Developments In Flying From 1*85 to 1000. _ The period from 1896 to 1900 was one* of unexampled activity In aero? nautics, and for a time there was high hope that the age of flying was at hand. But Maxim, after spending 9>"'.000, abandoned the work; the Ader machine, built at the expense of the French government, was a failure; Llllenthal and PUcher were killed In experiments, and Chanute and many others, from one cause or another, had relaxed their efforts, though It eubsequently became known that Prof. Langley was still secretly at work on a machine for the United States government. The public, dls? coursged by the failures arid tragedies Just witnessed, considered flights be? yond the reach of man, and classed Its adherents with the Inventors of per? petual motion. We began our active experiments St the close of *hln period, In October, 1900. at Kitty Hawk, N. C. Our ma? chine was designed to be flown as a tklte, with a man on board, In winds of from 15 to 20 miles an hour. But. upon trial, It was found that much stronger winds were required to ,lift it. Suitable winds not being plentiful we found It necessary In order to test the new balancing system to fly the machine as a kite without a man or board, operntlng the levers through cords from the ground. This did not give the practice anticipated, but it inspired confidence in the new system Of balance.?The Wrights In the Cen? tury. ELECTIONS IN ALABAMA. Republican N Defended for Muyor of Birmingham.

Addroscs Two of the largest Audi? ence* IIc? Has Ever Faced?Memor? able Day in Ohio? Troddentlal Of? fice is Not a Party Asset?Bryan Asks Roosevelt to Put Square Real Preaching Into Practice. Cincinnati. Sept. 24.?"All I ask of the President Is that he put Into prac? tice for a month and a half what he has talked about for seven years, and that is a square deal." Twice today W. J. Bryan, Demo? cratic candidate for President, gave expression to this utterance, the first time In Dayton and again in this city tonight, to two of the largest audi? ences he has ever faced. It was not a square deal, he charg? ed, for the President to pick out one Republican and nominate him over other Republicans, and It was not a square deal for the President to use his office, which belonged to all the people, as a party asset. He added a new feature to his speeches during the campaign by comparing the personal record of himself and Taft. After a memorable day in the his? tory of campaigning in this State Mr. Bryan arrived In this city tonight at 7.15 o'clock from Dayton, where he stayed several hours enroute from Columbus. His train, which made the run as a special at the rate of 68 miles an hour, was decked with flag3 and bunting, placed there at the urg? ent request of employes of the Cin? cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Rail? road. Accompanying Mr.1 Bryan were Judson Harmon, Democratic candi? date for Governor; State Chairman Finley and a big escort from Cincin? nati. As the train carrying the distin? guished Xebraskan pulled Into the station through a gauntlet of red fire thousands of throats sent up a mighty yell of "Hurrah for Bryan!" The progress of Mr. Bryan from the railroad station to the hotel was a continuous laudation. The reception accorded the Demo? cratic candidate on his way from Co lumbus was remarkable. Large crowds turned out all along the line, but It remained for Dayton to over? whelm him. So great were the crowds that he was compelled to deliver two extra speeches to street throngs that stopped street. car traffic. He was ehowered with flowers and greet? ed with vociferous applause from the thousands from the city and sur? rounding points. During his speeches In the Victoria and the National thea? tres at Dayton Mr. Bryan read a tel? egram from National Chairman Mack to Harvey C. Carber, national com mltteeman. In this message Mr. Mack denied the story, which had been circulated, that as chairman of the committee he had declared thai there had been left over from the last campaign 8300,000 or any other amourft. Mr. Mack also asserted that he had not received from Governor Haskell or anybody else any money from the Standard Oil Company or other corporations. Mr. Bryan cor? roborated Mr. Mack's telegram. A Traveling Man's Experience. ?"I must tell you my experience on an eastbound O. R. & X. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grand, Ore.," writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling; man. "I was in the smoking department with some other traveling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said. 'There Is a woman sick unto death In the car.' I at once got up and went out, found her. very 111 with cramp colic, her hands and arms were draws up so you could not straighten them, and with a death-like look on her face. Two or three ladles were working with her and giving her whis? key. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the wat??r tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water Into It and stirred it with a pen? cil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give It to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and In 20 minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grand, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bot t'e to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grand she was nil right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car."

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Opinions Rendered in Appealed Omn From Sumtcr County. (Reported for the State by John B. Reynolds, Counsellor at Law.) Nettie F. Parrott et al., appellants, vs. Geo. McD. Barrett et al., respond? ents.?Partition. Rights of parties in interest. Procedure. Equalization. Court's discretion. This is an action for the partition of real estate?the facts of the case appearing in the report of the former appeal?70, S. C. 205, 49 S. E. 568. Thereafter a writ of partition was directed to five commissioners ap? pointed as required by the statute, the writ containing directions in accord? ance with the language of the su? preme court, as given in 70 S. C. at page 208. ? The commissioners return having been attacked by the plaintiffs, the circuit judge (Judge Watts) ordered a reference to the master to take tes? timony In relation thereto. On hearing the master's report the circuit Judge (Judge Memminger) confirmed the commissioners' return (except In one particular) and ad Judged accordingly. The plaintiffs appealed. Mr. Justice Jones: | The decree of the supreme court on the former ap? peal, formulating a scheme of par? tition, was a direction of that court and not a mere suggestion. Such direction is within the power? of a court of chancery In the admin? istration of Justice and equity to all concerned. It is immaterial whether the per? sons charged with making the parti? tion be designated as "appraisers" or as "commissioners." In order to overthrow the valuation made by the commissioners in partition It must be shown that it is so grossly Incorrect and unequal as \o Justify an inference that the commis? sioners acted from an unfair and im? proper motive. 75 S. C. 369, 55 S. E. 887; 76 S. C. 499; 79 S: C. 394, 60 S. E. 943. * I A careful examination of the testl I mony discroses no ground for dis? turbing the circuit court's conclusion sustaining the valuation made by the I commissioners. I The fact that the plaintiffs made and secured a bid for one of the par? cels at a material advance on the I valutlon placed thereon by the com I missioners did not entitle the plain? tiffs to have such parcel sold Instead of assigning it to certain of the parties. ( The doctrine of Moore vs. William? son, 10 Rich. Eq. 325, is inapplicable to this case. The allotment of one of the parcels to one of the parties, coupled with the requirement that such party pay a certain sum of money, to effect equalization, is justified by the facts I and circumstances which induced the same. I There is no law requiring the Judge to view the premises in partition pro I ceedings. and It Is not error for him I to decline to do so. I Where an order making certain I substitutions of parlies is agreed on I but not signed, the omission is a mere I inadvertance which may be corrected I by the taking of proper orders after I remand to the circuit court. I The Judgment below should be af I firmed. I Mr. Chief Justice Pope and Mr. I Justice Gary concur. Mr. Justice Woods: I concur on the I ground that the Judgment of the su I preme court in the former appeal re? quired an actual partition of the land, I according to the scheme therein laid down. But for this I think the parties I would have the right to bring the I several tracts of land to a sale, by I giving adequate assurance to the I court that they would bid more at the sale than the assessed value, un I der the rule laid down in Moore vs. Williamson, 10 Rich. Eq. 323. Judgment below affirmed and case I remanded. Mr. A. B. Stuckey, Mr. Geo. John I stone for appellants: Messrs Lee & Moise, Messrs. Haynsworth & Hayns? worth for respondents. R. F.
