Arrivals from Ono Destroyed Ship
Give Sonic IK?tails.
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.

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.

Broke His Wooden Leg. .
(Anderson Mail, 24th.)
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.

Editor Koowee Courier: Please al
low me space in your paper to tnako
a few comments ana suggestions on
the war situation, lt is not my pul
poso to talk about how wo got in to
this struggle-(we all know that) -
but how wo can best and quickest get
out victoriously.
First, every man, old and young,
must-line-up. Tho older mon, who
have for tho last several years laid
aside the burden of life and have
been leaning heavily on the strong
shoulders of their young sons, must
how "take a new lease on life, and go
forward again to do, not their "bit,"
but eight time? that-their host.
Then tho men In mid-life, whom
the government has not called upon
to take an active part, must do their
best-not to make money for self,
but to help thc families of those that
have gone.
As the draft laws have been so
changed as, to a great extent, strip
our local board of any discretion in
the selection and every man can
classify himself, there will be a lot
of men who will fool tho burdon
heavy on themselves. Those we must
help In every way possible, and If
there are any that have built a false
house of refuge (we believe there aro
some), we would admonish them to
como out and nil up tho vacant place
beside their former comrades. They
will need you.
Now, as always, I take off my hat
to tho ladies. Who ever saw such an
organization! All at work-sowing,
knitting, baking corn broad, and sav
ing sugar. No slackers, no long Hst
of fourth classera, If tho male pop
ulation were to put up such a solid
front tho battlo would soon be won
and tho victory ours.
Wo are making history now; some
will be written and some will not.
The unwritten will he the longest re
membered. Tho roll will be called
after while, and 1 pity the home that
could have, and has not, a star in Its
service dag. J, .1. Hallenger.

?ROP PRODUCTION IN lol?.
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.
