YOUNG PITCHER HURTS
SIGHT BY ACCIDENT

Harvey Lee Pitcher, the eleven-year-
old son of r. e. Pitcher, who resides
seven miles northwest of Americas, is
in imminent danger of losing his left
eye, the result of regrettable acct
dent which occurred two weeks ago.
The young boy was popping" whip
when the tip of the instrument struck
him squarely in, the eye, infiicting a
very painful injury, which has failed
to respond satisfactorily under subse-
ouent treatment. DR.. Henry B. Allen,
who examined young Pitchers injury
and has since been in charge of the
case today expressed the opinion that
the sight will soon be lost entirely,
but the hope is yet retained that it will
not be necessary to entirely remove
the orb. The friends of Mr.. Pitcher
and of his young son, as well, will all
regret to learn of the unfortunate ae-
cident of which young Pitcher was the
victim.

Recovering The Wild Youths
Is Another Hard Duty OfU. S.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Of the
many unexpected duties the United
States has found thrust upon it by
the word war one of the strongest is
that of rescuing adventurous boys

There have been more than thous-
and such cases since the war began,
and even now letters praying for the

sary to assign an official to give spec

7 Realise ON RYE
CULTURE PRINTED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3.-The
tendency in the last few years toward
the spread of rye culture in the United
States has led the Department of Ag-
riculture to issue treatise on the
subject which has just been published
and is being distributed to farmers
asking for it. The United States last
year produced its record crop of rye,
harvesting 100000 bushels. Ameri-
can production is only three per cent
of the worlds production. The De-
partment experts point out that there
are many excellent reasons for grow
ing rye on the farm even though in
most localities it is less profitable as
grain crop than wheat Rye is harder
and can therefore be grown as a win
ter grain in cold, exposed places. 1t
will do well on sandy, poor, or acid
land and may be sown later than
wheat. 1t is attacked by fewer in
sects and diseases than wheat, pro-
duces valuable straw, requires less
fertilizer, and being earlier is better
as forage crop. In some sections
production value per acre from rye ac-
tually exceeds that Of heat. This was
true in the five-year period from 1910
to 1914 in South Carolina, Alabama,
Texas, Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota.

MAKE PROFIT OF
SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS

PICKING, Nov 3.-During the six
months from July to December, 1915,
Japanese firms are said to have realiz-
ed a profit of sixty million dollars sill
YER from Chinese brass cash bought
i'll the northern provinces of the re-
public. This cash IS the old fashioned
Chinese money, with square holes in
the center. Much of it is very old and
its value as a circulating medium is so
far below the market value of the met
al it contains that there is a profit of
at least two hundred per cent in buy
ing the old coin and melting it down.

BIC CAR SHORTAGE.
SHOWN ON FIGURES

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 3-Not only
was the shortage of care that existed
OH October the greatest on that date
in the history of the country, but the
proportionate shortage of coal cars
and gondolas was very high. according
to figures which have been called to
the attention of the Georgia railroad
COMMISSION in connection with the
present coal shortage, caused by the
shortage of cars in the South, and
throughout the country.
These figures show that the largest
shortage in recent years was on Oc-
tober 1, 1907, when there was net
shortage of 5S,276 cars.
In that year, however, 1916 cars OF
the net shortage were box cars, leav-
was 61,130 cars, and of that number
only 33,016 were box cars, and 1882
and gondolas.
On October /, 1916, the net shortage
ing a shortage of only 1910 coal cars
were coal cars and gondolas.
These figures show conclusively the
reason why the coal dealers and users
are feeling the effects of the shortage
with an especially hard pinch, and this
shortage of coal is not confined to
Georgia or the South, but is general
throughout the country The shortage
of coal cars and gondolas is caused by
the enormous shipments of coal at
fancy prices to manufacturing con-
Germs engaged in rush orders of war
supplies, and caused also by the uns-
usually large shipments of ore to the
steel and iron plants.
AS for the shortage of box cars,
railroad officials explain that it is
caused by the exceptionally heavy vol
ume of traffic moving ON all trunk
lines, and especially by the conges-
ton of loaded and empty cars in the
yards at seaports.
Shippers in Georgia are being urg-
ed by the railroads to but out unnec-
essary delays in movement, to load
cars to their maximum capacity, and
in releasing cars at the earliest pos
sible moment after they have been I'M
loaded

KOREA IS COMING
BACK IN TRADING

SEOUL, Korea, Nov 3.-Oficial in
vestigation shows that Korea has
gradually recovered from the blow
dealt her trade by the European war
last year. The export of COW hides
shows great increase, due to the
large demand for them by Japan to
meet the large order for army boots
from Russia. In Korea, some two mil
lion yen worth of boots and ammuni-
ton pouches were exported to Russia
Partly as material for the chemical
industry that has developed in Japan
to reach markets monopolized by Ger
many, and partly to meet the general
demand in the market owing to the
shortage of stock, the export from
Korea of rice, linseed, tallow, cotton,
alum, gold ore, coal and dye stuffs
greatly increased.
A decrease was generally seen in ar
ticles imported from Europe. a re-
markable falling off being witnessed
in the cures for wheat flour, condensed
milk, sailed herring, alcohol, aniIine
dye stuffs, iron and dynamite. Imports
from the mother country, however, in
creased and Japanese goods took the
place of ofreign articles especially
wheat flour. iron nails and plate gloss.
The deduction is that Korea will
more and more depend on Japan for
her necessities.
