In Elmer Walters new sensational comedy drama A Thorougbbred Tramp events and incidents are pre- sented apparently at haphazard in the first act and developed in the second act, while the action eliminates in a scene provoking irresistible laughter, upon which the curtain falls in the succeeding act. The piece is said to contain many ingenious stage tricks and surprises and the cast promised us. which includes Elmer Walters and Theresa Belmont, is said to be partic- ularly fitted to their respective roles. "A Thoroughbred Tramp" will be seen at Hollands new opera house tonight.

To BEFoG THE ENEMY.-A remarka-
BILE shell Of a new kind that has just
been introduced into the German army
is stated to be receiving the close at
tention of the British war office. Fly
the introduction of cartridge contain
ing amorphous phosphorus into the or
binary charge of smokeless powder a
thick white smoke is emitted when the
shell bursts, thus showing the gunner,
even at the greatest distance, how close
the projectile has gone to the enemy's
position.
By increasing the proportion of this
projectile, an operation that does not
lessen the bursting effect, it is held to
be possible to deposit in front Of the
enemy's position a wall Of thick white
smoke, which for many seconds will al
together obliterate his view of the field.
The experiments in the German army
have proved highly satisfactory, and
it is said that the invention is almost
sure to be adopted in England.-Lon-

CHERRY TREE LOSSES.
Some Spartanburg Women Caught
In the Collapse.

Some Spartanburg Women Caught
In the Collapse.
The sudden end Of the cherry tree
business caught good many Spartan
burg women and girls who have inves-
ted $12 in 1t and have never drawn a
twenty. They are sadder but wiser.
They went into 1t thinking, Of course,
the business was honest and all right
and 1t was not until The Journal began
to expose 1t that they became aware
Of its character. The post office peo-
pie say the concern had done large
business here before the articles began
to appear in The Journal; but after
that no more money was sent to the
concern from here.
There are others here, however, who
have regularly received their $40
month for a number Of months and
they are heartbroken over the breaking
somewhat puzzled to know just how to
feel over what they have made out of
it, which in the end came out Of the
pockets Of their friends whom they
induced to 60 into 1t by their represen-
tations Of its excellence and straight
forwardness. One lady came here from
an adjoining county and has been at
tending one Of the schools and meet
ing her expenses out Of the $40, which
regularly came every month. She was
very angry when The Journal began to
attack the business and did not believe
what was said Of its impractical ma
ture She has drawn over 500 out Of
It, and could not understand why 1t
was not a good thing.
It may be that some Of the money
that has been recently paid into the
thing may be recovered. The men
who ran it made so much money that
they did not know what to do with 1t
and filled all the banks in Western
North Carolina with it, not daring to
confine their deposits to one bank. An
effort will probably be made by the
courts to locate this money and divide
it out among the victims as far as 1t
will go. It Is also possible that those
who got money out of it as agents may
be compelled to disgorge for the ben
eft of these who lost.
A young man who was in this city
Yesterday and who has been connected
with the business said that the pro-
prietors Of it made money so fast as to
take their breath away. The owner
ship changed frequently because the
money came in so rapidly as to scare
them. 1t was necessary to put on ex-
ira postal clerks on the railroad lead
ing to Henrietta to handle the mail
and the post Office at Henrietta was
fairly submerged with the $12 remit
tances. After q man was In the COM
pany for a few days he would make
more money than he had seen before
in all his life and not wanting the thing
to collapse while he was in he would
sell out and let somebody else hold 1t
for while.
The scheme is one Of the nerviest i'm
positions on human credulity that was
ever operated in the south. If the
newspapers had not exposed the thing
it would have extended over the entire
country and enveloped in its net hum
dreds of thousands Of innocent women.
