The Russians removed all their stores and munitions from Przemysl. This was completed Wednesday and during the succeeding night the Russians quietly retired to 111*0. pared positions east of the fortress." ? The Times correspondent says: "By the capture of Przemysl the enemy has come into possession not of a fortress but of a heap of ruins. Everything of value had been grad? ually removed during the past month. "The loss of the fortress does not decide the Uallclan campaign but it emphasizes the necessity for a greater supply of munitions and equipment, which the Russian industries are un? able singlehanded to provide. Until these supplies can reach us it will perforce be necessary for the Rus? sians to assume the defensive." DICH IN WASHINGTON. Sumter Postmaster There on Business of Importance. Washington.

Evangelist Fife Addresses Large Aud leiuv on Origin of ( hrlstlan Church. From the Daily Item, June 5. The largest audience so far In the meeting heard Evangelist Roger H. Fife Igst night in his sermon on the Campbell-Stone Movement for the Restoration of the New Testament Church." The evangelist gave a brief review of the two sermons he had given the previous nights, leading up to the movement of the Campbells and their colaborers. He then told of how these men members of differ? ent denominations desiring that the prayer of Jesus for the unity of his people might be answered, and seeing the impossibility of getting them to agree on the various creeds and books of discipline of the churches, propos? ed that, since all believed in the Bible as God's Inspired record and the suf? ficient rule and guide to faith and practice, that they all lay aside the divisive names and doctrines, and unite as Christians on the Bible alone. He described In the most instructive and Interesting way the work of these early ntminer* and told how they built wiser than they themselves seemed to know, when they proposed that, in matters of faith, they '-peak where the Bible speaks, and where the MbH in silent they were t0 hf ?!? lent."

W. T. P, Spruit Tells South Carolina ' Furniers How to Curt' for Crop When it is ( ut. Harvln, June 5.?Now that the time is near at hand When the wheat growers of So ith Carolina and the South, who have no! heretofore had much experience In the harvesting and Curing Of this grain, it would bo well for every farmer to read what Mr. W. t. l*. riprott, of Koreaton, s. c, has to say with reference to same. Mr. BprOtt was bom and reared in the principal wheat growing section of North Carolina and his advice is val? uable. He says: Having been raised in a Wheat growing state, (North Carolina) and having experience in handling it, a word to the fanners in this county who are now at the business might be of some benefit to them. ' Let your, wheat gal thoroghly ripe before cut? ting. The grain should be firm. Then tie in medium size bundles (if you J have not a hinder), shock by putting j j at least 8 bundles in a shock and 2 bundles after breaking open at band and place on top. If done properly the wheat will keep in the field for 30 days, should you not get dry weather to haul it in. If dry when hauled in it is ready to thresh and grind. I am astonished at the line wheat grown In this country?as good as 1 ever saw grown In North Carolina. What is it we cannot grow here? Mr. James E. Anderson, sales agent of the Wingo Kllett Crump Shoe Co., of Richmond, Va., for this territory, grows wheat quite extensively on his farm at Rodophil, Va., and this cor? respondent, having decided to give larger publicity to the method of how best to cure wheat, for we South Car? olinians know what to do with it when it is ground and ready for cooking, made this further inquiry of Mr. An? derson, knowing his long and exten? sive experience in this particular agri? cultural endeavor, and he voices and approves every word that Mr. Sprott has written, with, possible addenda, tha,t the wheat after threshing shoqld not be placed in too great bulk at once, and allowed to remain too long in this state before moving to effect a change in temperature. For the benefit of all farmers every? where it is hoped that other papers will kindly copy and publish this. CARRANZYS REPLY FRIFNDLY. Sees No Fumlty in President Wilson's Warning. Vera Cruz, June 4.?"Appreciative, friendly und serene." Such will be the tone of Gen. Carranza's reply to President Wilson's note. After care? fully considering the note, Gen.

Silliman, personal representative of President Wilson In Mexico, for transmission to Wash? ington within the next few days, prob? ably on Monday or Tuesday. ivs the note has been read more and more by Carranza officials and the cabinet, it has created a feeling that President Wilson intends no harsh action towards Mexico. A dlatlnOOt feeling prevails that a more definite attitude at Washington will /esult In hastening a solution of the Mexican problem without foreign aid. Gen. Carranza expresses the opin? ion that his intended reoccupntion of Mexico City soon will place the con? stitutionalists in a bette?* position to bi recognized by Washington. SPECIAL MESSENGER SAILS.

I Germany Disclaims Intention to Molest Galfllgfat ami Offers Reparation tori passage Canned by Torpedoing of steamer?Explanation of Mistake. Washington, June 4.?Germany, in a note cabled to the State department today by Ambassadoi Gerard at Ber? lin, expressed regrets that through "an Unfortunate accident" a German submarine had torpedoed the Ameri- j can steamer Oulfllght, and declared itself "ready to furnish full recom? pense lor the damage thereby sus? tained by American citizens." I In the same communication the ; German foreign office said it had not | been possible to clear up fully the {case of the American steamer dish? ing, reported attacked by a German aeroplane, and asked that the Tinted States communicate all Informs on in its possession concerning this inci- | dent. Blame for the attack on the Gulf- j light was placed by the foreign office I upon the proximity of two British I patrol boats and the absence from the I steamer's freeboard of the distinctive [markings usually carried by neutral (ships. "That the attacked steamer carried the American flag." the note added, "was lirst observed at the mo? ment of firing the shot." The Oulfllght was torpedoed In the English channel five weeks ago while carrying oil from Port Arthur, Texas, for Rouen, France. She was towed to Crow's Sound and beached for re? pairs. Two seamen were drowned when the crew took to the boats and the captain died of heart trouble the next day. The expression of regret and offer of reparation are in con? formity with tns principle outlined in a circular Germany recently sent to neutral nations disclaiming intention of attacking neutral vessels carrying noncontraband.

Farmers Say That Estimate of Cotton Crop is Much too Lurge. Harvin, June 4.?There is much complaint throughout the State at the apparent great error made in report? ing the condition of the cotton crop in South Carolina on May 25th last, to the Federal government, making this condition at the time far greater and better than the facts in the case at the time warranted, and many have indicated their intention to report the discrepancy to their respective congressmen and the two United States senators from South Carolina. The cotton crop in this State accord? ing to some of the most conservative estimators is fully 25 days late and at best the condition on May 25th was not over 02 per cent, compared with a perfect crop. Evidently according to the opinion of a large number most capable of judging, some one has made a great mistake in reporting the actual conditions for this State to the Federal government. In the Police Court. Several cases were heard by Mayor Jennings, acting as recorder, Satur? day: Thomas Taylor, charged with va? grancy and attempting to obtain mon? ey by false pretenses, was given $50 or ">0 days.

He plead guilty and was given $10 or 20 days as his sentence, Anthony Ballard, disorderly con? duct and n breach of trust, not guilty.

Thomas, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Jos. Watkins and Special Of? ficer Arthur Hopper, captured and destroyed a distillery last night which was in operation in the Thickety mountain section of Cherokee county. There were two men working at the plant, but only one of them, Jim Peake, a negro, was captured, the other man making his escape by swimming the creek which was near at hand. The plant was a ^mall one, only about 25 or 30 ballons capacity. The officers found only, one gallon of very white corn whiskey. Making Shrapnel in Car and Locomo? tive Works. By the middle of May war contracts for ammunition already placed in the United States were estimated at $400, 000,000 and contracts for foodstuffs, wearing apparel, horses, automobiles, etc., at $500,000,000 more. The or? ders for shrapnel, which ultimately were so much advertised and led to some of most curious market phe? nomena that Wall Street has ever Witnessed, did not begin to be given until March and April. Very few man? ufacturers were in a position to take them. Their plants were not equipped for this sort of work and the question of arranging credits was a most dif? ficult one. The first bonaflde contract was that placed through the Canadian Car & Foundry Company, lor 5,000, 000 shrapnel, at a price of $8:5,000, 000. This was distributed very gener? ously among equipment building com panics on this side of the border. Concerns that were in the business of building cars and locomotives and making railroad supplies, but whose plants were operating on only 20 to 25 per cent, of capacity, were glad in? deed to find employment for their rapidly disintegrating forces and for the capital invested in machinery and buildings ,and were willing to install such new machinery aa was required for the character of the work. A con? siderable amount of the machinery in? stalled will have to he "scrapped" af? ter the war is over, but this fact is covered in the profit allowed under th0 terms of agreement. Several plants have already started to enlarge. The Westinghouse ESlectrio Company, whic h has secured one order for 2, 000,000 titles and is expecting another for nearly as large an amount, will probably enter permanently iuto the rifle and ammunition supply business.

Water on Main street In the heart of the business section was totally destroyed by lire. Nearly all of the household goods were lost, including a piano which was only recently pur? chased. The building and household furniture were partially covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been a defective stove flue.

For instance, should a cock and hen pass together, the girl may be sure that sue will be married ere the year is out; If she sees a robin alone It is a sign that she will have a fortune left her; if a sparrow flies up to the door and pecks about as though for crumbs, she may* take It as a warning* to be careful, and that her good name will be in danger un? less she take heed; while, if a hen stroll by, it Is a sign that she will be an old maid. Regulates Exposures Automatically. In making bromide prints and en? largements it is necessary to have a red or amber light glowing while the paper Is being manipulated, and the white one is called into play while the exposure is taking place. .After this the red light is again needed. Where the electric light is made use ! of for this purpose a French automatio j device simplifies these operations. A pointer is placed on the dial at the number of seconds' exposure, th^n the operator pulls upon a chain and the red light goes out and white light comes on for the exposure for the right number of seconds, then the red light is automatically thrown on and re? mains lit while the operator changes the paper for the next exposure, or until the chain is again pulled, and so on. The device la useful for mak? ing many exposures from the same negative. Panama Canal.
