HOMEWARD BOUND.
German Submarine Dentsebland
Makes Sale Gel-Away.
Norfolk, August 2:?The German
merchant submarine Deutschland
passed out the Virginia Capes at
9:30 o'clock tonight, apparently unobserved
by the allied warships waiting
for her, and so far as known
here is now safely upon her homeward
voyage.
Ma imtAmawl inmMont mnrkpH t.hp
departure of the giant submersible.
She was accompanied only by her
tug and a newspaper dispatch boat
when she began an eighteen-mile
dash from lower Chesapeake Bay to
the Capes.
After proceeding slowly most of
the way down, she increased her
power at 6:30 and reached the Capes
just after dusk. None of the allied
cruisers were visible as she passed
through.
Whether she submerged before
reaching the three-mile limit is unknown.
The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared unharmed
and that to all appearances
she had a clear field ahead to a point
where she could submerge in safety.
In Re Winter Gardens.
The recent storm and continued
rains have practically destroyed the
gardens of our county. As soon as
the land is dry enough to plow it
will be well to start fall and winter
gardens. Tomato vines which are
not too badly injured mav be reviv- j
ed by putting one teaspoonful nitrate
of soda about one foot from the
plant and mixing thoroughly with
the soil. As soon as possible cultivate
around the plant with a hoe.
Small tomato plants or limbs cut
from the vine and set the latter part
of July or first of August should
produce a crop which will ripen before
frost. The fruit that fails to
ripe before frost can be kept far into
the winter if wrapped in paper
and laid away in a dark cool place.
Plant Irish potatoes?lay off rows I
two and one-half feet apart using
plenty of leaf mold and well rotted
compost as fertilizer. Look Out
Mountain has been tested and foilnd
i i. 11
to be a variety especially aciapteu
for planting in mid-summer or as a
second crop. These may be left in
ground all winter and used as needed.
(Severals dealer are advertising
this variety in "The State"). Small
potatoes from the spring crop may
also be used.
Snap Beans?Green Pod Stringless
and Refugee are probably two of the
best varieties for home use and for
quick crops.
Peas?(garden)?may be planted
in late summer and when early varieties
are used they will mature before
frost.
Beet, Radish, Squash and Spinach
?May be planted and with favorable
seasons, will be ready for use
before cold weather.
Turnip, Kale, Onion and Salsify?Should
also be planted. These
j are more hardy and should be left
I in crarden all or orreater Dart of cold
months.
A good garden helps reduce the
cost of living. It produces more
real profit per acre than any other
portion of the farm. Our winters
are mild and with a little time and
effort we may have gardens which
will give vegetables during the winter
months a3 well as the summer
months.

WILL WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY I
GET GOVERNMENT AID?
(Concluded from p*|i 4)
not knowing how they shall be provided
for. |
Next Saturday, the 5th, the State
campaign party will reach Kingstree,
and since there is so little for the farm- J
era to do, or that they can do, I expect
to see a large crowd attending the meeting.
For this reason I want you to arrange
to come to that meeting, and I
wish you to ask Congressmen Whaley
and Lever to come with you, for there
will be an opportunity for you all to get
first-hand information from the best
representative men from the several
communities in the county relative to
the situation, and if Congress does not
o/?f kafnro vnn trf t back to Washington.
it will certainly do so upon your return,
and the deliverance of the message that
our people shall send.
In the meantime, weigh all of the sugfestions
which are now coming to you
y mail and by wire, and, using your
judgment as to the best and quickest
route to relief,act as seems best to you,
and Williamsburg will ever feel grateful.
?
It would be wrong to close this letter
without thanking you for the interest
and the efforts you have already shown.
Yours very truly,
E C Epps.
Washington, D C, July 29.
Hon E C Epps,
Kingstree, S C.
My dear Senator Epps:?I received
your letter and wired you back as follows:
"Not necessary to come to Washington.
Writing you fully today." I
have gone over the situation very carefully
with the Secretary of War, and
he has today transmitted a recommendation
to Chairman Hay of the Military
committee, a copy of which I enclose
herewith. You will note that he recommends
an appropriation of $540,000 for
North and South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi and Georgia. He agrees
with me as to the work that should be
done, as you will note by his recommendation.
I do not know just when I
can get into your county, as I am going
to speak in Dillon Monday and come i
back to Washington immediately. The j
committee bill will be reported put by |
the Military committee Monday, as I j
have been assured by Chairman Hay,
and of course I cannot do anything that
day, but I shall be there and ready to
co-operate in tne passing 01 w>e ibw uh
Wednesday, and will do everything that
I possibly can to relieve our people. Unfortunately
Major Youngblake, relying
on the report of Mr Fitzsimmons, reported
adversely on governmental aid
for our country, but the Secretary's recommendation
included South Carolina,
and I am very glad to say that we convinced
him that we had suffered to the
extent that we required help. You can
use Mr Hay's letter for any purpose
you wish, as it is not confidential.
With kindest regards and best wishes,
I am,
I Yours very truly,
J W &AGSDALE.
