Colonel G? is a fine commander,
but not a musican. He sent for the 4
chief musician of his regimental
band and delivered this scathing
criticism: '
"I notice a lack of uniformity
about the band which must be reg- |
ulated. Yesterday morning they '
were out on parade, and the largest
man in the band was playing a little
bit of an instrument?flute or something
of the kind?and you had the
big drum played by a small man.
That sort of thing doesn't look well,
and must be attended to. I want the .
smallest men to play the small instruments
and the big men the big
instruments. Another thing?I want
the trombone players to slide their
instruments in and out in unison. It
annoys me to see them all out of step
^ with their hands."?Pittsburg Chron- :

MILLIONS FOR CHARLESTON
URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL CARRIES
HUGE AMOUNT.
Between $22,000,000 and $32,000,000
to Make Charleston
Great War Port.
Washington, Feb. 6.?Between
$22,000,000 and $32,000,000 will be
spent by the government in the development
of Charleston as a war
port, according to plans now being
completed. The money is carried in
the great urgent deficiency bill soon
to be considered in congress.
This is the fact behind the dispatch
sent to the News and Courier
by its Washington correspondent last
Saturday night. Because of beingbound
in confidence as to the details
the correspondent could not then go
into details or definitely describe the
developments in progress.
Whaley Makes Statement.
Congressman Richard S. Whaley,
however, was in a position today to
make a statement for publication, and
in doing so he tells the readers of the
News and Courier what the government
programme contemplates and
the stupendous total of expenditures
which show that this is to be the
greatest single project ever undertaken
at Charleston or at any other
point in that part of the country.
When asked today if he could not
say something for publication Mr.
Whaley replied:
"There have been under way for
several months examinations of
Southern nnrts hv the war He
partment for the purpose of using
one of them as a port
for storage and embarkation.
Owing to the deep water of thirty
feet from the sea, the large harbor
and splendid fortifications, Charleston
has been selected. It is proposed
to erect permanent buildings of the
most modern type for storage of supplies,
ammunition, embarkation, etc.
To Spe^d Vast Sums.
"In all the ^government will take
between three and four thousand
acres of land at Charleston and will
expend between $22,000,000 and
$32,000,000. In the bill to be reported
by the committee on appronations
I have assurances this
amount will be included and I am
confident it will be passed by the
house and senate. The designation
of the port of Charleston is a recognition
of its availability to be made
Dne of the great ports on the Atlantic.
"The Allies' shipping will also
[Joubtless be sent through our port in
?reat part. The plans have all been
made and it is only a question of a
short time before the government will
actually commence work.
In Definite Shape Xow.
'.'Although I have been working on
this matter for many months, it had
not assumed such a definite shape
that I felt I could make an announcement.
However, I feel it is now practically
assured and that Charleston
will be one of the biggest ports of
the country in. the storage and
handling of supplies for transshipment
to the troops on the other side.
"The structures to be erected are
not temporary, but of a permanent
lature, and therefore, after the war is
nver, the port will still be one of the
big bases for the government. The
tremendous benefit to the city and
State can be readily appreciated and
[ am glad to have contributed my
share to its accomplishment."
Unsinkable Ships for Troops.
New York, Feb. 9.?Means have
been found to make troop transports
unsinkable by submarines, according
co a statement made here tonight by
William L. Saunders, vice chairman
of the naval consulting board, in an
iddress at a dinner of the University
of Pennsylvania alumni.
Mr. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently commandeered by the
government "now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding torpedo."
"I can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld,"
he added. "On the contrary, I believe
it is well that the enemy may
some to realize the time has been
reached when American transports
ire ready for the transportation of
our troops which that enemy cannot
sink. This ship may have a noie
thirty or forty feet in diameter blown
in her side and she will remain afloat.
Such a hole should waterlog but one
tenth of the honeycombed airtight
:ells."
Appropriate.
"Why do you have an apple as
your trademark?" asked a client of
the cash tailor.
"Well, well," replied the man, rubbing
his hands, "if it hadn't been for
an apple where would the clothing
business be today?"?Puck.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother's Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught.
Relief From Headache,
Malaria, Chills, Etc.
i
Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston,
of this place, writes: *'l am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I
TTTTi/-\n otttt nf iia rhilfl.
, >vao a Vjiiiiu. ?? ucu auj ui uw vu..~
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
! would take Black-Draught pretty regular
until the livgr acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. "We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lot3 of
doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught
when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treatment
of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of its merit
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagreeable
symptoms as headache, biliousness,
constipation, Indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt ana natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's,
the original and genuine. E 7d
