EFFORT TO RIVAL AMERICA.
, )
Genhany's Aerial Plaas Founded on
Published Statements.
With the American Army in
France, Jan. 5.?Germany's plans for
aerial warfare on a larger scale than
heretofore, it is indicated in documents
taken from enemy prisoners,
are founded upon published statements
regarding the aerial warfare
plans of the United States. Information
to this effect has reached the
American expeditionary forces. It is
indicated that the Germans, believing
that America intended putting
machines by the tens of thousands
into the battle area, immediately enlarged
their own plans in the expectation
of offsetting the increased enemy
forces. Just when the enemy's j
. < programme will be realized is uncer- |
tain, but the information obtained in i
captured documents is regarded by!
ranking officers as making it extreme- j
ly desirable for a speedy and com-!
plet9 development of American air
service.
Yeggmen Make Big Haul.
Aiken, Jan. 3.?Parties supposed to
be experts in the yeggman line, broke
into the Seminole Mills company store
at Clearwater Wednesday morning
and cracked the large safe. About
$1,000 in cash and money orders
were stolen. R. L. Dennis, postmaster,
lost $100 of his private money
in the loot. A valuable watch in the
safe was stolen also. The yeggs secured
an entrance to the building by
using an axe to pry open the window.
Big rugs from the store stock were
piled thick around the safe to deaden
the explosion. While the whole front
was blown off the safe not a window
pane nearby was broken. Sheriff
Howard drove to the scene througn
the snow this morning, but upon arriving
there he found that the heavy
fall of snow at 4 o'clock this morning
had covered all tracks made by
the burglars.
This is the fourth big pull-off the
yeggs have made recently in the
Horse Creek valley. Two weeks ago
the Warrenville depot was robbed
and cn'y recently the oil company at
North Augusta had its safe cracked.
The sheriff is hot on the clew given
him by a negro who saw two men
in uniform hanging around the place
early last night with a small flashlight
in their possession.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Probable Sejjeration Apparent Cause
of Man Killing Wife and Self.
McCormick, Jan. 6.?From the
facts brought to light at the coroner's
inquest into the death of Tobe Bowen,
who killed his wife and then himself
two miles, from Mt. Carmel on
January 3, it seems that Bow.en and
his wife were not on good terms and
that his wife intended to leave him,
going to anotner pan ui uc owic iu
live. About 1 o'clock on January 3
Bowen came home and read a letter
which must have had some bearing
on the relations between himself and
his wife. He then shot his wife in
the face with a pistol, which did not
cause a very serious wound. His
wife ran into the yard screaming,
whereupon Bowen picked her up in
his arms and carried her into the
house and there shot her the second
time, killing her instantly. Just af'
ter Bowen shot his wife the second
time his little daughter, who is about
j eight years old, came running into
| the house. Bowen burned the letter
j he had read before killing his wife
! and told his little girl to burn the
I I
I pistol when he killed himself; that,
i if she failed to do so he would come |
I
| back to life and kill her. Bowen
I then shot himself, dying instantly,
j His little daughter did as her father
! had commanded and burned the pis
j tol with which Bowen did the kill1
ing. Bowen and his wife are survived
by several small children.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that Bowen and his wife came
i to their death by gunshot wounds
! in the hands of Tobe Bowen.

government control, the fuel
problem will be very much cleared up

BRITISH RECAPTURE TRENCH.
Counter-Attack Forces Germans to
Give up Position.
With the British Armies in France,
Jan. 6.?Freezing temperatures continue
to hold the British front in an
icy grip. Many of the roads are impassable
to motor cars, owing to the
snow drifts. The fighting necessarily
is desultory because of the weather
conditions.. The Germans, however,
are exceedingly active, carrying on
raids on various parts of the line.
Their exploit of yesterday morn-1
ing east of Bullecourt, in which they
captured an advanced British post, resulted
in a heavy toll to the attacking
troops. Late yesterday the British
organized a counter thrust and recaptured
the position.
There has been considerable activ!J~~

wrangling between the big guns, as a
reminder that the was has not been
finished. Aside from this, however,
comparative quiet prevails.
The Germans are industriously conducting
changes in their back areas,
which lends support to the general
impression that they intend to attempt
offensive operations unless
peace is concluded shortly.
Device to Conserve Fuel.
Gaffney, Jan 3.?Mr. J. P. Cudd, of
Cowpens, has introduced in Gaffney
a device by which fuel can be conserved
where grates are used, and it
is thought by people in Gaffney who
have seen it demonstrated that it will .
result in saving much fuel, and if this
is true, the invention is most timely.
Mr. Cudd's brother, S. S. Cudd, of
Union, is the inventor, and so certain
is he that it will do what he
claims he will install the device, and
if same is not entirely satisfactory
he will remove it without one cent
of cost. Those who have seen it say
that it is most simple, and that the
quaitity of coal required is only about
one-half of what it would be without
j the device. Mr. Cudd has had it
| patented, and it is his plan to exi
ploit it on a large scale in the near
future.
