I^ondon. June 6.?In a dispatch
from Petrograd The Morning Posts*
correspondent says:
"The River San. except on its lower

as Przemysl. 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."

Evangelist Fife Addresses Large Aud

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."
He further suhl. "I would like for

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. Car
ranza concluded that it contains noth?
ing other than helpfulness for the
constitutionalists' came, and it was
oitlcially announced today that his
reply to President Wilson would he
handed to John P. 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?

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.
(HEAVY FINE FOR GLENN.
Spartunhurg Man Ruled In Contempt
of Court.
Spartanburg, June 4.?Judge C. If.
Efird, in the court of common pleas
today, ruled W. S. Glenn, president
of the Security Trust company, in
contempt for hte assault upon T. E.
Screven, president of the Colonial
Trust company and a juror serving at
this term of court, and directed that
Mr. Glenn be confined in the county
jail for a period of 20 days or pay
a fine of $100. Through attorneys,
Sanders & DePass, notice of an ap?
peal to the,supreme court was given.
In the bond of $000 Mr. Glenn was re?
leased pending a return of the appeal
to the higher court.
Judge Efird held that he must pro?
tect the jurors of his court in their
rights and called attention to the
gravity of the offense. The case has
absorbed public attention for two days
on account of the prominence of the
parties and the new legal questions.
DISSATISFIED WITH CROP RE?
PORT.
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?

Thomas Taylor, charged with va?
grancy and attempting to obtain mon?
ey by false pretenses, was given $50

unlawful purposes, was found guilty
and given $."(? or -!0 days.
Tootsle Wilder was charged with
disorderly conduct. He plead guilty
and was given $10 or 20 days as his
sentence,
Anthony Ballard, disorderly con?

out several grades of bleached flour,
and the mills have modern machinery.
Dr. F. M. DWight, of Wedgetield.
writes as follows: "L> regard to our

SWIMS TO SAFETY.
Operator of Distillery Eludes Chero?
kee Officers.
Gaffney, June 6.?Sheriff W. W.
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?

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

Homo Destroyed in Business Section
<>J Town.
Olanta, June ?About 2 o'clock
Friday afternoon the home of John
Ft. 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. The lire originated in the
second story and the tlanvg were
bursting through the roof before it
was discovered. As there was little
breezu at the time the Olanta Motor
Company s garage, which was near
tlie Waters dwelling, was the only
other building damaged. Had this
been a frame building, it would have

Dreams Make Him Happy.
"One of the most contented men I
know," said a well-known specialist
on mental diseases who had just been
talking about grouches, "is a man
without a dollar to spr re. He's a pa
! tient of mine, and I've studied him
closely. His happlnesa is baaed on
dreams. And they are day dreams, at
that. At leart once a day he devotes
about an hour revelling in imagination
of what he would do to make his little
circle of friends happy if he were
worth a million, for example?and
this makes him happy. He paints some
very fine mental pictures. I assure
you. And the very best of it is, I am
firmly convinced he'd realize his
dreams If be ever got the million.
Then he'd be happier still. An odd
way of keeping even with fate, ian't

is likewise a gauge of your willingness

you cannot pay -cash for it. If every?

Queer English Custom.
It 1b customary in the Peak district
for the unmarried girls to peer
through the keyhole of the house early
on St. Valentine's morning before any
one else in the house it astir. They
believo that if this is done fasting,
omens of the year to come will be
seen. 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
