Berlin, Aug. 18.?(via Copenhagen and London, Aug. 18 9:07
p. m.)?A series of statements on the Liege situation is pub
lished from the headquarters of Gen. Stein, according to which
French officers and pefhaps also French soldiers were sent to
Liege before the war to instruct the Belgium troops in the de
fense of the fortifications.
"It wa>8 impossible to protest against this," says Gen. Stein,
"but after the WRr^be'gina^this conduct had to be rewded as
an infraction of Belgian neutrality by France. We had to act
with all speed and mobilize. Besriments were sent to the front
tier, and marched on Liege. Six weak brigades on a peace
footing, with soihe cavlrv nnd artillery took Liege.
"The brigades were mobilised a tLieg? and there received
as first reinforcements their-trwif fWierve. To whether regi
eneraies through t that 100,000 Germans wore at liege? and ow
enemies thShgh that 100,000 Germans were at Liege, and ow

This, however, was a mistake. There was another reason for
the pause. ' - . ?? -v- -'i-,? ?

It will be Interesting to our plan
ters to learn that the markets In
South Carolina have again been opr
ened and that the buyers tor the
foreign tobacco companies have been
placed back on the market. We
learn from a buyer who has recently
returned from the South Carolina
markets that the prices are about
equal with those of last year and that
there was no noticeable difference in
the price when the foreign buyers
?e off.
With these facts In view It looks as
If this market may open with equal
prices of last year and that they may
hold up even through the foreign com
panies might decide to withdraw for
a time.
We learn that there will be-seven
regular buyers In addition to several
independent ones on the market this
year. The following companies will
be represented. The American To
bacco Co. The Export Tobacco Co..
The Imperial Tobacco Co., Leggett and
Myers, J. P. Taylor, Co., C. B. Cheat
ham Co. S. J. Parham.
The reason of the lateness of open
k> due to two facts. First the
crops is late and second time has been
given th* companies to transfer their
hoyers from South Carolina.

POPE PIUS, THE TENTH, DEAD
Worry Over the Great European War
Brings on nipess That Quickly
Kills Aged Pontiff.
Orlef over the war in Europe had
greatly depressed the Pope since its
outbreak, and the result has been a
reapppearence of the old bronchial af
fection to which he has now succum
ed. ?
Dr. Amici, the Pope's physician, ex
plained that the Pope's vitality has
been greatly diminished recently and
that breathing the vitiated atmos
phere of heated rooms during almost
dally audiences had been greatly
agalnBt him.
Everything possible was done to
save his life. Stimulants were in
jected and oxygen administered. For
a while these relieved the Pope, and
enabled htm to aak about the execu
tion of his commands.
- Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary, and Mooeignor Ross, have
been in faithful attendance on the
pontiff,during his last illness All
Cardinals have been officially noti

?1 health has been the Pontiff's
ilot for many years, and' interalt
ently the attacks have been so seri

pared several times to hear of his
passing. During the summer there
had been numerous denials from the
Vatican that his Indisposition was
serious As late as August 10 laat
