V VOLUME XXXIV. MANY OFFICERS NAMED IN LIST " , German Admiralty Charge De %ire to Paralyze German Naval Aspirations , FEW PEOPLE VENTURE ^ OPINION AS TO ACTION Inclined to Be Skeptical as to Seriousness of Allied Demand for Extrcv'.ilion. Ilerlin.?Twelve admirals, two hi}.','* seas' fleet commanders, thirty Ul)oat captains and numerous other officers of the German navy are included in the list of Germans who e extradition is demanded by the Entente powers. The names of very nearly all the naval and high seas - staffs are. found in the list. Admiral Von Mueller, chief of the secret naval cabinet, was permanently attached to great headquarters where he was counted among former Emperor William's personal confidential advisers. In addition the Allies de mand Admiral Von Tirpitz, Admiral Von Cappelle, and Admiral Von Trotha, who were successively secretaries of the navy. Admiralty officers who will discuss the list charge that the wholesale demand for German naval offi^ cers indicated the Entente's desire U> 'permanently paralyze German na\al aspirations," and the piesence of names like those of Admiral Von TTiipitz ami' Admiral Von Mueller is ridiculed. Admiral Von Schroder commanded the Flanders naval base and it was under hi - jurisdiction that Captaii ^ Fryatt, later executed, was captured. 30 S?ub Commanders. Out of a total of 500 German sub marine commanders, the Entente powers have called for only thirty, who, presumably, are suspected of havi -.g exceeded their legitimate instructions. These comprise all the prominent U-bcat operators. The admiralty admitted losing 2d0 U boats and it is estimated 1G0 \vcreal the close of the conflict. Commander lloekcr is an aviator who attempted a sensational Zeppelin flight to the German colony in j the heart of Africa. Officials are unable to account for the absence of the nJlK'cs of Zeppelin commanders who bombed London. Captain Nerger, whose name was included in the list, was commander of the German commerce raider Wolff. Few persons in Berlin today would venture any opinion as to what action would be taken but were incline 9 cd to be skeptical in regard to seriousness of the Allied demand for extradition. They were inclired to believe it to be the prelude of a demand for a staggering indemnity, or an Allied move in some other direction. , I Expected Names Not Listed. I The Morgenpost noted the absence I f 1'G^ tlie list of many names that I mipjftjiave been expected. It points as an instance, that the name of v?aptain Sauerweig, commonly -chargI ed with having been actively identiI fied with the executon of Miss Cavell, does not appear. Dr. Karl Helfferich, former vice chancellor, asserted at the trial of the libel suit brought against him Mathias Erzberger that he would ^ provO that Evzbcrgor, during the I critical days- at Weimar, when the question of signing the Versailles treaty was acute, claimed to be in possession of definite information that the Entente would recede from i n on the extradition issue. ThcJran*Gcrmanic Deutsche Zei1 ung "alls upon all holdei*s of the iron cross "to wear them as a mute prctort against this miserable de and, hut with flaming eyes and in the piwul cor.scousr.oss that we were \ in bun 'reds of battles." % V \ Wat / HORRY INDUSTRIAL NEEDS AMOUNT ASKED Rev. S. C. Morris is After the Undeveloped Youth of Horry County. m^mmtmarnmrnrn The Rev. J. Hubert Noland writes of Horry County, and the Horry Industrial School, in a recent issue of the Southern Christian Advocate, as follows: Marion District covers a wide territory, extending between the Pee Dee river and the North Carolina line, and including the lower portion oi' Marlboro county, the counties of Dillon, Marion and Horry; and Horry, you know, looks out upon th ? Atlantic Ocean, and is the Independent Republic within the freest state in the Union. It is there that the Rev. S. C. Morris is giving himself to a task that calls for the highest order of consecration. Why do we rave over educational missions to the far-away Cathays, or expend thousands upon the education of the brother-in-black, or look with eyes wide-open at the so-called Mill problem, and shut our eyes, withhold our ?unnnrf nnd nvnn nr'i f'net nslnon nf". ~J t~> ' ??-r ? the name of The Horry Industrial School? Yet that is missions, education, and problem, all combined; and Sam Morris deserves a triple crown. But he does not ask for crowns. He wants shillings an 1 pence! He is in an agricultural country the half of which has nevcv been told. He is not a land agent booming the lands of Horry. He is after the undeveloped youth of that section. His institution should not be side-tracked for any other. By unanimous vote the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, the South Carolina Conference at its recent session, through recommendations of the Boards of Missions and Education, recommend that One Hundred^JThous and Dollars be asked for the Horry Industrial School from the Educational Drive; And, whereas, the Educational Commission has cut this down to Seventy-five Thousand Dollars; Resolved, that the Marion District Preachers' Meeting request the Commission at its meeting on February 24th, most earnestly to restore the original asking of One Hundred Thousand Dollars in order that the school may build the plant absolutely necessary to carry on its work." o OYSTER SUPPER. The ladies of the Aynor Br p list church will give an Oyster Supper at the School Hoose on Friday night Feb. 13, 1920. Public cordially invited. ?(H.) germanTtTrefuse DEMANDS OF ALLIES Berlin.?Surrender of tae men do manded by the allies is impssib'e the Assnciated Press was informe by a member of the government ai the conclusion of cabinet session.

P., THURSDAY, HORRY COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY A school survey of the county is being- made by the State Department of Education, assisted by the County Superintendent of Education. This accounts for Supt. Bullock's bci' g out of his office ^nearly every day except Saturdays and salesdays. This work has been going on for some time and will continue for two or three months. One of the State Supervisors of rural schools is travelling with the County Superintendent, photographing the school houses and writing up conditions just as he finds them, both inside and out-? side of the building. Every school district will be visited and the conditions as seen by an expert will be published in book form by the' State Department of Education. While most of the schools visited so far have been neat and well kept, and showed other admirable features, u few of them have been so lacking in neatness, cleanliness, and good order ! as to be a matter of deep regret. When this book is published we shall be able to see ourselves as .others see us. Mr. BullPck has been trying to get the State Superintendent of Education to make this survey for several years and has at last succeeded. We think Supt. j Swearingen was fortunate in sccur , nig such a man as Mr. J. V. McElveen to help in this work. He is a graduate of a State university and has specialized, in a school of education. He has been a teacher, a county superintendent of education, and is now one of the state supervisors of rural schools. When this work is completed the book will be sent, not only over South Carolina, but into every state in the union. It is a matter of pride with us that | Horry is selected as the third coun' ty in the state in which this work is done. This survey will not only do us good but open the eyes of the Legislature as to the needs and possibilities of jone of the whitest counties in the State?the Independent Republic of Horry. ? o W. J. Hughes, of Loris, S. C., was among the business men from thaisection visiting Conway the latter part of last week.

POT MiSHOE IS inniiApn AP AUliUdtU Uh UUMINIs His Employer, C. C. Maynard While at Howell's Siding on Saturday AFTER WORDS ABOUT MISTREATING MULES Mishoe Handed Over Keys and Commenced Cutting Without Warning. An employee of C. C. Maynard by the name of Pet Misl oe, a son of > May Mishoe of the Adi:an section, slashed his employer, C. C. Maynard, with a knife last Saturday morning, so that it was uncertain ' that some of the ga ins w uld provo to be of a serious nature: although, Mr. Maynard was brought to the Burroughs Hospital, wheva his num' eroua wounds were dressed and left the Hospital and came down Main \ Street at about noon time. Some 1 men saw him fall near the store of the Spivey Mercantile Company an 1 he was taken to the Horry Drug Company where Dr. Burroughs was ' again called. Maynard had thought that he was alright after being ' treated at the Hospital but appar1 ontly he was in a very weak condition when he fell on the street. At last accounts it was impossible to tell how serious his wounds might ' prove to be. The difficulty came about at an early hour last Saturday morning when Mishoe was driving a * pair of mules and was jerking the ' animals, when his employer objected, and required him to quit it. It is stated that Mishoe got off the wagon, took out his knife and proceeded to cut his employer almost to pieces. * C. C. Maynard originally lived at Cheraw, S. C., and since then has resided at Howell's Siding, and was engaged in the saw mill business at ' the time of his injuries. Mr. Maynard stated later that the cutting took place an hour or two after the words about jerking the mules, that Mishoe went on off and worked that time, and later came oaeK anct gave mm tno Keys with ni left hand, while he had his right hand concealed in his pocket with an open knife and begun the cutting without any warning.
