WRIGHT SPEEDS IN AIR. Flies Forty Miles an Hour at Fort Meyer.-Makes Successful Trial. Washington. July 12.-Orville Wright this -evening made a very suc cessful flight in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Meyer, Va., remaining in the air five minutes and 30 seconds, dur ing which time the machine attained the exceptional speed of 40 miles an dour and circled the parade grounds half a dozen times, a total distance of about three and a half miles. A strong breeze prevented the Wright brothers from starting the aeroplane after it was brought from the shed. While waiting for favorable conditions, they examined the ma chine carefully and chatted with prominent persons who had gone ov er from Washington to witness the trial. With Count von Bernstroff, German ambassador, the Wrights talked at length, explaining the workings of the machine. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter of ex-President Roosevelt, enthusiastically examined the aero plane, as did Secretary of the Navy Meyer. When the signal finally was given to start, the machine shot forward and mounted gracefully into the light breeze. Orville Wright guided the 1yer to the lower end of the large parade ground and circled around to ward the starting pont, gradually ri-. ing higher from the ground. Six Times Around. Six times he rounded the course, the machire attaining an average speed of about 40 miles an hour, ac cording to Mr. Wright. After passing the crowd the sixth time, the aviator decided to make a landing because the motor occasional lv was missing a spark. He descend ed easily, and lighted with no appar ent jar, the machine sliding smoothly over the ground until it came to a stop at a point near the shed. Both of the Wrights expressed themselves as pleased with the per f6rmanee. They intend to make only short flights until the new bearings ihave become worn down and the propelling motor is working perfectly. When these things have adjusted themselves to the satisfaction of the aviators they intend to attack their main task, to which these minor, flights are preliminary-that of sat isfying the conditions prescribed by the government for the official test. * ENSIGN AITKEN DEAD. Killed by Gas Explosion on the North Carolina.-Crusier in Harbor i i of Naples. Washington, July 12.-Ensign THugh K. Aiken of the navy died aboard the armored cruiser . North Caxrolina at Naples last night from in - juries resulting from a coal gas ex .plosion. He was born in New Or leans in 1884 and entered the ~naval service in 1902. Peter Mullan of Brooklyn, N. Y., also was injuared slightly at the time of the explosion. Ensign Aiken was one of the ebst known members of the bootball team while a.t the naval academy. Naples, July 12.-Later develop ments in the explosion on board the North Carolina indicate that the ae eident was of graver nature than t.he officers of the .eruiser cared to ad mit. Corporal Maloney also was badl? ~njured in the explosion. it being stated that he was completely blind ed in both eyes. Several other men were wounded, but less seriously. An enormous quantity~ of gas had been generated by the 300 tons of coal in the hold and naval officers are at a loss to know 'why Aiken permit ted a lighted candle to be taken into sacih a dangerous place. Immediately .after the explosion an alarm was giv en and the commanding officers with a force of men sta.mped out the fire, whieh otherwise might have commun ieated to the powder magazine. Aiken 'was terribly burned about the body and head. The North Carolina being anchored at the end, of Santa Lucia harbor, half a mile from the docks. the explosion passed unnoticed. Ensign Aiken was a grandson of, the late Col. Hugh Kerr Aiken. who was killed in battle while serving the Confederacy. He was therefore near Ilv related to the large and influential Aiken family of South Carolina, Col. Hugh K. Aiken having been a brother ~of the late Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken and an uncle of the present Congressman Wyatt Aiken. In th'e early part of this year Ensign Aiken was on duty for a short time on one of thle BtoredI boats at the (Charleston naVy vard(.

Sault Ste Marie. Mich.,- Julv 12. Three minutes after the steel steam ers Isaac M. Scott and John B. Cowle had collided in Lake Superior early this morning,-about a mile and a half off White Fish Point lighthouse, the Cowle ha:d gone to the bottom in 50 fathoms of water, carrying with it 14 members of her crew. The Scott. al though badly damaged. put back to this pmrt. where she arrived this after noon with part of the crew of the Cowle. A heavy fog was responsible for the collision. The Scott, a new boat, was on her maiden trip to the head of the lakes. The Cowle was down bound with 8,000 tons of iron ore in the hold. When the crash came, 15 feet of the bow of the Scott penetrated the side of the Cowle. In three minutes the Cowle had settled to the bottom of Lake Superior. A line was thrown from the deck of the Scott to the forward deck of the Cowle avd three members of the crew escaped by this means. The rest of the crew who were sav ed jumped into the lake, some without life preservers and were picked up by th,e Scott and the steamer Good year, which was a short distance as tern of the Scott when the collision occurred. Capt. Rogers of the Cowle was one of those who were rescued. Until Capt. Rogers returns here it is impossible to secure the names of the men who perished with the Cowle. The Scott received serious injuries in the collision which would probably have sent her to the bottom also if she had been loaded. The John B. Cowle was 445 feet long, 50 feet beam, and owned by the Cowle Traction company of Cleve land. PEOPLE WILL VOTE AS TO INCOME TAX House Passes the Senate Joint Reso lution.-The Vote Almost Unan imous. Washin~gton, July 12.--It is now up to the legislatures of the several States to say whether there shall be an incomne tax amendment to the con stitution. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than the n?eeessary two thirds, the house today passed the senate joint ,resolution providing for the submission of the question to the States. The negative votes were all ast by republicans. No amendment having been made to the resolution, it now goes to the president for his signature. Practically four hours were con sumed in debating the proposition and this afforded many members, mostly on the democratic si'de, an opportun ity to air their views. Chairman Payne of the committee on ways and means voiced the sentiment that such a tax would make "a nation of liars'' although he said it was well that such power should be given congress, es pecially in times of war. The burden of the democratic speeches was that it was simply a case of stealing democratic thunder, although some of the remarks on that side incidentally touched upon the tariff and the corporation tax, with no little amount of castigation of the republicans for failing, as was alleg ed, to keep party pledges. C., C. & 0. AGGRESSIVE. Road Inaugurates Policy of Build ing up Teritoiry Through Which It Passes. Columbia, July 1.-The spirit of aggressiveness that characterizes the management of theCarolina, Clinch field and Ohio railroad is manifested in the announcement at this early stage of the road 's policy foi- the up building of the territory through which the lin-e will pass in South Car olina. This policy is outlined in a letter received by Commissioner W~at son from Mr. R. F. Brewer. the in dustrial azent of the Carolina. Clinch field andl Ohio. in which he asks to be furnished with complete and detailed information as to agriculture in the western part of the State. soil sur ves, etc. In this litter Mr. Brewer a 'Our line at present traverses Chero.. kee and Spartanburg counties.

The number of diseases peculiar to woman is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere mention of their names, and it is a fact that most of these diseases are of a catarrhal nature. A woman can -not be well if there is a trace of the catarrhal germs in her system. Some women think there is no help for them. We positively declare this to be a mistaken idea. We are so sure of this that we offer to supply medi cine absolutely free of all cost in every inst-ance where it fails to give entire satisfaction or does not sub stantiate our claims. With zhis un derstanding, no woman should hesi tate to believe our honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put our ejainis to a test. There is only one way to .nre Ca tarrh. That way is through the blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies f.- years without getting more than temporary relief at best. Catarrh is caused by a germ. That germ is ca.rried by the blood to the innermost part of the system until the mucous membrane is broken, irritation and inflammationi produced, .and a flow of mucous re sults, and you can probably realize how silly it is to attempt to cure such an ailment unless you take a medicine that follows the same course as the germ or parasite. Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically prepared from the prescription of an eminent physician who for tirty years made his specialty Catarrh, and with this medicine he averaged 98 per cent. of cures where it was employed. No other remedy is so properly de signed for the ailments of woman. It will purify an'd enrich the blood, stop mucous discharge, destrey 'ill germ matter. remove all impnrities from' the system, soothe, hea] and strength en the mucous tissue.s, and bring about a good feeling of health anid strength. We want you to try Rexall .Mucu Tone on our guarant."e. If you are not benefitted, or for any reason not satisfied, simply tell as and we will hand back your money. E~exnll Mn u-Tone comes in t.va sirs,~ 504. and $1.00. Gildetg & Weeks, Tfhe Fight Drug Store, Newberry, S. I. Announcement!
