Fine Investiga c ? WARSHIP BRINGS TONS OF BRITISH GOLD TO U. S. By ROBERT C. CRANSTON. New York, Aug. 11.?In several steel cars guarded by forty men there arrived in New York to-day the largest treasure ever transported across the ocean for lodgment in the massive vaults of this city. The steel cars rolled into the terminal of the American Express Company at Thirty-third street and Eleventh avenue at 6:15 o'clock this morning and the task of transferring the gold and securities of the United States sub treasury began immediately. The treasure consisted, according to officials of the express company, of $34,000,000 in gold, weighing 70 tons, and $21,000,000 in securities, a total of $55,000, which the Bank of England had sent to this country to strengthen British financial prestige in the New York market. It was consigned to J. P. Morgan & Co., fiscal agents in America for the British Government. At the Morgan office it was said the gold was worth $19,534,200. Subtreasury experts valued the metal at $18,604,000.. The gold and securities crossed the Atlantic in a British battle cruiser reported to have been commanded by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who defeated the Germans in a naval battle off Heligoland last year. The warship was convoyed by a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers, according to officials of the American Express Company, wWh brought the treasure from Halifax to New York., The express company's terminal swarmed with detectives armed for instant action while the work of unloading the treasure proceeded. Among them were several secret sprvirp m#?n. saiH t/> have hf>*>n as signed by the Federal officials, as well as representatives of the British Consul. In 25 immense inclosed automobile trucks the gold and securities were taken to the subtreasury. , The cost of shipping the gold to this country, including the loss of interest, is estimated at $250,000. The use of warships was the principal reason for the great cost of the treasure's transportation. ' Every precaution had been taken both before and during the shipment to prevent German spies from learning the plan of shipment, for it was feared that the German Admiralty would try to sink the treasure ship-* ment by a submarine attack.

Kej.u'f AiHT" BACK YET.J vMHE^D ^ &> To MOST VALUABLE TREE IN 3 STATES LOBLOLLY, OR SHORTLEAF, PINE OFFERS IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR PERMANENT TIMBER INVESTMENTS SAYS NEW PUBLICATION. Washington, Aug. ! 16.? Loblolly pine, which is konwn also as shortleaf, and is marketed under the trade name of North Carolina pine, now yields the largest cut of lumber of any tree in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and on account of its extremely rapid growth, abundant natural regeneration, adaptability to various soils, heavy yield, and the desirability of its; wood for structural purposes, is destined to continue as one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable, timber tree within this area, says a bulletin just issued jointly by the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey and fVn? TT fi Fftrocf Ssrvifia Ras?anaa of these traits, as well as freedom from disease and defects, early maturity, comparative cheapn>2$s of logging, and the excellect market for most grades of its lumber, says the bulletin, stands of this pine offer probably the most favorable conditions of any tree of the United i3tates for the practice of forestry, which is to say, for the efficient management of timberlands'as a permanent investment. The bulle in, discussing the most economical methods of cutting: loblolly pine in different types of forest, points out that, notwithstanding the tree's rapid rate of growth, it ;is possible ill the case of pure stands in which many trees are small to cut so that timber of a relatively high quality can be^ secured from later A 14.1 L i'L! u{icibuviib< xLitiiuugn Lnxnnine's are impracticable at present in connection with large opera tiona, says the bulletin, they can be made advantageously by fanners who arc in a position to cut on the same restricted areas at intervals of five to ten years. The possibility of determining the future yield from young stand a or from unstocked land is worked out on a basis of quality sites, and suggestions are made for ascertaining the quality of different site;? by analyzing the surrounding forest types and herbaceous and shrubby growth, character ot the soil, ana depth of water table. The bulletin forecasts the future stumpage values of young stands at/the end of ten and twenty years, based on the rate of increase in stumpapre values durine the last twenty years. Practically all the economic aspects of managing and marketing loblolly pine stumpage are treated exh austively with numerous tables and photographs. Copies of the bulletin can be obtained from the State Geologist, Chapel fiillr-N. C., or the U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D. C. ( NO "SMOKE OF BATTLE" IN MODERN WARFARE One of the marked features of the European conflict that distinguishes it from the wars of the past is the absence of smoke on the firing lines. Owing to the use of smokeless powder, no smoke is; made when a rifle is. discharged, while the heaviest artillery throws off nothing more than a thin mist that is invisible a hundred yards away and disappears within a few seconds after the gun is fired. Only when shrapnel or a shell explodes in the enemy's lines is there anything visible in the way ot smoKe, rne wnoie purpose bexng to conceal the pasition of the guns throwing the projectiles while making the points where the projectiles explode clearly visible. The expression, "the smoke of battle," so faithfully descriptive of the wars of the past, has little meaning when applied to a modern war.?Tho August Popular Mechanics Magazine.

This is shown by i the constnat numbers of visitors that t are always going over the building, c Whenever the people come from i other parts of the stae they always r go over the State House, they feel I that they are interested in it, and I they want to see it. There was an excursion down from the upper part 1 of the state a few days ago, and hundreds visited the building. One of the men in the Governor's office said he spent most all day showing | * visitors over the building but that he s was glad to do it, they were all in- J * i terestea. , In the Secretary of State's office J3 are many objects of interest, and a * great many ,too in the office of the ^ Secretary of the Historical Gommis- ' sion. The Supreme Court Room is kof interest, and so is the Library up t stairs. The view from the Library 0 windows is fine. The Senate Cham- c ber and the House of Representatives f are well worth visiting, but they are closed most of the time except when v the Legislature is in session. A * place to be looked at is the outside . west wall> just above the windows of b . the Governor's Office. Here are yet to be seen marks where Sherman's c shells hit when he fired on Columbia before he crossed the river and occupied the city in his famous march e to the sea. Inside the downstairs a hall of the State House are to be s seen some of the largest pieces of single stone in the world for many of ? the giant pillars are all one piece of granite. Indeed it is said that this State House contains more mojioliths t of their size of any building. A , monolith is a solid unbroken pillar or v monument of stone. The State House grounds this year v are especially beautiful. The great 5 square?it contains four city blocks, is well grassed, with every here and there beds of bright colored flowers, j There are dozens of ornamental trees on the grounds, and beside that many ? more of the commoner varieties of jj trees. At different points on the f grounds are various monuments, at one point is an historic grave, there a is one large cannon that came as a( { trophy from the war with Spain, and c many smaller guns from the bygone c days. The grounds are pleasing, c and sevral hours could well be spent j on the State House and grounds to- c gether. . t * * . t The Governor's office is in a way s the centre of the State, and the ( events of that office is an index to r the times. Last fall the great cry a was "diversify your crops:" Up to ? now grain had been a negligible fac- ? tor in this state, and wheat almost r unthought of. Now, however, comes c a letter to the Governor asking to z inform the writer what is a lawful t toll for grinding wheat. The an- t swer is found in sections 2387 and } 2388 of Vol. 1 of the Code of 1912, ( which reads: 2387, No person shall ( take more toll for grinding wheat, rye, or any other grain into good meal or flour than jone eighth part of any quantity under ten bushels, and 1 for ten bushels , or, any quantity i %%%%%%%%%% J PROLONG LIF | nsin i t A Harmless Vege \ with no Injui * A 5 DOES AWAY WITH i | Grig'sby's Liv-Ve g Recommended I |L, / By Grosslbove, at one time brought one;enth part only; and for all grain asiforesaid chopped for hominy, feed- > ng stock or for distilling, one s?c~ ;eenth part. 2388.
