Charleston,Sept. 4.?Max Hoffman was the name of the young Austrian who was killed and his blood drunk by the shipwrecked crew of the Norwegian bark Drot. For his death Maurice Andersen and Goodmund Thomassen will have to answer before the courts of Norway. The question of law has been already decided, and Andersen and Thomassen will stand trial for the death of their shipmate in the courts of their native country. Andersen and Thomassen are Swede and Norwegian respectively. The Drot was a Norwegian vessel, and the killing of Hoffman having occurred on the high Bea, the men must answer, according to international law, to the courts of Norway. Andersen and Thomassen have not been informed of the disposition that will be made of them. This information has been held from them that they may rest quietly and have a speedy recova w VT V isiIAMA 4^. ' - ~1 * A umj. t lonuig tu iu? uuiurtuntte men will be, of course, requested by the hospital authorities to reFrain from mentioning this matter to them. Consul 0. O. Witte has been very busy during the past two lays collecting all information and furnishing it to the consul general at New York. Mr. Witte bas been Hooded with telegrams From all parts of the country asking especially about the men and ibout matters on which no information can be ascertained. Mr. Witte has been forced to pigeonbole a great many of these telo?ramp, which have probably ema n Q toH f rAm onnoafi/vwol ..xvwu **vrau OUllOftUUIl m niury writers or yellow page newspapers. The consul is willing to ;ive out scuh information as he jonsiders reasonable and proper, put he will not write wild tales 'or curiosity seekers in all parts )f the country. In this intention le will be upheld by every one who has a spark of sympathy for .he poor unfortunate men now inder treatment at the hospital. Consul Witte this afternoon 'orwanled a full report of the ?ase to the consul general for S'orway in Now York.

Mr. VVitte said that his report stated that the men were doing well, and with the good treatment that they are receiving they will soon recover. The report tells ol the wrecking of the vessel, the names of the crew and other fact* connected with the rescue. The consul general has been in correspondence with Consul VVitte, but he has not yet issued instructions for the deportation of Andersen and Thotnassen to Norway for trial. Consul VVitte u?b eipreHsea u as nis opinion that it will not be possible to remove 1 he men from Charleston for two weeks. They will then be sent to New York under police survilance and then put in charge of the consul general and carried across the water by officers sent from Norway for the purpose. Mr. Witte had a talk with the two men yesterday morning. They told him the names of all the crew, save one, of the Drot. The steward's name neither knew They also repeated the dreadful story of their sufferings on the raft. The following were the ship mates of Andersen and Thomas sen on the raft: Max Hoffman, who was killed, Mate Gabriel Sorenson, John Johnson, Otto Andersen, Christian, Kerverdahl and Oscar Nifcalson. These men were in the forecas tie at 7 o'clock on the afternoon of August 15th when with a n>?r. ticularly hard gust of wind and a mountain of water, the vessel was broken into three pieces. The part of the deck where the forecastle was situated was torn away, and this structure served as a raft for the eight men. It was some hours later when the raft broke and Mate Sorenson and Seaman John Johnson were sep arated on a detached part ot the raft from their companions. The following members of the crow were amidship when the I)rot was torn to pieces, and were swept to the sea and killed or drowned : Capt. Jonas Sorenson, Third Mate Karl Jacobson, Nikoli Tohrpasen, (Justav Tohrgasen, Svend Strobeiul, Oscar Ihnannelson, Peter l'orpetson, William Oustavson and the steward, whose name is not known, hut who was a native of (Jelle, Sweden. It wis developed to day that jthe men subsisted on air about ten days before they were driven to desperation and decided to cast lots. Mate Sorenson and Seamen Johnson had been separated from the rest of the surviving crew some days before the decision to I cast lots was reached. The statement that three men were killed by the famished wretched is incorrect. Only one man was killoil 1>!j ?? "" ~ ? mil iHiliiU IHMV being given for the first time as Max Hoffman. The blood of Oscar Nickolson and Christian Kerverdahl was sucked, but not until both men had dropped dead on the raft. None of their flesh was eaten, but every drop of blood was drained "They are simply perfect," writes Robert Moor*, of Lafayette, I nil., of DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the "famous little pills" for constipation and all lifer ailments.

Ulto Andersen produced a line ; and after putting a piece of llofl. man's flesh on it, he threw the , line overboard and himself with i it. lie was heard to say something like, "Nothing will come of this, anyhow," as he threw the line overboard. The bodies of Nikolson and Kerverdahl were used to feed the sharks. The limbs were dissected and thrown into the sea, not in a snirit of wanton cruelty, but to draw on the sharks from the rafts and for the protection of those who were i on the lloat. As is stated above, Andersen and Thomassen are doing well and will recover A great deal 1 of sympathy is being expressed for the unfortunate people, and the desire is general that the har rowing details should be omitted. This is, however, not entirely possible in reporting the story fully. J. B. THE SOUTH'S RESOURCES.

Pratt Coons, and is the largest in the South. "'Ihis plant started in operation in the fall of 1897, ginning and baling the first year 3,500 bales. Of the crop of 1898 it ginned about 7,000 bales. The proprietors expect to gin and bale 14,000 bales of the present crop. The resultes of this system are untold in their advantages to the farmer and the shipper. This plant has reduced the cost of baling from $2 50 to $1.00 a bale. "The farmer drives his load of cotton to the gin, and can sit on his wagon and rest ten minutes, during which time his wagon is unloaded by machinery, his cotton ginned, baled, sampled and marked and delivered into his wagon together with the seed if he prefers, or if he prefers, he can take a storage ticket for hi* cotton and seed and be bothered no more with his product. But these are not all the advantage*, lie can drive to this gin and sell dis cotton, in any quantity from 100 pounds to 100 tons, at the market price, without having it ginned at all. For the small farmer, this system ia the best of all. He handles his cotton crop in this manner exactly as he does his crop, selling in large or small quantities as he wishes money or has time to deliver."
