This is obviously an extraordin- X J srily low percentage. What the average reader forgets, when he sees in the newspapers from time to time dispatches announcing the death of aviators in training, is the great number of men who are making flights at the training camps every day. We do not know what that number is at present, but up to May 125 last the United States army had Irn! >m<l anil trr,, ,1,, ? ')*> > tors. The deaths ui> to that time were 14 2.

Cfl// 1 (Charleston News and Courier.) The Lancaster News must be ed- edited by the seventh son of a seventh son. Last Friday, August 16, the day President Wilson's letter HO against Blease was first printed, it said: at Oi "President Wilson has addressed a letter to Thomas H. Daniel, Washington correspondent of tho Spartanburg Herald, which gives his views on the South Carolina senate- TU rial race. This letter will not likely 1111 be printed in the Charleston American." I The News up to this writing has proved a true prophet. It will be a week tomorrow since Mr. Wilson's letter was made public in Washington. The Rlease organ has yet to print it. It has referred to it, hut only to garble its meaning.
