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.

rnuiiSBSTiOSS ELEGT1QM
MAY BE CALLED OFF
Alleging that the act of the
last General Assembly providing I
for an election on the 14th of
next month on the question of
prohibition is unconstitutional,
attorneys Friday filed a petition
with R. C. Watts, associate justice,
at Laurens, asking that a
temporary injunction De issuea.
The action was brought by J. |
Henry Chappell, a citizen of j
Newberry county, against R. M.
McCown, secretary of State; S.
T. Carter, State treasurer; C. VV.
Sawyer, comptroller general, and
C. T. Graydon. Zeb hope and J.
F, Howell, commissioners of election
for Richland county.
After reading the petition, Associate
.Justice Watts refused to
grant the injunction, but issued
the following order:
"It is ordered that the respondents
show cause before the supreme
court on August 20, at 10
o'clock a. m.. 1915, why an order
should not issue herein, restraining
them from the acts and
things complained of in the said
petition."
Frank G. Tompkins and Cole
L. Blease of Columbia, are the
attorneys for the petitioner.
Dr. Wells is Presiding Elder.
The Rev. P. B. Wells, of Rock
Hill, has been appointed as presiding
elder of the Rock Hill
...? .?*? ui OIIV 1I1\.II1UUI>31 Li^lDVU"
pal church, South, to fill the unexpired
teim of the late presiding
elder, the Rev. 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.

Eli McNinch Dead.
Mr. Elijah Todd McNinch, the
older son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
S. 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

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

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.
The annual reunion of the
Spratt family of this city and

OLD NOAH GETS BLAME :
FOR THE FALL OF MAN
Adam and Eve did not bring
about the fall of man. but it was .
Noah, according to a translation ]
of a tablet now in the University
of Pennyslvania museum. This announcement
was made Sunitqv
hu n ronrocontnf!"" ~?
,j ~ j v. >v(/kvovuvaii?C U1 Lilt;
museum. 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.
