% CIGHT COLLISION STOPS U-BOAT'S VOYAGE Deutschland Rams Tug Off l\lew London Harbor on 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." o 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.

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.
