ENTERPRISING CITIZENS BAGHE'S REVIEW OF TRADE P.g-JJL.'.'.': THE OTTOWAY Presents TODAY "THE GODDESS" That Great Serial TUESDAY "The Moth and the Flame" Clyde Fitch's Powerful Drama. Clyde Fitch's World-Famous Drama, "The Moth and the name, m Powerful Screen Presentation. "The Moth and the Flame," the ereatest of all the celebrated plays by the gifted dramatist, Clyde Fitch, has been produced with remarkable effect by the Famous Players Film Company, and is the current feature attraction at the Ottoway Tuesday. , The play made such a definite suc cess when produced on the stage that the screen translation of the powerful plot is certain to attract; wide interest. The moth is Marion Molton, a fashion able .but very lovable girl in New York, who is in love with Edward Fletcher, though she is warned by her friends' of his character. Woman like, she defends and loves him all the more because of the many enemies who speak against him, and again womanlike, openly declares , she does not . believe the stories of his past, and secretly tells herself that even if they are true she knows that she can reform him. She is about to marry him, when another young woman with a child presents herself at the wed ding ceremony, and claims the name of the man. The moth is blinded, by the flame, so that she cannot see the perils threatening her. The moth sees her danger, ' however, just in time to avert it, and with the extinguishment of the flame, the moth, though her wings are singed, still manages to fly Lto safety and rescue ner soul from the devouring fire. ; ; The production ;is - mounted richly and in good taste, and throughout the i dignity and artistry of the Famous Players are conspicuously evident. Render Great Blessings to Our Townspeople. Will Make .Free Distribution of Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills. Our leading druggists have just com pleted arrangements with Professor Munyon- to get his medicines direct from the Laboratory so that there is no possibility of receiving stale or imitation goods. Besides, they have secured from him an agreement where by he will refund the money in ev ery instance where the remedies do not do all that he claims for them, thus protecting the people against loss or imposition. . He is especially desirous that every rheumatic, no matter how chronic the case may be, gets a 25c bottle of his .'Rheumatism Remedy. These little pellets as a rule limber up swollen and stiff joints and take away -sharp shooting pains- before one vial has been finished. Munyon's Rheumatism Remedy has probably cured more cases of rheumatism than any other remedy ever compounded. They cure I quickly because they neutralize the uric acid and drive out an rneumauc poisons from the system. He asks every person who considers their case incurable, to test this remedy and if they are not satisfied with results their money will be refunded. He also calls special attention to Munyon's Paw-Paw Laxative Pills that are proving to be such a wonderful friend . to the liver, stomach and nerves. Paw-Paw Pills are unlike any other laxative. They stimulate the liv er into activity, they strengthen weak ened and debilitated stomachs, and they are almost an infallible cure for constipation. He wants every person that suffers with Indigestion in any form, and all those who are bilious, whose food sours on their stomach, who are distressed after eating, who are nervous and don't sleep, who are weak and despondent, to test these Pills. In order that everybody may try them before buying he has sent to each of the druggists 200 packages to be given away absolutely, free. If you have anything the matter with your liver, stomach, nerves, or blood, step into any one of the drug stores named below and ask for a free pack age of Paw-Paw Pills. Remember that arrangements have been made where by all of Munyon's Remedies are for sale at these stores, and that they are received fresh from the Laboratory with all their curative qualities. The following stores are carrying Munyon's goods: J. S. Blake Drug Co., on the Square, Charlotte, N. C. Sheppard's Drug Store, Charlotte, N. C. Hospital Supply & Drug Co., 40 S. Tryon, Charlotte, N. C. Beatty Company, Latta Arcade, Charlotte, N." C. Adv-3t NEGROES CONFESS TO MURDER. 3fll ! By Associated Press. Montgomery, Ala., June 28.

( By mail to New York.) Thrilling experiences during the fighting of the Canadians around Ypr.es are related in the following let ter received by relatives here of Cor poral E. Chadwick: "After the battle of Ypres German dead were piled high in front of our trenches. Bodies .were buried inside our dug-outs. One German was sus pended on the barbed wire, holding his rifle, at the ready. When we were re lieved we sang with joy. "A Belgian nurse and a soldier were singing a duet in a cafe, and my pal and myself and one or two of our transport were singing 'Roaming-in the Gloamin'," when, all at once, the win dow, came in and a house in the street went up in the air. The people shut up shop and ran for their lives. I saw a woman with a baby in her arms. I took the baby from her, and my pal ran along pushing a barrow with.hef only belongings. After a time Algerian- troops - came: running from the firing line, most of them 'gassed.' . "Then we knew the Germans had broken through, and our regiment was called out again. Ammunition had to be taken through the inferno, and as we went along, -the only sounds to be heard were dashing transports, moans, and everw now and then a big crash made with a shell. We arrived at the trenches. O. K. and got digging our selves in. . The Germans sent 'Jack Johnsons,' and coal-boxes on to us and gases until we were cut up, and the Germans advanced on us in thou sands. -We stuck to our ground until the company on our right hadn't an officer left and the machine guns were blown up. Then we were ordered to retire, as reinforcements were at hand. I crawled along a stream, and once or twice was up to my waist, and felt ready to let them do their worst. "Our colonel came along and ral lied about a hundred 'of us, composed of Canadian kilties and various Cana dian regiments, and made us line a road, which we did until English re inforcements came, -v "For three days we held a German army corps. It all seems like a night mare now, and I have more than once thanked God for my safe delivery, and I still pray to Him night and day. One of our sergeants said he saw the Ger mans bayoneting the wounded, as he left the trenches. Our machine gun officer, before he was killed, must have accounted for a thousand men. Fire in . Mississippi Town. . By Associated Press. . Mobile, Ala., "June 28. A special from Laurel, Miss., says that the Lau rel theatre was destroyed by lire Sun day night from the drbpping of a lighted cigarette in a trash barrel. '. Expectant " "What were you doing, so long at the photographer's?" "Merely awaiting developments" New York, June 2S. The : French loan here achieved materialzation-this wreek through the announcement by J. P. Morgan & Co. that the Rothschilds of Paris had arranged to borrow in this market for a period of one year, a considerable . amount of money, the proceeds of which the Rothschilds wil make available to the French Govern ment here for payment for its commer cial obligations in this cpuntry. This loan is to be secured by high-grade. American railway bonds. The secur ity for the initial loan which, it is said, will amount to $30,000,000, will be a part of .the Pennsylvania . 3 1J2 per cents, which were placed in Paris in 1S06, and of the St. Paul 4s, placed there in 1910 and issued in terms of francs. Being issued in such . terms, these bonds are not available at pres ent for sale on the stock exchange here. The present, lean will undoubt edly "be followed .by other and larger amounts as the securities are collected by the Paris bankers. Probably be cause the amount is not large enough to yet affect materially the present exchange situation, " the quotation for francs did not stiffen on the announce ment, but declined instead.. It has been estimated that France will this year purchase $400,000,000 m war supplies . here.. The Great English Loan. Financial operations are vast in size and conceived in the highest cour age these days, as is evidenced by the great British war loan, authorized by the House of Commons this week. This is unlimited in. amount except as required to pay for .the war for a year and to provide for conversion of the old British debt. The new loan is to draw 4 1-2. per cent, and have the priv ilege under certain conditions, con verting their old securities into 'the new ones bearing 4 i-2 per cent. The conditions are that holders of the old debt in order to exchange, must sub scribe to an equal amount of the new debt, and, in fact, must pay cash for the new loan before 'they can 'convert an equal amount of , the old. Ttius the holders of $3,000,000,000 worth of British Consols bearing 2 1t2 per cent, and seiling around 65 (or minimized at that figure) and the hold ers of around $2,500,000,000 of the re cent war issues at 3 1-2 to 3 3-4 per cent, are protected against further de preciation in ' the loans they already hold, which depreciation would normal ly follow the raising of the rate on the new loans above that offered for the old. If the old debt were completely con verted it would require around $5,000, 000,4)00, and the year's war is estimat ed to require $5,000,000,000 more. Great Britain's debt thus will, rise from around $3,500,000,000 as of a year ago, to around $10,000,000,000, as of a year from now. These figures, like the events of the day, are colossal nd unprecedented in the history of the world, and, too, also like these events, are. for destruction i instead of construction, as . far as prop erty, and lives are concerned., In the great scheme of the "Universe," how ever, out of Destruction and De'ath, may arise Light and Life, not for this generation, alas, but for the. world's far future. ' 1 Some explanation of an English loan not having been arranged to be placed here in the face of the fall of the exchange rate on London during, the past week or two,, may perhaps be found in the effect which the great English loan is having upon rates of interest there and of the quotations for English exchange here. These ef fects began to be distinctly visible, on Thursday, when London's discount rate had amounted to 1-1-2 per cent, above the low level of last week and when exchange on London had risen five-eighths above the record low of last Saturday. ... And so it becomes evident that the exchange situation was not to be allow ed to drift as has-seemed possible in the last week or two, but that the whole matter had been astutely fore seen and arranged for. Sinking ex change rates here meant higher prices to be paid by England, but this was not to be neglected. The provisions of the British loan and the effectual working of them- are producing the results desired. Evidently, -also, to help the quota tions of exchange on London here, it had been calculated that , the induce ments and conditions of offering would cause some selling from .there of our securities, which would further bolster rates on London. This, too, is working out, and sales in the last two or three days have been increasing, having much to do with sagging quotations in our market. . These various factors- should, help the English bank statement, - which shows this week a loss of gold of $11, 800,000, with ratio of reserve at 18 7-8 per cent. The Bank of France gain ed $1,190,000 gold for the week. This makes $4,000,000 gold gained since the Bank sent $40,000,000 to the Bank of England in May, and may marc some method adopted to draw into, the Bank some of the. hoarded gold, of which France has vast amounts. Such measures were taken at the beginning of the war by the Imperial Bank of Germany, with marked success, ,as shown by its constantly large increas: ing gold holdings up to within a very recent date, and o.such an extent that it is calculated that the supply of hoarded gold in Germany is now about exhausted. . Governor Siaton. The Review does not discuss poli tics except as they affect the financial situation, but we do not hesitate to ex press warm approval of and admira tion for the action of Governor Siaton in commuting the Frank sentence. We believe that Governor Slaton's action , is of . the, kind that elevates both his , state and the country and that instead : of destroying his political , aspirations, as he expected, it puts him in line for high preferment. We believe that he is made of sena torial timber and that his state can do itself no higher honor than to nom inate and elect him the next senator from- Georgia. ; r , 0 We need in Washington men with the courage, to follow the dictates of their consciences arid of their -best judgment,. regardless of the clamor, of patijaipnprejudico, Ii-will be a great day -t for, the United States when both Houses in Washington are controlled by men of the type and cal ibre of Governor Siaton. , The War and the Market. The progress of ...the war in itself has had no accentuated effect upon the market-. The varying incidents with any bearing on the situation between Germany and the United States, have been watched with interest. These are construed, some of them- favorably and others not, for a final peaceful settlement. The action of the German government in both allowing favorable consideration of our claims in some newspapers in : Germany and in - sus pending publication of one of the rabid anti-American Journals there, is evi dence showing that most careful con sideration is being- given the reply. On the other hand, the pursuit by a sub marine at the mouth of the Mersey of one of the larger passenger steamers carrying many American citizens and its escape, reveals apparent indiffer ence to the outcome on tne part of Germany. The market has not been greatly affected by' the Russian re verses. The reasoning is, that Russia, is like a great sea of human reserves, and while the German brooms . may sweep it back for a time, immediately upon their withdrawal or cessation jn activity the sea will sweep back again undiminished. Russia has-been strug gling for a warm seaport, - without which a great nation is in fetters, for a hundred years. Her great opportunity is now. at hand with England, France and Italy to help her. . The Week 'n the Market. The week started with considerable hopefulness on the stock exchange, but several movements have developed which -have caused prices to decline. The most potent of these,- and always the most potent in any kind of a mar ket, is an increase in the supply of stocks and bonds beyond the point of quick absorption. This has been brought about this .week by European selling, most of it probably induced by the provisions of the . large English loan and by the sentiment produced by its higher rate, indicating a proba bility of larger, returns, from new se curities from now on and consequent lower prices for securities with fixed interest rates. This applies more, for the time being, to bonds than , stocks The cropping up of foreign selling may be interestingly traced in the daily reports of bond transactions on the . Stock Exchange, where the sig nificant ,"S-2".. and VS-30" shows that the seller has 20 : or 30- days, as the case may be, to deliver the securities sold. Occasionally a domestic, seller, for one reason or , another, takes ad vantage of this provision for belated delivery, but not often, and nearly all such sales indicate that the security in question is booked for a trip-across the ocean. But the securities, espe cially bonds,, sold for foreign account do not all, by any means, pass through the. Stock Exchange in fact, a large proportion is nearly always ne gotiated at private sale. Also, large amounts of foreign-owned American se curities are held here for their own ers, and if sold,- do not have to take the "S-20" trip, but are delivered the following day , in regular course. Until this foreign selling largely due to the British loan, is completed, prices will have to lie low, as, while the va riety of issues held abroad is limited, they are of such a class as to affect the entire. market. , - - Among stocks, the issues sold from abroad this week in larger volume were Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and U. S. Steel. The. selling was pyramided in its pro gress beginning on Tuesday and grow ing larger each day. Canadian Pacific sold lower than at any time since 1908. Talk of reduction in its dividend rate, in addition to foreign selling. had something to do with these sales., At the same time, this may become one of the war stocks, as.it is report ed that the company is -turning out thousands of shells a month at its An gus shops, and . machinery is being in stalled that will enable doubling the output in a" few weeks.- -It is further said that the whole of the ' other plants of the railway through Cana da, are turning their attention to the manufacture of: war material, and that in three or four month ts the Canadian Pacific will be producing more war material than any other single corpo ration in Canada or, the United States. J. S.-BACHE & CO. VON . 'REVENTL'OW CONTINUES HIS ATTACK ON CHANCELLOR. Berlin, June 28. Count von Reventlow, whose j attacks upon the German Chancellor for al leged conciliatory handling of the American situation caused the tempor ary suspension of The Tages Zeitung today renewed his criticism of govern ment leaders. , . Reventlow's tone was more mild but he took official heads, to task "for giving so much, consideration to Amreica's views."
