recommendations for o til cor* of the
State's two regiments was wade the

the ISilef Executive, tht? passage of a

the appointment of ? committee of
five members to go to Washington
and lay the grievances of the faettou
before the Secretary of War, at a
meeting of H00 or mow represcuta
lives of the tmrty here thlH after
noon.
The meeting whs called by former
Governor Cole L. Mease. The com
wit tee which will go to Washington,
consists of Cole K Mease, chairman ;
W. A. Stuckey, of Ixh* County; W. K.
Buckingham, Aiken; l>r. Olln Sawyer,
mayor of Georgetown, and James P.
Carey, Jr., Pickenfi. Uuder Instruc
tions of the convention the commit
tee will tell the Secretary of War
that their faction of the State has
been grossly neglected in the officer
ing of regiments and that the (Jover
nor's action In refusing to create a
third regiment for the State Is strong
ly resented.
The meeting, which was tailed to
"consider the crisis caused by the
world war," incidentally branched
Into a discussion of plans for the
camiwign of next Summer. Ex-Gov
ernor Illease, in the last of three
speeches declared that the winning
of the political war of 1J>1K almost
was as important as the defeating of
Germany. Members present were
warned by the former Governor not
to go to sleep, but to see that their
faction is represented at meetings
next April, when the clubs will be
organized.
The real kick against Governor
Manning is based on an alleged trip
to Washington, at which the Governor
is said to have urged the adoption of
conscription machinery for this State,
which differs from that provided for
other States. The difference being, it
is claimed, that whereas, in other
States, the board coi^sfaits of the sher
iff, the clerk of court and the. county
physician, in Sotfth Carolina the
board's mem/bers are the Judge of
Probate, the Clerk of Court and a
chairman named by the Governor.
The ghost of the past summer's
election was disinterred In this con
vention which was called to consider
its part in the war and the familiar
charges that the votes of the i>eople
were not fairly counted were freely
rej>ea ted.
The convention was particularly bit
er in its assertions that Bleaseltes
were not permitted to attend the of
ficers' training camp at Fort Ogle
thorpe, though it was not demonstrat
ed just how the finger of the Gover
nor was used In this maneuver. James
B. Carey, Jr., of Pickens, stated that
he had been rejected after being told
by the officer who made the examina
tion that he was the kind of man
the Government wanted.
John P. Grace, editor of The
Charleston American, denounced the
action of Congress in declaring war
and Indulged In a round of criticism
of President Wilson for breaking his
"implied pre-election contract" to keep

BRITISH U-BOAT

New York.?now a British subma
rthe, disabled and forced to come to
the surface In Prussian waters In the
North Sea, captured an enemy mine
layer and ttauk six Prussian destroyers
wa? told in xraphic language by an of
ficer of a British vessel that arrived
at an American port. According to the
narrative the officer commanding the
submarine forced the mine-layer to
tow him out to. sea and then, repairs
being completed, sowed the sea with
rnlues and lu German code sent out a
call by wireless that brought six Prus
sian destroyers down on them. Four
of the destroyers struck mines and the
remaining two were sunk by the sub
marine, which then mude her way
home in safety.
"We were cruiBlng off the mouth of
the Weser at night," the officer told a
New York Herald reporter, "when
something went wrong with our ma
chinery and we came to a stop.
8etting the Trap.
"We had passed close by to several
Prussian vessels earlier In the eve
ning, but had not touched them, for
ours was a mission of observation. So
we considered that we would fall In
with one very soon. Sure enough, in
an hour's time we caught sight of a
dark shape coming down and which
would apparently run afoul of us if we
^fpt on. Through the night glasses
our lieutenant made her out to be a
trawler. At once he decided on a des
perate expedient. He sent off the
bo'sun and six men, all the available
ipen we had, in our collapsible boat,
und as the trawler bore down on us he
hailed her In German and reported
himself as U-29, with machinery dis
abled.
"It wasn't till she was right on top
of us that they smelled a rat. Some
one shouted out an alarm as her over
hang grazed us. And as the cry went
UP ?ur collapsible, which had pulled
anound, boarded her from the other
side. The lieutennnt and I went over
the trawler's side and shot two of
them before they rushed us, for our
boat's crew had kept the remainder of
the watch on deck busy.
"Once In possession of the deck it
was easy to do for the engine-room
force of three and the boat was ours.
We made sure that there was no com
munication from the foV'sle except by
the locked hatch. Then the lieutenant
passed a line to our own submarine
and with her engine-room crew work
ing like" mad the rest of us on the
trawler got under way. It was almost
dawn before the engineer on the sub
marine hailed us and announced that
foe had cleared away the broken stuff
! and replaced the rods.
"The lieutenant then cast loose from
i our submarine and the trawler made a
wide semicircle, dropping overside all
the surface mines she had on board?
20 of them. Then we sent a radio in
OcTniuu?the lloateflant had found the
Hun's secret code hook in the wheel
house?calling for help and announcing:
that the trawler had fallen In with a
tlotlllHr of fast British cruisers, evi
dently bent on a raiding expedition.
With that we wrecked the wireless,
abandoned the trawler with her crew
still locked on the fo'c'sle and sub
merged behind our barrier of mines.
Destroying the Destroyers.
"We didn't have long to wait. The
dawn was just breaking when up from
the east came four destroyers In col
umn. We had hardly sighted them
when they saw the trawler and spread
out fanwise. As they shot into the
mine field the leading destroyer went
leaping out of the water with her bow
torn off.* The others sheered and the
second and third, thus running up the
mine trail, both struck, each one being
fairly torn to pieces. The fourth de
stroyer, her engines reversing at top
speed and hauling her back on her
haunches, took a pot shot at the traw
ler for luck, realising that they had
run Into a trap. As she was firing we
crept slowly up and let her have a-tor
pedo amidships.
"The roar of the explosion had hard
ly died away when another detonation
shook tis and we found that two more
destroyers had come up from the
I southward and had fallen afoul of the
mines. The leading one was untouched,
but the second had struck another
mine. As the one remaining destroyer
turned to run we made for her at an
angle and got her. She went up with
{ap appalling roar.
"We bad no chance to breathe, how
ever, for something dropped Into the
sea close bj and exploded. Swinging
our periscope upward we found three
Taubes circling above us. We turned
I jpfl cut for home, with the trio hang
ing over us for more than half an
hour, dropping bombs all around us.
and after running with the fear oi
death in our heart* for more than air
hour we got within our cruising area
and the Taubes were driven away by a
couple of our own seaplanes.
"Tha lieutenant got the Victoria
( cross for his work and we all gpt the
Military cross."
