THE COPY If S MI runoff1 rRlTISH MAKE NON STOP FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC peace Treaty Nears Completion and Final Limit Given Ger many; Kaiser Not Wanted In Germany; Other News. London, June 15. The final goal of all the ambitions which flying men have ventured to dream since the Wright Bi others first foSefrom the earth in a heavier-than-air machine, was realized this morning when two young British officers, Captain John lcock and Lieut. Arthur W. Brown, landed on the Irish coast after the first non-stop flight across the Atlan tic ocean. Distance of 1,900 Miles. Their voyage was without incident, so far as can be learned. It was a straightway clean cut flight achieved in sixteen hours and twelve minutes from Newfoundland to Clifden, Ire land, a distance of more than 1,900 miles. But the brief and modest description which comes from the airmen at Clif den tells of an adventurous and amaz ingly hazardous enterprise. Fog and mists hung over the North Atlantic, and the Vickers Vimy biplane climb ed and dove, struggling to extricate herself from the folds of the airplane's worst enemy. Flying Upside Down. She rose to 11,000 feet, swooped down almost to the surface of the sea, and at times the two navigators found themselves flying upside down only ten feet above the water. Before coming to earth near the Clifden wireless station, Alcock circled the wireless aerials, seeking the best spot to reach the earth, but no suita ble ground was found, so he chanced it in a'bbg: - " ' ' " " V ' What Brown Said, After Breakfast The wireless staff rushed to the aid of the aviators. They found Brown dazed and Alcock temporarily deafen ed by the force of the impact. As soon as they were able to be escorted to the wireless station they telegraph ed the news to their friends; then had breakfast. ''That is the best way to cross the Atlantic," said Lieut. Brown, after he had eaten. The time of flight was 16 hours and 12 minutes. Berlin, Saturday, June 14. Former Emperor William "belongs in the Jatfcological ward," and is not wanted m Germany, declared Herman Mueller majority socialist leader and whip in the national assembly, in 'a speech de livered before the majority social:- convention here today. Huerr Mueller, who is one of the fiost conservative of the socialists, re ferring to the rumor that an attempt tt'as to be made to bring about the re turn of the ex-emperor, warned the Russians, said to be interested in such a move, that a majority of the Ger man people would not permit his re turn. 1 The speaker declared the former ruler was dangerous to the country and blamed his verbosity for Germa-1 ' - "Hsiortunes.

P1IIS I lit Big Week of Fun On Academy Lot This week Is joy week for the younger bunch of Warrenton. Games galore, new afhd interesting, abound at the academy lot. Mothers rest in peace as the young hopefuls galavant upon the lawn under' direction of the Chautauqua Playground Leader Miss Katherine Herzog. Joyous laughter and wholesome good fun prevail whea the children are together and with the tent furnishing the fascinating air of romance, youth is full of fun. Miss Mary Chauncey is local play ground leader and she is assisted by Miss Lucy Williams. The chief, fea ture of the program was the Chautau qua parade of over sixty youngesters yesterday afternoon. Indian and red cross costumes prevailed with now and then a cosmopolitan outfit of calico or trousers fashioned of many colors. Down thru town they marched, and the street was cleared. An amateur drummer marked marching time and with true military spirit they fell in step. The children enjoyed it im mensely. The remainder of the week is feat ured by the playground activities each morning at nine and each afternoon after chautauqua program. Miss Nan Jones and Mrs. W. D.

The two were disqualified before nominations were put before the body under the act of 1909, just unearthed, prohibiting the trustees of any State institution from electing a member of the board to a position iri'the institu tion under their control.

Local celebrities of the faculty in ad dition to director Allen are Miss An nie Lee Rankin, Home Economics, and Mr. Howard F. Jones, school law. t Dr. J. Henry Highsmith was with the Institute yesterday and today. He stressed the importance of the individ ual application to the course of study and generally facilitated the opening of the Summer school program. The course is for practical benefit thru interesting discussion and it is expected that the work will be far from dry, hard, abstract nature, but all subjects taught with the human element and practical application as the guiding purpose.

Those who did not vote were counted against the measure and thus the actual count reads 91 for, 54 against. Messrs. George Herbert Jones, TornsB. Gard ner and J. B. Lancaster were poll holders. -7 Several interested gentlemen were active in urging the citizens to voxe and of the forty-three qualified elec tors who did not express a choice, it is understood thai - some were out of town and others just took for granted it would pass. .The town is under the power delegated by the citizens yesterday- empowefed to issue bonds to the extent of twenty thousand dollars to supplement private subscription for a forty thousand dollar hotel. Labor Repudiates Debs. At the Atlantic City Convention or ganized labor refused by an over whelming majority, to appeal for clemency for Eugene V. Debs and other persons convicted under the espionage law. Such action was ask ed for by the "Reds." Turbulence in Mexico The Villa rebels "in northern Mexico are again very r.ctive, and theCar ranza government seems very sluggish in its movements against them. The city of Juarez, on the Rio Grande op posite El Paso, is now reported to be within Villa's grasp. Children's Day At Hebron Hebron Methodist church observed Children's Day there last Sunday be fore a crowded house. A most excel lent program -J was . rendered in a splendid manner. "Dr. J. T. Gibbs was present and delivered a 'short address. Following the exercises the Centenary quota of the church, showing a little deficit, was lifted over the top. EIWS FROM fflUMTY ABTS CREDIT UNION ORGANIZED IrV ARCOLA COMMUNITY Mis$ Rankfn Returns From Con ference In Raleigh ; Boys . and Gfrls Club Meetings; Bason To Attend Oxford Meeting. V Boysj and Girls club "meeting will be held ;as' follows: Wise, Thursday at 3 p. m.fjMacbn, Friday at 3 p, m, The Nutbush community x club will meet Wednesday at 3 p. m. On last Friday night a credit union, or f armer.'s co-operative bank was organized at Areola with the follow ing officers: J. F. Hunter, Pres.; W. T. Hatdy, Vice-Pres.; Miss E. R. DaviSjIVjSecty-Treas. On Saturday night a credit union was also organi zed at i Warren Plains with officers as follows!; John Cawthorne, Pres.; G. H. FrazierV-Pres.; W. A. Connell, Jr., Secty-Treas. It is?believed that these organiza tions will "do much toward furnishing the farmers in these communities although they have begun in a small way the indications are that a large membership can be expected by fall. Every farmer in these two commun ities should belong to these organi zations; ! The State has gone to the expense to enact laws and put tha machinery in operation to make it possible for farmers to have these or ganizations, and, the farmer that does not belong to a credit union is paying for something that he is not getting. The opportunity is at your door, if you do not make the best of it, then who is to blame? Any farmer that does not thorough ly understand what the organization is and wKat it does can find out from any of the members or from the coun ty agent' ; -hjCntygtwiU go to Ox ford June 25th to attend a three day conference of all agents in the cen tral district. The object of the meet ing is to study the tests and experi ments that are being carried out at the test farm. While there the Coun ty Agent hopes to arrange a date when a number of farmers" from the county can go to Oxford and go over this farm and learn something about what is going on there. This trip should be of special interest to every farmer in the county who is engaged in raising tobacco, as this is princi pally a tobacco test farm. PROGRAM FOR OXFORD MEET- ING.

CONVICTS ARE SAV ING THEIR MONEY Richmond, Va., June 16. Convicts imprisoned in the Virginia State Pen itentiary are buying Thrift and War Stamps regularly, according to a statement made today by Major James B. Wood, the prison superin tendent. The men serving time with :n the high walls of "Old White Top," as the state bastile is called by its in mates, have found these government securities as they have been found everywhere safe, profitable and con venient for the investment of small sums. Moreover, as prison officials point out, the convicts though they have lost their citizenship, that being the state law, still retain their patriotism. Many of' them invested generously in Liberty Bonds when the government appealed to the people for funds with which to prosecute and win the war. One prisoner, attired in the striped garb of the penitentiary, appeared before the officials at the prison offica and directed the investment of $400 in bonds. By virtue of a legislative enactment the men are allowed a small sum for daily work. , A number of the con victs send all this to their homes; others retain half of it and much of this is being put into Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The superintendent said his books showed tHat the pris oners had invested more than $2,000 in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. No solicitors are allowed within the prison walls, it was explained, and the fact that the convicts have recognized the merits , of the government's sav ing securities and are investing their money in them is said to be gratify ing to the prison officials, since it ha been proved that thrifty persons be they convicts or not are invariably the best and most cheerful workers. Moreover, the convicts who are sav ing are looking to the future when they will have a stubsta'ntial stake for their fresh start in life. - Brithish expeditions are organized to try to .reach both the North and South Pole by airplanes.
