pany, and spread to the adioin.
ing buildings. Teal-Jones
CO, B. G. Moore's furniture
store and Miss SaIIie Chapman's
residence were destroyed.
Nothing was saved from the
drug store. and very little from
Teal, Jones Company and B. G.
Moore's store. Most OF the con-
tents of the dwelling were
saved.
The two brick store rooms
occupied by the drug store and

TO Messrs. ]. T. Funderburk and
L. P. Mangum, and were insured
for $1,000 each.

thousand dollars. There was
$7,S75 insurance.

ture was complete loss as
there was no insurance on
stock nor building. Mr.. G. Nj.

worth of groceries in this build
ing, and there was no in

American Transport Sunk With
Seventy Lives Lost.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The
American army transport An.
titles, homeward bound under
convoy. was torpedoed and sunk
by a German submarine in the
war zone on Wednesday. About
70 fhen are missing and prob
ably lost.
The army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master
were among the 167 survivors.
The missing are members of
the crew, three civilian engi
neers, some enlisted men OF the
navy and l6 of 33 soldiers re-
turning home for various rea
sons. Neither the submarine
nor the torpedo was seen and
the transport, hit squarely amid :
ships, sank in five minutes.
This tragedy of the sea, the
11rSt IN which an American ship
engaged in war duty has been
lost, is the first of its magnitude
to bring home to the people of
the United States the rlgors of
the war in which they have en-
gagged against Germany. II
carries the largest casualty list
of the war SO far of American
lives and marks the first success
OF German submarine attacks on
American transports.
That the loss OF life was not
greater is due to the safeguards
with which the navy has sur
rounded the transport service
and the quick rescue work OF
the conveying warships.

band joined the Confederate
army in 1862 and left his wife
with no means of support.
There were at that time three
children to feed and care for.
Mrs. Walters went to work.
Other women called on the
Government for aid. She did
not. She hired a mule, rented
some land, plowed. planted and
cultivated it and gathered the
crops. Every year during the
war she made a good crop and
when her husband returned in
the spring of 1865 he found
more at home to live upon than
was there when he left. There
was plenty of corn in the crib,
meat in the Smokehouse, a
number of fat chickens in the
yard, and a crop had been start
ed bv the hands of the faithful
wife. Mrs. Walters carried
corn to mill three miles from
heFhome. She put the corn IN
a bag, putIt on her head, took
her baby on one arm and with
her free hand led the child next
to the baby, while the oldest
trudged at her heels. 1t was a
hard life, but Mrs. Walters lived
it cheerfully and bravely and it
is her proud boast that not once
did she go 10 a Government
commissary and ask for aid.
