MOTORLESS PLANES IN
CONTEST FOR HONORS
Airplanes Without So Much as “Fliv
ver Engine” Will Meet in Contest.
French Feasant Finds It Hard to
Believe—“ Glider Event Attracts
Much Attention.
Clermont Ferrand, France, Aug 5.
—(By the Associated Press). —Op-
timism over the future of motorless
hying prevails at Camp Mouillard,
where the “glider” contests under the
auspices of the First International Ex
perimental Congress of motorless air
planes will begin tomorrow, to con
tinue until August 20.
The builders, pilots and officials liv
ing in the canvas city near the top of
Mount Combegrasse are sanguine that
machines propelled by manpower or
merely by the wind are destined to
make as much progress in the next
twenty years as the gasoline-motored
planes have achieved since the Wright
brothers made their test flights at Kit
ty Hawk, N. C.
General Large, commanding the
Thirteenth army corps, whose sol
diers are keeping law and order at the
camp, pointing to a “glider” piloted
by Lieutenant Thoret, maneuvering
3;000 feet above the camp—dipping,
looping and volplaining said:
“Anyone prophesying this fifteen
years ago would have been interned
in a lunatic asylum.”
A pessimistic note, however, was
struck by a French peasant harvest
ing in a nearby field, who practically
repeated the words ascribed to two
Ohio farmers upon reading of the
Wright brothers’ first short hops. One
said, as he scanned the big headlines
in the newspaper he had just taken
from the R. F. D. box at he cross
roads, declared wih finality:
“No man will every fly like a bird.
And he other echoing the sentiment
with:
“And if a man ever does, he won’t
sail from Dayton, Ohio, by heck!”
What the French peasant said, after
watching a Cuendenton-Chardou ma
chine fly for four minutes, was:
“It cannot be done.” And, prod
ding his team of oxen, he lumbered
away.
Fifteen of the motorless airplanes
which are entered in the contests have
arrived and some of the machines al
ready have made successful unoffi
cial flights. An American monoplane
entered by the Aeronautical Engineer
ing Society is being held up in some
railroad yard between Clermont Fer
rand and Havre, from which latter
port it was shipped eight days ago.
The gliders alreaay at Camp Mouil
lard include machines with the flap
per wings of the bat and types re
sembling the flying fish whfeh are
propelled by human muscular motive
power and wind-propelled sailing
planes with canvas wings, mobile and
sationary. The machines are of t£e
monoplane, biplane and triplane types.
Those with stationary wings are call
ed “stints” and those with mobile
wings, “flappers.”
A Swiss-designed stationary thick
winged monoplane remained in the
air fou r minutes yesterday, covering
about a mile and three-quarters in a
half circle with a loss in altitude of
about 300 feet. •
A “flapper” parasol machine cov
ered about 200 yards at an altitude
averaging between six and ten feet.
It landed because the human motor
gave out. The wings of this machine
are worked by a contrivance some
thing simila rto that used on the chain
less bicycle.
Most of the pilots and builders on
the ground express the detrmination
to break the record for duration in
motorless flight held by Hartli of Ger
many. This record i»* twenty-one
minutes. One hundred thousand
francs will be distributed among the
winners.

Atlanta, Ga., August B.—Mr. J. J.
J. Cox, of Waynesboro, and Mr. G. W.
Hendricks, of Sardis are enrolled as
students in the Georgia Tech sum
mer school, according to the announce
ment today of Pro. A. B. Morton, dean
of the summer school, who has com
pleted the resgisteration of the stu
dents. This year Georgia Tech has
the largest summer school in its
history, a total of 360 students being
enrolled. In addition to the summer
school in engineering branches 140
students are registered in the sum
mer school of commerce, according
to Dean J. M. Watters. A large pro
portion of the commercial students
are rehabilitation students sent to
Tech from colleges all over he South
because of the higher grade of work
being given there.
Most of the students attending Tech
summer school are students of last
year who are taking additional work
during the summer school sessions
and the twenty-second under prof.
Morton, who is professor of Mathe
matics at Teen. A faculty of fifteen,
the largest ever remaining for sum

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER
(Savannah oCtton Factorage Co.)
Our letter of Tuesday, August Ist,
gave the Government’s condition re
port as of July 25th, 70.8, indicating
a cotton crop of 11,449,000 bales. On
that day the New York future mar
ket advanced nearly 2c, per pound,
closing at a net gain of 105 to 110
points. of liquidation and
profit-takin* set in following the re
ports, and the market eased off dur
ing the remainder of the week. Fail
ure to settle the coal and rail strikes
encouraged selling by some Southern
ers and also by profession traders
The outlook today is that both strik
ers will b e settled at an early date.
This together with continued dry, hot
weather in the West, should have a
stimulating effecct on the market be
fore August 15th, unless the demand
is insufficient to take care of offer
ings.
August is the boll weevil month.
The September Ist condition report
will indicate the approximate damage,
and we predict higher prices after
that date.
Mail order houses, wholesalers and
others report a steady improvement
should continue, for the following rea
sons:
Liquidation in every line is about
over.
Unemployment has decreased to nor
mal.
Cotton stocks have decreased to
pre-war levels.
This season’s cotton crop of 10 to
11 million bales should sell for 20c or
ever, putting mllions of dollars more
into circulation.
“Uncle Sam” s loaning money to as
sist in the orderly marketing of cot
ton, instead of rushing it on the mar
ket as rapidly os picked.
Better times appear to be not far
distant. Let’s be prepared to enjoy
the prosperity which is bound to
come.

CROP CONDITIONS
IN COTTON BELT
Progress in Georgia—Too Wtet in
Some Section Drouth in Other.
Washington, D. C. Aug. 9.—With
rain falling only in a few northern
section of Texas and in northern and
eastern parts of Oklahoma, the
drought in the western division of
the cotton belt was intensified during
the week ending yesterday, according
to the weekly review of weather and
crop conditions issued today by the
Department of Agricultuer.
“Rainfall was mostyy light in the
central and eastern portions of the
belt.’’ the statement continued, “al
though it continued too wet in a few
localities.” Temperatures were gen
erally somewhat above normal in the
central and eastern cotton states, but
were much above normal in Oklaho
ma and Texas.
“Cotton made very good progress
in North Carolina and showed improve
ment in some eastern localities
where it had been too wet. While
there was too much rain in some east
central and southern portions of
South Carolina, the weather was gen
erally favorable for growth in that
state, but the plants were rather sap
The crop made very good progress in
Georgia, except in a few localities,
where considerable shedding was re
ported; conditions have been unfav
orable for a top-crop in the southern
portion, although *the plants are fruit
ing well in the northern section.
“Cotton made poor to only fair
progress in Mississippi and Alabama,
but fairly good in Tennessee; rain
was needed in much of Alabama and
Tennessee. Heavy local rains were
unfavorable in some central and
western portions of Arkansas, but the
warm weather and generally light
ranifall in that state were favorable.
There was considerable rainfall in
Louisiana which favored weevil acti
vity and considerable shedding was
reported from the northwestern por
tion ofnhe state.
“Under the influence of dry hot
weather cotton made generally poor
showing in Oklahoma, with deteriora
tion in the extreme southwestern por
tion of Oklahoma. These conditions
caused shedding, although they were
favorable for holding the weevil in

“Cotton bolls were opening rapidly
in Texas and Georgia and picking pro

TO MAKE NATIONAL
PARK NEAR LAWTON
Chamber of Commerce of Milieu and
Jenkins County Backing Movement
to Develop Historic Site.
Millen, Ga., August B. —W .R. Crites
secretary of the Millen and Jenkins
County Chamber of Commerce, is en
deavoring to interest the proper au
thorities in Washington in the develop
ment of the site of the old Lawton
ville prison pen and system of forts
at Magnolia Springs into a national
park. Lettters have been written to
Senator Watson, Senator Harris and
Representative J. W. Overstreet in
the hope of securing their active as
sistance in the matter.
The location of Magnolia Springs
with its deep wooded valley and high
bluffs lends itself admirably to the
uses of the landscape artist and could
be made into one of the most beauti
ful government parks in all the South
Its historical associations would make
it of sentimental value to the entire
country.
While the line of the old prison
stockade is particularly obliterated
the remains of one of the posts can
be seen in the bottom of a deep pool
in the clear stream leading from the
spring.
The two fords overlooking the pris
on could be reconstructed at no great
expense and would give an added in
terest to the project. The embank
ments are still intact and the places
where the cannon were mounted can
be plainly seen.
While the bodies were all removed
from the old cemetery years ago the
little mounds are still in evidence.
Suitable monuments could be erected
In addition there is the wonderful
perpetual Magnolia Springs running
through the valley at the foot of the
bluff on which the forts are found.
This spring and its- outlet could be
utilized in the beautifying plan for
artificial lakes and lagoon. These
lakes could be stocked with fish,
which owing to the extreme clearness
of the water .could be seen and stu
died at any depth.
This park is directly in line with
Sherman's march to the sea and
would be of great interest to the
tourists.
In his efforts to secure this govern
ment appropriation the secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce desires the
assistance of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, the American Le
gion, the Woman’s Club, the state
papers and in fact all the civic bodies
of the state.

So often we need to be introduced
to our home folks-. We know the
Governor, the Sheriff, and the court
Judges, but too often there are men in
our midst that play an important part
in the affairs of the District and the
•county that we do not know as being
the driving forces of important move
ments.
Over at Statesboro, in the First Con
gressional District, is located the Ag

forces for good in our midst. It of
fers a first class high school educa

duplicated in the District. In every
county in the District there is a man
who stands as the representative of
this educational institution of the
State. Who is he in this county?
Who is the local man that can advise
me at first hand whether to go to the
Agricultural School?
The Citizen is glad to present to you
that man—Mr. E. H. Blount, Waynes

had brought in thq third bale Wed
nesday of this week was the begin

WOMAN MOTORIST NOW MORE
COMMON THAN EVER
The number of women driving cars
these days may be counted «by the
score. The female of the species even
is projecting into the ranks of the
jitney and bus drivers and the hand
that rocks the cradle is proving as
steady at the wheel.
Women may also be found in he
automobile school learning all about
crank shafts, ignition and other de
tails. An interesting fact in his con
nection is brought out by a recent
summary compiled by the Firestone
company. It shows that women are
much less often called into court for
disregarding motor ordinances or
speed laws and the figures prove that
lady chauffeurs meet with far less
accidents than do men.
