COIFFURE caps are almost a neces-
~ sity for those light-footed young
women who dance the airy and the
rather acrobatic steps of the modern
dances.
Here are two from earlier OF Paris
that are attractive and becoming to
the youthful faces they are pictured
with. and even more becoming to older
faces that belong to equally energetic
dancers.
The foundation of the first cap is
of silk messaline or other light weight
and highly lustrous fabric. Over it a
rather heavy lace cap is placed. A
rosette made of tinsel petals and a
tinsel cord finish the decoration.
The cap is confined to the head by
an elastic cord. which adjusts 1t firmly
to place.
The second cap is made of heavier
silk, with spangled net draped with

The European war is still going on

prices on commodities of nearly
every class will be affected one way

others will 60 downward. In our
opinion tobacco is in the latter class.

TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES RE.
CEIVED BY THE SEVERAL
COUNTY CANDIDATES.

The election at Kingstree and
throughout Williamsburg county
passed off Tuesday without the least
friction at any of the twenty-eight
polling precincts. The weather was
ideal and almost full vote was
polled with the following results.
Arrangements were made where
by unofficial returns were received
here by phone from all of the coun-
ty precincts and by midnight the
standing of each candidate in the
contest had been determined.
Bulletins were received from time
to time from The News and Courier
and The State, and from the Amer
lean Press Association. These bull
letins continued to arrive until 3 "a.
m. and so nearly fixed the results
that there was no doubt as to the
successful State candidates when
the crowd dispersed and went home
Wednesday morning.
The following is the official vote
for county officers.

BANK CASHIER SUICIDES.
J L Merriman, Cashier Of Bank
of hemingway, Shoots Himself.

Hemingway. August 24:-J L
Merriman, cashier of the bank here,
committed suicide last night about
IL o'clock by shooting himself with
32-calibre pistol. Two shots were
fired, one entering his right side,
penetrating the liver, causing al
most instant death. The reports
were heard by neighbors, who i'm
mediately rushed to the scene, find
ing the victim lying on the front
porch of his home in an uncons cious
condition, with an empty revolver by
his side. Physicians, being notified,
soon appeared, but found that there
was no hope of saving his life. He
lived about thirty minutes, never
Speaking word.
The finance committee checked
over the banks books this morning
and found that the finances of the
bank were in first-class condition.
A sworn statement was given to
this effect.
Mr. Merriman left the bank Satur-
day afternoon in a bright and cheer
full condition, and was seen on sew
eral occasions yesterday and appear
ed to be in a pleasant mood; but,
upon returning to his home last
evening, it is thought that on ac-
count of some domestic trouble he
became. enraged, and in a fit of
passion took his life. Mr. Merri-
mans health hasn't been good for
the past several months, and it is
quite probable that this constantly
preying on his mind figured largely
in the affair.
Mr. Merriman was a young man
of sterling character and pleasing
disposition. He had won the esteem
of the entire community. In the
bank he was a most useful man, al
ways giving his business the closest
attention.
The body will be taken to George
town, where the interment will take
place.
The end of this young man came
, so Unexpectedly that it was a shock
| to this vicinity, and everybody
mourns the loss of their beloved
townsman.

self to be a very very valuable mar

The body of J L Merriman was
carried to Georgetown for burial
this morning on a special train. A
large number of relatives and friends
accompanied the corpse. The en-

have resumed their attack on the al

to have held their positions. the Ger.
mans have succeeded in capturing the
town of Dixmude, which has been the
center OF some OF the fiercest and
most sanguinary lighting OF the war.
The country between Dixmude and

Important Victory over Foe in

Petrograd, Nov. 11.--Naval head

says:
"One of our scouts saw a Turkish
transport full of soldiers standing out
to sea. The transport on perceiving
us tried to regain the coast, where

Two transports flying the Ottoman

them discovered third transport. All
were loaded with ammunition, motor
cars, aeroplanes, and guns. All the
transports we're sunk.
We rescued and took prisoners 248
men. Several of them were German
officers. One was a staff officer who
was carrying dispatches. The prison.

transport troops to Trebizond"

prisoners fell into their hands, shows
that the statements, so freely made,
that they have been sending troops
from the west to Poland are without
foundation.
AS a matter OF fact military men
here believe the Germans dispatched
troops from the Russian front to the
west, not imagining that the Russian
pursuit could be carried out with the
rapidity with which 1t has been.
Claim Advances Elsewhere.
At other points along the battle
front In France official communica-
ton claims some successes for the
allies, but the German headquarters
stan declares that all attacks have
been repulsed.
1t is considered certain that with
the enormous forces required for the
effort to get through to the coast and
to protect their own country from
Russian invasion the Germans will
not be able to throw any additional
troops into the lines which stretch
through northern France and along
the Franco-German border.
On the other hand, the French,
whose army is growing daily. might
attempt an offensive against Lorraine
or Alsace as a diversion which would
relieve the pressure in the west.
