Easy Way to Break Severest Cough No matter how long you have had a persistent, weakening cough?no mat ter how many remedies you have tried without success?you can usually net relief in ritaptly, and often relieve tho entlrccpugh con dition in 24 hours, by a very simple' method. The method is bamrd on a remarkable pre scription known as Dr. Kins'* New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it In your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with Jvater. The prescription has a double action, t not only soothes and heals soreness and ir ritation. but it Quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the di rect cause of the coughing. '1 he propmt re lief seems almost magical, and the quickness with which the whole cough condition disao pssrs is often simply amazing. There is noth ing better (or coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, bronchialasthms,hoarseness,and almost every throat irritation.

Ask for King.ntree Hank Clotted Kingstree, Jan. 19.?A calamity of inestimable magnitude struck this town and community Saturday when the Bank of Williamsburg closed its doors about 11 o'clock. The Bank of Williamsburg is the second oldest bank in the county and was regarded until recently as the strongest finan cial institution in the county with as sets of over $(>00,000, including capi tal stock of $100,000. The paper held by the bank is said to bo good and that depositors will not lose a dollar of their money. A run on the bank by its largest depositors is al leged to be the primary cause of the bank's failure. The branch bank maintained at Hemingway by the Bank of Williamsburg has also closed.

C. ? 10-YEAR-C! n PANAMA CANAL PASSES SUEZ World'* Greatest Artificial Intcvoceanic Waterway, Washington.?"Ton year* old In Au gust, ilu1 I'liiiamu canal Is such a Iu.-i?> youngster thut already it Is outgrow* Iua lis original Clothes and has Undo Sum wondering If it will need larger t-'urinriil s. "in imlllc handled It Ims passed middle-aged, flfty-llve-yeur <?ld Suez canal and Ih now the world's greatest artificial Interoeeanlc waterway. "At the present rate of traffic growth ,the canal will have to he great ly enlarged before It Is three decades older. "Such Is a thumb-nail sketch of the accomplishments of America's 'Big Ditch' on the eve of Its second dec ade," says a bulletin from the Wash* Ington headquarters of the National Geographic society. The waterway was formally opened to the world Au* gust 15, 1014. "The Panama canal'* birthday achievement gives the United States the proprietorship of the two busiest canals in the world, the Panama and the Sault Ste. Marie," continues the bulletin. "The latter still handles twice as much trufllc as the Pujnnma canal, although it Is open only eight months of the year. "Panama canal's ten-yenr record reuds like the story of the traditional American boy, rising from poverty to wealth. It Is a record of financial success beyond the dreams of many of its stanchest adherents; It Is a rec ord of service success; iti Is a triumph-' of sanitation; it Is, as Viscount Bryce predicted, 'The greatest engineering achievement of history or of pros pect.' "In 1023 canal tolls totaled more than $17,000,000 against expenses of $4,317,000, h net profit equal to more than 3.5 per cent of the construction cost of the canal, $375,000,000. In 1023 nearly 4,000 vessels passed from ocean to ocean. But the fiscal year of 1024 far outstrlped 1023. Of the 107,000,000 cargo tons transferred In the decade, more than a fourth is credited to 1024 and the tolls rose to $24,200,000. Expenditure figures are not yet available. Canal Gets Birthday Gift. "President Coolidge recently gavo t lie deserving Panama canal a birth day present; an executive order put liny aside 22 square miles of addi tional country for the Canal Zone. This acquisition will be converted Into a large reservoir to save up the Chagres floods which would otherwise go over the Gatun dam spillway. "The new Alhajuela project will further Increase the size of Gatun lake, which Is already the largest ar tificial body of water In the world. "Ever since the Panama canal was proposed predictions of Its great boon to trade have filled the press. Ten years show what the canal Is good for. Oil Is king at Panama today, the figures show. The tonnage flpf oils, chiefly crude and refined petroleum, passing through from the Pacific to the Atlantic exceeds the total of all other products. "From the United States' Industrial East the Iron and steel comes and thou sands of tons of other manufactured products and textiles for South Amer ica. Australasia, and the Far East. From thero also, come at the rate of more than 300,000 tons In one year ammonia, cotton, sulphur, cement, coal and coke, metals, ores and paper. "In the United States the great ar gument for the Panama canal, after its necessity for defense, was Its ad vantage to coastwise traffic. Ten years show that the 'Big Ditch' fulfills thes? expectations. Two-thirds of east-bound tonnage from all sources Is coastwise traffic. Of the tonnage originating In west-coast states, DO per cent Is consigned to east-coast ports. Half of the shipments from the Industrial East totaling one-third of all west-bound traffic is coastal traffic. California sends millions of barrels of oil eait via the canal. Much of her fruit In cold storage moves this way and from the northern part of the coast comes the famous salmoa Lum ber Is a commodity of rapidly increas ing importance In canal business, the east coast exchanging its particular types of wood for the west coast's na tive frees. Wieat from western Can ada Instead of flowing to Europe by the lakes nnd rivers of the St. Law rence system, goes to Vancouver now nnd Is shipped to England via Colon. All Kinds of Odors.

Comparative figures also are dis closed by former Governor Jay J. Mor row in IiIh annual report to the secre tary of war, prepared by him before ?he resigned that office and made pub lic by the War department. The tab ulation shows that the Income from tolls and miscellaneous receipts was $10,307,984, as compared with $10,001, OflO for the preceding operations, In cluding machine shops, commissaries, coaling plants, the cattlo Industry, storehouses, fuel oil plants, etc,, netted $1,044,8X7, as compared with $022,171 In 18$8, 6,230 Ships Pat* Through. The number of ships in transit dur ing the fiscal time period reported, exclusive- of American toll-exempt craft and others allowed free passage through the canal, wa? 5,230. Their net tonnage was 20,148,878 and tolls collected aggregated $24,290,908, ex ceeding by 88.7 per cent the tolls col lected In 1023. Governor Morrow explained that the "high figures" for 1024 were due In part to heavy oil shipments from Cali fornia. "These began In September, 1022," he said, "and reached their peak one year later, in September, 1923, when 009,870 tons of California crude oil passed through the canal. Declining gradually ffom that date, these cargoes In June, 1024, totaled only 453,945 tons, and a further shrinkage Is ex pected. Owing to the loss of this oil business It Is possible that the record of 1924 will not be equaled in 1925, but there Is a constant growth In other directions which tends to make good the loss In oil. Excluding Cali fornia .oil altogether, the cargo In translf-H+eough tl.e Panama canal lrr 1023 was 15,878,820 tons, and in 1924 It was 18,493",700 tons. The report further showed there were 21 flags represented in the conal traffic and that in terms of cargo car rlM the American colors led all others, with 01.7 per cent of the total. Great Britain was second with 22.4 per cent, Japan third with 3.5. Germany fourth with 2.7 and Norway fifth with 2 per cent. British, Chilean, Danish, French, Herman, Dutch, Italian and Swedish ships showed gains In cargo tonnage while those of Japan, Norway :<n<l Peru fell below the 1923 figures. "The Argentine, Belgian and Costa Illcnn flags, which appeared on the 1923 list." the report said, "were not seen at the canal In 1924. On the other hand, the flags of the free city of Dan zig, Ecuador, Finland and Jugo-Slavla appeared In 1924, but not in 1923." An examination of tables given In the report, In which traffic Is segre gated by trade routes, shows that the United States intercoastal trade fur nished an even 50 per cent of all cargo passing through the canal In 1924 and that four other major trades account ed for 35.5 per cent additional. These were the trades between Europe and the Pacific coast of North America, 11.5 per cent ; between the east coast of the TTnlted States and the west coast of South America, 10 per cent; between Europe and South America, 7.4 per cent, and between tho United States and the Far East, 0.0 per cent. Increase in Major Trades. In this connection, the report said: "All of the major trades show an In crease over 1923, with the single ex ception of the trade between the United States and the Far East, in which there was a slight decline. "The cargo moving In the United States Intercoastal trade increased fram 8.008,553 tons to 13.527.378 tons, nr 00.7 jmt cent. In the trade be tween Europe and the Patifjc coast of North America there was an increase from 2.511.791 tons to 3.113.030 tons, or 23.5? per cent. In the trade between the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America the Increase was from 2,054,523 tons to 2.702.124 tons, or 31.5 per cent. "In the trade between Europe and South America the 1923 cargo tonnage was 1,719,980, and In 1924 It was 2, 005,s57, :in increase of 14.0 per rent. In the combined minor trade routes there was an Increase from 3,27.1,737 tons to 3,847,532 tons, or 17.5 per cent. The only decline, as previously noted, was In the trado between the United States and the Far East, where 1,798, 278 t?>ns were handled In 19'J4. as rom pared with 1,909,285 tons in lf*23, a l,,vs ,.f :,.y per cent.
