textile industry, twice captured by the
Russian and German armies, looks
like a cemetery. Important lndustriai
centers like Chenst ohova, SeSnoVlec
and the coal-basin Of Dombrova, have
shared the same fate. The Industrial
output of the kingdom of Poland,
valued at $400 coo, 900 per annum, has
been annihilated. Three millions of
people earning their daily bread in
factories and mines, are starving. The
coal mines though not in the fighting
zone, have been flooded by the Ger
mans for strategical reasons and all
the costly machinery destroyed The
kingdom that used all of its monthly
output of 10000 carloads receives
now less than 100 carloads Of coal
from the distant Don basin in South
ern Russia. Meanwhile $4,000 miners
in Dombrova and the adjoining mines
have lost their work ''for Strategical
reasons" All commerce of the
kingdom with the Russian Empire
has been practically stopped as well
on account of a lack of transportation
facilities as because of the inter-
rupted international relations. These
commercial transactions between the
kingdom and the empire amounted
for the year preceding the war to one
billion roubles or $500, 100000.
The same conditions prevail in the
banking business. The transactions
of the big corporations. of Mutual
Credit Associations and Of Savings
Banks have been limited to the pay
ing cut Of deposits. The notes porte
feuil of local banks. representing a
nominal value Of many hundreds of
millions roubles, bear no interest
whatever, having, temporarily at least
| the mere value of millions Of scraps
of paper"
| The total of material losses in NOV
able and immovable properties is val
ued at 100000. 800.

Especial to The News and Observer
Fuquay Springs, July 3.--Several
weeks ago it was announced in the
papers that another election would be
held for the Fuquay Springs School
District on July 7th. No ADVERTISE
ment to this effect has been made,
and those to whom promises Of a
second election on the school ques-
ton were made in return for a vote
against the issue of bonds voted on
on May 18th, are very much afraid
that the promisors are not going to
make good their promises, though all
hope they may yet do something. The
suggestion of a "city school, for Flu
quay is taken as huge joke by many,
though some hold to the idea serious
ly, though how they can do so with
out laughing is really serious mat
ter. This "city school, idea has been
voted down two or three times in
mass meeting by the people, it never
having received but minimum OF
support by the people.

$4,000 IS FOUND IN
POCKET OF DEAD MAN
Hermit Of MaTinette" Lived in
Shack Outside City for Years.

MARINETTE, WIS.-Deeds, securl-
ties and money totaling $4,000 we're
found on the clothing of John May, 80
years old, the Hermit of Marlnette,
who died in a hospital here. The
man lived in a shack at the edge
of this city for several years. He was
reported to be wealthy, but no one
ever saw him spend any money.
Recently the police found the man
in a weak emanciated condition, lying
in his home They took him to the
City hospital despite his protestations
His condition continued to grow worse
until he died. Then his wealth was
discovered.
Mrs. Patrick Maloney, AZ years old,
was found dead on the banks of Little
river by her daughter and two other
women with whom she had gone in
swimming. When she complained Of
pain about her TT she was advised
by her companions to leave the water.
She did, and when they later quit
swimming they found her dead on the
bank.
John Sylvester Prudell 80 years
old, ate a hearty dinner and then lay
down to take a nap. His mother
found him dead when she attempted
to wake him little time later.
