THE CITY OF YPRES
Flemish City Once Had Population
of 100000.

"Ypres, beaten back from the zenith
which 1t attained around the year
1900, ever dropping lower in the scale
of Importance, Is today apparently
facing the last few scenes Of its tragic
decline. For weeks Ypres has figured
prominently in the war dispatches, as
Germans and allies have rolled in al
ternate destructive waves over Its
site" says a statement issued by the
National Geographic society, recently.
"Ypres was formerly the capital OF
West Flanders. It Is situated 35 miles
south Of Ostend, on the Yperlee. The
town lies in the midst of a fruitful
region, which is drained swamp and
marsh land. Since the flooding OF the
country as a war measure, the swamp
land is today as it was in the mid
die ages.
"In the 14th century, Ypres rivaled
Burgess and Client. 1t was one OF
Europe's great cloth-weaving centers,
a city Of vast wealth, and one knows
everywhere through the excellence
and popularity Of its products. In its
prime, it was city Of 100000. Prior
to the war, its population numbered
1900.
"The cloth making industry Of Ypres
dates back to 1913. AS this industry
grew, and skillful weavers, dryers and
finishers were gathered to the city,
Ypres came to occupy in the woolen
and mixed fabric world much the
same place that, today, Nottingham
takes for the manufacture Of lace cur
tains or Lyons for the manufacture OF
silk. It is said that by the first quar-
ter Of the 18th century, Ypres had A.
900 looms going constantly.
"On July II, 1902, It was their red
coated contingent that turned victory
to the banners Of the F1emings in
their battle with the French under the
walls Of Courtra, IL miles east OF
Ypres. The Flemish army numbered
10000 citizens Of Client, Burgess and
Ypres. and the French 1000 knights
and 10000 foot soldiers.
Several popular risings, the fearful
plague Of 1347, and then a wild bac-
chanal Of war blighted the hopes of
Ypres, sapped it's strength, destroyed
its industry, killed off and scared away
its people, ruined its homes. and
finally, broke its spirit. The re-estab-
lishment of an independent Belgium
found it hopelessly beaten In the strug-
gle for prosperity and prestige.
Cotton, linen and woolen cloths and
laces are still manufactured-or were
before the war-in Ypres, but 1t Is
now just one Of a multitude Of tex
tile towns, and the world today will
take little notice of the manner Of its
passing"

Our Soldiers.

The heart-rending report has

the death Of one Of our proprietors
William w. East. ESQ.,, who was
wounded at the battle Of the Chicka-

fathers in Laurens district, but was
prostrated by fever at Newberry
where it is said he died. We have no
intelligence of the fact.
Dispatches received here on Tues
day, announced the killing Of Messrs
John Mcknight and Estes in the
pending battle near Richmond. Col
Andrew Jackson, Of the 5th, had an
arm shot off, and was otherwise
wounded. Sergt. w. Dixon Miller OF
Capt. McCorkles company was wound
ed slightly as also was Mr.. 5. E. Car

has been heard from; he is prison
err and his wound is doing we'll. VIII
liam A. Fewell, wounded in the knee,
is also a prisoner.
A list of the casualties from an Of
fetal source cannot be published un-
til after the battle. In the meantime
even dispatches may be treated with
some allowance.

OWNER OF THE DAcIA
He is an American Citizen Of Wealth
and Patriotism.

When the matter Of buying the
steamship Dacia was first brought be-
fore the public and discussed, all kinds
Of charges were made. 1t was said
the idea had been inspired by that
much-abused and maligned man, the
kaiser, who had done 1t to produce
strife and friction in this country The
following from the Springfield Repub-
lican, which is one Of the most con-
servative Of American newspapers, at
least explodes the conspiracy idea:
The man who bought the steamship
Dacia from her German owners and
placed her under the American flag,
was born in Michigan, and was chris
tened Edward N. Breitung. His faith
er was a lumberman half German and
half Russian in blood. The younger
Breitung married a French woman, so
that his children, If he has any, are a
composite Of pretty nearly all Of the
chief belligerents. But Mr.. Breitung,
the present owner Of the Dacia, Is as
much American as anyone. Before he
bought the German ship, he tried to
buy English and French ships. Speak
ing of him in the senate, William AL
den Smith, Republican senator from
Michigan, said:
Il know Mr.. Breitung very well.
Some senators here today remember
his father, who was an honored men,
ber Of congress from Michigan for
number Of years, very wealthy man,
typical frontiersman, a man Of
courage and patriotism and the high
est conception Of good citizenship. That
his son should have purchased this
ship out Of his own abundant means
and placed it in service does not sur
prise me and will not surprise any Of
those who have the privilege and honor
Of knowing him; and have no doubt
whatever that the entire transaction,
which has attracted the attention Of
the country, is in absolute good faith"
There has been no conspiracy" on
Mr.. Breitung's part, so far as anyone
can discern, in buying the Dacia and
sending her to Europe loaded with
cotton.
