KILL MEN AND WOMEN
Massacred in North Sea Battle
by the Germans.
Norwegian Papers Tell OF Attacks on
Llfeboats and Firing on
White Flags.

London.-An appalling story Of cold
blooded massacres by Germans of the
crews of British North sea conveys in
recent battle is told by the Norwe-
gian papers.
The Tidenstegn said the German
cruisers were observed at six o'clock
in the morning and were thought to be
British vessels, but at seven o'clock,
when there was more light, they sud-.
denly began shooting and the convoy
was terrified to see the British de-
stroyer at the stern of the convoy be-
gin to sink, although 1t fought to the
end.
The German cruisers, after signaling
the vessels to stop, advanced on each
side of the convoy, which they swept
with all their guns at range of less
than two hundred yards.
The German destroyers came up and
helped to spread death and destruc-
ton on the defenseless ships, shells
falling thick and fast. The Germans
were not content to sink the ships, but
shelled the lifeboats, and every living
thing coming their way was merci-
lessly slaughtered. The survivors
owed their lives to the high sea which
was running, making the boats a diff
cult mark.
In the midst of the massacre. an
other British destroyer came up and
Immediately attacked, but was soon
sunk in the unequal struggle. The Ger
man fotilla then cruised backward and
forward along the sinking steamers,
pouring fresh and terrible rain of
shells at range of 100 yards.
One shell went through the Swedish
ship Wirndar, exploding In the life
boat ON the other side and killing all
its occupants, fourteen men and three
women.
The other lifeboat rowed back to
rescue the captain and two mattresses
from the, wreck. A shell struck the
boat and killed five of the occupants,
only the mate escaping by swimming.
The Wirndar was mass Of flames
and the two girls jumped into the sea.
The captain was saved by clinging to
wreckage. As the two young women
were sinking an English ship hoisted
the white flag.
The answer of the Germans was a
shot which killed both girls. Twelve
men of another ship had just got into
the lifeboat when a shell killed them
all.

NEW TYPHOID SERUM FOUND
Entente Forces In salonikl Virtually
Free of Disease, Say Health
Authorities.

London.-It is announced that the
health and sanitary condition of the
entente forces in Saloniki are better
than ever before. There is no cpl
demic, no plaques and no typhoid.
In the suppression of typhoid use
has been made of a new serum based
on oil, which has given very satisfac-
tory results. A French army report
estimates that for the whole French
army the average number of typhoid
cases has been reduced to less than
thirty.

URGED To- SAVE
BEANS AND PEAS
FOR PLANTING
EXPERTS OF THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRlcUL-
TURE TELL PEOPLE.
SAVE SEED FOR NEXT YEAR
The Department OF Agriculture IL
Laying Stress Upon the Necessity
OF Providing Adequate Seed Supply
For Next Year.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-"Don't for
get to save beans and peas out of
your surplus for the planting next
spring is the advice which seed ex-
perts of the U. s. Department of Ag-
riculture are sending to home garden
ers and market gardeners in Tennes-
see.
Many market gardeners have
beans or peas which they find it un-
profitable to consume or to sell in the
green state at the present time," de.
clared Department expert today.
They want to use the ground for
later planting and there is tempta-
ton to pillow under the whole crop.
This, however, should not be done.
1t is better to save the crop, provid-
I'd the stock is satisfactory, as it can
be used for se:d next year. Beans or
peas in quantities beyond what is
needed for seed can be used for food"
1t is not difficult to handle and cure
the vines and pods of both beans and
peas. After the seed have reached
the full size and before the vines and
pods are ripe and dry, the vines should
be cut with scythe or sickle, or
pulled by hand. They can be cured
by merely spreading on the ground
until well wilted. If the crop is large,
the vines should be stacked on ground
covered with rails or brush and tied
against stakes driven in at intervals
a few inches apart. After the beans
and peas are dried they can be
threshed and the seed recovered.
In the emergency campaign for the
conservation of perishable fruits and
vegetables, the Department of Agri-
culture is laying stress upon the me-
cessity of providing for an adequate
vegetables seed supply for the 1918
planting season.

Deals Closed by r. e. Haynes and

The big real estate agency OF the

fall campaign under the most fiatter-
ing circumstances. T. N. Figuers, the
head of the business, has started his
advertising campaign throughout the
entire state, using the large city pa

and the results are meeting his very
highest expectations. He Is getting
heavy mail with every delivery in the

this way, but his Offices are the bus.
lest places in Columbia. With the
large force he now has, every one
was out on mission Monday and
Tuesday, and it becomes necessary to
press in an outsider to show another
farm here in the county.
There is a reason for this. 1t is
the fact that the people Of the Middle
section of the state realize that Maury
county has just succeeded in landing
the biggest thing in its history, the
location for the Middle Tennessee Elk.

The two deals closed this week
were made by r. E. Haynes, new
member of the firm, and Miss Louise
P. Shuneman, who for the past four
or five years has been Mr.. Figuers'
able assistant in his Office work.
Mr.. Haynes has just returned from
Greenwood, Miss, where he sold .
half section of Mississippi land to C.
L. Hughes, of Nashville. Mr.. Hughes
has for the past twenty years been
connected with the United States
mail service and has decided he want.
ed to invest in farm. The land pur-
chased by Mr.. Hughes is rich and will
produce on an average of a bale of
cotton to the acre. At the price paid,
$4,000, it is considered very cheap.

OVER f Ul HUNDRED
MORE TO Be DRAWN
BEFORE THE BOARD
FIRST WILL BE SUMMONED TO
APPEAR ON FRIDAY, OF
NEXT WEEK.
OTHERS SATURDAY and MONDA,
This Will Run the Order Numbers in
The County Up to 1886, As Above
That Number Would Not Be Called
At this Period.

About four hundred and fifty men
will be summoned for examination
before the county exemption board
next week. While the board has not
officially agreed upon the exact mum.
Der of the days on which they will
be summoned it is pretty certain
that $50 will be the number and that
they will be summoned for next Fri.
day, Saturday and the following
Monday, an equal number to be sum
moned for each day.
The first batch of probably $50
will be summoned for Friday, August
II, an equal number for Saturday,
August Is, and the same number for
Monday, August 20. 1t is believed
that this will be amply sufficient to
obtain the number necessary to meet
the requirements of the first draft
of 1913 men in Maury county. In
fact the number, it is believed who
will be obtained from these will be
more than enough, but the board does
not care to make another draft at
this time. To do so would cause de-
lay.
The $50 summoned will be those
who were drawn in sequence next
after the first 1856 drawn in this
county. In other words if this num-
Der are summoned the last number in
order to be summoned will be $685.
No order number (not serial number)
over that will be drawn.
It has been found from experience
that the board can easily examine
and dispose of $50 men in a day,
hence that number for each of the
days on which they will be sum-
moned

Says a Cincinnati Authority.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

for corns will never again send cleo
trio sparks of pain through you ac-

He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn, instantly believes
soreness, and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts out without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the
corn without inflaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce obtained at any drug store will
cost very little but is sufficient to re-

MACON FREIGHT YARDS
CONSOLIDATED TO "SPEED
UP" FREIGHT MOVEMENT

MACON, Ga, April 26.-Moyement of
freight between Florida and Cuba and
Atlanta Birmingham, Chattanooga,
Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis and
the west, over the Southern Railway
system in connection with the Georgia
Southern & Florida railway, will be
greatly facilitated by the establish
ment of joint yard operation at Macon,
where separate yards have been MAIN
tanned heretofore.
All freight trains of both lines will
now use the Southern's new classified
ton yard at South Macon, and from
two to three hours will be saved on
through trains due to the elimination
of double inspection and the back-haul
o. over a mile between yards, formerly
performed by switch engines.
Freight to and from Florida and
Cuba is handled through the Cincinnati
and Louisville gateways by Southern
Railway system through trains, via
Chattanooga and through the st. Louis
gateway by the Southern Railway sys-
tenn and the Georgia Southern & Flor
ida, south of Birmingham, and the Mo-
bile & Ohio railroad between Birming-
ham and st. Louis.
