SINK TWO BRITISH SHIPS.
Crews of Steamers Destroyed or
Hayre are Rescued.

London, Nov. Pit was report
ed by Lloyds today that two British
steamers were sunk off Havre yester-
day by German submarines.
The steamers were the Malachite
and the Primo. Their crews were
rescued. Those from the Malachite
we're landed at Southampton and
those from the Primo at Fecamp,
France, on the English Channel.
Lloyds report indicates that Ger
mans submarines have made one of
their most daring feats. This is the
first occasion when their activities
have been reported in these waters.
Apparently they made their way
through the Straits of Dover to a
point more than one hundred and fif-
ty miles from their nearest base.
The Malachite was a small steamer
of us tons gross. She was built in
Glasgow in 1902. The gross tonnage
of the Primo was 1856. She was
laid down in Stockton in 1898.

Not So Bad Off After All.

Last year Sumter county produced
$4,000 bales of cotton, which sold
for an average not exceeding $50 a
bale, or s1,560,OOO for the crop Of
the county. This year the total crop
of the county will exceed $4,000
bales, this estimate being based on
the last ginners' report. If the crop
can be sold finally at an average
price of seven cents, or s35 a bale,
the net loss in the crop as compared
with last year will not be as great
as the difference in price per pound
indicates, and the farmers will not
be in as bad shape as predicted, for
the big crop will go long way to-
ward evening things up. There is no
doubt about Sumter county having
produced a big crop Of cotton.-Sum-

ANOTHER DOCTORS EXPERI-

DR.. B. F. Hawley, 3646 Chestnut
ST., Philadelphia, writes: Some
months ago my attention was called
to EX-ZEMA-FO, claimed to be
specific for eczema. The remedy was
highly lauded by an eminent jurist,
who obtained complete relief from its
use. 1 am somewhat loath to employ
or recommend secret or proprietary
medicines or lotions not knowing their
compound; but on investigating was
convinced of its harmlessness and en-
ployed it in some dozen or more cases
with perfect satisfaction. A strange
thing occurred during my observa-
tons, viz: A member of my own
family was suddenly afflicted with
general eczema. I used EX-ZEMA-

procuring both prompt and lasting re-
lief. My sense of medical ethics
would prevent me in rendering you
this testimonial, but my feeling OF.
sratefulness in having obtained both
the product and necessary lnfornla-
ton from you, may perhaps justify
my sending you this communication.

in the midst of the carnage filled his
place like a veteran.
"At this moment the chief en-
gineer came on deck and reported the
fires put out, and that he could no
longer work the engines. Capt.
Semmes said to me, Go below, sir,
and see how long the ship can float
AS 1 entered the ward room the sight
was indeed appalling. There stood
Assistant Surgeon Llewellyn at his
post, but the table and the patient
upon it were swept away from him
by an 11-inch shell, which opened
in the side Of the ship an aperture
that was fast filing the ship with
water
"It took me but moment to re-
turn to the deck and report to the
captain that we could not float ten
minutes He replied to me, Then
sir, cease firing, shorten sail and haul
down the colors; it will never do in
this nineteenth century for us to go
down, and the decks covered with

81 now gave the order for every
man to jump overheard with a spar
and save himself from the sinking
ship. To enforce the order I walked
forward and urged the men over
board. AS soon as the decks were
cleared, save the bodies of the dead,
returned to the stern port, where
stood Capt. Semmes with one or two
of the men and his faithful steward,
who, poor fellow, was doomed to a
watery grave, as he could not swim.
The Alabama's stern port was now
almost to the waters edge. Partly
undressing, we plunged into the sea
and made an offing from the sinking
ship, Capt. Semmes with a life pre-
server and I on grating.
''The Alabama settled stern fore
most, launching her bows high in
the air. Graceful even in her death
struggle, she in moment disappear
ed from the face of the waters.
After 20 minutes more l heard
near me some one call out, There is
OUT first lieutenant, and the next
moment l was pulled into a boat in
which was Capt. Semmes, stretched
out in the stern sheets, as pallid as
death. He had received during the
action a slight confusion on the
head, and the struggle in the water
almost exhausted him. There were
also several of our crew in the boat,
and in a few moments We were
alongside a little steam yacht which
had come among our floating men,
and by throwing them ropes saved
many lives"
The Alabama, in her 22 months as
a privateer, managed to infict great
damage on the shipping of the United
States. She drove the shipping of
the United States from the seas, and
did much to reduce the standing of
the American merchantmen among
foreign shippers. Her work, coupled
with the fact that commerce and
shipbuilding practically ceased dur
ing the civil war. is responsible for
the place America has taken in the
worlds shipping, and the place she
occupies at present.
The money claims assessed against
the Alabama amounted to over ST.
100000, but only s15,0O0,000 of
this was allowed as legitimate
claim against England by the COM
mission sitting in Geneva, after the
war was over, and damages were
assessed against the British govern
ment for the help given the Confede-
rate privateer.

A Tonic For The Nerves

Nervous people who have not yet de-
veloped a disease that can be recog-
nized and treated by the medical pro-
fession have the greatest trouble in
finding relief. Irritation, headache,
sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all
these discomforts make life miserable
but are endured rather than run a
doctors bill without definite hope of
recovery.
Every such sufferer should know the
danger of such a condition of the ner-
vous system. Nervous debility and
even paralysis may easily result If the
tone of the nerves is not restored
The one big fact that brings hope
and relief is that the nerves can be
restored by building up the blood. 1t
cannot be too often repeated that only
and medicine reach the nerves. DR..
Williams Pink Pills make the blood
rich and red and quickly restore VII
tality and energy to a weak nervous
system. A nervous person who gives
these pills trial is almost certain to
see good results and, what is more,
the benefit will be lasting because the
trouble is attacked at it's root. Thin
blood makes weak nerves. Building up
the blood restores the nerve force.

Ten Excellent Reels and orchestra.
1t is the object of the management
of the Colonial to offer to the public
the very best pictures that can be OBJ
tanned, and give a musical program
both afternoon and evening worthy of
a New York theatre. This object has
been reached by combining the entire
output of both the Mutual and Uni
versal Film Companies, and wedding
out the poor pictures and running only
the best. The program is so ar
ranged each day that there is never a
picture that might be Objectionable to
any member of a mans family. The
o-called white Slave" and similar
pictures are absolutely excluded from
the Colonial and nothing but clean
wholesome photo plays are shown.
The Colonial Peerless Orchestra is
made up of men of experience and
musical talent, any one of whom can
render the highest class music to per-
lection. Only the best of the higher
class music and few of the latest
melodies are played at the Colonial
Todays program the management
considers a perfect motion picture pro-
gram. The following pictures will be
shown: THE Trap feature; "A
Dangerous Experiment" feature: Miss
Nobody from Nowhere" feature; MI
tual Weekly: "Retribution," Beauty
film; 1.-The Tin Soldier" Thanhaus-
err; and THE Chicken Chaser" a
