An Atlantic Port, Jan. 24.-The American steamship Owasco, former ly the German steamer Allomannia, seiezd here when the United States entered i'.'.s war, was sunk by a sab marine tho early part of December, while in Mediterranean waters, near the Spanish coast, according to sur vivors of the ship who arrived hero to-day on a Spanish liner. It was gold that two members of the crew lost their lives. The Owasco is tho American ship recently reported as having been one of three vessols sunk while passing a Pghthou3e, with the submarine lying off shore and-picking tho vessels off as they parsed through the beam of light. Tho two other ships , sunk were a Norwegian and a British ship. The Owasco went clown 15 minutes after being struck by the torpedo, "blazing like a torch," as one of the survivors put it, for the Owasco car ried moro than 50,000 cases of gas oline. The crew took to the boats, and out of 07 men on board all were saved except Albert Jacobsen, a Nor wegian seaman, and a Spanish mess man named Garcia, who are believed to have gone down with the, ship. "We were a part of a convoy of four vessels," one of tho mon said. "We were preceded by an English and a Norwegian ship. Shortly be fore midnight the men on watch heard the explosion of the torpedoes that sent the vessel ahead of us to the bottom and immediately sounded the alarm on the Owasco that brought every one to the deck ready for emergency. .Less than 10 min utes after the ftral vesesl was torpe doed, the second vessel and our own were victims. "We were within easy reach of tire shore, and we were warmly received and cared for by the people of a Spanish village... Tho crew of the Norwegian ship landed shortly a.fter we did, but we never did hear what, became of the crew of the Britisher, lt is possible they were picked up by the fourth member of tho convoy." The submarine evidently contin ued to lurk In tho vicinity, as the next morning tho crew of the Owas co witnessed from the shore a fl^ht between a destroyer and a merchant man on one side and a U-boat on the other. Tho fight took place loss than five miles from the coast, tho men asserted, and lasted about two hours without -apparent damage to any of the combatants. ; Train Caught in Snow-Drift.

MOONSHINE ON INCREASE. Commissioner Calls ou Governor^ to Aid in Putting Down Ditsiiioss. Washington, Jan. 24.-'An appeal to Governors and members of Con gress to support a nntton-wldo cam paign against Illicit liquor distiller ies was prepared to-day ny internal Revenue Commissioner Itopor, whose reports show "moonshine" traffic Is increasing rapidly. The campaign will be directed mainly against Sou thern dry States, where the location of most of th . military camps has added a special reason for the clean up movement. Commissioner Hoper will ask Gov ernors to furnish State agents to co operate with government inspectors in putting illegal stills but of busi ness,? and to prosecute the campaign actively during tho next two months, ordinarily the busiest period of the year for moonshiners. The appeal probably will be issued in a few days. In line with the movement to Im prove liquor and vice conditions about military camps, new restricted zone regulations have been prepared by the War Department and the De partment of Justice, and will be an nounced soon. They have been drawn In an effort to make it moro difficult for persons who buy liquor and give lt to soldiers, to esoape perf altles of tho law. More severe pen_ altles also may 'be imposed on sol diers who drink liquor. Tho Department of Justice report ed that United States attorneys have prosecuted more than 600 persons during the last six months for vio lating tho barred zone regulations about army camps. Most of tho of fenders were accused of selling li quor, and In many cases the liquor was found to bo of the moonshine va riety. Reports of such cases were sent to government revenue agents, who used them ns tips on running down the places of manufacture. UGH !

Lots of folks have heard stories of mon falling and breaking their wooden legs, but this morning the story was proven in Anderson. A gentleman was walking along in front of B. O. Evans' store on Main st.eet and slipped and fell heavily on the sidewalk lie did not rise and several of the young men from the store hurried to his assistance. They found he was unable to rise, but seemed to be suffering no pain. In answer to their question if he was hurt, the gentleman replied that ho thought his leg was broken. His leg was broken-his artificial leg-broken entirely and much too broken to provide a means of loco motion for him, so he lay up for re pairs In tho Evans store while a hunt was made for another leg. Fi nally orutches wore supplied and he went his way, having the distinction of having his leg .broken after it had been amputated. Housework is hard enough when healthy.

Country Much Concerned About Atti tude of Funner Toward Cotton. ( Progressive Farmer.) Those interested in tho agricultu ral progress of the South are .anxious that we shall not fall to do our pa triotic duty lu food production are much concerned about tho attitude the Southern rnrmor ls going to'take toward cotton production in 1918. In li) 17 the boll weevil was much less destructive lu many soctlons than ever before since he came lu largo numbers. Tho small crop of 1917, 1 1,000,000 halos or less, has resulted In high prices, and whore a fair crop was made tho prouts have been largo, mit lt must bo remem bered that tho average yield per acre iu 1917 was only about 155 pounds of lint cotton, and for 1916 only about 156 pounds per acre. The | small crop of 1017, for instance, ; was not due to va small acreage, for two had over thirty-three million acreB, but to a small yield per acre. On tho other hand, corn yields have been good, taking tho South as a whole, although tho crop ls short Itt the dry sections of tho West. Food production and, as a general rule, feed production, have been lar ger (han usual, lt ls also true that .those who have made moro food and feed supplies than required for home use have boon able to sell tho sur plus at a good price; but after all these facts are duly recognized it re mains a Tact that, for tho average Southern farmer, cotton has proved the best money crop grown and it ls fiar to assume that it will continue to be the best money crop ol* the South when good yields are made In a properly balanced cropping system. Wc can lind no sound basts for an argument against the growing of cotton when it ls produced on a sound economic basis or In a system of agriculture which provides for food and feed production and the maintenance of soil fertility. All these facts and many other's which might bo mentioned unmistak ably lioint to a desire oil tho part ol' the Southern farmer to increase his cotton acreage in 191S. Some fool very anxious about what may happen to Southern agriculture nexl year. We need a moderato crop of cotton, but to produce more cotton than is needed and fail to produce even more | largely than In 1917 of the food and feed supplies demanded by Ibo na tlon would be a calamity. More over, lt would stamp us as little short of "slackers" to fail to pro duce our own supplies, in the face of the demand of the nation at r?ar, for the largest possible production of foodstuffs. But if our appeal for tho produc tion of food and feed crops next year ls to be generally effective lt must bo based on sound economics ns well as on patriotism, for it is not to tho Interest of the nation as a whole that any largo section conduct Its business at a loss. Cotton can only be maintained at a high price by a small crop, while food and feedstuffs are absolutely cortaln to remain high-priced, re gardless of tho largest crops we can possibly produce, because of 'the lar ger demands and larger wastage due to the war. For Instance, the nation has produced the largest corn crop in her history in 1917 and still corn is well above a dollar a bushel and will probably remain between $1.25 and $1.50. a bushel until at least the crop of 1918 is available for use.
