The attempt of Ward and Fowler
to cross the continent in an aeroplane
recalls to mind the fact that
it "was only 75 years ago when the
first wagon train crossed the plains
. and blazed the way for the tide
of immigration that followed. Ten
years later, in 1849, rail was being
laid on the first transcontinental
railway, and just 50 years later.
1899, the plains and mountains and |
deserts were successfully cross- (
ed by the automobile. It was only I?
a short jump from the automobile '
to the aeroplane, and if the at- '
tempt of Ward and Fowler to fly ,
across the continent is successful (
there be -*,Mng left between

fcf there is an ordinance regulat- ]
ing the speed of automobiles it
should be enforced, and if there is ?
no such ordinance Council should E
lose no time in passing one. Drivers
are altogether too reckless in ^
-unning their machines through I
ie streets, and it will be too late 1
after a Ufe has been sacrificed to ^
do something to check the speed i.
mama. And while Council is reg- h
ulatiug the speed ot automobiles 0
It would be well to adopt an or- J
dinance prohibiting the use of ^
these new-fangled horns which f
give out such unearthly sounds, t
Lots of towns are prohibiting the ^
use of any but the old time "honk, f
honk" horn, which, we think is de- t
cidedly better than the horns which
emit such terrible shrieks that they ^
do more to frighten than to warn p
pedestrians of approaching dagner.

POPULAR EDUCATION i
PresbyteriiwiN <tf the State to Make '
a Whirlwind Caiupaieii for an
Endowment of Tlieir UoUeges.
The Presbyterian church of'j
South Carolina is launching one o( ] '
the most important enterprises that j
has ever engaged the thoughts and i t
energies of the church as a whole, i t
They are ou> for a fund of $200,- L,
000 for the advancement of their t
educational institutions of this t
State. t
The Presbyterian church has al- 8
ways been a strong believer ' in
higher education, but it is a well s
mvi max. m mis state tneir s
educational work has not been up ?
to the standard. In the past few (
years there has been gratifying im- t
provement and now the church pro- ^
poses to raise the sum of $200,000 s
to further improve its schools. That ;
this amount may be quickly raised ]
and that the whole church may f
have the privilege of giving a ,
new plan is being adopted to for- ?]
ward the enterprise. The young s
men's Christian Association has developed
a plan known a>) the ;
"Short term simultaneous cam- ,
paigu" whereby big sums of money a
have been raised in a few days by f
engaging the services of a large t
number of leading citizens as vol- a
unteer solicitors for a few hours t
each day during the campaign. The j
members of the church charged with t
the responsibility of raising the i
1200,000.00 have decided to adopt i
his scheme to meet their needs.
There are seven Presbyteries in v
South Carolina and a short term, 0
simultaneous campaign will t
)e conducted in each of j]
hese will be in Pee c
loo 1 ' ?4 * *
. .Mujitij, anu last weeK wnueie
he Presbytery was in session at j v
31enheim they heartily endorsed the j jj
enterprise and the plan and com-1 a
nend the oaipje to the liberality of! q
heir people. ! t
The details of the plan are now | y
>eing carefully worked out by I e
lev. A. C. Bridgman, the financial 1 j]
ecretary of the Joint Committee j u
en Enaowment.
Florence is headquarters for the j p
amipaign in Pee Bee Presbytery. ; p
)n the night of Tuesday, October ! g
!rd, a "Setting up banquet" is to
e held in this city, to be attended a
y every pastor of the presbytery t
ind by one, two or three of the
eading membeis of each of the ti
hirty churches. On the following p
lunday special sermens will be s
>reached by visiting ministers in f,
ill the churches. The councils will v
>egln 'he next day and continue f
hrough Friday. The canvass will t
)e made by selected persons from \
imong the church membership.
Daily at 6 o'clock p. m. each church a
vill telegraph Florence its results r
or the day, these results will be 9
abulated and then mailed to all
he churches and so in this way n
svery church will be kept posted up?n
what each of the other church- <
;s is doing. The campaign prom- p
ses to be a very interesting one;
ind also very fruitful. It is ex- q
)ected that Pee Dee Presbytery J u
vill raise $25,000.00 of the $200,- J q

Arthur Dingle, a negro who was Q
smployed as a waiter at the Sea- b
ihore Hotel on Wrightsville Beach t
luring the summer just closed, was s
irre3ted yesterday at Marion, S. C., ti
vith a very valuable pearl pin in 1
lis possession. Inquiry of Manager t<
Sdgar Ij. Hinton, of the hotel, re- j t<
ulted in the 'nformation that the1 w
in was stolen from Mrs. David n
Svans, of Chicago, a guest at the tl
lotel more than a month ago. An
ff'cer was sent to Marion yesterday h
or Dingle. The trial will be held a
ere as soon as the man is brought tl
iack. How the South Carolina of- t<
icers became aware of the fact o
hat Dingle had the jewelry in his e
ossession, is a mystery, unless he c
fas arrested for some other of- tl
ence and it was then ascertained v>
hat he had the valuable article .
Saturday morning Manager Hin- ii
on received the following tele- E
;rpm from Chief of Police J. K. u
Bradford, of Marion: t(
"Arthur Dingle here with valu- a
-ble pearl pin and other jewelry, p
lays he found 't in your hotel. Can ti
ou inform me?" t!
Manager Hinton Immediately u
vired back a description of the a
>in which had been lost by Mrs.
Svans. In a short time he receiv- t
id the following answer from the c
Ylarion chief of police: v
"Crescent described is the one we s
lave. Dingle has child's locket I
ihain, pin and other insignificant ti
lewela. What must I do w'th Din- l
jle? Will you send for him?" i
Mr. Hinton then communicated t
with Recorder John J. Furlong, a
:iad a warrant issued for the ne- 1
?ro, and the following message was
lent from Recorder Furlong's court: a
"Hold Arthur Dingle. Will send c
nfficer Sunday. Charge larceny of f
brooch. f
It is expected that the prelimi- t
nary investigation into the negro's c
sase will be held some time this t
week. ?
The jewelry lost by Mrs. Evans a
Was Of Verv valnohlo ? o?
Manager Hinfcon is highly pleased t
that It has been recovered. He |
itated that the articles stolen were j
left on the dining tabic while Mrs. f
Evans and her daughter were at \
breakfast one morning several weela 1;
ago. They left the dining room. L
but returned In a few minutes. A c
thorough search failed to locate the j
Jewelry. Dingle was questioned v
closely at the time, as were all the
other waiters. Each and everyone , s
protested that he knew nothing of a
the pin. Mrs. Evans was so anx- I
loiis to recover the lost jewelry that p
she offered a reward of $20 for its; a
recovery. However, nothing was, g
heard of the matter until the tele-. e
sjram of Saturday to Mr. Hinton. p
He has notified Mrs. Evans of the
iew,Ci; oi me property. The j,
jewelry will le forwarded to the
owner as soon as the trial Is held.

Miss Harriet Quimby, who writes
ileces about the theatres for one of
he illustrated weeklies, took her
rusty monoplane in hand yesterday
ifternoon and made the first flight
sver made by a woman in this
ountry. It was at the Richmond
:ounty Agricultural Society's annuil
fair.
She started from the field and
twooped out over the meadowland
iivd the Narrows. Three times she
(hot around this circuit and in the
ive or six minutes she was in the
ilr there was just one minute
vhen Fred Moissant, Mathilda Moi(ant
(brother and sister of John
doisant,) Capt. Tom Bal.dwin, Lee
Hammond and the other thousands
>f people who were watching her
vere about ready to stop breathing,
rhat was when she came to grass
it the end of the ride.
Miss Quimby took it on a drive
rorn 200 or 300 feet, brought up
vithin a few feet of the ground
ind then stubbed the toe of her
Iyer. Bump, bump, she went along
he uneven surface of the infield
i.nd the hop and quick descent were
he kind that airmen don't
ike to see. Sometimes a monoplatis
urns a handspring when it acts
ike that, but Miss Quimby quieted
ts wings and it behaved.
Through the afternoon while the
^ind was whipping out the flags
m the stands Miss Quimby sat in
he Moisant automobile .with the
ilum colored hood of her plum
olored flying suit shading her
yes. She seemed as calm as a
'Oman who sat in front of the j
arachute jumpers' tent a few feet j
way placidly knitting. Miss
luimbv looked up occasionally to
lie whipping flags and her cheeks
fere perhaps a little more flushd
than those of the other women
:i the car. Her fingers locked and
nlocked a queer bracelet.
"I want to make good," she said
o those who came to wish her
nek. "Oh, how 1 want to make
ood!"
A few feet away her instructor,
w. J. Houpert, was saying somehing
about her flying.
"She is the best one I ever
aught," he said. 'I don't say it 4
ecause she is a woman. Yesterday 4
he went up with a Gnome engine
or the first time. 1 was sure she 4
rould break some wood before she ^
inished. They almost always do
he first time. But she didn't 4
Vait till you see her!" 4
Miss Quimby's eyes grew brighter
nd the little drops on her ear- <
ings shook as she laughed when 4
omeone told her about this.
"Well, he never gave me that *
Mich satisfaction," said she. 4
Up came Capt. Tom Baldwin.
Looks bad," said he. "Lee is go- *
ng to try it." <
And try it young Lee Hammond
he Boston boy, who has been going i
p only three months, certainly did. 4
hey rolled out one of the Baldwin
red devils for him and he made J
clean getaway, fluttered just a 4
ttle as he came out of the protecion
of the bluff to winw&rd, and *
tien skimmed away over the wa- 4
ir toward Cone^' island. He was
ack prosen.^y and went up to the *
iL'.Stint car. He told Miss 4
luimby that it was pretty "bloby."
She had been watching him
hrough field glasses, and she said 4
he knew he was working all the
ime. He said he'd try it again. '
'his time he went off over the wa- 4
sr, but on the home trip his moDr
developed crankiness and he
fas glad enough to glide to the ,
leadows, 1,000 feet or so outside
lie field. *
Even before they got a report on 4
is accident, which wasn't serious in
ny way, Capt. Balawin decided
tiat it was time for Miss Quimby 4
a go up. The wind had died pereptibly.
She motored to the lowr
fiel<J, slipped out of her long 4
loak and stood there in puttees and ^
lie waistless haremette of the airroman.
4
"You feel like a monkey crawl- .
ig along the chassis," said she.
lut crawl she did and in a min- 4
te she smiled to Fred Moisant and ^
ossed back her plum colored hood

when she struck the wind was as
mooth as a sloop rounding a bend
n the river. Over the water her
ioo?l spread out behind her. Only
ler head and shoulders were viable.
Bank she came well up over
he field and maybe she didn't get
i yell from the throats down beow.
The second circuit was as clean
s the first. Traffic cops galloped
>ver the grass to clear a landing
or her, but she fooled everybody,
or as she came within striking disance
of the ground up went her
ontrol and she arose again. This
ime she took one hand from the
[ear and waved it with apparently
s much concern as a young woman
hows when going through a counry
town on a fast train.
"Can you beat that?"
"Whee!" chorused her women
riends in the car.
It was after this that Miss Quimly
landed with that hop and skip,
'ike iron filings to a magnet the
rowd swarmed toward her. In a
iffy she vaulted over the framework
of the machine.
