.CHAUFFEURS
 MEET DEATH
TELLS HOW MEN WHO DRIVE AUTOMOBILES HAVE TO
 FACE MUSIC.
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, OCT. 1.-The exploits of the daring automobile drivers w whiz along the fringe of the shell-torn battle front, and sometimes into it, on missions of military duty that have cost many a life, are as remarkable as the aerial dashes in this war.
 Thousands of luxurious touring cars and hmousines that once graced the boulevards of Paris are now employed in this service and many of them are driven by their wealthy owners, who rank as privates, and are comrades with professional chauffeurs. They wear uniforms marked with an "A" on the arm. Little is heard of their individual deeds, which led the Figaro to say their service was "obscured, In reply the Figaro printed on it's first page letter from one of these daring drivers, a Paris lawyer, that speaks for itself. It follows:
 'Obscuredv The word is quickly said. There is too much 'obscured.' And one has reason for being so who is forced to remain far from the front. Thus the automobile service is Obscur- ed. But the Figaro ought to say that in their obscurity the autOmObilists know how to die and that numerous indeed have been those who already have fallen.
 If, at the beginning of the war, one saw automobiHsts enjoying a ride in the woods or with their cars sta toned before fashionable restaur- ants, that time has passed. That should be known.
 "The automobile squad to which l belong is submitted to the most rigid military discipline We have three roll calls a day. We do not sleep at home. No one quits the garage dur ing hours of service.
 "The other day, about nine in the morning, the quartermaster entered the garage. Everyone was at his post. The machines were all equipped tanks filled, provisions in the hampers, car pines ready-everything to show that. we don't just merely make a run around the lake.
 "'They want a car? cried the quart ermaster. Who can go?'
 Every man answered IT.
 "One of our comrades, Jean R, was chosen. A turn of the crank and the car was gone. Where? No one asked One is too much accustomed to seeing these machines depart to put the question. They go, remain absent, many days, sometimes.

Historic Cities Bombarded.

The Turkish official statement Oh
December II says: "A British cruiser
unsuccessfully bombarded a watch
tower between Jappa and GAIA, N
Palestine, on the Mediterranean"
The mention of these historic sea-
ports in connection with the fighting
carried on throughout almost the
whole of the eastern hemisphere,
conjures up memories of their past.
GAIA is the place where Samson
got "roped in" by designing woman
among the daughters Of the enemies
of the children Of Israel, but made
successful getaway. The Bible ac-
count says: "And it was told the
Gazites, saying, Samson is come
hither. And they compased him IN,
and laid wait for him all night in
the gate of the city, and were quiet
all the night, saying, in the morning,
when it is day, we shall kill him.
And Samson lay till midnight, and
arose at midnight, and took the doors
of the gate of the city, and the two
posts, and went away with them, bar
and all, and put them upon his
shoulders, and carried them up to
the top on a hill that is before He
bron."
Joppa is the seaport whence Jonah
took a ship for Tarschish in seeking
to avoid the command of the Lord to
warn the Ninevites of their wicked
ness. We all know what happened
to Janah. At Joppa Peter brought
back to life Tabitha, otherwise known
as Dorcas, after she had been laid
out for burial. 1t was also at Joppa
that Peter had his remarkable vision
which convinced him that "there was
nothing unclean which the Lord had
cleansed," and after that it is to be
assumed that Peter INDUCED in food
he had never before eaten. Joppa
also was the seaport where the ships
that brought the cedars that were cut
from Lebanon were unloaded, the
timber to be transported to Jerusa-
lem to be used in the construction OF
the temple under the reign of Solo,
mon.
GAIA has a population at the pres
ent time Of about $4,000, while Jop-
pa has a population of something
like 10000.

A TRUE SNAKE STORY.
'.Doc" johnson, Colored, Killed Large
Number of Deadly Reptiles.

DOC" Johnson, negro who lives
near Elko, is the champion snake kill
er of Barnwell county. About two
weeks ago he was engaged in getting
out some shingles on the plantation
of Mrs. D. NJ Johnson and
had cut down large cypress
tree in pond He had heard
a terrible rafting noise and investi-
CATION disclosed the fact that the hoi-
low stump was the den of a tribe OF
rattlesnakes. When the smoke OF
battle had cleared away, doc" had
killed thirteen large snakes and sew
eral smaller ones. The largest meas
ured five feet in length and they all
had rattles, ranging ininumber from
eight to twenty-five. Three large
snakes succeeded in making good
their escape.
While the gentleman who reported
the above occurrence was not an eye
witness, he assured the writer that it
is a true snake story, as he was told
the facts by a friend who saw the
dead reptiles.-Barnwell People.

Gorky and the English.

Maxim Gorky, who is now serving
with the Russian army in Gallcia.
has a very genuine appreciation of
the English character and attain
ments. When Nine. Yavorska pro-
duced his play, The Lower Depths, v
in London a number of we'll known
English men of letters sent him a
message of congratulation, says the
London Chronicle In the course or
his reply Gorky said: Il am the more
proud Of this witness to the interest
created by my play in London because
as I survey the work done throughout
the world by Englishmen, say to N.Y.
self, this is the race which has de-
voted itself, and still does, to the
propagation of fruitful ideas, and to
the spread of the culture common to
Aryan peoples, with the greatest
energy and the most conspicuous sue
cess
Probably no writer living has ever
had such varied experiences as have
fallen to the lot of Gorky. A few
years ago he published a sort OF
skeleton autobiography. Here it is:
1878, sloemaker's apprentice; 1879,
draughtsman's apprentice; 1897
scullion on a steamer; 1888, baker;
1884 hall porter; 1885, baker; 1856,
chorus singer in a travelling COM
pany; 1887, hawking apples in the
street; 1888, candidate for suicide;
1889, lawyers copying clerk; 1891
tramping through Russia; 1893, rail-
way navy; 1894, published my first
story" And now he able to add sol
dier" to the list.

Many Tongues; One People.

From the data assembled by the
census bureau, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, it appears that in the emu
meration, on the basis of language,
of the 32,243,3S2 persons of foreign
white stock in. the United States
there are 10,037,420, whose mother
tongue is English, S,S17,271 Ger
mans, 2,151,422 italians, while the
French-speaking Linguistic family
numbers 1,375,169, and stands sew
enth in the list, surpassed in point
of numbers by the Polish, Yidish and
Hebrew, and Swedish elements in
our population.
The total white population of the
United States in. 1910 was $751;
.957, and the native stock accounts
for 60 per cent. Of this total. With
so diversified a remainder, it is not
surprising that wide variety of
thinking and feeling on social and
political issues is discoverable. Yet
in any great national crisis we stand
ready to act as one people, and in
divisible political entity. Some of
our noblest patriots are citizens ny
adoption, who stand firm in their al
legiance to the same traditions Of
civil and religious liberty that
brought our forefathers here and in
spired their first plantation.

USING COTTON PAPER.
Wagner Bank President Succeeds in
Experiment.

Aiken, Dec. 26.-The financial and
business depression resulting from
the effect of the European war on
the cotton market has been relieved
to a certain extent in the Wagner
section of Aiken county by the action
of E. B. Jackson, president of the
Bank of Wagner, in the success with
which he has met in having cotton
warehouse certificates rediscounted
by the federal reserve bank.
Some time ago Mr.. Jackson organ
lied a company and built a ware
house at Wagner with capacity of
approximately 1000 bales. The
warehouse was bonded. The Bank
of Wagner entering the federal re-
serve bank system, Mr.. Jackson as an
experiment, first sent to the regional
reserve bank five warehouse certifi-
Gates for five bales Of cotton each,
and when these were very readily re-
discounted, more and more were
sent.
To date Mr.. Jackson has redis-
counted about $4,000 worth of cot
ton warehouse receipts, turning the
money into business channels at Wag-
ener through the farmers, who have,
therefore, been able to provide for
themselves and at the same time re-
serve to themselves the title to their
cotton.
In this way numbers of farmers
have been able to stock their places
with hogs and cattle, or at least to
make the beginning in this direction,
and to buy seed grain for sowing. .
This plan has enabled the Bank OF
WAGNER to advance about $50 bale
on cotton.
The president of larger bank,
which is in the federal reserve sys-
tenn. said when Mr.. Jackson's achieve
ment was brought to his attention,
81 thought of this, but I did not be-
lieve that it could be done, and | was
afraid to trv it,
