Raasdale to the Rescue.

Washington, July 21:-Congress-

he had launched a movement among
buyers of tobacco that he believes
will be of inestimable value to the
growers of South Carolina. Realiz-
ing a day or two ago that the men
who grew tobacco in that State have
suffered great financial loss in the
storm. he took up the matter of buy
ing the home product to the best ad-
vantage with parties in New York.
The result is that about August |
buyers will be on hand in South Car

Ragsdale that they will pay the very
highest price, which they are able to
give.

Florence, July 25:-A meeting of
the tobacco warehousemen Of the
West Pee Dee association, which en-
braces all warehouses in South Car
olina west of the Great Pee Dee riv-
er, was held in Florence recently for
the purpose of deciding upon a date
for opening the various markets in
their association and for transacting
such other business as might come
before the meeting. There was a
full attendance, nearly every market
being represented.
The tobacco situation in Eastern
Carolina was discussed and from re-
ports submitted it was found that
the crop had been greatly injured,
but to what extent the warehouse
men would not state nor even give
out an estimate.

Stem of Darlington, vice president,
and G H Pegram of Timmonsville.

Tragic Episode of the War.

Paris, July 23:-The destruction
of a German fortified work on the
Somme front was marked by a trag-
ic episode, says La Lberte. The or
der was given to destroy the fort at
whatever cost. In less than six hours
more than $500 great shells were
fired at it and the defenses gave way
one by one in a cloud of dust and
smoke. The infantrymen went for
ward and the German positions were
conquered.
French artillery officers, examining
the ruins, discovered amid a mass of
debris a Bavarian. officer with his
chest crushed and at the point of
death. At sight Of the French offic-
ers the Bavarian seemed to collect
himself, then began to speak softly.
the Frenchmen kneeling about him.
The story told by the Bavarian,
and later recounted by an artillery
officer, was to the effect that thirty
two men had occupied the work. At
ter the bombardment had continued
for a time half of the men were vic
TINS of an awful death. Two were
decapitated and of three others.n near
whom a shell exploded, not vestige
remained. The survivorscrouched at
the bottom of the subterranean shell
ters and awaited their fate.
Another terrific explosion occurred,
the men being thrown together in a
confused heap. Almost Immediately
flames shot up from the underground
cavern. There was a moment of in
describable terror, for now fire was
ravaging the work. The lieutenant
in command went mad and shouted
wildly at imaginary enemies. Then
in the sinister glare Of the flames the
officer set furiously upon his men,
killing zone after another and was
himself burned to death.
The Bavarian determined not to
die by the hand of his chief and seal
ed the ruins, clinging to slope of
the work, only to be buried under
block of stone. He died soon after
the French officers found him,in the
hospital to which they carried him.

Just how near Kingstree came to
throwing up the sponge and quitting
organized baseball for all time at
the wind-up of the first half of the
Pee Dee league series a week ago is
not, and never will be, known except
by a few ardent local fans. The
baseball situation was in a critical
stage. The eruption started several
weeks ago, when the league direct
ors met at Florence and took drastic
action against the Kingstree team,
throwing out practically all of the
games won by the team and slapping
a fine of $50 against it for violating
the rules by playing more Class c
men than were allowed. This brought
about q shake.up in the team and
the suspension of Manager Biel, it
being contended that he knew he
was playing too many Class c men.
in violation of the rules, and contin-
ued to do so after being warned.
Biel claimed, however, that he was
advised to go ahead" as other
teams were playing more class men
than the rules provided for by stip-
ulation. Anyway. Manager Biel was
released and the club underwent a
reorganization, the management of
the team was entrusted to 'Heinie"
Hewell, the efficient shortstop. The
action of the directors in throwing
out certain games had placed the To-
cal team at the bottom of the list of
competing clubs, and local interest
began to wane.
The officers of the association be-
gan an inventory Of the exchequer
and found that the funds were low,
the money subscribed had been spent
and Kingstree stood almost nowhere

cred. The team was away from
home, an overdraft was Crawling up
ward at the bank and something had
to be done.
Something was done. A few of
the citizens who put up the money
to get Kinestree into the league got
together and doubled their dona-
tions. A message was sent over the
wires to the manager to go ahead

ed it-and 1t was pressing against Miss
Lucy Morley's heart in some way so
that the organ could not functionate
properly. This accounted for the
breathless and fainting attacks she
had so often during the past weeks.
Nothing but an operation can save
her life was what the specialist had
said. OF course, Dr. Martin had
agreed with him. and had informed
Agnes of this fact.
And will 1t surely save her life?
Agnes had asked the question, her
lips twitching, but her eyes fixed upon
the physician.
sive reply. 'One can never make a
sure prosnosls. We must get the pa
tient into the hospital as soon as we
can"
And then he had explained that
which added perplexity and conster-
nation to Agnes fear and anxiety.
Miss Lucy had been informed gently
that she must go to a hospital. At
first she had cried out against it, then
begged piteously for private room.
"Of course. she could get along
without that" DIR. Martin admitted.
But. just now, when she is so weak
and nervous. we would rather humor
a room to herself would be a good
thing for her.
An Expensive Matter
In n hard voice Agnes had asked
what the room and the operation
would cost She had turned pale when
the physician named the sum.
You are getting off much more
easily than you might have dared to
hope, DR.. Martin went on. The man
who will operate usually charges three
times that amount. l explained the
position to him-how your aunt is in
moderate circumstances, that she has
not much money laid away, and that
your salary is about all she can depend
upon for running expenses.
so he cut down his price two
thirds. AS to the room--why that is a
whim of hers, as you know, and de-
cided luxury-and if you cannot afford
it, why, YOU cant that's all-and she'll
just have to submit to the conditions
II must afford it," Agnes said. How
could she refuse that which Aunt
Lucy begged for so earnestly?
We'll. that's up to YOU the physi-
clan remarked. Perhaps the patient
may not need a spscial nurse day and
night, after the first two or three days.
Anyway, If you can't help yourself,
why not plan to get your aunt in to one
of the rooms with three other patients?
They cost less. yet are more secluded
than the public wards
Twill see what | can afford
but I must think 1t over" Agnes fall
tered.
There is no time to think it over"
the man said gruffiy. she must be
in a hospital in three days. Which
shall it be-a private room or not'
Then. as Agnes still hesitated, he
added, We'll, suppose we plan for the
private room-for, of course, there is
some way you'll get the money
Yes Agnes assented desperately,
''in some way, of course, I'll get the
money"
