The dramatic story of the sinking of the German raider Koenigsberg, on tho coast of cast Africa, has just been tJld by Captain Willctt of the British merchant ship Newbridge. The Koenigsberg, which was a light cruiser of about the same class as the Emden, Drasdeu, and Karlsruhe, mounting only 4.1-iuch guns, was in company with a smaller Gorman ship when chased by the British squadron, which included, It is believed, several armored cruisers of the County class. The smaller ship was sunk, but tho Koenigsberg succeeded In getting be hind the Mafia Islands and some dis tance up the river, where sho wan completely screened by tho bend of the river, and where the British heavier draft ships could not folhfw her. They also, it uppcars, landed a detachment who mounted some light guns on the hank as a defense against attack by a British boat expedition. Tho British, however, contented themselves with bottling up - the KoenigBberg by sinking Captain WI11 ett's ship ih tho channel. They then waited for the arrival of a seaplane, which flew up tho river and indicated the position of tho German cruiser by dropping somko bombs. The Germans had hid thir ship close to tho bunk under cover of some nalm aroves and hod covered her with foliage. Tho aviator, how- J ever, was ablo to make her out and to direct the fire of the British ships j so accurately fty signalB that the j cruiser was completely destroyed.

IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK STOMACH, INDIGESTION, GAS 'Pane's Diapepsin" is the quick* est and surest Stomach, relief. It is planned to collect/eggs along the route as .well as cream.

To the Editor of The Intelligencer: In your Issue of the 4th lnat.< un der the caption, 'What Will Our Del-1 egatloh Do?" you editorially presume to censure the delegation for its hes itancy in making an appropriation of 1800 for farm demonstration, work in Anderson County and inferentially at tribute thlB hesitancy to the Influence of two members of the - delegation, designated by you as "Doutblng ThomaBaa." - . From tho number of teegramo.com ing to mo from solicitous advocates of the appropriation, I take.it that I am ono of tho "Doubting Thomases" re ferred to. For your enlightenment, I . advise that the delegation has acted In har mony throughout In the matter. While I have had my own convictions, I have held these in abeyance and have assured the farmers In the delegation Ibat 1 would support anything In this connection which they felt disposed to recommend. Here ore a few facts for your con sideration: Tho delegation had pledg ed an appropriation of. $075 for the ru ral economic work for girls; tho del egation felt, morally obligated to make -.h appropriation of $100 to pay a de dit In the salary-of the former farm demonstrator; a salary of $900 had to be provided for the deputy sheriff ; the clerk of court heeded $1500 for equip ment; andi In addition to all this, there was confronting us, an ezlsting coun ty indebtedness of $20,000. . To further ombarass the dologatton the former delegation had reduced tho tax levy practically two and one half mills below what would, produce suf ficient revenue to defray the. county's necessary expenses In normal condi tions. Th? delegation is progressive In its policy but not disposed to make ap propriations without duo deliberation and not unttl It feels reasonably as sured of some - available source ' of funds from which the county Can L.-eet its obligations so Incurred.

FELTON CON CERNING PROPOSED BULL ASKS OPINION School Districts Would Have to Vote Off Law Instead of Vot ing It on. Outlining hla'compuloory achool at- . tendance bill and requesting that ?C be-approves of it ho write to Gover nor Kleba ni I. Manning and give hla views oil the subject, State Superin tendent of Education Ji E. Swcorln gen has addressed an interesting communication to County Superintend ent of Education J. U. Foltoh. Tho general public, it appeara, hm but a hazy conception of the provis ions of tho Swearingcu bill; and for that reason the letter from Mr. Swcar ingen explaining its various points will be of particular Interest to thoso concerned about the matter.. One In teresting point about the proposed bill is that it is to ho a local option af fair, but instead of school districts voting on tho question of whether or not they will have compulsory school attendance they will.vote on tho ques- ' tton of repealing the law so far as that particular district is concerned. In other words, a school district will have to vote off the compulsory school attendance law instead of voting it"'' on. The letter from Mr. Sweurlugen ex plaining tho bill Ib as follown The compulsory school attendance bill, which was discussed at the con- ' , fcrenco of county superintendents in Columbia, January 20th. 2?Bt and 22nd and before the point session of tho senate and house committees on edu cation January 21st, is now on the f' calendar of both brunches of the gen eral assembly. In tho senate it Is in the hands of Senator Sinklcr of Charleston. In the h on so it is in the hands of Represen tative Hawkins of Greenville. As you recall this bill in to go Into operation July 1, 1915 throughout , the . State. Section 12 of tho bill provides,... that any district, aggregation of ad joining districts, city, or county may.jv suspend the operation of tiro iaw upon - the written petition of a majority of the qualified electors residing in said district, aggregation of adjoining dis.- , tricts. city, town, or county. This Is tho local option feature of - the measure. Suspension 1b not; to be ; less than one year, or more than two years,. and renewal ?may be secured upon a petition signed by a nmjorlty of the qualified electors as before. - I bollove sincerely in the) principle of Democratic local self, government. I am willing for\the people of any district or county to-decide upon the . operation of the law, it thoy do not ' desire compulsory attendance' In my opinion , this petition places %ho ras- ' ponsibllity of non-attendance upon tho opponents of the principle. If you believe that this proposed" bill in its local option feature retains local self-government in your county -. ar.d will help your schools, please "write immediately, expressing your - oplneln in full to Gcv.
