SPENCER EXCELS- PTJMO NT- English Aeronaut in Air Ship of His Own Invention SMafces Elight oVer London. London, v Sept, 1 9 . Stanley Spencer, a well-known English aeronaut, today successfully accoma plish jbl remarkable flight over Lon don in an airship of his own inyeh- tion. It is estimated that his ship! traveled nearly thirty miles. Spencer seemed to have complete control of his vessel. . He started from the Crystal Palace at a quar ter after 4 o'clock this aftermoon and executed an easy descent at the little village of East Cote three hours later. Spencer has been expe rimenting recently . with his vessel at the Crystal Palace. Finding the condition suitable, he suddenly decided to start off on his dangerous voyage late this afternoon. The airship ,atk once rose to a height of about 300 feet After trav eling for about a mile with practi- Sounds Their DeathKnell The following paragraph is taken without alteration or erastre from the Ashville Gazoot, one horse Repub lican organ, issued at Aiheville; and it is raproduced because it sounds the death-knell of Republicanism in North Drrolina: " "If you select a manager for your business affairs, and he turns a prcs perous business into a failure a surplus into a deficit -while all other budiueas in the community is your opinion of that manager? That question esemblea a real paramount i88ue in the present political cam paign in this State." Verily, out of their owu mouths are they condemned. It will be a lug time before the people of North Carolina forget how the iVsion Re publican Legislature turned prosper ity to dire disaster how they "nearly bankrupted and blabted this fair State by their misrule of corruption. The Gazoot is entirely ', correct. The estiou will be an issue in this oampaign. It will always bean issue a hideous nightmare, ever before the eyes of the people as a solemn earning against ever permitting Re Publican misrule in North Carolina aSain.-Charloite News. - Hon. W. W. Kitchln at Mt Tirzah, According to appointment Hon. W. W. rlitchin addressed his fellow citizens on the issues of the day here Saturday evening. As this was the day for holding the Primaries in the various townships there was not as large a gathering as there otherwise would have been. Among other things he discussed the Tariff, the Phillipine question, the Trust and the Independents. Of course he easily proved that the Demtcatic party is right on all these questions. It as a strong, logical, vote-mak 1 1 1 t ing speecn ana every one in tae en thusiastic audience went away proud of "our peerless Congressman. The primarv was a very harmon ious affair. Hon, G. G. Moore's name wss mentioned for the Legisla fcure. He seemed to be very much surprised at tnis ana male a very patriotic speech in which he said he was only working for the good of the nartv ana had no idea or run- ning for any office. Mt. Tirzah stands ready to help nominate and elect him. There was only one thing that everybody seemed to have their mind made upon before hami and that t is that Mt. Tirzah's. candidate for sheriff must be nominated. Mt. Tir- ziah invites the other precincts to join with us and lets make it unam mous. W. Law for Ornament Only. The Prisidenthas held up Massa chusetts Anti-Trust law to the ad miring gaze of the American people as a model law of its kind and as a panacea for the trust eyil. Yet this ye ry same anti-trust law is so unsatisfactory to the people of Mas sachusetts i&at they ftolr haying had vhariof actual ekerience with it, havefound! it wanting and" now ibae a commission drafting anew one tb tafca its place. If this i$ to be taken as a criterion of thr Presidsnt's idea of a national anti- trust remedy heaven deliver the country from it3 infliction upon them."
