WALHALLA, 8. C.:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28, 1017.
'i'h<; Law ns to Tolling Orntn.
We have noon asked lo print tho
law on tolls for grinding corn and
wheal, lt follows:
"Toils Allowed for (Irinding, Vol.
I, Code Of Laws. Section '?'Mil:
"No person shall take more toll
for grinding corn, wheat or rye. Into
good meal or Hour, than one-eighth
part of any quailtHy under ten bush
els, and for ten bushels or any quan
tity <hbo\ o at one time brought, one
tenlh only."
Penalty for overcharging, Vol. I,
Section 2:188: #
"Any person or persons taking
more toll than hereinbefore directed
shall be subjected to pay a lino of ten
times the value of toll so taken, to
lu* recovered in most summary way
before tho nearest magistrate. One
half to the prosecutor, afyd the other
half to tho person aggrieved."
A cose in the Georgia Courts that
promises much of interest is that ol'
Null vs. Nutt, the naturi; of the case
being an action for divorce. The par
lies to tho action are Alexander Nutt
and Lilllie Nutt. From the very na
turi, of tho circumstances it would
.seem thai. Ibo woman will be granted
a decree, for th? man is A. Nutt be
yond question, and bas evidently
boon so from Infancy. Whatever the
fnmpy name of tho woman bofore
marriage, it will be established that
she was certainly Lilllie before mar
riage, this ceremony only making
her pllghl more deplorable, trans
forming her at the altar into Lunte
Nutt. Looks promising for th? "bug
house" for tho pair. Certainly the
woman was Lilllie, or she would
never have married A. Nutt; the
man's condition was equally estab
lished as A. Nutt when he took unto
himself ibis Liinie girl. "Squirrel
food" beyond doubt.

The finding of tue court, made
public to-day by Brig. Gen. Philipps,
acting commander of the 27th Divis

from ('.en. Philipps to the effect that
in hin opinion Capt. Sullivan should
have been convicted under tho fl?tll

Sickness in Camp.
t G reen wood .tournai, i
tt is tn bc regretted that there is
so nun-ii sicklies^ III tile several
eumur, but there should not bc any
surprise nt this. Where men are
brough! logeihor in large numbers it
would bc a miracle were there not
mor C\ or less sick ness, Wu were told
that lill ?lng the Civil War measles
and ciher con i agious diseases killed
more UK ll ?han ballets. This seems
to hean extravagant statement, but
%no doubt it ls true. Conditions in
camps, vit li all the improved sani
tary methods of recoilt years, must
bo far superior to what they could
possibly have been llfty years ugo.
Of 0;.0 Hiing we may bo sure: Tho
gov er ninon I will do all that can be
done te prevent thc sickness of tho
men, find when they get sick they
will hiv*' the most careful nursing
and medical attention. We see no
reason for severo or unjust criticism
as soino people seem disposed to do.
There 'H more than the usual amount
of sickness at home due to the
change of the season. Many persons

17 BRITISH SHU'S liOST HY SUDS.
Ot Vessels Dcstmyod Ten Wer? of
1,000 Tons and Over-Italians 2.
I.lindon, Nov. 21.-Seventeen Brit
loll merchantmen were sunk by mines
or submarine* last week, according
to tho weekly ^statement issued by the
admiralty. Of theso ton wore, ves
sels of 1,000 tons and over and
so ve li of less than 1,000 tons.
Last week's record or British mer
chantmen s?:nk greatly exceeds that
of the previous week, when only one
vessel of I.lion tons or over and live
craft of less tonnage were sent to tho
liol I om. In fact, it represents in the
aggregate the greatest number ol'
vessels .destroyed since the week of
Ot tober 28, when LS were lost. Since
then lhere has been a gradual falling
off in shipping losses until the mini
mum since Oormany's intensified
submarine campaign began, was
i oavhed November 1 I with a total
of li.
I,esses of Largo Vessels.
As far as the losses of large ves
sels are concerned, however, the
present admiralty report apparently
bears out the optimistic statement
recently made by Premier Lloyd*
George that he had no more fear cr
submarines, and of the llrst lord of
the admiralty that enemy subma
rines were being sunk to an Increns
ing extent for the sinkings lu .., the
1,000 and over category last week
weie Ibo lowest 1 since March, ex
cept for the weeks of September 10,
November 1 and November ll, when
in the two ronner weeks the total in
each instance was eight and lu the
latter ono.
Premier Lloyd-George in his ad
dress io the House of Commons early
in the present week said live subnia- j
lines wore destroyed last Saturday,
but he nave no further information.
Sir Brih Geddes, the new first lord of
the admiralty, in his maiden speech
before Parliament, asserted that be
tween 40 and 50 per cent of Ger
man submarines operating in the
North Sea and the Arctic and Atlan
tic Oceans since the beginning of
the war had boen sunk. He added
thal enemy submarines were being
sunk to an Increasing extent. but
Hint the Gormans were building them
lasier Mian they had previously done.
Italy Loses' Two Ships.
Home, Nov. 24.--italian marine
losses from submarine attacks dur
ing tho week ended November 18th
were ono large steamer sunk and
anot lier steamer damaged by a tor
pedo and afterwards towed into port,
to-day's olflcial announcement says.
Young Mill Operative a Suicide.
Anderson. Nov. 20.-Crayton Haw
kins, aged 1employed as doffer in
(?luck Mills, committed suicide this
afternoon, dring a pistol bullet
through his hoad. The bullet enter
ed just to the rear of the right ear
and caine out on the loft side above
tho ear, Death'was Instantaneous.
Hawkins worked tn tho mill until a
few minutes before ho ll red the shot.
Ho was In his room alone at his
boarding house. His mother and
brother, who also live at the 'board
ing house, are at a loss tn under
stand what caused him to commit the
act. Ho appeared In his usual good
health and to all appearances had
not been worrying any lately. Haw
kins was unmarried.
Short, of Bonnies; Scrip Suggested.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Reports
that tho -shortage of one-cent pieces
had caused clearing houses in seve
ral Bastera and Middle-Western
cities to determine to issue paper
scrip to be circulated locally instead
of pennies reached the treasury to
day and were met by an immediate
effort to ship more small coins east
ward from the Denver and San Fran
cisco mints.
Within the six weeks ending No
vember 15th, 62,000,000 new pennies
?ind I ."?,000,000 now Hickies were put
Into circulation by the treasury. Tho
persistent shortage of these coins,
even making allowances for the heavy
demand for cents caused by war
taxes, has caused Officials to suspect
that a number of retail merchants
ure hoarding '.change" for the holi
day rush.
Ri'itisb Closing on Jerusalem,
London. Nov. til.-The British
torces in Palestine have now ad
vanced live miles northwest of Jeru
salem, tho uar ofllco innouncod.
The announcement follows;
"There is no change in the situa

Kuryot-lOl-Knad. six miles west of

-
Look at the Costly Cars
They'll Sell You on Saxon "Six"
down to I J-2 miles per hour
"on high" and roll along
smoothly without bucking and
jerking. Do you know any
costly car that will do better?
Saxon "Six" seats five passen
gers, comfortably, and six if
necessary. No costly five
passenger car can do more.
And Saxon "Six" will cost you
far less in gas, oil and service A
attention expense.
Thc price now is $935 f. o. b.
Detroit. Before long the price'
of all motor cars will probably
be raised.
Make Saxon "Six" your car at

AUTO. REPAIR COMPANY,
' LIBERTY; S. Cr
Here's the best way wc know
of to really find Out what a
great value Saxon "Six" at
$935 is.
Just forget for a moment that
you are going to buy a car
priced somewhere between
$800 and $1150.
Now go and look at the high
priced cars-thevcars selling at
$2000, $3000, $4000 and up to
$10,000.
Take a pencil and jot down
their most important features.
Then chectv those features
against the Saxon "Six" fea
tures. You'll find that U of
the big features ot Saxon "Six"
are also i features of 30 cars
priced from $2000 to $10,000.
One of these 30 cars-selling at
$4800-has 5 of these J J fea
tures of Saxon "Six"*' at $935.
That's enough on the quality
side.
Now. check thc performance of
these costly cars against the
performance of Saxon "Six."
Saxon "Six" will "pick-up"
from a dead-stand to 50 miles
per hour in 26 seconds. Can
these great, heavy cars match
that?
Saxon "Six'.' is so flexible that
you rarely have to shift gears,
save when you. come ko an
absolute stop. But the costly
cars have to change gears then,
too.
