Belgians in i error uver importation The Hague, Via London, Nov. 17.?The number of Belgians de ported by the Germans up to date, according to information given to the Associated Press today from a reliable source, ap parently is between 30,000 and 40,000 and they are being de ported at the rate of about 2.000 daily. Antwerp, it was said, has been commanded to furnish 27,000 men, which probably is not more than 10 per cent of its able bodied population, but the com mune of Lessines has lost more than 2,000 from a total population, including: women and chil dren, of 7,000 representing virtually every able bodied man, excepting officials. The entire Belgian population, the narrator said, is terrorized because the people realize they are entirely helpless. Crowds of hysterical women and chilren gather at the railway and recruiting stations and many women at Jemappes threw themselves on the rails to prevent the departure of a tf&in of emigrants and had to be forcibly removed by German soldiers. The men are frequently loaded into cattle cars and spend one or two days on the iourney. They are strongly determined to refuse to work, believing that if they are employed in military works, mey win De compelled to re place Germans and be forced to work directly or indirectlv against the Belgian Army and its Allies. Charlotte Man Killed by Autos Charlotte Olitarvor. Confused by the glare of strong automobile headlights, Lockey Alien, 42 year-old mail carrier residing at 803 Louis avenue, rode a bicycle between two machines going in opposite directions, on East Seventh street, near the corner of Myers, Saturday afternoon at 5:50 o'clock, and was crushed to death. The cars were driveu by W. IV. Bergeron, furniture dealer, residing on the corner of Fox street and Park Drive, and A, 1. Dunn of the Dunn Decorating Company. Allen, who carries the mail through the First Ward, was on his way home at the time of tne accident. According to reports at police headquarters he had just turned from Myers street in to East Seventh at the time of the accident. Bergeron, driving a Hupmobile was going out East Seventh street in the direction of Elizabeth. The machine driven by Dunn was coming toward town. Just as the two cars came almost abrest, Allen is reported to have turned out into the middle of the street. He was caught between the two in a way in which it was impossible for him to extricate himself. A story of the accident as pld at police headquarters by t>oth Bergeron and Dunn is to ?he effect that just as Allen tu/ned in ? front of their machines a big i touring car with powerful headlights hove into sight Minting , both drivers. One receive* the rays from the light direc?'n the eyes and the other was Minded by the reflection on Ms windi shield. k ??????

He was urg~ \r:? ' tu iu ru iu a v ligiuiu reson ior a brief stay, but reach ed the conclusion today that it would be impossible. The Preeident has almost completed the selection of mem bers of the tsriff commission and shipping board created by Congress last session and proba bly will make an announcement of the personnel of both before Congress meets. He has made but little progress, however, in the selection of members of the board to administer the workingmcn's compensation act tor Federal employes. One typewritten page of the annual message to Congress has been finished bv the President and he is devoting all of his o^aic tunc lU IU1S WOTK. W M. U. at Orangeburg Thinking perhaps it would be of interest to some of the Journal readers I will say a few things about the State meeting of the W. M. U. at Orangeburg, November 7 10. In the way of attendance it was the largest ever held, there being 490 delegates enrolled. Then there were large numbers of girls and wo men there from the immediate sections of the town and county. It was indeed an inspiring sight to see such a large number of our women gathered together giving their time and their best thought to the things of the Kingdom of our Christ. It is also a beautiful thing to see some of the finest talent of the Baptist womanhood of South Carolina given to such a noble service. We had fine addresses from the following noted speakers: Dr. Z. T. Cody, Dr. W. T. De rieux, Dr. C. A. Jones and Dr. Weston Bruner. Besides these we had with us two missionaries from China, Rev. B. P. Roach and Miss Lila Mclntyre. The reports for the year's work in South Carolina were very good indeed, showing great progress along all lines. i The Union meets next No vember with the Citadel ( square church in Charleston. The invitation was very heartil> i given and Mayor Hyde's wife expressed the wish that we < would number one thousand I when we gather there, telling us j I too that as we had been meeting j s around at some of the garden < soots of the State she then want ed to invite us to meet in the < garden of Eden. Well, we will < see next November. s During the session of our 5 meeting the announcement | came that Wilson was elected and the demonstration of deep s feeling over that matter in the i liearts of our women was most : touching indeed.

Fdna V, Funderburk, ( R. W. Lemmond Dreams a Big Dream Monroe Journal. Napolean savs imagination rules the world, but to hear Hon. Rube Lemmond relate his novel dream one thinks he is a fit candidate for Bedlam. No one need fear of its speedy realization, for vou never find a combination of dreamer and Midas. Mr. Lemmond's project would take oodles of money, and the gentleman referred to doesn't hesitate to let it be known that he doesn't possess the wealth of a Croesus or of an owner of an El Dorado bonanza. But who would have thought twenty years ago that mail would be carried by aeroplanes, or that messages would be sent from this COUntJv to Tnniin thrnnoli wireless? The old English witch who propliecied that all these things of recent invention would be an actually, was probably only dreaming, just like Mr. Lemmond. Edgar Allen Poe claims to be a singular person in that he "dreamt dreams that no man ever dared dream before." but we venture to sav that no one, even in the wildest flights of fancy, ever conceived of such a daring project as is Mr. Lemmond's. That estimable gentleman says, if he had the money, that he would construct a network of trolley lines cementing the stamping grounds of old Andy Jackson into one compatible mass. Mr. Lemmond would run his car line to Wingate; thence to Marshv^^, and .from there to PagCffBP Another track woulc^^^^^_ shoot out from Monroe to wlSHHHS haw, with links to Bakers, Stouts, Mineral Springs, Weddington and Price's Mill. Another line would be carried up to Unionville; thence to Olive Branch and Euto. Other links would traverse Buford: Lanes Creek would not be ignored, and Mr. Lemmond could possibly be per suaded not to forget Charlotte. Official Statemant of Fair Receipts The paid attendance at the Chesterfield County Fair for 191 (> was as follows: Wednesday, 922; Thursday, 4109; Friday, 223d; Saturday, 1288.

Thursday's crowd was the largest ever assembled in Chesterfield County, it being estimated that there was six or seven thousand people in Chesterfield that lay.
