TOOlffl CHOP
fEED BEING RAISED AND AI
(READY MARKETED IN COFFEE
COUNTY.
Interesting at this time because of
the efforts to raise tobacco in Sumter
county is the dispatches in the state
press concerning the yield in Coffee
county:
DOUGLAS, Aug. 15.—Over 1,000
pounds of tobacco will be marketed by
the farmers of Coffee county this year,
most of it having been grown near
Nicholls. This tobacco, at the pre
vailing prices, will be marketed at
from 10 to 12 1-2 cents per pound. The
first carload was shipped from Nich
olls on last Saturday, and was sent to
the market at Lake City, S. C., which
is the market used last season. The
balance of the crop will likely be
shipped during August.
Something like 150 acres of tobacco
were planted in Coffee county this
year, but it was such a success that
the acreage will, perhaps, be doubled
another year, and the farmers are
making their preparations with that
end in view.

FREEDOM OF BITT BOES
TO SUBMARINE HEROES
(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Aug. 17.—Next to naiming
a new baby or a statue or a bridge or
tower after Hindenburg, granting the
freedom of a city to the commander of
a successful submarine is Germany’s
popular diversion at present. No less
than four naval commanders have thus
been honored and have been made
“honor citizens” of communities large
and small.
The first one to be thus recognized
was Frigate Captain von Mueller, com- 1
mander of the sea raider Emden. The
city of Emden, after the ship’s destruc
tion, named von Mueiler its honor cit
izen, while his birthplace, Blanke i
burg, paid him similar tribute.
The city of Karlsrhue took the same
steps in the case of Frigate Captain
Erich Koehler, commander of the
Karlsruhe, and Otto Weddigen, cap
tain lieutenant of the U-9 and U-29,
who perished with the latter submar
ine, has been similarly honored by
hig birthplace, Herford. The latest
case is that of the city of Kreuznac l ,
which has conferred its freedom on
Captain Lieutenant Herising, com
mander of the U-21 and the U-51.

in tlhe stock of gold in the United
States represents the losses of the
precious metal to this country by the
principal nations of Europe on ac

Hr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black-
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale

5150,000,000 POTASH
DEPOSIT ON PACIFIC
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—When it
was suggested that the crop raisers in
the United States are "up against it”
for potash since the war cut off the
supply from Germany and shot the
price up from S3B to $240 to $250 per
ton, Dr. Thomas N. Norton, commercial
agent of the department of commerce
laughed.
The attitude of the agricultural folk
of the United States reminded the doc
tor of that old familiar picture of the
fat man scanning tjie horizon for his
cocker spaniel, while the lost pup
stood calmly out of sight in the cool
ing shade of the fat man’s stomach.
“Why,” said the doctor, “there is
$150,000,000 worth of potash going to
waste in the kelp, on our Pacific coast.
All we need to do is to go and cut it
and supply the United States with the
$15,000,000 worth of potash it used
every year. It can be done at $5 less
per ton than Germany can supply it !i
peace times. We would still have
$135,000,000 worth to sell outside of
the United States
Dr. Norton doesn’t know whether the
American Fat Man will step back and
find the poodle or not, but he says
some motions have been made in that
direction, though they have been rath
er spasmodic and not on a very large
scale.
“To be handled economically,’ said
he. “this kelp must be handled on n
large scale. Some parts of the coast
will yield two cuttings a year. All you
have to do with it is to let it dry, grind
it, pack it and send it to the consum
er.”
GERMANS ‘FEEDING
FISHES' IN ADRIATIC
RERUN, Aug. 17.—Under the sar
castic heading “A Sign of the Highe-’
Culture,” the Vorwarts quotes from the
Neue Freie Presse of Vienna that dig
nified organ's editorial note on the
drowning of Italian sailors in the
Adriatic: “The fish and lobsters of
the Adriatic have long had no such
good times as these. In the Southern
Adriatic they are eating up almost the
w’hole crew of the Leon Gambetta. In
the Middle Adriatic their larders are
stocked yb those Italians whom we
did not succeed in rescuing from the
Turbine, and in the north the fishes’
table has a richer menu every day.”
ARGUMENT BEGUN
ON MILLION DOLLARS
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, Aug. 17. —In the state Su
preme Court today arguments are be
ing heard on the suit for $102,000,000
brought by the minority stockholders
in the New Haven railroad against the
former directors, in which it is sought
to have the former directors held liable
for the expenditure of the vast sums
for street railwway and steamship
lines. The minority stockholders seek
to have the money paid back to the
corporation, claiming it was spent
wrongfully. Specific allegation is
made that $112,000,000 was spent on
street railways in New England that
are worth only $56,000,000, that $28,-
000,000 went for steam railroads the
actual value of which was $12,000,000.
that $32,000,000 was paid for Boston
and Maine stock worth not over $lO.-
000,000, and that $37,500,000 was used
up on the Westchester road for prop
erty that did not exceed $19,000,000 in
value.
The Supreme Court has alreadv
turned down the suit, but an amende 1
action has been filed and is now the
subject or argument between the law
yers for the minority stockholders and
the railroad attorneys. The court has
decided that a stockholder has no
personal right to action against direc
tors who have defrauded a corporation
and thus affected the value of his
stock. Such wrongs, it is decreed, are
against the corporation itself, and
except through that, have no relation
to the stockholder.

WOMEN ANGRILY WANT
POSTMASTERSENTENGED
HACKENSACK, N. J., Aug. 17.—The
women who were behind the prosecu
tion of former Postmaster George A.
Hurd of Haworth, N. J., on charges
brought by his pretty assistant, Miss
Martha L. Conrad, do not conceal their
anger over Hurd's disappearance after
they worked hard to bring about his
conviction. The sentencing of Hurd,
who was convicted last May, has bee.i
postponed from time to time, until to
day, when he is ordered to appear. For
a dozen weeks since his conviction,
Hurd has been at liberty. Twice the
case has been called up for sentence,
but Hurd failed to appear. He faces a
sentence of $2,000 fine, fifteen years
ijnprisonment, or both. Hurd is alleg
ed t o have left home in June and has
not been seen since. His counsel said
recently that Hurd was in Arkansas.
His wife and children say they do not
know where he is, and the bondsmen
have been- worrying.
Mrs. Herbert Van Dusen and Mrs.
Benjamin Olcotto f Haworth and oth
ed women who were interested in the
prosecution of the case, are outspoken.
"There is something wrong,” said
Mrs. BVan Dusen. “The man was con
victed, released on the mere bail of
$2,000, and now he is gone. The excuse
that the record could not be trans
cribed is too shallow. I just wish that
we women could get hold of Hurd and
handle him. He would not now be
missing, but would be in jail. We will
be in court to see that this man go's
his just deserts.”

OLDEST LAW SOIL IN
GEORGIA SOON PASSES
(Special to Times-Reeorder.)
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 17.—The su
preme court will shortly have to pass
on the oldest law suit in Georgia. It
is the case of “Cicero Wilson, et al.,
vs. Emory and Claude Wood, adminis
trators,” and it comes up from Judge.
Brand ,of the Athens superior court,
who has over-ruled the original mo
tion for a new trial.
Nearly 50 years ago. in 1858. to be
exact, this case was first called, in the
Jackson superior court. In its first
shape it was an application for dower.
All of the original parties and attor
neys area ow dead, including more
than one judge before whom it was
tried. It will now probably go to the
supreme court fir the third or fourtu
time. Judge Russell tried it, and
judges prior to his time have had a
shot at it, but it has never been fin
ally settled.
