TWO Shootings of Saturday Night Regarded As Examples of What May Happen At Any Time With Alleys in City Not Lighted Th<» aborting.** of Saturday night have agitated the question of a more atrlct enforcement of the "pistol-to tinjc'* law and have started the people to talking not only about it, but about the matter o equipping certain alleye and streets in the city with electric lights, where, at present, almost to tal darkness prevails Moreover, the matter of furnishing policemen with flash lights is being talked about, too. Tho desperate and daring acts of certain negroes here Saturday night, oik* of whom the police have been suc cessful in capturing, are regarded as examples of what may happen at any time under present conditions, with cert.*»ln parts of the city inad«*quately lighted. According to the chief of police him self, one can hardly see his hand be fore his face midway d*»wn Boyd's alley, where one of hia own men was SAYS GARDEN OF EDEN IS IN CHINESE TURKESTAN Tokyo.—Tse Tsan Tab a Chinese ftrholsr of great reputation through out the Far Hast, has Just written a book in which he attempts, with a very convincing show of authority, to prove Hint the (Snrdcn of Krien Is not in Armenia or in the Kuphrates valley, hut in Chinese Turkestan, and that the Chinese as well as all other races of mankind originated there. He also proves In this book that the Chinese story of the flood is the same as the story which is contained In ConcHis The author, who bus pub lished his book in Chinese, hopes that hia researches will result in the Chi ners accepting the Bible as the his tory not only of other races but of their own as well. WAR LIKELyUaVE SERIOUS EFFECT ON LONDON CLUBS London.—The war is likely to have a arrious effect on rluh membership 1n London, and this Is not only be cause of the many who have Joined the colors and may n«»t speedily again cojoy club privileges, but because of the pinch that is already being felt by the unusually well to do classes. A large number of resist ations are an nounced while there are relatively few candidates for membership, it Is al ready tiring sugg< sted to the execu tives of the various large clubs that It would be wise to take the hull by ONLY ONE "Bromo Quinine.” that it g* _ 1 axative jfrromo Quinine onbo *- 25c £uret a Cold In One Day.

An ad now and then is good but it’s the well planned and carefully executed campaign, cov ering a period of time that brings the BIG business. You can’t cut a giant oak down with one stroke of the ax—you must keep on chopping to accomplish anything. If it takes sixty strokes to fell a tree and you deliver fifty-eight and quit, you have wasted your time and effort without result It is the last strokes on top of the other fifty-eight pre paratory strokes that do the busi ness. It’s exactly similar with advertising —each ad makes a few chips fly, but it takes all the strokes together to bring home the oord wood. „,, JEFF’S BLIND MAN SIMPLY MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE IN HIS BULLING I 1 : | |. 1 r 1 7 'N \ nos a AM, OU>) , . „ x ) | fallow, via. ewe / .

SOUTH - CAROLINA IS FIRST This Btate Has Largest Percentage of Wheat Increase in Union. Clemson College—South Carolina leads nil the states of the Union In the percentage of Increase In acreage of winter wheat over last year, accord ing to statistics received at Clemson College from the United States De partment nf Agriculture. On Decem ber Ist, when the government's esti mates were made, the wheat acreage In South Carolina was three times as (treat as that of last year, which if. to say that the Increase amounts to 200 per cent. This la the largest percent age of Increase In winter wheat acre age In the entire United States, the average of Increase for the whole country hlng only about 11 per cent. The acreage In wheat last year In this state was 82,000 acres and the government's estimate of the acreage planted this season, up to December Ist. Is 248,000 acres. Reports receiv ed nt Clemson since December Ist wnrrant the belief that the final fig ures will show nearly 300,000 acres In South Carolina to have been sown to wheat this season. The figures are based on reports from the county THE COTTON SITUATION In a rattier dull and uninteresting market the Important event of the week In cotton circles was the pub lit ut'nn of the Census Bureau's report on domestic consumption for the month of December. The figure* giv en were 450.5H4 halcn, which Is within five thousand hales of thoso for the corrcepomlln* month a year ago. The gain over November was substantial, consumption during that month hav ing been 421,000 hales. From tills and other indications tho opinion seems to be quite general that subsequent gov ernment statistics on consumption will show other Increases. Stocks report ed In manufacturing establishments Increased moderately over last month but are still approximately 400.000 bales under those of the previous sea son. Domestic manufacturers have not been accumulating cotton even at the low prices, and If the demand for goods continues to Improve they will be com pelled to enter the market before loim for large volumes. One extremely In teresting Item of the report was the statement that 30,431 bales of llnten were exported In December. This com pares with no exports for the sums month In the previous year. It Is as sumed from this that llnters have been bought by the belligerent nations to he converted into guncotton, and thus a net outlet has been found for the large volume of llnters which this year's record growth unquestionab'y has produced.

One of the most gratifying features of the wheat report of the government Is that the condition of the crop in South Carolina on December Ist was 96, four points above the ten-year average, and the weather since then has been excellent for the grain. In view of this, with continued favorable con ditions, the average yield of the state should be larger than In normal years.

TOY "PRINCETON TIGER IS GIVEN TO PRESIDENT FOR WHITE HOUSE BABY Washington,— A toy Princeton Tiger for the Sayre baby was given to the president today by a committee from the Princeton Alumni Association. "The baby’s father Is a Williams College man,” said the president, "and therefore I don’t know whether I should accept a Princeton Tiger for him.” "Rut his mother came from Prince ton," replied Edgar Allen Poe, attor ney general of Maryland. ’’The boy must be sent to Princeton for the sake of his mother and grandfather.” BELGIAN RELIEF STEAMER DISABLED; RUDDER LOST Halifax, N.

Washington.—While plans for Presi dent Wilson’s trip to the Panama ca nal and Pacific coast are proceeding, the president made it clear to callers today that conditions at home or abroad might prevent his departure. Invitations to speak on t-he way back from San Francisco are being an swered with the statement that it may be Impossible for the president to leave Washington at all. cently have been In the direction of further improvement. The advance in raw cotton to the neighborhood of 8 cents, with higher figures for distant months, gives ground for the expecta tion of a more normal development In the South. The change has had a strengthening effect on the cotton goods market. An important feature of the week was the advance of one quarter of n cent a yard on prominent brands of bleached goods.” Marshall Field and Company. In their most recent report, are also of an optimistic opinion. They say: ‘‘An excellent volume of orders has been r.-ceived for domestic cotton cloths and prints since prices were lowered, Indicating that stocks throughout the country are low. That the bottom has been touched In cotton goods prices is evidenced by the fnet that advances are already being asked by manufac turers on some well known lines, such as bleached muslins and standard sta ple prints.” Fundamentally the situation has not changed, the controlling factors con tinue to be the heavy export move ment and the absence of any large hedge selling. Demand from the con tinent. particularly Germany, contin ues, and this Is making a strong im pression on the trade for the reason that prices for spots, which are ma terially higher than when foreign ae cumulation first set In, do not seem to act as a deterrent. Good absorp tion of an Investment character con tinues, and although the advance which has taken plnce would appear to Justify some hesitation, there la nothing In the situation at the moment that would seem to warrant more than a moderate reaction In prices. “Bull” Durham an International Favorite Smokers of experience and discrimination the world over obtain year-’round, daily enjoyment from n Bull 11 Durham tobacco.
