Mag Smith, a negro woman
about As years old, was found
dead in a swamp near Patrick
last Saturday morning by a
searching party. Her neck had
been broken by a heavy blow
with a blunt weapon, probably
the shovel found near her, and
there were signs of a tussle a
few yards away and path
where her body had been drug
and hidden behind pine tree
and in the thick underground.
She had started to wash for Mrs.
Calvin Ingram on Friday morn
ing but had not been seen.
When she did not return home
at night her people began to
search for her. Malcolm Michael,
negro about 65 years old who
had had trouble with the woman
about month before, was one
of the searchers and it was no.
tlced that he avoided a certain
rSWamp and told the others there
was NO use io iouk in n swamp
for her. This gave rise to sus-
picions, and others went into the
swamp and found the body.
When it was found Michael said
he would look out for tracks of
the murderer and soon Michael
had disappeared. Some negroes
went to his cabin and called to
him, whereupon he presented
the muzzle of a double barrel
shot gun through the door and
the negroes "lit shuck," so to
speak, and Michael left for parts
unknown. Coroner Atkinson
held an inquest Saturday after
noon. Sheriff Douglass and the
three rural policemen hunted
the negro for about "a hours, but
failed TO find him. Hand bills
have been broadcasted, but up
to the time this is written the
negro has not been found. The
scene of the crime was at least a
half mile from any house and
was near the path the woman
went TO and from Mrs Migrants.
Michael had been about Patrick
about four years, and he had a
bad reputation. He said he
came from Wilmington. A
shovel and an old pair of shoes
were found near the dead BODY
and these were identified by Mr..
w. +. Winburn and Mr.. ID. Nj.
Williams as those in the posses
sion of Michael.

on account of the strength impaired by

Great Fleet in North Sea Expected to
Give Early Battle.
COPENHAGEN. Scr


Germany is strengthening the armament
of her fleet in the North Sea, according
to reports of travellers who have recently
passed through the Kiel Canal. The ves-
sells are being equipped with new ordnance
which the Krupp works have perfected
after two years Of experiment. The new
guns are being placed on both armored
cruisers and dreadnoughts.
The canal is described as being crowded
with warships, including the largest bat
tleships The arsenals are busy day and
night, and long trains arrive continuously
with immense guns for the ships.
The Germans are reported as declaring
that the whole fleet soon will be ready
to fight.
The correspondent of the Evening News
has telegraphed to London that the sixth
German naval casualty list gives the
names Of one man killed and 81 officers
and 100 men missing.
Beginning on Thursday, according to
orders issued today by the British naval
authorities, no neutral trawers will he

By j. W. T. MASON

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-There is no
official information that can in any way
be interpreted as affording a basis for
the Paris report of General Won Kluk's
letreat. on the contrary, the new bat
tie line Of the Allies. announced with
usual frankness by the French Govern
ment, shows a considerable gain by the
Germans.
Last week Peronne and Lassigny were
in possession OF the Allies, representing
the closest points to Won Kluk's main
defenses that had been captured since
the battle of the Aisle began. The new
disposition of the battle front restores
Lasslgny TO Won Kluk and moves the
Allies 10 miles back of Peronne, between

SWEEPING HUNGARY,
NEARS BUDAPEST
Hosts Pour Through Car
pathian Passes and Move
Briskly Through Unforti-
fed Territory Galician
Campaign Quiet.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 80.


The Russian advance guards are now
within 100 miles of Budapest, with an un-
fortified country before them, through
three pathways in the Carpathians, at
Dukla Pass, Sanok Pass and Uzsok Pass,
the columns detached to advance into
Hungary are pouring out on the plains.
Through two of the passes are railroads,
which the RUSSIANS now control to points
in the foothills on the Hungarian side
of the Southern Galician border.
The force which advanced to Sanok
Pass was opposed by German artillery
sent to cut off its movement. The Ger
mans were defeated in engagements
south OF the city of Sanok and retreated
TO the northwest. abandoning their guns.
The Russian force moved on through
the deflle.
In the Uzsoi Pass the Russians dis
lodged the Hunveds from three positions
and gained the further side. where they
are now descending to the Hungarian
plateau.
There are no fortifcations south of the
Carpathians to stay the progress OF this
armies from the north.
THE GALICIAN CAMPAIGN.
In Galicia the campaign is quiet. The
southern column has taken Dukla, a
railroad centre.
The fighting at Dulka Is believed to
have been with the Austrians, who fell
back to Jaslo and attempted to rally
there. Both Dukla and Jaslo are on
the Jasielka River.
Unofficial advlces state that part of
General Ruzsky's forces has already
reached Tarnow and that fighting has
been in progress there for "a hours. The
capture of Tarnow will leave the road
clear for an advance on Cracow.
That the Germans expect no attempt
by the Russians TO take Cracow by
storm, but expect General Ruzsky to
rest content with an investment OF that
city, while his main forces pursue their
march on Silesia, Is indicated by dis
patch from Warsaw stating that the
Germans are fortifying the heights
south of Kielce, Russian Poland These
are in the way OF a direct advance into
Silesia
The Russian onward march through
Galicia is declared to be proceeding un-
interrnptedly in two parallel lines The
Austrian resistance is declared to be al
ready so badly broken that the troops
OF the Dual Empire seem unable 10
make a decided stand. 1t is not believed
that they will give battle until Cracow
is reached.
The Austrian Crown Prince, Archduke
Carl Franz Josef, is reported TO have
reached Cracow yesterday and 10 have
taken command OF that post, with Gem
eral Conrad Won Hoetzendorf as his chief
of staff.
