Wm High up in Air and Making Rapid Thaw Towards North From Tho Daily Item. May 13. This morning a few minutes after 7 o'clock many of the citlaena of Sum? ter ware tarrprlaed to see what seem? ed to be a eery larva aeroplane pass? ing* over the city, going towards the northeast The machine waa said to he high up In the air, although the sound of its motor could be distinctly heard and this was what attracted at? tention. The machine seemed to be coming from the southwest along the M. dk A. railroad track and followed the track towards Florence. It was last heard from at Lynchburg, which it pssaad a fsw minutes after it was seen In Sumter. ? It was reported that one man aaw two aeroplanes and another man stated that an aeroplane passed over the city last night, but no confirma? tion could bo secured of these reports. It wad learned that the aviator left Augusta at ft.OO this morning and was making an effort to fly to New Tork. He pssssd over Florence about 8 o'clock this morning and was keep* lng well ahead of the Coast line train which left Augusta Just behind him. It wssVtseraed hero today that the avlatorveree pa ami over Sumter In an asrorilsii at Me this morning wau H. R. Rhinehart the aviator who flew here the last week In December, It 11, for the Borger Aviation Company, as a part of the carnival attraction here. Mr. Rhinehart at that time was just beginning his career as an aviator. Yesterday Mr. Rhinehart made a test ^Hght from Augusta, where he hr at the Wright, Aviation School, in a Wright aeroplane, to 'Harlem and back, making the trip at a rate of move than *e miles an hour. He .waa to have left Augusta at about 5 o'clock this morning* and endeavor to make a continuous flight to New York ettjr. V 71 It wan stated that he dropped some literatsirs) kn passing over the city, hut nossi of this has been seen by the Item srafwssentattva, It wae also rev ported W t*e street-that a loaf of bread and can of sardines had seen dropped In one man's yard, hut this, la hardly true, as the aviator would have little opportunity c opening the canned goods. The height at which he was flying secuta to have been about half a mile, although sense of thoee who saw him stated that it waa higher and others that he was comparatively low His speed can bo judged by the fa.ct that he left Augusta at 6 o'elnck and reached Sumter at 7.10, and then passed over Florence at 8 o'clock, ho must have been going at a rat? of ap? proximately a little less than f 0 miles an hour, Augusta being probably about one hundred and ten or fifteen miles in a direct line and Florence being forty milee from Sumter.

It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: "Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources?" The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brand, new or oldy that may be offered is a genuine cream of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound. Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York HURT IN NORFOLK. Rev. J. W. Guy's Leg Broken by Auto mobile.
