Leg Fractured. About two weeks ago little Clarence Watkins, 20 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. U Watkins, fell down some steps while visiting in Camden and injured his leg. It was thought that he would soon l?e all right, but as time passed and he did not improve, his father took him to Columbia Friday, where an X-ray pic ture was made by Dr. Gibbs. It was found that both bones of the leg just above the ankle were fractured. Little Clarence is now at home and is doing nicely. , Meterological Report, October, 1915. Temperature..

Ox- | ner EXPORT COAL TERMINAL Of Southern Railway at Charleston Cost Over Half Million?Equal That of Any Port, Charleston, Oct. 30.?Sou hern rail- j ways export coal terminal, recently j completed at Charleston at a cost of! approximately $600,000, gives .-Charleston facilities which will enable it to compete on an equal basis- with any other port, on the Atlantic seaboard for traffic in coal for carriage overseas and is therefore an improvement of great interest and importance not j :nly to Charleston, but as well to the entire southeastern territory, particu- j larly the coal producing sections. Coal j can now be loaded into ships at Char-1 leston as rapidly and as cheaply as at any other American port and freighi rates have been so adjusted that coal Dperators shipping through Charleston will be on a parity with producers exporting through Norfolk. (Ihe terminal embodies the rriost modern ideas for facilities of this' character. Coal is dumped from cars by turning them bottom upwards an;! fa lite in tn a hnnner from which it is fed into the holds of ships by a belt conveyor and a teleschope chute which not only make very rapid handling possible but elirhinate to a great degree the breakage which results when coal is dumped into ships by gravity from elevated pockets. The coal handling machinery consists of a car dumper and a loading tower, both of which are operated entirely by electricity. They are located on a steel and concrete pier, 375 feet in length, fronting on water CO feet deep at mean low tide. The pier is connected with the mainland by a croosoted trestle, 3.800 feet long. Cars are pushed into the dumper by a switcn engine, wnen power is applied, the car is automatically clamped and turned?body, trucks and the section of track upon which it stands?to such an angle that the coal pours into the hopper. When the car is empty the dumper returns to its normal positions. As another loaded car is shnvpd into the dumDer it Dushes out the empty, which then runs to the end of the pier and by means of a "kick back" is returned automatically to the storage track. The loading tower consists of the hopper into which coal is dumped from cars, the belt conveyor and the telescopic chute by means of which coal can be delivered to any part of a ship, thus eliminating "trimming" ':o a orrpat extent. Both the car dumper and the loading tower are movable and can be shifted to serve different hatches, so that when a ship is once tied up at the pier it is unnecessary to move it until full cargo has been received. The capacity of the plant is from 1,500 to 2,000 tons per hour. A car can be unloaded in about two minutes and the plant will handle cars up to 100 tons capacity, though for the present 50 ton cars will be the heaviest sent to it. ine piant can aanuie ill uu>; day as much coal as was exported through Charleston in the entire year 1913. The terminal is complete in itself, but should business beyond its capacity develop, provision has been made for the addition of similar units. In connection with the coal pier, a storage yard of 400 cars capacity has been constructed at .Charleston and additional passing track facilities have been provided on the lines leading from the coal fields. TEUTONIC FORCES ADVANCING SLOWLY AustrJins From West, Germans From North and Bulbars From East Making Progress. London, Oct. 29.?The Germans with j their Austrian and Bulgarian allies are still trying to cut off the retreat of the main. Servian army, which is ogering spirited resistance as it retires. While Field Marshal von Mack-' ensen's force advances slowly from the J north, the Aaistrians have crossed the -wsTern border of Servia south of Viseerud and are moving eastward and the j Bulgarians are marching westward on, a wide front from Pirot, southeast of Xish, to Sajecar, northeast of Nish. | It is a Ions wav across and the coun- ! ! try is difficult to traverse, but the Ser- j vians aro bound to defend it as long as possible, as their great arsenal at j Kra guy vats is situated in this area and they doubtless will hold on with the ;i>' pe of making an eventual retreat in I the mountains along the Montenegrin 'rontier and in. that country. One Fighting King. To forestall this the Austrians also are attacking in Montenegro, but have n^ade little progress, and the Monte- j r,:'g:;r.? under their veteran fighting; king have had a long time to prepare for just such an event and have beaten off all attacks. In fact, the Montenegrins hold some strong positions in Austrian territory, j mii- / # tVioir nrill +n ha V/UV.

' .| It is reported, that Uskup has been! captu;ed The French claim to have J 'leared the Bulgarians out of the Velez district. {This, if true would render Uskup an unsafe place for the invaders, in the opinion of military men here. Russian plans have not been dis \ozea, although from German sources t is reported that Roumania is about | :o threw in her lot with the entente i'.lies and will allow the passage of j ">^0,000 Russian troops through her tsiritorv to attack Bulgaria frofri the [ north. Greece has assured the entente powers that her neutrality remains friendly to them and has pointed out ! / i that she already has given them asbi.^tance by permitting the landing of i roops at Saloniki. On the other fronts there is little or no change in the situation. In the 'West artillery engagements remain the chief method of warfare, although there have been some trench fighting. In the East a battle is still raging for Riga and Dvinsk, which for nearly two months Field Marshal von Hin-. denburg had been endeavoring to. reach. During the past week the Ger-, mans have poured a rain of shells on j the Russian positions along a front of j 150 miles from the mouth of Dvina | to the south of Dvinsk, but although! | the Russians are falling back a little in the north they have generally held firm and returned shot for shot, which is taken here to indicate that their supply of ammunition is now satisfactory. Though the like district between Dvinsk and Sventsyani the Russians are steadily advancing and are approaching the Vilna-Dvinsk railway. Tn the ftrtnth t.hftv also continue harrv 1 ing the Austro-Germans by frequent thrusts. Emperor Nicholas and his son are visiting Gen. Ivanoff in this region. As the Germans are reported to have sent a part of Gen. von Linsinger's army from this region to the Roumanian frontier to guard against a Roumanian attack on Field Marshal von Mackensen's forces in Servia, important events are looked for along the Styr and in Galicia. Gen. Joffre, the French commarJerin chief, has arrived in England. He had a long conierence witn HJari ivitcnener today and also visited the other ministers.

Vl O /4 f H A gcUIJ auunug iiVJUUi uavc paiu bu<7 amounts as set to their respective sentences, the total being $4,425. Clerk of Court W. H. Dunkin has been busy receiving the money since Saturday, when sentences were first imposed. About $1,500 of the amount was taken in yesterday. Each of the defendants was given the opportunity of serving several months on the chain gang or of paying a, nominal amount of money. JThe amounts designated .aried from $50 to $lf>0. It is told that one of the defendants wished to see the judge yesterday, but being told that he was not present, was questioned as to what he wanted. After some hesitation he said that he wanted to know if the judge would extend his time until the first of the month. Be ing given no hope io this direction the v r%>'. defendant gave~as his reason for making the request, "that he would lose the interest on his money, which was ia the bank." Distinguished Yisitors.

Dreher, United States consul at Colon, Panama, and the Hon. William H. Lea veil, United States minister to Guatemala, Central America. Both of them made short addresses in chapel.
