BRIGHT DOLLARS
POURING STEADY
INTO EXCHECQUER

Sumter's exchequer is filling up at a
decidedly more rapid rate than had
been anticipated few months ago, in
view of conditions generally prevail
ing. Taxes are rather hard to pay,
even at the best, but Sumter's tax
payers are coming up all right and
are paying much better than had been
supposed. Tax Collector l. B. Small
said this morning that collections thus
far had been about as good as he could
expect, and the money was now COM
ing into the treasury at the rate OF
about 81 600 a day since January 1st.
Sumter's taxable property is eight
million dollars, and even at the rate
of 81 900 a day it will require some lit
tie time in which to effect a full set
tlement with the tax collector.

The sufferings of Belgian non-com-

into the background by stories of des-

Poland and the Carpathian country,
where women and children are literal

Palestine the weather is less severe,
but the deplorable lack Of provisions
and clothing has inflicted almost un-
believable suffering upon the peasant
classes. Thousands of Jewish colon

AMER|CUS MILLS
BUSY PREPARING
RESUME SHORTLY

Americus has five large plants man
ufhcturing commercial fertilizer in
addition to two of the largest and best
equipped cotton oil mills in the state,
and it is a subject of congratulation
that the major portion of these i'm
portant industrial enterprise will
shortly resume operation. The oil
mills are, of course, being operated on
full time already, as throughout their
busy season, but for a time it was
feared that the fertilizer plants might
not be operated for lack of material,
as the potash salts required as an i'm
portant ingredient comes from Germ
any, the only source of great supply.
However, sufficient material for oper-
ating plants has been procured and
several of them will be operated on
probably three-fourths time, it is said.
These industrial plants here afford en-
ployment to a large number of labor
ers, and the expected weekly payrolls
will add no little to the circulating
medium here shortly.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Dispatches from
news correspondents with the Russian
armies in the eastern theatre of hos
tilities today states the Russian ad-
vance guards are within twenty miles
of the German frontier north of the
Vistula river, and if their present rate
of progress can be maintained an un-
broken front stretching from Poland
to the Baltic will soon be dangerously
near German territory. This circum-
stance was commented on favorably
by British observers today, these crit
les expressing great satisfaction over
the apparent rapidity of the Muscovita
advance, as we'll as the enveloping tao
tics pursued by Grand Duke Nicholas.
These tactics already threatend to
completely sever Won Hindenberg's
lines of communication and shut off
his supplies.
Along a siXty-mile front from Gle
chnow, south of Mlwa to Dobrzyn, Oh
the Vistula, 12 miles below Plonk, the
Germans remain on the defensive.
Heavy artillery engagements have oc-
Cured at various points along the
east Prussian frontier. Meanwhile the
struggle for possession of the left bank
of the Vistula from it's junction with
the Bzura at Wiszogrod westward to
Dobrzyn continues.
Possession by the Russians of Who
grod and their footing on the left bank
of the Bzura affords them a base of op-
erations against the Germans, who are
reported to be in force west Of that
position, and effectually prevents a
movement upon Nowo Georgiawck, the
German objective in the advance to-
ward Warsaw from the north. In en-
