HORSE KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Just before the storm which cov
ered this vicinity last. Saturday eve
ning, and which was accompanied by
such a downpour of rain, the light
ning was vivid and . flashes seeming
ly covered the whole sky, accompa
nied by peels of thunder, the sky
looked very threatening. A valuable
horse, owned by Mr. ('. F. Vallery
and-which he had in the pasture
not. far from bis home, was strtick
and killed by lightning. The horse
had been purchased not long ago at
a price of $200. An insurance policy
was carried on the animal, which
will practically remunerate him for
its loss. While the getting of a por
tion of the value of the horse it:
money is a god thing in case of Ios.;.
it does not open a way for the pur
chase of another animal, which ;j

Herbert C
Hoover was laying the ground work
for a vigorous assault, beginning the
first of the week on the strongholds
of the wheat speculators in the coun
try. The agricultural department
has already launched a nation-wide
survey to determine actual food need
and the amount of supplies. Ad
mitting a shortage of 250,000.000
bushels of wheat looms ahead, far
reaching steps are to be taken to
conserve the supply. Available sup
plies in other countries also arc be
ing inquired into.
The shipping board, having ap
proved today great contracts for ad
ditional tonnage both wood and
steel began preparation of estimates
for nearly a billion dollars iiiore
from this congress. At this time it
was officially admitted that the requi
sition of vessels flying the American
flag already has begun. The first of
the vessels being taken over by the
government are to be used for the
transport of the supplies for the U.
S. camps in Europe.
Some delay threatens in moving
the national guard south for train
ing. Guard camps scheduled to open
August 15, will not be ready for from
two to four weeks after that date.
A detailed report submitted to the
war department today shows that
only one camp Greenville, S. C
is ready. Advance detachments have
been sent there to pitch camp.
Postponement of guard training
makes it almost certain a majority
of these troops will not see service in
France before spring. Some, how
ever, will go to France this fall.
Reports gathered from all conton
ments by the United Press today in

for the new national army, the first

RUSSIA GETTING
ON FIRMER SOIL
Drastic Steps Taken by Government
to Strengthen Her Foundation.
Washington, Aug. 12. Russia is
taking drastic steps to strengthen
her military, financial and interna
tional situation, the Russian embassy
here announced today.
Premier Kerensky has issued anj
other order to all Russian comman
ders to Fraie no efforts, however
rigorous, to eliminate treason and
cowardice from the army.
The Russian government will is
sue orders to nil Rusian consular
agents in the United States to re
strict importations to Russia. The
reason for the orders given by the
embassy, is that promiscuous buying
of goods destined for Russia has serv
ed to demoralize, the exchange of
commodities and lower the value of
the Russian ruble.
The Russian Liberty loan is meet
ing with great success, the embassy
announced.
Many regiments are subscribing to
the loan.
Russia has abolished the office of
procurator of the holy synod. Instead
a ministry of religious cults has
been created. M. Kartasheff has been
appointed to fill the post. This is
regarded as an important internal
reform in the direction of religious
tolerence.

Summer Complaint.
During the hot weather of the sum
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it is of the greatest im
portance that this be treated prompt
ly, which can only be done when the
medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F.
F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., states, "I
first used Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five
years ago. At that time I had a se
vere attack of summer complaint and
was suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results."
