(rmn Squadron Tried to Make An other lUitl un England, Hut wa Biscovered iinj Defeated One Ship Sent to Bottom. Lob don Dispatch, Jan. 24th. An attempt by a German cruiser squadron to repeat the recent attack on Scarborough, the Hartlepools and other British coast towns, was rrus trated today by the British patrolling squadron, and In a running light the German armored, cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two other German bat tle cruisers seriously damaged. The British ship3 suffered only slight injury. So far as is known only 123 of the Bluecher's crew of 885 were saved. A battle also occurred between the light cruisers and destroyers accom panying the bigger ships, but the re sult of that engagement has not yet reached the Admiralty. The British were superior in ships engaged, wight of armament and speed and the flight of the German . ships into the mine and submarine infested field possibly saved ' them from further losses. The Bluecher was a cruiser of 15 550 tons displacement, and although commissioned In 1908, was complete' ly re-rigged last year. She was not classed as a battle cruiser, but was in the next class to those formidable fighters. With her were the Der Singer, Germany's latest battle cruis er, which had Just left the builder's bands and the battle cruiser Seydlitz and Mottke, the latter a sister ship of the Goeben, formerly of the Gor man but now of the Turkish fleet which was recently reported damaged by the Russians in the Black Sea. The British squadron, commanded by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who was also in command at the bat tie off Helgoland, last August, con sisted of the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand, and Indomitable. The first three of these cruisers mount eight 13-5-inch guns each, and even the New Zealand and Indomitable' carry 12-Inch guns, which are equal to those of the Der- dinger, the only one of the German ships that had better than 11-inch guns. Commodore Reginald Tyrwhitt.who 'also took part in the battle off Helgo land, commanded the light cruisers and destroyers which accompanied Vice Admiral Beutty'a battle cruisers, ADVANCING ON COAST. The Germans were observed some ' time after dawn proceeding in the direction of the British coast. When they sighted the Superior British fleet they turned and made at full speed for home waters and it was on ly after a stern chase that the faster British chips got within range of them. The running battle lasted more than four hours, the firing be ing plainly heard in North Holland where it was judged the fight took place north of the Island of Amel and Schlcrmonnik-Oog. The Bluecher, which was slower than the other German cruisers, fell behind and succumbed to the heavier guus of the Lion, which was leading the British squadron. The other German ships got within the mine and submarine area, two of them in a badly damaged condition and it was dangerous for the big British battle cruiser io follow. The fact that only 11 were wound ed aboard the Lion, Indicates that the British casualties were light. It is possible that more of the Bluecher's crew were picked up by British de stroyers. The text of the statement follows: "Early this morning a British patrol ling squadron of battle cruisers and light cruisers, under Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, with a destroyer flotiila under Commodore Tyrwhitt, Hghted 4 German battle cruisers and a number of destroyers steering west ward and apparently asking for the British coast. RUNNING FIGHT ENSUES. "The enemy at once made for home at high speed. They were at once pursued and at about 9:30 a. m. ac tion was joined between the battle cruisers Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Indomitable on one side, and the Derflinger, Seydlitz, Moltke and Uleucher on the other. A well- contested running fight ensued. Shortly after 1 o'clock the Bluecher, which had previously fallen out of line, capsized and sank. Admiral Bealty reports that two other battle cruisers were seriously damaged. They were, however, able to continue their flight and reached an area where dangers from German submarines and mines prevented fur ther pursuit. "No British ships have been lota and our casualties In personnel as at present reported are slight, the Lion, which led the line having only 11 wounded and no killed. "One hundred and twenty-three survivors have been rescued from the Bluecher's crew of 885 and it is pos ble that others have been saved by some of our destroyers. No reports of any destroyer or light cruiser fight ing have yet been received at the Ad miralty, though some has apparently taken place. "Their lordships have expressed their satisfaction to Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty." All the other vessels named in the official report except the Bluecher are battle cruisers, all heavily armed and capable oj great speed. The Bluecher was an armored crui ser of 489 feet long and displacement 15,500 tons. Hor complement was 885 officers and men. She was built at Kiel in 1908 at a cost of $6,500.- 000. Her speed was a little over 26 knots an hour. She was equipped with 12 8.2-inch guns, eight 6-inch guns, 16 24-pounders and three tor pedo tubes. The Derflinger is a 28.000-ton ship - - Ipped July 1. 1914. She has eight l.-inch and 12 6-Inch guns and 12 24-pounders and five torpedo tubes There is no record available for hor speed. COTTON HAS 1XCKKASK1) VALUE. Means a Difference of Millions to the South Hence Times are Begin ning to (iet Hotter. Atlanta Dispatch, Jan. 24. Notable improvementsln business conditions in the South within the last few weeks is indicated In reports from merchants, cotton factors and bankers from all over the section The last month in particular business men assert has developed the recu perative power of the Cotton States, In all these States cotton, which was selling a few months ago for a little more than sis cents a pound, now is finding a comparatively ready market at above eight cents. Since the Government report of No vember 1, the increase of two cents a pound in the selling price of cotton, with the corresponding advance in the price of cotton seed, according to figures of the estimates of exports, has resulted in a net increase during this period of approximately $120, 000,000 in the cash value of cotton. The effect of this enhanced value, it is stated, has been felt in every line of business in the South. Conservative observers of the situ ation say that never has there been such a holding movement In the South as that noted since the opening of the present cotton season. At the outbreak of the European war, fall deliveries of cotton ranged from 12 to 13 cents a pound, which with a crop estimated at more than 16,000, 000 bales, forecast a season of re markable activity. With European markets suddenly closed and the ex changes suspended, the price abrupt ly decreased about one-half. MARKET yA9 CLOSED.- When the mills entered the market for their usual fall supply they found the market closed. Farmers refused to sell and Southern business, which depends so largely upon mov ing of the cotton crop, marked time awaiting readjustment of conditions, About December 1 Improvement be gan, owing, it-is said, to the resump tion of foreign shipments and the re adjustment and reopening of the ex change markets both at home and abroad. Today throughout the South the movement from farm to market is steadily progressing, and as a re suit, according to reliable reports, the farmers are paying their debts to the merchants for supplies, the merchants are meeting their obligations to the small banks and they in turn are settliug tlieir account with larger banks. The general business tone Is declared optimistic. THE FIGHTERS OF THE SKY. Wl ile (ioniums Are Busy Dropping Humhs tin Fivnrli Towns Their Fu nnies Retaliate. London Dispatch, Jan. 23. While German airmen on Friday morning were dropping bombs on Dunkirk, one of w hich damaged hu American consulate, two British avia tors paid a visit to Zeebrugge, dam aged a submarine and Killed or wounded the crews of the guns mounted on the mole to prevent sea attacks on that new German base. A British official report Issued to night says that apart from breaking the windows and smashing the furni ture of the American consulate, "no particular damage was done" at Dun kirk. It makes no reference to the Paris report that six persons were killed and a number wounded. It Is not known, therefore, whether the British report' covers completely the attack of the German airmen, who, according to unofficial dispatches, dropped as many as 80 bombs on the French port. One of the British aviators was Squadron Commander R. B. Davles, who recently made a night fight over Bruges, dropping bumbs on the rail way station. Prior to reaching Zee brugge, he was surrounded by seven German airmen, and although sight ly wounded, succeeded in making his flight along the coast and returning safely. "One of the 12 or 13 bombs dropped by German aviators on Dun kirk Friday fell just outside the American consulate, broke all the windows and smashed the furniture," hays the official report. "Outside of this no particular dam- nee was done. "French nnd British naval and mil itary airmen engaged the German aeroplanes. One was brought down by a British military machine just over the Belgian frontier and tho pi lot and observer were captured." Died While Digging; a (irave. Heath Springs Dispatch, 3.m 23. The liev. B. F. Car -on, who passed through here today on his way from the funeral of a Mrs. Stogner at Un- on church. In the northern section of Lancaster county, brought the news hat George MeManus, a respct ted citizen of that community, a man of about 45 years of age, died suddenly wniie assisting in digging trie grave of Mrs. Stogner. Having broken up a layer of earth with a pick In the bottoiii of the grave he came out, call ing upon others to remove it, walked to a fire nearby and expired immedi ately. WITH THE HAI.FIGH SOLOXS. Sixteen IHiy f the Session Gone I'p Till Saturday Night ami Not Slurb Done- However, Some Ducks Are Getting In a How. News and Observer, Monday. A Workman's Compensation Act and a bill taxing undeveloped water powers of the State are two surprise measures which may jump up before the startled General Assembly this wek. The word "startled" Is used advis edly, for but few of the honorable gentlemen composing the General Assembly knew that such measures were being contemplated. Besides, they believe they have troubles enough as it is. Both these measures are, of course, of vast importance, and when the news goes forth that the undevelop ed water powers of the State are to bo taxed as a separate proposition from the land, there's going to be an immediate hastening, a hurrying and a rush of interested people to Raleigh to find out what tt's all about. The Workman's Compensation Act is going to be some little trash mover. too. It will have warm friends, plen ty of them. BUT LITTLE DOING. The legislative Inactivity of the General Assembly during the past week was relieved by but two meas ures of State-wide interest the con tinuance of State aid to the railroads and the smelly fish question. ' "Legislative inactivity" is correct as regards big measures. There were the usual flood of local bills and about the same amount of oratory wasted. The joint session of the committee on Penal Institution was an interest ing, not to say at times an exciting session. The leaders of the opposing forces wero both qualified for their positions, but the railroads won out. The State will continue, unless some thing happens, to pay out between $ 400 and $500 a day in exchange fo what the opponents of the roads claim is worthless stock. Tha sltatn-U'Md Sail hill . ha (ntrv tfuced later will have a hard road to travel, as is evidenced bv that historic scrap in the House last weelc when several bills, local in their nature, were en route through the House. SIXTEEN DAYS GONE. At the close of the sixteenth day's business the last number entered in the Senate calendar was 242, with 47 bills enrolled. Iif the House they did a ifttle bet ter. The calendar there shows 376 as the number of the last bill, with 48 enrolled bills. So it will be seen that if the As sembly keeps up its present pace there will be some little number of bills discussed before they adjourn at the end of the 60 full days allowed them. The introduction of :i Joint resolu tlon limiting the present session to 40 days and thereby saving the peo pie of tho State about $23,000 was tabled in the Senate. The session of 1913 cost the tax payers something like $1,400 a day for each of the 55 working days comprising that session If this Assembly averages up about the same, the discussion of the reso lution cost about $500. While the resolution was tabled in the Senate by a narrow majority there Is but little doubt, if it had been introduced when the Legislature convened, but that it would have carried. A HEALTHY OCTOPUS. The preliminary skirmish which marks the opening of a battle royal over the insurance laws of the State, came when Representative Seawell of Lee introduced his bill extending the powers of the insurance commission er. It is extremely probable that this Assembly will grant some measure of relief to the people of a State now in the grasp of a full grown and highly developed , octopus. At least that's what some members of the Assembly calls the Eastern Underwriter's Asso ciation. And when the battle starts the members are looking for a strong in surance lobby to be present in and about the legislative halls. POLITICAL PROGRESS. The Australian ballot law has made its appearance in the House, introduced by Representative Roberts of Buncombe. What its fate will be no mere mortal man. may foretell, but it is extremely doubtful It It be comes a law In its present form. Members admit that the adoption of such a law as favored by Mr. Rob erts would be a distinct advance in the political procedure ot the State. Yet, these same gentleman wonder seriously If it will get on the statute books at this session. Along this same line Is the State wide primary bill introduced In both the Senate and the House, and which will be followed by others. The com mittee has not considered this meas ure as yet. They will take them all at one time and consider them at a joint committee meeting. They, too, all mean nn advanced political pro cedure for the State, and there is but !i:t!e doubt that some kind of. a S. ale-wide priniaty will get through. The warmest advocates othe meas ure would have its provisions apply to all parties and all offices, even in cluding county offices. It is hardly probable th bill will be so sweeping in its provisions. GALLANT ASSEMBLY. The woman suffrage question rame Into the Senate last week where it was received with all the courtesy due a measure really introduced by the ladies of North Carolina, Nov,-, don't confuse the Senatorial courtesy with real business. The bill granting the women of North Carolina the right to vote was given a kindly re ception, it is quite true, but it will not become a law of the land, just the same. The bill also was intro duced in the Hause. At one time during the pi.st week the bill allowing women to hold office as notaries public was actually a law. Then the bill was reconsidered and It is now set for special order Tuesday morning. So, ttking by and large, the Gen eral Assembly has not been very kind to the Wlies of the State during the past week. JUDICIAL MATTERS. To divide the State into two judi cial districts is a measure of intere-t to nearly every judge in the State. It will relieve the Judges of a severe hardship and will benefit the people, it is said. The bill is now in the Senate committee, having passed the House, but it is safe to forecast Its becoming a law during this week. To prevent the judges from trying their own contempt cases is now a law. This is of general interest to the judiciary and all other members of the legal profession. The Thomas bill to simplify court procedure also concerns the legal profession no less than the people. It is s,id that cut ting out some of thjs V!j which now adorn court proceeutltgs vould save the people much real coin each 12 months. TO PROTECT THE CHILD. Senator Wearer's Child Labor bill is in the hands of the Senate commit tee. Its advocates point out that if the State can afford to spend nearly ?!500 a day developing isolated spots a North Carolina, through its aid to the railroads, sorely it can afford a $6,000 appropriation to make the child labor law effective. As it is now, it Is pointed out, the law is in effective because there is no appro priation to make it effective through inspection. The appropriation asked for Is small. OTHER BILLS. The reformatory for fallen women is attracting the active and energetic support of not only members of the assembly, but of churches and socie ties throughout the State. Members of both Houses are being literally flooded with letters and petitions urg ing them to vote and work for the measure. It is hoped the bill will go into the statute books this week. The bill to; repeal the long and short bsJi"l8wa of, the Justice act i duo this week. The smaller railroads claim the present law is putting them out of business. The repeal of the law has many advocates in both branches of the assembly. THE LIQUOR DEMON. The liquor demon has not yet shown up to to amount to anything. One little locul bill has come along with a provision in it prohibiting the shipment of liquor into a county, but no State-wide measure has made its appearance. Tho State Anti-Saloon League is very much in the lobby of the House especially; The League is not yet prepared to show its hand. It is busy, very, very busy, getting a liuo on the sentiments of the honorable gentlemen of the as sembly, and when it is satified it knows their sentiments, they will in troduce their bill. Its introduction will, bo a memora ble occasion, but you may count on some effective liquor legislation late in the session. It won't be this w eek or next. The report of the Board of Inter nal Improvements placed Treasurer Lacey's office under a cross fire. To fix the weights and measures of agri cultural products and Senator Gil- more's bill to save $5,000 a year In employes' salaries, are two Intersting measures introduced last week. A business measure and one w hich would save money, it Is claimed. Is that aiming to abolish the board of directors of the several State institu tions and appoint a board of three managers in their several and many places. To compensate prisoners families by paying them a certain portion of the prisoner's earnings is a humani tarian measure. Senator Gilliam's bill to call an election on four con stitutional amendments which failed to pass at the last election Is of im portance. The bill to do away with the private examination of married women was killed in the House. That North Carolina is a good roads State was evidenced again (luring the past week by tho number ot bond bills for that purposo which were introduced. ALL IN SIGHT, So, then, nearly all the proposed State-wide legislation I allied of for this session has been introduced, and if recollection serves right, but one measure has been decided. That al lows the Stale to continue the ex change of convict h;bi r for railroad stock. The primary, child labor, suffrage, liquor, insurance, highway commis- rlon, forest conservation, all still in the fututre and the life of the as sembly Is Is drawing towards the half way mark.

As to the fun and jov and de lights of the occasion it was a brill iant success; as to the amount of cot ton picked, your correspondent has not been informed. In justice to his young friends, however, he presumes they did a plenty to that cotton. Nor did they forget their old neighbor O. P.

Perhaps It may be of interest to some of your readers to have that false rumor copied from the Wados boro Messenger and Intelligencer In the last Issue of The Journal, under the heading of "Bet, Fought, Killed and Died." Your correspondent has it from the-very best of authority that the whole statement is utterly false, except, perhaps, there might have been some betting done. My inform ant is a citizen ot Palmerville and if veil acquainted -with, the ijiccu in stances and with Mr. Green and his family whom he has seen and talked with since the rumor started. In .'hort, it was a false story Manufact ured by some mischievous person in the camp with no foundation to It ex cept that the parties, Mr. Green and Mr. liolden, had been discussing t I f matter of the President's salary for some time and perhaps had put up a wager as to who was correct. That Is a'.l there is to it, absolutely. Mr. Brady Caddy has a position in Hamlet where he can ply his tonso rial talent and profession to good ad vantage.
