TITANIC STRUGGLE
HAD SMALL START.
Began With Pursuit of Light Cruisers
by Germans, According to Berlin
Account.

Amsterdam (via London), June 6.
The following semi-official account
of the naval battle off Jutland has
been received here from Berlin:
"The German high seas feet had
pushed out into the North sea in the
hope of engaging portions of the Eng
lish fleet which had recently been re-
peatedly reported off the Norwegian
south coast. At 3:15 in the afternoon
small cruisers of the Calliope class
were sighted. Our cruisers at once
pursued the enemy which fled north
ward at great speed.
AT $50 our cruisers sighted two
enemy columns to the west, consisting
of six battlecruisers and great num-
ber of small cruisers.
The enemy passed towards the
south and on rships, approaching to
10 kilometers, opened very effective
fire on southern southeastern courses.
During the battle two English battle
cruisers and one destroyer were sunk.
after half an hours fighting heavy
enemy reinforcements, later observed
to be five vessels of the Queen Eliza
beth class, were sighted on the north.
Soon afterwards the German main
force entered the fight and the enemy
at once turned north.
"The British commander, driving
his ships at full speed, attempted to
evade cur extremely effective fire by
taking an echelon formation. Our
fleet followed at top speed the move
ments of the enemy.
"In the course of this period of
| fighting one cruiser of the Achille or
Shannon class and two destroyers
were sunk while number of other
vessels sugered heavy damage.
"The battle against superior forces
lasted until darkness fell. Besides nu-
merous light detachments at least 25
British battleships, six battlecruisers
and four armored cruisers engaged 16
German battleships, five battlecruis-
ers, six older ships of the line and no
armored cruisers.
"After dark our fleet opened night
attack. During this attack several
cruisers and torpedo boat engage
ments occurred resulting in the de-
struction of one battlecruiser, one
cruiser of the Achilles class, probably
two small cruisers and at least ten de-
stroyers. Six of the latter, including
the new destroyer leaders Turbulent
and Tipperary, we're destroyed by the
leading vessels of our high seas fleet.
The British squadron of older battle
ships which hurried up from the south
did not arrive until Thursday morning
after the conclusion of the battle and
returned without taking any part in
the fighting or coming within sight of
our main force"

WILLIE BETHUNE
GIVEN NEW TRIAL

The supreme court in a decision by
Chief Justice Gary yesterday granted
new trial to Willie Bethune, the
Clarendon county negro who was con-
victed six years ago on the charge
of murder and sentenced to death.
The case has been before the supreme
court on several occasions. The ne
gro lost his appeal when the case was
carried to the United States supreme
court. The new trial has been grant
ed on the ground of after discovered
evidence. Bethune is alleged to have
killed G. B. Minis, a well known white
farmer of Clarendon county.
ut is the judgment of this court
that the order be reversed and the case
remanded to the circuit court for a
new trial." concludes the opinion.

Mrs. j. H. Johnson, of No. z Char

the Seaboard Air Line Railroda, after
having received medical advice in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee
different intervals since she was
fifteen year of age to the effect that
she was suffering from liberated
stomach and gall stone, gives a vivid
illustration of what Tanlac is daily
accomplishing for like sufferers.
She had stomach trouble all her
life, was prone to fits of vomiting and
was absolutely lacking in appetite.
After taking only two doses of Tan
lac, she declares, she ate the first
food that she had eaten in sixteen
weeks.
81 suffered from stomach trouble
all my life," states Mrs. Johnson.
"When was two years old l was
given up by my physicians to die, and

my most distressing symptom was
vomiting. For sixteen weeks before |

told that | would have died for lack
of nourishment if I had not been so

l took sick, and have really lived on
superf1uous flesh for bodily nourish-
ment. My husband had given up all
hope. One evening recently remarked
how badly and emaciated l looked

said: Lucy, don't say that. Just

over three bottles of Tanlac. After
taking only two doses--now, don't

two doses l ate the first food l had

that wonderful indeed. | am now
eating nearly everything 1 want. l
have not vomited since I took my rec

for what it has gone for me. I had

who know him so intimately, ap-
preciate his qualities as a man

tions of right and duty, and with
al a citizen clean in his personal
character. These are attributes
that are Of first magnitude to be
considered in the candidacy OF
any man for public office.
But Mr.. Proctor is not without
qualifications fitting him for the

1t is the duty Of the county
engineer to view the roads ano
report to the board as to their
conditions and needs, and why
was it necessary for the county
attorney to create this new
scheme of having a committee of
five appointed to do this work !
Where is the Ethiopian in the
woodpile? Taxpayers are not
going to vote for bonds just
because the county attorney and
the supervisors want to put over
some scheme or job for their own
benefit.
The Winslow mail., 1916-04-07

Any proposed bond issue must
be free from the least taint of
suspicion if it hopes to meet with
the approval of the taxpayers.
To spring something on them
unawares, with a lot of buncombe
to give it the appearance of a
great crying need, witt a pos
sible joker hid somewhere in the
preamble and resolution, imme-
diately arouses an element of
doubt that means sure defeat at
the election. That is the trouble
with the proposed calling of the
$125, 600 alleged good roads bond
election now before the supervi-
sors. If County Attorney Jor-
dan was inspired with lofty
patriotic motives only why did
he not go before the board of
supervisors and ask that they
appoint a representative body of
men to view the roads and make
a report as to the actual needs to
put them in good condition, and
with that report before the tax
payers so they could study it
over carefully there would have
been no trouble in getting the
required number of signers re-
questing bond election, provid-
ed the report would stand a
searching investigation. Evi-
IDENTIFY such a course did not fit
into his scheme. The bond cleo
tion will now be called, and the
only people whom it will be
necessary to satisfy as to the
report of the committee that
views the roads is the three
supervisors. That the bonds
will be defeated goes without
saying, but the expense of the
election will fall on the tax
payers. an incident that causes
very little concern in the minds
of the board.

against a 15-year-old girl. The

agree it looks as though 1t was

enough to believe that the super

bond election unless the report of

deceiving themselves. This bond

for the sole purpose of calling
the election whether it was
satisfactory or not, and that is

election and the appointing of
