Some seem to think that this is an advertising scheme, and that no flights will take place. This Is very erroneous, because the management ' has a contract with one of the larg est booking agencies in America for Prank J. Terrill to fly twice each day, morning and afternoon with a genuine Curtiss 80-horse power ma chine. Mr. Terrill is already In the city and . will be present on the opening day and will make flights ?ach day on schedule time, regard less of the weather. ''Kir, Terrill Is one of the best known aviators In America today. He has made ovew 400 successful flights In the past 1 two years. If for any reason Mr. 1 Teril! Is forced to cancel his con- ' tract thru accident .the management will secure within twenty-four hours time another aviator with a reputa- ( tlon equally as great, as Mr. Terrell. lioduced Rates on Railroads.

Case to be Appealed. A cubo of unusual interest to cot tou mill, laborers ihruoul the slate was that of John Champion against cho llermltuge Cotton. Mill, of this city, tried several days ago before Magistrate 11. M. Kincher. The Ju ry decided in favor of. the plalntlff? nmllng a penalty of$100. This is one of the first cases un der a new law pabsed In 1911, pro viding '"that where one Ih employ-' ed l>y a corporation for wages, payable at certain fixed periods be yond the time during which time th .. labor Is performed, and iu for any reason .discharged, the wages be come due immediately aud a penalty of five- dollars per day is Imposed for failure to pay such wages, after the lapse of twenty-four hours." ~ ? The case will likely come up at the sessions court this week, and should the Mill Company lose it. la certain that the company will carry the case to the supreme court as some very Interesting question* have been raised concerning the conten tions of the law. ? \ Champion who was employed In the card room of the mill, brought suit for a penalty under this law, 1 claiming that he had been discharg ed and the company had failed up on deniand, to pay hiip. On the oth er hand the mill company does not deny owing the wajges, contending that^ Champion had voluntarily left: Its employment while fleeing from a warrant about to be served upon him for soiling whiskey, and that It: was ready to pay the wages as soon as the plaintiff vacated the premi ses. Champion was represented by. Mendfel L. Smith and I. C. Hough, and the ootton mill by W.

Legge.who (lied suddenly JjDLimnden on Friday morning* ar, xived In Charleston yesterday after noon, the Internment , taking place Immediately afterward at Magnolia cemetery, where many sorrowing friends had gathered to i>ay their last tribute. "For many" years Mr. Legge was oonnected with the public schools of this city, and as principal of the Bennett Scho<AI|fre was closely iden tified with the educationla advance ment of Charleston. For several years he taught In the Porter Mili tary Academy, resigning that posi tion in 1912 to accept a call lo the superintendence of the city schools of Camden, in which capacity he wa serving at the time of his death. '"That which above all things has characterized Mr. Legge's long and useful career as a teacher la the high regard and esteem in which he was held by his pupils. As children they loved him and later in life when they bad grown to manhood and womanhood their affection was undiminished. Many a man and many a woman of Charleston has been inspired to loftier thought and higher ideals as. a direct result of his tutelage. "That he had met with continued success with his work in Camden, and that he was held in the same high regard there is evidenced by the public sorrowing in that town. Mrrx. T. Mills* aprominont attor ney of Camden, and one of the es cort who accompanied the body tc Charleston, in discussing Mr. Legge' death, said: "'I consideir his death one of the most serious losses our community has sustained in many years. His work in Camden ha* been of inestimable value. In a comparatively short time he had so closely identified himself with Our affairs and had become so genuine a factor in our community that now to us ho seems indispensable. Few deaths have ever caused such gener al arrowing in Camden/li: Besides Mr. Legge's family and Mr. Mills, the remains were accom-r paqled to \ Charleston by J. C. Ro wan, of the board of trustees, and Prof. Simpson, of the faculty of the Camden High, School. - "Conspicuous among the profuse and beautiful floral tributes which covered the gravo was an offering from the board of trustees of the Camden schoolB.

The f\i leral will take place here Tuesday at 11 o'clock. ^ ' Mr. Rembert was 38 years of age. tie was born In Sumter County, but. jamo to Columbia several yda^s ago. ,He worked first as a mail . clerk, , then road law. and after being ad mitted to tho bar rose rapidly in his profession. He served several terms In the Legislature being a member of that body at his death. Since the election <?f Gov. Blease Mr. Rembert . had been atfTnl hist ration leader in the lower house.

Rembert of Sumter county, and Prof. A. C. Rembert of Wofford tol lego, and one sister, Mrs. Lawrence, who lives in the North. Mr. Rembert ehtered the . race for governor last spring. As the result of strenuous work in behalf of his. candidacy and the severe strain of making speeches in various parts of the state he suffered a beakdown, which confined him to his home. From the first fears were felt for his recovery, and for, the past week, his famijy had abandoned hope. Tho end came at 11 .o'clock Mr. Rembert was well known thru out SoUth Carolina, and had many Triends, wlio will mourn his death. He was popular in Richland county > and Columbia, which always elected him to the legislature no matter who opposed him. He was an alumnus >f the University and a member of he firm of Rembert and Montieth. It looks natural to see Mr. Robt,.
