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. . The mine,
which was abandoned about
twenty years ago, contains a
shaft ninety-two feet deep, sixty
[eet of which is in water. Work
>f pumping out this water will
be begun in a few days.?Rock

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.
THE SPIRIT OF 8UBSIDY.
^
"That poet waa truly inspired
when he wrote thia patriotic aonnot,"
said the admiring reader.
"Of course," replied Senator Sorghum.
"In my opinion, nearly everything
you ace written al>ont politics
ia inspired by one aide or the
other."
"Have you much trouble in your
cooking with your seasoning?"
"Not much. My grate trouble ia
with the nutmeg."
