Easy Way to Break
Severest Cough
No matter how long you have had
a persistent, weakening cough?no mat
ter how many remedies you have tried
without success?you can usually net relief in
ritaptly, and often relieve tho entlrccpugh con
dition in 24 hours, by a very simple' method.
The method is bamrd on a remarkable pre
scription known as Dr. Kins'* New Discovery
for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful
and hold it In your throat for 15 or 20 seconds
before swallowing it, without following with
Jvater. The prescription has a double action,
t not only soothes and heals soreness and ir
ritation. but it Quickly loosens and removes
the phlegm and congestion which are the di
rect cause of the coughing. '1 he propmt re
lief seems almost magical, and the quickness
with which the whole cough condition disao
pssrs is often simply amazing. There is noth
ing better (or coughs, chest colds, bronchitis,
bronchialasthms,hoarseness,and almost every
throat irritation. Economical, too, as the dose

Kingstree, Jan. 19.?A calamity of
inestimable magnitude struck this
town and community Saturday when
the Bank of Williamsburg closed its
doors about 11 o'clock. The Bank of
Williamsburg is the second oldest
bank in the county and was regarded
until recently as the strongest finan
cial institution in the county with as
sets of over $(>00,000, including capi
tal stock of $100,000. The paper
held by the bank is said to bo good
and that depositors will not lose a
dollar of their money. A run on the
bank by its largest depositors is al
leged to be the primary cause of the
bank's failure. The branch bank
maintained at Hemingway by the
Bank of Williamsburg has also closed.

It is stated that the grand jury
examined several state witnesses be

CANAL PASSES SUEZ

t-'urinriil s.
"in imlllc handled It Ims passed
middle-aged, flfty-llve-yeur <?ld Suez
canal and Ih now the world's greatest
artificial Interoeeanlc waterway.
"At the present rate of traffic
growth ,the canal will have to he great
ly enlarged before It Is three decades
older.
"Such Is a thumb-nail sketch of the
accomplishments of America's 'Big
Ditch' on the eve of Its second dec
ade," says a bulletin from the Wash*
Ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society. The waterway
was formally opened to the world Au*
gust 15, 1014.
"The Panama canal'* birthday
achievement gives the United States
the proprietorship of the two busiest
canals in the world, the Panama and
the Sault Ste. Marie," continues the
bulletin. "The latter still handles
twice as much trufllc as the Pujnnma
canal, although it Is open only eight
months of the year.
"Panama canal's ten-yenr record
reuds like the story of the traditional
American boy, rising from poverty to
wealth. It Is a record of financial
success beyond the dreams of many of
its stanchest adherents; It Is a rec
ord of service success; iti Is a triumph-'
of sanitation; it Is, as Viscount Bryce
predicted, 'The greatest engineering
achievement of history or of pros
pect.'
"In 1023 canal tolls totaled more
than $17,000,000 against expenses of
$4,317,000, h net profit equal to more
than 3.5 per cent of the construction
cost of the canal, $375,000,000. In
1023 nearly 4,000 vessels passed from
ocean to ocean. But the fiscal year
of 1024 far outstrlped 1023. Of the
107,000,000 cargo tons transferred In
the decade, more than a fourth is
credited to 1024 and the tolls rose to
$24,200,000. Expenditure figures are
not yet available.
Canal Gets Birthday Gift.
"President Coolidge recently gavo
t lie deserving Panama canal a birth
day present; an executive order put
liny aside 22 square miles of addi
tional country for the Canal Zone.
This acquisition will be converted Into
a large reservoir to save up the
Chagres floods which would otherwise
go over the Gatun dam spillway.
"The new Alhajuela project will
further Increase the size of Gatun
lake, which Is already the largest ar
tificial body of water In the world.
"Ever since the Panama canal was
proposed predictions of Its great boon
to trade have filled the press. Ten
years show what the canal Is good
for. Oil Is king at Panama today, the
figures show. The tonnage flpf oils,
chiefly crude and refined petroleum,
passing through from the Pacific to
the Atlantic exceeds the total of all
other products.
"From the United States' Industrial
East the Iron and steel comes and thou
sands of tons of other manufactured
products and textiles for South Amer
ica. Australasia, and the Far East.
From thero also, come at the rate of
more than 300,000 tons In one year
ammonia, cotton, sulphur, cement,
coal and coke, metals, ores and paper.
"In the United States the great ar
gument for the Panama canal, after
its necessity for defense, was Its ad
vantage to coastwise traffic. Ten
years show that the 'Big Ditch' fulfills
thes? expectations. Two-thirds of
east-bound tonnage from all sources
Is coastwise traffic. Of the tonnage
originating In west-coast states, DO
per cent Is consigned to east-coast
ports. Half of the shipments from the
Industrial East totaling one-third of
all west-bound traffic is coastal traffic.
California sends millions of barrels
of oil eait via the canal. Much of
her fruit In cold storage moves this
way and from the northern part of the
coast comes the famous salmoa Lum

Comparative figures also are dis

tary of war, prepared by him before
?he resigned that office and made pub
lic by the War department. The tab
ulation shows that the Income from

The number of ships in transit dur
ing the fiscal time period reported,
exclusive- of American toll-exempt
craft and others allowed free passage
through the canal, wa? 5,230. Their
net tonnage was 20,148,878 and tolls
collected aggregated $24,290,908, ex
ceeding by 88.7 per cent the tolls col
lected In 1023.
Governor Morrow explained that the
"high figures" for 1024 were due In
part to heavy oil shipments from Cali
fornia.
"These began In September, 1022,"
he said, "and reached their peak one
year later, in September, 1923, when
009,870 tons of California crude oil
passed through the canal. Declining
gradually ffom that date, these cargoes
In June, 1024, totaled only 453,945
tons, and a further shrinkage Is ex
pected. Owing to the loss of this oil
business It Is possible that the record
of 1924 will not be equaled in 1925,
but there Is a constant growth In
other directions which tends to make
good the loss In oil. Excluding Cali
fornia .oil altogether, the cargo In
translf-H+eough tl.e Panama canal lrr
1023 was 15,878,820 tons, and in 1924
It was 18,493",700 tons.
The report further showed there
were 21 flags represented in the conal
traffic and that in terms of cargo car
rlM the American colors led all others,
with 01.7 per cent of the total. Great
Britain was second with 22.4 per cent,
Japan third with 3.5. Germany fourth
with 2.7 and Norway fifth with 2 per
cent. British, Chilean, Danish, French,
Herman, Dutch, Italian and Swedish
ships showed gains In cargo tonnage
while those of Japan, Norway :<n<l
Peru fell below the 1923 figures.
"The Argentine, Belgian and Costa
Illcnn flags, which appeared on the
1923 list." the report said, "were not
seen at the canal In 1924. On the other
hand, the flags of the free city of Dan
zig, Ecuador, Finland and Jugo-Slavla
appeared In 1924, but not in 1923."
An examination of tables given In
the report, In which traffic Is segre
gated by trade routes, shows that the
United States intercoastal trade fur
nished an even 50 per cent of all cargo
passing through the canal In 1924 and
that four other major trades account
ed for 35.5 per cent additional. These
were the trades between Europe and
the Pacific coast of North America,
11.5 per cent ; between the east coast
of the TTnlted States and the west
coast of South America, 10 per cent;
between Europe and South America,
7.4 per cent, and between tho United
States and the Far East, 0.0 per cent.
Increase in Major Trades.
In this connection, the report said:
"All of the major trades show an In
crease over 1923, with the single ex
ception of the trade between the
United States and the Far East, in
which there was a slight decline.
"The cargo moving In the United
States Intercoastal trade increased
fram 8.008,553 tons to 13.527.378 tons,
nr 00.7 jmt cent. In the trade be
tween Europe and the Patifjc coast of
North America there was an increase
from 2.511.791 tons to 3.113.030 tons,
or 23.5? per cent. In the trade between
the east coast of the United States
and the west coast of South America
the Increase was from 2,054,523 tons
to 2.702.124 tons, or 31.5 per cent.
"In the trade between Europe and
South America the 1923 cargo tonnage
was 1,719,980, and In 1924 It was 2,
005,s57, :in increase of 14.0 per rent.
In the combined minor trade routes
there was an Increase from 3,27.1,737
tons to 3,847,532 tons, or 17.5 per cent.
The only decline, as previously noted,
was In the trado between the United
States and the Far East, where 1,798,
278 t?>ns were handled In 19'J4. as rom
pared with 1,909,285 tons in lf*23, a
l,,vs ,.f :,.y per cent.
"of the total west-bound cargo 09.8
