategy was masterly and as a lead - er of men in battle he was unsurpass ed. He is a most; modest man, and seems to care little for the feverish enthusiasm and the blare and glare of a reunion occasion. Yet he. owes! as it to the boys to come to at least one more reunion.

Reports of Greater Loss of Life Keep Coming in from Every Section of Devastated Zone 20,000 Are Left Homeless. Monterey, Mex., Aug. 30. While the work of rescue Is going forward to- day in the vast area ravaged by the West Indian tornado and its accom- panying cloudbursts, reports .cf great- er loss of life keep coming in from every section of the devastated zone making it possible that the death list will go to 2,000 and perhaps higher. Upward of 20,000 are homeless. Families are living on roofs of enh. merged houses, slowly starving to death. An area of thousands of sauare miles, extending west from Ma tamoras to Torreon, a distance of 3( 0 miles land south 400 miles, is practically all under water. Men, women and chil- dren are floating about on improvised rafts, masses of debris or house-tops, without food. Famine is staring the people of Monterey in the face. Crops are de- stroyed. Railroads are wash.i out Bridges have been swept away. Tel- egraph and telephone wires are down. The river beds are rushing torrents and everywhere is the sickening sight of death in its most terrible form. Dead bodies are piled in trenches by the relief workers as soon as they are picked from the whirling eddies. There is no time for identification, for pestilence may break out as well -as famine. It is impossible to estimate the property loss at this timp for tho country is still Inundated, but esti mates range from $3,000,000 to $15,- 000,000. The damage done in th nlatrtnt stretches from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Vera Cruz is unprecedent ed. i Jtefi In the Monterey district alone the loss of life is believed to have been more than 1,200.
