THE SHORTAGE MAY BE BRIEF." Raper Investigators Report on Possi bilities of tho Future. Washington, Aug. Ll.-Secretary Houston, in a letter to President Wilson, made public to-day. tells of investigations made hy the forest service into the print paper short age and declares the experts of the service "are inclined to believe that the present condition may be tem porary." He says that a detailod | study of sulphite pulp manufactur ing processes now is wtll advanced and is being pushed as rapidly as the available resources permit. "1 have been informed," writes the secretary, "that before the war eastern markets, which are tho principal paper markets of the country, were fully supplied by American mills and imports from several foreign countries. Prices as a result were so low as to offer little inducement to now mills in the West, where our great timber re serves are located. It is probable that conditions after thc war may be very similar to those which existed before. These factors have a direct bearing upon the suggestion regard ing the construction and operation of government plants. "The forest service has offered for sale at various times large amounts of timber on the national forests in logging chances favorable for pulp o iterations. These areas are located mainly in the Pacific Northwest and in Alaska and offer combinations of suitable and cheap timber with large quantities of easily developed water power. Up to the present time it has not boen possible to make such sales. The chief difficulty has been that the Western market has been fully supplied and in fact mill capac ity has been in excess of market de mands. "Western mills, with the advant age of cheap power and cheap tim ber, seemed to be unable to enter Eastern and Middle Western mar kets, and the only opportunity for successful enterprise seems to be the more or less uncertain possibility of being able to develop foreign and chiefly oriental markets. These areas undoubtedly will be placed un der contract as soon as economic conditions permit their development. They are offered under terms de signed to encourage the development of the pulp and paper Industry." ANOTHER MU A J FOR ROCK H lld;. Oarhartit to Erect Second riant Plaits Approach Ideal.

Du Prc, of the United States engi neering department, Charleston, ar rived here yesterday and at once ijok up the government relief work In this district. All of the county officials had left town for Johnson ville to attend the county campaign meeting. But In order to complete the necessary arrangements and get the relief work under way as quickly .?5 possible, Mr. Du Pre was taken in a car to Johnsonville so he could confer with the county officers, and the committee appointed at the pub lic meeting Saturday to take up and assist in tho work whenever tho gov ernment representative arrived. Not a hitch has occurred and Mr. DuPre is highly gratified over the assist ance rendered him and tho work of relieving the destitution caused by tho destructive storm of July 14th. Federal aid was begun to-day. Mr. DuPre will go to Florence to-mor row. In this connection the United States Department of Agriculture wired C. W. Bakor, local farm dem onstration agent, as to the kind and quantity of fall garden seed requir ed, and already a wire has been re ceived from Congressman Ragsdalo, stating that a largo'shlpment of seed has been made to this place for free distribution to the needy. Work on the public roads of the county will bo commenced at once as a means of furnishing employment for the idle. PEANUTS IN PLACE OF COTTON. Cotton Seed Crushers Will Take All Goobers Grown tn Their Territory. (The State.) One crop which may be substituted for cotton with the advent of the boll weevil is the peanut, which can be successfully grown throughout the State, and particularly tho lower half, W. W. Long, farm demonstra tion agent In the State, said yester day. Mr. Long further emphasized that one cotton seed oil mill in Char leston has been crushing peanuts during the last 90 days. The sup ply was drawn from Virginia farms, which Mr. Long says are no better suited for the growing of this crop than is South Carolina soil. Another incentive, Mr.Long pointed out, was that the South Carolina Cot ton Seed Crushers' Association has agreed to handle this year all the peanuts and soy beans grown by the farmers of this State. Mr. Long re cently read a paper on the latter crop at the annual convention of cotton seed crushers in Atlantic Beach, Fla., and tho oil men agreed to this plan to encourage the introduction of crops to meet the boll weevil ravage. A direct sequence of the peanut planting would be the fattening of more hogs, which could be easily dis posed of through the two packing houses recently established in Or angeburg and Greenville. Mr. Long ls confident South Caro lina will be prepared for the boll weevil upon its advance Into South Carolina, and that its appearance Will not be followed by the great de cline In land values that has resulted elsewhere. From ligures collected from St. Louis it was shown that 3, 000 hoof cattle were sold on that market from Mississippi in 1907, the year when the boll weevil was so dis astrous to the crops lu the Central ?outh. Last year the number of beef ca tl lt sold on that market alone to talled 1 27,000. Ducks Do Ills Angling. (Litchfield, Ky., Cor. N. Y. Sun.) Henry Cecil, of Cecilia, In a lake near his home, has devised a most successful and novel way to catch llsh, according to Roy Bond. Cecil has a number of ducks that frequent this lake. He ties a short fishing line to the duck's foot with the hook halted. The duck swims about thc lake, fishing all over it. When a fish strikes bc pulls the duck's leg and Mr. Duck, not under standing what this means, turns and Ileos to the shore just as fast as he can. Cecil takes off the fish, rebalts the hook and throws the duck back Into the lake to renew the fishing. He has a number of ducks fishing for him at the same timo find has caught 100 pounds of fish this way. Found a $1)7 Nugget.

She Declares Ehst Dottie of TnwLu Completely Relieved Her-Hud Keen lu Dad Health Ten Vern's. Alter suffering three long years without "a minute's relief" from stomach trouble, Mrs. Rena Pilgrim, of 15 Harris street, Anderson, S. C., found completo relief In the first bot tle of Tanlac sho took, according to a statement she gave the Tanlac rep resentative. Her statement follows: "I suffered from stomach trouble, which caused me continual pain for three years. I did not have a min ute's relief. I con! ? net eat any thing, and I was so weak i could not do my housework. I had been In bad health for ten (10) years, and my ailments had been very bad dur ing tho past five (5) years. "My nerves were all torn to pieces, too. Nearly every day for about nine months, and less fre quently during tho two previous years, I would have terrible at tacks. My nerves had something to do with them, 1 suppose. These at tacks would continue an hour or longer and I would become uncon scious. Members of my family seve ral times thought I was dying, and I thought so myself. When these at tacks wore off lt seemed as if I had had a horrible dream, and I would be too weak to sit up or talk, even, for two or three hours after the spells ended. Before I took Tanlac I was so weak I could not do my housework and I would have to go to bed three or four tintes and rest a short while during the time I was cooking each ni eal. I did not dare eat meat, and everything I ate would cause me terrible pains. "I had tried so many medicines and had spent so much money with out getting rallef that I had lost faith in medicine almost and had about lost hope of ever getting well again. I was persuaded to take Tanlac, though, and when I began taking lt 1 could not walk across the street. "Well, J am a well and happy wo man now, and it is all due to Tanlac. I do my cooking, wash clothes occa sionally, and go to town and every where I care to, for my sjtrength has been returned. The very first bottle of Tanlac ended those terrible at tacks and stopped the pain In my stomach. You can Imagine how grateful I felt when I was freed of those pains after three long years of steady suffering. "Since I bega-: taking Tanlac 1 have taken two trips to Georgia to visit relatives. I never get tired now and I find a lot of pleasure in my housework. 1 am 15 years of agc. but 1 am going around a lot now to make up for the time I lost during the past five years. 1 can eat any thing now and a lot of it, and I never have indigestion. "I am really a new and entirely different woman now, so great has 1 been the change since my health i was Improved. 1 felt fine when 1 ' had finished the second bottle of Tanlac, and I have not taken any in over a month. 1 bought six bottles j at one time, but I gave one to a friend, and other members of my I family took the rest. I took just two (2) bottles. "I sure can recommend Tanlac, and I have persuaded a lot of my friends to take it. If you had seen me before and after I took Tanlac, you would say it has worked a real miracle for me. That ls just the size of it; Tanlac worked a miracle for me."

GERMAN GAINS IN TWO YEARS. Figures Relate to Conquest nt Close of Second Year of War. The German government has is sued officially tl?e figures relating to the conquests at the end of the sec ond year of the war, in a statement which reads: "The Central Powers occupied 13 1,000 square kilometres, against 180,000 a year ago. The enemy oc cupied in Europe 2 2,000 square kilo metres, against 1 1,000 a year ago. "The Central Powers, Bulgaria and Turkey captured 2,05S,000 enemy soldiers, against 1,695,000. Of those taken prisoner by tho Germans. 5, 9 47 officers and 34S.000 men were French; 9,019 officers and 1.202, 000 men were Russian, and 9 47 offi cers and 30,000 men were British.

Pelee Named is High, Hut Military Considerations Justify It, Washington, Aug. 4.-.Purchase by the United States of the Islands or St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, lying to the east of Porto Rico, and comprising ? the Danish West Indies, is provided in a treaty signed to-day for flie United States and Denmark. It will be submitted at once to the United States Senate and the Danish Parliament, whose ratifications are necessary. No serious objection ls expected in the Senate, where action will be sought at the present session. The members of thc Senate foreign rela tions committee are understood to be virtually unanimous in the'r ap proval. Senator Lodge, the ranking Republican member, issued a state ment to-night declaring tho argu ments in favor of the acquisition of the islands aie unanswerable. Th* only objection ls expected to come from Senators who believe the pur chase price of $25,000,000 too great. Europe's Eyes on Islands. Senator Lodge emphasized In his statement to-night the possibility that the islands, If not acquired by the United States, might fall Into the hands of some European power and involve this government in diffi culties under the Monroe doctrine "which might easily lead to war" a consideration which, it is under stood, has been prominently before the eyes of officials here in their ne gotiations for the purchase. "From a military point of view," Senator Lodge said, "their value can hardly be over-estimated. The fine harbor of St. Thomas fulfils all the required naval and military condi tions. As has been pointed out by the late Admiral Malian, It ls one of the great strategic points in the West Indies. "The population is only 33,000. of whom nearly 30.000 are negroes. There is no possibility of any mnte ri i' increase in population, and an nexation would never Involve at any time the troublesome question of Statehood. "The Danish Islands could be read ily defended from attack, occupying a commanding strategic position and would be of Incalculable value to the United States." President Wilson has designated W. P. G. Harding, of Birmingham, Ala., as governor of the Federal Re serve Board, to succeed Charles S. Hamlin, and Paul Warburg as vice governor, succeeding Frederic De lane.
