FOURTH SERIES SALISBURY, Ni C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER lirH, 1916. Wm. H, STEWART, ED. AND PROP. GERMAN SUBMARINE GETS SIX SHIPS. Had a Goad Day of it Near the American Csast. Boston, Oct. 8. A submarine of the Imperial German Navy, ravaged shipping- off the cistern coast of the United States today. Four British one Dutch and ne Norwegian steamer were sent to the bottom or left crippled derelicts off Nantucket Shoals. Tonight under the light of the hunter's moon the destroyer flot ilia of the United States Atlantic fleet was picking up passengers and crews of the destroyed ves sels and bringing them into New port, R. I. Sofar as known there was no loss of life although . at a late hour the crew of the British steamer Kingston had not been accounted for. A submarine held up the American steamer Kansan, bound from New York for Genoa with steel for the Italian govern ment, but later on establishing her identity allowed the American to proceed. The Kansan came into Boston harbor late tonight for her usual call here. The submarine is believed to he the U-53, which paid a call to Newport yesterday and disappear ed at sunset Some naval men, liowtver, declared that at least rtwo submarines are operating close to the American shore though outside the three-mile limit. v Newport, R. I.. Oct. 8. The British steamer Stephano, bound from St. Johns, N. F., to New York, carrying nearly 100 first and second cabin passengers in cluding many American tourists, was sunk off Nantucket lightship at 4:30 p. m. today, presumably by the German submarine U-53. The United States torpedo-boat destroyer Balch reported the loss of the liner by radio to the naval station here, stating that the s iip had been torpedoed. The massage from the destroyer said that the crew was safe abroad the Balch. but made no mention of the passengers who, it was thought here also were taken care of. Washington, Oct. 8 -Submarine "warfare at the very doors of the United States does not necessarily portend further complications with Germany so long as it is carried on within the limitations of international law. That is the view of official Washington tonight on the ccord of one day's operations in which none of the ships destroyed ap pears to have been attacked with out warning or without proper measures having been taken for safety of those abroad. While in international law an Allied ship destroyed by a Ger man submarine just outside the three-mile lhnit and in sight of American shores, is no different than a ship destroyed in the Arc tic Ocean, provided its destruction . is accomplished in accordance with the laws of Nations and humanity, the presence of a Ger man submarine flotilla near Am erican territorial waters, officials fear, may raise perplexing ques tions of neutrality and in fact a most serious issue would be raised if the operations of the submer sibles were carried on so near American ports as practically to constitute a blockade. At the outset of the war, when Allied cruisers hovered off New York so close that commerce was impeded, operations as practical ly a blockade, notified France and Great Britain" of its objections and the ships promptly were moved further out to sea. The possibility of a simijiar situation resulting from submarine opera tions is foreseen. Newport. R. L, Oct. 9. The wholesale raid on foreign shipping south of ' Nantucket Lightship Sunday was the work of one sub marine, according to reports of American naval officers. Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves com manding the torpedo-boat de stroyer flotilla which did such S markably speedy rescue work Catholic Voting Strength. gan, is authority for the state-1 ment that there are 24,922 062 j Roman Catholics in the entire United States, while the last cen sus says there are about 14,000, COO, a difference of nearly 11,000,- 0G0. An eminent preacher refer ring to a papal claim that there we're 16,000,000 Romanists in this country, when the census shows but 14,000,000, recently made the remark that evidently Catholics count all that are on deck, and in the cabin as well. If there are 25.000,000 Roman Catholics in the United States the govern ment should know it. The Pilot further says that 16,654,109 of these are actual residents of the United States, besides probably a floating po pulation of 1,656,410, and that the balance of the 25.000,000 are in Alaska, the Canal Zone, Guam Samoa the Philippines, Porto Rico, etc. The Romanist statis ticians would have us believe that all the men in these 25,000,000 have votes. That is all except about one-half. Included in" the latter are the Filipinos, Guamese, Samoans, Indians, Mexicans, pa pal unnaturalized foreigners of many races convicts, unnaturally ed priests, etc. Yet it is pointed out that despite all these 25,000 -000, the actual gain last year was 250,000 or 1 per cent. Papist politicians and Romanist statisticians are some bluffers when, as in presidential cam paign years, it seems desirable to impress party managers and custodians ol the campaign funds with the strength of the Catholic vote, which is more or less my thical.

Salisbury people endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. You can rvly on their statements. Mrs. J. E. Ingram, 327 IS Kerr street Salisbury, says: "For five years I was under the doctor's care for inflammation of the blad der and disordered kidneys. My back was weak and I could hardly get about I had a burning sen sation across my loins. My ki l neys were inactive and the kidney secretions caused me annoyance. My head ached and I was so dizzy that I rlmost fell. Spots floated before my eyes. The doctors couldn't give me relief and I be gan taking Doan's Kidney Pills.

Y, yesterday said tonight that the reports of all his officers agreed that to the best of theii- obseeva tion one raider only was concern ed. This boat presumably was the German U-53, which called at Newport Saturday. Admiral Gleaves said be could easily understand the positive statements of the captain of the Nantucket lightship and of sailors of he torpedoed vessels that more than one submarine was concern ed. The U-boat he said was very fast and appeared to have been handled cleverly. It was easy, he pointed out, for her to disappear on one side of a ship and then show up unexpectedly at aL ther spot. Doubtless, he believed, she had submerged and reappeared often enough to mis lead any but a keen profesfional j observer and to create the im- pression that' more than one sea 1 terror was operating. SCRIBES CANT DECIDE ON CANDIDATE. Rome's Political Writer Fails to Find Consola tion in Stand of Either Hughes or Wilson. Discussing politics in general and Messrs. Wilson and Hughes in particular, the pope's Tablet of Brooklyn, issue of Sept. 9.. ob serves: "In the country at large. Ah! Ahl again. "Of course, there's Wilson. There has been, for some time. There's Mexico, Hutera and Wil son's Righteous Indignation Villa and Rape, Carranza and Murder! But fortunately, we have never intervented, or de manded that our Flag be saluted, or bad any of our soldiers killed, or other peaceful citizens con demned to "The Border" for the Lord, and perhaps William Bay ard Hale and John Lind, knows what. No, none of these things, it's just Mexico, and arms and their embargo. "And then there's Hughes! Ah! Ah!-again! This "again" business would be monotonous, were we voters intelligent. For tunately for the vote-gatherers we are not. "But Hughes! Ah! Ah! Where Moses struck in strophes the rock and failed, Joshus will take up the leadership unto thePromised Land! "Promised land of what? Of course, the promised land that's paved with votes. Wilson has failed. One does not have to live eight hours in a labor union's diurnal twenty-four, to realize that. But what of Hughes? What has he done? What has he promised? What has he gua ranteed? "His progress in vote-getting was vituperative. He has attack ed Wilson and Democrats. He has done nothing- else. He has, since his nomination as before, offered nothing constructive This 4 strong" man, of whom, much was foolishly expected, has said nothing, done nothing, save to be photographed for the hair line. Unwhiskered Wilson has beaten him to that' Here indeed is an illuminating essay on candidates Wilson and Hughes. It is plain to be seen that the pope's political scribe on the Tablet finds Wilson's Mexi can attitude very distasteful, but Oft! My! What a wonderful col lection of things Mr. Hughes does lack! What an array of promises he has failed to make. Failed to make promises to Rome's Jesuitical schemers, just as he has failed to make any avowed definite public or private promises to the patriots. What a shame that he has guaranteed nothing to Rome! What a shame that this 'strong man of whom much was foolishly expected has done nothing and said nothing since his nomination, or before." If Mr. Hughes is not careful, Rome will have to find another candidate upon whom to center her hopes to lead her into the promised land of A.merica made "dominatly Catholic." Will Wil son, who has displayed the Ro mish grafters by refusing to shoot at their back and nod in Mexico, be chosen? The Menace. For a Muddy Complexion.

Mrs. Lee Mar tin, formerly Miss Daisy Lacky, returned today from Chase City, Va.,obtained the release of her father from jail and after fcigni fying her choice to live with her husband to whom she married ten days ago in South Carolina, hastened away to their future home at Fallston. The quite Sun day afternoostwas made a rather ex2iting occasion, for this case has been hanging fire for several days and no little interest has been aroused. When the bride tore away from her objecting father. and rushed into the arms of her newly wedded husband, at the home of Alderman Orlando Eam, a crowd of ladies clapped their hands in approval of the reunion of the couple. The street in front of the Elam home was crowded with spectators but there was no demonstration other i than that coming from the ladies. Ten days ago the 17-year-old Daisy Lackey and Lee Martin j ran away to South Carolina and were married over the protest of her father, Hill Lackey, of Fall ston. On hearing his girl had been secreted away, Lackey ob tained a writ of habeus corpu? and officers went in search. The father found the couple on the. road returning from South Caro lina after the marriage ceremony had been duly performed and I there procured possession of his daughter. Whether she Joined her father by force or in obedi ence to her wish, is a question which will havej contradictory, witnesses in c0urt, but this com plicated matters. The father carried his newly married daughr to OlMwejC4tx Va., and left her at the home of Dr. W. A. Bess, formerly of Lin coln county. In order to make sure she was there Mr. Martin, the groom, and his" sympathizers sent friends to Chase City to de termine the manner in which she was being held and brought back word that she was under strict guard. After she was secreted away young Martin had issued a writ of habeas corpus, demanding thai the father produce the bride before his honor, Judge James L. Webb, at this place last week. This the father did not do, at torneys representing Mr. Lackey claiming that the girl was beyond the jurisdiction of the court The iudge held, however, that she was under control of her father, that he was in the State and therefore, the girl was within the jurisdiction of the court; so the father was commanded to have ijer here on Saturday. This he failed again to do and Mr Lackey was placed in jail for contempt of court, there to remain until the bride returned. After her return he was to be placed under $2,000 bond for ap pearance with the girl at a hear ing to be set later. The father was taken to jail Saturday after noon and a message immediately flashed over the wires to Chase City for her to return. Young Martin went to Char lotte to watch and wait for her and together they came in on the Seaboard at noon, the bride ac companied by Mrs. Bess. Mrs. Martin went to the home of Al derman Elam, who telephoned Judge Webb to know what to do. In the meantime the father had been released and was at the, home, the groom was there and , a crowd of spectators had assem- bled with Sheriff W. U. Lackey aud Cuief Jetton on hand to quite any disturbance that might arise Judge Webb told Mr. Elam not to hold the girl but let her choose between father and husband. The father was attempting to take her by force when Deputy Lackey broke his grip and the girl rushed to the arms of her husband and together they sped away in an automobile. The hearing was not had today .for the reason that it was Sunday , Fractures Skull in Fall From Auto. Statesville, Oct. 6. William F.
