A German torpedo boat which was
recently engaged with the Japanese

To Destroy All.
Information has been obtained from
a reliable source that last night the
German authorities gave instructions
for the destruction of all railroad
bridges and stations still under their
control along the line running east
and west through Shan-Tung pro
vince. The Germans endeavored fur
ther to transfer all the rolling stock
of this line to the Tien-Tsin-Pukow
road, hut the Chinese board of com
munications issued instructions to
prevent such transfer.
The Russian government, it is re
lated here, has undertaken to find
capital for the Chinese government
for the construction of a railroad line
front Harbin to Blagovieshtehensk,
with a branch to Tsitsikhar, in Man

A recent Tokio despatch says that
in a surprise night attack against the
Japanese before Tsing-Tau the Ger
mans had 48 men killed. This same
despatch said that four Japanese
shells had struck the German gun
boat, litis, a sister ship of the Jaguar,

Columbia, S. C.—The South Caro

Atlanta, Ga.—Delegates attending
the Southeastern Cotton and Food
products Conference which met here
to devise means for reducing cotton
acreage and increasing food crops
production in the South, returned

prsident of the Georgia Chamber of

RATTLER OVER SIX FEET
LONG, 14 RATTLES, SHOT
Waycross.—The biggest snake story
of the year is told here in the killing
of a rattlesnake six feet and seven
inches long, with fourteen rattles, as
reported.
Lewis Anthony discovered the big
snake on his farm and urged his ne
gro workman. Walter Given, to catch
the reptile. The negro was a bit white
around the cheeks but he nervely
agreed to help and the two men went
after his snakeshlp. The rattler tried
to escape, however, and Mr. Anthony
found it necessary to use a shotgun
instead of his hands.
SPENDING MONEY AT HOME
THIS YEAR AND IN THE SOUTH
(From the Philadelphia Ledger).
The usual estimate is that Ameri
cans spend $2,000,000 a week in for
eign lands. That two millions will
now stay at home, because It has no
where to go.
Some of the money will very likely
he spent In American travel. The
"show places’’ throughout the coun
try are already making advertised
bids for tourists.
It would seem as If the railroads
and hotels ought, during the next half
year at leaHt, to get a great deal of
money they never would have seen
had the hundreds of European hotels
and railroads there got that $2,000,-
000 of American cash every week.
It Is also worth while for pessimistic
Americans to remember that keeping
thot money at home will aid very
! powerfully in setting aright our gold
| balances with Europe, because tour
| ists had always to produce the equiv
alent of gold.
When It comes to measuring the 111
i winds of war that two millions a
week for the IT. S. A. Is not to be
Ignored as a mere zephyr.
THE MAGNITUDE OF LATIN
AMERICAN TRADE.
We are almost astonished by the
figures of Latin-American commerce.
] They make us respect many of the
! southern republics and peoples, even
if some other Influences may not he
iso favorable Last year the twenty
southern neighbors of the United
States, through sheer strength and
.capartty, pushed up the total of their
foreign trade to the huge sum of near
ly $8,000,000,000. This was divided
almost equally between exports and
| Imports, with the actual balance of
trade In their favor. Argentina, for
example, with an ambitious, vigorous
and prosperous people numbering
about nine millions of souls, conduct
ed a foreign commerce valued at the
surprising total of $000,000,000, which
makes an average of about SIOO per
head. Chile, a land of achievement
and promise, lying on the Pacific
Coast of South America (ITke the
states of California, Oregon and
Washington, on the Pacific slope of
the United States) covering an areu
of nearly 800,000 square miles, or
more than that of Texas, and direct
jly tributary to the Panama Canal,
bought and sold in foreign commerce
| products valued at nearly $2*2,000,-

“Recovery a
Miracle’*
MISS GILKEY
"I wrote you last September
and described the condition of
my daughter at that time.”
writes Mrs. Ixjura (iillcey, of
Alamo, Ind. “She was then a
nervous wreck, so weak she
could scarcely stand alone, suf
fering: from stomach, liver, kid
ney and womanly troubles and
weighing: only 76 pounds. It
ueemed that there was nothing:
for her but the grave. She be
gan taking ‘Favorite Prescrip
tion' and Pleasant Pellets' at
my first, writing. Has taken
each as prescribed, and today
is the picture of health. She
now weighs 126 pounds—a gain
of just 60 pounds. Her recov
ery is a miracle to the people
of this place as her getting
well was never thought of.”
