ENGLAND'S MANUFACTURES.
Immense Increase Even in Time Oh
War.

In spite of the five or six million
men in her army and navy, and the
huge numbers employed in such nom
productive war effort as the censor
ship and clerical work in various gov
er1fnent departments, the increase of
EngIand's manufactures, if munitions
are included, is enormous, declares
the Engineering Record. What this
increase is, it is impossible the
absence of any figures of the output
of munitions, ships, etc.-to make
even an approximate estimate. Judg-
ing, however, from the fact that the
country's exports have been fairly
we'll maintained as compared with
1913, and have even increased from
month to month since the first sharp
drop following the outbreak of the
war, it must be very great, possibly
as much as SO or rs per cent. Part
of this increase, of course, is due to
causes which will cease to operate
after the war-volunteer workers,
suspension of trade union rules for
restriction of output and sheer in
crease of nervous effort-but the
much greater part is due to improved
organization and heightened efflcien-
cy. 1t seems reasonable to believe,
therefore, that any losses of men
which England may suffer-the total
for dead, hopelessly manned, blind
ed, etc., is probably not greatly in
excess of 100000 so far (May, 1870
will be Offset by the general
strengthening of her industrial es-
tablishments through a better appli-
cation of effort, not only through
making four men do the work five
did before, but also through increas-
ing the quality as we'll as the quanti-
ty of their work, raising of the
average of skill.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Miss Bessie Bean Rescued From
Pond.

Johnston, July 21.-On Wednes-
day the Baraca class Of the Baptist
church gave a picnic at Yonce pond,
the guests being the members of the
Fidelis class, and the day came near
ending in a tragedy. During the day
the large pond proving so tempting
bathing suits were donned and many
enjoyed the cooling waters.
The bottom of the pond has many
deep places and is dangerous for
for those who cannot swim. One OF
the girls, Miss Bessie Bean, who
could not swim but was out in shall
low water, came Unexpectedly to deep
water, and being little distance
from the rest, help did not reach her
Immediately. Julian Bland, who was
on the bank, saw her sink and gave
the alarm. The nearest to her was
Wallace Turner, who swan quickly
to her rescue, and as she sank sec
ond time he dived for her. AS he
lifted her up Archie Lewis held her
above the water and the two soon
carried her to the bank. Miss Bean
received no injuries other than the
shock of the water.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK.
Important School Movement Now I'm.
der Way.

Do we Americans truly realize the
MAGNITUDE of this endeavor? asks
Carl Holiday, in the American Re-,
view of Reviews. Today there are
over s1,300,000 in these savings
banks created by the school teachers,
and more than 217,000 children are
depositors. Founded in 1878 by a
Belgian teacher, Professor Laurent,
of Client, the school banking system
was first inaugurated in America at
Long Island City by another Belgian,
John H. Thirty, and today from
Maine to California the youngsters
are depositing their pennies and lit
neys.' Generally the school keeps
the child's money until the sum Of
SO is reached, and then deposits in
the youngsters name in bank pay
ing at least 3 per cent. The amounts
deposited in the cities since the be-
gining of the system have, of course,
been large-s6O0,00O in Pittsburg,
and $25O,000 in Toledo-but in
towns like Helena and Great Falls,
Montana, and Chester, Pennsylvania,
the savings of children also show
astounding growth.

BOMB HURLS DEATH.
Four Spectators Watching Parade in
Frisco Killed.

San Francisco, July 22.-At least
four persons were killed and forty or
more injured by the explosion here
today of a timed bomb in the midst
of a throng viewing preparedness
parade.
The police arrested Frank Joseph
son, a. lodger in sailors boarding
house, who cried 81 didn't do it,
didn't do it," and trembled violently
when he was being searched at the
station house. The police said he
had not been accused of anything.
Charles NJ. Fickert, district attorney,
issued a statement attributing the
deed to mind unbalanced by argu-
ments for and against preparedness.
The parade was not interrupted.
The explosion occurred at Stuart
and Market streets, two blocks from
San Francleco's main thoroughfare.
The bomb, concealed in suit case
packed with cartridges, bullets, gas
pipe, glass and scrap iron, blew a
gap through the crowd, blasting men,
women, children and babies.
Building Wrecked.
The one-story brick building
against which the suit case stood was
wrecked.
The holiday throng, cheering a
contingent of veterans of the 1st CAL
ifornia infantry of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, became a shamble.
1.-TWO women standing beside me
were blown to bits,' said Mrs. Kins-
ley Van Loom, of Oakland, who, with
her two children was injured. The
police say it is possible that some
bodies were entirely destroyed.
All the newspaper Offices in SAN
Francisco yesterday received a COM
munication written in Roman script

words being heavily underscored.

"WE-ALL."
Criticism Answered by Southern
Writer.

Criticism are easy enough to make,
says Southern Woman's Magazine for
July, but not all of them are as easy
to answer as the one recently recelv-
ed by the Southern ,Woman's Maga-
zine, taking Helen Topping Miller to
task for letting old Aunt Tillie of the
prize story, Look Away" use the
expression "we-all." The critic con-
tends that no Southern darkey uses
"we-all" or "you-all."
In answer to this Mrs. Miller has
written a convincing letter. She
says:
81 have a dear old black nanny
who boasts that she was raised in the
blacklist patch in Alabama, and she is
my authority for the expression we

ly consists of expressions like, Miss
Helen, we-all amt got no ice,' We

pronounces it like one word, with a

ceiving this criticism I have heard
three other darkies use the same ex-
preston. AS for 'you-all,' it seems
to me that all darkies use it. I have
heard hundreds 1 know. I cannot

DEATHS FROM PARALYSIS.
Fatality Reported From Greenville
and BennettSville.

Greenville, July 19.-One death
from infantile paralysis in Green
Vile was reported today at the city
health department. This was one of
the cases that had until Tuesday
night been listed under the head of
suspected, but physicians decided
Tuesday that it was true case of
infantile paralysis, and it was so re-
ported. The patient was about four
teen months of age. The other cases
of the disease are reported getting
along nicely. No new cases were re-
ported today. So far only one other
case has been reported in the State
outside of the Greenville cases. This
is at Buffalo, in Union county. Homes
in which cases exist are quarantined
and Sunday-schools, churches and
motion picture shows have been noti-
fed to refuse to admit children. A
campaign which promises to extend
Statewide in scope was inaugurated
here for the prevention of the dis
ease.

Temporary Bridge Over Catawba.

Rock Hill, July PA large force
of workmen IS building temporary
trestle across the Catawba at Car
hartt. The space to be spanned is
quite long, and it will be some time
before trains can cross.
There is no official observer at this
bridge, but at Catawba station, about
ten miles below, where the Charles
ton divisions line crosses, and where
the trestle was also lost, ]. c. Faris
has for many years kept the record.
His figures for the crest of the flood,
which occurred Monday evening at
7:45 o'clock, is 40.4 feet. He also
reports that at Culp's island, three
miles below, negro man was drown
ed while trying to capture bale of
cotton which had come down from
above.
While not having famine by any
means, Rock Hill citizens have had
to be very economical in their use of
water for the, past week.. The rise
of the river put the pumping station
out of commission until Wednesday,
and then the intake pipe became
clogged with the unusual amount of
mud and necessitated the laying of
a temporary intake. This is now
completed, and is furnishing water
at the rate of 900 gallons per minute,
which will altogether relieve the sit
uation until the regular~pipe can be
cleared.
The total damage caused by the
flood in this section cannot now be
estimated; but it will be enormous.

FLOOD WATERS RECEDE
BRIDGE OVER WATEREE LAST
TO GO DOWN.
Great Damage Wrought to Railways.
Service Throughout the State
Crippled.

Columbia, July 20.-The Southern
railway trestle across the Wateree
river, at Kingville, was the latest vic
tim of the flood waters now pouring
into the streams in the southern Sec
ton of the State. The trestle went
out yesterday afternoon and carried
down with it several heavy cars of
material which had been run out on
the trestle in an effort to keep it
weighted down. The Coast Line tres
tie just little north of the Southern,
over the Wateree, went out yesterday
morning and all traffic to the Pee
Dee section of the State has been
blocked.
Plans for rebuilding the trestles
and repairing the tracks of the rail-
roads washed away in the storm and
flood are going forward without de-
lay. The Seaboard has a big repair
gang at work on the trestle near
Camden, and hopes to reopen their
line to the North in a few days. The
Southern has repair gangs at the
trestle above Rock Hill and at the
trestle near Belmont on the main
line. 1t is planned to reopen the
main line first and this, it is believed,
will be done in the next few days.
The Seaboard is also at work on
their trestle at Catawba Junction,
while the Coast Line is wasting no
time in making the repairs to their
trestles and track. The Southern Of
ficials believe they will be able to re-
open communication with Spartan
burg in the next day or two. 1t. ap-
pears that the trestle over the Broad
river, at Shelton, came through with
out harm. -.

Big Coast Line Trestle Goes.

Columbia, July 19.-The flood
sweeping down-State in the Wateree
river carried away the Atlantic Coast
Line trestle at Eastover this morn
ing, cutting off the remaining line
of communication between Columbia
and the North. Efforts to save the
trestle. were unsuccessful. Coal cars
loaded with sand and other heavy
ballast were run out on the trestle
in an effort to keep it from giving
way, but the mighty waters, using
the debris of wrecked trestles and
driftwood from upstate, hurled the
mighty structure from it's raoorings
and it went down, adding it's total to
the toll already exacted in fearful
amount by the angry waters.
Following the washing out of the
long Seaboard Air Line trestle across
the Wateree at Camden yesterday
came the destruction of the county
bridge across the river just short
distance below the railroad trestle.
This structure surrendered to the
tide last night just before midnight,
and the impression here is that it
was the heavy battering force of the
Seaboard trestle and the county
bridge at Camden which finally
brought victory for the waters of the
Wateree over the Atlantic Coast Line
trestle at Wateree, just below East
over.

KILLING OF COL. BUTLER.
Hotel Man Who Killed His Wife and
Officer Refuses to Talk.

Alpine, Texas, July 21.-Mystery
surrounds the motive of Harry ].
SPANIEL, manager of a local hotel,
for shooting and killing his wife and
Lieut.. Col. NJ. C. Butler, of the 9Th
United States cavalry, while the three
were motoring yesterday evening.
According to an announcement
from the county attorney tonight,
SPANIEL, VII. surrendered himself
Immediately after the shooting, re-
fused to discuss his case and thor
ough investigation disclosed no ap-
parent reason for the killing.
The shooting caused much excite
ment because of the prominence of
the SPANIEL family and of Col. But
Ter. SPANIEL, who was held over
night in the county Jail, was taken
today to another town, the name of
which was not revealed, for safe
keeping.
An Investigation by local authori-
ties disclosed that SPANIEL was driv-
ing his wife and Col. Butler in his
car along the main residential street
of the town when suddenly he stop
ped his engine, turned in his seat,
drew an automatic pistol and a re-
volver, and with the one began
shooting Col. Butler and with the
other his wife.
He calmly emptied both firearms
into the bodies of the victims, &C
cording to witnesses, and then with
out haste walked to the court house
and gave himself up.
Apparently Col. Butler was shot
first and killed instantly, for persons
nearby heard the woman cry out af-
ter the shooting had begun, Harry,
don't kill me-" while the officer made
no outcry.>
Previous to the shooting, SPANIEL
had been chatting gaily with friends
at the Holland hotel, of which he WEE
manager.
Col. Butler only recently was pro-
noted from the rank of major and
had been stationed here in command
of the garrison for about two months
and had become popular with the
townspeople. He lived at the Hol-
land hotel and he and his wife and
nine-year-old son were on intimate
terms socially with Mr.. and Mrs.
Mrs. SPANIEL and their five-year-old
daughter.
Before being taken away from the
local jail, SPANIEL broke down and
sobbed bitterly, bemoaning what he
termed his madness" -" He persist
ed, however, in his refusal to dis
cuss his reasons for the shooting.
SPANIEL, who is thirty years old,
is native of Hazellton, Pa, where
his parents still live. A graduate OF
musical Conservatives in this cour,
try and abroad, he was an instructor
in music at Baylor University, at
Waco, Texas, when he met the
daughter of John R. Holland, a cat
tleman and banker, of Alpine, whom
he later married. Mrs. SPANIEL was
then student in the university. She
was twenty-nine years old and was
known as one of the most beautiful
women in Texas.
Col. Butler was fifty-two years old
and a native of Edgefeld, S. C.. He
was son of Major Gen. Mathew c.
Butler, U. S. A., who was also a
major general in the. Confederate
army and for a number of years was
United States senator from South
Carolina.
