TYPICAL S 25 l*CT Cont Of Potatoes and Heans Wiped Out in Charleston County. (The Post, April I.) The frost of las: night played havoc with the heans and potato crops of Charleston county and the seed dealers stated this morning that since daylight they had been he seiged with rush orders for seed with which to replant these crops. \V. H. Mixson, who is in close touch with the trucking situation in the county, said it was estimated that about 25 per cent of the bean and potato crops would need lo be replanted as a re sult of ?.he freezing weather. The cabbage crop is retarded In matur ing, but has not been materially in jured, according to reports. The 25 per cent of bean and pota to crops t? be planted, lt is estimat ed, will be on the market from 10 days to two "eeks late. For the past two days there has been a rush to buy seed In ant oipation of just such a situation as that which has arisen. The 75 per cent of the crops believed to be uninjured comprises that por tion which had not broken through thc soil crust prior to the frost last night. Farmers in all parts of thc county were 'hoping for warmer weather. All the trucking crops of the county are later this spring than for many seasons past, due to the continuation of cold weather well into the plant ing season. Anderson Hoods. ( Daily Mail, March 31.)

April 1.-Indemnity for the full value of tho American ship William P. Frye, destroyed at sea by the German converted cruiser Prinz Fit el Friedrich, has been for mally requested from Germany by tho United States government. Acting Secretary Lansing an nounced to-day that a note on the subject bad been sent to Ambassador Gerard for presentation to the for eign office at Herlin. Pending its receipt in Herlin, the document will not be made public. Xo rep rosen tait ions wer o made concerning the cargo, since it was es tablished after an investigation hy the State Department that it was sold en route and was British-owned at tho time of the sinking. The American government con tends in the note that the comman der ol' the Eitel was not warranted in destroying the Frye, because it could not lawfully have been con demned as a prize bad it been taken into a prize court. The destination of the cargo was a private firm in England, Hie American government learned, and the wheal could not, therefore, have been considered as cont raband. Goodman Lands Good .joh.

There is much speculation as to ivhat is responsible for the advance n the |irice of cotton during the past "cw weeks. Tho average man ad vances the opinion that it is merely he usual rise which ls pulled off at ?(anting time every year lo Influ mce the planting ol' a large acreage, f this is the case, whoever is re iponsible for putting the price up viii he disappointed with the resntls. The farmers may have been fooled In bo past by high prices at planting line, but they are not going to be oolofj this year. Tho acreage will ie cut, the amount of fertilizer used lill be reduced from the average, nd the crop produced this year will e soveral million bales smaller than be last crop. This is what Hie armers of this section say, and there s much evidence to confirm Hie ruth of all these staements. If the armors of the co! ?mi lull generally re working like the farmers in this OCtioil Of South Carolina, cotton will ring a good price next fall, because here will he no enormous surplus to epress the price. :R COURTS FINANCING STATE'S COTTON. M< Hanl in Says Ho Has Arranged for Warehoused Staple. Columbia, April 1.- John L Mc Laurin, State cotton warehouse com missioner, announces that on a re cent visit to New York city, in com pany with J. A. Hanks, ol' St. Mat thews, "wo made arrangements so that cotton in State warehouses can be financed at a rate of interest on straight loans not exceeding 5 per cent; and on bank acceptances, at the present money rate, including broker's commissions, not over fou. per cent." Commissioner McLaurin declares that the only difficulty is at this end of the line, in providing the neces sary machinery. He says that the most practical way is to handle the matter through the local banks for the reason that the large institutions in New York cannot well deal with individual borrowers desiring small amounts of money. Tho commissioner declares that tho New York financiers desire to maintain that city as a financial cen ter, and "to do so mus? offer money at a rate under the disccunt estab lished by tho various reserve banks." This, ho says, gives tho Federal Re serve Hoard considerable power over interest rates. He believes that the new currency law will eventually standardize' interest rates through out the United States. .| believe Hitit I have made a be ginning in financial circle's in estab lishing the character ol' State ware house receipts," says tho commis sioner. .Nitrate of Soda Coining.
