M ArrJiittft, At'Ctmipunictl by Mech- (
fhikicinn, Makra His "First Visit tO
f
Ra^lnnd" in Spectacular Man?
or.?Course Unknown. t
It has been reserved for an Amer- s
lean citizen to perform one of the r
most daring feats In the history of <
aviation. John B. Moissnnt, of Chic- (
ego. llew across the English Channel ,
from Calais, France, to Tilmanstone.
England, Wednesday with a passenger,
and by this achievement far sur- ^
passed the feat of Rleriot, Delesseps
and the unfortunate English avia- }
tor. Rolls, who afterwards met his
death at Bournemouth.
The two man flight from France
to England was the more astonishing (
for it was only a month ago that .
Moissant learned to fly, and he made
so few flights and was so little know
among air men that even his nationality
was not disclosed. He was
reputed to be a Spaniard, and it was
only when he landed in England that
1* was revealed that he is a young ^
Chicago architect.
To make the feat still more surprising.,
Moissant was totally ignorant
of tbo course. He had never been i
In England, and was obliged to rely (
entirely on the compass.
The Channel flight was an incl- j
dent ia the aerial voyage from Paris
to London. Moissant left Isey ,
yesterday with Hubert Latham and
reached Amiens in two hours. La- (
tham's aeroplane was wrecked and ,
this morning Moissant, leaving ,
Amiens at an early hour, headed for .
Caliaa. His mechanician. Albert Fi",ex.
who had accompanied him
across the country, took his place in
the machine when the motor was set
In motion for the dush across the
Chan sel.
MoisBant, cared nothing for the
warnings of the people and even the
fact that there was no torpedo boat
ia his wake, but only a slow moving
tag, did not deter him. He made
the trip in 37 minutes. When he descended
his eyes were bloodsho.., and
greatly Inflamed, as a result of the
heavy rain storm, which they drove
into on approaching the English
coast.
An average height of between 300
and 4M feet was maintained over
the water. The aviator expected to
land at Dover, but was forced north
by the wind and made the coast near
Deal. The cold was intense and both
Moissant and his mechanician were
benumbed. Moissant seemed to take
his monumental feat as though it
were a daily occurence.
When he revived sufficiently he
langtied and said to an interviewer:
"This Is my first visit to England."
Describing his accomplishment he
said:
"This Is only my sixth flight In
an aeroplane. I did not know the
way from Paris to Calias when I
started. And 1 do not know the way
to Ixindon. 1 shall have to rely on
the compass. 1 would like to land
in Hyde Park if I can find it.
"My mechanician, who weighs 182
pounds, has never been In an aeroplane
before this, and did not know
where I was taking him when we
left Paris.' '
Moifeuant is 35 years old. He first
visited Paris some months ago and
became interested in the study of
aviation. Ho iiad two machines
built after his own designs and found
the subject so fashionable that he
determined to become a practicable
air man. His flight to-day was made
on a Bleriot machine, which weighs
about 800 pounds.
Filenx, the mechanician, a burly
Parisian clad in overalls, did not
know where he was going when
started, but says that lie felt. Quite
at home, as he had the greatest confidence
in the pilot.

AN OBJECT LESSON
rHAT EVERY COTTON FARMER
h
SHOULD HAVE SEEN.
"h? Difference Retween the Packing
of Cotton in the United States and
Other Couutrles.
In a recent issue the Progressive ^
""armer and Southern Farm Gazette
mblished two picture that should
lave been seen bv everv cotton farm
r tn the United States. One of the
lictures showed the ragged and tattled
coudition of American cotton
is put on the markets of the world
nd the other showed the neat coniition
in which cotton from other
ountries is put on the market.
Nearly all the bagging had come off
>f t.he American cotton while the
tfher cotton was completely covered
vith bagging and presented a neat
lice appearance.. On the other
land the American cotton looked
r,gged, dirty and badly packed. They
vere striking pictures.
In commenting on them the edi:or
said these two photographs made
n Liverpool strikingly illustrate the
mreless and disgraceful manner in
vhich our Southern cotton reaches
!4ie English market (the writer has
seen our rugged Southern hales hauled
over Liverpool in just this plight)
3& compared with the thoroughly
r.eat and satisfactory packing of cotton
from other parts of the world,
not only Egypt, but India and South
Africa as well. The unsightly and
ragged condition of our cotton
muses the English manufacturer to
prefer Asiatic or African cotton if
he can get it.
Fight now is the time for our
Southern farmers to decide that our
1910 cotton crop shall he better baled
than any other crop has ever
l-een. King Cotton is no longer poor,
he's rich, and he deserves better
slothing than the ragged garments
if humiliation he wore in 1893-4-56.
(Moreover, it will na.v. A huver
lii always willing to give a higher <
pice for ,any product on earth when (
it looks thoroughly neat and attractive.
Consciously or unconsciously,
intentionally or unintentially, the
rctton buyer will pay more for the
well-bound bale, and we fully believe
that the farmer will get from
11.50 to $5 for every $1 he spends
for better baling.
For one thing, then brother farmsis,
let's decide on better baling for
cur 1910 cotton. And then let's decide
to get this tare matter settled.
11 will be remembered that this paper
last fall carried on a vigorous
crusade for 6 per cent, tare on cotIcn.
This agitation was felt for good
iu many sections, but from one or
two communities we have had complaints
that buyers refused to buy
rotton with 6 per cent, tare, and
these correspondents seem inclined
to blame us for the trouble.
These correspondents are answer- <
ed in this week's Progressive -Farm
ei and Gazette in which we point out <
two things: First, the C per cent,
tare is right, but if a farmer is willing
to be run over by buyers who 1
object to it, if he is not willing, to
stand up for his rights, why, it is :
not our fault; we cannot help it.
Second, whenever buyers assume
such an attitude, however, the farmers
should organize through the
Farmers Union or otherwise for self
protection and enforce their rights.
And It is none to early to begin this
work if results are to be had this
season.

Lower Taxes Before
BOARD OF ASSESSORS
"he Officials Say the Corporations
Are lianl Pushed and Must Got
Relief or Go Into the Hands of a
Receiver as a Means of Saving
the Property.
According to the officials who ap,eared
before the State Board of
Assessors in Columbia on Tuesday,
lie railroads are fearing a crisis.
Especially was this condition in the
:outh emphasized by Henry Miller,
issistant to the first vice-president
>1 the Southern. That wages are inleasing
and rates are being coninually
lowered is the reason given
> the railway men for the condition
>f the railways.
Basing his argument upon the
itate of affairs and upon the
ecent action of the State board of
qualization in lowering the assessoents
on cotton mills and cottonseed
: 11 mills and like property, Mr. Mller
asked that the railroads be asieesed
oft the same basis as the texie8,
namely, 50 per cent, of the acual
valuation as arrived at by the
n>ard.
As to the Southern railway, Mr.
diller pointed out that in 1 907 the
issessments were placed at 60 per
ent. "No property outside of colon
mills and banks are assessed as
lighly as railroads," said Mr. Miler.
Mr. Miller explained how valuaion
makes the taxable value $19.142,000.
He thought the $31,000,?00
excessive and explained that the
liethod of arriving at the value was
vrong.
Mr, Miller explained in detail the
ending of property and answered
questions put to him by Attorney
*)onoro 1 T vnn whn lo n ?e
he board. The total encumbrance
A the Southern is about $110.OOu
)er mile, Mr. Miller said. The Souhern,
as explained by Mr. Miller,
vas formed out of the receivership
;f several lines, hence it carries
nds that are not to be placed on
iny of the seperate property of the
iouthern railway proper. The Souhern
owns half interest in Uie Mon?U
system, and whole or part of oth.i
lines. It owns $96,000,000 in se urities
of other lines. Figured with
lie reduction of this amount on its
und the Southern per mile is vallod
at $27,000.
The Southern, Mr. Miller, said, has
'een increased 80 per cent, in taxes
n this state in the last seven years.
Vet its earning have increased only
>0 per cent, in that period.
Mr. Lyon?Hoi's not the Southern
:arn more In proportion to its mileage
in South Carolina than in any
?ther State?
Mr. Miller?No.
Mr. Lyon?Does not more money
rained in this State on the road go
towards improvements in other
States than such money from other
States comes to this State.
t.Mr. Miller No; Improvements are
made on seperate bonds, not on earnings.
"We have greater profits in Virginia,
North Carolina and Tenii"S
Bee," added Mr. Miller, "and less
uead mileage there."
Asked about Improvements In other
States, Mr. Miller stated that trafic
and tonnage demanded the same.
On questioning as to whether the
t-outheru is worth more now than
ip 1907, Mr. Miller said that there
was rumor of a receivership in that
>ear but said he would not like to
answer that question as an official
cl the road. "Not materially better
now," Mr. Miller's final reply to that
question, although the latter exj
lalned the condition of the road
with regard to high wages and cost
uf operation.
"We are met on one side with tne
absolute demand for increased comi.ensation,'
said Mr. Miller. He exi
lained that to the pay roll of the
load since January 1 there has been
added $1,7"?0.000 as increase pay to
trainmen, enginemen and clerks,
none of whom receive above $70 per
month, the others not being raised.
Mr. Miller told of the conference
it Washington between the road and
the employes resulting in this raise
"u wages. Then the operators ap
pealed and arbitration was necessary.
"Kverything we buy has increased
in price." said Mr. Miller, "anywhere
from 1 f> to 100 per cent. Our
rnly hope Is increase in rates which
has been withheld. At no time in
the history or railroading have we
aced such a crisis as today. Kxponses
must bo reduced or rates
must go up."
'Mr. Miller compared the co??t o!
iridge timber of a few years age
with the cost now. What soli f <r n
little over $9 per thousand is now
*23; cross ties ha?e increased from
28 to 37 cents; rails from $17 tc
*29; conl from 85 cents to $1.87.
labor from $1,600 per mile in 190T
o $3,189 last year.
Mr. Miller stated that In 1884 ih?
a\erago rate por mile per ton wai
i 1-4 cents, that in 1900 an eminent
ruthority pointed out that the rate
had been reduced to 2 1-8 cents.
Now the rate In 3-4 of one cent per
mile per ton on the average. In
the year 1900 it was said that the j
tnte then was lower than in any
ccuntry in the world yet today the
rate is just ubout two thirds of
w hat it was ten years ago.
The cause for this, Mr. Miller
po'nted out, are the interstate commerce
commission, the vurious railload
commissions and competition,
and ofttimes the desire to build up
some industry.
As to taxes in 1902 the Southern
was taxed $195,000 in this State.
In 1909 the amount was $352,000,
an increase of 80 per cent, in seven
>ears. The earnings increased 20
;er cent, in that time. Mr. Miller
contended that if the 00 per cent,
basis were allowed to stand the
t ?xes for 1910 would be $*275,000.
t takes 12 per cent, of net earnings
to pay the taxes, and 5 per cent, of
gross earnings.
Mr. Miller said if present condit.ons
are not relieved receivership
would be the goal of the railroads.
"If 1 could so cast my vote 1
would vote that the government take
oxer the railroads. It wouid be a
horrible state of affairs, for the government
could not run the big systems.
"The treat of rates hu6 been downv
ard. In South Carolina the fertiliser
rates were recently reduced. The
tiouble is that the people are always
jumping on the roads. They
imagine that they are hurting some
Northern capitalists when, as a nuttei
of fact, millions from the Soutb
rn men are involved."
Mr. Miller pointed out that the
intes should be figured always on
what will give a fair return on the
money invested on the amount of
business done. The tax man says
what is the value.
Mr. Miller asked that 50 per cent,
should be adopted by the beard,
making the Southern's assessment
about $13,500 per mile or 8 per cent
ot earnings, which would make about
$17,000.
Continuing his argument. Mr. Miller
compared railroad assessments
with other class of property. "It is
noi'fpntl v lnHiorinno "
1'ok at Charleston county and see
the personal property assessments."
lie pointed out otJier inequalities.
Other oflicials who were In the
r'ty for the meeting agreed with Mr.
Miller that the railroads are getting
the short end of the wage proposition
and that the rates must he in<
teased or they will be in bad condition.
C. J. Joseph, tax agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, argued that the
railroads have been increased more
Uian any other class of property and
gave figures to substantiate the
statement. The railroads have been
increased 31 per cent.; the real and
personal property 5 1-3 per cent, in
the last few years.
The Atlantic Coast Line asked
for an assessment of .~>U per cent,
on $11,909,000.
Albert Anderson, superintendent
(. ' the Charleston & Western Carolina
railroad, argued that material
has increased in price, wages are
l.igher and the road is facing a serious
condition. His road has not
paid anything yet to the stockholders.
but all the money is being put
into improvements.
The improvement question prociphated

matter of whether a road's value
is thereby increased.
These representatives were the only

It was understood by the board
that the fact that the State board of

participated in the general discussion.

TO MAKE TUFTED CUSHION*
Tou will like tufted cushions modi
better than lbs ordinary kind tor
your backless chair, or the little
Russian chair In the hall. While <
there are countless upholstering materials,
the cretonnes are very nice
for such cushions and they are clean
looking too. Select a good grade of
cretonne and make the cushion wider
than the chair seat, because tutting
will take up material in length
and width. Of course the side piece
is one long strip, usually about four
inches wide and it can be made with
a welt edge by first stitching the side
piece to the top portion, allowing at
least one inch for a seam. After the
seam is made place a heavy cord
around the edge and whip it in place;
turn the goods and sew closely along
the edge of the cord and you will

one can get jute or moss at an upholsterer's
for the purpose. The lower
portion can be sewed on three
sides of the cushion, and this sewing

Place the central button first. Hub
the needle from the bottom of tbo

Cleanliness cannot be obtained by
using an old. water soaked toothbrush,
nor one which is used ?jonstantly.
One should always keep two
fairly stiff toothbrushes, and when
one has been used for two days it
should be washed in carbolic acid
water and laid in the sun and air
for two days. Carbolic acid water >e
made liy putting two drops of carbolic

As soon as your toothbrush becomes*
discolored on the back it should b?
thrown away.

it in the water until the color Is restored,
which will be about one-half
hour, perhaps. As I his acid will rot
goods, the garment should be thoroughly
rinsed to remove every particle
of acid. An iron rust on blue,
material can be removed with this
acid, making no change in the gooda.
Polishing the Stove.
An easy way Jo keep (ho stove
