INDIES OF VICTIMS I ARE NOT YET FOUND Members of the Party on IIIFated Yacht Julia NO TRACE OF THEM Unceasing* Efforts to Find Vic- j tims in North Carolina Horror Unsuccessful. Early reports received today are to mr tsiiect mat sun no trace has been found of the bodies of J. W. Murray, of Burlington, Mrs. W. E. Porch, of Beaufort, and (J. P. Dodson, of Norfolk, Ya., who went down off Long Shoal river near New Born, N. C., early Friday morning when the pleasure yacht Julia en route from Norfolk to Beaufort sunk after her gasolene tanks exploded. The searching parties kept up their work and so tar as has been reported, not even a piece of theboat has been found. With 30 gallons or more of gasoline, aboard, local marine experts declare that this would have practically torn the craft into kindling woou as the force of the explosion would have been terrific, and this, in a measure, I accounts for the fact that no part of bhe boat have been found. Whether i the bodies of those lost were mangled * by the force of the explosion is u mat-1 j Jtcr of speculation, and, according to I the opinion of those who are familiar with accidents of this kind, it depends' much upon where they were located at tlie time and how near thov to the tanks. Another thing that makes difficult i the task of finoii:g the bodies is the fact that during the past few days the section in which the catastrophe oc-' eurred, lias been swept by storms and it was on this account that the boat and its crew were held by for a day at { Elizabeth City. With the wind and , water worked up by the elements the j bodies may have been swept miles i away and it may be weeks before they ^ come to the surface and are located, t But for the fact that a fisherman i who was in the vicinity of the accident saw the glare of -the burning t gasoline, there would probably not t have been a single survivor left to tell 1 -the story of this terrible tragedy 1 which has shocked the entire Atlantic i coast. As soon as he saw the flash of the explosion the boatman steered , his craft to that point. By the time i he arrived the Julia had gone down < and the scene was covered with pall i of blackness, the only light being giv- I en was from a small lantern on his 1 - ? uoat ancl the stars. Searching care- j fully over the water he saw Mrs. , Murray clinging to a piece of plank and succeeded in getting her aboard > and at once steered his craft toward Englehard several miles away. i Upon arrival at Englehard Mrs. Murray was given medical attention ( by a physician, the exposure combined with the shock of losing her husband has prostrated her. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Murray had wanted to make this trip with her parents, but the intervention of fate prevented this and there is every probability that she would have been among those who went down had she gone. Mrs. Murray's physician is not allowing her strength to be taxed just yet with giving out any lengthy interviews and the only thing she has said in regard to the affair was a short account of the explosion in which she stated that some one of those aboard struck a match and this caused the gasoline, which had leaked from the tanks, to become ignited and the explosion followed. Solicitor Charles L. Abernathy and R. A. Cherry, who are stockholders in Ye Olde Colony Inn at Beaufort in which Mr. Murray was interested and which W E I'orcli whose, wife was lost is the manager, have been at the scene of the tragedy assisting in the search. Mrs. Murray will ho carried to her home at Burlington as soon as she is, able to travel. Stop the Child's Cold; They Often Re-j suit Seriously.

Rloase's last official act before resigning as governor was to grant clemency to twenty-three more convicts, bringing his total list up to 1,708, not including the 1,000, he pardoned out on parole. Mease's claim for holding the record for pardons is undisputed and the "pardoning Governor" has kept up the habit to the last. "Kinis" has now been written on the free use of the pardoning power.

This State H;is Largest Percentage Wheal Increase in In ion. Clemson College, Jan. 18th.?Sr>ntb Carolina leads all the states of the Union in the percentage of increase n acreage of winter wheat over last year, according to statistics received at Clemson College from the United States Department of Agriculture. On December 1, when the government's estimates were made, the wheat acreage in South Carolina was three times as groat as that of last year, which is to say that the increase amounts to 200 per cent. This is the largest percentage of increase in winter wheat acreage in the entire United States, the average of increase for the whole country beingonly about 11 per cent. The acreage in wheat last year in this State was 82,000 acres and the government's estimate of the acreage planted this season, up to December 1, is 240,000 acres. Reports received at Clemson since December 1 warrant the belief that the final figures will show nearly 800,000 acres in South Carolina to have been sown to wheat this season. The figures are based on reports from the country demonstration agents of Clemson College, who began working among their neighbors in the interest of small grain sowing shortly after the Aiiflvi'/iol/ (lin gni'AnftOn u n i> (t n r> VUWW I V(VI\ \/| ? v' V/ iv^ of the most gratifying features of the wheat report of the government is that the oondition of the crops in South Carolina on December 1 was 96, four points above the ten year average, and the weather since then has been excellent for the grain. In vew of this, with continued favorable conditions, the average yield of the state should be larger than in normal years.

GERMANS GAINED SOME On Other Fronts Battle Went Rather Against Germany Making Even Break. A reverse of the Allies along1 the Aisne in the neighborhood of Soissons was admitted in the latest French official statement, although the possible effect of the German advance was officially minimized. After continuous engagements, , ,..u: K i ' i wumi uisiPd nearly two days, the Germans forced the French to yield in front of Vregny, east of Crou. The French war office explains that the flooding of the river Aisne destroyed several bridges and thus rendered pre carious the communications of the troops operating on the right bank. These troops were withdrawn, as it was thought impossib.^ to send reinforcemeats to their support. "The success is a partial one for our adversaries, said the French otatc lent, "but will have no influcncon the operations as a whole." Iv.nperor William himself was pres t at these operations, which vesultc< in pture of several thousand French prisoners and were continued througl* i January 12 and 13.

GET FREIGHT RATES ADVISES W. W. LONG. State Agent, in Letter on Grain Marketing Problems, Urges Rate Changes First. Clemson College, Jan. 18th.?Obtaining interstate rates from production points to concentration points and commodity rates on grain to Charleston, Richmond, Baltimore and Norfolk is the course urged upon the business and agricultural interests of South Carolina by W. VV. Long, SJfnfo oirniit *' v i/i demonstration and director of extension of Clomson College, in a letter to the chambers of commerce, bankers and business men of South Carolina Mr. Long* urges prompt action on the rate situation for wheat and oats, lie writes: "It seems to me that the first step to be taken is to obtain such local rates within the State as will facilitate the concentration of grain for interstate shipment. The natural | outlets for our wheat surplus seem to be: Charleston for coastwise shipments, which would have to bo in sacks since there are no facilities in Charleston for handling bulk grain on the piers; Richmond as a mill market and Baltimore and Norfolk | for export in bulk," To the chambers of commerce, Mr. Long suggetss: "I would rcspectifully suggest t' at you call a meeting of your body for the purpose of discussing this situa-1 lion and taking definite action. The wisest procedure that suggests itself to me is that you petition the State Railroad Commission to take up the i matter of interstate grain rates immediately ; further that your body i petition the railroads directly and, if: necessary, the Interstate Commerce | Commission at Washington, for the immediate establishment of commodity rates on grain to the ports, both in sack and in bulk." Another side of the small grain problem to which attention is directed is the need for having one or more business men in each community arrange to handle the grain pur-, chased from wagons from farmers) who are not shipping, but trying to dispose of small surpluses on the local markets. Mr. Long is opposed to the constrution of expensive grain elevators in South Carolina. He says: "I cannot agree (and I think m\ position will be sustained by the Ollice of Markets at Washington) with those who have been advocating the erection of elevators for the handling of grain in South Carolina. Maryland, northern Virginia, and Pennsylvania grow large quantities of grain and the grain is handled both in( sacks and in car lots. Yet there are not a half dozen elevators in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, other than at teiminal points. "Let us not forget that th;> quantity of grain we shall produce in South Carolina this year is unusual, the result of an unusual state of affairs, and that when affairs have resumed their normal state and cotton has climbed back to its average price, of the several years last past, it is more than likely that our farmers will, except in a few individual instances cease to produce a greater amount of grain than is sufficient for their home consumption." Mr. Long( then proceeds to outline what he hopes will be the agricultural situation in the state when normal conditions havr> returned at-H certain lessons have had their influence, concluding with the statement that "winter grain will never play more than a minor part as a market crop in the ordinary agricultural regime of South Carolina. I cannot, therefore, advise the construction of grain elevators to take care of a situation which may be called transient." ( However, Mr. Long urges the need of mills for grinding both wheat and corn and says that unless more local grinding mills are established, it will be difficult to try to make people produce their home supplies of the grains. He points out that there will be a large increase in cotton acreage this year, making it all the more important that grinding mills be constructed, and further, that communities equip themselves to prepare the surplus corn for market. Mr. Long suggests a plan by which corn may be prepared for market at the gin houses just as is cotton and outlines a method which would be inexpensive. Mr. Lone announces this letter as the "grain-marketing suggestions recommended for 1915 by the cooperating forces of Cleinson College ad the United States Department of Agriculture." The leter will he put in printed form and a copy may be ob! taincd by any one who writes for it to the extension division of Chanson College.

Germans He take Some Lost rs * urovinci. Last wn ?amc in and wont toward its close vviinout any great victory being gained on any of the contending sides in the European struggle. The following statement which was sent out over the world from London, England last Thursday, gives a clear state ment of how matters stood: Battles, large and small, all having an important bearing on the situation are raging at widely separated points in Europe and Asia. The Turks have occupied the Persian town of Tabriz, which is a battling with the Russians in the I Caucasus, and are reported to be making preparations to invade Egypt. | The Russians have resumed the offensive in East Prussia, while the Germans continue to attack them in i Poland, and they again are trying to cross the Nida river in Southern Poland, held by the Ausrians. The battle creating the greatest in | torcst is that in the Aisne Valley, northeast , of Soissons where the French have been attacking the German entrenchments for a week. They took important positions Friday and again Sunday, but the Germans, bring ing up reinforcements, recovered some of the lost ground. Otherwise, the unfavorable weather has compelled the Germans and Allies to confine i themselves to artillery engagements. Renewed Russian aetiviey in Fast Prussia indicates that the freezing I over of the Mazurian lakes has occurred at last, for otherwise it would be I impossible for troops to advance , through the narrow defiles defended : by the Germans. The Russians claim I also to have made another advance I southwest of Rawa, another indica| tion that they contemplate a repetition of their attempt at an invasion of East Prussia from the Fast and South i despite the fact that repeated German attacks south of the lower Vistula in Poland are keeping them fairly busy. There attacks are being made at different points and, according to the Russian official statements, are easily repelled. RED BARNS IN SOUTH CAROLINA Many new barns are being built in the rural districts of South Carolina. Building material dealers in all sections of the State report an unprecedented demand for barn lumber and red paint. Next to the home, the barn is the most important building on the farm, and wherever red barns exist there frugality and I prosperity abides supreme. The rapid construction of new barns in South Carolina if lifting into a higher zone of utility and is establishing a new era in our industrial progress. No community can proceed far into its agricultural economy until its stock are well sheltered and its crops are housed.
