A representative of this paper imme-
diately sought an interview with the
sheriff. but he had been without sleep
for so long and it was SO late at
night, the train being two hours late.
the interview lasted but few min
utes. The sheriff stated that he had
left Turner in Jacksonville for safe
keeping until he could come here and
look the situation over. Mr.. Ramsey
said that he at no time felt that his
prisoner would be treated with mob
violence but that the negro was so
terribly afraid of lynching that he de-
cided to leave him in Jacksonville,
for a few days at least.
Mr.. Ramsey said that Turner made
several different kinds of confessions
but that In each one he claimed self
defense. In one statement Turner Is
alleged to have said that he struck
the old man in the head with board
that had nails in it, He also is alleg

him with a butcher knife and that

25OTH ANNIVERSARY OF
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TOO"

The Hague, Dec. 27 THE Dutch
marine corps, popularity known in
the Netherlands as Soldiers and
Sailors ToO," celebrated the 25Oth
anniversary of its formation at Will
lemsoord on Dec. 10. Although the
corps has had a history of gallant
deeds in every quarter of the globe,
the celebration was held under the
cloud of possible disbandment, for
there is an inclination in official
circles to abolish the corps altogeth-
er in the near future, as its useful
ness Is believed to have disappeared
under modern conditions of naval
warfare. Gradual reduction of the
number of officers has been going on
for some time and for several years
no appointment to the commissioned
ranks have been made The marines,
however, have been maintained at
a high state of efficiency, and among
the Dutch people they are more pop
ular than any other troops.
It was in the days of the famous
Dutch Admiral De Ruyter that the
corps came into existence. Only two
years later, in 1867, the corps took
part in the Dutch naval raid on
Chatham in England. For two and
a half centuries since their daring
exploitg have included the Spanish
war of succession against the French
at Cadiz; the storming of Gibraltar
in alliance with the British marines
in 1904; the capture of Barcelona;
and battles in Spain against the
French at Madrid, Alicante and Sar-
agossa. For many years they fought
in he Dutch colonies, suppressing
native uprisings, and in colonial ex-
peditions against England and
France. It was in the latter cam
paign that the Dutch marines were
forced to capitulate after a hard
fight at the Cape of Good Hope in
$50 and South Africa thus fell into
British hands Since the beginning
of the last century, except for the
Belgian revolution in 1880, the
Dutch marines have been employed
solely in navy duty and colonial
wars. but they have scarcely ever
been idle.

OLD FRENCH SAWM1LL
UTILIZED BY GERMANS IN
FITTING UP POSITIONS

In the Argonnes, France. Dec. 81.
miles behind the front, yet
near enough to it so that it's products
car be transported to the trenches
with little difficulty, lies the So
called Hindenburg Mill-a one-time
French sawmiil that for years had
lain inactive, and which has been
utilized by the Germans for fitting
up their positions.
Every bit of machinery in the mill
is F'rench-most of it requisitioned
from similar establishments in all
parts of the Argonnes Forest. The
Germans estimate that they have
spent not more than 1000 marks in
rehabilitating the institution which
today is turning out from 1900 to
10000 marks worth of furniture a
month.
Tic mill originally was purely a
saw mill, but departments have been
added in which stoves are being
made for the trench shelters at the
front, and in which many metal
parts are moulded for the manifold
needs of the fighting men few
miles away.
Several score of soldiers, carpen-
ters and machinists by trade, have
been assigned to the Hindenbure
Mill, and are, daily, turning out by
the wholesale window sashes, chairs
bookcases, desks, tables and other
things for the rooms" where the
German soldier, at leisure, spends
his time.

CHRISTMAS OBSERVED IN
BELGIUM ON DECEMBER 6
,By Associated Press.)


The Hague, Dec 24-Santa Claus
kisits Holland and Belgium each
year about three weeks before he
goes to the United States, for the
children of these two countries hon
br their patron saint and receive his
bnnuel gifts on st. Nicholas Day.
December 6.
St. Nicholas lived in Holland and
Eas Bishop of Amsterdam, where his
memory is honored by fine statue.
His traditional liberality to his par
Ishoncrs led to the custom of hang
tng up the children's stockings on
bis feast day SO that he might drop
git therein. In Holland, Santa
Claus is not only the patron saint OF
children, but also the patron of
Fcholars, prospective brides, sailors,
bnd Parish clerks. He is also the
patron saint of Russia.
As III previous years, the st. Mich
bias Day gifts in Holland this years
were largely of German manufac-
ture. The shops were flooded with
elockwork toys of new and ingenious
desigl, most of them naturally sug-
gestcd by war. Picture books and
eolored prints were in infinite va
fiety, and there was display OF
Cheap jewelry and enamel work
rather finer than in any pre-war
yea ! when presumably much OF
tht est waresS went to markets over
seas that are closed to German
goods this year.
There are Austrian gloves, hats
candies in great abundance and al
lower prices than ever before. OF
more strictly Dutch manufacture
are the plaques and tiles, the choco'
late birds and beasts, and the fine
sweetmeat alphabets with letter:
sometimes six inches. high.
st. Nicholas Day is celebrated
throunhout Holland with much the
same festivities as those of Thanks
giving or Christmas in America
There are no Christmas trees, bu
there is a great dinner with an ex
traoIdinary variety of good things
to eat. Neither plum-pudding
pumpkin pie, or turkey figure on th'
Dutc!, menu, however. The chlld
rens' stockings are hung up on tn
night of December 5, and are dis
covered properly filled with suitable
Presents at dawn of the 9Th. In
stead of oranges and apples, TN
Dutch child finds a great variety 0

In number of the towns the on
custom of a sort of municipal cele
sraticn endures despite the pres

lection of maskers, many of whoI
