Newspaper Page TextTHli; ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: .MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1009. GEORGIANS MAKE FLIGHT IN A NEW AEROPLANE Athens Young Men Skim Over Earth in Newly Con structed Aerial Craft in Which They Hope to Rival Noted Aeronauts. HE WILL ADDRESS HOSTS OF LABOR Athena, Ga., Aug. 30^—'The Inventors made a second attempt at flight In the Eppes-Huff monoplane at Athens this morning. The attempt was unsuccess ful. A strong breeze hampered the flight and on the second trial the ma chine swerved from its course, break ing a wheel and rendering further at tempts Impossible. They will repair the damage and make further attempts soon. The aviators are confident of event ual success. A large crowd witnessed the trial this morning. Lynwood park, on the outskirts of Athens, was the scene of the first flight *t 3 o'clock Saturday morning. Clearly visible in the moonlight, a strange-looking bird-like affair skimmed the ground swiftly, while the sputter ing sound of a powerful engine could be heard for some distance. It was the first trial of the monoplane which has been constructed in Athens by Ben T. Eppes and Zump Huff. Both were aboard and the marhlne more than ful filled the expectations of the young aviators, tho an unforeseen accident cut short the trial before the aeroplane had done more than barely skim the earth for about 100 yards on its first trip. The front wheel of the machine ran into a terrace, which was not clear ly visible in the moonlight, and was put out of commission so that the avia tors were unable to make another start. The machine has created a great deal of interest in the city and the people have been extremely anxious to learn the time when the first trial would be made. It Is built along the order of the monoplane used in the recent aeroplane contests at Hhefms by the Frenchman, Latham, and is equipped with a power ful little motor developing nine horse power. The machine Is slightly larger than that made famous by the Wright brothers and has been constructed en tirely In this city. Messrs. Eppes and Huff were quite satisfied with the showing of their ma chine and will repair the wheel at once and will make another attempt to soar In the air. They are proceeding slowly, tho, and expect to learn the whims of the monoplane completely before at tempting any fancy flights. And if the present design proves as successful as the trial indicated they will Install a more powerful motor and redouble their efforts to complete their machine. Atlanta Will Entertain More Than 100,000Guests Week of November 6-13 Will Be Greatest in History of Southern Automobiledom—Plans Being Perfected For Auto Show and Races. Plans'to entertain upwards of 100,000 rlsltors In Atlanta during the week of November 6-13 are receiving serious consideration, owing to the unprece dented flood of guests the city Is ex pected to welcome for the great auto mobile show and the motor races at the new Autodrome In Hapevllle. It will bo the biggest week Southern automobiledom has ever seen, nor will the Interest by any means be confined to enthusiasts from this section. Northerners and Easterners, keen to see the first exhibition of the great manufacturers 1 1910 models, to be shown In Atlanta, and eager to witness the fastest driving ever attempted on sn oval speedway, will aid and abet the Southern contingent In testing Atlan ta', capacity for entertainment. A Perfect Speedway. The raceB at the Autodrome will be gin November 9 and last until Novem ber 13. Tho sentlng capacity of the grandstands and bleachers at the speedway will aggregate 40,000, and the 'scientific composition of the tracks clay, sand and gravel, with asphalt binder—has attracted International figures like Ralph DcPalma and Bar ney Oldfield to teat their machines over Its two miles of alternate stretches and high banked curves. The speedway, as projected, has been pronounced by ex perts the most perfect In existence, and some of . the greatest driving the world has ever seen will be witnessed there next November. Those who take advantage of the three-cent rates granted by the rail roads to come to Atlanta during the week of November 6-13 will be treated to an automobile show of all that Is best and classiest In motor cars, while si the great new speedway they will be privileged to witness driving the like of which has never before 1 been seen In America. Reservations Asked For, Inquiries for hotel reservations are already coming In from all parts of the country, and Indications point to problem that will demand serious at tention In handling the visitors who will be In the city during the show and races. Immediately following the horse show, which will take place In the Audltorlum-Arraory October 19-33, the mechanics and decorators of the two national automobile associations will take charge of the great building, to prepare It for the automobile show. About the same timet the finishing touches will be- put on the t^o-mlle speedway, the huge grandstands and the handsome club house that mark the .Autodrome, while complete trans portation facilities will have been per fected by the street railway company. The week of November 6-13 will be a memorable one In the history of At lanta achievement.

Mr. Huddleston's card follows: 'To the Editor of The Georgian: "I am not In the hnblt of writing news paper cards, and I approach this one with cousidcratdc doubt ns to whether I should be the one to make answer to the address of Hon.

He urges In one sentence 'that the bond election should not be allowed to go by default,’ while throughout his entire card he shows an exceedingly alarmed state of mind for fear the bonds will be carried, 'Its position Is hard to reconcile. He urj •very qualified elector in the city to regisi at once, as 'Atlanta has not been In such dnnger since Sherman burnt the town.'

"While desiring to see every cltt terod who Is entitled to vote, snd that every good citizen should take part In an election as Important as this, does the • judge not know, as I know, that the larger the registration tho more difficult to t\ns* the bonds? But I do*not object to his urging the c|tl*ens to register.
