'?J - ?rominuut WHILE THE WORLD LOOKS O? AND WAITS FOR DECISIVE TIRN. DEADLY GERMAN MINE! England Astonished When Ship is De stroycd by German Mine in Verj Unexpected Place 011 Coast?Nc Great Change, The war all last week was watchec by a waiting world for an inkling ol some decisive change or movcmenl among the armies engaged that might lead to a decision in ihc great struggle that has now been going on for many weeks. There was no result. Events occured, it is true, wnicn reawakened interest, but the tight still went on and the dead lock which has been existing between the allied armies of England and France and the German forces was still kept. The battle which all the world is watching still swayed back and forth in the little district west of Flanders where the allied forces struggled to check the German advance to Calais, but ripples of war news were noted in widely separate points. First came the new rebellion in South Africa where the Boer leaders took the held against the union (government on the heels of the checking of the rebellous movement under Colonel Maritz. General Dew'rt was the famous antagonist of Lord Kitchener during the Boer war and the uprising now is treated by the British press as far more serious than the Maritz outbreak. An event perhaps second in potential importance was the reported German invasion of Angola, the Portuguese colony of West Africa. Whether this report is true or not, the disnatrh almost coincidental with the an nouncement that Manuel, former King of Portugal, offered his services to King George and is willing to take the field against Germany with the army of the Portuguese republic. According to report, Manuel recently was in Portugal. The unrest in Albania seemed to be growing. Not only have both Italy and Greece announced their intention of protecting their interests in this territory by force of arms but the Turks are said to be active in a campaign to send troop3 and proclaim Albania a part of the Ottoman empire. A Shock to England. Aside from these political events of the war England received a shock in the news that a steamer, the Manchester Commerce, had been sunk off the coast of Ireland by a German mine. Up to the present time all such disasters have been confined to the eastern coast. The region where this vessel was struck is in the direct route of the great Atlantic liners from Liverpool and the Clyde line steamers from New York and Canadian ports. The inference is the Germans by penetrating this area hoped to reach the transports bearing Canadian troops to the British Tsles. Of iUr. 1 f In llir. Vcsftv I rxulo 11 \ L ill VII l.iL * ?

The German rush to reach the Fr mch coast would appear for the time being- held in check, but the fiercest fighting- contiued with the Germans delivering hard er blows on the line between Dixmude and Ppres, following their failure tc make progress betvvc en Dixmude and the coast. British naval guns it is said % resumed their bombardment along the coast ar.d colossal German losses reported. The Belgians, London newspapers admitted suffered terribly but of the losses of the French and English no mention was made. Weak Points Attacked. While the Germans were makiqg their supreme effort in Flanders the allies were quick to press the advantage offered at other points in the line by the removal of German troops u the German right wing. This probably accounted for the progress claim ed by the allies near Soissons, at Berry-Au-Bao in the center and to the east of Nancy whore the Govmans, according to the t rench official announ cement, were driven across the front ior. From all these points it is un derstood the Germans took men am flung them into Belgium.

The most important legislation that reached the point of being ordered for radilieation last week is the reduction in acreage bill. It has, in free! conference, been reduced to a sinvple and workable p'an; it is conte^d^uTlt is thp sininlo?F firwl mncf 1 r .?w ....v. Iiivuv VVIIO\ 1 V tlllTV | of all the suggestions. All questions j as to how many acres shall be planted to the animal or how many bales shall i be raised to the mule have been eliminated and it is simply stated, that when a farmer plants ten acres in cotton that he must plant twenty acres in grain or something else. Here is the act as it will be submitted to the Governor: Text of Measure. Section 1.

Said penalty and the cost of the proceeding in which the same is recovered shall be a lien upon all of the cotton crop of the person adjudged to pay the same subject only to lien existing prior to the passage of this Act and liens for taxes; Provided, that the judgment for said penalty and costs he entered and enrolled in the office of the Clerk of Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas as other judgments are now allowed to be entered or enrolled where the recovery is had in such Court, and when so entered shall constitute a lien on all of the property of the person adjudged to pay the same. And, provided further, that where the recovery is had in the Magistrate Court the judgment be entered and enrolled with the same effect in the oflice of the clerk of General Sessions and Common Plea as judgments of Magistrates' Courts are now allowed to be entered and enrolled in said office.

E-71 |?^j PELLAGRA IS CAUSED II V ONE SIDED DIET. | Government Investigators Find Thai Disease is in no Way Contagious Or Infectious. Savannah, Gn., Ovt. 25.?"The government investigators have come to the definite conclusion that pellagra comes from living on a one sided diet and that it is in no way contagious or infectious," said Dr. Joseph Goldberger, United States Public health service today. Dr. Goldberger came to Savannah for a conference relative to the progress of the studies and researches being made at the United States Marine hospital into the subject. "Only those whose diet contains too little of classes of proteid foods, such as milk, lean meat or legumes (beans and peas) develop the disease," said Dr. Goldberger. "The treatment and prevention are therefore very simple. Those who are sick with pellagra should be fed an abundance of milk, eggs, lean meat and beans or peas. If the disease has not gone too far recovery is certain. To cure nellatrra eat beans; to prevent pellagra, cat more beans." Dr. Goldberger is at the head of the commission of public health service experts which has been investigating the pellagra problem. The result of their investigation is embodied in a report entitled "The Treatment and Preventtion of Pellagra," which has just been issued by the United States public health service.

BLEASE HELD BILL UP Legislature Last Week Passed Unique Act Whereby Each Act Should Go Into Effect Immediately Upon Being Signed. The people of this State voted in the general election last Tuesday, but they did not vote on the Stat? Bond Bill to furnish funds for handling the cotton crop of the farmers at 5 cents per pound. | After spending last Saturday in idle nesa and singing the Legislature, as to both branches, adjourned until last Monday when both branches met again. By unique legislation the general assembly passed last week an act making all enactments of this special session effective immediately after the ing signed by Governor I>!ea.c;e. This made possibly the borrowing tf $110,000 to meet expenses of this session,' as to this act makes the appropriation 1 act immediately effective, despite the failure to incorporate a provision to this effect in the measure. The senate reconsidered the vote which tabled a third reading bill re-1 luting to the storage of cotton, killed' all but the enacting words of the nun-, sure * nd substituted a new title and j 1 other matter which provided that all # I acts passed by the session sb >uld b -1 come immediately effective unless otherwise stated in the particular acts. The senate reconvened at noon Monday and tho house again at 2 o'clock. The bond issue bill is dead, to all intents and purposes. The electors of, this State were not given an opportunity in the general election Tues- j day of voting on the question of the State issuing $25,000,000 i.i bonds for the purchase of cotton by the State at 9 cents per pound. This was the situation in regard to this interesting problem when the general assembly adjourned last Saturday. Governor Blease had at that time re mained firm in his refusal to sign the measure and students of the State constitution in both houses admitted that the chief executive could, under his constitutional privilege, retain the unsigned act in ins possession until midnight Tuesday. Whether the chief executive would veto the bill or hold it for a "pocket veto" could not be learned frohi him then. Should the governor return the bill neither branch of the legislature could muster sufficient strength to override the veto. All hope friends of the measure had that the bill will become a law and be submitted to a referendum vote lay in the possibility of the governor signing the bill?and that hope was admitted as almost forsaken. As his final word in an interview Governor Blease answered a question relative to a forthcoming veto with the declaration: "It is the most redicqlous measure I ever heard of."

This special session of the legisla- t ture convened Tuesday, Oct. (>th upon | the request of Governor Blouse to attempt to devise means of alleviating the distressing financial conditions as a result of the war now involving prac tically all of Europe ami Asia. Principal accomplishment of the general assembly was the pasnage of the measure limiting the production of cotton next year to thai, quantity ^ which can be grown on one-third of the lands cultivated. Whether this act is constitutional is doubted by some members, both supporters and opponents of the bill. Friends of the measure expressed the hope, however, that a decision by the State supreme^ court would be sufficiently delayed a? to make possible the operation of the law until after the cotton planting season of 1915. In this event it was claimed that the measure would large- i ly have accomplished the desired end ?that the cotton crop of 1915 might be decreased while the surplus of the'f 1914 crop is being consumed. The members worked solely toward the end of accomplishing something that would better the strained financial status of the State's inhabitants, it was declared on the floors of both bodies last week, and practicality no. utterances of a fractional nature wori| heard. Some members admitted that what legislation had been passed would not afford particular relief, but in each instance excused themselves of this condition by the declaration, in substance, that this crisis is not one for which remedial legislation couhttf be devised. The State treasury is, at present, an institution in. .name only, and the funds for payment of the expenses of this session will he loaned by Columbia banks. While State Treasurer Carter did not discuss the financialj condition of the State members of the' genera! assembly declared "not a penny remained to the State's credit." Plans fo Support Ministers.
