Propeller Machine to Beat C'ur
tiss Grand Priz (allies $20,000
in Prizes.
(By Cable to The Times'.)
Rheinis, France, Aug. 24 Six and
one-fifth miles in eight minutes, thirty-five
seconds, or forty-four miles an
hour, made by Glenn H. Curtiss, of
the United States, and thirty-five
miles in fifty-eight seconds made by
SI. Paulhan, of France.
Those were the two records that
the aviators gathered upon Betheny
Plain in the first international avia
tion tournament set out to beat today.
America's chances for the honor of
being the first nation to hold the in
ternational aviation cup seemed even
brighter today when Curtiss an
nounced that he had established his
new world's record for speed while
his engine was not running at full
power and that he had not made an
attempt, to gain time upon the curves.
The vast crowds which filled the
grandstands and spread out over the
field cheered lustily for I hp American
aviator today when ho made his first
appearance and the Americans among
the spectators could not control their
enthusiasm.
The betting today became heavier
than at any time yet. The crowds
are getting larger, too. Train load
after Jrain load came from Paris,
while the roads leading to the aero
drome on Betheny Plain were black
with automobiles, carriages and ped
estrians. Curtiss Is now the favor
ite in the betting fey the international
cup.
"1 was not trying to make a, new
record or break any old ones," said
Curtiss. "I merely wished to qualify
for the grand prix. Why, my engine
was never at full speed."
Those whose names were on the
list as having qualified to continue in
the gran prix De La Champagne
were: M. Paulhan, Curtiss, Lefbvere,
Delegrange, Bunau-Varilla, Bleriot
(with four machines), Gobron, Four
nier Sommer, Conite De Lambert,
Cockburn, Latham, Tissandier and
Farman.
With a view to beating Curtiss. SI.
Bleriot made ready today for the use
of a four-bladed propeller machine
instead of one with two blades. As
tne Grand Prix carries szo.oou in
prizes, if can readily be seen why the
competition is so keen. However,
this sum will be splil up among aero
planists. The ten kilometres speed
test, will be run at the same time as
the Grand Prix.
Many aviators elect to make their
flights in the evening when weather
conditions are more propituous rath
er than in the middle of the day.
This compels many among the spec
tators to spend the early part of the
night upon the ground: others prac
tically live in the field.
The present tournament has done
more to give impetus to the aero
nautic movement than anything. SI.
Delegrange sees a great boom in the
science of flying, while Conite De
Lambert, a Wright pupil, declares
airship racing will soon take the
place of automobile racing.

licpiihlicaus Got In l .i.lcr False Col
ors 'estioii In Next Congress is
Going to le Whether or Not Men
Should Tell the Truth.
( By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 24 "It doesn't
take as much sense to be president
as it does to be either senator or con
gressman these days," said Congress
man Champ Clark, as he passed
through Omaha on a Chautauqua
tour. "There are 1 0.0(10 men in the
I'nited States who would make good
presidents if they could be elected.
What we need most is senators and
congressmen who will look out for
the poor common people.
"The tariff bill is two percent worse
than any bill ever passed in the
I'nited States and this can be figured
out by plain arithmetic. When the
maximum schedule goes into effect it
will carry 25 percent worse. The re
publicans promised revision down
ward and the country got revision
skyward. Every manufactured ar
ticle will cost more just as sure as
yon are born.
"If the people don't elect a dem
ocratic congress next time it will be
the strangest thing that ever happen
ed in American polices. The repub
licans got in under false colors. The
question in the next congress is go
ing to be whether or not men should
tell the truth.
New York. Aug. 24 Guarded like
a czar by a swarm of policemen and
private detectives, E. H. Harriman
will arrive in Hohoken lute today on
the Kaiser Wilhelm II, bringing a
potential inlluence not only upon Wall
(street, but perhaps affecting the
economic conditions of the. entire
country. The health of the ruler of
a nation scarcely means more than
that of the potentiate of railroads
who comes home today after a search
for health abroad. The Erie Rail
road officials took to most unusual
precautions today to keep harm and
annoyance from Mr. Harriman as he
leaves the Erie terminal in a special
train for his summer residence at
Arden.
Mr. Harriman is scheduled to ar
rive at the Hoboken pier at 2:30
o'clock, but it will likely he sundown
before he is en route upon the special
for his home. The plan for the
transportation of an European auto
crat lacked scarcely any details made
for the safe and quick journey from
i ne sieamsnip pier to tne Harriman
country home.
The feeling of keen anxiety over
the real condition of Mr. Harriman's
health was intensified today as the
hour for his arrival drew near. It
was said that Mr. Harriman may not
remain long at Arden, despite the
great preparations made there for his
comiug. The house is far from com
plete, notwithstanding that, an army
of 0 0 workmen, employed night, and
day. have toiled incessantly to com

arrangements for the transfer of his
master late this morning. Mr. Harri

had it to loan vaa a n a: who made
corn to sell, not only a sufficient
amount for the support of his farm,
but an excess. This h; th-.1 prosper

through the lips and downs of farm
life since the war. With this ack
nowledged experience before him it is
hoped that North Carolina farmers
will profit by it, and every farmer
raise the corn necessary to maintain
his farm. A man out of corn on his
farm is generally out of everything
else. You would not go to such a
neighbor to borrow a turn of wheat
or a joint of home-raised, bacon.
The average product of the states
of the corn belt as they are generally
denominated per acre is about 30
bushels. There is hardly an acre of
ground suitable for growing corn in
the state than cannot in four years
be brought to this condition, and
maintained at it by proper farming.
These corn states use but little
mineral fertilizer they depend on
farm yard manure and so should
we. I have never known a barren
larm recuperated solely by the use
of mineral fertilizers. They do not
produce humus, without which there
is no hope of restoration.
In the early days of the use of
fertilizers, as we generally call
them, some brands would be benefic
ial the second year on account of the
slowness with which constituents be
come available. Prominent farmers
objected to such goods they said
they wanted it to do all it could in
one year and make the largest re
turn for the money. This style of
fanning, which is almost universal,
gives each year the greatest yield pos
sible from the land, without regard
to the future, and has damaged our

hiring hands and working only for

this and looks upon each year as re

prove his lands. This principle is
recognized in all other business and
the farmer must be guided by it. or
soon sell, his land to someone who
will.
The department of agriculture is
now at least partly equipped in al
most every demand. The last divis
ion, that of botany and biology, was
put in operation on July 1st. This
was made necessary by the passage
of the pure seed law, passed by the
legislature last winter. Mr. Barlow
is in charge of this division. Sam
ples of grain, agricultural and vege
table seed can be sent to him for ex-'
amination as to purity and viability.
It is expected that seeding the state
with noxious weeds will cease and
their eradication be undertaken.1
Those of yon who are interested 'can 1
consult Mr. Barlow. The need . of a
properly constructed building for
good work by the department will
be evident to all who examine the
present structure. The welfare of
the farmer, as well as the preserva
tion of valuable property, demand
this, and we hope It will not he long
