AMERICAN FLAG
FOR PROTECTION
Two Freight Steamships, Convoyed
by Auxiliary Cruisers Flying
\ Stars and Stripes.
Rio De Janeiro, Jan. 22.?Two
freight steamships convoyed Dy two
auxiliary cruisers flying the American
flag, but believed to be war vessels
of some European nationality
were sighted off the coast of Rio
k Grande del Norte by persons on the
steamship Mariano, which arrived to;
, day at Pernambuco. .
The cruisers are believed by many
to be of German nationality and by
others to be British vessels defending
the merchantmen against the
German raider.
The Drina, of the Royal Mail line
whose safety was the cause of anxiety
here, reported upon arrival here
> that several days ago she received a
wireless warning of the operations
of the raider, but did not meet the
German. Captain Silord, of the
1 steamer, Netherby Hall, captured by
the raider, was landed at Pernam f
buco by the Hudson Maru. He declares
that the raider's speed was
22 miles. He says she had tteee
submarines, about.20 feet in length,
which operated by using the ship as
6 a base. *
There was much anxiety today on
the German steamships held at Pernambuco.
This gave rise to the report
that they would attempt to run
into the high seas and deliver munitions
to the mysterious raider,

MR. COX AT HOME.
>
r i R. E. Cox, Jr., as at home after
y an absence of three years in the
Philippine Islands, where he has
held a government position. He is
looking well, though he has lost his
boyish looks, and shows that he has
' been assuming the responsibilities of
a man. He returned by way of the
Suez Canal, passing through Spain,
France and other European countries.
He has seen a good deal of
the world since he left us.
k Mr. Cox is a young man of fine
r parts. He graduated from Clemson
i . College. He was reared in a business
atmosphere, and should be a business
man. His father left large
farming interests in this county
which need the attention of a capable
manager. His father's place *in
hk* hnsinpss affairs of Abbeville
sbtfOld1 be filled by a business man.
The son should be able in time to
take his place. We hope that he will
. settle amongst us, and become a part
of the business life of the city, as
his father was.
BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
Mrs. Emory Penney came home
Sunday from Dr. Pryor's hospital,
after about two months stay, having
/ had to undergo two operations. Her
many friends regret that her condi'
tion seems still unimproved, and- it
. was necessary for her to return to
I Chester Tuesday.
' - > GREGORY TO INQUIRE.
j * Postoffice Inspector Expected at
Greenville.
Greenville, Jan. 19.?A surprise in
the postmastership situation was
sprung here tonight when it was definitely
learned that H. T. Gregory,
chief inspector, had been detailed
by the postoffice department to
make an investigation of the situation
which has been created by Co^
gressman Nicholls' efforts to nave
Postmaster Traxler removed. Itwas
stated by an official that the chief
inspector would arrive tomorrow and
would proceed at once with the investigation
in connection with the
\ o office of District Attorney Thurman.
It is believed here that the order in
structing Inspector Gregory to come
oto Greenville has some relation to
'the expected sensation which was
heralded recently by news dispatches
from Washington.
GONE TO ST. LOUIS.
Mr. M. T. Coleman left Monday

Man Permanent
| Rear Admiral
McGOWAN PROMOTED TO TOP
OF PAY CORPS OVER 12
OTHERS.
Abbeville friends and acquaintances
of Sam McGowan, a cotton
buyer in Abbeville some years ago,
[will be interested in the following
announcement of his promotion to
the post of rear-admiral, which ap
peared in The State 01 rriaay:
"Sam L. McGowan, paymaster general
of the navy and chief di the
bureau of supplies and accounts, was
today nominated by the president
for the rank of permanent rSar admiral
of the senior nine, in accordance
with the naval appropriation act
of August 29, 1916, which contained
a clause creating the rank for one
officer of the pay corps of the navy.
"Mr. McGowan's home is Laurens,
where he was born September 1,
1870. He entered the pay corps of
the navy March 15, 1894, and has
risen through the successive grades
to be pay director with the rank of
captain, which he attained September
23, 1915. He has been paymaster
general with the rank, while holding
the office, of rear admiral of the
junior nine, since July 1, 1914. He
is the first naval officer to be chosen1
under the new selection method and
in securing his new place as permanent
rear admiral Mr. McGowan was
named over 12 others who outranked
him in his corps."
"POTASH ANIJ rfiKLRIUl ilk
WOULD MAKE SEXTON LAUGH
Popular 'Production Waa Ably Presented
at Academy of Music in
Charlotte Last Saturday.
"Potash and Perlmutter" would
revive the flagging spirits of a
Scrooge , and drive away Marley's
ghost;-would make a sexton laugh,
and greatest of all, bring the fact
home forcibly to anyone who saw it
at the Academy of Music, Saturday,
matinee and night, that there is a
great deal of good in human nature
even if it does take adversity to bring
it to the surface.
. The company which brought the
popular *play to Charlotte this year,
was as gqod if not better, than that
which appe|u: |^ha)pfltla8t year. Every
I person in the calrwas fully up to the
high standards set by preceding
seasons, and from the time the curtain
raised on the first act, until it
lowered on the final lines, the show
was "Potash and Perlmutter." No
more need be said.
Fred F. Fleck, Jr., and Sam Howard,
as Mawruss Perlmutter and Abe
Potash, were great. Each ably presented
their parts with humor, when
humor was appropriate, and carried
[throughout the plot, the pathos and
moral which has made the production
1 a popular one throughout the country.
Eloise Murray, who played the
part of Ruth Goldman, the designer,
was probably the next best on the
stage. Miss Murray was just the
capable, business woman that she
was supposed to be, and yet artist
enough to turn from business to love
in true womanly fashion.
Marks Pasinsky, the over-friendly
.buyer, was good, Edward Shoben,
nandling that part to perfection.
Ranking on down the line, James
W. Crosby as Boris Andrieff, who
caused all of the trouble; Bryce
Kennedy as Mosart Rabiner, salesman;
Elizabeth Conrad as Mrs.
Potash; Olive Blakeney as Irma,
Abe's daughter and J. Irving Southhard
as Henry D. Feldman, the
crooked lawyer, were all exceptionally
good and admirably adapted to
their parts and to the show, "Potash
and Perlmutter."?Charlotte UDserver,

Farmers Recomr
Ame
The conference of farmers called |
by Commissioner Watson,as secretary
of the State Central Farmers' nnion,
was held yesterday in the audience
room of the State department of agriculture.
Steps were taken to aid in
the work of clearing the atmosphere
as to the Torrens land title act, and
action was taken in regard to several
other matters of considerable concern
to the farmer at this time when
the boll weevil'is nearing the borders
of the State, notably the dairying
industry and the marketing problem.
H. G. Morrison of McClellanville,
president of the State Farmers' union
and the Central union, presided. The
principal object of the meeting was
to discuss the situation as to the
present Torrens land title . act and
the steps necessary to cure the defects.
After explanations by a number
of those present, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Want Act Amended.
"Resolved, That inasmuch as it
appears that the present Torrens
land registry and title act is seemingly
inoperative, because;, of complicated
machinery and excessive cost of
availability, and inasmuch as .the,
federal farm loan bank for this district
is about to open for business
and has indicated that it will require
Torrent titles to be presented with
applications for loans, and inasmuch
as hundreds of our citizens have already
formed farm loan associations
and expect to secure at an early
date, we deem it imperative that the
present act should be so amended as
to enable our people to secure Torrens
titles with as little delay as pos-:
sible and at a minimum ol cost to'
the individual. We, therefore, most
earnestly urge the general assembly
to take this matter in hand immediately
and to enact such legislation
as will relieve the "situation."
The conference constituted those
present as a general committee to
meet with the legislative committed
at 9 o'clock this morning at the State
house, and accepted an offer from W
J. Cherry of Rock Hill, a former
member of the general assembly, who

In an address to the United States
senate President Wilson has made
the things he considers necessary to
a lasting peace at the conclusion of
the present war. In outlining his
ideas the president suggested virtually
a worldwide "Monroe doctrine"!

in which he said tne united otatea
could not withhold its participation.
The freedom of all peoples to work
out unhindered their own policies;
the avoidance of entangling alliances;
free outlets to and the freedom
of the seas and the limitation of
naval and military armament were
the main things to the desired end,
the president said.
In none of the war zones is any
fighting of great njoment going on.

committee of the conference will
meet again this morning at 8:30
o'clock at the department of agriculture
for a brief conference before
going over to the capitol. The
confernece indorsed the idea of the
State accepting titles and issuing
Torrens titles for them upon a graduated
percentage basis, if that idea
be the most practical way of solving
the problem.
Several other resolutions looking
to the amendment of the Torrens law

When/the Union soldiers on the outskirts
of the city learned of the assassination

measures were suggested and the
officers had difficulty in holding the
men in check. While the civil population
of Raleigh was unaware of the
assassination and of the excitement

but in the midst of it Captain W. C.

when the news became generally
