son RAISERS SIGHTED OFF NEW ENGLAND ? -? '5 '\v ; .. Shipping Practically Tied Up ; I .'I'm While Naval Patrols Search . ' ' for German Ships. Washington, April T.?Reports of German commerce raiders off Atlantic ports were flashed along the seaboard today and all shipping' practically was tied up, while naval patrols went out to establish the identity of mysterious ships reported near the lanes. It was the first breath of war at the doors of America, and it sent a thrill through the country. The first report came from the Nantucket light vessel, which saw a strange ship passing west at 7:30 o'clock this morning and prompth r* nortpd it to the Boston navv van: and the Navy Department. Destroyer flotillas are at sea in the vicinity and presumably they heard the wireless warning which swept the coast line and set out to locate the mysterious craft. Meanwhile shipping was warned not to venture out. One of Virginia. Soon after a report of a raider off the Virginia capes came from Hampton Roads, where shipping also was held in port while armed craft went to sea to investigate.

Maybe There is a Cause For It That You Can Correct. Many who suffer from backache and weak kidneys are unnaturally ir litable, fretful and nervous. Not only does constant backache "get on the nerves," but bad kidneys fail to eliminate ail the uric acid from the system, and uric acid irritates the nerves, keeping1 one "on edge," and causing rheumatic, neuralgic pains. When sufforing so, try Doan's Kidney Pills, the medicine so well-recommended b\ Conway people. Read this Conwa\ resident's statement: Mrs. R. W.

The ctars of the game for Carolina were Captain Hortor. and Bob Waring. The game was a seesaw from beginning to end and it was a toss up uiuil the last inning had been p'ayed. From what the players told on thoir return to Coluni bia, it seems that the umpire was in bad form and called some bum decisions which served to discourage the Carolina boys. It was hoped that Carolina would even matters tip when the Newberry team came to Columbia yesterday for the second game, but it was a pitiful tale after the game. Carolina went all to pieces and allowed Newbrery to deteat them by the ridiculous score of 14 to 1. The game from the second inning was almost a farce. Newberry got of to a large lead before the game was half over and continued to increase their lead until they had fourteen runs to the credit as against a lonesome one for Carolina. But after all it was just an off day with us and we are determined now to go after the other games with the old pep and j fight, and to those teams who are to play us before the close of the season we will tell them they had bettei j lie low, if they want to beat Carolina any more. At the largest student body meeting of the year held Wednes{'?*y 17o students .volunteered for the reserve officers training course which has already been inaugurated at the University under General Henry T. Thompson. Since then the number of enlisted men has increased to more than two hundred. Practically all of the Horry boys have lined up, and getting up now at six to drill has become one of our daily routine duties. The students have become very much interested in the work, and to watch them even this earl; going through their practice at the University field me would be surprised at the im>rovement shown since the first morn ng.

Of great interest was the announce ? n.ent made last week that Victor E. y Rector, principal ot' the Antioch j school in Darlington county, had been tl elected to fill the chair of Agricul- n ture created by the last General As- r sembly for the University. Prof, i Rector graduated from Carolina ir. ( 1909, and since that time has taught ( in Pickens County, in the Phillipine 0 Islands, and at his .present school I near Hartsville. He served in the I last legislature and as a representa- t tive was a strong advocate of large t appropriations for rural schools. 5 Prof. Rector, himself, was the author r of several bills designed to help needy |b rural districts, and to encourage the v teaching of agriculture in rural S schools. Instruction in this depart- jo ment will begin next September and t the students of the University con- a sider themselves fortunate in having c this opportunity placed before them, a In a recent game of baseball between the junior and senior law stu- 1 dents, the juniors were banished by ( a score of 12 to 7. The game from a the view point of a joke, was a mas- ] terpiece. The box score has not yet c been completed, but the official scorer f announced that the number of errors c stood somewhere between zero and infinity. This was the first of a c scries of games to be played between a these two classes. Just now it is not s known when the next one will be I played. 1 The various organizations having t in charge the plans for Easter Week I have been hard at work and the final * arrangements have been concluded.

O GERMANS BLOW UP INTERNED GUNBOAT Rather Than Surrender Vessel Teutons Destroy Cormoran in Harbor of Guam. 1 1 Washington, April 7.?The intern ed German gunbaat Cormoran, at Guam, has been blown up. The Cormoran refused to surrender to the American forces which went to take possession of her and was destroyed by her crew. Two German warrant officers and five enlisted men of the crew were killed in the explosion. Twenty officers, twelve warrant officers and 320 enlisted men were taken prisoners. The Navy Department's announcement said: "The interned German cruiser Cormoran, at Guam, refused to surrender, blew herself up, killing two warrant officers and five enlisted men. Twenty officers, twelve warrant officers and 321 enlisted men were taken prisoners." The message was received at the Navy Department at 9 a. m., today! from Capt. Roy Smith, Governor o.' Guam and commander of the naval station there. The destruction of the Cormoran took place at 8 o'clock last night. Washington time. Continual Conflict.

The next case called up for hearing /.as that of C. C. Gore, Sr., vs Whiteville Lumber Co., the plaintiff claiming damages for cutting timber and running railroad across a tract of land which was claimed by the plaintiff. The first action brought by Mr. Gore was brought in his own name while the second one tried last week was brought in his name and that of his daughter, one Mrs. Lewis. The plaintiff failed to establish title to the tract of land on which he claim ed the trespass had been committed, and the Court granted a non-suit which ended the case. The Court ordered a mistrial in the case of J. Sid Bellamy vs. B. N. Gore and this will come up for trial at a future term of the Court. The case of Whit6ville Lumber Co., vs. L. T. Bryan was wound up by | tnWino" an nnlpv in thn f nii-t tr. nnf-1 ing the relief prayed for by the plaintiff and there was no trial of the action. The court granted a permanent injunction against Mrs. S. Agmes Jor-, dan in the case brought against her by Mrs. Flora J. Holliday prohibiting ?xny trespass of any kind upon the land which were found for the plaintiff by the verdict of the jury. Several other unimportant matters came up in the Court, but occupied very little time and are not deserving of mention. The Court lasted practically all week and did not adjourn until 11 o'clock Saturday. Judge T. H. Spain was accompanied to Conway by Mrs. T.

On several occasions former German Ambassador von Bemstorff app aled to the State Department on behalf of the Cormoran's officers and crew to have the vessel transferred to San Francisco.

The ship had exhausted her fuel supply raiding commerce and was compelled to bum her woodwork structure to make steam under which she reached that port. ?? FARMING IN KANSAS, To the Readers of the Horry FEerald: I hope you will enjoy reading a few linos from an Horry boy in Kansas. When a boy leaves Horry for Kansas they have much to learn. He first has to learn how to harness a home so much higher than he, to feed about three hundred cattle, as large as Horry- mules, before going to work each morning, then have to use farm tools more like automobiles than plows.
