)DUBLIN IS PROSPEROUS
iN SPITE OF REVOLT
Dublin, Ireland, Dec. s.—The Dub
lin correspondent of the Associated
Press has interviewed the Right Hon.
James Gallegher, Lord Mayor of Dub
lin, in reference to the statements
’which have been made regarding a
'supposed excptional _state of distress
in the city due to the April rebellion,
and its suppression.
’ The lord mayor said: “We are ahso
‘lutely better off this year than last
year, notwithstanding the rebellion.
;There is, as far as I can see, no ex
ceptional distress at all. There is,
on the contrary, a good deal of money
coming into the citf for separatior
allowances for the dependents of the
men, most of them of the working
classes who joined the army. Infor ;
mation obtained from various traders |
in the city enable me to say that trade
is as good if not better than it was
twelve months ago. Moreover, em
ployment has been added to owing
to the amount of munition work done
in the city. We have five or six fac
tories each employing from one hun
dred to six hundred hands. Women are
earning very good wages and Dublin
women have proved very adaptable in
shell making. The result is that the
government is able to turn out shells
in Dublin and in Ireland generally
cheaper -than- it ean do it in England.
“The effect of the rebellion,” said
the lord mayor, “was temporary. A
certain number of people were thrown
out of employment by the destruction
of the premises in which they worked,
but that temporary need was prompt
ly met. I got up a fund which
amounted to five or six thousand
pounds, and the local committee which
had been working for the Prince of
Wales’ fund in relief of war distress
gave me permission to spend from
their resources something like 2,000
pounds in addition. We had the ad
vantage in distributing these funds to
the necessitious of all the machinery
used by the local relief committee. The ’
need was only tmporary; most of the
people who were not employed at that!
time have got employment either
from thir.old or new employment.
Some went to England and secured
cmployment in the munition factories.
“The authorities of the St. Vincent
de Paul Sociefy, who have closer
touch with the poor in the city of
Dublin than any other organization,
{ell me that the number of cases on
their books in the city is exactly the
same today as it was at the begin
ning of October last year.”
GROOM iS 85 AND THE BRIDE 65.
Americus, Dec. s.—Judge Emory

UNCLE SAM IS MAKING
H!S PART OF BIG MAP
Washington, Dec. s—Rapid pro
gress is being made by the TUnited
States in preparing its portion of the
huge world map which was agreed
upcn in 1909 by nearly all the prin
cipal countries. Ry international
agreement the authorities began pre
paring, maps of the entire surface of
the earth to be published on a scale
one-millionth of actual size, or about
one inch to every sixteen miles. All
the maps are to be uniform to shap
and general appearance and are to
have the same conventional signs.
To meet the popular demand in this
ountry for state maps, the United
states geological survey, which has
‘harge of the making of the American
ection of the world map, is preparing
»nd publishing maps of each state on
» larger scale than the world map
‘ections. These state maps are twice
he size or about one inch to every
xight miles. A map of the entire Uni
ed States on that scale would cover
. sheet measuring 20 feet by 31 feet.
The survey already has issued such
naps for 33 states, the latest being
hat of Florida, which is one of the
‘argest of the series. In compiling
he maps every available source of in
‘ormation has been ransacked for ma
erial, and many data never before
vvailable to:the public in any form
lave been procured, so that the maps
>xceed in accuracy any heretofore
published. The new Florida map meas
ires 44 1-2 inches by 61 inches.

SHELL STEEL BOUGHT
FOR EXPORT IN 1917
New York, Dec. s.—Buying of shell
steel for export in 1917, the placing of
rail contracts by domestic railroads
for shipment in 1918 and excited buy
ing of pig iron. for the next year at
rapidly advancing prices, are the most
prominent features of business in the
iron trade industry. Of scarcely less
large orders for other railroad equip
ment, especially for cars and the in
sistent demand for steel to be used
in the construction of ships.
Contracts placed for ignots, billets
and bars designed for the manufacture
of war munitions abroad now are es
timated at 1,300,000 tons for ship-ment
in the second half of 1917. Of the to
tal 600,000 tons are credited to the
United Steel corporation and 700,000
‘ons to independent mills. Including
sales for export in the first half of
next year the entente allied govern
ments now have secured 2,000,000 tons
»f American shell steel to be shipped
n 1917. Sales are reported at 4 to 415
rents per pound.
Domestic railroads have either clos
'd contracts or reserved mill space for
,000,000 tons of standard section rails
or rolling and shipment in 1918 at the
ecent advance in prices.
The southern roads have called for
00,000 tons.
Merchant car builders took orders
‘or nearly 40,000 cars in November
naking a total of 78,500 bought in the
‘ast three months.
Foreign ship yards want 150,000
‘ons of steel plates and shapes and
lomestic boat builders would buy as
much more if it were available. A few
contracts are being closed.
: Novembr sales of pig iron are esti
| mated at 1,800,000 tons, including 500,
1 000 tons during the last week. These
| are the heaviest monthly sales ever
reported. Prices of steel making iron

BURDEN
MRS. DORA UPCHURCH SAYS SHE ‘
SUFFERED FROM ONE DAY’S!
END TO ANOTHER.
“I believe -this medicine has kept
me out of the grave, for to tell you
the plain truth I don’t see how I could
have lived much longer,” said Mrs. Do

“ T had indigestion of the worst
kind,” she continued, “but for nearly

tism than anything else. 1 also suf
fered from female troubles, and all
these troubles together just pulled
me down until I was getting so I could
hardly go at all. To tel you the truth
my life was almost a burden.
“I couldn’t eat anything hardly
without suftfering afterwards, and al
ways after eating I would have a full
ancomfortable feeling. At times 1
would have dizzy spells and would get

feet without danger of falling. The
rheummatism would hurt me so bad I
couldn’t sleep at night, and it jusij
‘geemed like I was in some kind of pain
from one day’s end to another. I felt
tired and worn out and unfit for work,
and couidn’t take interest in anything
on acconut of my condition. No kind
of medicine seemed to do me any good
and I lcst weight and strength con
tinually.
“This is just the condition I was in
when my husband got me to try Tan

TO RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE.
Washington, D. C., Dec. s.—As an
ymergency measure to relieve the
‘reight car shortage the interstate
sommerce commission today authoriz
ad railroads to establish and maintain
Imtil May 1, next, a new progressive
lemurrage scale, higher than the pres
nt flat rate of $1 a day. The scale is
1 compromise hetween the proposed
zraduated schedule in the railroad
ariffs recently suspended and the
rates suggested by shippers’ interests.
The rates will become effective three
lays after each railroad files with the
sommission its formal schedule, prob
\bly within a week. :
Under the new scale, two free days
wre allowed and subsequent charges
wre $1 for the third day, $2 for the
‘ourth day, $3 for the fifth day and $5
‘or the sixth day and each day there
\fter. The rule that charges shall be
suspended on days when weather pre
sents unloading and the socalled “av
srage agreement” by which credit is
\lowed shippers who unload in less
han two free days, are retained.
The suspended schedules provided
'or two free days and charges of $2
‘or the third day, $3 for the fourth, $4
‘or the fifth and $5 for the sixth and
sach day thereafter with the weather
~ule eliminated and the average agree:
nent modified. The National Indus
rial Traffic league, a shippers’ organ
zation, at a hearing Monday, author
zed rates of $1 a day for the third and
‘ourth day, $2 a day for the fifth and
iixth day, and $5 for each day there
after. :
Commissioner McCord, who is direct
ing an investigation of car shortage,
»xplained tonight that the commis
ion’s order was intended only to
stimulate prompt unloading and there
)y remedy the pressing needs of. in
lustries for more cars. .

JBACONTON HAS NUT
-1 CRACKING FACTORY
Pecans Arel Bought by Owner, Ker
nels Removed and Shipped All
' Over the Country.
Albany, Dec. s.—Baconton, a pro
gressive little town in Mitchell couh
ty, hetween Albany and Camilla, is
headquarters for an extensivie new
industry that bids afri to grow into
| even greater propostions. This new
enterprise his put more than a quarter
of, a million dollars into the pockets
of the people living in and near Bacon
ton this fall. F. H. Lewis, a prominent
pecan grower of Pascagoula, Miss,
came here last spring and bought up
‘the crops of several large growers in
‘the Albany pecan district. He- has
opened a nut cracking industry in Ba
conton and has dozens of laborers,
men and women, engaged in cracking
pecans, sorting the kernels and pack-‘
ing the products for shipment all over!
the United States. More than 300.000!
pounds of pecans have been purchased
by Mr. Lewis, and all these will be
sracked, graded and shipped. Mr.
Lewis will build a nut-cracking and
zrading factory in Baconton, with
warehouse facilities, and make this
wn establishment industry for Bacon-i
ton. |
One large planter in Baconton ex
pressed the attitude of that section to
wvard this new industry as follows:
‘When we realize what the boll wee
vil means to us, those of us who have
bearing pecan groves and have receiv
>d good money for our pecans this
vear, with the assurance that there
will be a ready market for the in
reased crop that we may have rea
son to expect next year and every year
1s the yield grows with the age of
‘he trees, get a right comfortable feel
‘ng out of the situation.
CHINA AWAKENS WITH
A NATIONAL FEELING
Shanghia, Dec. s.—Recent celebra
ions throughout China of the fifth
inniversary of the republic indicates
learly that the Chinese are undoubt
>dly developing a national conscious
-less. Lantern parades and patriotic
meetings were held even in remote sec
‘ions. The celebrations were not fore
‘ed upon the public by official orders,
1s was the cast frequently under
‘Yuan Shi-kai's regime.
Regret concerning the present
troubled political situation character
ized the general comment of Chinese
newspapers and Chinese speakers on
the occasion of the anniversary cele
bration.
During the five years of its life the
‘epublic has had two important rev
slutions in addition to the movement
which resulted in the overthrow of
‘he Manchu dynasty. There have also
heen many local movements of minor
mportance which resulted in consid
srable loss of life and property. ~
Bandit leaders and unscrpulous
soliticians have exploited various
yarts of the country, and there has
heen corruption to a degree not ex
celled by the Manchus. However,.
hroughout all this disorder and
‘hroughout the present struggle be
‘ween parliamentarians and the mili
ary party, it has been possible to de
ect a growing love of independence
and of country, which has finally re
sulted in the firm establishment of
President Li Yuan-hung in the affec
ions of the public.
Minor politicians, leaders of va
rious political factions are carrying on
a bitter struggle, but Li Yuan-hung
stands clearly above these factional
fights, and is generally regarded by
the Chinese people as an absolutely
honest and patriotic leader.
