Now York.?To have crossed th<
North Atlantic 326 times In full com
taand of a great liner laden with pre
lous freight and more precious Uvei
would appear to the landsman as i
oareer teeming with excitement ant
danger. And yet, to bear that grlulec
veteran of the seas. Captain District
Hoegemann, about to retire from ac
Oce service with the North Oermai
Lloyd, one might gather the impres
ton that the life of the commandei
of a "Schnelldampfer"?as the Oer
ruins persist in calling a beautiful ax
press steamer like the Kronprlnsesslx
Cacilie?was about as thrilling as con
ducting a party of sightseers through
the Aquarium.
"The lives of sea captains today ar?
monotonous." said Captain Hoege
tnnnn "nrirl tho pinnrionrna thev ro
through, while, perhaps, thrilling to
the landsman, are a matter of almost
daily routine. Fair weather or foul,
tog, hurricane. Ice or blue galea?they
are all commonplace. We have our
work to dc and these obstacles merely
make that work a little more difficult.
That is all there Is to It."
Captain Hoegemann when the Cecil
le noses Into her dock at Bremen
Will take his papers and the precious
aatographed photos that adorn his
oabln walls and bid good-by to the sea.
He will retire on a handsome pension,
after thirty-four years' service with
the North German Lloyd and forty-flve
years at sea.
At the age of 60 he Is the same staW
wart, erect, active figure that vsed to
pace the bridge of the old ;teamer
Strasburg In 1891. when the company
gave him his first command.
With his retirement the German
Lioyd loses the officer of whom It Is
most proud and the transatlantic service
will miss one of the most efficient
and kindly dignitaries who ever stood
ft thirty-slx-hour storm watch on the
bftdge or chucked a passenger's
youngster under the chin.
Hoegemann took to the Bea as naturally
as the proverbial duck to water.
Not only was his father, Johann
Hoegemann. an old sea dog and officer
on the ancient tub Union, but for generations
back on both the father's and
mother's sides the present Hoegemann
's ancestors had been lineal descendants
of Neptune.
It was therefore to be expected that
when Hoegemann'B father attempted
to break the chain and turn his
youngster Into a bank clerk the lad
rebelled and skipped away to sea botore
the mast on a big sailing vessel
plying the trades to the Orient.
It was at the end of this first voyage
that young Hoegemann bumped Into
the Franco-Prussian war. His ship,
knowing nothing of the stirring events
that had taken place since she sailed
from China, for Bremen, was Innocent
nough to bolst the German flag wboc
ft French warship hove In sight off
the Bay of Biscay.
In an hour or so the French B&llors
were in charge of the German trader
and Hoegemann and his fellows were
prisoners.
In 1879 he was at the Navigation
School to pass an examination and get
an officer's certificate, after which he
Joined the North German Lloyd. As
both officer and commander HoegeBUinn
has made about 500 trips across
the North Atlantic.
Government Maps.
It may be of interest to touring autotnobilists,
bicyclists and even suffragette
"hikers" to know that the government
will furnish at the trifling
cost of 5 cents accurate maps of all
sections of the country east of the
Mississippi river. These maps each
Cover a section about 20 miles square,
and, as they are nearly two feet
square, they have a scale of about an
Inch to the mile. On this scale every
road and byroad can be readily distinguished.
Prominent houses along
the highways are set out, as well as
every stream and branch.
A feature that Is specially desirable
is the system of contour lines which
copiously cover the maps These
show the varying elevation, there being
a distance of 50 feet elevtion between
each line. One may thus choose
between two roads leading to his destination,
selecting from the slightest
inspection of the map the one showing
the least hills
These maps are kept for sale in the
ofBoes of the geological survey, on F
street between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets northwest. The price
Just covers the cost of lithographing.

Special to The News,
i Kershaw. July 28.?The day set
for the laying of the corner stone of
the Midway school building was a
model day for such an occasion.
People began gathering early and it
i was conservatively estimated that
there were fully 1,500 people on the
ground.
' Everything was ready and waiting
for the entertainment and comfort
of the people. Mr. M. C. Gard?
ner of Flat Creek Jr. O. TJ. A. M. and
i- superintendent of Flat Creek Sunday
K school, was made chanirman of the

tween the old and new school building
then before him. saying the old
one was "up-to-date" in it's time, but
1 that its time had passed. Rev. T. A.
* Dabney was introduced on behalf of
i the Sunday schools, not of a few, but
in general, as usual and as was exi
pected he made a strong plea for the
. Sunday schools, for temperance, for
, harmony and anything pertaining to
( a common betterment.
Rev. W. S. Gardner made a good
' speech on behalf of the Daughters
1 of America, an organization with
' insurance features for the ladies,

Creature Thrives on Pine Needles?
May Kill Trees.
Greenville Special to Charleston
News and Courier, July 27.?A worm
which devours the needles of the
pine tree and appears to flourish
upon this strange diet, is the unusual
find of Mr. J. T. Spearman, a farmer
living near this city. Mr. Spearman
says he has consulted some of the
"oldest citizens" and none of them
have any knowledge of any living
creature?excepting a "billy" goat
?which will eat pine tree needles.

iosity, and was exhibited here today
in one of the store windows.
The worm is nearly white, of a
pale greenish tinge, and is abotit an
inch long. Several pieces of pine
tree, covered with the worms, show
that the creatures have made an excellent
job of ridding the tree of its
leaves, for the twigs are stripped
clean of the projecting needles. Under
an attack from a number of these
worms, it is believed that not even
the hardy pine could long survive,
and if the worms multiply, it is feared
that they may create considerable
ravages among the pine trees of that
section of the county.

New York.?Women become militant

the mayor in an interview he gave at
City hall.
The mayor believes that if all the
women make up their minds they want
to vote they will vote, and the men
may as well understand it first as last
But the great weakness of the women's
cause is that they do not all stand
together Some of the mayor's trenchant
remarks on the question are:

"The English suffragettes who are
committing crimes would be locked up

in the case."

The Money in the Crop nnd a Boston
Paper's l<lea of It.
I Christian Science Monitor.
In 1911 the United States raised a
cotton crop of over 16,000,000 bales
i as against 11,500,0.00 bales in 1910
, and 10,000,000 bales in 1909. This
crop broke 'all records and although
, it seemingly oversupplied the market,
the prices obtained were ir. the
' main good. In 1912 the production
1 was over 14,000,000 bales, but the
smaller crop brought a cash return .
of simething like $100,000,000 in I
, excess of that received for the larg- ,
er. This indicated, among other
i things, that the market was not ac- i
. tually overstqcked by the record 1'
1 crop, but that it lacked facilities for I
absorbing it. At all events the plant- I
' ers were not deterred from increas- j,
ing the acreage this year and gov- .
' ernment statistics show that the
1913 yield will in all probaility ex-I
ceed 15,000,000 bales. Should July
I and August prove favorable to the
staple, the crop of this year will
bring the cotton production of the
Southern states for the three years
up to at least 45,000,000 bales.
What does this mean in money
value? It is but a reasonable ex- ,
pectation that an average price of 11 <
cents a pound for the producer will
be obtained this year. This would j
bring the value of the growing crop
to the farmer up to $825,000,000. ^
exclusive of the seed, or about $900,- ,
000,000 in all. Taking 1913 as the ]
average year of the period, the total |
value of the raw cotton crop for the ,
three years would be $2,700,000,000. j
The Southern states are enjoying ,
great prosperity. The South, from ,
its enlarged income, has been able (
to provide for development mm .i...cV (
increase its productive capacity tre- ,
mendously. Among its conservative ,
people there is still a strong disposi- ,
tion to warn the planters against
continuous cotton planting, but despite
numerous predictions of fail- .
ure, the land continues to yield abun- (
dantly of the staple, and, as has been f
seen, its selling value is well maintained.
More skillful farming will (
explain one phase of this happy re- (
suit, an ever-broadening market the
other. The South, in view of its ex- J
perience in recent years, is, and has (
a right to be optimistic with regard <
to the future. It has learned severe (
lessons: its confidence is due in very ,
large part to its belief that It has t
learned them well. ?

PRESSING NEW TREATY.
With Nicaragua Granting Exclusive
Rights For Canal.
Washington, July 26.?Secretary
Bryan had another executive session
with the senate foreign relations
committee today over the proposed
Nicaraguan protectorate, but it was
said no conclusions were reached.
A special session of the committee
will be held Tuesday, at which Mr.
Bryan will appear again.
Mr. Bryan, with President Wilson's
approval, is pressing for ratification
of a treaty by which in return
for a payment of $3,000,000
Nicaragua would grant to the United
States exclusive rights to an inter
oceanic canal route, naval bases in
the Bay of Fouseca and the United
States would supervise some of
Nicaragua's affairs in the same way
it does Cuba's under the so-called
Piatt amendment.
Heads and Farm Values.
Spartanburg Herald.
The close an direct relation between
road Improvement and farm
values is clearly shown by information
given out by the department of
agriculture, which is referred to in
The Herald's correspondence from
Washington, and should be of special
interest in Spartanburg county,
where the problem of road improvement
has not yet been satisfactorily
settled. Instances are given by the
department in land values along the
line of improved roads, in some of
which the very undertaking that enhanced
the values of the road was
strongly opposed by the owners of
the lands. One Virginia farmer, who
apposed roaci lmprovfiin'iun u.? special
tax levy along; his $1,800 farm,
was shortly after the improvement
was made offered $3,000 for the same
farm?a clear Increase of 66 2-3 per
cent. The amount of the tax levy is
not given, but it probably was not
L.ore than one per cent, so that the
enormous benefit to this particular
farm is apparent.
But another thing is to be noted
n this connection. The farmer, before
the road was bettered, tried to
*eii his farm for $1,800, but could
lot. After the road was built somemo
else tried to buy his farm for
J3,000, but could not. It is plain,
herefore, that the difference between
:he quoted figures on the farm does
lot represent the farmer's total gain,
'or he sought to sell in one case and
-efused to sell in the other. In other
vords, the improved condition of the
oad, besides increasing the value of
lis land, served to dissuade him from
selling his farm and. in all probabil-'
ty, moving to the city. The improved
road, aside from giving the farm
i much higher market value, gives it
i very much greater home value,
ind serves to make farm life more
ittractive and the farmer more pros>erous
and contented. Therein,
jerhaps, is one of the highest forms
>f value created by the construction
)f better highways.
