Dive In Bay Ends
Flight Over Ocean
Second Mishap Definitely Ends Hope
Of Making Flight Within
Time Limit.
Seattle, June 1—A spectacular
dive into Elliott bay here Monday
ended the transpacific flight attempt
of Nathan C. Browne, New York
aviator, at starting point.
Browne and his volunteer assist
ant in refueling operations, Frank
Brooks, were fished out of the wat
er by a party in n sea sled. Browne
had a dislocated shoulder. Brooks
was unhurt although he complained
he “hadn't intended to take a bath
until Saturday."
“We both left the plane at the
same time.' Brooks said. "We eould
not help it. When the wing tore off,
we were left sitting almost in the
open air.
" It rained plane all around us as
we settled in our parachutes to the
water. We left the plane at an al
titude of about 500 feet and the
chutes opened about 100 feet before
we lit."
( ause of Dive.
Brooks said the wing was torn off
in a steep dive caused when (lie
weighed nozzle of the gasoline hose
dangling from the refueling plane
above caught in the stabilizer ot
Browne's plane and lilted the tail
and smashed the rudder assembly.
Browne was clinging to wreckage
w hen he was picked up some dis
tance from where the fuselage of
the plane dropped into the deep
water.

t’s as though the tobaccos
were Welded’together...
CROSS-BLENDING" means much
more than just mixing tobac
cos together.
It "welds” together different
kinds of the several varieties of
tobacco . . . many types of Bright
tobacco, a great many types of
Burley tobacco and numerous
grades of Turkish tobacco.
• • •
THIS WELDING” TOGETHER-or
Cross-Blending—permits every kind
of tobacco used in the Chesterfield
blend to partake of the best qual
ities of every other type. Each to
bacco is thus made to yield its
finest flavors.
• • •
CROSS-BLENDING takes all these
pleasing flavors and aromas and
combines them into one—the Chest
erfield taste. And we think you
will agree that it is a far better taste
. . . worth all the extra care that
Chesterfield takes to get it.
• • • 1 /
EVERYTHING that money can buy
and that science knows about is done
to make CHESTERFIELD milder
and taste better.

that is beside the point.

■ If the Maryland coast, Newman took one of his business cards, wrote
on the back •‘write me/’ put the card in a bottle, and tossed the bottle
into the waves. The odds were 100-to-onc or perhaps mere, that the
bottle would never be found, not in years, at least, until it was washed
up with the tide on some beach. But las' week young Newman was
looking through his mail at his office in Charlotte. Among the letters
was one from Wallace Spencer. Oracokc, North Carolina "Today,” it
read and the date was the 24th, "I found a bottle on the beach at Ora
coke. In it was this card and address of yours. How long had the bottle
been drifting with the waves?”
Beat that! It was tossed from a boat ofr the Maryland coast on the'
20th and picked up on the North Carolina coast four days later, on

GETTING VOTES
AND HOW!
Toddling around here and there, one hears many hmactou* incidents
about the campaign over the county.
One day last week, as we heard it from Supt. Horace Gngg, two of
the county candidates, one for recorder and one for solicitor, were cam
paigning at Lawndale. They approached a voter who was known by
one candidate but not by the other. The candidate who did not know
the man held out his hand and said: “I’m So-and-so. I’m running for
such-and-such an office, and if your conscience will permit, I’d ap
preciate your vote.”
"Your conscience be hanged,' spoke up the candidate who knew the
voter. "I’ll appreciate vour vote despite that
ONLY FIVE VETS
SLEEP IK SUNSET
Only five World war veterans are burned in Shelbv Sunset ceme
tery.
The other day when the Auxiliary members were selling poppies
omeone hopped up with the wonder as to how many veterans of the
last war are buried there. Then someone else happened to think that
on Memorial Day the graves of practically all Confederate dead are
decorated, "but the burial places of veterans of a war that took place
in more recent years are not generally known.
With the curiosity aroused, it was decided to get in touch with Tom
Abemethy, the postal clerk and legion official, and find out what he
know about it. Tom generally has A-l information about the veterans
and their records.
Prom him we learned that five men who saw service in the brawl
with Germany are buried in Sunset. They are Capt. ITugh Logan, Col
J. T. Gardner, Vic Rudasill. Price Hoey, and George Scordas, the Greek
who was so popular.
Tom did not know where all the county’s veterans are burled, but
would appreciate getting information conce-r.ing them from relatives
of the soldier dead. He did know, however, where 15 others are buried
in county cemeteries.
Joe Spangler, whose body was brought back from overseas, and Fred
and Broadus Weathers are buried at Ross Grove.
Pratt Street, also brought back from overseas, is buried at Zoar.
just below town.
Ralph Rhyne is buried at Beulah. Butler Hord's grave is at Eliza
beth, Ed Price’s at Lattimore, Broadus Doty’s at Sandy Plains, Esley
Cabaniss’ at Zion, Gordon Logan's at Patterson Springs; B. Connie Mc
Swain and Brady Rippy are buried at New Hope at Earl, James Raterec
and "Dyke” Rollins are buried at Grover, and the exact burial nlace of
Harvey Allen is not recorded,
Who knows of the burial places of others?
