GERMAN OFFICER DESCRIAES VEAT Commander of Turkish Craft Gives In cident Showing Quick Wit in Peril. Constantinople, July 15. - Capt. Lieut. Rudolpr Firle, commander of the Turkish torpedo boat Muavent, which sout the British line ship' Go liath to the bottom of Mforto bay off SId-el-iahr in the Dardanelles, has told his own full story of his exploit to the Associated Press correspond ent, amplifying with some interesting detals the earlier accounts. Capt. Firle is a young wan of 33 years, but looks ito morn than 26. He is a l1hinelamer, slight in build, and speaks 1English al'most without foreign accent. The torpedo boat he coin mande(d was one of four vessels of the saie class which were transferred from cerman to Turkish ownershtip several years ago. Before her change in owiorship she was known as the S-165. When asked to relate his experience in sinking the Goliath, Capt. Firle proceeded with this straightforward, matter-of-fact narrative: "The BritIsh ships off the Darda nelles entrance were causing the Turkish I roops near SId-el-Iahr some trouble. It was decided that something would have to be done to riemove a little of the onesidediess of the affair. "Shortly after midnight, May 12-13, the M latlI slipped through the Turkish mine field and approached t(he BirItish fleet of warships and traispork which was lying in and south o lito hay. 'As we passed one of the lost prom ontories the British fleet, with every hole lit and projector playing, gave all file Impression of a large city let me say like lKiel on Regatta day. "The IrWitissh Ships had ont that day kept it the bombardment of the 'irk ish positions tint i after 11 o'clock at -night.

"It was prcven shortly afterwards thiat this theory was correct. "We continued down tle strait at, a lei.urely gait of from seven to et0hh knots an h0lour.

I'LD UP THE SOIL BY USE OF LE(AUMES Let These Vatherers of Nitrogen Share the Farm This Winter With Oats and Wheat. Clemson College, August ld.-For three years the demonstration forces of Clemson College and the United States department of agriculture have put soil-building in the very front of the things they have been teaching South Carolina farmers, for the rea son that they believed that the most serious limiting factor in Southern ag riculture is the lack of hunius, or de eayed vegetable matter, in the soil. Giant strides in soil-building have been taken by the state during these three years, but there are many farms which have not yet felt the invigorat ing influence of good soil-building iethods and this work will be con finuied energetically uintil the state has been completely won to soil-building. Many experimients have proved that lie (ilekest and most economical way to build uiP worn-out soils is by using tle wiiter legumes. such as burr and crimson clover and vetch. The use of lie clovers and vetchles as winter cover crops was accordingly iade the principal point of attack by the deub oustration forces and the resualts since 1909, when South Carolina had only 2187 acres in (lover of all kinds, are commonly known. Last fall, owing to the advisability of growing imloney crops dui ring wilnter and to the (Iltliculty of obtaining win ler legume seed, Clemson College ised its principal efforts to have farm ers seed their land to wheat and oats and the results have justilled this. !lut there was tievessarily not so big an acreage in winter legumnes last year 1s there wou hi have bee n had tile war not begin wheni it did. This year, mioreover, Clemson Col Iegv is again uirgintg fari(ers to sow wheat and oats and again it is likely that there will be less interest il elover thaln there would have beeni hatidlthis beeni a year of nortna1 cond(1i tions.

Many progressive citizens of the New Prospect section of this county met last Friday and organized a creamery club. Fifteen mejnbers were enrolled at the meeting and fifty cows were entered for the service. The creamery club idea is being thorough ly boosted by the experts at Clemson College and this local club is based on the facts and figures furnished by the authorities there. Tho' Clemson authorties are willing to give all the aid possible in creating these cream cries over the state and they will in all probability send an inspector to New Prospect to help in selecting the most convenient route. At the meeting last Friday Mr. J. 11. Powers was elected president of the organization apd Mr. W. 1. Clink scales was elected secretary. It is to these two hustling farmers that most of the credit is due for this progres sive movement. It is the first in this county but those who are interestea in the wlfare of the county as a whole are hoping that other sections will take up the matter in the near future. They have been operated most successfully in many other sections of the state and undoubtedly can be made just as successful if not more so in Laurens county. Laurens 3iil Wins Again. In an unusually exciting and close game last Saturday the Laurens Mill teai defeated the Cross Anchor team by the score of three to two.

The batteries were Laurens: Medlock' and Burgess; Cross Anchor: Kirby and Dobo. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** A TL Ill I1) 1101'11. * * TIIUIRSDAY, AU. 19T1. * * * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * ** "The Scarlet.

It contains a itrmendouts appeal as a result of its red-blooded story; which shows a minister fighting against monstrous odds b1oth in his family and amongst his diocese, a hard and crude collec tion of miners.
