GREAT ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED Washington. July 30:?Orville Wright this evening attained the! zenith of hard earned success. In a ten mile cross-country flight in the famous aeroplane, built by himself j > and his elder brother. Wilbur, and [ accompanied by Lieut Benjamin I), Foulois, an intrepid oflicer of the! army signal corps, he not only surpassed the speed requirements of hisj contract with the I'nited States Government, but accomplished the most difficult aud daring flight ever planned for a heavier-thanair flying machine. Incidentally he broke all speed records over a measured course. And he established beyond disputethe practicability of an aeroplane in | time of peace aud in time of war. j His speed was over 42 nnlts an j hour; be made ttie ten-mile nigntj from Fort Meyer and back m 14 minutes and 4*2 seconds, including i the more than twenty seconds re- j quired for the turn beyond the line at Shuter Hill, the southern end of 1 the course. He attained a height in crossing the valley of Four Mile Kun of nearly 5()0 feet, and the average altitude of his practically level conrse was about 200 feet above the ground. President Taft, who had become an enthusiastic speotator 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 accomplishment ' of such a feat as that of which today he saw the completion, arrived ^ upon the parade ground at Fort Meyer just in time to see the aero, i 1 ?i * plane lauu ami iu paiueipaic m inc wild demonstration which welcomed the triumphant aviators.

URtAT ENTHUSIaImItIaMBERT. Six Postoffices Represented in Mas* Meeting Solid Against Rutledge. Lambert, August 2:?There wae a mass meeting h^re Friday night, called for the purpose ot discussing the new county movement. The meeting was largely attended, not only by the people of our immediate neighborhood, but by the most influential men of Rome, Indiantown, Johnsonville, Chapman and Outland. All expressed themselves against the formation of Rutledge county, and not a single man was in favor of the new county nor did any oue know any man in their section who was going to vote for same.. We certainly feel proud of our people and are glad to see tbetn sc entfiused over ibe matter and determined no to be intluenced by the false doctrine that Lake City is trying to preach. All are going tc vote right on the 17th of August and feel fully confideit they are going to win, W C Hemingway, M D. A Card.

To this question we say emphatically, no! We would be no nearer the counJtyseat than we are now; we ! could get no better use of the county funds than we are now 1 getting; not as many county officers could come from among us, as it is generally known that every male citizen of Lake City is going to be elected to a big office. And, again, we shall have our already sufficiently taxed property double taxed for the express purpose of building! a jail and court house for Lake j City. We can in no light see wThere-, in llutledge county would be a j benefit to us in the least, but' we can very clearly see wnere-j ^ <2* ?? ??? ?

It is truly gratifying to note le articles in your valuable paer from the various sections of ohnson township, especially 1 its upper section. Surelv, if tese good people are such a nit, who are so much nearer! iake City than we are around !ome, the Romans can not do tiler than rally to the polls on; le 17th oi August and show ur neighbors to a man that hen there is need for a thing! ) be done Rome does not do .. u.. u~i ?~ f,. iinga uy iianca. iuui wiiiv.i , as not been able so tar to tind , man in or around Home who ivors the annexation of our. uaint little city, Rome, to the 'Quid-be Rutledge county; but! istead. we are much elated over, :ie situation and are scanning' ur dear old "Record" from week j ) week to see how our good ' eople in Indian and Sandy, ^rove townships stand.

Would it not be far better for Lake . tfB City to take her surplus money and build one or two tobacco stemmeries or a manufacturing plant?
