ATROCITY TALES DENIED.
Gen. Pershing Denies Story of Ger
man Cruelty Credited to Sergt.

Washington, July 10.--Statements
Of German cruelties attributed by a
st. Louis newspaper to an unnamed
sergeant of the American expedition
airy forces, sent to the United States
to assist in the Third Liberty Loan
campaign, are denied by Gen. Per-
shing In cablegram made public
tonight by the War Department.
Gen. Pershing recommended that
if the sergeant was quoted correctly.
he be returned Immediately to
France for active duty.
The statements attributed to the
sergeant we're quoted In Gen. Per-
shing's cablegram as follows:
"The Germans give poisoned
candy to tho children to eat and
hand grenades for them to play
with. They show glee at the chill
dren's dying writings and laugh
aloud when the grenades explode. I
saw one American boy, about seven
teen years old, who had been cap
tured by the Germans, come back to
our trenches. He had cotton in and
about his ears. l asked some one
what the cotton was for. The Ger
mans cut off his ears and sent him
back to tell us they want to fight
men, was the answer They feed
Americans tuberculosis germs.
There is no foundation whatever
for such statements, based on any
experience we have had" Gen, Per-
shing said.

"A Good Union Meeting.

The union meeting that convened
with Rocky Knoll Baptist church on
June 20 and 80 was one of unusual
interest. jThe meeting was full of
Christian spirit from the beginning
to the end. These exciting war times
have not caused the people to lose
sight Of the fact that the most i'm
portant thing in the world to do Is
to Christianize the world.
The program that had been ar
ranged for the occasion was we'll car
ried out by the following persons:
Rev. l.. M. LYDIA, Rev. J. p. Taylor,
j. l.. Vaughan, Rev. l.. w. Uangston,
Rev. l.. L. Davis, w. w. Fowler, Rev
NJ. ]. Stancil, C. f. Hetrick, w. NJ.
Brown, Rev. w. NJ. Thompson, Rev.
d. +. Carter, w. r. Alexander, j. NJ.
Alexander, DR.. *. J. Langston.
The first query of the program,
which asked ''How may we get the
best results from our protracted
meetings this summer" started the
evangelistic spirit of the meeting. 1t
seemed that everybody felt the re-
sponsibility for the salvation of lost
souls.
The Sunday morning sermon was
a soul-stirring message by DR.. W. j.
Langston. After the sermon the un-
ion adjourned, and those in attend
ance felt that they had attended a
good meeting.

Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up Any Corn or Callus So

You corn-pestered men and wo-
men need suffer no longer. Wear
the shoes that nearly killed you be-
fore, says this Cincinnati authority,
because few drops Of freezone ap-
piled directly on a tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once and soon
the corn loosens so it can be lifted
out, root and all, without bit Of
pain.
A quarter of an ounce Of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
out is sufficient to take off every hard
or soft corn or callus. This should
be tried, as it Is inexpensive and is
said not to inflame or even irritate
the surrounding tissue or skin.

TWO NEGROES KILLED.
Section Hands Hit by Passing Train.
Ono Killed at Calhoun.
(Farm and Factory, 11th.)

VIII Reid and Dock Spencer, ne
groes working with construction
crew, were instantly Rilled Tuesday
afternoon about o'clock by South
ern train No. 1873. In both instances
death was instantaneous, Reid 8 head
being almost severed from the body,
his arm cut off and the body other
wise mangled. Spencer's body was
badly bruised toward the lower part.
The crew Of some 20 or 80 men
were working near the Stribling
place, about two miles south Of
Seneca. They were engaged in open
ing ditch to drain pond of water
which had collected between the
tracks. Spencer. Reid and another
negro were working together, the
other members of the crew being
some distance down the track. AS
a freight train passed going south
the foreman called his men from tho
tracks, mentioning at the time that
No. 1873 was due. The two men
who were killed and another negro
were the only ones who did not step
to the outside of the tracks. Dust
caused by the freight train and
smoke which had accumulated in
the deep cut served to blind the
workmen and No. 1873 rounded the
deep curve (going north) before it's
approach was noted. The men fur
ther down the track jumped to one
side and shouted warning to the
others, but the noise Of the passing
train prevented their being heard.
One Of the men in the first crew, as
soon as he saw the approaching train,
threw rock at one of the workmen
In the gang Of three, and he stepped
off the track second after the rock
hit him. He says he did not know
that the train was coming and step
ped off the tracks because he was
hit by the rock. The other two men,
dodging out of the way of the pass
ing freight train, stepped on the
track of the passenger train and met
instant death.
At the inquest it was said that the
engineer on No. 1873 could not have
stopped his train after turning the
curve before the men were hit.
Both bodies were brought to SEN
eca and prepard for burial. Spencer
lived at Cherry's Crossing and Reid's
home was in Atlanta.
One Killed ut Calhoun,
A colored man was killed by train
No. so in Pickens county, just across
the Oconee line, late Tuesday after
noon. Crews from shanty cars locat-
ed near Calhoun had just finished
supper and were resting along the
track. One Of the men fell asleep
and was hit by the train before be-
ing awakened. He was instantly
killed. This was the third man
killed on the road in few hours.
Two were killed near Seneca.

j. r. ZACHARY HEAVY LOSER.
Horses and Cows and Much Proven
der Lost---Four Buildings Burned.
(Farm and Factory, lIth.)

Four buildings and several COWS
and horses were destroyed by fire at
J. r. Zachary's country home in the
Cross Roads section on Monday
night, the Sth, shortly after nine
o'clock. Mr.. Zachary carried small
amount Of insurance in the Oconee
Farmers Mutual Insurance .\ssocia-
ton, but his loss is heavy.
Mr.. Zachary was on his front
porch when the flames were discover
ed, aid already the interior Of the
building, where straw was stored,
had been almost covered by the
flames. Members of the family were
powerless to fight the blaze and the
big barn, crib, smokehouse and q
small outbuilding, four in all, were
burned to the ground. About 100
bushels of corn were in the barn, be-
sides quantity Of feedstuff, one
wagon, two milk COWS and a horse.
Some of the wheat was saved. Be-
fore the flames reached the smoke
--NoN oohS HSoI was ldhcH Out.
Mr.. Zachary states that no one had
been in the barn with matches, and
he is unable to account for the ORR
gin of the fire. A week or ten days
ago a threshing outfit was at his
place and 1t is thought possible u
match was then dropped in the straw
and was ignited by rats Monday
night.
Within few minutes after the
fire was discovered the top Of the
big barn had fallen in. Mr.. Zachary
had time to run in the building and
loose some of the stock, but the
structure was then so hot and the
smoke so thick that he was unable
to get them to the door. One of the
COWS came to the door before the
building fell In, but the gate had
closed and it was too late to open it
again. Both COWS were valuable an
imals, with young calves.
