the Belknap Hardware Company, OF

tory. Mr.. Price is one of the best
known and most prominent hardware

ANOTHER STEAMER
VICTIM Of GERMAN
BOAT IN IRISH SEA
SUBMARINE U.12 OR U.21 SINGS
THE DEvoNsHlRE SUNDAY
MORNING.
LITTLE INFORMATION ON WAR
The Main Part of the Fighting IL on
the Prussian Border, Where the
Russians Seem to Have Rallied
Somewhat Against the Germans.

LONDON, Feb. ga German sub.
marine, described by some as the
U-12 and by others as the U-21, oper.
ating in the Irish sea yesterday,
found another victim in the Irish
coasting steamer Downshire. The
Downshire was sunk not far from the
spot where the British steamer Cam
bank, was torpedoed few hours ear
lier. The Downshire's crew, howev-
er, was given time to escape in their
boats, and instead of wasting a torpe-
do the Germans psed a bomb.
On the other side of the British
Isles, in the North sea, near the
island of Borkum, the American
steamer Evelyn, cotton-laiden, struck
mine. She sank, but her crew was
saved.
This makes the total of steamers
destroyed by submarines and mines
during the past twenty-four hours, as
far as is known. The submarines up
to now have demonstrated their abil-
ity to attack only slow steamers or
those anchored, as number of liners
have passed to and fro in the Irish
sea, where the German craft have
been at work, without being ap--
preached. In fact, with respect to
Liverpool and other west coast ports,
the arrivals and departures have been
above the Saturday and Sunday av-
erage. according to Lloyd's list.
None of the official reports of the
land fighting contain important infor-
nation, although there are big bat
ties in progress near the East Prus-
sian frontier, where the Russians
claim to have stemmed the German
advance; in western Galicia, where
the Russians have become more &C
tive; in the Carpathians, and in Blu
kowina, where again the Russians
have been reinforced and are resist
ing the Austro-German advance.
Petrograd dispatches say the Ger
mans have met an impenetrable bar
rier in the vicinity of Ossowetz, and
that their difficulties have been in
creased by the overlooking of the Me
men river. They are in great force,
however, and the battle, which is on
ly beginning, promises to be severe
one.

F|AANcIERS ENDORSE
HEARTH Y THE ORDER
AGAINST OvERDRAFTS
PARKER, MkENNoN AND Full.
TON GIVE THEIR VIEWS UPON
MATTER.
OVERDRAF1S PRACTICALLY NIL
Hailed by Them as the Most Procres.
slve Step That Has Been Taken by
State and Federal Authorities in
Many, Many Years.

THE greatest thing that has been
done for banking in long time" is
the way Hon. c. A. Parker, president
OF the Maury National Bank, the larg
est financial institution in the county
expressed himself this morning in re-
gard to the working of the order by
the state and national governments
regarding overdrafts.
Mr.. Parker is the dean Of the finan.
ciers Of Maury county. He has been
connected with banks longer than
any other man in the county. He has
watched their progress and growth
for more than thirty years. He has
a reputation as a man of unusual f.
nancial acumen and sagacity. Conse-
quently, his judgment upon such mat
tiers is eagerly sought among all
classes.
I'VE have reduced our overdrafts
to practically nil. In spite of this or
der we have not lost a customer. In
fact, most people have welcomed the
change, once that it was made. It
has had the effect of making people
watch after their bank accounts
much more closely. / do not believe
that am stating it too strongly when
l say that it has been great saving
to the people, for they have calcuiat-
ed in advance how much they have
to spend before they go to buying"
George e. McKennon, cashier of
the Columbia Bank G. Trust Compa-
ny, and Henry o. Fulton, cashier Of
the Phoenix National, echoed and
thoroughly endorsed every word of
the above. They hailed it as the
most beneficial law that has been en-
acted by the state and federal bank
ing authorities in many year They
stated that it has relieved them Of
great deal of worry, and their over
drafts are practically nothing. OF
course it was some little trouble to
put the law into effect, and some
rather objected at first, but now that
the change from the old to the new
has been effected, they are loud in
their praise of its results. In fact,
one OF these gentlemen, in answer to
a letter from John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the national treasury.
asking his opinion upon the new or
der, stated that he regarded 1t as the
most progressive step that the nation
al treasury had taken in financial
matters since he had been connected
with a bank.

ANOTHER SALE
BY FIGUERS co,
HAS SOLD DYER FARM TO TAY.
LoR AND kITTRELL FOR
$4,000.

The Figuers Realty Co. has just
closed the sale Of the R. o. Dyer farm
Of 300 acres on the Campbellsville
pike to Ernest Taylor and Albert Kit
trell for $4,000.
This splendid farm is situated five
miles from the city. While 1t has
been somewhat neglected and has nc
improvements upon it, the land is OF
native fertility that can be easily
restored. 1t is in the valley of Little
Bigby Creek. The fact that there
were no Improvements upon the farm
account for the remarkably low price
Of about $40 per acre that it brought
Messrs. Taylor and Kittrell get i'm
mediate possession of the property
and the crops upon it.
This is the third farm that this
hustling pair of young men have
bought and sold in the past three
years. On each OF them they have
made handsome profits. While they
paid Mr.. Dyer a good profit, it is ev
ident that they regard the purchase
of the land in its present state as a
good investment and one that will
bring good returns when it is brought
to proper state Of cultivation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Gold yester
day went to premium in every
country but the United States.
The depreciation in British and
German currency has become SO
acute that radical measures appear
necessary to remedy the situation.
The American dollar, in compari-
son with European moneys, is worth
more today than ever before.
Yesterday $4.S0A brought pound
sterling; the normal price is $4.S665.
Reichmarks sold here at S7Bc. for
four, against 951s normal. No such
rates have ever before been known.
Could Europeans get gold without
paying a premium they could save
money by sending the metal here to
meet indebtedness rather than set
thing in exchange at these prices.
Americans having to pay bills in
Europe are saving very substantial
amounts-one firm that RENTS $500
$4,000 every week is saving $14O,
as compared with two months ago.
The present situation arises from
the extraordinary volume of foreign
purchases here and the comparative
meagerness of our imports.
England is expected to arrange
Large "credit'-perhaps $100,00O,OOO
here through ]. P. Morgan & Co. and
associates.
Exchange on England, Germany
and other continental countries yes
terday touched the lowest records in
the memory of foreign exchange

change had declined to level where
England, to protect her credit in this
country, should establish a large
credit here, such as 1t was proposed
the United States establish in Lon.
don during the recent financial crisis
when the foreign debts of the United
States exceeded $2OO,0O0,000
At one time Sir George Paish, the
English financial advisor, and Ameri.
can bankers discussed plan for the
establishment Of $100,0O0,000 credit
by the United States in England.
Subsequently conferences between
English and American bankers were
held in Londan, and It was decided
that in case the exchange situation
should again become acute both sides
would appoint a committee to consid-
er ways and means for establishing
machinery to correct the situation.

The Evelyn is the first American

DIR. Eberle and DR.. Braithwaite as

authors-agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing US with clue to the princi-
pies upon which it is to be treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning the
nature Of disease can thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or if
uric acid in the blood has caused rheu-
matism, govt or sciatica or you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble just write DR..
Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo,,

scribe symptoms. You will receive free
medical advice after DR.. Pierce's chemist
has examined the urine - this will be
carefully done without charge, and you
will be under no obligation. DR.. Pierce
during many years of experimentation
has discovered new remedy which he
finds is thirty-seven times more power
full than lithia in removing uric acid
from the system. If you are suffering
from backache or the pains of rheuma-

for q 5O-cent box of "Amuric" put up
