Ney McNeely ON Torpedoed
Ship in Mediterranean Sea

Ney McNeely ON lorpedoed
Ship in Mediterranean Sea
London, Jan 1.-The British
liner Persia with 100 passengers
and a crew of ESQ to 800 was
sunk by an unidentified sub
marine at l o'clock Thursday
afternoon off the Island of Crete
in the eastern Mediterranean.
Messages received from various
sources say that nearly all on
board were lost. Robert Ney-
McNeely of Monroe, N. c.,
American Consul at Alden, and
Robert Gran: of Boston, were on
the liner.
The crew of the Persia WRIT
ally all were lascars. Four boats
are known to have got away
from the sinking vessel, each
capable of carrying 60 persons
but 1t is not known if the boats
were full.
The rescued were picked up
by a steamer bound flor Alexan-
dria, where they were expected
today.
Sixty-one first class passengers
and 80 second cabin passengers
including eight children, board
ed the Persia when she left Lon
don December Is for Bombay,
AT Marseilles the vessel picked
up 23l including 81 women and
Is children. A number of the
passengers embarking at Lon
don were landed at Gibraltar,
Marseilles and Malta. However

the Peninsular & Oriental Line.

Mr.. McNeeley sailed g
New York for England on Mo-
ember 27, on the Holland-Ame5
ican liner Ryndam.
He was on his way to talSa
his first consular post. MIR. Skin
ner advised him to sail for the
East by the Dutch Line, but the
young man already had engaged
passage on the Persia.
The Persia is the latest of
several vessels to be sunk BY
submarines in the Eastern Medi
terranean, through which her
course to the Suez Canal would
take her from Malta. On De-
cember "a the French liner Vile
de La Ciotat was sent to the
bottom off the Island of Crete
by a submarine, which according
to British unofficial advices-
flew the Austrian flag.
No advIces have been received
in New York as to the date on
which the Persia sailed from
London. She departed in adj
vance of her advertised date of
sailing, which was January Il.
The voyage from London 10
Malta ordinarily requires nine
days.
The Persia was built in 1900
at Greenock. She has been in
the Bombay service since that
time.
On account of the danger
from submarines the Mednerran.

Vane Richardson Pardoned

Monroe Enquirer.
Vane Richardson co1ored,
Hho was sentenced in superior
court in this county in January,
l9ll, to serve ten years in the
State prison, for murder in the
second degree, has been granted
La conditional pardon by Cover
nor Craig. 1t will be remember
ed that Charles Plyler, white,
and Will Funderburk, George
Mathew and Vane Richardson,
colored, were tried for the mur
der of Carter Parks, in Buford
township, in June, 1910. Plyler
was sentenced to the electric
chair but his sentence was COM
muted by Governor Kitchin to
lille imprisonment. Funderburk
was sentenced to thirty years,
Mathew to fifteen wears and
RICHARDSON to ten years in the
State prison. All except the
man just pardoned are serving
their terms. Governor Craig
gives as his reason for pardoning
Vane Richardson that the testi-
nony given by Richardson,
uader promise by the private
prosecution that he would not
have to suffer for his part in the
crime, enabled the State to con-
wet other guilty ones and that it
would have been impossible to
convict them had it not been for
the testimony given by Richard
son. Mr.. j. G. M. yann saw
Governor Craig last Thursday
ED laid the matter Of pafdion
ior Vane Richardson before
him.

Not Told of Sons Death

Monroe, Jan. 2.-The torpedo.
ing of the steamship Persia, with
the probable death of Robert
Ney McNeely, was the dominant
topic of conversation here to-
day. Mr.. McNeely's relatives,
who live in the country near
here, lave been clinging to such
shreds of hope as vague cable
dispatches left them, but alb
sence of any news whatever of
an optimistic character caused
hope to diminish to almost the
vanishing point.
Mr.. McNeelv's father, w. R.
McNeely, Confederate veteran
of about 20 wears, has kept as
closely as possible in touch with
the authorities at Washington.
The McNeely household is
dc ubly distressed. for the mother
of the missing consul sustained
a stroke of paralysis last We'd
nesday night and is almost at
the point of death. She has not
been told of the disaster that
befell the Persia.

WHAT IS uric ACID :?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM
GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in l775,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the blood
of this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
scitica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called "Anuric"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" is 81 times more
potent than lithia, and consequently
you need no longer fear muscular or
articular rheumatism or govt. or many
other diseases which are dependent on
an accumulation of uric acid within

Banking Force Changes.
,Jordan Valley Express)

AT special meeting of the board of
directors Of the Bank of Jordan Valley
held last Saturday afternoon to con-
sider the resignation of Mr.. F. R.
Miller as cashier of that institution.
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted,
We sincerely regret the resignation
OF Mr.. F. R. Miller as cashier of this
bank, occasioned by his acceptance of
similar position with the Western
National Bank of Caldwell, Ida. Tn
the retirement of Mr.. Miller we feel
that the bank has lost a valuable mem
Der of its official board and the com
munity has lost a most excellent citi-
zen."
Mr.. Harry F. Looney, who has held
the position of assistant cashier for
the last three years, was promoted to
the position of cashier, position
which. from his knowledge of the af-
fairs of the bank and the needs of its
patrons, he will doubtless fill with
credit to himself and satisfaction to
all concerned.
Graydon c, Crawford of Boise. Ida,
was appointed successor to Mr..
Looney as assistant cashier. Mr.. Craw-
ford has been in the employ of the
Boise City National Bank of Boise
Tor some time past and comes well
recommended for the responsible po-
sition he has been chosen to fill.

not be performed at the same TIME as

While the failure to vaccinate does
not necessarily mean loss of stock,
the cost and trouble of vaccination are
so slight that it is doubtful if anyone
is justified in neglecting it.

CO1gregationaIistS of United

ance of Three Hundred,n
Anniversary,

In 1929 it viii have been 800 years
since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock, and as they bowed in thankful
ness to God for having brought them
through the perils OF the deep which
they had braved that they might have
liberty Of conscience, they laid the
foundations Of "a church which has
'unfalteringly carried forward their
principles until thi. hour
on October Is the Congregational
churches Of the United states will
begin a celebration which is to reach
its climax on the 300th anniversary of
the landing Of the Mayflower. TO com
memorate the Pilgrims a mighty four
years program has been prepared,
composed Of five items, as follows:
The first To spend much time in
IAN intelligent study and setting forth
Of those political and religious CON
yictions which brought the Pilgrims
to America" and which have been
largely lost sight Of and forgotten;
and to apply them to the needs Of to-
day
The second: To make this an era
Of evangelism; to bring people TO
Christ as their Savior and Lord and
to add to the church a half million
new members
The third To double the number of
those young people in training for the
work Of ministers and missionaries
The fourth; To raise for missions
100000 yearly
The fifth TO raise a great memoir

ing Of the kingdom Of COD.
