Kaiser Takes Command of
Galacian Campaign

London, June 20.-After seven
weeks, battering across Galicia
during which the Russians have
been thrown back more than $50
miles the Austro Germans today
are as close to Lemberg as were
the Germans to Paris last Fall.
Never perhaps since before the
battle of the Marne, have the
Teutonic Allies appeared so con-
fident of success. Having failed
in their original plan of crushing
France and then returning to
Russia, they have reversed the
order of their strategy and now
Judging bv the expenditure of
life and ammunition in Galicia
they have pinned their whole
faith on paralyzing the Russian
army to permit the throwing of
a tremendous weight of men and
and metal into the West, there
either to break through the
Franco British line or force an
interminable period of sangui-
nary warfare.
A dispatch from Copenhagen
tonight says that the German
Emperor himself has taken
supreme command of the Cali
clan campaign. establishing his
headquarters in Silesia as near
the front as practicable.

There are two big chains OF

have their headquarters in
Charlotte. These are the Belk
stores and the Efird stores. Both
are directed by alert and shrewd
business men, whose guiding
star is that of service and value
to customers and whose busi
ness has been steadily increasing.
Only recently, the Efird chain
was increased by the addition ol
another link at Durham and
now the Belk stores are to be
augmented by the Raleigh es-
tablishment. This means that
Raleigh is to have a modern

SO far as errors are concerned
his proof are far above the

about the average for veteran
operetors on the large daily
newspapers. Joseph is lot much
larger than the keyboard on the

so completely that it responds
very readily to his touch.

Worse than Snake Story.

A few days ago Mr.. Bratton
kimbrell found a right young
rabbit out in the field and de.
cided TO take it to the house as a
treat for the old mother cat and
the little kittens. The little rab-
bit was placed in the box with
the cat,but TO the surprise of the
lockers on the cat did the rabbit
no harm. Instead it paid mark
ed defence to the little fellow
and treated 1t much nicer than
her own kittens. However. Mr..
Kimbrell thought the rabbit
would be dispatched during the
night, but when he went out to
view the situation next morning
he found the rabbit throughly
adapted to the change and along

Latest "on the Ford"

There are a number OF stories
told concerning Henry Ford of
Detroit and the we'll known
product turned out in his shops,
but the Wall Street man who
recently returned from Detroit
vouches for the truth of this
one, which he says Ford tells
on himself:
1t seems that Ford, who
believed in using his own cars,
was out in the suburbs of Detroit
one Gay and stopped when he
saw a driver of a Ford car trying
to start his machine which had
failed from some cause. The
driver did not appear able to
locate the trouble, so Ford got
out from his car and rendered his
service.
In a few minutes the stalled
car was ready to run again and
the owner, after thanking his
unknown benefactor, pulled a
half dollar from his pocket and
rendered it saying, stop at the
first place and get yourself some
cigars"
The money was declined
with the statement II have more
money now than I can find any
use for, and was only too glad
to help you get your car started
again."
The owner of the rejuvenated
car looked at the Good Samari-
tan and then at Ford's car and
said with emphasis. you're a
liar. If you had more money
than you knew what to do with
you wouldn't be running a

Climber Fell and Broke Four

broken ribs for few days as.

the flagstaff of the State capital
last Wednesday afternoon while
the building was wet from rain.
Heis a steeplejack who has been
climbing tall buildings for about
Is years. This was his first fall.
He is known as "Satanet."
Thursday he climbed blithely
the Palmetto National bank
building. The Columbia State
gives the following account of
the accident;
Harry Garduer, daring steeple-
jack known by the sobriquet OF
"Satanet," fell from the coping
of the dome of the capitol yester-
day afternoon to the slate roof,
80 to 40 feet below, when he was
trying to ascend to the flag staff
OF the building. Four ribs on the
mans right side are broken and
it is possible that he is seriously
injured internally. The accident
was witnessed by several hun
dred persons.
Il will be climbing again in a
week." he told his physician at
the hospital last night, but added,
I'll never climb, though, when
the building is wet"
Gardner had crawled up one
OF the large front columns, wrig-
Cling along with the ease of a
squirrel, bracing his hands and
knees in the fluting. After drag

overhanging ledge of the portico

and dropped to the slate roof

bounded from the force OF the
impact, then propped back with
arms outstretched, blood flow

"A. F. Stainbach, who travels
with him, was one of the first to
reach his side. Gardner fell at
Sis o'clock, but it was 5:45
O'Clock before he was rushed in
AN ambulance to the hospital.
The home of the injured man
is at Newport News, Va, where
he has a wife and three small
children. He is said to have
been practicing the dangerous

1S years. festerday's was his
first fall. The only scar he
ever got from climbing was
from staggering into a man hole

was leaving after having
mounted its walls. Just now

startling is the picture which w.
l.. Blanchard caught of the man
as he fell. The photographer
focused his lens when he saw
the climber approaching the
treacherous ledge and kept his
instrument trained. He was so
shocked when the man dropped
that he didn't realize he had
pressed the bulb. Mr.. Blanchard

Mr.. Bryan continued:

hope of permanent peace rests,

CHARLESTON. Jan. GA bill for
the state department of health has
come from the medicine and santa
ton committee OF the House with fav-
orable report and advanced to second
reading. The same bill has been fav-

connection there is wide inquiry from
many parts of the state as to the fate
Of the bill relating to the pollution OF
streams and the protection of water
supplies for cities and towns, intro
duced into the Senate by Senator Par
IRISH. The bill in question was re-
ferred to the committee ON medicine
and sanitation and there was fear on
the part Of many who strongly advo-
cate the Parrish bill that the medicine
and sanitation committee, having
under consideration the general bill
for code Of health, might sidetrack
the specific bill regulating water sup
plies. The Parrish bill was prepared
carefully for the good of all sections
Of the state, and its advocates believe
that If it had chance for fair hear
ing before the Senate and the people
it would become law.
