Mr.. Pierce Loses Mules.

Mr.. ]. Y. Pierce had the misfortune
last Saturday afternoon to loose two
mules and about SIS worth OF gro
ceries when bridge across Hashu-
qua creek west of Mashulaville, broke
in and precipitated the mules In about
light feet of water. The tongue
of the wagon struck in the mud in the
bottom of the creek and held the mules
head under water until they were
drowned.
The road had become so bad by
recent rains that it was impossible to
get through with their car. and Mr. and
Mrs. Pierce and a negro driver were
in the wagon when the bridge caved
IN. Both were bruised. Mrs. Pierce
suffered sprained ankle and Mr.
Pierce confusion on his head, but
in the excitement neither knew exact
" how or when it occurred, but sup
posed it was when they jumped from
the wagon.
Mr. Pierce thinks he could have saw
ed the mules if either he or his driver
had had a knife, but the only knite
in the party was in the suit case o1
Mrs Pierce and that floated down the
creek and before it could be retrieved
ard the knife procured the mules mac
drowned.
The bridge was on a private roat
between Mr.. Pierce's mill and th'
Strait place.

GREEKS CLAIM THEY

150,000 Refugees at American
 Relief Stations ....

Athens, Sept (By the Associat- ed Press)-Fresh attacks by the Turkish nationalists have been re- pulsed by the Creeks who inflicted severe casualties on the Kemalists ac- cording to an official communique is- sued last night. The statement says
 The enemy's offensive toward Akardag met with stubborn resistance from our troops who repulsed fresh attacks. The number of the enemy killed and wounded exceeds 10000. Our forces retired in order, destroy ing communications.
 "The enemy has not yet occupied Eski-Shehr, although the town has been evacuated five days.
 MaSsacres Continue
 "The massacres and persecution of the Christians in the evacuated dis tricts continue. A considerable num- Der of refugees are following our retiring troops"
 In general the military situation is regarded in official and other circles as containing to improve and the position of the southern Greek forces at Aleshhr so miles east of smyrna is considered here to be secure.

Guard Constantinople

Constantinople, Aug. 23.-With the excitement over the Greek threat to invade Constantinople subsided, a new menace against the capital has arisen The danger no longer comes from the Greek side but from 1smid, where the Turkish nationalists under Nustapha Renal have concentrated an army of more than 10000 men whose avowed purpose is to march on Constantinople, drive out the Greeks and claim the ancient metropolis in the name of Islam.
 In anticipation of an offensive by the Kemalists, the British are with drawing all their troops from the Chataldja lines, where they were re- gently sent to keep back the Greeks and their places will be taken by French.
 The British troops will be used to forestall any forward movement by the Kemalists on the capital
 Ismid, which is an important sup ply base of the Turkish nationalists, is less than 100 miles from Con- stantinople and it is pointed out that the only formidable obstacle the Kemalists would encounter on march toward the Golden Horn would be the long range fire of the allied fleet in the sea of Marmora.
 The British, French and Italian troops garrisoning Constantinople number only 5000 or 5000.

HUMAN HAND MAILED
 TO NEGRO EDITOR
Package Signed "K. K. K" Warns New Yorker to Be Careful
 of His Actions.

New York, Sept. GA package containing a human left hand, evl- dently that of a white man, and letter signed TX. K. K" threatening murder, was received yesterday by A. Philip Randolph, editor of Ne gro monthly magazine, The Mes senger." The package, which bore a wrapper marked From a Friend, New Orleans" was opened by the po- lice.
 The letter warned Randolph to keep out of white mems movements and unite with his own race. Ran- dolph said he believed it was sent by his enemies in the south and that it referred to a recent controversy be- tween himself and Marcus Garvey, rresident of the Provincial Republic of Africa, and editor of "The Negro World"
 After telling Randolph that his movements have been watched, the author of the letter warns him against interfering with anything that may happen in the south. It con- cludes:
 Now be careful how you publish this letter in your magazine, or we may have to send your hand to some one else Don't think we can't get you and your crowd. Although you are in New York city, it is just as easy as if you were in Georgia If you can't unite with your own race we will find out what's the matter with you all."

WIDOW FOLLOWS HER
 HUSBAND ID DEATH
Writes 'I am Latt," Then Con-
 lnitS Suicide

ChamoniX, France Sept (By As- sociated Press) Mine. Mariol Sembat committed suicide here today follow ing the sudden death yesterday of her husband the millionaire socialist deputy and former minister Of public works.
 M Semhat who was socialist deputy from Montmartre, was appointed min ister of public works in 1914 shortly after the outbreak of the war, and served as such in the cabinets of Ni- Viani and Briand. retiring when the Briand ministry was reorganized in 1916. He was a large employer of labor, but nevertheless was a strong supporter of the socialist movement,
 Mime. Sembat committed suicide by shooting.
 Tt is l2 hours now since he went; am late" wrote Mme. Se,mUat be- fore firing bullet into her throat, rauslng her instant death, in the villa where her husband had died sudden ly of heart disease yesterday.
 Mime. Sembat and her husband were very devoted to one another and were always seen together in pub lie and private functions. She was widely known as a painter.
 The couple had been married 30 years and were childless
 M. Sembat's fortune is estimated at between 4,000,000 and 5000, 900 francs. By strange irony of fate it will revert practically in it's entirety to the bourgeoise government which the socialist deputy had fought through his political life.
