Whaw huMk?U Fails
Florence, Sept. tt.?Jack McElveen, 1
?.H-y?*r-old Atlanta (Ga.) parachute ]
jumper, was dashed to death on an 3
improvised flying field half a mil*
from here today when a strap on his
parachute broke as he left a plane
2,000 feet in the air. A crowd estimated
at 2,000 persons, watching performances
of an aerial circua with
which McElveen was connected, saw
him hurtle through the air and fall !
face foremost on the ground.
McElveen was dead when the firsi k
bystander reached him, the terriflc :
force with which he struck the ground 3
killing him instantly.
A jagged wound in the forehead, f
inflicted by a sharp rock, was bellowed ;
to have been the immediate cause of \
death although examination showed 3
the left leg and arm, as well as sever I
al rib# on the left side, to have been jj
broken. The performer's face was 3
badly bruised and crushed.
McElveen had just reacted the
field and gone up in a plane piloted
by R. L. Stephens, also of Atlanta,
for a performance. The plane aoared
to an altitude of approximately 2,000
| feet, and McElveen prepared for his
jump to the ground. A moment after
he sprang from the airplane a
strap of the parachute apparently
snapped and the parachute parted p
from the jumper's body. How the J
young man dropped to his death wpp 1
described by W. A. Beaty, Florence 1
hanker, one of the hundreds of on- I
lookers. v
"I saw him jump," said Mr. Beaty, !
"and expecting the parachute to |
open immediately, turned my eyea 1
away for a split second. p
"When I looked again, the parachute
was not attached to the man's
body, and he was hurtling through
the air. In a half a second, he him- J
self seemed to resize his parachute
had failed him.
*'tfe*?Krew out his arms ' ancl' legs
like a swimmer struggling in the j
water as though he were trying to i
grasp something and save himself.
"On and on the body came with i
arms and legs outstretched, until it j
struck the ground in that position." j
The parachute floated on down to- j
ward the earth, opening about the I
time McElveen fell to the ground, j
Examination revealed, it was said, :
that one of the straps with which it j
was fastened to the body was bro^^ and
the other strap seemingly had
fidt been hooked fn fts fastener.
Coroner R. F. Coleman announced he ?|
would hold an inquest tomorrow., , i
McElveen, whose nickname was said |
to be "Jumping Jack," and Stephens f
were members of a purty that had
been giving performances on a field
near Florence since Friday. A second
plane, piloted by F. A. Stone, was ;
in the air at the time of the accident. 1
The men said they were connected 1
with the Davis "Flying Circus" of 1
Atlanta.
The body of the performer was
prepared for burial at an undertaking
establishment. He is survived by his
mother, who lives in Atlanta.

Captured <Great Bald Eagle
' All who have a fondness for the
study of birds will be interested in a
vary fine specimen of bald eagle at
Mr. Sumter Schulte's place about six'
I niiles from Chester on the bid York
rbud. The monarch of the air, which.
1 weighs 26 pounds, and is six feet!
two inches from tip to tip, was CSp-?
! tured Thursday afternoon by iBfr.
Bob Wrenn, who hearing a great'
i comnotidn among a flock of crows
made his way to the spot, and saw
j the fftgle in a briar patch, defending
himself from his numberless adversaries,
which came at him from all*
directions, pecking and cawing. .The
big bird was too busy with the cttoWs
!to note the approach of Mr. Wrpnn,
who tapped him on the head with ttiq
gun barrel, and made him a prisoner.
Crowds have been to see the royal
bird, and Mr. Wrenn has had one or<
two oiferfi to buy.?Chester Reporter.

Sad Reminders
On the beach near Aberdeen, Washington,
two boys picked up a perfume
, bottle which contained the .following
note, 'Was gone. .Water running
low, beeh floating on wing tip four
days. October 2, 1027. Miss Milled
Doran." ?- - ?
Seveiij! weeks ago a bottle was
found on the 'French coast containing
n note purporting to be from Hinchellff
and Hon Elise McKay, British woman
who went t? death in an attempted
ocean flight. ~
Whether or not these notes wen?
really written by the lost parties will
never be known, but they are at least
remindful that the odds are overwhelmingly
against succesful flights
across the ocean In present day airplanes,
and especially airplanes not dc
signed toTanfl on water.?Monroe En

More Fan Letters to Smith
Cincinnati, Sept. 1.?It has come to I
a point now where voters of the coun- i
try, Democratic, Republican, or what i
not, are telling the candidates, per- 1
sonally, what they think of them. 1
And furthermore, they are signing
their names.
A progressive greeting card manufacturer
has gotten out something a
little way from the "sweetheart,"
"mother dear," and the usual run of '
cards and. is putting out a nicely
decorated card, with the envelope
already addressed, to the candidates
:?'both Smith and Hoover. On this
card the sender signs ids name and
address, slips it in its envelops and, j
away ahe goes to ohaer up Herbert ,
or Al. |
The Al Smith card reads, "You
Know Me Al -Pm for Tot.4* The
Hoover card bears the message, "I'm
with you now and I'll fee right on the
Job Election Day I" -}
So far, reports we have been able
to 'gather show that since August tf.
Smith has ^received approximately
178,914, and Hoover 167,781, so that
if. the election is decided on a greeting
card vote, Smith would whs*
However, next week may see a change
in the wind and Hoover be in the
lead.
Lithuania and Turkey have signified
their intention of subscribing to
the KellOgg anti-war treaty at some
future date. There are yet ? eighteen
nations to make known their atti*
tudes toward the pacts.
After announcing that he was go-,
ing-to carry 30 gallons of lujuor
through Andrews, N. C., Tuesday
night, and would kill any officer who
tried to stop him, Charley Gibbie was
buried there Wednesday afternoon
beside his sister who had died about
the same time at Winson-Salem.
When the officers of Cherokee county
stopped him, Gibbie fired a shotgun
ih the face of one of them who dodged
the shot, grabbed the bootlegger,
fought him in the rand * while, and
then - shot?Mur. The officer was
Deputy Sheriff Pulliam who w'as held
under 13,000 bond for his appearance
in the superior court.
Freeing himself after being bound
by two yeggmen, Postmaster S. O.
Bowyer of Danese, W. Va., on Friday
night seieed a pistol and shot one of
the yeggmen dead. The other escaped.
