TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYERS
Work They Are Supposed to Perform
In Time Of War.

Work They Are Supposed to Perform
In limo Of War.
AS the name implies, torpedo boat
destroyers were originally built to
eoinbat the smaller torpedo boat, which
had become such a serious menace to
the battleships and the large cruisers
that searchlights and rapid fire guns
could not be depended upon for pro-
lection, says writer In Scribner's
Magazine. Gradually, however, the
duties of the destroyer were extended
until they included all that was former
ly done by the torpedo boat and much
besides.
The mere fact that a modern de-
stroyer Is three or four times as large
as one Of the earlier boats renders It
SO much more seaworthy and capable
Of carrying 30 much more fuel that
the radius Of action Of torpedo boat
craft has been enormously increased,
and they have become more and more
dangerous to an enemy's feet
The duties Of modern fotilla may
be tabulated In this way:
First-Scouting This comprises 10
eating and reporting the position Of
the enemy and keeping In touch with
him as long as may be necessary.
Second.-Protection Of ones own feet
from night attacks Of the enemy's de-
stroyers. This includes not only locat-
ing and reporting the position Of the
hostile torpedo craft, but II necessary,
attacking them with your guns and
sinking or driving them away before
they can force home an attack against
battleships.
Third.-Attacking the battleships Of
the enemy with your torpedoes. This
Is, Of course, the paramount duty Of
every vessel In the fotilla.
Fourth.-In addition to the above
regular" duties, destroyers are fire.
quently used - what might be called
"gunboat work"-patrolling the enc

START OF A FORTUNE.
The Boy Who Began His Career by
Buying Soap at Auction.

The Boy Who Began His Career by
Buying Soap at Auction.
A boy eleven years old stood at an
auction room door and gazed with In
terest ut the crowd Of men gathered
round the auctioneer. His curiosity
led him to enter the room. His atten-
tion was attracted to several boxes Of
toilet soap. the kind, he noticed. that
his mother used at home. He had
often been sent 10 the drug store to
buy It for her. "Ah," he said to him
self, perhaps I can buy this soap
cheap. will sell 1t and make some
money"
As fast as his feet would carry him
he ran to the drug store where his
mother traded and sought out the
proprietor. "How much would you give
me for a box Of that soap such as my
mother buysT he asked. The druggist,
ready to please the boy, named a GER
tain price. When the youngster asked
II he could use several boxes the
druggist thought 1t was a good joke
and replied that he could use all that
the lad would sell him.
The boy FASTENED home He emptied
his little savings bank and ran back
to the auction rooms with the money
carefully wrapped In a handkerchief.
The soap was still unsold, and the boy
edged his way through the crowd to
the platform. When the soap came
under the auctioneers hammer the
boys little piping voice made the first
bid. The other buyers were so amused
at his youth and his serious manner
that they let him carry off his transac-
ton without contest, and the boy got
twenty-five boxes Of toilet soap at
small fraction Of their value. When
the auctioneer asked his name he an
swered, Charles Yerkes."
The lad took the boxes Of soap to his
purchaser, the druggist, who. open
eyed with surprise, inquired where he
had got them. IL bought them at the
auction" he said proudly.
II could have done that myself"
complained the druggist, but as he had
promised to buy the soap he had to
keep his word.
That was the beginning Of an un-
usual business career. In later years
Charles Yerkes became famous In both
England and America as a flnnncier
and a conductor Of great business en-
terprises.- Companion.

Ma ehinisas of G 4 w Quit WsEk.-
Prosuect of Settlement Renoae.

Georgetown, February 21:-The
first strike" in the history Of
Georgetown county is now on. hard
and fast, and after several days Of
effort on the part of mediators be-
tween the contending parties to
bring about a solution of the vexed
question involved, there appears no
chance of adjustment. The ma
chinists of the shops of the George
town and Western Railroad COM
pany, at Andrews. quit and walked
out upon the refusal Of the new
superintendent of the road. Mr. J A
Emmart. to allow extra pay for
overtime and Sunday work, such a.
has obtained heretofore. Up to this
time the men in the shops at An
drews have received time and half
rates for all work done over the ten
hour day and for Sunday work. 1t
is claimed that such overtime il al.
lowed machinists everywhere.
The recent order Of Superinten-
dent Emmart resembling this rule
on the Georgetown and Western
railway has met with stubborn re-
sistance, and the machinists seem
determined to cease work and pre-
vent interference in the Andrews
shops. 1t is said that strikebreak-
ers have been brought into Andrews
to resume operations, but upon
learning the nature of the grievance
from the local machinists, returned
from whence they came. 1t is
claimed that Mr. Emmart is acting
with view to reduction of expenses.
and refuses to alter his decision to
pay straight time only. What the
outcome will be. no one can tell.
The men are being backed by the
international Association Of Ma,
chinists, and are standing pat" for
what they claim to be their rights.
Mr. Robert Fechner, Of the execu-
tive board of the association, has
been here in the interests of the
strikers, and endeavored to open
negotiations with the railroad
authorities. He was told, it is said,
there was nothing to negotiate, and
has returned to his home in Savan-
nah.

SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.
IiDgstfee People Should Know How to
Read and Heed Them.

Disordered kidneys give many sig
mails of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con-
tain sediment.
Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty, painful.
Backache is often present day and
night.
Headaches and dizzy spells may
occur.
Weakened kidneys should receive
quick help.
Don't delay! Use a special kidney
remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Marion evidence proves their
worth.
JT Dozier, deputy sheriff, Mar
ion, S C, says: Il had backache,
coupled with pains across my loins
and my kidneys were badly dis
ord ,red. l read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and deciding to try them,
l got a box. After using them a
short time, the backaches and pains
left me and my kidneys became
