saturdays Daily.)

Exceeding probably any former re-
cord, there were shipped from Column
bia over the two railroads during the
first seven days of the year, nearly
1000 head of horses and mules. The
value of the live stock shipments dur
ing this first week of the New Year
aggregated almost 100000, which
equals, if it does not exceed the value
of such shipments during any former
period in the history Of the railroads.
There were thirty-four car loads OF
horses and mules shipped, or for six
business days, practically all of them
going out after Monday. These cars
averaged twenty-eight head to the
car, making the total of the ship.
ments 952 head. In addition to the
mules shipped, for there were only a
few horses in the lot, there were four
car loads of dairy cattle worth about
81, 500 to the car Adding to these
the other live stock shipped out and
the total value will not be far from
the figures given.
The value of the mules shipped
from Columbia during the week
would probably average close to 5000,
making the total for the thirty-four
cars in the neighborhood of $4,000.
To this should be added $4,000 for
dairy cattle.
The nearest approach to this re-
cord was made during the first nine
days of 1918, following the wonderful
mule day on the first Monday of that
year when there were $50 horses and
mules to go from the local station.
These figures prove that The Her
AIDS estimate on Tuesday of 1000
mules sold here on the first Monday
was exceedingly conservative, and
was below the mark Mule dealers in
the city are of the opinion that not
more than two thirds of the mules
sold here during the week we're ship
ped away. According to these esti-
mates the total sales would reach
close to 1900 head for the week be-
ginning on Monday and it is safe to
say that four-fifths of the sales were
made on that date.
On the basis of these figures the
mule business in Columbia for the
week would approximate a quarter of
million dollars in value and sets a
new record.

The French liner La Touraine, which
sailed from Bordeaux Dec. 26, also

velocity of about 80 miles an hour,
and La Touraine was forced to heave

RUSSIA IkFL|CTS
TERRIFIC BLOW ON
TEU!ON|C FORCES
FOUR HUNDRED GUNS PLAY ON
czERNoWITz FOR FIFTY
HOURS.
PREPARE FOR INFANTRY ATTACK
Not Clear Whether or Not This Move
ment is the Beginning of a General
Offensive or Not-May Be Simply a
Diversion

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Some idea o.
the determined nature of the Rus
sian blow on the Bessarabian front If
conveyed by Petrograd dispatches to-
day, which state that the Russians
for fifty hours concentrated four hun
bred guns on the Austrian's position
at Czernowitz as a preparation for an
infantry attack. The Russian com
munications do not yet claim that
Czernowitz has fallen, but dispatches
from German forces admit the Teu-
tonic position there is critical.
1t is not yet clear whether the Rus
sian operations in this theatre herald
a big general offensive movement OF
all the Russian armies from the Bal
tic to the Rumanian border, or mere
ly indicate a diversion Of unparallel-
ed magnitude and fierceness, desig-
mated to weaken the pressure of the
central powers in the Balkans and in
cidentally on the Italian front. The
fighting has been of the most bitter
character, according to both the Aus
trian and Russian reports. Few pris-
oners are being taken, and the infan-
try engagements are largely in the
nature of hand to hand encounters.
All the Russian operations thus far
revealed are being pressed along the
railway lines, which simplify the
problems Of the winter supply of
food, ammunition and fuel.
The situation along other fronts
is comparatively quiet.
The loss of British submarine by
mischance of navigation off the
Dutch coast makes total of eleven
British submarines lost since the be.
ginning of the war. A majority of
these, however, have been of the
smaller types.
In connection with the submarine
activity in the Mediterranean sea, an
Athens dispatch notes that alarm is
felt owing to the fast that none of
the nine ships laden with grain pur-
chased in America, has arrived or
been sighted

BUYING Pixies MAY
AGAIN COME BEFORE
JUSTICES ON MONDAY
PROBABLE THAT ISSUE WILL BE
PRESENTED TO THE
COURT.
NUMBER CONFERENCES ARE HELD
Supporters of the Movement Have
BY No Means Abandoned the Ef-
fort to Free Maury County from the
Toll Gate Incubus.

1t is not improbable that the ques-
ton of buying the turnpikes of the
county will again be brought to the
attention Of the county court at its
meeting here on Monday. During
the past two or three weeks several
of the advocates of the purchase Of
the pixies have been in conference
with members of the court who are
friendly to the movement and it is
not improbable that as the result
some plan will be presented Mon
day looking to the resumption of
negotiations with the owners of the
highways.
Prominent citizens of the county
who are interested in the movement
declare that it will not do now to
abandon the movement, especially
after good start has been made by
the acquisition Of two of the full
roads Of the county. Several who
have been prominent in the confer
ences held recently have stated that
they would rather pay additional
taxes than have the county continue
behind the march of progress in the
matter of public roads.
1t is known that the movement in
the county court is stronger now than
1t has been, some of the justices who
did not look with favor upon the
purchase Of the pixies at first having
stated to supporters of free roads
that they would hold different at
tiude when he matter is again pre-
scented.
There Is really only one bar to the
purchase of the pixies and that is the
difficulty of reaching an agreement
with the owners as to the price.
Friends of the project state, how.
ever, that hey believe that If nego-

RUSH TO MARKET
MAY BREAK PRICE
LITTLE BROUGHT OVER
Present Quotations Are Bringing
Staple Out-Receipts Are
Increasing Rapidly.

The cotton market has opened
with brisk trade throughout the
State, the sharp advance in prices
causing rapid rush OF all available
cotton to the platform Columbia
buyers believe producers will con
tinue to sell just so long as the pres
ent scale of prices prevail. Prices paiG
over the State yesterday, according
to quotations OF one of the lage pur-
chasing Offices in Columbia, ranged
from 14-1-2 to IA "a cents.
Another observation Of the buyers
was that the farmers, in their zeal to
take advantage Of the bullish mar
ket, will jeopardize the possibility or
sharp advances in the immediate flu
ture. Those who expressed an
opinion were in accord with the mar
ket would break decidedly should re-
ceipts continue to increase in volume
as present trading indicates. With
a crop two millions or more bales be-
low that Of last year and a greatly
reduced surplus brought over, the
buyers were emephatic in their
claims that farmeres could command
much higher prices IL early selling
could be held in check.
]. Sumter Moore, who deals ex-
clusively in long staple. says he ex-
pects no more than half crop of this
fine quality cotton this season. Long
staple is grown exclusively in the
Pee Dee, that portion of the State
which suffered severely from the
long sustained rainfall two months
ago. The first offerings are now be-
ing purchased at 20 to % 1-2 cents
