I i i Our Dependence on Europe. < The Department of Commerce has issued a statement' showing the different kinds^of articles imported into the United States from European countries. The compilation of this data was made necessary in order to intelligently answer the numerous queries received, since the European war began, from merchants and manufacturers in practically every country in the world. According to the report, the United States is dependent upon England for a large portion of the cotton goods consumed in this country, approximately 36,000,000 yards of cloth, valued at $20,000,000, hpintr imnnrtpH into thp TTnitPfi States annually. Germany supplies the American trade with a large quantity of chemicals, and last year sold $20,000,000 worth to United States merchants. Other important articles imported from Germany to the United States are cotton goods, palm oil, potash, salts, wood pulp, toys, machinery, cutlery, gtoves, silks, paper goods, clover and sugar beet seed, rice flour, cocoa. spirits, wines and malt liquors. France supplies the United States with a large amount of luxuries, among the most important being silks, art works, autos and wines. We also import perfumeries, diamonds and motion picture films from this country. France contributes few necessities to the United States. Italy supplies large quantities of macaroni, fruits and nuts, olive oil. prepared vegetables, cheese, still wines, art works, hats, argols and distilled oils. Netherlands is a leading source of diamonds and wrapper tobacco, and also s mds us hides, fish, spices, tin and paper slock. Belgium is our largest source of diamonds, and also sends us much rubber, Iiides and furs, and linens. Switzerland leads as our source of imported cotton laces and watches, and is* inv portant in ine matter ot cnecsr, silk pooda and coa) tar. Ireland supplies iarpe quantities of linens. For the benefit of those who may not know, it may he said that the comptroller general has notified the county treasurers of the various counties to issue executions for all delinquent taxpayers immediately after April 1. Any taxes paid after that date, before the executions have been turned over to the sheriff, will be subject to a penalty of 5 per cent. Will Encamp at Anderson. The cadet corps of Clemson college will encamp at Anderson from March 22 to 27, inclusive, according to announcement by President Riggs. It is under "I iL . it 1 . aioou mat me oaneis will encamp in the north Anderson section of the town. Encampment week will come at the < nd o" the second term of the school year a d before the beginning of the * t; ird term and will make a very convenient break in the sixmo i h*' puil Iron New Year's to commencement. New Mileage Law. Effective Saturday, March 20, ill forms of intrastate mileage >ooks and penny script books j vill be re^cored to all of the ;erms and conditions which exsted prior to May 1, 1912, so far is the State of South Carolina s concerned. These forms will' pe honored both interstate and ' ntrastate, it being understood :hat all of these forms of transportation are to be exchanged at i ticket offices for exchange passage tickets for intrastate as well as interstate travel. The foregoing announcement will be of decided interest, not pnly to the traveling men, but to j the public at large who are wont j to engage railroad transportation. These regulations are made in accordance with an act that recently passed the general assembly. All railroads in.the State will put on this system af mileage. American killed in Mexico City. John B. McManus, a prominent American in Mexico City, was shot and killed in his home Thursday by Zapata troopers as they were occupying the Mexican capital after evacuation by Gen. Obregon's Carranza forces. Official dispatches from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City reporting the affair to the State department, stated that the American flag was floating over McManus' horse and that his door had been closed and sealed by the Brazilian consul. The Brazilian ministers' dispatch indicated that the killing may have been one of revenge, for it was charged that when Zapata troops recently occupied the capital McManns had killed three of their number. Looking For a Gold Mine. D. W. Harris, representative or a mining company of Cheney, fir L _ ? xr i- i- i t wusu., is in iorK county ior ine rpurpose of testing out the "Big Wilson" mine about six miles northeast of Yorkville, as well as other lands said to contain gold. Mr. Harris has several men employed at the Big Wilson mine and yesterday sent a number of specimens of ore to Spokane, Wash., for examination. He stated yesterday that he was verv ** el! sati^fipd with results obtained at the mine thus far and has reason to believe that *he property was worth working. .

Work >f pumping out this water will be begun in a few days.?Rock Hill Herald. That Smart Gaffney Dog. J. F. Jamison, of Gaffney, whose dog has been referred to in the newspapers, was in Gaffney a few days ago and upon biing asked about the statement in the papers in regard to the log, said that it was not only 'rue that the dog would do all i hat was claimed in the aforesaid statement, but that he would make the mules go into i heir proper stalls, and that when the family went to the dining room for meals, if any member failed to go on time, that the dog would find them and lead them to meals; that Mrs. Jamison would frequently send the dog to the fields for him, and that if he did not at once start lor the house, the dog would catch him by the sleeve with his teeth and lead him to the house.
