-mii-H1.?\..M ; ^1 -.V? ?Hit Giant M o no plane mtcbs Record F'inht Vancouver, lb <C.# June 4 - The Australian-bound plane Southern Cross landed at Suva at 2:2*i o'clock this (Tuesday) afternoon (<3:2 .'4 p. m , V?ncouvcr time) according to word received here tonight. In arriving, Captain Charles Kings-: ford-Smith and three companion* put behind thein r?,r?"iH miles of their overseas (light of 7,800 miles from Oaklund, California to Sydney, Australia, but they lost 20 hours in crossing the International time Meridian The courage of Klngsford-Smith, the commander, of Charles IJIrn, fellow pilot, Australians, and Navigator Harry W Lyon, and Jumes Warner, radio operator, Americana, triumphed over storm clouds through which they drove their stout plane. A It rose eupei ?or to the wmW , of thousands cf mile* of m*.???wi/?;r a?Mend to aching suspense of hours of uncertainty of their position. v Before them stretches another *? long overseas Might?'1,700 miles to ? Brisbsne, Australia ?but with the * nchlavement of the 2,600 mile *ir passage from California to Hawaii 1 and Uie overseas Might ended today, ' longest ever made above wavvs, the ' i fliers tonight were supremely con- * ttdent of success. The flight of 3,100 miles from 4 Hawaii required 35 hours and 37 4 ! minutes, * ( The Miers were greeted by thousands of representatives of the na- 4 lions of the world, gathered in this 1 far outpost of the south seas to do < honor in common to human intrepedity i exemplified in the performance of 1 the Australian-American crew. The British colonial government of Fiji had lent its aid in preparation for the welcome to the Miers. Albert I'urk had been made into an aviation I Meld of 460 yards length, trees being sacrificed to the axe, wires and other obstructions removed. Upon a park lawn like a bowling green the huge bird of the air came to rest after bresting the thousands of miles of stormy winds that fought against it. With the islands in sight there was a period of waiting for the word that was to inform the world of the triumphant landing at Suva. This was due to the radio antenriu being reeled in to permit the landing to bo made. This act was made known in the last message from Jumes Warner, radio operator, being cutting communication. That message contained a friendly greeting to fellow operators. It said: "Southern Cross is in sight of Fiji islands now. Seventy Threw (best regards) to all operators. 1 guess I'll reel in now, 30." William Lee Corbitt, only 14 years old, committed suicide by sending a load of buckshot through his heart at the home of his foster parents in Johnson county, North Carolina. Ho was a fine boy, bright at school and praised by all who knew him. Ho was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Corbitt at the age of seven years and had been brooding about his real parentage. E. Boyce Funs was found dead in a field of his son Howard, at Knox Station, Chester county, and heart t disease was found to be the cause of his death. He was 74 years old. i I Kiui.iti? U ?

A noise endlessly repeated ia un- * loticed after a time, but I confess to v ,| 1.., ?t.? a?Okst* ;>e?ng <innoycu oy <-r?v abid "wets." They get under my ( ikiu.

Hut J I don't grant any man the right U> get drunk and become a nuiaance oi J it menace. And I resent bei'ng listed with the "hypoqrites." That ia a favorite epithet of those who reaent Prohibition. They divide Americans Into three classes: those who waut liquor back and therefore are honest, intelligent and civilised; those who hate the liquor traffic, and therefore are narrow-minded arid dangerous fanatics; and those who see no harm in an occasional drink and yet think it expedient to keep liquor from weak and foolish men who use it unwisely and do themselves and the world much damage. Men of this third class may take an occasional drink and yet they vote for Prohibition. Therefore they are "hypocrites." To this class 1 belong. And I resent the epithet, for it isn't true. It is used falsely in malice, or else it is used by men who haven' the ability to be reasonable. A man who has any sense of personal responsibility for public welfare?and no man is entitled to citizenship who hasn't?must in many instances place the public good above his own trivial pleasures. I have a legal right to keep a dog that is noisy at night. But I am a poor citizen if I suit my ovfti pleasure at the expense of my neighbor's sleep. My neighbor has a moral and legal right to keep liquor in his home and take an occasional drink; but if h<habitually gets drunk, and drives his car recklessly so us to endanger the children of the community, it is my duty and the duty of my neighbors to suppress him by such means as may be necessary. Those who speak und write against Prohibition are, almost without exception, high-class men. They are not drunkards. If all wets were like thesfe, there would be no case against liquor. But I have known men to be killed by liquor. One of them was my good friend. I have seen many men made foolish and vicious and dangerous by liquor. And since men of this ty|>o are very numerous?sinctu* the harm liquor can do is infinitely greater than the good it can do?I can't for the life of me see how any man of common sen-tie can defend its unlimited manufacture and unrestricted sale. If intoxicants could be sold only to sane and strong men and kept from boys and the kind of men whos-life it ruins, that would be an ideal arrangement. But I see no way to do it. If liquor is sold, weaklings will buy it. And if weaklings can buy it, they will be ruined by it. The strong must protect the weak. The sane must protect the foolish. The few must sacrifice to save the many. If that belief makes me a hypocrite, my dictionary is no good. A hypocrite is one who pretends to be what he isn't. The ardent wet washes his hands of his fellow man. He refuses to be responsible. "Ix?t the weaklings go to hell," he says; "it isn't my fault and it isn't my concern. It isn't right to deny me my liquor just because other men make asses of themselves." That's good logic, too. But the citizen of a Republic must be a little less selfish. I grant the wet's right to feels as he does; but if that is hi3 idea of good citizenship, I'd hate to have him as one of a party of explorers if things?went?wrong.?I'd rather have a man who believes in personal sacrifice for the good of all. I'm not defending Prohibition "as s." It's rotten through and through. I'm merely defending the idea that a good citizen may like a "snort" or a "snifter" . and still favor keeping "White mule" from the baby.?Robt. Quillen in Fountain Inn Tribune.

Death Near Rembert Christopher Columbus Richbourg, ago about 70 years, died at his home near Rembert on the morning of May 2d at 11 o'clock. His funeral services, conducted by the Rev. W. L. Parker were held in the St. Johns Methodist church at Spring Hill the following day with interment in the church cemetery. The floral tributes attested the esteem by which this good man was held. Mr. Richbourg was a highly respected citizen commonly known as ( Dick Richbourg, and a member of St. Johns Methodist church.
