WORLD'S CHAflPION DEAD.
Han Who Had Sailed Nearly 10,.
000 Feet High, Drops to His
Death and Body Ground to
Pieces.
Denver. Col., Iinti-h, lTtli.
With one wing tip of his machine
crumpled like a piece of paper,
Ralph Johnstone, the brilliant young
aviator, holder of the world's alti
tude record, dropped like a plummet
from a height of 500 fe. into the
enclosure at Overland Park aviation
field late today and was instantly
killed.
When the spectators, crowded
about the enclosure, reached him,
his body lay beneath the engine of
the biplane, with the white planes
that had failed him in his time of
need, wrapped about it like a shroud.
Nearly every bone in his body was
broken.
He had gambled with death once
too often, but he played the game to
the end, fighting coolly and grimly
to the last second to regain control
of his broken machine. Fresh from
his triumphs at Belmont Park, where
he had broken the world's record
for altitude with a flight of 9,711
feet, Johnstone attempted to give
the thousands of spectators an extra
thrill with his most daring feat, the
spiral glide, which has made the
Wright aviators famous. The spec
tators got their thrill, but it cost
Johnstone his life.
The fatal flight wa9 the second
Johnstone had made this afternoon.
In the first flight, when he was in
the air with Hoxey and Brookins, he
had gone through his usual program
of dips and glides with the machine
apparently under perfect control.
Then Johnstone rose again and after
a few circuits of the course to gain
height, headed toward the foothills.
Still ascending he swept back in
a big circle and as he reached the
north end of the enclosure, he start
ed his spiral glide. He was then at
an altitude of about 800 feet. The
machine tilted at an angle of nearly
1)0 degrees and he swooped down in
a narrow circle, the aeroplane seem
ing to turn almost in its own length.
As he started the second circle the
middle spur, which braces the left
1 side oi the lower plane, gave way
li and the wing tips of both upper and
lower places ioiueu up as muugu
they had been hinged. For a second
Johnstone attempted to right the
plane by warping the other wing
tip. Then the horrified spectators
saw the dane swerve like a wound-
yf ed bird and plunge straight toward
the earth.
Johnstone was thrown from his
seat as the nose of the plane swung
downward.
He caught on one of the wire stays
between the planes and grasped one
of the wooden braces of the upper
plane with both hands. Then, work
ing with hands and feet he fought
by main strength to warp the planes
so that their surfaces might catch
the air and check his descent For
a second it seemed that he might
succeed, for the football helmet he
wore blew off and fell much more
rapidly than the plane.
The hope was but momentary,
however, for when about 300 feet
from the ground, the machine turn
ed completely over and the specta
tors fled wildly as the broken plane,
with the aviator still fighting grim
ly in its mesh of wires and stays,
plunged among them with a crash.
Scarcely had Johnstone hit the
gaound before morbid men and wo
men swarmed over the wreckage
fighting with each other for souve
nirs. One of the wooden stays had
gone almost through Johnstone's
body. Before doctors or police could
reach the scene, one man had torn
this splinter from the body and ran
away carrying his trophy with the
aviator's blood still dripping from
its ends.
Death of firs. Nancy Parker.
Mrs. Nancy Parker, widow of Mr.
Elijah Parker, died on the 5th, at the
home of her son, Mr. S. M. Parker of
south Monroe township. Mrs. Par
ker was nearly 90 years old. Her
maiden name was Rogers. She leaves
six sons and two daughters. The
sons are Messrs. Levi G., Cullen and
Burton Parker of Arkansas; Y. R ,
A. L. and S. M. Parker of this coun
ty. The daughters are Mrs. Bettie
Beacham of Anson county and Mrs.

In rtemoriam.
Inasmuch as the Master, who doeth
all things well, has called away from
earth our sister in Christ, Mrs. Addie
A. Blair, we, the members of the La
dies Aid Society of the Monroe Pres
byterian church, feel that this is the
fitting time to give a feeble expres
sion of our appreciation of her beau
tiful life and character. As an ideal
mother to her own children, as a
sweet teacher of little Sunday school
children, as a gentle-woman of the
olden type, she has moved among us
for many years and won the love
and esteem of many hearts. And
now that she has come to her grave
in a full age, like as a shock of corn
cometh in its season, we realize that
it is for the best; though each of us
feels that she has lost a kind, sunny
hearted friend, who was always glad
to help us and encourage us in our
feeble efforts in the Master's service.
"Oh! life hath glory and gloom and
grace,
And pleasures blent with pain;
But we miss the smile of a gentle face
That we shall not see again
That we shall not see, till the Judgment
Day
Hath beaten the barriers all away."
Mrs. Frances Ramsay,
Mrs. Hettie Williamson,
Mrs. Frank Armfield,
Committee.
Death of Mrs. Harriett Arant.
Mrs. Harriett Arant died Saturday,
the 12th, at the home of her son, Mr.

been in failing health for some time.
She leaves four sons and one daugh
ter. The sons are Messrs. John A.
and Philip Arant of Chesterfield
county, Robert Arant of Florida and
Hugh Arant of Mississippi.
Mrs. Arant was a good woman, an
humble and a devoted christian, a
faithful member of the Methodist
church. She will be greatly missed
in the community in which she lived
s long.

PERCIVAL CAME BACK.
He Shed Hi Nam and Later Haugh
tily Returned to It.
Tercival didn't like his name, and
neither did IVrcival's father, but
Percival's mother had a say-so in
the matter, and that ended it.
Percival w ished, now that ho was
twenty years of age and a rising
young bank clerk or one who
wanted to rise, at least that he
had been named George or Henry,
these names being far more digni
fied and substantial as to sound.
rercival's father wished that Fer
cival had been named Alexander
junior, but he did not voice this
aloud, and nobody at the time Per
cival had been named seemed to
think how appropriate it would
have been to name him Percival
Alexander, Jr.
Thus things had rocked along for
twenty years, during which Percival
had been the butt and mockery of
his fellows. lie had been cured of
parting his hair in the middle and
of smoking cigarettes, and now, a
fairly steady youth, he had almost
reached man's estate with this un
happy name hitched to him.
lie invariably signed his name
r. C. Roberts or P. Clayton Rob
erts and encouraged people to call
him by his middle name or, failing
in this, to at least make it "1. U."
His mother was wroth at this in
gratitude and frankly said so. But
rercival.stuck to it. He would have
no Tercival in hie. He went fur
ther and 6ocretly encouraged inti
mate friends to call him Sandy.
Then one day ho changed. His
mother found some new engraved
cards in his room reading Percival
Clayton Roberts and marveled, even
while she was glad. When his
father heard of it he was indignant.
But Tcrcival enlightened them not.
But Uncle William did. He view
ed the situation on all sides and
gave it as his opinion as an expert
that there was a girl in the case a
girl who liked tie name of Percival.
And when rercival was a&ked
about it he drew himself up haugh
tily. "Is it necoesary," he eaid, with
the cold dignity of a man of twen
ty, "that my private affairs be dis
coed ?"
"Nary a bit, reTee," said Uncle
William, "nary a bit. No use to dis
pose 'em at all that I can see."
Tbm he went outdoors and explod
ed into laughter, for Uncle William
had been there and knew a few
tilings himself. Galveston News.

The LoAtst Tamperaturr.
It is a curious fact that the' low
est atmospheric temperature ever
recorded by the thermometer was at
a point almost directly over the
equator. A balloon equipped with
a self registering instrument was
sent up from the shore of Victoria
Nyanza, in central Africa, and it
rose to a height of twelve miles. The
temperature at that height wa3
ncarlv 119 degrees below zero Fah
renheit. It is possible that even
greater cold nught be found twelve
miles above the pole, but the weight
of scientific opinion is that the up
per air over the torrid zone is gen
erally colder than over the arctic
regions.
