v^ \ ' * " ' ' VSi W" ' The Fort Mill Times. ; wmnnBUMii.uw.a.M ? . HERMANS NOW OCCUPY CITYOF WARSAW Bavarian troops under command of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, the 70-year-old veteran of 1866 and 1870-1871, stormed the outer and inner forts of the Russian stronghold on both banks of the Vistula river and entered Warsaw Friday. As soon as the rumor of the event i . i 1 ii i r\ ? was circulated tnrougn rsernn the telephone wires were bent down with eager inquiries addressed to the government authorities. Immediately after the news was confirmed the Berlin streets resembled an ocean with their lustily waving flags. Church bells furnished a bass voice in the great chorus of joy and gratitude for the" unparalleled achievements of the brave armies who had been chasing the Russians from position to ^position since last May. The reduction of Warsaw was announced by an official of the general staff in a few sober words. The victorious prince telegraphed his official report ttf his royal brother at Munich. Ivangorod's fall after the capitulation of Warsaw was expected and the former fortress was taken by the Austro-Hungarian troops. Correspondents at the front reported that Gen. von Woyrsch massed troops, bridge material and pontoons on trains opposite Nowo Alexandria which caused the Russians to throw their best troops and resppvps Inward thnf town At night with 20 pontoon trains hidden under straw, the troops moved down the stream. The engineer quickly threw four bridges across the many branches of the Vistula and within a few hours the troops had crossed the river and surprised the Russians on the other side. They thus encircled Ivangorod from the north and cut the connecting lines to Warsaw. Warsaw is a city of about one million population and is the third largest city of the Teutonic provinces. Slightly more than 4,000 Russians were captured in the city. Shot and Killed McCall. Luke McCall, a young mill man who was well known in local mill circles, was shot and instantly killed Saturday night by J. A. Trammell, a merchant of Glass, N. C., a small station a few miles north of Concord. McCall, it is said, in company with Tom White, of Kannapolis, raised a disturbance at TrammelPs store and was ordered away, but tried later to get into Trammell's living room. He was at the door when Mr. Tram-, mell appeared in answer to alleged threats of violence. With the appearance of Trammell McCall is said to have reached for his hip-pocket, as if in search of a revolver, when Trammell fired with a single-barrel shotgun, the entire load taking effect in McCall's face and killing him outright. Trammell then 'phoned to the sheriff at Concord. Second Race for Congress. Sam J. Nicholls, of Spartanburg, and B. A. Morgan, of Greenville, will make a second race for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fourth South Carolina district, according to almost complete returns from the primary held Tuesday. A. H. Miller, of Greer, ran third in the race. The second primary will be Md Tuesday. Sept.

R. L. Holroyd. Some days ago Dr. Wells received a telegram from Bishop Collins Denny, who is at Hartford, Conn., instructing him to "take charge of the district work until conference, in connection with your pastorate." The news will be read with interest by the many friends of Dr. Wells throughout the disdistrict. A more able successor to the office of presiding elder than Dr. Wells could hardly be found and that he will carry forward to a successful conclusion the work so ably inaugurated by Dr. Holroyd is assured. Germans Continue Forward Move. The Teutonic Allies continue successfully their operations against the Russians in northwest Russia and in Poland an engagement to drive the remaining Russians from East Galicia has begun; the British have re captured trenches in Belgium, taken from them recently and have captured 700 yards of additional trenches there; French airmen have bombarded Saarbrucken in Rhenish Prussia; the Itaiians and Austrians still are in heavy combat on the mountains in the valleys ?nd on the plains in the Austro-Italian battle grounds. These in brief, are the latest developments of the war as made public through the various war chancellories. The Boy Scout Stiff. The scout staff was first used by the Boy Scouts of England where the great scout movement was introduced, and it is now recommended by the national headquarters of Boy Scouts of America as a part of every scout's equipment. On the hike and in the woods it is used in jumping ditches, fences or other obstacles, scaling j walls, and can very conveniently | be used as a tent pole. As a j means of protection against! vicious dogs or snakes it is extremely handy. One or several of them tied together are often used for flag poles and for signal flag steins.

McNinch, who had been at death's door for the past four weeks, died at the Charlotte Sanatorium Sunday morning at 10:40 o'clock, following an operation for appendicitis, which had been succeeded by various complications. For weeks everything known to medical science was resorted to in the effort to stay the onward march of the disease. Skilled surgeons were called in and operation followed operation but in vain. Mr. McNinch was carried to the Charlotte Sanatorium July 4 and his condition was then serious. The first operation was thought to be a success but complications soon appeared and another ! operation was necessary. The ! young man bore up valiantly j and made a brave fight for the ! life that held out so many promis|ing things for him but unavailingly. The end came Sunday morning, just as tho Sun^iy worshippers were wending their ways church-ward, was very easy. It was simply "a closing of the eyes to sleep." ?Charlotte Observer. July Drought a Record Breaker. The month of July was the dryest month on record in South Carolina, according to a report of the weather bureau at Columbia. Rainfall was normal only over the extreme eastern and extreme southern coastal regions. Corn, gardens, tobacco, truck and pastures showed much improvement under plentiful rains during the first of the month, but the ground was too wet on 4.1 4--1 _ 1 - -1 - " me coastai piain ana portions 01 the Piedmont for proper cultivation against grass. The nights were too cool for the satisfactory development of cotton, which was fruiting on short plants and was shedding and spotted in localities. Toward the middle of the month vegetation began to deteriorate under excessive heat and relatively dry weather and corn, truck and pastures were needing rain, particularly over the interior and western counties.

According to the ; Sumerian theology found on the 1 tablet, which is said to have i been written before the days of < Abraham and which was translated by Dr. Steven Langdon, professor of assyriology in Ox- * ford university, England, Noah * was ordered not to eat of the 1 Cassia tree in the Garden of 1 Paradise and when he disobeyed the curse fell on him. I The curse was that he should have ill health and an early ! death instead of living to be 50,000 years old like his ancestors. According to the announcement the tablet is at least 1,000 years older than the Genesis account and so far as is known, is the oldest record of the sort in existence. The tablet was written more than 4,000 years ago. Babylonian and Sumerian accounts place the flood at something like 3,500 B. C., and the 1 lapse of time between the creation and the flood is filled by < ten kings who reigned altogether 432,000 years, an average of 43,200 years each. The reason that later kings reigned comparatively short periods, the 1 tablet says, is that Noah sinned 1 in eating of the Cassia tree. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
