Ballard, manager of the circus, tonight issued a statement saying figures compiled indicated probably eighty-five persons had been killed. He said a hasty tabulation of mattered employes showed sixty missing in addition to the twenty-four ideritified. Most of the missing were said to be "razor backs", many of them negroes. "Parts of two bodies cremated in the furnace of tangled steel and timbers which was the circus train were dug out tonight. An inquest will be held at Hammond tomorrow and Gustave Klauss . fireman of the troop train of empty Pullmans, has been ordered brought to Hammond to testify. "We will have the engineer, Alonzo K.

At a meeting of the State Farmera' Convention at Columbia Monday four hundred farmers representing every section of South Carolina adopted a resolution presented by Dr. Wade Stackhouse asking the government to limit the cotton farmer to grain planted in 1919. This resolution was adopted at the'county meeting held at the court house Saturday when Dillon county put itself on record as being the first county in the state to adopt the half and half plan. The delegates to be sent to the ' New Orleans convention July 1st. are instructed to present the plan and urge its adoption at the New Orleans meeting. The delegates representing Dillon county at the state meeting were: Dr. Stackhouse, W. H. Muller, R. S. Rogers, P. L. Bethea and A. B. Jordan. Following is the resolution presented by Dr. Stackhouse at the state meeting: "Be it resolved, That the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Association U ?? i? kl? IUCCHU5 trno Kitxj in v>uiuiuuia auu having representatives of the various counties in the State, hereby request our delegation representing us in New Orleans on July 1, to support the following resolution. "Resolved, That we request the president of the United States through the food administration as a war time necessity to require that at least one acre of food crop be planted in 1919 for each acre planted in cotton, and that the grain crop be fertilized pro rata with the corresponding cotton acreage and cultivate with the same skill; and that no farmer in 1919 ' shall plant in cotton an acreage greater than his average for the years 1915, 1916, and 1917. We request that "he president through the food admin. ri-tion will nop >ii:i i commissioner of agriculture in the foi cotton ;?iii n '?.i< .<? . ' profit. As patrloti; ?iii - we a^k a fanprofit on this and the 1919 crop and agree to abide by any price fixing program which seems just to this / board. We request that a copy of these resolutions be sent to each committee of agriculture . in the Southern States and also a copy to each representative in the house and senate from South Carolina." Spirited de.bate followed the introduction of the resolution which evidenced the sympathy of the meeting for the policy proposed by Dr. Stackhouse. A motion to strike out the words "and that no farmer in 1919 shall plant in cotton an acreage greater than his average for the years 1915, 1916 and 1917" was carried and the resolution as amended was passed unanimously.

I Harrowing details of the destruc-l i tion of one of the largest and more | recently constructed German subme-J rines are given in a dispatch froui a< neutral correspondent. The subma-1 rine was one of the last to leave | Zebrugge before the entrance to the | harbor was blocked by British forces! on April 24th The U-boat struck ? mine and out j jof the crew of 40 only two survived: on reaching the surface after a ter-, riblo struggle with death for an: liuur emu a nair, twenty rathoms be-! low the surface. Some of the crew j committed suicide having lost all hope of leaving the boat alive. , The only chance of escaping was ;to force upon the conning tower and | I j the forward hatches and trust to the; | i compression of air in one part of , the vessel to force each man like a! torpedo to the surface. The -air pres-! Uurd in the submarine had become so! 'high that the great majori.y of the i , | Germans could not keep their, !i mouths closed. ,! The compressed air shot them to , the surface, and hardly had they: reachdd the sea level when the air , pressure burst their lungs, and about ; 20 of them sank like stones. The 1 , survivors described the yells of the J men, when the end camcj, as the most I horrible noise they had ever heard. I The attention of a British trawler !! was attracted and it hastened to the*: ijiescue. The condition of the sur.ivivors showed that their experiences! I;to the submarine had be^n of a , | dreadful character. ;i ? >! ltoy Big Contributor. ;i ? ?

In company with one of the hands on the place he went to thq river shortly ufter dinner. Late in the afternoon the boat struck a snag and turned 'over and Mr. Fort and the colored man with him got out on the bank, baled the water from boat and dried their clothes. It was only a few minutes after they re-entered the boat when the fatal stroke came. Mr. Fort was standing up in the boat fishing near the bank when without a word he fell to his knees. The colored man | ran to his rescue, but could render j no assistance, death being almost ) instantaneous. The boat was a mile up stream from the landing and after ! reaching the landing the colored man had to walk some distance to get as| sistance. i Mr. Fort was in his 68th year.

You get more in Amerua than wq do, even if we are so liiiich nearer the battle front. The British fighting men and the people at home aio very confident of winning the war. They say it will probably take some time to do it, but thai it will liavtf to be done. They are a wonderful people, but you have to leurn them before they are appreciated."

Schurz, the former German gunboat Geier, which was sunk off the coast of North Carolina last Friday after colliding with the tank steamer Forida, told a thrilling story of rescue after the S. O.

Five other sailors and an officer surviving from frnctureftl arms, legs or ribs, were^ removed to a nui-nl ~ 1 tu- - iiD.-jmnj, i in* resi oi me crew were not allowed to describe the sinking. Passengers on the rescue ship, however, gave a dramatic account of tlie last chapter in the career of the llfa.cd Schurz, which, while flying he German ensign dashed into Honolulu in the fall of 191-1 to escape >apaneee cruisers und later, alter i.a?:ng been interned, took a hand in international politics by relaying to Japan wireless messages from German agents in the Fnited States, it was dawn whe.i the Schurz and Florida collided and a few minutes later passengers on the rescue ship were startled by hearing crackling notes from the wireless room and then feeling the vessel leap forward as she dashed to the rescue. Dressing hastily and coming on deck they saw in the distance thq Schurz with a deep gash in her side while nearby stood the Florida, apparently undamaged. As they drew nearer, the.y saw scores of sailors from the Schurz bobbing about in the water, while many others were clinging to lifeboats and rafts. After the vessel had picked up Ilia n V fiouiunn ?

And when he dies may a monument arise until the top of It punchea a holo through the skies Let Liberty's Goddess on top of It stand and unfurl the stars and Stripes in her outstretched hand? May she wave and flaunt it Kaiser and his twain With the scars of its battles and the blood of its slain? Lot the Kaiser and his war dogs continue to growl? Let him and his Cullions growl and bowl; Then the whole world with chivalrous fame Will ever pay tribute to Woodrow Wilson's name. J. C. D. \ ?vjra|
