Skillman Joins In
Search For Pilot Of
Lost Mail Plane
J. S. Buckman, mail pilot who
wings his way over Warrenton each
night, was forced to jump from his
plane early Saturday morning near
Rock Hill, S. C., after he had flown
off his course on account of heavy
clouds and his gasoline supply being
exhausted, according to a
story carried in Saturday's Raleigh
Times.
Word that the mail plane was
'ost was received here at 4:30 o'clock
on Saturday morning by E. A. Skillman,
local weather observer, when
he was called from Raleigh and
notified that the plane had failed
o reach that point after leaving
Richmond at 9 o'clock.
Mr. Skillman, thinking it possible
that the plane had been forced
down on the emergency field near
Warrenton, made a hurried trip to
that point only to find chat such
was not the case. He said that at
1:45 the night before that he had
wired Richmond field that the
clouds over Warrenton were 300 feet
high, visibility three miles, that the
temperature here was 47 degrees and
that the wind was blowing from
the Northeast at the rate of four
miles an hour.
Mr. Skillman explained that in
the daytime he had to estimate the
height of clouds, but at night with
the aid of a light beam and scale
it was possible to obtain measurement
of clouds within ten feet of
actual distance. He also added that
when the clouds were as low as 300
feet it was forbidden for passengers
to ride in planes but that pilots
could use their own discretion. He
said that the pilot was afraid to
fly under the clouds because of the
'danger of striking a hill or other
cbstacle and that when he arose

The Associated Press account of
; the plane crash as carried in the
Raleigh Times is as follows:
Rock Hill, S. C., Nov. 19.?J. S.
Buckman, piloting the Eastern Air
Transport mail from Richmond to
Jacksonville took to his parachute
16 miles south of here early today
when he became lost in a heavy fog,
leaving his plane to crash somewhere
in the vicinity. Buckman
landed safely.
Buckman telephoned E. T. A. officials
in Charlotte and then started
out to search for the plane which
was found wrecked but with the
mail safe about three miles from
where the pilot jumped.
Buckman said he drained his
tanks of gasoline to prevent possibily
of fire and then jumped, landing
four miles from Edgemoor near
the farm of A. G. Westbrook from
whose home he sent word to
Charlotte.
Buckman said he was far off his
route and became lost when the
; radio beams from Spartanburg cut
in on the beams from Charleston.
He said he flew about until his gasoline
gave out and then was forced
to jump from 7,000 feet.
Buckman, who is from Jacksonville,
was flying the coast route and
said he attempted to head inland
in order to escape a possible landing
at sea.

ier, 94-year-old Confederate veteran j
tvho served during the War between!
the State as General Robert E. Lee's
orivate secretary for seven months,
died at his home here last night
after an illness of many months.
"Uncle Role," as he was known to
hundreds, served as a magistrate in
Jackson county until two years ago. |
He was appointed justice of the j
peace by Governor Br03 den 64 years 1
ago.
Two years ago his condition became

Signs of Time Point
To A Cold Winter
Migratory birds, fur-bearing animals,
and even the lowly prairie
dog have all put their official stamp
of approval on forecasts by the U.
S. Weather Bureau that the snow

of howling winds this winter.
Ducks, geese and other migratory
fowl started their flights southward
earlier than usual this fall. From
zoos all over the* country keepers
report that fur-bearing animals are
growing unusually heavy coats. And,
as if this formidable array of evidence
were not enough, prairie dogs j
are building such high mounds as J
they have not constructed since the
blizzard of '88.
Although these time honored
authorities are not to be sneezed
at, the U. S. Weather Bureau issued
its forecast without consulting them,
basing its prophecy on the law of
averages. We have had, says the
weather bureau, five consecutive |
mild winters, and can hardly hope J
for the sixth in a row. And so it |
seems that Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
should fill the coal bin. dust off the
snow shovel, and get the family
chariot ready for a long, hard season.

Davis Tells How
To Plant Cabbage
Stating that every family should
plant a few cabbage plants without
delay, John S. Davis well known
farmer and former representative
of Warren county in the legislature
at Raleigh, this week recommends
the manner in which the plants
should be set out. His suggestion
follows:
"Every family who has not done
so should set out a few plants for
early spring without further delay,
certainly during November. They
should be set in the bottom of
trenches 3 inches deep and 16 inches
apart, with the whole stalk in the
ground to prevent frost killing. II
you have never tried this plan do
so now upon my responsibility and
with favorable weather conditions
you will be surprised at the uniform
earliness and productiveness.*'
