- Greenville News: Declaring that
he had purchased morphine from ev-
cry drug store in the city but two,
one of which he had never tried, a
man giving the name Of Hamp Roland,
talked for several minutes with a
Greenville News reporter, and de-
clared that he had, within the past
week or two, secured prescriptions for
whole bottles of morphine, paying rs
to so cents for the prescription, and
s1.25 per bottle for bottles containing
60 grains each Of the drug. He stated
that at one time he used as much as
two bottles per week, but that he had
cured himself practically, taking now
only four grains per day. At the
same time in another cell, raving and
moaning and calling upon the Lord
to have mercy upon her, was poor
deranged woman who claimed to be
the wife Of Roland, piteously crying
for more morphine after she had
taken seven grains. She gave the
name Of Jennie Martin, alias Jennie
Roland According to her story, she
has been taking the drug for rs or 80
years and it requires, according to
her statement about sixteen grains
daily, the two together taking three
60-grain bottles per week. The man
talked with some intelligence and was
perfectly free in telling all about his
trouble with the drug. He stated that
several years ago he was injured on
the railroad, his back being hurt and
that the physician gave him morphine.
He stopped minute and said: "A
doctor ought to be mighty careful
about giving it to person, and not
give it unless it is absolutely neces-
sary." He could not work without TAX
ing morphine, he said, after he was
injured and gradually increased the
dose until he was taking two bottles
He then began to decrease the dose,
after he had been a slave for several
years, and said that now he had work.
ed down to four grains day. He be-
lieved that in six months he could
cure himself entirely, though he said
that three days was the longest he
could go without it and that If 1t were
taken away from him he would be in
a terrible fix, that his nerves would
, completely break down and he would
be helpless and miserable. He told
how easy it was to get the drug be-
fore the new Federal law went into
effect, stating that many time he
had sent the 12-year-old son to the
drug store and purchased bottle OF
co grains, paying 40 cents for it. He
said that he had purchased the drug
from all but two drug stores Of the
city, that one he had never tried and
that at the other he was turned down.
No prescription was required, he said,
only the purchase price. 40 cents.
Since the new law has gone into effect
he stated that the drug was harder to
get, that some physicians would not
write a prescription, though he said
that there were some who would do so,
charging from % to so cents each for
them and that one physician charged
81 for a prescription. The drug also,
he stated, has gone up, and that the
last bottle which he had as we'll as
Others which he told Of. cost $l.25
each One druggist in the city, who
refuses to deal in the drug, says that
the price for the medicine should
have been so cents per bottle, or at
least, that is the price he could sell 1t
at.

BIRDS ARE DISTURBED
Much Shooting Has Disturbed tho
Feathered FIocks of Europe.

Much Shooting Has Disturbed the
Feathered FIoeks Of Europe.
Even the birds have gone wrong in
Europe. Mans madness has upset
their lives and habits and the very
few ornithologists in England and
France who can stick to their study OF
birds, in spite Of the war, are scratch
ing their heads about it, says William
G. Shepherd, a United Press corre-
spondent in Europe.
The pathways Of the birds, as they
fly to the south in winter and back
again, in the spring, have been map
ped out for years in Europe. But the
birds have forsaken their old routes
and the bird men say it is because OF
the war.
Shore lights, and even the lights Of
the town, it seems, are guides for the
birds in their long southwark Journeys
and this year the lights are gone.
The same light that would direct
little feathered fellow toward sunny
Italy would also direct huge Zeppe-
lin toward an English coast town. So
all the folks Of the air, whether cover
ed with feathers or canvas, are trav-
cling in the dark this year. The can
vas birds can carry their own lights,
in a pinch, but the other kind must
get along as best they can, without
lamps. There is no doubt that the
birds found their way to the south, as
usual, but they groped their way, and
it was probably slow travelling. Their
return to the north, when spring
comes, will be as difficult.
The bird men have proved, beyond
a doubt, that the birds are disturbed
by the sounds Of firing.
The Rev. Charles Kent Of Thetford,
one Saturday night recently, heard
terrific chattering Of the pheasants
and small birds around his house.
There was terrific fuss in birdlom.
The cries were shrill and wild. The
birds left their beds in the trees and
flew about in terror. Their ears were

rector and his family were missing.
But, when the rector picked up the
Sunday morning paper, he saw that
the German Zeppelin had bombarded
the coast, some miles away, during
the very hours Of the birds excite
ment. He was so impressed that he
wrote letter to the Times about II.
whereupon many other residents of
that part Of England said that all the
birds, in their neighborhoods, had
conducted themselves in the most ex-
traordinary manner during the raids,
even though the writer's, themselves.
had not been able to hear the sounds
of shooting.
At distance Of 81 miles the pheas-
ants shrieked themselves hoarse over
sounds Of firing.
Whether the birds will become tired
of the incessant firing on the conti-
nent and impatiently leave the war
districts remains to be seen.

operations may not be confined to any
particular quarter. At least, it is not
proper that more should be written of
our programme, were we entitled to
peep behind the curtain. Sufficient to
say that the country is not unpro-
tected, and this point Is not being neg
lected by any means.
The change of position together with
the rough riding and exposure of the
box cars at night, has caused severe
colds throughout the camps, but lit
tie rest will probably relieve them.
Our locality is now a very convenient
one for news, but the Charleston pa
per will give your readers particulars
far more reliable than the many ru-
mors of the camps, though you shall
be apprised Of all matters Of interest
as they may occur or may be proper
to be written. The well-doing Of the
regiment will be probably the only
interest of the present letter.
The present title of our headquarters
is Camp Williams" in honor Of our
colonel, who it may be proper to state,
was not present at the christening
this evening. The compliment is well
deserved and we doubt not will be
properly appreciated.

SUBMARINE IN STEEL TRAP.
Bodies Of 80 Germans Found in Graf
Held by Steel Net.

Held by Steel Net.
The effectiveness Of the steel sub
marine traps which have been put
down to guard the British rivers and
harbors has been shown by the fact
that two German submarines have
been caught in the Firth Of Forth.
In addition a third has been sunk on
the coast Of Haddingtonshire and
fourth was rammed last Wednesday,
disabled, captured and towed to Leith,
where the crew was taken prisoners.
No description of these nets can be
given and no information Of their ef-
fectiveness has been allowed to go
forth by cable, but at this date, since
King George himself has inspected
one of the captured submarines and
it is talked about freely no harm can
come from the letting the world know
of It.
The first of the submarines, one Of
the very large type, was caught In the
net of the Firth of Forth which held

When the matches were finally
opened an investigation showed twen-
ty-nine dead German sailors and their
officers. In addition there were four
Scotch fishermen. Today the names
of these men stand very high in their
native land.
1t was apparent that the submarine,
bound on a voyage Of destruction up
the Firth came upon the men fishing.
She took them prisoners and ordered
them to steer their craft safely up to
a point where they could accomplish
their mission.
It has been asked: did the fisher
men. knowing Of the traps, the huge
steel nets stretched here and there
deliberately steer the submarine into
one of them?" They were caught and
they died.-London dispatch to New

BUSINESS AND THE
MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS.

1T IS a difficult matter to de,
velop efficient militia and National
Guard organizations. One OF the worst
obstacles Is the trouble militia men
commonly experience in getting away
from their employments for military
maneuvers.
The present critical diplomatic sit.
uation should have n lesson for bust
ness men. They usually realize theo-
retically that a body of militia Is a
necessity. But when it comes to let
ting this or that employe have aweek's
vacation to attend camp, they are
apt TO balk.
Militia men can not get much mill
tary practise merely by drilling in
halls and on the streets of their own
town. They need to get out into the
country practice the routine of war
and get an idea of what actual fight.
ing would be like. A couple of weeks
a year would be none too much.
When a man takes an oath to obey
the orders of his superiors in cas- of
war, he is making n patriotic Contribu-
tion greater than anything in mere
money. The employer Is not going
half way in patriotism, unless he is
willing to contribute by giving the re-
cruit leave to attend camp.
