County News Items Interesting Facts Gathered During thi Week by Our Regular Correspondents. TURIN. This section seems to have been com pletely overlooked, so far as county road-working; is concerned. We are at a loss to understand why this part of the county is being thus neglected. The roads have been badly washed by late rains, the ditches are choked up with trash and sand, and both need atten tion. Now that crops have been laid by and many hands are idle, would it not bn a good idea to put some of them at work on the roads'/ A number of bridges and causeways are in need of repair also, and the public safety de mands that they be looked after. Work ing the convicts only on certain favored thoroughfares does not set well with citizens and taxpayers in less favored sections. Judging from the number of convic tions] for minor offenses at the late term of the City Court, it appears that negro culprits arraigned before that tribunal "got it in the neck," as usual. It occurs to us that many of these cases are too frivolous for trial—an expense | to the county that might be averted in some way. In many cases also the pen alty imposed seems out of proportion to the gravity of the offense. I’unish the criminally guilty by all means, but let us temper justice with mercy in cases of minor importance. Politics is but little discussed in these parts. So many good men are offering for office the people are puzzled to know whom to vote for. In fact, the war cloud hovering over Europe, and its possible effect upon the price of cot ton, is causing our people more concern than the conflicting claims of the nu merous candidates in the field.

Washington, Aug. 4.—How to pro tect the South and its cotton industry from disastrous losses growing out of the European war was the subject of an important conference held to-day in the office of Senator Hoke Smith. A committee appointed by Senator Smith as chairman of last night’s meet ing of Senators and Representatives from cotton-growing States, met him to-day and discussed the war cloud whose shadow stretches over the entire cotton industry. It was decided to send a sub-commit tee to confer with President Wilson in regard to the situation and others to talk with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Secretary of State Bryan. The difficulty that must be overcome is that of getting cotton to the Euro pean spinners. It is inevitable that many of the mills will be shut down be cause of the war in sections which are in the pathway of the armies, and oth ers because of the demoralization of the force of operatives. But there is no reason to doubt that most of the mills in the Lancashire district of Eng land will be kept open and running full time. From the various departments of the Government the Southerners will seek counsel and advice on these features: First —How to finance the cotton crop during the period of the war. Second —How to transport the crop to foreign markets, in view of the lack of foreign ships. Third—The actual condition of the mills abroad. "The main thing to look after first,” said Senator Hoke Smith, "is the trans portation and consumption of the cot ton. We want to get this cotton con sumed so as not to have a surplus to glut the market. If we can facilitate consumption, the danger will be alle viated.” The committee named to see the President will consist of Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia, Overman of North Carolina, Bryan of Florida, and Rep resentatives Underwood of Alabama, and Lee, of Georgia. Representative Lever, of South Car olina, is chairman of the sub committee which will call on Secretary McAdoo and endeavor to devise some plan to enable the farmers to hold their cotton, or to have it held in warehouses as se curity for loans and sold only as n«?ded. A tremendous impetus has been given by the war to the movement for the development of an American merchant marine. The Alexander bill, which passed the House on yesterday and was favorably considered by a Senate com mittee to-day, will liberalize the navi gation laws. Foreign built ships owned by Americans may be brought under American registry, regardless of how long ago they were constructed, under the new law. The Weeks bill, which the Senate has passed, permits the use of auxiliary na val vessels in the merchant trade to Europe and South America when not needed for naval purposes. Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mis sissippi, offered a bill to-day to permit the Government to buy merchant ships wherever she could obtain them and op erate these ships during t^e present disturbance of business. It is probable that the owners of ships sailing under the flags of governments which are now at war, would be glad to part with them at 50c. on the dollar to save them from entire destruction at the hands of an enemy’s fleet. All these movements in Congress tend one way —that is, to the upbuild ing of a line of American merchantmen to improve the unparalleled opportuni ties for extension of foreign trade now presented to the United States. After the European war of extermi nation is over, the United States will probably be the richest and most pow erful nation on the globe. Senator John Sharp Williams predict ed to-day that American, British, Dutch and Scandinavian merchant ships soon would be operating, because he believed the German fleet would be bottled up in the Baltic and there would be no fear of carrying on commerce. The British cotton mills, he believed, would contin ue to operate, and he also expressed confidence that some of the French mills would remain in operation and need American cotton. New York, Aug. 4.— Steamships fly ing the American flag and engaged in the coastwise trade for the most part are to be offered to the Government for trans-Atlantic service. Offers of many vessels have been sent to Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain at Washing ton. The question of insurance, although the rates may be thought excessive, can be settled after the ships are found, it is said. The most suitable vessels for the transportation trade are the Pa cific liners now engaged in the trade with Asia. These might be brought through the Panama canal. Of vessels already in Atlantic waters the best for a trans-oceanic service would be twenty-three of the Southern Pacific line, all fit for over-ocean sail ing. The vessels of the American line fly the flag of the United States and can continue to cross the ocean in safety. In addition there are two Red Star steamships that are now of American registry—the Finland and the Kroon- land. This makes six ships of the In ternational Mercantile Marine which are immune. There are besides available ships of the Red D. line, the Ward line, the Clyde, Old Dominion, and other lines en gaged in the coastwise trade. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 4.—The small farmer who ships his product to this port will be cared for by local factors. This was definitely decided at a confer ence to-day. The plan is to induce the big planter to hold his product at home until conditions improve. All producers will be advised that there is no market for the staple in Sa vannah now. The entire factorage in terests here propose forming a pool in order to tide over the crisis which will develop with the beginning of another season, and take prompt measures to care for the staple which cannot beheld at points of production. Savannah, Aug. 4.— A serious prob lem confronts transportation lineB, ex porters and business people generally in this territory through the probable con gestion at the port of Savannah of commerce destined for foreign points. Steps are already being taken by railroad officials to prevent the ship ment of staple goods to Savannah. The idea that is being considered is to have all export freight held at its place of origin until the present condition is re lieved. At present the export trade is stagnated. Not a vessel has left for a foreign port in days, and ,the prospect for an early movement is becoming more doubtful every day. The cotton and naval stores people feel the effects of the European disturb ance more keenly perhaps than all oth er interests combined. Familiarity with the situation has caused the gravest concern to the interests handling and financing the movement of these com modities. Can Doubt Sworn Testi mony of Honest Citizens Sometime ago I began the use of your Swamp-Root with the most remarkable results. For years I was almost a wreck and was a great sufferer. The doctors who treated me made me believe that my great sufferings were due to female trouble. I was so bad at times I would faint away, and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took several bottles. I obtained some relief from this, but I was getting weaker all the time; I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and outof bed. After this two friends sent me word to try Swamp-Root, which I did, and I 1 am glad to state that the first dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose I was helped into bed and sleet half the night. I took several bottles of Swamp-Root and I feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doc tors said that 1 could not live three- months. I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times every night. After taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root for two days I was entire ly free from getting up and could sleep soundly. MRS. D. E. HILEMAN. Tunnelton, W. Va.
