old fellow who never smiles. He has
long nose and a big chin; he dresses
all in black-a very 'jew-bird' in APP
pearance, from what hear. His name

of Teneriffe."
Esteban covertly appraised his sis
ter's charms, but respecting her terror
of Cobo he did not speak his thoughts.
He was certain, however, that Rosa
knew, as we'll as he, what motive lay
behind the fellows tireless persecu-
lions of the valley dwellers; for, in
spite of their isolation, stories of Cobo
had reached the refugees-stories that
had rendered both the boy and the girl
| sick with apprehension. The colonel,
it seemed, had nearly died of his
machete wound, and on recovering he
had sworn to exterminate the wasps
that had stung him. He had sworn
other oaths too, oaths that robbed Es
teban of his sleep.
Esteban idolized his sister; her 10y
atty to him was the most precious thing
of his life. Therefore, the thought of
that swarthy ruffian hunting her down
as hound hangs to the trail of a doe
awoke in him a terrible anger. Sec
ond only to his hatred for the guerrilla
chief was his bitterness against the
traitor, Pancho Cueto, who had capped
his villainy by setting this new peril
upon them; and since Rosa's safety

how he would effect it. 1t was, Of
course, a difficult matter to get at the
colonel of volunteers, but Cueto still
lived in the midst of his blackened
fields, and it was against him that the
boy was now planning to launch his
first blow.
The thought of the hated Cobo had
momentarily distracted Estebans
thoughts. Now he collected them and
said:

as follows:

Poor Mr.. McAdOO.

Poor Mr.. McAdoo!
Think OF the jobs he's hitched up to;
The Treasury. the railroad crew,
The income tax, and then a few,
Each week they hand him some
thing new
So tax his time and temper too.
He has to know when loans are due,
What source to get his billion s
through.
What fund to pass each dollar to,
Which tax is what and who is who !:
What bonds to sell and what renew.
Which trust" to coax and which to
sue.
He stretches out each day to two
To do the things he has to do.
The job would founder me or youa
But it's a cinch for McAdoo!

HOW THE BOYS FEEL
UNDER SHELL FIRE.
Few Soldiers Pretended That They
Like 1t.

Somewhere in France, Sept. %
What does it feel like to be she'll
ed or bombed" is a question which
many people at home ask of Amer
lean soldiers in their letters.
Bombing has one marked differ
ence from shell fire. When a bomb
has exploded, a soldier can be fairly
when a shell explodes the first shell
pressages many successors. Shells,
like troubles, never come singly.
Few soldiers try to pretend that
they like shelling or even that they
are Indifferent to it. Many Of them
admit that nothing makes them more
nervous than desultory she'll fire.
They may try to appear apathetic-
they generally light a cigarette but
it is altogether a poor performance.
The absurd part of it is that the
slightest cover makes the soldier
quite himself again. 1t is the in
stinct of the ostrich. 1t is almost
to see what shelters men
will run to If shell comes their
way. Long grass even creates the IL
lusion of safety.
Many soldiers admit that they are
at their bravest when in bed. They
put their heads under the blankets
and feel as safe as in deep cellar.
in the road they would feel
quite unsafe. although actually there
is little to choose between the two
places.

BRITISH SEAPLANE DE-
STROYS HUN SHIP.
Graphic Description of the Great
Work Of English Flyer.

A British Naval Air Force Base in
England, Sept. 21-The destruction
of German destroyer by a British
seaplane is graphically told by Cap.
tain Paul Bowsher, who observed the
unusual occurance from the cock pit
of fast British bombing plane.
He was flying off the Belgium
coast when he saw two British ma
chimes in front Of him.
Suddenly" he writes, the front
machine turned to the right and be-
gan to fly toward the coast. Its
occupants had evidently seen some
thing of Importance. Looking below,
1 saw a few miles from the Zeebrugge
mole. six little shapes which seemed
stationary on the grey sea.
They were German destroyers
which were in reality steaming at
top speed towards the coast. Grad
ually the seaplanes drew nearer and
nearer and soon were but a few
miles from the land.
Near the front machine appeared
a small black ball of smoke. Anoth-
er appeared and another. and 1
could hear the sharp crack of burst
ing shells.
Now, however they were almost
over the destroyers, which were be-
ginning to zigzag as the danger Of
the coming attack was realized.
Il saw six black cylinders drop
spinning from the front machine.
Near the destroyers appeared the
white smoke and spray of bomb.
Another followed and another. Then
on one of the destroyers a great red
flash appeared and the center Of the
boat was left clouded in smoke. Its
attacker had scored one direct hit.
II shouted excitedly to the pilot as
one of the destroyers dropped out
OF line and made swiftly for its NOR
tality wounded consort.
"The airplane returned to report.
A patrol returning few hours later
stated that they had seen five Ger
man destroyers returning toward Os-
tend. BY then, the sixth, torn and
shattered, lay with many another
twisted and rusted companion, under
the sea-"

FOUR ARE KILLED AS
TRAIN STRIKES AUTO.

Greenville, N. c., Sept. 21-Wil-
Wheeler, Seth Corbett. Miss Lizzie
Corbett, of Waltonsburg. and Miss
Maude Sawyer, Of Camden county,
were killed about a mile west of this
city late yesterday when an automo-
bile in which they were riding was
struck by a Norfolk Southern pas
singer train. The accident occurred at
a crossing during a rainstorm and
it is thought the driver failed to see
the approaching train. Miss Ruby
Burch. Of Walstonburg, the only
surviving member Of the party. was
seriously injured but physicians say
she will recover.
Miss Corbett and her brother were
students at the Winterville high
school of which Miss Sawyer was
music teacher. They were enroute to
Walstonburg to spend the week end.

These workers, whatever may be their
inclination to enter military service,
should stand ready to serve in any
capacity in which they can contri-
butte most toward a speedy ending Of
the war. In order that this may be
done frank statement should, in
each case. be made to the boards. 1t
is believed that it will frequently re-
quire as much courage on the part of
many men to remain in their civilian
occupations as to waise deferment.
This effort to keep men in industry
rather than to send them to the camps
and the trenches, should not be abus-
ed so as to permit the Stacker to
escape military duty. The necessities
for raising an army are paramont.
Every man that can be spared will be
needed and needed badly to bring the
enemy to his senses. The adviser
should be assisted in every possible
way by every legitimate agricultural
interest to find the men that can be
spared for military duty. but also to
keep those that are essential to the
of q proper food sup
ply.

DOUBLE SUICIDE
IN AIKEN COUNTY.
Soldier and Wife Garry Out Suicide
Pact. Swore They'd Never Part.

Aiken. Sept. 21-A double suicide
occurred about six miles from Aiken
this afternoon. the party being Sergt.
John ]. Murphy and his wife Lottie.
Sergt. Murphy only a few months
ago married Mrs. Richardson, the
daughter Of Spann Holley, an Aiken
county. farmer, end the affection be-
tween this young couple was gener-
ally commented upon. The young SOL
dier was on his furlough from his
command. and yesterday asked for
an additional days leave Of absence.
He was to have left this afternoon.
but instead, took a rifle and shotgun
and the couple left the house stating
that they were going hunting. They
went short distance from the house
and sat down on a little ledge. The
young woman placed the rifle in her
mouth. the soldier placing the shot
gun against his forhead. Two shots
were heard about ten minutes apart.
the first shot was fired some dis
tance from where the bodies were
found. and it is supposed that one
or the guns was being tried out. A
second report was heard. as If both
guns went off simultaneously, and it
is surmised that at a given signal
both killed themselves. The bodies
were found side by side and in the
lap of the lady was the stick she
used to press the trigger. Sergt Muir
ply was a member Of Company C,
115th M. G. B. N, Camp Wheeler
and was to leave very shortly for
overseas. He had made repeated as
sertions that he and his wife would
never be separated and this afternoon
carried out their intentions. Sergt
Murphy formerly lived in Augusta
Ga, but his family recently moved
to Bath.

use.) Now this condition is not justi-
fable. 1t should be possible to hold
an honest election and when I say
honest election 1t is not intended as
an insinuation or reflection upon
the election itself-because there is
no thought of unfairness Of conduct
of election managers-buto our can
didates ought to be honorable and
fair enough to agree to refrain from
using hired workers and dishonorable
characters in promotion Of the can

In the recent election 1t was not
unusual to see men at work giving
freely in time and money to further
a candidates. interest. and these same
men are not in the habit Of giving
away anything. Now I have refrain

only mentioned in q general way as
q protest against condition that Is
not, Cor at least ought not be- in

In this conclusion I believe the use
of the Australian ballot system at

healthier state Of affairs and make it
easter to put into practice the habit
of denying money to these dishoner-
able heelers and political hire lings.
