WARD CIRCLES FORTS. Baring Airman Flies From Aerodrome to SullIvan's Island-Wins $5, 000 Prize. 0harleston News and Courier, 7th. Flying with an engine which had failed to work the previous day, James J. Ward, the 18-year-old aviator of the furtiss team, yesterday broke a world's record for low-pbwered aero planes and sustained his reputation for daring by flying from the Charles ton Aviation field to the navy yard, from there over the city, across the Gooper and Wando rivers to the op posite side, over Mount Pleasant, then, describing an aerial circle, passing nearly over Castle Pinckney and Fort Sumter, winging in a great sweep over ih'e Atlantic ocean to the Isle of Palms, and from there down the beach, effecting -a perfect landing directly in front of Fort Moultrie. After a wait of six minutes on the island.' he re turned in a direct line to the afiation -4ed, arriving there at 5.17, having; been gon# 54 ripnutes, and being 48 4minutes ix actii fighf. 37 115 f0at le won not only a Piade am6ng the most daring of living aviators but also the $5,000 cash prize offered by local merchants. It was stated last night by Mr James Sottile, the promoter of the meet, that with the consent of Mr. 0. G. W. Mar jenboff, representing the merchants of tering the award, the prize of $5,000 had been given to Ward in recognition Of the splendid fight that he had made in a lowv-powered machine. It was ob -iously impossible for Ward in his little aeroplane to break the world's tatitude record made by far larger machines, although he did actually break the record for low-powered planes. WARD'S FEAT IN AIM. light Over Carolina Forts Ex6ites Interest.-War Department Offi cials Talk. .WasbingtDn, Jan. 7.-The daring fight of Aviator James J. Ward, cir cling the powerful fortifications' of Charleston harbor and lan'ding in the very front of historic Fort Moultrie, h as created widespread interest in 'war department circles here, especially among the aeroplane and airship ex perts of the signal service corps, who -look after that branch of the service and are eagerly interested in every thing aviatory, especially the flying of these new machine birds over fortress es considered hitherto impregnable. *These experts look upon Ward's feat as conclusively proving the efficiency of the aeroplane, not only to act as a scout in spying out the inner condiition and movements of an enemy, but as also conclusive evidenece that these "-new aerial war machines can be used for the destruction of the most power ful rortified positions. Marks an Epoch. "This flight of Wai-d's around two of the best constructed forts on our coast," said a signal service official, who has devoted his attention to aero ~planes, to the Washi.ngton correspond ent of the News and Courier, "marks an era in the development of future military operations. It adds a proof conclusiv*ly, in my judgment, that this1 new engine of .warfare will totally revolutionize all future tactics and ' strategy as effectually as the introduc tion' of firearms -revolutionized the -tactics and methods of warfare in the old days of sword and spear. What can a host of armed men do against a man like Ward, 500 feet in the air above them, loaded with a score of explosiv'e bombs, ready to drop4in their midst? Brav'ery can not avail when there is nothing to be brave against. .- ew War Factor. "It looks like the 'boasted secret for *tifications and disappearing guns of the coast defences of the United States, as well as those of the sea coast nations of Europe, will have to reckon very heavily with this new fac tor in time of war. Even such power ful fortresses as Moultrie and Sumter 'would be like clay in the hands of the1 potter when assailed from abov@ by half a dozen aeroplanes, bearing st,ruc ture-wr.ecking bombs to be dropped at the leisurely will of the aviators." "Ward's feat at Charleston and the forts in the vicinity, powerful as they are, demonstrates conclusively that the aeroplane .will 'be a powerful fac -Aor in all future wars not only in the - scouting service, but as an energetic and effective destructive agent," said Major George 0. Squier, of the signal service, who is regarded as the most 'up-to-date expert of the war depart ment on matters of aerial warfare. Another Dimension. "Heretofore war has been conducted' only in two dimensions. Fighting forces could move only along the sur face of the earth, able neither to oper-; ate to any effectual extent below or above it, but Ward's feat conclusive-ly ~proves that 'the third dimension, the! air, with its all destxtying airships and aerr"-" -. ' he reckonM nightily. "What would Forts Sumter and Noultrie have been worth had Ward carried with him a few hundred pounds of high explosives and from a height of a few hundred feet dropped them in the beart of the fortifications? The very magazines, filled with am munition, would become a part of the lestroying force under the impact of in explosive dropped from an'~ aero plane and add to the general destruc tion. "The very essence of strategy is sur prise," continued Major Squier, "a&, there ne-.,er were such opportunities )ffered to a constructive general to wchieve great and complete victories than those offered by such feats as Ward's. An army can not move over ,W'11le milps a day. An aviator like Ward, In his swift aeroplane, loaded ith destruction, can move that far in ess than twice thlat many minutes. In the Future? "Conceive the utter surprise of an memy who looks up and sees half a lozen Wards hovering over them with m2ough higk explosives' on board to low them into perdition. Yet it is uch feats as Ward's, demonstrating he utter powerlessness oz the two limensioned force against this third terial dimension-that will make for yeace and tend to produce results with he minimum loss. The consumma ion of military art consists in man >eUvering the enemy5nto positions bat,are wholly untenible. "The new war craft will redound to .he benefit of our nation, because here is small probability of our mak ng war upon any other country. If ,e are attacked the areoplane will, I eel assured, render a powerful de .ence against all invaders." P. H. McGowan. EUNTLEY PAYS DEATH PENALTY. Rayer of Jailer Cook Hanged at Cam den on Friday.

Iake Care of Those Who Are Hilled or ~Ijured in Discharging Duty, Says DeGraw. Washington, D). 0., Jan. 7.-Comipen sation for rural free delivery carriers who are killed or injure'd in the dis yarge of their duty, is urged in the mnual report of Fourth Assistant Postihaster General P. V. DeGraw. The law now authorizes the post Easter general to pay the sum of $2, )00 to "the legal representatives of a railway postal clerk or substitute rail ay postal clerk who shall 'be killed while on duty, or who, being injured while on duty shall die within one year thereafter as the r suit of such injury," and also authorizes the -pay cent to such ein loye of his salary ror the time he is suffering from in uries so received not to exceed one y'ear. An act .passed May 30, 1908, also contemplates aid to 2ertain artisans and laborers employed by the gov inent. Mr.. DeG-aw says:a "I am firm in the belief that the govenment should adop,t measures to extend the benefit of the laiw mention ed to rural carriers and all other em ployes of the postal service, and earn estly recommend the enaetment of alp propriate legis.lation in that regard. In the case of rural delivery car riers, as Mr. DeeGraw shows, their compensation is not sufficient to en bles them to la,y aside something to t.ide them over periods ' of enforced idleness and illness caused by injuries. f they are injured their pay 'ceases immediately. ALBERT NANCE, DEMIOCEAT. Governor Ansel's Colored MUessenger Replica in Bronze~ of Sculptor Ruckstuhl. Columbia Record. One of the executive office family who will pass out with Governor An sel is Albert Nance, the colored mes senger to the governor. Nargce is a Newberry county Democrat, of many years' membership in the psrty. He is a familiar figure around the State house, having served a number of ses sions as porter to the senate and as porter to the judiciary committee of the house of representatix es. An other well known colored Democrat who comes 'to Columbia each year up on the convening of the general as sembly is Wes Oliphant, for about 16 years porter to the judiciary commit tee. Last year the committee gave him a handsome suit of clothes as a reward for faithful service. Nance will likely be a senate at tacbe again this year. His resem --.-"..'r-," Mr. F. W. Ruchstuhl, is remarkable. He might be described as the sculptor's replica in bronze. Master Harold as "Buster." Again we are to have "Buster Brown," as the management of the opera house announces the little fun maker and his bevy of attendant girls for January 31. This year Master Harold, who plays "Buster," has fully dem-nnstratod that he is the right little comitiue in the exact spot, for he is so immersed in and imbued with the spirit ,of Mr. Outcault's character that those who have seen him declare that he is not playing a part, that he is the typi cal "Buster" himself. New and ela borate scenery and costumes together with all new music grace the produc tion this season. GERMS IN HER SYSTEM. Every Woman Should Read this Ad. Tice and the Generous Offer That Goes With It. The number 6f diseases peculiar to!; women is such that we believe this! pace would hardly contain a mere mention of their nmes, and it is a fact that most of these diseases are of a catarrhai nature. A woman can not be well if there is a trace of cat arrh in her system. Some women think there is no help for them. We positively declare this to be a 'nistaken idea. Ve are so sure 'of that 'that we offer to supply medicine absolutely free of all cost in every instance where it fais to give satisfaction, or does not substantiate our claims. With this understanding, no woman should hesitate to believe our honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put*our claims to a test. There is only one way to overcome catarrh. That way Is through the blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies for years without getting more than- temporary relief at best. Catarrh in general is a diseased condition of the system that shows locally most frequently in dis charges from mucous membranes. Lo cal treatment should be assisted by internal treatment fior the general dis eased corndition if a complete cure is to be reached. That internal -treat ment should be scientifically devised and faithfully administered. Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically prepared from the prescription of Nan eminent physician who for thirty years made catarrI his specialty. This rem edy is admirably adapted to the treat ment of the catarrhal ailments of wo men. It purifies and enriches the blood, tends to stop mucous discharges, aids in removing impurities from the system, soothes, heals and strength ens the mucous tissues, and brings about a feeling of health and strength. We want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone on 'our guarantee.' If you are not benefited, or for any reason not satis fed, simply tell us and we will band back your money. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Remember, you can obtain Rexall Remedies only at Gilder & Weeks, The Rexall Store. Columbia, Newberry '& Laurens B. B.
