LAW AND ORDER.

We join with the other papers in this
section of the State in commencing the
officers of the law for the enforcement
of the law, and the protection of their
prisoner, in Lowndesville, last week. A
crime of great atrocity had been COM
mitted. 1t was committed in a rural
section of the county. An old lady of
the community living alone with a
young granddaughter was slain by a
, demon bent on crime still more helm
',ous. But notwithstanding this the Of
ficers of the law, Magistrate Huckabee
and his constable, Moseley Huckabee
landed their prisoner in the Abbeville
Jail. In doing so, violence was averted
largely through the influence of Mr. S.
S. Boles, brother of the murdered wo
u man. 1t takes man to stand for law
and order under such circumstances,
and it takes determined officers of the
law to protect prisoners under such cir
cumstances. With the backing of such
men as Mr.. Boles, however, and with de
termined officers in charge of the pris-
,oner, there is no need for lynchings in
South Carolina. There is no need fo>
prisoners to be taken from jails anC
lynched or otherwise unlawfully treat
ed We therefore join in commendinp
in unmeasured terms these officers o.
the law, and the relatives of the de.
ceased person, for their determination
that this crime be legally investigated
and that the guilty be punished by due
process of law.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. s.-Can- ton and Cleveland contractors today secured an order for more than four million rifles, wanted by the Rus sian government to outfit the new armies being raised by the Czar for the battles against the Germans.

VALDEZ MERCHANT
 SERIOUSLY HURT
John Pauley Falls Down Cliff and Is Badly Injured-Walks to
 Beach and Safety.

John Pauley, the owner of the Alaska Laundry, met with a serious injury yesterday while working on his gold claims across the bay and high up the mountain side. Pauley was climbing up a cliff and had al- most reached the top and safety when a rock turned beneath his foot and he was precipitated to the bot tom of the cliff, distance of about fifty feet.
 Cut and bruised about the head and body, with his hands torn and bleeding from the vain effort to break the fall, with blood pouring from a score of cuts on the face and about the eyes, the dazed prospector real ized that unless he made the shore and reached his boat he would soon lose consciousness and would die lingering death high up on the noun tain.
 He reached a small creek, and washing the blood from his eyes, he at once started for the beach and his boat. Falling constantly because of the inability to see clearly, stagger- ing down the mountain side, rolling when he lost his footing and stumb- ling repeatedly, he worked for three hours through the underbrush, over fallen timbers and down gullies, un- til finally he reached his boat and succeeded in starting his motor and came to Valdez, where he is now re- covering from his injuries.

New York Banker Wants Business Men to Take Charge of Armies
 MunitiOn Needs.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. g. James Barouche, the New York bank CT and broker, has suggested to the administration the advisability of or ganizing businessman commission for the purpose of mobilizing the re- sources of the country that are needed in time of war. He plans an organization that would have prepar- ed list of the big manufacturing plants that are in position to turn out war supplies, and a list of all workmen in the various plants who would be needed to increase the out put in event of war being declared.
 The plan proposed would give to the government the aid of business men of long experience and would thus save the confusion incident to the opening days of big war, when supplies are purchased at high price and are later found to be of no value.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. g. The State and Treasury departments have employed more than hundred extra detectives to stop the destruc' tion of property in the United State } by German spies or Americans who oppose the export of munitions of war. Every arms factory ;n the coIn- try has been forced to er:ploy many special guards, as bombs have beeh found under the buildings in many cases, and have exploded with conse' quent loss of life.
 The State department is greatly worried at the exposures in the Providence papers, showing that the German ambassador and his staff have frequently violated the neutral ity laws of the United States and have furnished money for the con- tinuation of the anti-adm:nistra:ion campaign in papers published i" for eign languages in the United States, and have even gone as far as to try to purchase control of the Jews agencies, and thus send to the papers plate matter favoring the German Austrian cause

 ROTTERDAM, Sept. 9.-No point is yielded by the Russians to the ad- vancing Germans until railways, bridges and everything else of mili- tary value has been destroyed, ac- cording to German reports received here. The Cologne Gazette admits the difficulties confronting the inva- ders and says:
 ''The great area west of the Wis., tula is covered by ceaseless process sions of wagons bringing up sup plies. In the devastated country, where the railroad bridges have been destroyed, an incredible amount of work has to be done. Only by heroic exertions have the Germans been able to carry supplies to their armies over the Vistula. Barges from Novo Alexandria have arrived at various points on the river"

BUSY CLIPPING
 RUSSIAN bEARDS
Germans Attentions to Prisoners Cause a Boom in the Cutlery
 Business in Empire.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-A dispatch to the Times tells of the unexpected recovery in the business of cutlery works in that place, whose normal business had been severely injured by the cutting off export trade. "For some articles, however, there Is still a great demand; and these, aside from surgical instruments are for the most part special scissors for which in great measure von Hin denburg furnishes a market.
 Four or five days after every big capture which our troops make in the east, there comes to Solingen to the central office, a demand for the immediate delivery of hair clippers. As soon as the prisoners leave the front and are shipped into the inte- rior of the country there begins a great shearing of the shaggy-haired Russians.
 The purpose of this, of course, is the Entlausung (getting rid of lice), which is necessary to remove the dan ger of infection. So great was the demand for these scissors and clip pers after the great victories in May and June that they had to be di- vided up among various factories.
 The demand is for a machine that can be produced cheaply in great quantities, and which in view of the work it has to do is equipped with new blades.
