L ItaliMi Steamer Ancona Sunk Torpe doed in Mediterranean Sea With Possible Loss of 200 Lives, A large submarine flying the Austrian flag has sunk the Italian line steamer Ancona, from Naples for New VrvrV Disnatohes from Rome gave no details of the disaster beyond the fact that 270 survivors of 482 persons aboard have been landed at Bizerta, cn the North African coast. Of those on the Ancona 322 were passengers. Some of the survivors were wounded. News of the sinking of the Ancona caused a sensation in Washington Tuesday night, as it was regarded as foreshadowing a new controversy between the United States and Austria similar to the critical dispute with Germany which followed the torpedo ing of the Lusitania. Before making any comment, however, officials awaited information on two points?whether the vessel was torpedoed without warning and whether any Americans were among the victims.

Reports reaching Washington are that Kitchener's visit to the Near East will carrv him to India, where the gravest condition of unrest among the Moslems is reported. A native ruler who has shown his sincere friendship for the British has been deposed bv his people, according to reports. Lord Kitchener, it is said, will also visit Egypt. It is expected iaai ne win take steps to meet the new menace c? unrest within and possible pressure without. The Austro-Germans and Bulgarians from the north tfnd the east, but in the south, where the French and British have joined the Serbs, and on the west, where the Montenegrins are opposing the Austrfr-Hungarians, the progress of the Teutonic allies seems for the moment to have been stemmed. Unofficial advices emanating in Berlin and coming by way of London, are to the effect that 300,000 men of the entente allies already have landed at Saloniki to aid the Servians. *v Artillery engagements have been the chief method of warfare on the Eastern front, in Belgium and France and alons the Austro-Italian line. Progress for the Germans in the region of Dvinsk and to the north of Komarow is recorded in the German official communication.

The synod has made a departure from its regular business procedure in appointing a finance committee. All matters of money, appropriations and apportionment must be referred to this committee. The synod lias adopted a practical plan by which the debt of $9,000 may ie j:aid within the next five years and st the same time not interfere with the general work. Dr. R. S.

UNfOIT . - A At a meeting of the Farmer's' union' of Newberry county last Saturday it .? was unanimously agreed thai: the best V thing for the farmer to do this fall is :o put in a large grain crop. This we consider as the only safe guard against a repetition of conditions such as we had in 1914. First?, *a good grain crop will insure plenty of foc5 for man beast, two (very necessary things for the farmer v - to consider. _. ? .' Second, a large acreage sown to grain means reduced cotton acreage ?. , 'v T - ' for 1916, and that is very necessaryif we would s&ll the corn crop of 1916 ^ at a profit. The farmers have the situation absolutely in their own hands. fThey can either sow a good acreage to grain, \ rcauce cotton ^creage 2nd sell cotton in 1916 for 12 to 15 cents per pound, ' or they can sow small acreage to grain, ?- --j leave large acreage ior coium <*uu ocx* cotton, in 1916 at 9 to 10 cents per pound. %r'* * * tf ..^w* which is the sensible eourse.topursue? Certainly there 1s but one sane course to pursue, an<l that is to & o 1 -J tt sow grain. Prepare yonr land well, y-j and if practicable fertilize it. Many V * v ** * people failed to make grain this year </ because it was not properly put in, and further, if your grain should happen to fail, -you can plant the same land to corn and peas, which will pay possibly better than cotton. Let every farmer adopt this as his slogan, "Plenty of wheat, oats and corn and live stock; then raise all the cot- 'y ton you can as a surplus." If this is carried out we will not have a repetition of 1914 conditions. T. M. MI<LLS, pFarmer's Union. Newberry Co. Bu?9rd-3fJller.
