too generous public. | refer to the
first teachers Of the free schools of
Virginia. So far as | know. they
have not received aid from any
source.
When the war WIS over many of
our best women were left without
means of support. AS soon as the
public schools were established that
work was open to them. which they
gladly accepted and nobly did they
fill the calling

The work was very hard for those

had TO contend with prejudice against

of the countries whose nationals are

demand on the passen ger carrying

them to safeguard rather the lives of
their passengers than the possession

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 1.-The steel
wire rope plant Of the John Roebling
Company was swept by fire during the
early morning hours. involving a loss
of 100000. 1t is generally known
that this part OF the plant has been
working on war orders. The local
mill received an order last week
which amounted to more than IS, 000,-

put to work in the wire rope mill and
GOO men were working there when the
fire was started this morning. The

Help was asked for from Princeton,
Lambertville and from Bristol. Ia.
All sent companies, and for three
hours the combined forces fought the
fire. At o'clock 1t was so far burn
ed out that two companies were re-
leased and sent into the center of the
city.
While the steel rope mill was burn
ing the other plants of the Roebling
Company were under heavy guard.
Not only the police, but the employees
of the company, stood watch to see
that no one could reach them and
start fires.

Hear Nothing OF Zealandia.

Washington, Nov. 11.-No further
advices were received at the State
Department today in regard to the
reported favorable search of the
American steamship Zealandia while
lying off Progresso, Mexico. by a party
from the British cruiser. The State
Department has called upon the con-
sulate at Progresso for a complete
report of the incident. and also has
called 1t TO the attention Of the Brit
ish government through Ambassador
Page. The British embassy, it was
learned today. has also asked its rep
resentative at Progresso for a state
ment of what occurred
There is much doubt that the
United States will protest in the mat
ter, as the Zealandia has been lying
three miles off shore, and was not
searched within Mexican jurisdiction.
Launch Filler From Moving Ship.
Washington. Nov. 11.-Rear Ad-
mirai Benson. chief Of operations at
the Navy Department, returned to
Washington today from an inspection
of the naval aviation school at Pen.
sacola. He witnessed there the first
launching Of an aeroplane from the
deck Of a moving ship. which was ac-
complished with tho new launching
device installed on the cruiser North
Carolina.
A new record for speedy qualifica-
ton to fly alone has been made by
Lieutenants B. T. Young and j. c.
Montfort. These officers were in the
class assembled for aviation instruc-
ton on October !, and after ten hours
of flights, are now competent to op-
crate machines alone.
Recently bomb-dropping expert
ments have been carried on at the
school on an elaborate scale. Lieu

LARGEST SALE OF THE SEASON IN
AMERICUS EFFECTED
TODAY.

The greatest single sale of spot cot
ton made in Americas this season was
effected this morning in the disposal
of eight hundred bales cotton, owned
by Messrs. Arthur Rylander, Rylander
& Sheffield and Rylander & Allen, col
lectively. This large lot was sold at
the Dudley Bonded Warehouse to the
Taylor Cotton Co., through its Amerf-
Gus representative, Mr.. Walter A.
Cleveland.
This lot of 800 bales, basis good mid
ding, brought the record seasons
price of Z ga to cents, and thus puts
in circulation probably 100000.
This large lot of cotton was grown
upon three farms, the Rylander plan
tation near Americus, the Rylander-Al-
len farm here, and the Allen-Sheffield
farm in Dougherty, in which Mr.. Ry-
lander is also interested. The staple
was of very excellent grade, perhaps.
the largest single lot of fine cotton un-
sold, of the more than 10000 bales
still remaining in Americus ware
houses.
There we're several bidders for this
valuable lot of the feecy staple, and
Mr.. Cleveland was fortunate in secur-
ing it for the Taylor Company.

MARRIED THREE times !.
IN JUST THREE MONTHS
Especial to TimesRecorder.)

VALDOSTA, Ca, Jan. 11.-Mang re-
markable stories of bigamists are
written in the criminal records Of the
various state courts, but if the charges
John S. Houston, now await
ing trial at Hazlehurst, are true, he
probably holds the record for speed as
a contractor of bigamous marriages.
Houston first married in Missouri,
it is stated, and lived with his first
wife for several years, six children
being born to them. Then he started
forth, early in 1914, on sort Of
whirlwind matrimonial career. In
February he married Miss Roberts
in North Carolina. In the following
month, March, he moved on to point
in South Carolina, where he married
a Miss Cora Stroud. Then he pro-
ceeded in the following month of
April to Helena, where he welded a
Miss Garrison-a record of three
in three months.
When Houston is arraigned for
trial on February l, he will be con-
fronted by his February bride from
North Carolina, his March bride from
South Carolina, and his April bride
from Georgia, who between them
should be able to make things rather
for the tickle author
of their woes.

but little larger than that Of Holland)
the possibilities are shown by the
statement that when South America
becomes as large per capita buyer in
the markets of the world as Cuba is
today, it will demand import worth $2,-
000,000,O00 annually, and when it has
as much to sell per capita as Cuba has
today it will have an export business
worth $2,55O, 100000 annually.
But backward as South America is
in its foreign trade, it is by no means
as backward as Central America. The
volume of the exports of the six coun-
tries which constitute Central America
Is smaller in proportion to area than
those of any other region of like size
and resources in the New World. How
small it actually is may be illustrated
by another comparison with Cuba's
foreign trade. Having a population
five times as great as that of Cuba, the
six Central American states buy only a
third as much in the markets of the
world as the Island Republic; and
they sell one-fourth as much as Cuba.
Their per capita imports, therefore,
are only about one-fifteenth as large
as those of Cuba, and their per capita
exports only one-twenties as large. Yet
no one thinks that Cuba has reached
the fullness of its possibilities, and no
one believes that Central America,
once it becomes fully developed, will
fail to show larger foreign trade per
capita than Cuba shows today"

QUIT MEAT when
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says Il
wellAknown authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filte!
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheum-
atism,, headaches, liver trouble, nec-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalGing,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescert
lithia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. Hooks Pharmacy.
