A handful of persons from the mil
lions who saw the first Zeppelin faty.
over the heart of London on the
night of September 9 reported in
New York Monday aboard the steam
ship Orduna with thrilling stories of
the, fight in the .sky ..between the in
vaders and British aircraft and other
details of tlidamage inf lfeted1f hich
had hitherto been suppressed" by the
British censor. (,
There were said to be three Zep
pelins in the' fleet. They circled orer
the dheater and hotel district of Lon-
Ann Hrnnnine exDlosive and incen-
diary bombs. One of the latter, it
was said, destroyed by fire an entire
block of warehouses within five min
utes' walk of St. Paul's cathedral.
An explosive bomb ripped through a
six-story tenement in the center of
the city, shattering the building from
top to bottom and killing a dozen or
more men, women and children as
they slept.
Piecert together from accounts
given by the Orduna's passengers, the
story of the air raid was as follows:
The raid occurred between 10.45
and 11.15 o'clock on the night of Sep
tember 9. Persons asleep in hotels in
the center of the city were awakened
by the incessant whir of aeroplane
engines as the British air fleet took
wing to repel the invaders. Just as
the Zeppelins appeared over the
Strand, most of the theaters were
pouring their crowds into the street.
According to some passengers, a
panic impended when the first word
of the approaching aircraft was pass
ed from mouth to mouth in whispers.
The lights were turned off and the
men and women in evening clothe?
fought for taxicabs and other ve
hicles to take them home.
Suddenly, from every section of
London, the sky was swept by long
white beams from scores of search
lights. The tops of these beams were
not long in resting upon what they
sought.
Two searchlights finally centered
on a Zeppelin, while the others con
tinued to search the" sky for more air
craft. Already the air was dotted
with aeroplanes, which could be seen
frequently as they crossed the search
light beams, circling upward. The
roar of guns from the city was punc
tuated at intervals by the explosions
of bombs which fell in Newgate
street, not far from St. Paul's cathe
dral, in Holborn, in Cheapside,. in
Bloomfield street, near the Liverpool
station and near the water front of
the Thames river in that section of
the city in which St. Paul is located.
There was hardly a space of five
seconds during the 10 minutes or
more that the searchlight beams
rested on tho raider, eye witnesses
said, that the sky was not lighted by
flashes of exploding shells.
As the noise of the cannonading
grew louder those who had fled at
first to cellars gained couiage and
came out into the streets.
The bursting' sheils, lighting the
sky like meteors, shattered into sad
den fire all abound the Zeppelin.
Meanwhile the Zeppelin maneuvered
over the Holboru section of London,
circling at least twice. These ma
neuvers ended when a shell burst al
most directly under the aircraft's
bow.
A swerve, a sudden dip and the
searchlights lost the Zeppelin. They
were on her a moment after and it
was seen that she appeared to be go
ing down by the head. For a few
seconds she hovered as if uncertain
what to do, then righted herself,
pointed her nose slightly upward and
ascended so rapidly that within a
minute ortwo the searchlights could
find her no more. There were no
further bomb explosions thereafter.
London went to bed that night
with hot wrath, but not in fear, these
passengers said. The next day they
went out to see what damage uad
been .lone. Having -noticed that the
sky in the vicinity of St. Paul's had
been tinted red, they went into that
direction first. Back of the cathe
dral, where there are many ware
houses near the river front, they
came upon the first visible effect of
the raid
An entire city block vas in ashes,
with only the smudged shells of
buildings left standing. Tne sight
seers heard that the burned buildings
had been big warehouses, filled with
clothing and other supplies for the
uritisn army. Tnere were no munif
wub iu me uuiiumgs, However, It
was said.
In Bloomfield street, two and one
half miels from Trafalgar square, a
row of dwellings had been damaged,
as if by artillery fire. The damage
extended over ah' area of about three
blocks. There was a cavity in the
middle of the street, '30 feet in
diameter and about eight feet deep.
. Altogether, it was unofficially re
pbrid, approximately '40! person?
were kllied : 5 by bombst 'and 200 or
more wounded.

SOUTH
HISTORY REVIEWED.
South Carolina prohibitionists at
last have won a victory out of which
Senator Tillman tricked them twenty
two years ago. In 1890, when the
present senator first gained control,
and practical possession, of the state,
it was about three-fourths "dry" un
der local option. There were no sa
loons except in the cities and larger
towns. The prohibition issue was
made and an arrangement something
like what we had here in Virginia
last year was effected. At a very ex
citing general primary, a separate
box was placed at each precinct in
which to vote for or against prohibi
tion. Many of the people were so en
grossed in the Tillman fight that they
neglected this extra box, but prohibi
tion won by a majority of 40,000.
Senator Tillman, then -governor, prac
tically ignored the prohibitionists.
He was king and could do as he liked
and he whipped them to heel. He
became infatuated with the dispen
sary idea, which had been iadopted by
the city of Athens, Ga. He created
and established the state dispensary,
with supply and executive headquar
ters at the capital of the state and
branches in every important town
and city. Some of the prohibitionists
became so enthusiastic over this Till
man scheme that they actually ac
cepted employment aa -dispensers.
Men who had worked and voted for
prohibition, including ar few clergy
men, took jobs to sell whiskey over
the counter, in packages from a -half
pint up, and, on pretext of fighting
the blind tigers, catered carefully to
local tastes for intoxicants. The pay
depended on the .sales.

er who hag been in almost daily con-
f erence wl tn" the co'mmTssKn -fio' as
sume that :the whoe - problem ;Of
stabilizing 1 exchange, and thtre pro
viding for continuance of all Amer
ican exports, will 1 be halted over a
discussion' as to whether a credit
loan should be-made available ford
munition payments. The big thing
is to stabilize the' exchange; then the
matter of paying for munition auto-J
matically takes care of itself.
Exports of munitions, it was esti
mated, constitute considerably less
than 25 per cent of the total value of
American shipments to Great Britain
and Prance. Leaving them out of
calculations, if provision be made for
the shipment of soil products and the
chief manufactured articles, exchange
will, in the opinion of bankers, be
come stabilized. It would not then
be difficult to find a method of pay
ing for munitions, if it were absolute
ly necessary to adopt t different
method, it is believed. Gold or
American securities or both, or even
some other methods of payment.
could be arranged.
The dispensary began in riot and
strife and bloodshed, attended with
proclamation of martial law, mutiny
of part of the militia and mobiliza
tion of all the rest, with raids and
invasions and searches , of private
dwellings by armed ruffians commis
sioned as dispensary constables. On
one occasion, at least, the bed room
of a prominent gentlewoman of
Charleston was invaded and explored
by these Tillman agents in pretend
ed search for illicit liquor. Begin
ing thus, the state dispensary wound
up, as a state institution, in an orgy
of 'corruption and scandal as bad as
any that developed under carpet bag;
scalawag and cornfield negro rule in"
the reconstruction period. It was'
proved that the state not only killed!
and persecuted citizens to establish
for herself a monopoly of the liquor
business, but that she had swindled"
and poisoned her enforced customers
The whiskey sold from the state dis
pensary to the local dispensaries and!
by them to consumers, at high prices
had been watered freely and doctor
ea with concentrated lye to give it
"age" and "bead." The profits wer
enormous and a large part of theml
was stolen. Men are living in Sout'hj
Carolina today at ease, enjoying fois
tunes filched from state and people
tnrougn tne wnissey business.
The state dispensary was abolisb.4
ed and counties and cities were left
to decide, by local option, whether!
they should have dispensaries. Six'
counties of the forty-two voted for
and established official saloons, the!
profits going into the local treasuries.
The counties which voted for prohi
bition proceeded to ignore the law;
