Paris reports that the Turks have delivered an unsuccessful night attack against theBritish positions near the Anzao region, but beyond that no news has been received here of the operations in the Lear east. :: There has been a renewal of re ports from Athens of dissensions between the Turks aud Germans at Constantinople and of depres sion among the Turks as a rusnlt of heavy losses. The Turkish troops, nevertheless, are reported to be fighting with all their old stubbornness. Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of the British Admiralty, in a a let ter to the press gives official rec ognition to the belief here that the German promises to America not to- sink any more passenger ships without warning were . brought about by realisation that th submarine warefare against merchantmen had proved a fail ure. He again , intimated that nlany German submarines have 7 been accounted for, aud adds that ' British merchant tonnage, now. is greater than before the war, de " spite the damage done by the sub 5 marines. - Washington, Sept 5 Ameri- - can Consul Frost at Quenstown c cabled tcnight that probably eight ' or ten lives were lost iu the tor " pedoing of the Hesperian.

Along the battle fronts the sit uation is little cbauged. The Germans and Austriaus claim far ttier progress in Russia and Gali oia. The big gang of both sides are doing the greater part of the wrk in Belgium and France and along the Austro-Italiau front. Nothing hps come through con cerning the fighting at the Dar dauelles. The Germans . evidently have been unable to follow up exten sively their sucoess on the Dvina near Friedrichstadt, for Berlin says the Bituation from the Baltic to east of Grodno remains un changed.

The menaoe to Riga, the important Russian seaport on the Baltic, is "becoming more serious; The Germans still hold the bridgehead at Friedrioh stadt, effeotivelyoutting offRiga's railway cTmimuhicatio'n to The south and German aircraft are in she gulf, perhaps pressaging another naval clash as part cf a concerted German move to com plete the isolation of the port. According to an unofficial Ber lin dispatch the Germans claim posession of the gulf, the Russians having abandoned Dagoe, the northernmost of the three islands just outBide the gulf. Worth Their Weight In Gold.

They are worth their weight injgold," writes Miss Clara A. Driggs, Elba, N. Y. Obtainable everywhere. Passing of i Bad Practice. The "time business," it is about as bad as drinking 1 likker' to the man who keeps it up very long. But what we started out to say is that the bad practice of buying on time supplies to make a crop with is dwindling beautifully in this good county. The time business for farm supplies fell off about seventy five per oent this year. Sounds unreasonable, .but it. is true. And the livestock business fell eff about one hundred and ten per cent, and that sounds foolish, but it's this way : Farmers have sold more horses and mules for shipment out of the county than have been brought into the ooonty. As a consequence of those conditions when the cotton is sld this fall a larger percent age of what the producers to do with as they please thau has gone into those same pDokets any one year in the past 40 years.

This was not grant ed and the steps are being eraoted in the rear. Several Negroes were present in reference to propcasd new sohool buildings. Prof. W. B. Critten den stated that one central sohool building was desired and Dr. Williston asked that the present building in Dixon ville be allowed to remain and that a new central sohool be erected. This is to be given attention later. Superintendent Allen presented the proposed sohools and the re distrioting of the oity as suggest by the school board whioh was as follows: To maintain the following sohools : 1.

Charles Lindsay, of Henry River, met death Sunday morn ing, wheu extra freight No. 747, Southern Rail war, was wrecked two miles east of Connelly Springs at 5:40 Lindsay was not a mem ber of the train crew, it being presumed that he was beating his way or walking along the track when, the wreck occurred. Ten cars of the freight were piled up and blocked the track all day. None of the train crew was hurt. With a bullet wound having pierced his side-just above the heart ond lying with his faoe downward in his own lifeblood, Sylvester Goodwin, a white man employed in the "Bull factory," was the victim of an earlv Sun day morning tragedy in North Durham. The coroner's jury re turned a verdiot Sunday mov ing that Goodwin's death re sulted from a gunshot from a pistol fired by George Webb, a Negro man. Webb made his es cape immediately after the shoot ing, Goodwin was an industrious man of about 80 years old; He had laid away a comfortable sum for a rainy day and had invested some money in real estate. He 3 was a cripple and limped as he walked. He was not a habitual visitor of disreputable joints, as bis friends- claim he only drank onoe or twice a year. David. Lambe, a special police man at Concord, was shot while attempting to arrest a Negro Thursday night. Lambe attempt ed to arrest Zeb Pharr at Silver Hilla negro section, and a mix up followed.

Leaving as his final dying confession the statsment that was given out Wed nesday night in whioh he assumed sole guilt in the murder and rob bery of Sidney Swam in Charlotte on the night of May 16, 1914, Charles B. Trull went to the eleo trio chair in the State's Prison here at 10:80 o'clock this morn ing, paying the death penalty with a remarkable degree of self control. For an hour before the electro cution Trull was closeted with his spiritnal adviser, Rev. J. W. Pot ter of the Jenkins Memorial Methodist Church, who made the statement afterwards that Trull seemed thoroughly pentinent and confident that he had obtained forgiveness. Trull reoeived 'the rite of bantism from Mr. Potter Tuesday and was enrolled as a member of Jenkins Memorial Church. Then on Wednesday he reoeived the oom amnion service at the hands of his pastor. He turn ed over to Mr. Potter this morn ing a Bible that he had used dar ing his imprisonment and a pack age of letters all of whioh he re quested the minister to deliver to his mother. Every Home Needs a Faithful Cough and Cold Remedy. When seasons change and colds appearwhen yon first detect a cold after sitting next to one who has sneejsd, then it is that a tried and tested remedy should be faithfully used "I never wrote a testimonial before, but I know that positively that for myself and family, Dr. King's New Dis covery is the best coughv remedy we ever used and we have tried ETaiieliils Get Tooth of Jta A Specimen if Thi Toleration to bs Ex pected Wken Rome Rales. The business men who are mem bers of the Chicago Evangelistio Association have just received a pretty fair taste of what might be expected by Protestantism if Rome should succeed in her de termination to make America Ro man Catholic. The Association has been doing earnest and highly gratifying work far the betterment of humanity ever since their organization, and in pursuing their work raised a tent at the corner of 81st and Princeton streets, Chicago, abdut two weeks ago. The evangelist, R v. Robert G. Moore, with a handful of Z9alons Christian workers proceeded to hold meetings, but from the start ctiny met the worst kind of opposi i m The neighborhood is large y Roman Catholic, and when the ws wts circulated that "th Portestants are omiug." the un lerhauded ageuts of popery inject d the unwarranted cry that tht meetings were biug backed up by the The Menace and must be stop ped by all nnans. Thus was bit teruess engendered at the start. The above statement and the call to "do away with them," was made qu the step of St, Mary's Rjman Catholic Churoh on Sun day morning, and it bore early fruit. For four nights the meet ing was stoned. Rook fell in ail directions and ths tent was perfor ated in several places, A stone hurled at the minister struok Mrs. Caroline Wilcox of 8041 Narmcl Aye., fracturing her arm. The caretaker was severely braised and had to be taken away for medical treatment.-Net less than ten per sons were hart by the stones hurl ed into the tent. The polioe were called for but failed to answer. After several fruitless efforts for proteccion, a oall was made by influential per sons at the oity hall and officials niguer up immeaiateiy toox a part in it. Four uniformed po licemen and three deteotives were detailed at the tent aud 13 arrests had been jnade previous to the 20th, and four more scheduled for that day. Chicago can pat herself on the baok over het election of a mayor. His being in office doubtless ac counts for the action obtained! "higher up." On being interviewed Rev. Moore expressed satisfaction over the outlook, laying he believed the polioe had the matter well in hind at this time. A guard of seven policeman has been estab lished indefinitely. Rev. Moore in speaking of the erroneous report that The Menace was baok of the movement, said he wished to brand that statement as a lie, dot because he was asham ed of that paper bat that he Was speaking uudr the auspices of the Association and not connected with any paper. He declared that "we have met with the most out rageous treatment and the worst of it is that fathers and mothers are urging their children to com mit violence toward us." , Dr. Moore stated he had evi dence that the people are saying, "That is a Catholic neighborhood and we want none of the Protes tant gosoel." Thus the world is given some idea of what the Unit ed 'States would enjoy in the way of religious liberty if-Rome ruled the whole roost. All the arrests made are of mem bers of St. Mary s Roman Catho lic Churoh. The trial on Friday lesulted in nine being out on pro-' bation. One of the criminals failed to appear claiming typhoid fever. A friend appeared for one of the arrests, a man 85 years old, offering to furnish an entirely new tent if Rev. Moore would drop the cases. He would not. Rome should have to shoulder the re suits of her teachings. aires Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't CursT t wont cues, no matte of iiiw fotqr standing:, re carca'btbe wottd-tful, old reliable Or, fortVB Antiseptic Hetiin OiL It relirrea fasaawa Heala at the mwh rime. Oat of tbt Medical Waidirs af A Worlfl'SafsDr.WillardHBtcliiBKS. Dr. Willard Hutohings j chief surgeon of the Pere Marquartte Railroad, and, whose home is in Detroit, arrived here yesterday aboard the Ornuna of the Canard line. At the St. Regis', where ha is stopping, Dr. HutohiDgs told some of his experience in Ger many, France, England, Switzer land and Italy, where he has been traveling for the last six ' months. His main idea in going abroad was to study 16okjaw, -but ! soon after his arrival in Europe he discovered that the 'prophylactic use of serum had practically ob literated tetanns. "It is one of the medical won ders of the war," said Dr. Hutoh iDgs. "Before the war we knew a gocd deal aboat lockjaw, but now there practically is no tetanus. Every soldier has his outfit of an titetanus serum. It is. so in all armies. The soldiers in the same Way have serum for cholera and typhoid. The German's experi ences with the anti-typhoid seram has not been as good as that of the allies. They say that it is a fake, but they are wrong. The French have a wonderful new medioal applianoe in what they call' the electro magnet. If a ballet is concealed in the flesh the magnet is placed very close to the skin surface and the bullet is found by the trembling caused by the magnet.

Members of the naval board of inquiry declined to discuss wheth er the finding of so many bodies in the compartment indicated the nature of the accident which caus- ed the vessel to sink. It was suggested ' by some of thosd working on the 'submarine that an explosion elsewhere in the vessel caused the men to seek 'efuge in the engine room.
