Sailing out over the Atlantic Ocean under perfect control and in view of several thousand interested persons, the great airship, Adron, in command of Melvin Vaniman with a crew of four men, exploded while more than 500 feet in the air last week and shot down into the water a tangled mass, carrying to their death the daring aviator and his companions. Death is believed to have come instantly to the five men. This was near Atlantic City, N. J. In all the tragic history of disasters to air ships or aeroplanes, probably none was as sensational as that which 1 brought to an end the greatest and I most costly aircraft ever constructed j on the western hemisphere. Built to withstand the storms of the Atlantic Kmd Words From Burlington Mr. Editor:- In response to an invitatino from the managers of the Independence Celebration at Mebane, in company with Capt. Jas, A. Turrentine of this city, I had the pleasure of spending the 4th instant in that progressive and enterprising town of Eastern Alamance. We met there about 150 of our old comrades, and spent our time in living ! over again in memory, the stirring and thrilling days of the sixties, i?i doing full justice to a magnilicent barbecue dinner, and in watching the various amusements provided by our generous and public spirited hosts for the enter tainment of a vast multitude of men, women and children from Alamance and surrounding counties. It would be impossible to express our full appreciation of the hospitality which we so much enjoyed, there being nothing left to be desired, except the absence of some of the “boys” who were so enfeebled by age or disease that they could not be with us The exercises were short and simple. The address by Mr. Davo White, not a long one, but so much to the point that Among the many features that at tracted attention, and favorable com ment during the fourth at the Indust rial Fair at Mebane, was the more than creditable display made in the booth used by the American Tobacco Companys. At best it was an unusual thing for this company to undertake such an exhibit, as we learned that it had been more than ten years since the company had displayed such an exhibit in this state. There was 500 lbs of express received here Wednesday from the American Tobacco Company head office Fifth Avenue New York. The arrangement of the display included very attractive advertising matter for Sovereign Cigaretts. The Tuxedo Plug Cut, and the old famous Durham Bull Smok ing tobacco. The exhibit was arrang ed by that artistic advertiser, Mr. P. T. Green assisted by R. C. Shaw, and W. W. Kearn of Durham, Mr. J. E. Boland, the American Tbbacco Comp:inj^s most wide-a-wake and val uable buyer, and representativa at Mebane was here fron» Durham and gave time and valuable advice as CO the arrangement of the exhibit. Mr. Green in the afternoon of the fourth with a voice that might be mistaken for a fog horn on the Jersey coast called the crowd together, and made them happy by presenting to each a package of the America Tob acco companys finished product, either in smoking, chewing tobacco, or cig- eretts. Mebane is struggling to attract the attention of the commercial and in dustrial world, and she gratefully apj)reciates this evidence of a friendly feeling as manifested by the American Tobacco Company, As a market the American Tobacco Co*^rpany has treated Mebane well since her people began the sale of to bacco here, and Mebane has duly ap preciated this fact. We now have two good size w'arehouses here, and the indications are that they will have all the tobacco they can give accomodaticn In Honor ot Miss Scott and to carry at least a dozen men £g|j. owned the More Poetic Than Practical Some newspaper fellows more poetic than practical says you may sopn expect to see Uncle Sam flying through the air with his mail sack straped upon his back.

Cotillion club gave a delightful and informal dacce last Thursday night. The dining room of the Mock House was utilized for the purpose and from 9 until 12:30 the young people and visitors in town bad a most enjoyable evening. This was the first visit of *Iiss Scott to Thomas ville j?nd while there she made a host of friends whe were captivated with her charming manners. Those attending the german were: Miss Perry Griffith with J. P. Gilbert, Helen Julian with Charles Griffith, Pat Walser, of Lexington, with Charles Bowen, of Lexington; Cora Lee Mont gomery, of Momoe, with Eck Hedrick; Daisy Wilkins, of Gaffiney, S. C., with Willie Julian; Gladys Laney, with Leo Julian; Miss Munion, with E. F. Pepper; Miss Grimes, of Salis bury, with Joe Wagner; Miss Rogers, w'ith Mr Clark; Miss Marjorie Scott, with D, C. MacRae, Stags; Messrs Mc- Dow^ell, Plitt, Kinney, Hite and Par ham, Chaperones: Mr. and Mrs, Will Bason, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Griffith, Mr. most of the town, including furniture facto ries and all. Those of us who hid not visited Mebane for some time were astounded at the rapid and substantial growth of that future city of the Piedmont section and the general air of prosperity that pervaded everything. The entertainment provided for all was superb, and would have been creditable to a town of 5,000 population No expense was spared and no effort on the part of the citizens omitted that ^ y Crutchfield, Mrs. Stray- would add to our pleasure or comfort Music and varied amusements for the young people, comfortable seats in i shady groves for the older ones and a | general good time for all. i Hospitable and enterprising Mebane, we are under all obligations to you, and we shall carry with us through the horn and Mr, and Mrs. J. H. Mock, I Georgia Girl Receives Gitt of Languages Mebane covered her self with glory on the fourth of July, Just a month ago, Mebanes people decided they would enjoy a sane fourth of July, would take the occasion to invite their friends to come and help them enjoy it. Committies were appointed and the work entered into in real earnest, money had to be raised, for without it but little could be done, in the way of entertaining the five thousand people Mebane expected as her guest on ihht day. Ihis was done with the least bit of troubl‘d, and the other multitude of preperations completed, and carried out. The crowd has come, and gone and the day will live now as a memory but from the expressions of every one who came here, it will be a pleasant memory. It was a suprise. Mebane people met the crowd with glad hands, and a smile, and bid the visitors welcome. It. is all yours, free without price. For a town Mebanes size to undertake to feed five thousand visitors and furnish them with amusement for twelve solid hours was no easy undertaking, and yet this was what Mebane did. did it with pleasure, in fact was glad to do it and did it with ample compensation, when she considered she was serving guesjt that heartily appreciated her efforts. To detail the doings of the day would make an article of extreme length. The merry go around man Mr. J. R. Gibbs started up his machine at a quarter past Jseven o’clock in the morning, and kept up her grind until late at night. From the time it started until it stoped there were more than four thousand tickets sold for rides. The exhibition building was opened to the public at 8:30 A, M., and an immense crowd passed »in to see the pretty booths the manufactures and merchants had arranged exhibiting their goods and wares. The first on the right was Mr, J. H. Fowler groceries, the second Messers Holmes-Warren and Co. Dry Goods and groceries, then on to Mr. A. P. Long Dry Goods and groceries, L. T.

Many of the victims were holiday excursionists bound to Niagra Falls, who bad boarded the train at points along the lines. The wreck was the worst in the his tory of the road.

The strange story that Miss Ethel Ruth Davis, a Georgia girl who lives near Macon, has received the “gift of languages,” and can converse in tongues which she has never learned by study, is verified in detail by her relatives, Mrs, W. A. Scott, an aunt of Miss Davis, is quoted as declaring that the gift is one which other members of the family share with Miss Davis, but that they only have the power of speech in foreiern tongues when it is given them by “the spirit.” For instance, it is declared. Miss Davis one day startled a Chinese by conversing with him fluently in his own language, while in her normal condition she knows not a single word of Chhiese, Miss Davis was formerly instructor of art at the St, Louis Teachers’ Col lege, It is>aid that the “gift” came to her after three days of prayer and fasting. did not get here. The following arrange ment of program was observed. 11:40 a. m. Jr. O. U. A. M. March from depot to grand stand 12:00 m. Address by Dr, J. T. Burma of High Point Jr. O. U. A. M. Exercises 1:00 p. m.

Little Misfc Ruth Porter of Charlotte the Mascot of the Mecklenburg Camp of Confederate Veterans recited two beautiful pieces at the morning exercises on the fourth at Mebane, the first one was “Lee to the reer,” an incident in his campaign life during the war that has become world famous, was the bases for this pathetic, and patriotic resitation, which struck a sympathetic cord in the hearts of the old soldiers assembled here. An other piece of high merit, and much enjoyed was “My Suit of Confederate Gray.” Mis Porter aded much to the pleasure of the occasion. Capt. J. A. Turrentine commander of Alamance Camp of Confederate Veterans, delivered an able an interest ing address to the Veterans. The Confederate Veterans was all given printed badges, these badges entitled them not only to every consid eration, but it entitled them free of coat to ice cream, soda water and any kind of soft drinks sold at Drug Stores or ice cream parlor in Mebane. We saw the little remnant of the Con federate Veterans here on the fourth, but they are growing feebler, and their ranks are thinning faster each year. It was once a different day with them. Ah! the light that blazed in these old Veterans eyes in the days gone by, as the great host chained and recharged across fire fringed fields, where the engines of death were mpwing down the “flower of the South land,” and covering the earth with the bravest and best, sending thousands of cripples home to stagger across the ashes where once stood shelter for loved ones. Soon the last of these will have answered the bugle call, and joined that great army of heroes in gray who have crossed the river. Neither time, or purpose bent can ever efface from the gleaming pages of glorious renown the brave and heroic deeds that gave birth, and death to the Lost cause, you have won an heritage, th2 proudest name that ever race or linnf age bore, or gave to knightood chivalry. Goo give you all peace in the end. At one o’clock the crowd was invited to Will Murrys grove near Mrs. H. A. Bason, where the multitude was fed, fed with some of the finest brunswick stew possible to make, and barbecued lamb and young beef. There was one hundred gallons of stew, eight large lambs and seven beeves all served in the best manner of the culinery art. If you did not get your dinner it was not Mebanes fault it was here for you, but so far as we can leam every one was amply served. We talked to several Veterans who said it was the finest Brupwick stew they ever ate. After dinner there was three base ball games played, and all who enjoyed that kind of sport was amply amused. The tournament came off at about four o’clock, and resulted in Mr. O. R. Henderson of Graham cro"vning the Queen of love and beauty, which was Miss Maud Thompson of Greensboro, Mr. G. t. Moore won first maid of honor, Mr. O. S. Richmond of Pleasant by a song from Mrs. C. J. Kee, her j composition elicting much favorable comment. Mrs. Kee sang the following which was much enjoyed. “We welcome you to our town ’Cause we like to have you ‘round Come along Come along Come along Mebane In Mebane where We love to dwell Everybody’ll treat you swell Cx>me along Come along Come along Mebane Then, one two three for Mebane Hoorah hooray Our gay hoorahs and shouts today Shall rise to honor Mebane Hoorah hoorah hoorah. For our town Mebane Hoorah hoorah hoorah For “our town Mebane.” Address by Mr. D. A. White. Much to the regret of all Col. Julian S. Carr Grove won second maid, Mr. M. H. Holt won 4th Maid of Honor. The royal set begun the dance at night, which was kept up until a late hour. At least five hundred people were witnesses, or particepated in the dance. Much credit is due Mr, Felix Graves Chief Marshal for the successful conduct of the tournament and ball. While it seemed to threaten rain in the early morning, the clouds simply screened the sun and kept the atmos phere quite pleasant. It was an ideal day, all conditions seemed to conspire to make it agreeable to those who were sharing Mebanes hospitality. The decidely successful effort of Mebane to please everyone who yiaited here and make their stay agreeable on the fourth is due credit to all of Mebanes people, eadi individual from the hignest to the humblest, shared hia part in doing what he could to make the day a success in every way that Mebane couW wish it, and this wf»a aa it should be.
