BAKNTWELL. S. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 5, 1909 GREAT TRIUMPH Aviator Makis Ten mile Flight Carrying Passenger. ALL RECORDS BROKEN ROBBED BY A WOMAN MEXICO SHAKEN CAROLINA LIBRARY UNION MEETS C0CAINE HABIT TWO GIRL BANDITS HOLD UP AU TOMOBILE ON ROAD Chllpanclngo is Destroyed, Aca pulco Partly Razed. And Relieved the Occupants of All the Cash and Valuables They Had SEVERE EARTHQUAKE About Them. The Younger of the Two Famous Brothers Accomplishes the Most Difficult Flight Ever Planned for an Aeroplane, and Meets Success fully the Final Test. A special dispatch from Wash ington says last Friday evening Orville Wright attained the zenith of hard earned success. In a ten- mile cross-country flight In the fa mous aeroplane, hi^llt by himself and his elder brother. Wilbur, and accompanied by Lieut. Benjamin D. Foulols, an intrepid officer of the army signal corps, he not only sur passed the speed requirements of his contract with the United States gov ernment, but accomplished the most difficult and daring flight ever plan ned for a heavier-than-air flying ma chine. Incidentally he broke all speed records over a measured course. And he established beyond dispute the practicability of an aeroplane In time of peace and in time of war. His speed was over 4 2 miles an hour; he made the ten-mile flight from Fort Myer and hack in 14 minutes and forty-two seconds, in cluding the more than twenty sec onds required for the turn beyond the line at Shuter Hill, the south ern end of the course. He attained a height in crossing th e valley of Four Mile Run of nearly 500 feet, and the average altitude of his practically level course was about 200 feet above the ground. President Taft, who had become an enthusiastic spectator of the aeroplane trials, although two years ago when Secretary of War. he is said to have expressed to officers profound scepticism as to the ac- compllshment of such a feat as that of which he saw the completion, ar riving upon the pun.de grounils at Fort Myer just in time to see the aeroplane land and to participate In the wild demonstration which wel comed the triumphant aviators. He sent an officer to near his congrat ulations to the victors. A terrific wind and rain storm early In the afterncon seemed provl- dentally provided V/ clear and quiet ‘the atmospheric v.^ndWlons In pre paration for the flight, which was delayed only by the failure of the army field telegraph line from Fort Myer to Shuter Hill. It was still oat of commission when Orville Wright, seizing the moment of the best weather conditione he had yet had for the speed test, had the ma chine placed on the starting rail and gave the motor a final test. The engine worked perfectly, and the crowd seemed to realize that an epoch-making moment was at hand. They pressed forward against the lines, which held them back breath less. Intense, eagerly watching every movement of the aviator and hla ma chine. The signal corps detail -hoisted the great weight in the start log derrick which gives the machine Its Initial impulse. Lieut. Foulols, lithe, wiry, brown as a berry, tn his khaki uniform and leggings, at a sign from Orville climbed Into the Vpassengqr's seat beside the motor. Wilbur ana Charley Taylor, the Wrights - •‘me chantcian, 1 ’ took their places at the propellers. Orville turned on the sparker of the motor, and they whirled the blades around. The mo tor picked up the impetus, Orville * ttfrned on the spefcd, and for the first time the propellers of fhe Wright aeroplane were whliring at their maximum capacity. The smooth and even song of the engine aroused the crowd to ex cited cheering. Orville clambered into his seat and gripped the levers. Wilbur, at a nod from his brother, slipped the cable which released the weight, the aeroplane shot down the track rose before it reached the end, and skimmed over the surface of the ground for a hundred feet or more. As if drawn up by invisible pow ers, the white-winged man-bird rose higher and higher, reached the end of the field, turned at a slight angle, and faced about. Climbing up as It were on the air, higher and yet higher, Orville brought the maclne at great speed once again fully round the field. Clark M. Babbitt of Buffalo, N. Y., who Is taking part in the (Hid den automobile tour, arrived at Den ver, Col., late Wednesday night and told how he had been held up and robbed by two girl bandits. With him were Richard Radley, a lawyer of Peoria, 111.; A. Y. Bartholomew, driver, and H. L. Kupel, mechani- can. Here Is Mr. Babbitt's story in his own words: “Our car left Sterling about 8 o’clock Saturday morning, and when we had driven about 30 miles across the prairie we encountered two young women on horseback. They were some distance away when we first noted them and we supposed they were a couple of the Wild West cowgirls we had often read about. The girls kept galloping in our direction, and as we were proceed ing slowly, It wasn’t long before they were within hailing distance. They waved to us first, and taking it for a friendly salutation of the road we all waved back. Some few words of greeting were exchanged, when one of the girls called out: Hold on there a minute, I want to tell you something.’ “ ‘Better stop,’ I told Bartholo mew, and he came to a halt. Then while one girl kept us covered with hef revolver the other rode up be side the machine and held out her hand. I handed over my money, $93, and Bartholomew produced his watch and pocketbook containing $100. Without waning for anything more the girls wheeled and rode away. “Both girls were young, wore wide brimmed hats and brown khaki suite. They rode astride and were dandy riders. The hold-up occurred at about 11 o’clock In the morning. There was no way to get any one to chase the girls, and all we could do was to ride on to Denver.’’ _ ._ _ / LIST OF BOOKS HAVE BEES IS SUED AND SENT OUT. LOST THE GORUSE And the Funeral Had to be Helled Until Found. A funeral, with all the necessary accoutrements, except the most im portant of alt, the corpse, was the strange situation at Eldoia, P« Undertakers, pallbearers, mourners, friends, preachers, carriages, a full funeral cortege In fact were there, but no body to be burled. The “re mains’’ had been lost on the way from Lancaster, an<J could not be found. The funeral was that of a colored woman, Annie Boyer, who died in Lancaster. The body was carried by trolley to Quarryville and was to have been transferred to the Lancas ter, Oxford & Southern railroad, thence taken to Eldora station. In some unaccountable manner this transfer slipped up, and when the funeral party boarded the train the body was left on the trolley. Final ly the undertaker arranged to drive back to Quarryville, where the miss ing casket was found at the trolley depot, and after a delay of six hours the services were held as originally planned. Loss of Life is not Definitely Known, But is not Thounht to be Very Great—Mexico City Waved by Made Ground, on Which it Stands. Shocks Extend Over Large Area. A dispatch from Mexico City says with Chllpanclngo destroyed and Acapulco partly razed and the k>&» of life problematical, Central Mexi co from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Queranto on the north to Oaxaca on the south, an area of more than one thousand square miles, was shaken at an early hour Friday by a series of the most se vere earth shocks felt In the re gion for the last quarter of a cen tury. The quake was severe In Mexico City, but not prolific In destruction. Reports telling of the loss of lifu are meagre, but the official figures thus far given show fourteen killed and more than a score mortally in jured. While word comes from G. Poy- ros, an American commercial travel ler at Chllpanclngo, Guerrero, that that city was destroyed and the In habitants are Uvlng In the open, suffering from the elements, the loss of life Is not definitely known. The shocks continued at Chllpanclngo Friday night, with subterranean rumbling and flashes of lightning, rain and hail. Acpulco Guerrero, was partly razed, but the extent of the damage Is not known, as communication with that part of the Republic is not w T ell established. According to observatory records, the first shock was at 4:15 Friday morning, the oscillation being from east to southwest. It was severe, causing the bells of many cathedrals in Mexico City to toll, breaking crockery and In some Instances lev eling walls. The inhabitants of the capital had hardly recovered from the fright of the quake when a sec ond and more severe shock caused an outpouring of nearly all the rei- Idents to the streets and open pi azzas. This movement was of a twisting character, and lasted with severity for ninety seconds. Tall buildings swayed and in some instances crack ed. the pavement opened in places and In the poorer quarters a number of houses collapsed. So far as can be learned, six lost their lives in Mexico City and envi rons in th4s second shock. Two were men of the lower class, the others being three women and a child. Four now In hospitals can not recover, It is said. After the second shock no one ven tured Indoors again until daybreak. The large American colony escap ed unscathed. They, with the entire native population, remained tn the piazzas or square^ lunlfl daylight gave them courage to enter their dwellings. * Teachers and Trustees Urged to Take Advantage of State's Offer of Aid—How to Get Library, The South Carolina list of library books has been Issued and Is being sent out to school patrons, teachers and trustees of the State by Super intendent of Education Swearingen. The list contains over 900 books, embracing subjects of literature, his tory, art, encyclopedias, fiction, and in fact everything that would be of benefit to the school children of the State. The list was adopted on April 23 and will continue until June, 1914. Mr. Swearingen, In a foreword to the book says: “The State board of education nas adopted this list in accordance with the provisions of the Library Law. Under competitive bids the contract was awarded to the Poole and Isley Company, of Atlanta, and all library orders should be placed with this firm. The nine hundred and ten titles on the list offered a wide range of selection. Schools without libra ries should try to establish them, and schools where libraries are already established, may well add to then books from this list. “Where high school classes in lit erature use as much as $15 worth of books, teachers may find it to their advantage to order the books on this list. All orders should be filed with in thirty days, and no substitutions are allowed, except with the con sent of the purchaser. Less than one-tttird of our schools have li braries. Text books are often times the only books placed in the hands of teachers and pupile, although ev eryone admits that the nablt of read ing is one of the surest means of education.” To establish a library, the patrons raise ten dollars, the trustees givj ten, the county board gives ten for a bookcase and the State board ten. To enlarge a library, the patrons raise five dollars, the county board gives five and the State board five. The State legislature appropriates $5,000 annually to be expended by the State board of education, under the provisions of the library law. All of this amount is never taken up, part of It being returned to the State treasurer. Should It all be expended It would mean that about $20,000 would be Invested In books for school libraries in South Carolina each year.

It is supposed that Montgom ery accidentally walked upon the burglars while they were at work, and was shot by the lookout they left at the door.
