WONDERFUL FLIGHT AT
EUFAULR, FLA., BY BEECH
Went Up In His Aeroplane While Thunder
storm Raged and Wind Blowing Forty
Miles an Hour. This Famous Aviator Will
Fly In Marietta on Saturday, Apil 25th.
Aviator Beech and his assistant
Mr. Salmon arrived here Monday
and the work of preparing for the
airship flights which will take place
in Marietta on next Saturday began
immediately, Mr. H. V. Manning,
who is always ready to help bring
entertainment to Marietta, took the
party all over the city so that the
best place for a start might be se
cured.
One of the best accounts of the
dangers of an aeroplane flight and
of the daring of Mr. Beech is found
by the editor in the Eufaula Citizen,
of Eufaula, Ala., at which place Mr,
Beech made a successful flight in a
raging thunderstorm.
The account is as follows:
“For the first time in its history
Eufaula had yesterday a demontra
tion of man’s latest achievement-—-
his domination of the air. To the nn
initiated it was a very interesting
sight. To the initiated it was a won
derful performance. Those of the
spectators who were technical mvn,j
those who had in their travels wit
nessed aeroplane flights elsowh(-re,%
and those whe are associated with;
the intrepid aviator looked anxious- |
ly at the fast gathering, black, featn
er-edged clouds the sure lmrbingemi
of wind and rain, as the preparations
for the flight were finished. As Avia- '
tor Beech stepped into his fragile!
vehicle of the air the wind had at-l
tained a velocity of thirty miles an
hour. But there was no hesitation in
his manner as he gave instructions‘
for the aeroplane to be held while the
motor was started and turned witnl
barking insistence to its uttermost
capacity. Only the awful interest dis
played by a woman--the aviatom!
wife—whose wife was pale and'
drawn,indicated the peril of the im-!
pending flight. “Why don't you stop
him” inquired a sympathizer of the
agonized wife. “You might just as‘
well try to stop that cloud from pass
ing over as to try to stop my husband
from flying when the spectators have !
been told to expect a flight,” she re
plied resignedly. i
“The wind inereased. The sun had
hidden his dazzling face. It was get- |
ting darker every minute. Thunder |
mingled its roar with the barking
of the motor as the bold bird-man
gave the signal to release his tugging
bird. |
“Like an arrow shot from a bow
the frail bark shot forward bound
ing across the tops of furrows of the
rough field. Suddenly the mass of
wires, wood, fabric, and steel-—a solid
half ton, with its human accessory
bounded into the air. At almost the
same instant the storm broke and a
battle was precipitated such as had
rarely been witnessed before in his
tory——battle between man and the
latest element he has mastered, when
that element was angry—very angry
and the men won. |
“The aeroplane was flung hither
and thither like a feather in a mael
strom. Only by its general direction
of travelling in a circle could it be
seen that the aircraft was under
control. It would rise like a balloon
for seven or eight hundred feet then
turn almost over, then dive swiftly,
and madly toward the earth. Some
times the motor was heard, sounding
like a rapid firing Maxim gun: at
other times its noise would be drown
ed by thunder. Again it was dif‘i
cult to say which was the roar of the
motor and which was that of its anu
tagonist. Finally the acroplane wes
seen to dive. The spectators sout
tied in all directions. But there was
no actual danger. The aerop'ane
siraightened out and settled gradua!-
1v in the face of the now vio!':n¢ wind
and touched the ground as lightly
as a bird, stopping almost immo>-
diately. The mechanicians imme
diately seized the now lifeless ma
chine to prevent the wind from
wreaking a tardy vengeance on it and
the spectators seized the aviator to
smother him with congratulations
for his unexcellable daring.
““Seen afterwards by a representa
tive of the Eufaula Citizen, Beech
gave out the following: “It has al
ways been my boast that I have nev
er failed my spectators. In every
crowd there is always some one who
has never seen a flight and not a
few who still believe mechani
cal flight impossible. If then a
flight is not attempted, an aviator
is charged with cowardice and even
fraud by people who are ignorant of
the conditions to be overcome. On
the other hand the same class of peo
ple think that I take my life in my
hands every flight I make,. when, as
a matter of fact, I run no extraordin
"ary risk when the weather’s fine, °f
! the machine is in good condition.
“The point of all this is that I do
not take extraordinary risks, 1 have
acquired considerable skill in driving
an aeroplane through persistently
studying the difficulties mechanical
land meteorological, and putting *he
theories thus obtained through the
tests of hard practice. So when the
time comes to make a flight I care
{ fully study all conditions, the air,
g the aeroplane, the topography. G en
erally the real risk to be undertaken
fis that of attaining the first three
[ hundred feet altitude. So the risk is
,'is measured by the amount of ob
; struction there is to making a land
‘ ing while attaining that altitude. 1f
| there are no obstructions there is lit
~tle risk, and vice versa.
.; “Regarding my flight here, I must
gay it was the most dangerous I have
ever undertaken, 1 frequently had
1o dive with full power on to attain
a speed of a hundred miles an hour
before there was sufficient pressure
under the auxiliary plans to pruvonfl
the aeroplane from being overturned. ‘
Had I been able to foresee the vio
lence of the storm 1 should not have
attempted the flight. As it is the
people of Kufaula can say in the fu
ture that they have seen one of the
most spectacular successful flights
ever attempted.”

strikes and Governor Brown has tak

he promises to lay it before the pub

BRCOKS COUNTY GEQRGIA
MAPRKETS ITS OWN BACON
Quitman, Ga., April 21.—Spread
ing like the mrasles—the story of
the twentyv-two wagon loads of home
cured bacon brought to market in
one day by Brooks county farmers,
which was given such wide publicity
in the production by the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce of the letter
from editor Royal Daniel of the Quit
man Free Press to President Charles
J. Haden of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, is making Brooks county
known throughout the United States.
The letter has been carried as a
news-story by papers all over Geor
gia and by Agricultural journals
throughout America, and has been
made the subject of editorials by
many papers. Farm and Firesid»,
of Springfield, Ohio, says of it:
“‘Brooks County, Georgia, exports
bacon. Where can another county
in the United States be found which
does the same, unless it possesses a
packing house? When one thinks
of the millions of acres in the South
capable of producing cheap pork the
figures are startling.”
President Haden, of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, whose address
in Quitman on the 16th to the ‘‘get
together’” banquet of farmers and
business Imen was so highly appre
ciated that a citizen's petition was
circluated next day asking him to
return and repeat the address to a
mass meeting, says that every county
in Georgia, by proper effort and by
co-operation with the representa
tives of the United Burcau of Ani
mal Industry in establishing Boys’
Pig Clubs can duplicate the record
of Brooks county; and that one of
the principal objects of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce is to get far
mers and business men together in
harmonious co-operation, througn
county-wide chambers of commerce,
to insure the upbuilding of agricul
ture and cattle-raising in order that
$60,000,000, which it is said Geor
gia spends annually for meats raised
in other states may be kept at home.

many politicians that he will enter
either for the Senate or for the Gov
ernorship. As it is a question of en
forcing the laws of the State it 1s
thought most likely that he will run
for Governor if he runs at all. If he
is elected he will have the distinction
of having served three terms as Gov
ernor. He has sprung the paramount
issue of the campaign. Governor
Brown has not given the slightest
intimation of his plans. Every sug
