RIVULETS OF BLOOD ON
BATTLEFIL OF LIEGE
Arriving Refugee Tells of Terrible Sights. Crimson Spat
tered Bushes Eight Feet High. Trenches Filled to Top
With German Dead.
New York.—The battlefield of Liege
was vividly described today by Miss
Anna Laing, a graduate nurse of the
Bridgepprt, Conn., hospital, a pas
senger on the steamer Ryndam from
Rotterdam.
"I was in Liege when the fight first
started," said Miss Laing. “Several
Belgian officers who were friends of
mine took me to a house wheru I was
practically out of the range of the
shells that were being hurled at the
city by the Germans. During the
evening the Germans withdrew for
some reason and during the lull in the
lighting two of the Belgian officers
invited me to go out over the field
where the heaviest of the fighting
had taken place.
Literally Soaked.
“The ground* was literally soaked
with blood and the bodies of horses
and 'men lay everywhere. There was
many a place where blood had flow

and earthworks and its course was
plainly marked. Some bushes were

OPEN LETTER
To Our Customers in Georgia
and South Carolina
The present European war situation has disorganized
the financial world, and is having its effect upon business in
our section, caused principally by the uncertain basis upon
which the present cotton crop must be financed and market
ed. We sire now going through a “reconstruction period” and
our country will soon adjust itself to a sound and stable basis
upon which we will all do business, live and prosper.
With an abiding faith in the value of cotton we are wil
ling to do business on a COTTON STANDARD at 10c per
pound, on all sales to cotton producers or shippers, made
after Sept. Ist, 1914.
In accepting cotton at 10c per pound in payment for
Remington, Smith Preipier and Monarch Typewriters we
require that it be on basis of Augusta*middling and delivered
to us f. o. b. Augusta, Ga.
Yours truly,

Miss Laing helped dress the wounds
of many Belgian soldiers. She left
the citty before it was captured by
the Germans, however, and managed
to make her way to Rotterdam, where
she boarded the ship that brought
her to New York today.

Four Rich Belgians

London, 3:10 a. nr—A dispatch to
the Express from the Hague says the
four richest men in Belgium have

four men are Blrnest Holvay, the al
kaloid king; Baron Lambert, the Bel
gian representative of the Kothschllds,
Raoul Waroucque, (lie mine owner,
and Baron Empain, the railway mag
nate.
“Had not this guarantee been giv
en” says the correspondent, "Brussels
would probably have been treated as
Louvain was. Big guns were mount
ed in front of the palace ready for
bombardment.”
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
“My attention was first called to
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
lllarrhoea Remedy as much as twelve
years ago. At that time T was se

One dose of this remedy checked the
trouble,” writes Mrs. C. W. Florence,

The Telephone a Community Builder
A TELEPHONE system, like the street cars, is an aid to the
city’s growth and suburban development. It makes it con
venient for the city-employed man to live in the suburbs or
country.
“Handy to business” now means a pretty suburban resi
dence or a home in the real country.
Factories are built where land is cheap.
The population of the over-crowded cities flows out into the
country, relieving unsanitary conditions and improving the gen
eral health of the community.
The telephone has brought the city and country closer to
gether.
The Bell Telephone system is aiding in the upbuilding and
growth of 70,000 communities, and giving impetus to the “back
to the land” movement.
