by thousands because they have pur
posely been sent to districts with
murderous climate and have to per-
form the hardest kind of manual la
Dor in a temperature OF 10 degrees
and more in the shade.
The 'Koelnische Zcitung'' reprints
an article recently published by the
Paris "Liber Parole" in which II is
stated that many thousands of Ger
man prisoners have been transported
to Morocco and are treated there in
the harshest possible manner in order
to degrade the Germans in the eyes
OF the natives and TO destroy German
influence in Africa forever.
This astonishing confession of a
official French organ has caused
flaming indignation throughout Ger
many and the entire press demands
reprisals. Acting on this demand, the
German government has notified
France through the Swiss minister in
Paris that $4,000 captured French
soldiers will be sent to Mesopotamia
and compelled to work on the Bag
dad railroad, If the German prisoners
in Africa are not brought back to Eu-
rope Immediately. The climate of the
marshy districts OF Mesopotamia is
similar to that of the fever ridden low
lands OF Algiers and Morocco.

TEACHERS WILL HEAR
RESULTS AUGUST 20
Examiners Now Engaged In Work on
Examination Papers-Threc
Thousand Applicants.

Each July some 5000 public school
teachers take the regular State ex-
aminations for certificates to teach
school,. To check up the papers of
these teachers. which are examined
first by the county and city suoerin-
tendents, the State Board of Educa-
ton has established a board of ex-
aminers consisting of a number of
division superintendent and expert
enced school principals. The exam
liners are now in session in the Cham
Der of Commerce building and VIII,
during the next ten days, examine
thousands of papers. The work is
done as rapidly as is consistent with
accuracy in order that the teachers
may know the results at tho earliest
possible moment.
Some very amusing answers are
given by the teachers. many of whom
are excited when they pass through
the ordeal of examination. For in
stance. q few years ago the eyes of
q negro applicant fell upon the fol-
lowing question on hygiene: Why
should we breathe through the nos
trils?" In common parlance. this was
a doxologer for the colored peda-
gogue. who, after scratching his head
for a half hour, wrote the following
answer:
I'VE should breathe through the
nostrils in order to ventilate our
brains"
A large number of the teachers.
however, make very creditable marks.
state Superintendent Stearnes be-
lieves. that all teachers who took the
July examinations will hear from
their papers not later than August 20.

WEEKS REVIEW OF
BUSINESS SITUATION
Dry II. r.. RODEN.C


The total transaction in the stock
market were smaller than for many
weeks past No incentive was found,
and the public interest in speculation
has dwindled to almost nothing. The
report of the United States Steel Cor
poration for the second quarter. COW
ering the months OF April. May and
June, failed to stimulate new buying.
This report was the most favorable
the company has ever issued, and the
net profit of over ISL. 100000 for the
quarter was phenomenal. Money was
in fair supply for call loans at rates
ranging to 2 "a per cent and time
money was offered freely Railway
earnings are away above the seasonal
average and traffic shows no sign of
falling off The steel and iron trade
is working at capacity. New orders
for shells have been placed during
the week. and other large and profit
able contracts are pending.
The railway strike agitation may
provide opportunities which do not
ii cannot last long and earnings will
not be seriously affected Serious dis
cnssion is going on looking to more
frequent publication of earnings of
industrial corporations. With few ex-
ceptions such companies issue reports
but once a year and this movement
is for the purpose OF having quarter
ly reports. Such action would be very
to stockholders.
Well informed copper experts pre-
dict that exports OF the metal will
increase materially during the next
two or three months. Serious de-
clines in the stock market are not
expected in we'll Informed quarters,
in the absence OF any new and radi-
caIly unsettiing development. The

cording to the canning specialists of
the department. They. therefore, adj
wise those who, because of the high

of reducing the amount of fruit they
put up, TO can as much of their sur
plus as possible by the use of boil
ing water when sugar sirup is be-
yond their means. Any fruit, they
say, may be successfully sterilized
and retained IN the pack by simply
adding boiling water instead Of the
hot strip. The use of sugar. of
course, is desirable in the can
ming of all kinds OF fruits and
makes better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover. most of the
fruits when canned in water alone do
not retain their natural flavor tex
