the course of storming operations in
which the defenders were wounded as
they put their heads for moment
above the upper edge of the fortifca-;
tions. AS the storming party was
only some 500 feet away when the
woun,'s were inflicted, the effect was
almost incredibly severe.
Portions of the Uranium were
blown away entirely and there was
sometimes an almost absolute empty
ing of the skull cavity of it's brain
substance. The brain itself actually
seemed to blow up by sort Of hy-
drodynamic action and be scattered
entirely outside the Uranium. In these
cases the wound of entrance was de-
structive and the distance from
which it is inflicted must be very
short. The storming Of redoubts and
forts has taken on this new danger

ments in armament.-N. Y. Herald.

sued a few weeks ago, there seemed
to be no sign at all that Belgian sur
geons would so soon have to know
everything available with regard to
the wounds of modern warfare.
There is no doubt that there will
be vast number of wounded to care
for. The experience in the Balkans
was that there was about four wound
ed for every soldier, killed. The
wounds are usually inflicted by the
ordinary infantry arm, while most
of the dead are killed by the artil-
lery. About three out of four SOL
diers wounded by the infantry sur
vive. Nearly three out of four of
those wounded by the artillery have
fatal wounds inflicted.
More than one-half of the fatal in
juries in the Balkan campaign came
from the artillery. Out of 100 killed
and wounded - would be killed by
shrapnel, Is to 20 wounded by shrap-
mel, eight killed by the infantry and
some 60 to 65 wounded. According
to the old proverb, it still takes, in
spite of the modern training of SOL
diers-at least so far as the exper-
ience in the Balkans went-a mans
weight in lead to kill him. Many
millions of balls were fired for the
thousands wounded and killed.
Modern high velocity projectiles
make very different wounds from the
old musket balls and even very dif-
ferent surgical lessons from those
that were seen during the Franco
Prussian war or even the Russian
Turkish war in 1876. The modern bull
let with very high initial velocity, pro-
duces certain serious consequences
never seen before. It's power for
harm is simply enormous. The aver

rifles will at 500 meters distance,
that is. nearly two-fifths of a mile.
pass through three men. 1t will pen
citrate a single man at distance OF
100 meters, that is nearly mile.
At more than a mile it will pass
through the skull, making clean
wounds of entrance and exit in both
bony plates. 1t can produce Sc
rious. even fatal wound of the abb
dominal region at a distance of $500
meters. that is, considerably more
than two miles. Fortunately. owing
TO the circumstances of modern war.
it is usually at these rather long dis
tances that the wounds are produced.
When the combatants are at short
range the effects are often awful to
contemplate.
The awful penetrating power of
the modern bullet will be very we'll
realized from some of the incidents
described by Prof. Laurent in his ac-
count of the surgery of the Bulga-
rian campaigns. In cases where SOL

From Unknown Causes.

The jury at the inquisition over
the body of Walter Kennedy, who
was found dead in the cornfield of
Mr.. E. C. Bruce last Wednesday
found a verdict that the negro had
come to his death from causes to
the jury unknown. No gun or pistol
shot wounds were found in the body.
1t was supposed that the negro had
been shot when a party of gamblers
were raided some days previous, but
it is stated no evidence substantial
ing this has been found.

':ers, in order to protect themselves
from the enemy's volleys, were di-
rected to lie down, some of them
were wounded in the shoulders and
the wounds of exit for the bullets
was often below the knees in the
legs. In spite of the long course OF
such a wound, important organs and
the internal viscera were sometimes
found to have been spared or prac-
tically so and some of those thus
wounded recovered completely. Such
a wound has been known to remain
aseptic and to heal promptly permit
ting the soldier to go back in the
course of a few weeks.
The higher the velocity of the bull
let the greater the injury produced.
From 900 to 500 meters, that is, at
distances of from 1000 feet to little
more than a quarter of mile, the
explosive effects of the modern bull
lets are noted. The lead projectile
covered with the steel casing when
it's velocity suddenly tends to be ar
rested takes on an explosive action,
which tears soft tissues to pieces and
communities bones. The lead itself
actually seems almost to be melted
at times in this process, and is scat
tered through neighboring tissues in
a rather finely divided state.
Almost needless to say, such
wounds are extremely difficult to
heal. They take long time for the
tissues to which they have been sub
iected, and in the meantime thy fur
nish many opportunities for the in
vasion of infectious elements of any
kind that may happen to be present
in the neighborhood. The wounds
are seldom infected at the moment
they are made, infection readily oc-
ours afterward, and is often very Sc
rious if not fatal.
The explosive manifestations of a
modern bullet at short range makes
sad havoc, particularly in wounds of
the brain. Matignon described Sc
ries of wounds of the head made in

Mr.. J. B. Halliburton, manager OF
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company, with headquart-
ers at Blackville. was in the city
Tuesday, and stated that his COM
pany had instructed him to purchase
a bale of cotton here, paying there
for 10c pound. In accordance with
these instructions he purchased a
bale here Tuesday. Mr.. Halliburton
further stated that the Southern Bell
is purchasing 200 bales at 10c a
pound. This means that the company
is investing $4,000 in cotton at ten
cents pound.

WOUNDS OF MODERN WARFARE
Latest Guns and Bullets Have Multi.
piled Labor of Surgeons.

The eyes of the medical and surgi-
cal world are fixed on the awful prob
lens involved in properly caring for
the immense number of wounded that
will shortly have to be removed from
the battlefelds of Europe. We have
perfected the means of killing and
wounding men until scarcely more
could possibly be expected. Machine
guns of all kinds can NOW soldiers
down by the hundreds and thousands,
but each of these when not killed has
to be cared for individually and we
cannot cure them by machinery, nor
in large numbers, but each individual
case will require expert care and the
special consideration of trained minds
and hands.
The new arms and new bullets
have added to the destructiveness OF
war, but have multiplied surgeons
problems and have made military
surgery a special study for which,
fortunately for humanity, there is
not much experience provided, al
though unfortunately for those who
have to be treated right now the sur
geons will have to do their best pres
sure.
Prof. Octave Laurent, who spent
II months campaigning with the
Bulgarian armies during the -
war in the Balkans. has just publish
ed the story of his surgical expert
ences and from this some idea of the
grewsome work before the military
surgeons of Europe can be obtained,
although probably even this fails to
give any adequate notion of the sur
gical experience that will be forced
upon the army surgeons. Prof.
Laurent declares that ordinary civil
surgery furnishes no real training
for modern military surgery and that
the surgeon must literally train him.
self as best he can. The wounds in
ficted by modern bullets are quite
different from those that have been
so carefully stu udied and so much
written about in the past and only
his knowledge of the general princi-
pies of surgery and his own common
sense and power to meet emergencies
of all kinds will be helpful to the
surgeons in the unusual conditions
that present themselves.
AS Prof. Laurent himself is we'll
known professor of surgery and the
author of a text book on the subject
which has gone through three edl-
tions and which has been translated
into several modern languages, his
opinions On this subject are we'll
worthy of consideration. HIS en-
periences have been presented to
French medical societies and his OBJ
servations have been tie subject OF
serious discussion that has always
recoenized the value Of his work. He
is the surgeon to the hospital of St.
John at Brussels and his Balkan eX-
perience will now be of the greatest
value for his countrymen in the war
which has been so suddenly thrust
on them, although, when his book
on the campaign in Bulgaria was is

Never saw man get quite so
many knocks, even after he's down,
as L'Engle. 1t is regrettable that
man with as fine mental equipment
as he possesses should impair his
usefulness and cut short a promis-
ing career through some minor tenn
peramental faults. Mr.. L'Engle has
through his paper and otherwise
been mighty persistent knocker,
sailing into everything and every
body. and not always, in our opin-
ion, with due regard TO truth and
justice. He cannot, therefore, expect

earnestly hopes that he will recover

sailed into the lobbyists that infest-
ed Tallahassee; he sailed into cor

into laws that Disseminated against

show where he did any whining

knew his handwriting was as hard to

Clock to jog the Memory.

A memory" clock is about the new.
est thing in timepieces, according to
Playthings- This clock does not differ
in appearance from an ordinary clock.
excepting that around the outside rim
of the dial there are holes so placed
that there are four of them between
every hour sign. They are marked
"a, ", q, and a star, the latter being
directly opposite the hour.
With the clock is furnished a num-
Der Of small brass plugs, the purpose
of which is this: When one Of them is
placed in one of the holes mentioned,
say at a point where it marks a quar-
ter after one, the clock will make a
distinct buzzing noise. loud enough to
attract attention, at exactly that time,
regardless Of how many other plugs
there are in the clock. The value Of
such a clock to a business man can
scarcely be overestimated. As soon as
he arrives at his desk he can plug up
the clock in accordance with his ap-
pointments and other matters which
have to be attended to at definite
times. After the clock has been
plugged he can proceed to work and
forget all about his appointments. At
the first call of the buzzer he knows
chat a certain matter is due for his at
tention, which he may promptly for
get after it Is attended to, sure in the
knowledge that the clock will watch
out for his other appointments.
