aviator Shews Enver?km Theory I WM Correct-Curt?**, Flew (By Associated Prese.) Elmira, N. Y.. Blay M.-TLe theory I of Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley, who | proclaimed to the worid thai he hi ' solved the problem of the air several 1 years before the npper elements had] been successfully navigated by a hav ier-than-slr machine was vindicated at Hammondsport yesterday, when Glenn Curtlss. jhe, aviator, went aloft tn Langley s folly." Tho crme flying machine, which tell ! into the Potomac rir?^ when Dr. Langley, its inventor, attempted to fly In H and which later was consigned to the Smithsonian Institution'At Wash ington had every requisite for flight.! Htfd remained in the.air long enough to demonstrate the practical mind of IOU maser who had been ridiculed by J his incredulous contemporaries. But for an' untimely accident, and] what was termed the "miserliness pt the government" Langley would have | undoubtedly won fame during his life time. Instead, he died a broken hearted mao, after devoting twenty | years ot his life to the ctudy of avia tion. Years later others received the J fame and credit where he should have had a share. Langley made the fatal error of try ing to catapult the flyer into the air with the aid of ponderous spring, but he only succeeded in wrecking the ma chine. Rad he tried, the method pur sued today of running it along Uta I ally in the air, there is little doubt he would have made the first flight in a. hsarler-t?t?d- alr aiachine. The antiquated machine was sent to Hammondsport about two isnatto ago. Scarcely a change waa made hi ita I parts. The surface of the wines, which bad suffered from long storage were replaced. Other minor parts re- ! paired were duplicates of the origin als. The machine was driven today ! by the old motor built by Charles ' Manly. Dr. Langley wa? the secretary of the j Smithsonian Institution. He was Bat- j laded of possibility of flight in heav ier-than-air machines and spent years ?T working on the problem. In 1896 he flew a steam driven model a distance of about a mile over the Potomac riv er. * * *,* *. *!* * * * SOUTH WILLIAMSTON ?I ******* * * * * * * Th First Regiment Band of the WU 1 tamaton mills was awarded the con-j tract to furnish music for the Con- j federate reuidn at Anderson last Thursday afteroon.

The Goversaient Figures it Oat as the Largest an Record. j The Bureau of Statistics.. United 'Stetes D?pannent of Agriculture, has made a revision of ita preliminary estimates of cotton aereas* ,aat year (1913) based Upon re sui u of a spe cial investigation and Jte report of the Bureau of the Census pf the quantity Pf cotton ginned In the past season. This revision indicates that the area planted in cotton (in cultivation at the ' end of June, 1913) was Vi about 37.458,080 acres, instead of 30,622.000 aa. reported last July. The revised es timate will be used by the Bureau of Statietics Ss a hists in making its cotton acreage es tina tea this year. The yield of cotton an- acre in 1913 ls estimated st 182 pounds, as com ?pared with 190.9 pounds in 1912, 07." .pounds in 1911, 179.7 pounds In 9IO, and 154.3 pbunds in 1909. The area picked in 1918 was about 37, 089,000 acres. The Government's revised estimate making the acreage planted in Cotton as of July 1. 1913, 31,459.000 acres-, or l;836;C0O'acres more than esti mated at the time, did not come as a great surprit* to Ute trade.

(First or all, let lt be understood that I-'am making the race, on my own individual merits, abd not on tho demerits or abort comings of any one elae, and that I stand for fair play. It is needless to** make top many promises, but I can give the'people this- assurance, that if elected. I*, wilt <givo my time to the duties of 'the of fice and will personally look after the various departments and will <ilve to every part "of the city a square deal.' It-must be remembered that along with thc mayor, tbere will -bo elected a full council of six alder men who will have their share of re sponsibility, and ! dc- net doubt that - there will be selected men who will measure up to their places, lt is all important that there shall be co-op oratkYu in the Interests of the com munity.

On the other hand, ir he hold:? himself responsible to the people and not the council that elected him, he la liable to be fired. As tor the franchise granted by tho present council to Ute Public Utilities corporation, lt would apepar. to bo a dead issue now.
