week preceding the preliminary hear ing.
 Tt is an outrage that these boys were forced to lay down their blowing and hoelng and thrown in Jail charged with mHrder occurring down here" said Judge Abernethy, after he had nolle pressed the cases.

 Increase in pig iron produced. 41.9S per cent compared with 3b.87 for the country at large.
 Increase in active cotton spindles 44.75 per cent compared with 2s.S7 for the country at large.

 Bank deposits in the south in- creased from $S00,0o0,00o in 1910 to s2,soo, ooO,Oop In 1920. 2 gain of 2bo per cent.
 The increase in the freight serv- ice of the Southern, measured in ton miles, was 90 per cent from 1911 to 1920, and the increase in passenger service was 66 per cent.

 When the Southern was organized in 1894 there were only single track lines. Now the company has 1.021 miles of double track, of which TIA miles are in the Southern proper and BIT on the Cincinnati-New Orleans line. Most important achievement in double tracking was the stretch be- tween Atlanta and Washington which embraces car miles.
 The Southern Railway System now covers $500 miles and the Souther. Railway company has 16,ooo stock holders.

An Interesting
 Talk on Africa
Woman Who Was Nurse During Boer War Now Living in
 Wrangell

Mrs. Henry Cole gave a most interesting talk about her experi- ences in South Africa during the Boer war, at an open meeting of the Pioneers lastMonday evening.
 Mrs. Cole entered the British army as a private, and left with the rank of captain. Her descrip- tions of the countries that she visited were so vivid that listen CT could not only see them, but also feel that he was there.
 Her descriptions of the Boers, the Kaffirs, the Zulus, and the Egyptians were such that the differences and the characteris- tics of each people were clearly set forth. The hardships endured during the Boer war, in many ways, on account of climate, diff faculties of transportation, etc., were greater than during the late war. More died of thirst and for want of proper medical treatment than from bullets on the battle field.
 Lord Kitchener was a man of iron who never repeated an order, and who demanded that each or der be carried out to the letter, and was yet kindly and even af- fectionate toward those who had served and suffered with him. The whole address was filled with most interesting "reminiscences, and though given in the most quiet way, continually thrilled those who had the privilege of hearing Mrs. Cole speak.
