Berlin Advices Say Submarine Toll

London, May 9.---Rcuter's Amster-

The Reichstag has begun its sec
ond reading Of the navy budget. DR..
Pfclgcr, naval reporter OF the bud
get committee, declared that the sub
marine booty for April would not be
less than 100000 tons and added
that the Reichstag looked forward to
the activity by the German navy with
a confident hope Of speedy and VIC
torious peace. Vice Admiral Won
Capelle, minister Of the navy, who
followed DR.. Pfclger, sad:

boats, a trained personnel, fuel and

Is the number Of U-boats continually
increasing, but the boats are always
improving in quality; they are always
better types and of greater efficiency.
Officers and men are crowding for

| ''Oi course, losses also occur. Our
enemies defenses are increasing in
quantity and quality, but there is no
radical remedy against U-boats.
In England it was said, we must
smoke out the bases; that is the sole
means Of mastering the U-boat. Let
them but come and try; they will
bite granite.
"A decisive factor is the continu-

Our losses are small beyond cxpecta-

Three months war experience is
Of more value than three years peace

equal to all demands. We expected
an average monthly U-boat booty Of
about 100000 tons; actually the re-
suit for three months totals $780,
600 tons. This is 55 per cent above

Georgia Deputy Killed.

Thomasville, Ca, May 9.-As the
result OF an attempt by Sheriff Rhe-
berg and Deputy Sheriff Johnson to
raid moonshine still about five miles
from Thomasville last night, Johnson
is dead, j. w. Williams is in Jail and
his son, Preston Williams, is at the
city hospital dangerously wounded.
The sheriff had been notified that
still was operated on the place
where Williams lived. and in trying
to find it the officers were shot at
from ambush. Williams and his son
were afterwards arrested, the son
having been badly wounded by the
officers return fire.
Evidence before the coroner's Jury
to-day cast strong suspicion on Pres
ton Williams as the man who shot
Johnson, though the shots seemed to
come from two directions. Further
investigation is being made into the
case.
The still and its contents have been
brought to town and others thought
to be implicated in the matter are in
custody.
Johnson leaves a wife and several
children. The killing has created
much excitement and indignation.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS.
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or tnllus SO 1t Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lock jaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use a drug called freezone,
which the moment a few drops are
applied to any corn or callus the
soreness Is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
of with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle OF frecZOne will
cost very little at any OF the drug
stores. but will positively rid ones
feet Of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. II your druggist

War notwithstanding,
{ Henderson Mail.


The newest form of war bread was
shown at the Daily Mail office recent
ly by J. r. Vandiver, who brought
samples and showed how the bread
could be produced at a cost less than
half that Of white wheat bread.
The secret is--cotton seed meal
mixed with -four. The meal was
bolted and mixed with an equal part
of wheat -four. This makes a very
edible and palatable form of bread.
Ginger bread, made with this meal,
-four and molasses, with little gin
ger, resembles the original very close
ly and tastes good. The biscuits
brought the Daily Mail taste good.
They are dark brown in color. not
unlike the graham bread. and taste
like ordinary bread
Mr.. Vandiver said that the -four
was made from fresh cotton seed
meal and that -four Of this kind. can
he made for Sc per barrel, while
white -four costs around $14.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION
Will he Held this Year at the Capt.
tai OF Our Nation.

Every old veteran should go. This
casion OF the kind ever held. If you
do not go now you may never go; If
you have never seen the Capital Of
| this great country OF ours. this is
prettiest, cleanest city in the United
States, if not in the world; you will
have the pleasure Of seeing the Pres
ident Of this nation-the greatest
to my thinking. Then, too, you can
see the historic Potomac, along
whose banks two great armies strug-
gled for mastery for four years.
Crossing this river you can visit
Mount Vernon and Arlington, the
homes Of Washington and Lee. In
fact, your eyes will grow dim look
ing at so many wonderful things that
you have never thought of. And you
will see hundreds, and maybe thou
sands, Of the Grand Army Of the
Republics! They have contributed
largely to this reunion. So come on
and let's go. They are all tame now;
they won't hurt you. | found out
that when I attended the great peace
celebration at Gettysburg. Sixty
thousand Of the Gray and Blue met
on the hallowed ground Of Gettys-
burg-consecrated by the blood Of
the Blue and the Gray, under the
American flag-to do honor to the
soldiers still living and to pay low
ing homage to those who are at rest
in the stiffness of their slumbers.
Neither stress of time nor dist
ance of home shall break or blur that
friendship that our brothers sealed
there with their blood! That meet
ing did more to bring about better
feeling between the North and South
than any other thing could have
done. l told them all that it was an
old-time Methodist love feast. And
this meeting at the Capital Of the
Nation, weaving together the Stars
and Stripes and the Stars and Bars
that Of itself is worth going to see.
The scalping knife and tomahawk
have been buried in the rough sands
Of the sea. OF course there may be
a few trough necks" on both sides.
I met one Of that kind not long ago.
But the North and South are nearer
together to-day than they have been
since the days of John c. Calhoun.
Yes, we had hot time with the
"boys in blue" for while, but time
is a great healer. So let us all go
one more time; and when you get
back you will tell the old lady and
the children that you are glad that
you made the trip; and you can say
that once more you saw the Blue and
the Gray meet, bearing the olive
branch Of peace.
Each fought for his own precious
cause,
Each to his standard true
Let them be praised, those gallant
What if in Gray or in the Blue.

STATE pEN1TENTIARY MATTERS.
Chair Factory Will he ReIlabilitated.
1seformatoIy Work.
(The State, 10th.)

Crhe State, 10th.)
Manufacture Of chairs and kindred
articles Of furniture will be under
taken by the State penitentiary imme-
diately. The board Of directors, at
their regular monthly meeting yes
terday, entered into five-year con-
tract with Charles Irion, of Frank
fort, KY, and the plant should be in
operation within so days
The proposed step Is not relapsing
to the contract lease system in pro-
viding employment for the convicts.
The penitentiary will furnish the raw
material, the labor, which will be
under the immediate and absolute
control Of the penitentiary officials,
and the building. The penitentiary
will also have charge of the funds
derived from the sale of the furni-
ture. The contractor will provide
the machinery and will sell the pro-
duct. The building that housed for
mer chair factory, operation Of
which was suspended upon the out
break Of the European war, will be
occupied by the new enterprise.
Foremen are to be employed by the
penitentiary to instruct the prisoners
in the work. Guards will enforce dis
cipline as in other departments.
Reject Graham PROPOSAL.
Proposal to release prisoners was
made simultaneously by j. M. Gra-
ham, who formerly operated the hos
Trey mill at the penitentiary. Mr.
Graham's plan was to employ the
convicts in the manufacture of over
alls, shirts and MATTRESSES. This plan
was rejected by the board.
A. K. Saunders, superintendent of
the penitentiary, has had under seri-
Gus advisement the idea of introduce
ing some form of industrial work for
the prisoners since his election last
January, and yesterdays elimination
was to him very gratifying. "lt
| means not only the employment of
the prisoners in a very useful way"
he said. "It will also teach the men
| a profitable trade, which should help
materially to make them useful citi-
zens upon the expiration of their
sentences"
Reformatory Discussed.
The State board of charities and
corrections also met with the peni-
tentiary board. A joint conference
was held relative to the reformatory
for negroes in Lexington county.
Both boards expressed themselves as
being strongly in favor of making the
State reformatory for negro boys re-
ally a reformatory. That it was
anything but a reformatory was
clearly emphasized and determina-
ton to make it helpful factor in re-
claiming the negro boys sent to it was
expressed.

PYTHIAN GRAND LODGE SESSION
Cut to One Day to Save Funds of the
Order.
(The State, 9th.)

~ d HicSliHS VI Ilic NIaHu IIou6c
oflcers, Knights of Pythias, and seve-
raj Past Grand Chancellors, held yes
terday in the Office Of A. NJ. Lumpkin,
Grand Chancellor, in Columbia. it
Lodge convention appointed to be
held May 22d in Union.
This conclusion was arrived at for
several reasons, one OF which was
that under the Grand Lodge Of South
Carolina constitution II is provided:
"Article 4, Section 6--The regular
conventions Of this Grand Lodge
shall be held annually on the fourth
Tuesday in May in each year at 10
O'Clock a. m, at such place as may
have been delegated ut the regular
preceding convention"
No Authority 20 Annul.
Under this paragraph of the Grand
Lodge constitution it was decided by
the Grand Chancellor and Grand
Lodge officers in attendance upon the
meeting yesterday that there was no
authority of law for calling OFF the
Grand Lodge convention, and it was
beyond the power Of the Grand Chan
ccllor to do anything in this regard.
Tho meeting will, therefore, be
held May 22d In Union as ordered by
the last Grand Lodge convention.
Although number Of letters had
been received from various members
OF the Grand Lodge throughout the
state suggesting the calling off Of the
convention, 1t was decided that 1t
would. be impossible to do so under
the law.
Early yesterday Grand Chancellor
Lumpkin sent out number Of tele-
grams to leading Pythians through
out the State, asking for their views.
and the great majority Of answers re-
ceived were In favor Of complying
with the law and not attempting to
deviate from 1t in calling off the con-
vention.
Saving Was Suggested.
1t was the consensus Of opinion Of
those Mt the meeting yesterday that
although a large amount Of money
probably 2,000-could be saved by
not holding the convention, it was
necessary to hold it to comply with
the law.
It is also the belief of the Grand
Chancellor that this meeting Of the
Grand Lodge can be made into q
