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 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.

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.
He was an active farmer up to a
year ago when his health failed and
he was forced to retire.
No immediate family survives. A
cousin Jesse Holland and Mrs. Holland
made their home with the old
gentleman.?Bishop ville Messenger.
Robert Little was shot through the
right lung with a load of buckshot by
D. R. Murry in front of the latter'*
home at Statesville Friday night. J
Little and two companions came to j
the Murry house, were boisterous and
threw missiles at it, and called Murry
out. \\ hen Murry came to the coor
they advanced toward him, and fired
a shot from a single barreled gun. He
lived in Chester until eight months
ago and has a good reputation. He
was jailed to await the result of the
wound on Little who was taken to a
hospital.
