COLLISION STOPS
U-BOAT'S VOYAGE
Deutschland Rams Tug Off

Trip Out.
I
( New London, Conn.?The collision
/ which caused the merchant submarine
Deutschland to abandon her return
voyage to Germany almost at
i A A. 1 A _ 1 1 _ !
11 f outset eany ronay, wnen a convoying
tug, the T. A. Scott, Jr., was
sunk with a crew of five men, was
the subject of federal investigation
this afternoon.
The United States inspectors of
steam vessels, headed by Capt. W. E.
\\ ithy, heard, through witnesses, of
the conditions under which the submarine,
slippnig out of the harbor in
the darkness so that she might submerge
in neutral waters before daybreak,
ran down the tug which was
acting as her protector off Race
Kock, just outside this port. The
testimony came from Capt . Paul
Koenig of the Dsutsehland; from F.
W. Krapohl, his chief officer, and
from Hans Kleese, his chief engineer.
It was given in secret but it
became known through statementoutside
the chamber that the collis
ion was an accident..
Survivors who would d'scurs the
matter were agreed that it was duo
to a combination of swing currents
which carried the tug off its c3urse 1
and across the bow of the submarine
and to the darkness, which was to bo
the Deutschland's medium of safety,
but which instead prevented ready '
observation of the danger ahead. 1
C-apt. Koenig would say only to ques 1
tinners: 1
"It's a terrible thing to lose those
good men. I fell it deeply. You
must excuse me."

With the advent of the County
v i
fair, a band of Gypsies came over .
from where they had been camping
in Marion County, and settled on
some vacant property not far from
the fair grounds. Conway had an
extensive acquaintance with gypsies
about four years ago, and had to
make them leave by threatening to
enforce the laws against vagrancy.

THE HORRY HI
PREPARE FOR HIGH
PRICED FARM ANIMALS
Clemson College, S. C.?More than
a million horses and mules of the
United States have been used for
military purposes in connection with
the European War during the last
eighteen months?that is about one
horse to every twenty in the country.
For s me time before the European
\Y ar prices had sagged until breeders
had barely more than 50 percent of
their mares mated. The war demand
and the few number of animate bred
are bound to bring about high prices
for horses and mules, not only during
the war but for several years after.
There are probably 20,000 mares
on South Carolina Farms, and only
2,000 to 3,000 of these are regularly
producing foals. At least 12,000 of
these mares should be regularly
foaling.
To forestall the shortage and high
prices as much as possible, the logiI
cal thing to do is to put every mare
to raising colts. The average farmer
is not advised to replace all of
his work mules with horses, but a
sufficient number should be kept to
raise animals to replace worn cut
work stock.
Above all, breed to big strongboned
jacks and registered draft
stallions of pure breeding, sound and
of acceptable weight.
o
NOTICE.
There will be an entertainment at
Savannah Bluff School House on
Nov. 29, beginning at 7:80 P. M.
The program will consist of two
plays, an illustrated song and a few
other shorter features, all of which
are good.
Every effort is being made to
make the entertainment a recordbreaker.
A pressing invitation is extended
to the public.
