DANIELS DECLINES
USE OF HIS NAME
Raleigh, N. C.—The definite assertion
by Josephus Daniels, former secretary
,,l t( lf . navy, that he was not seeking
l>l. •sciential honors, his request that his
name be not put before the convention
f,,:- its indorsement, and the awarding
to women of four of the nine delegates
at-large to the democratic national eon
vntion were the outstanding events of
Ihe sessions of the state democratic
convention here today.
Mr. Daniels' statement, in the form of
a letter to the Raleigh Daniels-for
President club averted what for a few
moments promised to develop into a
tense situation.
The women won theii spurs as dele
gates-at-large by an overwhelming
majority, which was made practically
unanimous by acclamation when most
of the opposing county delegation n
hastening to get on the band wagon,
( hanged their votes from ‘‘nay’’ to “aye"
on the resolution giving them repre
sentation.
Nothing But Flash
The lightning flash that rips across
the sky creates for the beholder a vision
of illimitable power, and upon this
illusion have been based many compu
tations of the value of the electrical
energy released, and what it could do
if it were harnessed and set to work.
The splendid flash of lightning Is
actually worth about one dollar, :n
terms of modern central station service,
according to a recent series of scien
tific calulations based upon the natural
electrical display.
The prodigious power of a bolt if
lightning is estimated at fifty million
volts, and there is assumed to be an
amperage of one thousand. These give
; total of fifty million kilowatts. But
the lightning flash lasts for less than
one-thousand of one second.
< >n this basis the total amount of
electrical energy developed would be
about ten kilowatt hours, or approxi
mately one dollar’s worth at an average
oomostio rate.

candle light.
SMITH FOR PRESIDENT
ORGANIZATION BEGUN
New Vork-—Foundation of an organi
zation to shape the campaign to obtain
consideration for the name of Governor
Al Smith at the national
convention has lieen begun by
York democrats.
To date, not a penny has been expend
ed in favor of the governor, his support
ers say.
A headquarters with an adequate
staff is to lie opened and workers will be
sent through the country to tell elected
and potential delegates of the new Mes
siah.
Governor Smith is not participating
in the erection of this pre-convention
scaffolding, according to the organizers.

A Short History of
Mechanical Power
By Claud L. Ashley
l‘iAver is an exhibition of energy,
'
whether it is power exerted by man
with the lever or by the great Hydro
Electric machines that light our
and drive our .street < 'ars.
The unit of power is the foot-pound
tier minute. i. e., one pound, through
fine foot of space in a minute, in lXTn
■Janies Wait determined that an aw.
age horse could raise 38 \omii pounds one
foot in a minute, Thus we have • the
tonn "Horse Power" which we use
calculating the power of steam and gas
engines.
The momentous subject of power has
arrested the attention of man from the
earliest times. We find, when the
dght of history breaks upon this earth,
.nan using the simple lever wooden rolls
and inclined planes for moving the huge
stones foi the building of their tombs
and the temples of their Gods.
The first step on the highway of pro
gress was. man’s discovery that he
could convert the force of the wind in
t.o power and drive his ships on the
waters of the sea. Then he began
making crude machines to utilize the
strength of animals and the force of
water for the purpose of irrigating his
fields. There is a machine of this
kind on the banks of the River Nile
that was built by Archimedes 2200
years ago and is still used for pumping
water.
For 2000 years man made but minor
advances in this Science, it is true
that the people of Holland in the 12th
century discovered that they could
make use of site force of the wind to do
light work, such as grinding grain and
lifting water. This discovery was
realized in the windmill. This was
• piite an advance and man. seemingly
content with this achievement, made
but slight progress in the next five
hundred years.
IV hen Cornelious Van Drebel invent
ed the first submarine in 1520 it was
doomed to failure because he had to
depend on man-power to drive it be
neath the sea. Although he
several trips under the Thames river,
taking King James 1 on one of them
he was forced to abandon his expert
inent because of the lack of mechanical
power to drive his boat.
But the world was moving and the.
beginning of the l*th century witness
ed the dawn of the. golden period ot
mechanical inventions—the period in
which we live.
In the year 1 7 o 5 a Scotch blacksmith
by the name of Newcomen invented tin
siteain engine. This w as the starting
point, for it blazed the trail for manv
men of creative ability to follow. Many
improvements were made in this crude
machine until James Watt made it the
first prime mover of the world. It held
this place until L527. Then it was that
Benoit Fourneyron invented the water
turbine—the parent of uur hydro
machines which are rapidly taking the
place of the steam engine, and upon
which, as the coal and oil fields become
exhausted, we will have to depend for
most of our power.

Big National Park

’* M KUChen, president of the club,]
presided, and outlined plans for the
park. He stated that it is proposed to
locate it in Rabun county Georgia and
in Macon county. North Carolina.
“Macon county has already begun
paving a road through the grounds arid
Rabun county will begin shortly,’’ he
said. “Habersham county, Georgia, has
agreed to take up the road at the Rabun
line and extend it through
Habersham to connect with roads from
- x tlanta. This would give a continuous
paved road from the heart of Georgia
into North Carolina” he said.
“Prominent citizens from all sections
of the state have endorsed the national
park idea. We propose to make it one
of the largest in the United Suites, and
it can beome a reality if we will get
behind it. The Habersham club will

READERSHIP NEEDED
The hope of the world lies in good
leadership, »
Peter Witt, a street railway expert,
w ho observes closely and thinks deeply,
says the human race reminds him of t
flower,
The cultivation of the chrysanthemum
from a weed to a gorgeous flower, is
one of the great horticultural aocom
plishinents. This was dpne in about two
human generations.
Now if the chrysanthemum were let]
to itself it would go back to a weed. . . !
possibly within five years. That is the
nature of chrysanthemums and all 1
cultivated flowers,
The human race, says Witt, improves
itself under good leadership. If the
chain of leaders Is unbroken, progress

t p.. chain, we revert in a few genera

HOW MONEY GROWS
Henry M. Flagler is dead, His un
fortunate wife lives in a retreat for the
insane and her fortune climbs. It
amounts now to eleven millions, in
creasing- at the rate of a little more than
a million a year. This shows what
money can do when well taken care of
—even with most liberal allowances to
lawyers, trustees, doctors, nurses, etc.
Henry M. Flagler, whose services to
the nation, in developing Florida, entitle
him to public gratitude,' gave his wife
Standard Oil stocks. The trustees
have bought more of them. Those stocks
are valuable property. Henry Ford says
Standard Oil is the best managed busi
ness in America. His own business is
not so bad. It keeps on hand a cash
balance of two hundred million, just
"in case."—Exchange.
