CAPTURE SUBMARINE CREW WADERSEA VESSEL SENT TO BOTTOM BV GERMANS. ]*aval Oaft Disable Hun Boiit. Pieparing; to Tow it to Port When Opened Cocks Sinks Prize. Washington, Nov. 24.?A German submarine captured recently by two American destroyers was sent to the bottom by members of her crew pening cocks below while their shipmates stood on deck with hands rais?d in signal of surrender. All of the ?rew were taken prisoners. One of the Germans was drowned "while being transferred to a destroyer and another died. The latter was froried with miltary honors. Secretary Daniel announced the capture and sinking of the submarine today in a formal statement which made no mention of prisoners nor of the reason for the boat sinking. The details leaked out at the department later but the secretary would neither confirm nor deny them, saying he had issued the statement in agreement with the British admiralty and could not add to it. There was a report in naval circles that approximately 40 men including 4ve officers, were taken off the submarine. If this were true, it was mointpri nnt the vessel undoubtedly was one of the largest of the cruiser type known authentically to be operated by the Germans. Story Leaks Out. The action occurred in the war zone weveral days ago and the submarine went down while our destroyer was attempting to tow her to port. Although the British policy is to publish nothing in such cases, an agreement was reached between the navy departmeut and the British admiralty to give out certain facts which Secretary Daniels announced today in a brief statement. Officers of both the war and navy departments, however, were too elated over the news to keep it quiet. First the report spread that some prisoners had been taken and before the day was over the story of just what happened was out. Mr. Daniels's statement said a de, stroyer on patrol duty, sighting a peiiscope at 400 yards, headed for it and dropped a depth bomb; that the submarine came to the surface soon! after and was fired upon by two de- j stroyers, a second having come up; that the submarine apparently damaged, did not return the fi.*e and sank immediately after one destroyer had taken her in tow. fipqr Out. It is now known that the submarine rose because her steering gear was put out of commission by the explosion of the depth bomb. As she appeared above the water to meet gun fire from the destroyers at close range most of her crew clamored on deck, and raised their hands. Boats put off from the destroyer to take the prisoners on board and while this was going on some members of the crew were busy opening the sea cocks below. When the prisoners were removed and a tow line had been attached the captured craft, filling through the open cocks went down. Navy officers assumed that the German sailor who died was wounded by shell fire, though it is understood that Admiral Sims did not clear up that point. A Mercenary Admirer. The engagement between a wealthy poung society woman of Washington and an impecunious business man of a nearby town came dangerously near the "breaking off" point not long ago by reason of the unfortunate mistake of a florist assistant, of wnom tne ' young lover had ordered flowers for his fiancee on her birthday. With a flutter of joyous anticipation the society bud opened the box and gazed with rapt admiration upon the American Beauty roses which reposed within. Then, lovingly taking them out, one by one, she came across a card which she read first with astonishment and then with indignation. Upon the card was inscribed in familiar writing: "Roses.

Relatives of Turlington W. .Moore, of Jacksonville, Fla., received a telegram here last Saturday announcing the death of Mr. Moore and asking that money be sent to pay for preparing and shipping his body to Bennettsville for burial. The money was sent and preparations were made here for the funeral. The grave was dug in Oak Ridge cemetery and it was announced at the churches of the city Sunday morning that the funeral would be at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. The body was expected to ar rive on the noon train, and a crowd of relatives and friends assembled at the depot to meet it. The body did not arrive and 110 explanation of the delay was received. Several people who did not know that the body had not arrived assembled at the cemetery at M:.'10 and waited about an hour. It was generally thought that connection had been missed somewhere, or that there was some unavoidable delay. The trains were met Sunday night, but still the body did not arrive. After the arrival of the last train Jacksonville was called by long distance telephone, and it was learned that Turlington W. Moore wras alive and well, and that the telegram announcing his death was a pure fabrication for the purpose of securing money. Mr. Moore's brother-in-law, Thad Webster, left Monday night for Jacksonville to investigate.?Pee Dee Advocate. Exercise. "My time," said the magnate, "is worth $100 a minute."

Engineer Was in Badly Rundown Condition. Had Spent $200 For Other Medicines Without Receiving Any Benefit. "If everybody knew about the wonderful good Vitona has done me, you wouldn't be able to make it fast enough to supply the demand," said Mr. F. S. Leak, a well-known hostler engineer, who lives at 666 S. Pryor St., Atlanta, Ga., in telling the Vitona representative of the results he had obtained from the preparation. "I gained thirty-five pounds by taking Vitona," he continued, "and I feel like a brand new man. "I suffered with catarrh of the head and stomach for years, and got into a terrible run-down condition. My head ached terribly and my nose was so stoDDed ud I couldn't hardly breathe. I was also bothered with indigestion and had to be very careful about what I ate. I couldn't sleep good and got up every morning feeling about half dead and hardly able to make it to my work. I had such terrible pains in my back at times I could hardly get on and off my engine. I seemed to be losing weight and strength every day. "I heard about Vitona and the good it was doing people with troubles like mine and decided to give it a trial, and it is just wonderful how it has helped me. It got right in after every one of my troubles, and now I am sound and well in every way. I eat anything I want, everything agrees with me, and I have gained thirty-five pounds. I now? sleep fine every night and get up in the morning feeling fresh and ready for a big day's work. I'm not nervous any longer, my head and nose are not stopped up; I don't have headaches. In fact, I am in tip-top shape in every way. Vitona put me in good condition again after I paid out over $200.00 for other medicines that didn't help me one bit. I con sider Vitona in a class by itself." Vitona is sold by Mack's Drug Store, Bamberg, S. C.; Peoples Pharmacy, Denmark, S. C.; J. H. Roberts, Ehrhardt, S. C.?adv.
