Chester, Dec. II: Following close
" on the heels of the outbreak Of
smallpox at Great Falls, which was
promptly put under local quarantine
and regarded as likely to give no fur
ther trouble, comes the news from
Fort Lawn that eight or ten cases of
the disease have suddenly appeared
near that town. Mr.. Rhett Kelsey
the fact to Sheriff Colvin
last night, and the latter wired to DR..
c. Fred Williams. state health officer,
at Columbia this morning, and DR..
Williams is expected to arrive here this
evening to look into the situation.
There is much alarm around Fort
Lawn, and DR.. Williams will be asked
not only to have a general vaccina-
ton, but to enforce a rigid quaran-
tine. All of the children in the Ches-
ter graded schools who had not been
vaccinated were vaccinat-
ed two weeks ago, and other steps Will
be taken to prevent the disease from
getting into Chester.

Washington, December IL: Dis
quieting news received from Nicara-
qua at the state department from Of
fetal and unofficial sources today to
the effect that there Is danger OF an
attack by president Zelaya's forces be-
ing made on Bluefields, where there
are $50 Americans, resulted in orders
being sent by wireless to the pro-
tected cruiser Tacoma with ten guns
ON board and a full complement of
bIue Jackets to proceed under full
steam to Bluefields, there to join the
Des Moines and wait further orders.
The Prairie, now at Philadelphia, has
been ordered to take on board seven
hundred marines under the command
of Col. Biddle and steam as soon as
possible to Colon. The importance
and significance Of these orders are
minimized at the state department,
where II Is said the Tacoma has been
instructed to look out for American
interests at Bluefields. While the des-
tination of the Frairie is given as Co
Ion. the fact that she Is equipped with
wireless apparatus would make II
very easy for her destination to De
changed at any moment during ner
trip south. The most that wouid De
admitted as to the mission or these
vessels was that If any eventually
should make II necessary to use ma
rines or sailors on shore they would
be in readiness for such emergency.
The news that Zelaya probably would
avoid an engagement at Rama ana,
making a detour, would strike Blue
fields, the headquarters Of the revolu-
tionary army and provisional govern
ment, was received in official circles
here with some apprehension, and al
most Immediately a conference was
held in the office Of the secretary or
the navy, at which was present Sec
retary Meyer, Assistant Secretary
Winthrop, Admiral Wainwright and
Assistant Secretary Of State wilson.
A prompt decision was reached TO
hurry additional fighting material TO
the danger point In Bluefields. Thus
far there has been no intimation tnat
a landing Of marines or blue jackets
is in Immediate contemplation, but IT
is certain that they are being placed
in a position to meet any contingency.
1t is a fair assumption, however, that
should American lives be put In 1eop-
ardy, or American business interests
interfered with, prompt ana decisive
action will be taken. Navy officials,
while admitting that the marines
which are expected to land from the
Dixie at Colon today will be hurried
across the isthmus and put on board
the Buffalo, stated that that vessel
had received no orders to sail from
Corinto, but it Is pointed out that the
taking aboard Of 725 marines almost
certainly means an immediate sailing,
as otherwise the marines would have
been kept on shore till needed.

siderable damage to goods from fire
and smoke, the loss was not nearly as
heavy as II would have been had 1t
been necessary to turn water into the
big store room.
Low Water In the catawba.
Fort Mil Times: There probably Is
as little water in Catawba river at
present as there has been at any time
in several years. The low stage OF
water Is, of course, due to the drouth
which has obtained in this section and
in the valley Of the Catawba in North
Carolina for the last few weeks. AT
the Southern railroad bridge, three
miles south of town, the bed OF the
river Is visible for considerable dis
tance on the east side, and there PROB
ably is not two feet Of water covering
the old Nation ford at any point. The
rocks a few hundred yards above the
railroad bridge, which can not be seen
when the water stage is normal, are
now visible.
A Kings Mountain BulIet(T)
Mr. E. w. Pursley Of the firm Of Pur-
sley & Falls. sawyers. who recently
bought some of the trees on Kings
Mountain battle-ground, was in York
willie yesterday. and had with him a
small rifle bullet that he sawed out OF
the heart of a big pine that stood
abut rs yards from the national mon
ument. and which Mr.. Pursley thinks
was probably fired into the tree during
the battle of October Z, 1870. Years
ago, II was a common thing to saw
bullets out Of the old trees on the bat
tleground: but these bullets were gen
orally larger than the one Mr. Purs-
ley has. This particular bullet, how
ever, may easily have been used In
the old time squirrel rifle. which is said
to have been common in the battle. 1t
shows the marks Of having been run
In an ordinary bullet mold. and Is very
probably what Mr.. Pursley thinks 1t
is. Mr.. Pursley went on to say, how
ever, that 1t Is quite a common thing
to find modern pistol and rifle bullets
in the trees Of the vicinity.

SOME DEMOCRATIC CANDOR.

The Boone Democrat is one of the
few newspapers which is honest
enough to admit that large part Of
the responsibility for the passage OF
the Aldrich law without those amend
ments sought by the western senator's.
must be lodged with democrats.
After fighting for 'ttariff for rev.
enue only" and denouncing every
form of protection as robbery the
democrats of the senate give enough
votes every time to defeat any at
tept on the part of the so-called in-
surgents to lower the rates.
The Boone Democrat speaks of
this feature of tie situation as fol-
lows: tTo the chagrin and humilia-
tion of the democratic party We are
forced to admit that were it not for
the greedy avarice Of certain free
lances among the democrats in both
house and senate some reforms might
be accomplished in the present atti-
tude of portion Of the republican
membership"

Want to be strong7

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
breakfast every day. This advice is
coming from al sides as result of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
OF Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet d
heavy, greasy foods.
When ali is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
FIRST OF all. It is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
