FLI?S AT LAST
Aviator Shov?a Invention Theory
Waa' Corre?t-~-Curlis3f Flew
rr?achine
(By Associated Press.)
Elmira, N. Y., May 29.-The theory
of Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley, who
proclaimed to the world that he had
solved the problem of the air several'
years before thb upper elements had
been successfully navigated by a hav
ier-than-alr machine wss vindicated at
Hammondsport yesterday, when Glenn
Ciir tl BB, tho, aviator, went aloft in
Langley's folly."' . ,
The cnude flying machJoe, which fell
Into the Potomac river;' when Dr.
Langley, its Inventor, attem'ifced to fly
In ii i?S vh'co later was consigned to
the Smithsonian Institution* it Wash
ington bod every requisite for flight, I
ntfd remained in the,air long enough
to demonstrate the practical mind of
itte maker who-had been: ridiculed by j
hts Incredulous -contemporaries.
But for as? untimely accident, and
what was termed .the "miserliness of
th? government" Langley would, .have
undoubtedly won famo ''during his life
time. Instead, he died a broken
hearted mau, after devoting twenty |
years of hin life' to the study of avia
tion. Years later others received the j
fame and cr?dit where he should have I
had a share. .. :
Langley made the fatal error of try
ing to catapult the flyer into the sir
with the aid. of . ponderous spring, but
he only succeeded in wrecking the ma
chine. Had he tried the method pur
aue'd today of running it along - the
ally* in the air, : there is little doubt'h?
would have made'the first flight la a
h??vier-thnri- air machine.
Tho antiquated machine was sent.to
Hammondsport about two months ago.
Scarcely a change was made in its
parts. The surface of the win_
which had suffered from long storage,!
were replaced. Other minor.parts re- !
paired were duplicates of the origin
als. The machine was driven today
by . the old motor built by Charles |
Manly.
Dr. Langley .was^the secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution. He was sat
isfied ot possibility of flight in heav
ier-than-air machines and spent years
in'working on the problem. In 1896
he Hew a steam driven model a dlstanc 3
of,about s mile over Ufe Potomac rif
er.

.VEEDIKG ALFALFA TO HORSE*.
It Ic not well to feed alfalfa bay in
too large quantities to brood mares
and this Is a matter;.^? which pre-v
caution shpuld : bo taken, according to
CRna&otf -College. HdrsRirftend to
beomo''bloated tt allowed ?O over
feed on af fal fa hay. especially If .the
hay ls 0' a-more or less green ata&'a.
It ,1s . always advisable when alfalfd
hay ls to be fed to horses to allow
the alfalfa to remain in the field until
well matured. The danger of ":bloar-.
lag in horses is especially great tn
the case of mares in foal, which aro
likely lo overeat. These procautlons
ar? notJ necessarr' in fe?dtog*atfiU
to-catie and, tn fact, the grerti alfiil
hay ls very d?sirable for dairycattle.
Good results 'have been 'obtained h*
feeding brood mares by limiting their
alfalfo to bd?-U?rd "of ' the total
amount of rough ?se. fed to them.

Wonderful Woman.
With hat tlr/P^d over, no oyo free,
'Tis very plain she can not see.
With hair combed over ears; tis clear
That she, of course, can hardly hear.
With gown no tight lt cause* talk.
Tis plain that she can scarely walk.
And yet nbc' dod RP s autos, teams,

Man never could survive, poor chap,
Beneath brt?-half that handicap.

He ls Making Race On Own Merits
Not On Others Shortcomings
Stands For Fair Play
Mr. Editor. Having announced' my
self a eatfJiflate for mayor, I desire to
state . briefly tay position on sonic .of
tho matters about which tho people of .
tho city are concerned. 't&?
(First of all. let lt be - understood
that 1 am making the race.oh my .
own individual merits, abd not on tho
demerits or short comings of any one
oise, and that I stand for fair' play.
It is needless tor niako top many
promises, but I can. give the!' people
this- assurance, that if et vied. I' wilt
.give my time to tho dutlos of 'the of- %
flee and will personally look ? after -
tho varlouB departments and will give
to every part ~of tho city a ' square
deal. It must bo remembered ' that
along with tho mayor, there will-be -
elected a full council of six alder-'
mon . '*.?? will have their share bf re
sponse. . and I do not doubt that
there win be selected men who will
measure up to their places. It is all
important that there shall be cp-op
oratfoh in the ? interests of the com
munity. Anderson is taking on a great
growth and ia fast becoming a. city
of importance In this section of thu
south, aod the office of mayor of a
city of Its sise and Aportante' car- '
rios with lt no little responsibility. I
fully realize tills, and shall feel bounn
to labor for "her best welfare. nttd-,:rrth^-v'
co-operation and1 mutual confldenco,
I expect, if elected to carry on ? sue- - -
cesBful and useful administration.
As a general' proposition, I island
for the mast rigid economy consistent
with the* greatest efficiency, and should /
labor faithfully to accomplish the fol- |
lowing:
' T. Bettbr 'street1 Improvements; giv
ing my own personal attention to the
j same.
2. City ownership pf tho abattoir and
tho direct responsibility to the poo-'.
pie by tho council for Its proper man- '.
agoment.
3- Abolishment of tho sanitary 'dues.
The common people pay thcBo taxes,
and they amount in effect to a contri'
hutton by thom to tho sewer bohdaV^
when they get no benofit of tho ays
? tem.
4. Reduction of street tax from
$3,00 to 12.00. '
6. The maintenance bf the Ure dev J
partaient at tho lovel of hlghiist of* r
flcloncy. ,
6. Ono clerk qt council at .?.Jtj?^
lng salary. , - ' v
7. Abolishment, of-the-office o? re
corder, and having the. mayor to u;
all cases that arise under tho ordin
ances. The system of trying persons
rtcajp ed of violating tho or rt ino teca hy ;
a pol leo Judge.ntWshrHh^'tho^
has not glvo^; satisfaction. A man
selected by"tue^.councilInstead ofrthe
'people is Hablo to fool his responsi
bility to the ' council instead at the .
-people. On the other hand, If he hold*
himself responsible-to the pcoplo and
not the council that elected him, he is
liable to be fired.
Aa for the franchise granted by tho
present connell to the Public Utilities
corporation, lt would ape par, to bo a
dead Issue now. I fail to soe how a new
council could como in end rescind .
their action if tt ls in tito nature 'of:'i|
a contract and done legally, I do not
hosltate to; say,'however?-that, had I".-''-'
been a member of the council, I
should ' havo favored tho submitting or
sp important ind far-reaching a mat-' ' :
ter to a vote of tho people of the el ty.
Assuring the - people that I shall
appreciate-their placing In ray hands .
tl)ts trust Which involves their Inter
ests, I ahEll give to office my best??
efforts. X am no ?tranger here, having
lived here for, sixty years, and hate'
'fnlitf1 Impbrtani and responsible plaoea^
tia Vitt g been on the council for about.?
eight' years and chairman or the most
important committees during that tim? -
wlileh gave mo cxporlqnce in city
po vern merit.
Respectfully, submitted,
