Tin- * ? <* r tu iiu otlhvis and sailors, forming the complement* of the German shijw Interned at ttcapa Flow, sank most of .their fleet today. AH the b 4c ships, the battleships aud haul, cruisers, excepting the ltaden, aad num erous smaller craft, were sunk, while others went ashore in a half sunken coudition. Eighteen destroyers were beached by tugs; fonf art- still afloat, wbib the remainder went under. The wholesale &lukiug oi the Gerawm ships, which were surrendered under the tURUH of the airnlstice, w*aa carefully arranged by officers aud crews. All ex plosives had beou removed aud therefore the only inoana of destroying the fleet was by opening the seacocks. The ships went down slowly, with the German flag, which the crews had hoisted, showing ut the mastheads. The crews, composed entirely of Ger man.-. under the tetfms of the armistice, ^ieh did not j?eriuit of Itritish guards aboard, took to the boats when tfie ves sels began to settle. While making for the shore, the boats were challenged, aud called upon to surrender.* Some of them ignored the suminons and were fired upon, u few casualties resulting. Thi* stroke apparently was an entire surprise, and the first news reached London through a correspondent who was informed by farmers in the neighborhood that they had seen the German ships sinking, with their flags <nloft. The admiralty at first denied the re ?port, but later -confirmed it and issued an official statement. The German of ficers and crews have been made pf'Tv oner. None of the officials tonight would offer ?n opinion ns to how they are to be dealt with. When the German highscas fleet sur-. rendered last November and was taken i!o Scapji Flow, it comprised nine hat* I'l&sihips, five battle cruisers, sevoi light1 cruisers aud 50 destroyers. A? tar is known, nil t;Tin ships ? are ? still at Soap a Flow. The battjeships at. Scapa Flow. ar%? the Kaiser, Kaiserin, Ivoenig Albert,, liayeru, Marfcgraf, Kronpdinz Wilnel, Prinrrcgcnt -Luitpold, Grosser Kuerfurst and the Fredorich der Grosse, averag'ng about! 25/300 /tons each. The battle cruisers are the Seydlitz, Ilindenburg. Moltke, Von Der Tann, and Perflinger. Rented His Pasture Land. Mr. L. I. Gxrion, who owns large pas ture lands on his river farm in -West Wateree, has rented his entire pasture lands to the government and the horses and mules from Camp Jackson will be grazed on 'these lands' for some time. Already about 300 he<ad have been placed there and probably one thousand or more will be grazing there in a short time. The government will have, their own veterinarian and several men stationed there to look after the" animals. Mr. Qnjon bias secured other pasture lands up and down the river for the use of his own cattle. He shipped six of his fine registered cattle to York county cattle raisers Friday. Baptist Plan to Build. At a meeting of the Baptist congre gation on Sunday morning the committee that was charged with the matter of submitting plans for properly housftig the Sunday School reported. These plans were highly satisfactory and well pleas ing to all present. As a result the Church ordered the committee to pro ceed with the plans. This unanimous vote of the Church to make the long and much needed improvement to its plant and for the teaching department shows the spirit of progress among its people. A disposition to cooperate was in the hearts of all the people as was illus trated' in the offer of the Finance Com mittee to lend all assistance, in the matter of money, to' the building com mittee. So it seems as the Baptists are length ening their <4?rd? and strengthening their stakes, they are adopting for their motto "larger and better." The picnic last week was a marked success except there was abundant food for about 100 more people. One item of importance will claim at tention of the Men's Class next Sun day morning. Death of Mrs. Amnions. Mrs. Miffoe Amnions, aglnl more than 8fi years, died at the home of her son, Mr. 8. J. Amnions, in the Rembert sec tion last - ^turday evening after a lin gering illness. The funeral* and burial took place at Swift Creek Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, services being con ducted by Rev. J. W. Kenney. - - was decreed by the German government but the decree wa? virtually unheeded. Thereafter the German delegates aub mitted various notes to the council ?of four asking for concessions or criticis ing the terms proposed in the treaty as submitted to? them. On May 15 it was announced that the German treaty would bwyme effective when ratified by Ger many and three of the allied or iw dated powers. * ? ?

W. Q.Hfcuitbi State Ware house Commissioner, who is anxious to see enough warehouses built and put in the State warehouse system to take carc of at leant an additional 500,000 bale* of cottou, said yesterday that he would send from his office in Columbia the necessary plaits and specifications ^rt'w of. charge to tariuam who would build warehouses this summer to be uoit9 in the State ayerten. According to one estimate, "country damage" alone oost the fanners \>f South (Carolina $14,178,000 on the 1918 crop of cotton. For this sum, the State'* entire 1018 cn>p could have been housed ff>r over 15 mouths in the State ware house system had warehouses beeti avail able. Commissioner Sn^ith said yesterday that there was no "red tape" about get ting a properly built warehouse into the State system. . * "First, build the warehouse," said Conwulssiouer Smith "then apply for its admission Into the State system. Thofi the State Warehouse (Commissioner will lease the warehouse for $1.00 a year and issue to the owner or owners a license to operate it as a unit in the State system on payment of ft fee of $2.00. Next, the hiw authorises the Com ftiisstoller to name' a suitable person as warehouseman fll^jd to bond him for fj*pm $t.00o to $f?,(HM>, a<vording to the sine of the warehouse. As soon as the ware; houve is ready for business the Com missioner keeps its contents fully cov ered by insurance against fire. The ware houseman issues receipts for each bale of <<ottoii stored, which receipts after being' recorded in the Commissioner's office and Healed with th'e State seal, are negotiable as security for loans at all banks/4 A cotton Warehouse with a capacity of 2(H) to 500 bales can be built at n cost of a little over a dollar a bale au<d iir 1.000 bale warehouse can be built for less than a dollar a bale, if farmers will adopt Commissioner Smith's suggestion and use Hieir field hands' on the con struction during wet spells* . - - . . The fire underwriters have laid down <the following dirdbtions for warehouse building which must be ? followed : For. a warehouse to hold 500v bales, the building must be 100 feet long by 45 feet wide by 11 feet high at the eaves. The roof may be of composition material or nK^al, the sidfejTlrnu ends of boards or metal and tfle^floor of ce meivt or dirt. There must '6^ one-slQor in each end of th^ buildmg- hnd three on each aide (for a^^OO bale warehouse). "No smoking" signs must be displayed and a barrel of water anjd two buckets provided for. each 100 bales of cotton to be stored. No cotton can be stored in the warehouse until four days after it is ginned. V- * Married In New Jersey. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Qraddick arrived in Camden la?t Friday from Patterson, N.

Several places that I addressed an inquiry to did not respond. The price here was cut Friday to twenty eight cents by one dealer, and at this writing, Saturday noon, it looks as if there may be a price war, or that the thirty cents price will be restored by The prices reported to me are : Aiken, twenty-nine cents ; Anderson, twenty-ninef centa; Bishoifcpville, thirty centa ; Camden, thirty ceuts; Charleston twenty-seven centa ; TJheraw twenty-eight and thirty cents; Cheater twenty-ei*ht cehta; Columbia tWenty-eight centa; Darlington, twenty-eight, twenty-nine and thirty c^nta; Florence twenty-eight cents; Manning twenty-eight centa; Orangrirurg twenty-eight cents ; Pine wood thirty cents; Rock Hill twenty eight and twenty-eight and one haif cents; Spartanburg, twenty-veven and one half cents. I have been told that the p^ce to the auto laat month at Rockingham, N. O., was less than the wholesale price bo the dealer in Sumter. I am also toM that the price to the auto in 'Baltimore the middle of May was twenty-four cents. I understand, generally, that the price in thJs State is above the average.

A great part of the trouble between labor and employ^ jtwday Is. that the employer, as woon an' t he gets a little money, feels he should put on a stiff collar, sit in an officc and be surround ed by a lot of secretaries so that an ordinary man cannot get to hftn. Always play with your cards on the table ? don_'t try to do things that are "cute" or "sharp". Be natural? don't try to appear something that you are not. The biggest men today are those who are the most democratic. A man that is humbly born, if he goes along as honorably and honestly aa- he knows how will be as highly re spected as the man who has a million aire for a father. . The foregoing are excerpts from a talk by Charles W. Nash, president of the Nash Motors Company, to students of the University of Wisconsin. "Honetfty, loyalty, and energy are the three necessary qualifications? for success today," aaid Mr. Naah. "As to honesty, it may be hard at times to tell the truth, but I think there is little differ ence between deceit and a He. "At the Nash factory in Kenosha we are a real family. Every man in the plant knows he can come to* my office at any time and be greeted cordially. "Too many of us today measure suc cess by the dollar sign. If I have to buy my way into, any place but a show, I don't want to get there. Further more, I don't see any use in acquiring a great amount of., wyalth. Y?h can oirty "Wear one "suit *of clothes at a time and eat only one meal at a time, any way. If one makes a success of life, money is very likelv to come, But as yrtu go along through life, sec that those who are working with you benefit by you. It is worth more to a man to be ible to say he never did anything dis honorable in his life than it is to have a lot of dollars behind him." ? Granted New Trial. * Th<?
