German Mine On
American Coast.

An elaborately constructed mine
OF German type was found floating
on the beach near New York City
last Friday or Saturday. 1t was
thought to have been placed on
Fire Island by the German subma-
rine which recently operated m
those waters, and was prevented
from exploding by defective wiring.
Such a mine weighs 200 pounds,
costs 1,50c and is capable Of doing
much damage.

Tragedy
Costs Life of Man.

A tragedy which resulted in the
death of man and which happen
ed very close to Lexington, came
first to our knowledge on Thursday
OF last week after The PROGRESS had
gone to press. Sheriff w. r, Wright
on that day informed us that on the
morning of that day he had been
called on by a special agent or de-
tective of the Nashville, Chattannga
< St. Louis Railroad, who gave him
his first information tha. a man of
the following description had been
found with his skull crushed and in
an unconscious condition, on the
18th day of August, on or near the
railroad tract, near Hinson Springs,
by the crew of South h-bound freight
train, who carried the unconscious
man to the Crook Sanitarium at
Jackson, where he died the next
day without shaving recovered
or consciousness, The description,
as follows, is vague; About 80
years, weight about 160 pounds,
light or sandy hair, height 5 feet
and 8 or 8 inches. The Sheriff says
that he had heard nothing of the
occurrence until he was informed
on the day named and we can say
that until that day we had not
heard the matter mentioned.
The railroad agent thought it
possible that the man had been
hurt and then carried to the place
where he was found, to give the ap-
pearance of having been hurt on the
railroad. Sheriff Wright has mo-
way to investigate the matter and
this publication is made in the hope
that Il may fall under the eye OIL

The first series Of East VS.. West
lu the two major leagues have been
completed and through these clashes
some startling form rcvcrsals have
been written into the baseball his
tory Of the 1913 season. Teams
which were expected to ride rough
shod over apparently weaker COM
binauons have failed dismaly. and
clubs of which little had been eN-
pccted were quite successful IN these
intcrsecuoual combats.
The peunaut winners Of 1917, the
White SoN In the American league
and the Giants in the National
league. proved real disappointments
to their followers, The work Of
oach championship club in its own
section led the fans to expect a good
record on the. road, but neither got
az much as an even break during its
travels.
The White SoX won six games In
fourteen, while the Giants won five
of the fourteen played. Many critics
believe that these two clubs viii

they will have to play much better
baseball than they have shown dur
