RUSSIA NOT so TURBULENT.
Scarcely More Disorder Than in Ameri-
ca, Says Root.


Chicago. Aug 7-Elihu Root, with
other members of the American mis-
sion to Russia, while in Chicago said
that as q matter Of fact there is
scarcely more disorder in Russia
than there is in the United States.
Certain disturbances are inevitable
in a change of government so radical
as that of Russia, said Mr. Root, and
cable dispatches deal largely with
these disturbances. Hence the public
has gained an impression that there
is little going on in Russia except
demonstrations. If reports on Ameri-
can affairs disseminated in Russia
concentrated on our own little dis
turbance such as race riots, the W
w and the like. Russia would have
about the same picture of US that
we now have of them.
Il have faith in the Russian min
istry and in the Russian future as an
important element in the aims of the
Allies. Russian women are doing q
wonderful work in shaming the men
into fighting, and when it is neces-
sary hope American women will
follow their example"

The local exemption board states
that about 80 per cent of the men
summoned for examination claim ex'
emption. And about rs per cent pass

A telegram received by the board
states that persons recently married
will not be subject to exemption.
The pay of a private soldier has
been raised to $50 a month and this
is equal to a salary of about $50 to

The best information; obtaiuable
seems to be that the seven men who
are now under arrest were in an au-
tomobile coming to Greenville when
the car passed Neves. It is under
stood that the hat of one of the men
in the car blew off at this time and
fell in the road. Neves dismounted
from his horse and picked up the hat
starting towards the car with it.
What happened during the interval
while the men were with Neves in
the road could not be learned. A
shot was heard and the men re-
turned to the car and came on to
Greenyille. Neves was found few
minutes later lying in the road with
a bullet wound through his head and
his own pistol lying few feet from
him.

Baldwin:s Plight Personal.

Lake City, August 7.-Of course
the tobacco business continues the
main attraction for everybody. The
sales 20 on every day and there is no
diminution in sizes of the sales nor
in the prices secured. More than a
million pounds are sold here each
week. The Tuesdays sale was about
half million. The prices continue
good, ana average above anything
seen in recent years; prices of IS. 40
45 and so cents are not uncommon.
The sale of today, Tuesday. averaged
80 cents or more. This means that a
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
was paid out here today for tobacco.

 EASILY SOLVED

Another evidence of the patriotism of the B. P. o.
