Colonel G? is a fine commander, but not a musican. He sent for the 4 chief musician of his regimental band and delivered this scathing criticism: ' "I notice a lack of uniformity about the band which must be reg- | ulated. Yesterday morning they ' were out on parade, and the largest man in the band was playing a little bit of an instrument?flute or something of the kind?and you had the big drum played by a small man. That sort of thing doesn't look well, and must be attended to. I want the . smallest men to play the small instruments and the big men the big instruments. Another thing?I want the trombone players to slide their instruments in and out in unison. It annoys me to see them all out of step ^ with their hands."?Pittsburg Chron- : K iele Dispatch. MILLIONS FOR CHARLESTON URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL CARRIES HUGE AMOUNT. Between $22,000,000 and $32,000,000 to Make Charleston Great War Port. Washington, Feb. 6.?Between $22,000,000 and $32,000,000 will be spent by the government in the development of Charleston as a war port, according to plans now being completed. The money is carried in the great urgent deficiency bill soon to be considered in congress. This is the fact behind the dispatch sent to the News and Courier by its Washington correspondent last Saturday night. Because of beingbound in confidence as to the details the correspondent could not then go into details or definitely describe the developments in progress. Whaley Makes Statement. Congressman Richard S. Whaley, however, was in a position today to make a statement for publication, and in doing so he tells the readers of the News and Courier what the government programme contemplates and the stupendous total of expenditures which show that this is to be the greatest single project ever undertaken at Charleston or at any other point in that part of the country. When asked today if he could not say something for publication Mr. Whaley replied: "There have been under way for several months examinations of Southern nnrts hv the war He partment for the purpose of using one of them as a port for storage and embarkation. Owing to the deep water of thirty feet from the sea, the large harbor and splendid fortifications, Charleston has been selected. It is proposed to erect permanent buildings of the most modern type for storage of supplies, ammunition, embarkation, etc. To Spe^d Vast Sums. "In all the ^government will take between three and four thousand acres of land at Charleston and will expend between $22,000,000 and $32,000,000. In the bill to be reported by the committee on appronations I have assurances this amount will be included and I am confident it will be passed by the house and senate. The designation of the port of Charleston is a recognition of its availability to be made Dne of the great ports on the Atlantic. "The Allies' shipping will also [Joubtless be sent through our port in ?reat part. The plans have all been made and it is only a question of a short time before the government will actually commence work. In Definite Shape Xow. '.'Although I have been working on this matter for many months, it had not assumed such a definite shape that I felt I could make an announcement. However, I feel it is now practically assured and that Charleston will be one of the biggest ports of the country in. the storage and handling of supplies for transshipment to the troops on the other side. "The structures to be erected are not temporary, but of a permanent lature, and therefore, after the war is nver, the port will still be one of the big bases for the government. The tremendous benefit to the city and State can be readily appreciated and [ am glad to have contributed my share to its accomplishment." Unsinkable Ships for Troops. New York, Feb. 9.?Means have been found to make troop transports unsinkable by submarines, according co a statement made here tonight by William L. Saunders, vice chairman of the naval consulting board, in an iddress at a dinner of the University of Pennsylvania alumni. Mr. Saunders said that one of the ships recently commandeered by the government "now lies at an Atlantic port and in such shape that she can not be sunk by an exploding torpedo." "I can conceive of no reason why this information should be withheld," he added. "On the contrary, I believe it is well that the enemy may some to realize the time has been reached when American transports ire ready for the transportation of our troops which that enemy cannot sink. This ship may have a noie thirty or forty feet in diameter blown in her side and she will remain afloat. Such a hole should waterlog but one tenth of the honeycombed airtight :ells." Appropriate. "Why do you have an apple as your trademark?" asked a client of the cash tailor. "Well, well," replied the man, rubbing his hands, "if it hadn't been for an apple where would the clothing business be today?"?Puck.

SOUTHERN BELL T1 AND TELEGRAPH A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught. Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. i Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: *'l am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother's home, when I TTTTi/-\n otttt nf iia rhilfl. , >vao a Vjiiiiu. ?? ucu auj ui uw vu..~ ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we ! would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the livgr acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. "We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lot3 of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeable symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, Indigestion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt ana natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's, the original and genuine.
