Gold and Silver Movements

Gold imports for the calendar
year 1919 totaled 76.5 millions,
compared with 62 millions for the
calendar year 1918, while gold ex-
ports totaled 1852 millions, COM
pared with 400 millions exported
in 1918. Net gold exports for
1919 amounted to 291.7 millions,
as against Pill millions the year
before. The 1919 figures are, how
ever, exclusive of 1884 millions
of gold received from the Reichs-
bank for foodstuffs sold to the
German government. This gold
is held at present in London, with
the exception of about AZ millions
which have been sold by the Fed
eral Reserve banks and released
to foreign interests. Counting the
1918 millions held on December
81 by the Bank of England for the
Federal Reserve banks as an off
set against the net exports above
shown, the net loss of gold thru
transfer abroad is reduced to
1904 millions. Of the gold i'm
ports over three-fourths were re-
ceived from Canada, Hongkong,
tie United Kingdom, and Mexico,
while of the gold exports GAL
millions were consigned to Japan
and over 125 millions to the other
Far Eastern countries; i. e., China
Hongkong, British India, Straits
Settlements, and Dutch East In
dies; 56.6 millions to Argentina;
33 millions to other South Ameri-
can countries; 29.8 millions to
Spain; and 1914 millions to Mex
leo. Net imports of gold since
August l, 1914, were $765,520,-
600.
Silver imports during 1919 tot
aled 1914 millions, compared with
TIA millions in 1918, while silver
exports during 1919 were about
239 millions, compared with 1928
millions the year before. By far
the larger portion of the silver

to the Far East, British India hav-
ing received 1892 millions, China
77.6 millions, and Hong Kong 1912
millions. The three countries
named account for over 80 per
cent of the total value of silver
shipped to foreign destinations
during the past calendar year. 1t
is worth noting that silver exports
to India, which constituted by far
the larger portion Of the total for
eign silver shipments during 1918
and 1919 to September 10, have
practically ceased since and been
superseded by large gold ship
ments to that country during the
latter part of the year. Net ex-
ports of silver since August l.,
1914, were $432, ,742,000.

Don't worry and complain about

kidneys, lame and achy backs, your

Pills. Read this statement:
Mrs. W. L. Howell, 914 Forsyth

ago my kidneys became affected.
They didn't act properly and I felt
tired and languid all the time. My
back was sore and lame and l had
constant, dull ache in the small of
it. When l would stoop over, l could
hardly straighten again and dizzy
spells came over me and black specks
would float before nay eyes, blurring
my sight. Hearing of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I decided to take them and
a box and a half entirely cured me
of the complaint. I have never had
a recurrence of these ailments
since"

ventive of typhoid more freely than
heretofore, according to DR.. B. F
Bond, county health commissioner.
Yesterday DR.. Bond was at Sumter
and Anthony school house, where he
administered about fifty inoculations,
and today he visited Plains, Thomp-
son and Thalean school house for the
same purpose. Tomorrow he will go
go Huntington, Leslie, DeSoto and
Cobb, where he hopes to inoculate
many others. The inoculations are
free. They cause small, if any re-
action, DR.. Bond says, but are posi-
tive preventive of typhoid fever. The
continued and universal use of this
serum, he says, will in time entirely
eradicate the disease which in past
years has caused thousands of deaths
in every community.

Convict Lipe Denies
Gang Cruelty Charge

"a pack of lies," is the statement
of Billy Lipe, Sumter county con-
vict, regarding the statement OF
Thurman Young that convicts on the
Fulton county gang are not treated
humanely. Lipe served with Young
on the gang at Hapeville, and he
says convicts were punished there
when they violated the rules, and not
otherwise, as Young said. The Full
ton county gang is "hard" gang,
according to Lipe, due to the fact that
there are always about a hundred
convicts there, many of them har.
dened criminals. Lipe is a trusty
here, and said today that he had ap-
piled for a parole.
"Young's statement was made
without my knowledge and without
my consent" said Line this after
noon, "and l want people to know
that l had nothing whatever to do
with it."
