ODD INCIDENTS.
Bits of News Out of the Ordinary
Gathered from Exchanges.

A nail factory in Pueblo, Cal.
makes the largest and smallest nails
in the world. The SIC brads require
3O,500 to the pound, and half mill
ion are cut minute. The II by 5-S

DR.. Otton Henry Rhode, of Brook
lyn. in his paper on "Canteens. read
at the convention of the Medico-
Pharmaceutical league. said that
beers and light wines are active
acids to the system as we'll as food
and drink, and that the women and
children of the United States are in
turing their health by the inordinate
use of soft drinks at soda fountains.
When chiropractors adjusted two
yertebrae in the neck OF Frank Van
VIE, of Milwaukee, Wis, whose MIND
had been blank for two years, he
awoke to find himself married and
in the home of his wife. He had lost
his mind following an injury and had
wandered without knowing what he
was doing until cured.
Taking advantage of sunrise re-
hearsal when the young women STU
dents were practicing an esthedlc
barefoot dance on the dewy lawns,
burglar entered the dressing room OF
fashionable school of art and en-
preston at Los Angeles, and made
of with eight purses, containing

The Norwegian diet recently pass
ed a law providing that the licenses
of motion picture theatres in Norway
shall expire in 1916. The cities may
then renew the licenses or establish
municipal motion picture shows.
Many of the cities propose to show
educational films in municipallzeo
theatres, thinking the surplus earn
ings of the theatres will increase the
city revenues. The proprietors of the
motion picture houses will lose their
businesses without compensation, al
though some of the cities are extend
ing the time for canceling the licenses
until 1918.

New Explosives Have Terrific Power

Seven-eights of the wounds in the
Galician fighting were caused by
shells half of which were fired from
big-calibre guns, said Surgeon-Maior
Lesghintseff to an interviewer on re-
turning to Warsaw from the front.
Bullets play no part now he
continued, and the infantryman' s
rife is a toy. Infantry merely occu-
pies the trenches the cannon have
won"
Most devastating Of all are the new
Skoda shells Of the Germanic allies,
which are seventeen inches in dame
ter and weigh $500 pounds. The
Skoda howitzer shoots at high an
gle and it's shells penetrates twenty
feet into soft earth before exploding
two seconds after striking.
These howitzers do not resemble
the Krupp mortars of the same cali
bre to which they are said to be su-
perior in every way.
When a Skoda hits, it means death
to everything within a radius of l50
yards and even farther off. The mere
pressure of it's gas rips open the
bomb-proof shelters and catches
those who escape the metal frag-
ments and flying debris.
This gas enters the body cavatles
and tears flesh asunder, sometimes
stripping the men of their clothes.
Of course, the men in the immediate
neighborhood of the explosion are
annihilated.
So fierce is the heat of the shell
that it melts rifle barrels as II they
had been struck by lightning.

CORRECTS PRINTED STATEMENT
Bank Examiner Gives Out Statement
in Regard to Bank of Lodge.

|. NJ. Mauldin, State bank eXamin-
er. has sent the following statement
to the News and Courier in regard
to the alleged shortage in the Bank
OF Lodge:
My attention has been called to a
communication published in your is
sue of July Is. page ,, bottom o.
column >. dated Walterboro, July
ia, and giving an account of an ap-
parent shortage of $1,000 in the
Bank of Lodge, Lodge, S. c. In the
second paragraph Of this communica-
ton | find this statement:
The bank examiner made his
usual inspection about a month ago
and reported nothing wrong with the
books of the bank, but the officers,
on account of the bank not paying
as large dividends as they thought 1t
should and for other reasons, decld-
ed to have a thorough examination
made which resulted as above "
wish to correct some erroneous
statements embodied in the above
quotation. for the reason that they
might be construed by some as re-
Election upon the efficiency of the ex-
aminations made by examiners con-
nected with this Office.
In the first place, the usual exam
ination of this bank was made by a
representative of this Office on March
10, four months ago. and not about
a month ago as indicated by your
correspondent. The examiner did not
report that there was nothing wrong
with the books of this bank as stated
by your correspondent. The exam
iner's report was properly made; and
filed in the Office of the State treas
urer, as required by law. An in
spection of the report will show that
there were a number of discrepancies,
inaccuracies and irregularities to
which attention was duly called. Not
only that, but shortly after the eX-
animation, to wit, on March p, these
! IRREGULARITIES were taken up with the
president of the bank by letter, and
his attention was duly called thereto.
The presidents reply to this letter
indicated that the matters complain
ed of were having prompt attention
by himself and the directors. The
fact is, as am informed, it was the
report of this examination and the
letters pursuant thereto which
brought about the employment Of au-
ditors for the purpose of making a
more complete audit of all the books
and accounts of the bank than 1t was
possible for the bank examiner to
make within the limited time availa-
BILE for that purpose.
We do not believe that your corre-
spondent purposely misrepresented
the facts in such way as to appar-
emily reflect upon the efficiency of
this department, but no doubt he was
misipformed.
This explanation is merely for the
purpose of keeping the records
straight.

Disappearance Credited To Activ-
tiles OF British Submarines
tAssociated Press by Federal wirslsss.)


LONDON, October l5.--According to
an Exchange Telegraph despatch from
Stockholm, no fewer than seventeen
German ore steamers in the Baltic tradl
are now posted as missing and their dis
appearance credited to the activities
of the British submarines. No word a
to the fate of their crews is available
and it is not known whether they have
been taken prisoners and conveyed to
some Rus ian detention port, or whether
they have been sunk with their ships
Dispatches from Marseilles an.
nounce the arrival there Of
the survivors of the crew of the
French steamers Yunnan, Provincial
and Sainte Marguerite, which were
Summarized in the Aegean last week by
German or Austrian submarines. The
captains of each steamer claims that
no warming was given prior to the at
tack. The survivors were brought to
MarsCilles on the French steamer Mos
soul.
On the Yunnan, which was towed
into a Greek port after being struck,
eight of the crew were killed by the
explosion of the torpedo and five others
were wounded The Porvincia and the
Sainte Marguerite were sunk.

SUGAR CONTRACTS CLOSED?

rms news evidently means that Cap
tain MatsOn has secured the desired ar.
rangements with the sugar men. A
letter received here from Judge II. f..
Cooper, Carnival director, when he was
on the Coast, said that Captain Matsou
would build another Matsonia if he got
what he wished.
This word was confirmed here bv j.
II. Drew, manager of the shipping de-
partment of Castle & Cooke, Matson
line agents, who said that he expected
another MatsOnia if the company made
wished for contracts.
Honolulu will be gratifed exceed,
insly at the news. The new ship will
give accommodations for $50 passenger
or more, if she is sister of the Mat.
sonia, and will aid greatly in putting
the islands on firm basis for increase,
in passenger traffic.
In view of this, 1t is believed that
tentative plans to increase the cabin
of the Lurline will not go through,
although, with another steamer in
1917, the Lurline could be withdrawn
for the additions without disrupting
tine present weekly schedule.
