Official announcement to this effec
was made at the state department to
day. The location of the action be

marine^ which lasted an hour and i
half, was not given. Neither was th<
name oi m-e hmibi u. omp.
It was stated, howe\er, that tin
ship was not the Mongolia, regarding
which cable advices had been receive*
last night. The Mongolia, according
to word from England, ran into i
"nest" of submarines and had a Ion*
running fight with two of them.
The other action tookv place in i
different locality. It lasted an hou:
and a half.
The fact that the submarine car
ried two six-inch guns leads official:
to believe she was one of great 5,000
ton u-boats which Germany was re
ported building. The ordinary subma

A JCATITE OF CHESTERFIELD
WRITES HIS APPROVAL
1 i
Editor The Herald and News: j
I read with some degree of pleas
rre the account of your trip to Che
raw nlri historic Oheraw. As you Der
haps know Chesterfield county is the
home of my nativity, and even to ma
turity, having left the old home only
a few years ago. I am glad you saw
fit to say a few words in praise of
Chesterfield for I have done the same
until perhaps some think I draw on
imagination. I am so glad and thank
you kindly for unwittingly coming to
my relief. iWhile I always agree tha:
I came from the poorest county in
the State I ?an safely speak of some
of her fine roads and beautiful farms.
and I am so sorry mac your eugage
ment for the following clay made a
hasty return necessary for it would
have been delightful to have taken a
spin of 12 miles out to Chesterfield or
in other directions. J
My, my, if you had gone out toward
McFarlan, N. C. The beautiful farms,
you would have seen when you struck!
i the Littles, Laney and Watson neigh-1
borhood.
You spoke of your old friend W. P.!
Pollock. I have known him from i
boyhood. We lived for a number of
years in the same town, boarded and
roomed in the same house. I have rid-1
den the old bicycle of which he spoke
in Newberry two years ago. Mr. Pol-|
lock is a fine fellow. J
I hope you will have the pleasure;
* 1 ?/>/mih. I
Ot seeing muie ui vucotciuoiu
ty. But this one request I make of
you. Don't say too much of her
wealth as I have it that she is poor.
I want us to be able lo stand cross j
examination if it becomes necessary. I i
want us to corroborate, you know, j
No doubt it would be refreshing if t
you were to motor out to Chesterfield. \
There are several meats of transfer)
aboe the old buggy. There are autos.j
rrnms and a few weeks ago r made)
the trip from Chesterfield to Cfieirawj
in a Ford running as a jitney on the
-ailroad track.
Very truly yours,
James J. Davis.

ON A (COOT OF ILLNESS
ML. KLETTXER RESIGNS j
Mr. Otto Klettner who had been ap-j
pointed on the council of defense, and;
who had accepted, made his arrange
ments to attend the meeting in Co
lumoia on vveanesaaj. ne sioppea at:
our home on Tuesday afternoon andj
we talked some time of the meeting
and spoke of going through the coun
try in 111, but it was impossible for
us to leave, and he arranged to go on
the tr>n. He had not been very well
for the past several weeks, but with
that strong determination of his he
would not .give up. He has been un
der a terrible strain for the past sev
eral months, such a strain as few
men have been called upon to undergo. |
.And that few can understand or fully;
appreciate.
He sent for his physician just be- i
fore train time and Dr. Houseal im- j
mediately ordered him to bed. Dr. j
Houiieal said tnat he was not able ten
be out. aixl could not possibly go to;
the meeting, or even remain in his i
own place of business. Dr. Houseal
sent the following telegram to Gov. I
Manning: "Impossible for 0. Klett-;
j i v; i lkj ou ? ^ ysi i ui uauuuai vie-,
fense. Nervous prostration. This is i
sent by my advice and his request. W. |
G. Houseal, M. D." ?
Those of us who know Mr. Klettner;
regret that he will be unable to serve.
on this board because we know that
he would have been a voluable man
011 that board. He never shirks a duty i
or endeavors to avoid a responsibility.1
But we regret the more that the cause J
of his inability to serve is his illness, i
and we hope that he may soon be re-'
stored to his usual health. His main J
fault, if he has any. is that he is too'
liberal and too generous. He is in
bed and Dr. Houseal advises that ab-;
solute rest Is imperative.
STATE TO BE PUT

State Conncil of Defense Outlines1
Initial Flans for Serious Work.
Charleston American.
Columbia, June 6.?Plans for put
ting South Carolina on a war basis:
were outlined at the initial meeting
this afternoon of the recently appoint-,
fid State council of defense. TodaV?
meeting was largely preliminary to
the serious work which the council
will undertake and but little definite
action was taken. At subsequent con- .
ferences the ideas presented today will
be whipped into shape so that they
may be effectively worked out in the
life of the people of the State.
An executive committee was au- j
thorized, the chairman, David R. Co-;
ker of Hartsville, to appoint its five
members. Mr. Coker and 'William El-1
liott, an attorney of Columbia, who j
was elected vice chairman, are ex
officio members of this committee.
Other committees which will be ap
pointed by the chairman after consul
tation with the executive committee1
are: A finance committee, which will j
arange for securing funds with which j
to carryon the work of the council;
production and conservation commit-)
iee to carry pn tue wors ui uie ouuta ;
Carolina preparedness commission.
It was decided by the council to re- j
quest Gov. Manning to enlarge the:
number of members of the council to
30. exclusive of the chairman. This i
.will permit the formation of ten com-!
mittees of tnree members each. The1
legislature of the Stote will be asked i
to appropriate $15,000, if so much be

Members of the general assembly;
will be sounded a? to their willing- j
ness to support an appropriation for1
the purpose outlined. In other States,!
it was pointed out by Mr. Benet, funds !
available by legislative action range;
from $25,000 to $1,000,000. A most I
careim system 01 e.\peuun.ui c wm uc
instituted, according to Chairman Co
ker. The State treasurer, S. T. Carter,
will be asked to act as treasurer for
the funds of the council. A secretary,
employed at a salary suggested at j
$1,500 per year, will be engaged by the i
chairman and the executive commit-!
tee.

WHITMIKE SCHOOL HAS
A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
It was our pleasure on the invita
tion of Superintendent C. B. Hanna to
be present at tho <. losing of the Whit
mire school, and prcsnt a medal, on
last Friday night. -We hooked up 111
and with our mascot and Superintend
ent C. P. Barre we drove out to Whit
mire in the afternoon reaching there
just before the wind storm came and
the rain. There was not much rain at
Whitmire but coming back we found
that there had been .a good rain along
from Mr. John M. Suber's on to near
Dr. W. C. Brown's. The road is good.
We believe one of the best in the i
county. It needs to be widened and J
some of the creeks need to have fills j
and concrete bridges but there hasj
been great improvement in this road !
during the last year.
The storm put the lights out in theI
early evening but they came back and j
the exercises began and it is gratify- J
ing to us to see the great improvement j
that has been wrought in this school |
during the last five years. A new ad-,
dition has been built to the building
and the auditorium is twice the size j
it was and it was filled on Friday and!
if the evening had been clear no doubt
standing room would have been at a,i
premium.
An account of the closing in detail j
^4.1,
appears m aiiutuci cuiuuiu.
We are pleased to say that Prof.!
Hanna will come back to the school i
the next session. He is doing a good
work and the school is prospering un
der his management and the school
spirit is manifest. There will be a
few changes in the teaching force. It;
is me purpose 01 ipe patrons to put;
another two mills tax on the district j'
for maintenance and it will then be
able to run the full nine months with
out a deficit.
