NEGRO WOMEN HELD HERE.

Deputy U. S. Marshal f. c. Han
cock. arrived in this city Sunday with
Matilda KeywOod and Tiney Scott. ne
gro women from near Charleston,
who are charged with having devised
a scheme whereby the mails were
used to defraud Larkin & Co., bust
ness firm of Buffalo, New York.
Both prisoners were brought before
Commissioner, F. A. Rage, where they
waived examination, and failing to
furnish the required bond of $500 each
they were placed in Jail.
The husbands of the defendants ar
rived in the Cape yesterday morning
to make arrangements to secure bond.
The husband of the Keywood woman
sought Jerry Deal whom he states will
come to his relief. Scott returned to
Charleston in the afternoon where he
expects to secure Mr.. Drinkwater, a
thoroughly responsible man, as a
bondsman for his wife. He will re-
turn today, and if Mr.. Deal and Mr..
Drinkwater consent to sign the bonds
the prisoners will be released and per-
mitted to return to Charleston with
their husbands.
The prisoners are charged with hav-
inp accented agencies for the sale OF
goods for the complaining company
and on the pretext of having made
numerous sales have ordered and re-
ceived shipments which they appro-
priated to their own use.

AUTO AND OWNER RACE
Sewing Machine Agent MINDED When
he Overtakes Truant Motor.

While w. H. Thomas, a sewing ma
chine salesman, was in the Office of
Walter Blacks garage yesterday
morning relating some of the wonder
full acts of intelligence displayed by
his little Ford runabout, the empetu-
Gus roadster which had been left
standing outside, grew impatient and
started down the hill unattended.
Mr. Thomas gave chase and when
the car saw him coming, it imme-
diately picked up speed and seemed to
enter into the race with much feeling.
Mr.. Thomas displayed remarkable
sprinting qualities himself, and as the
sidewalk was unabstructed, he had the
advantage of the straight run while
the automobile lost time in lodging
vehicles it met coming up the hill.
They reached the corner of Spanish
and Broadway running neck and neck,
and when the Ford made the turn to
90 into the door of a sewing machine
office, Mr.. Thomas grabbed a wheel
and held it until it stopped kicking.

z DRAG MACHINES
SOLD AT AUCTION
Drainage Contractors to Install
New Diggers to Take Place
of Those COnfistis lated.

The two large Drag Line machines
that have been operating for several
weeks on the main diversion channel
of the Little River Drainage District,
a few miles south Of this city, were
sold by order Of court yesterday after
noon at the courthouse.
They were purchased by c. Fl. Lock
err Of the firm of Grant, Smith & Lock-
er of Rome, New York, for the sum
of $4,000 each.
These machines were manufactured
by the Lidgerwood Co., and sold to D.
c.. Stevens for $35, 1000 each, of which
$4,000 was paid down on each ma
chine and mortgages given for the re-
mainder.
These machines will be removed
from the ground at an early date, but
the loss of time incurred by their in
efficiency and the settlement of the
legal ENHANCEMENT will be overcome
by the installation of new machines.
Orders have already been placed by
Merritt & Gilbert for four immense
drag lines equal in size to the two
taken out of use, and with greater ca
pacity.
The machines will be installed with
in thirty days and it is believed that
the increased excavating power, the
work will be completed within the
stipulated time of 20 months from the
date of beginning.
Small payments have since been
made, but as default was made on all
other payments the mortgage was
forcclosed, the property seized and the
sale made.
It is reported that Mr.. Stevens and
his sub-contractors, Merritt & Gilbert
refused to make further payments for
the reason that the machines failed to
meet the stated requirements; and it
has also been reported that Lidger-
wood Co., chose this method of settling
the matter in preference to entering
into litigation wherein the defective
ness of their machines would be dis
closed.
Immediately after the sale, the two
machines were placed in the custody
of w. J. Seagraves of this city, who
will have them guarded until final dis
position has been made Of them. They
are being kept under constant watch
with two men on guard in day tins
and two at night.

observable in the design of the latest
Germans ships, and yet the United
States, though it is building the most
colossal battleships in the world, re-
mains satisfied with a rate of steam
ing not very much greater than that
of the newest and best equipped I'M
der-water craft.
These two new battleships when
complete with stores and ammunition
and ready for commissioning, will rep
resent an expenditure of 15,OOO,OO0
each. For this outlay the American
Navy will gain a broadside of twenty
four 14-inch guns, throwing a proJec-
tile of 400 pounds, with sufficient
force to penetrate twelve inches of the
hardest armor at nearly two miles
range. Each gun represent S75O,OOO,
calculating on the basis of the broad
side fire. 1t need hardly be added that
in these battleships, which will burn
oil only by the way, elaborate provi-
sion is being made to protect them
both from attack by submarines and
bombs dropped from airships or sea-
planes. The peril of the big ships
is not ignored; a war is in progress
which may show that it greater than
is thought-indeed as great as Ad-
miral Sir Percy Scott declares-and
vet these level headed Americans are
investing $18,0OO,OOO in two of the
biggest battleships ever dreamed of
by man, directly contrary to the views
of the moderate dimensions, and not
only that are giving them a speed of
only about q knots.
Some people are nervous as to the
fate of our battleships in the war. The
decision of the American naval Off
GERS who have studied submarines
longer than we have, may give them
a measure of confidence. Moreover,
our preponderance in submarine craft
over Germany is rather greater than
our margin of strength in dread
naughts. So, in any event, we seem
to be on the right side. We do well
to recollect that the only notable sue
cesses of the German submarines in
the past two months were achieved I'M
der favorable circumstances, which
are not likely to recur. The time is
not ripe for any dogmatic statements
as to the role, of the submarine, de-
spite ut-Commander Max Horizons
daring exploits, and evidently Amer
lean naval officers are still unconvinc-
ed that the day of the battleship is
over.
