Capt. J. Jenk.ns. entered at the Char?

lies an anchor off the works of the
Planters' Fertiliser Company, where
she Is to discharge her cargo of some
3.000 tons of Peruvian guano, con?
signed to the Vltrate Agencies Com?

The bark sailed from the Pesca?

European cataclysm commenced. Out

pearing type of sailing craft heat
around the Horn, bringing her cargo
safely to Charleston after a singularly
thrilling and harrowing voyage. Capt.
Jenkins says that he would not go
through the *ame experiences again it*
the Harold were presented to him.
It was Just before the rounding of
the Horn that notification of the out?
break of war was had. The Chinese
cook sat on watch one night, bitterly
mourning the fate of the ship's cat,
Wang, which tried to do a slack wire
stunt once too often In the rigging
of th ? ship, and phophecylng evil to
com* when he was startled, and the
crew were awakened by the screams
of a shell across the very bows of the
vessel. The screech of the shell was
accompanied by a nearby and hoarse
command to heave to. The Harold
hove to and a small boat came along?
side from a British cruiser, which no?
tified them that war had bten dcclar
' ed betweer Oreat Britain and Oer
many, in reply to Capt. Jenkin s in?
dignant query as to their right to tire
upon his vessel. The Harold was
waraed by the man-of-war's men that
they had better douse all lights, as
the Karlsruhe was lying on the other
side of the Straits of Magellan and
had sent a number of British mer?
chantmen to the bottom. Forthwith
th? lights of the bark were put out
and she proceeded on her wlndjam
min ( expedition In darkness, after her
papers had been examined by a Brit?
ish officer.
A sharp lookout was kept for mon
of-nar, after rounding the Horn, in
rounding that point very heavy weath?
er was encountered, and desperate
cold was the portion of the Harold,
as she passed through the height or
the winter season ander the presence
of the Antarctic C.tcle. Heavy seas
bro.<e over the ship from time to
time, and the crew had to free the
lines from Ice by climbing up on the
main chain and going at the lee with
hatchets.
Keeping out of the usual lanes of
travel, the Harold laid a northwester?
ly course until after crossing the
Equator, and then she began to come
In toward the shores of the I'nlted
States. Dodging back and forth when?
ever any funnels hove in sight, trav?

his craft to the Barbndoes on tiftobei

dale. D. II. Kpps and Heath-Mass*y
Mori ow company against Robert R.
b\ arborough and Ilartwcll U. Cross
v ell. The opinion was by Associate
'Justice Oage. The case grew out of
the section of the constitution pro?
hibiting the general assembly from
enacting special laws where a ,'eneral
law can be made applicable.
The first aei in question undertook
to prescribe how cotton seed shouul
, be sold in Chester, Lancaster and
i )rar.gcburg and the 3econd to ex
| elude Orangeburg and add Lee. The
appeal came from Lee after 'he cir?
cuit court there held the law to be
repugnant to the constitution.
The lirst contention was that the
general assembly and no! the courts
i must Judge if a general law can be
made applicable. The eourt held that
there is good authority for that view,
but that it has decided "that the
courts must judge ihat issue."
Tho court says: "Cotton, and that
includes it's seed, is the staple prod?
uct of the state and the South; in this
y?ar of gTaco the frightful coll ipse
el its price, incident to a well nigh
universal yar. has shocked two con?

Mr. Held Whltford, secretary and en?
gineer of the sanitary and drainage
commission, before he left here I till
week for Charleston, after having a
conference with the experts of the
federal government.
Mr. Whitford has worked out a
new process of construction whereby
a road will be waterproof and hard in
wc\ weather. Director Logan Waller
Pago and the engineers of the good
roads division of the department of
agriculture have approved the con?
ception as thoroughly practicable, but
it WtM be necessary to develop new
rot.d-making machinery to do the
work. Accordingly, Mr. Whitford has
personally visited certain manufac?
turers in Pennsylvania, and the ma
chires are now being constructed on
his own speculations.
Bg invitation of Director Page, Mr.
Whitford was one of about 70 engi?

More to Conic in.
Columbia, Nov. 20.?John L. Mc
Laurln, State warehouse commission -
cr, was notified yesterday that New
York hanks regarded the State ware?
house receipts more valuable than
those issued oy independent storage
corporations. This information was
carried In a telegram from Wade
Stackhouse, M. D., president of the
South Carolina division of the Cotton
congress. The message was sent from
Washington, and read:
"I showed your warehouse receipts
to several business men in New York.
I The cashier of the National Park bank
and others tedd me they thought yo\i
receipt would bo much more valuable]
I than local receipts and they thought
it would be well worth the extra cost
of getting your receipt."
At the request of senator McLaurin,
Dr. Stackhouse took the State Ware?
house act and copies of all the blanks
to New York, for the purpose of sub?
mitting the m to ca.pitalists and others.
Dr. Stackhouse has a standard ware
houss at Dillon full of cotton, which
will entail some expense in unpacking
and grading to meet reciuirements of
the State and w ished te> see if it would
pay to do this.

MORE VESSELS ARE NEEDED.
Now That Cotton Has Rccn Declared
I
Non-Contraband Shipping Facilities
Should bo Provided.
From The Daily Item, Nov. 20.
Senator Smith in an interview in
Columbia yesterday discussed the cot?
ton situation In regards to foreign
I trade. He said that in view of the
fact that England, as well as the
; other countries at war. have declared
.cotton to be non-contraband, it seem
that the situation coul i be greatly re?
lieved if the American government
W ould use every means within Its pow?
er to obtain vessels for transporting
cotton to the different countries.
I Senator Smith announced that he
had received several litters from for?
eign correapondents bearing on the
cotton situation. A correspondent
from Germany stated that in spite of
iho war German mills would possibly
consume a^ much American cotton as
ever, i; not more, if tin- supply could
bo obtained. A Russian correspond?
ent Indicates that were transportation
facilities available, Russia also would
us** her usual quota of American cot
! ion.
"1 intend to use these letters," said
Senator Smith, "before the proper au?
thorities in Washington, In order to
expedite the perfection of transporta?
tion facilities."

The live battleships at Vera Cruz and

cans and be In readines to meet
emergencies. it was just seven
months ago when the bluejackets and
marines under Hear Admiral Fletch?
er seized Vera Cruz as an act of1
reprisal for affronts to the American
liag at Tampico, where a boatload of
American bluejackets were arrested.
Gen. 1 Inert a, who controlled the
forces at Tampico, had refused to
comply with the demand of Admiral
Mayo for a lalue of 21 guns.
Advices from Mexico today still
were confusing, but the American1
government's determination Is to
'withdraw its troops and to remove
from Mexican territory a possible|
I i
cause of international friction as well
as a potential factor that might bo-i
come a domestic issue between fac?
tions in Mexico.
President Wilson is hopeful that
evacuation of Vera Cruz will be an en
during demonstration of the policy of
the united states enunciated in his
f'.obilo 'speech a year ago to seek no
U rrltorial aggrandizement south of
the Rio Grande. Ho believes continued
pr sence of American troops on Mexi?
can soil would be misinterpreted
throughout Latin America.
nl withdrawing from Mexican soil
the United States has taken pains that
no faction shall be recognized. Ail ele?
ments united in requesting evacuation
and In pledging the guarantees re?
quired by the Washington government.
Gen. Funston has no orders to give
possession of Vera Cruz to any par?
ticular chief. His Instructions are
simply to pack his possessions and
withdraw, bringing away any Mexicans
who fear to remain, as well as all the
custom money collected during the
American occupation.
The $1,000,000 or more in custom
duties Will he held until a govern?
ment formally is recognized by the
Cnited states.
Administration officials do not re?
gard the tangled state of affairs in
the southern republic as altogether
hopeless. They are Inclined to view
the evacuation of .Mexico city by Car
ranxa In the face of the Villa advance
OS ;? it evide nce of a de are to avoid fur?
ther bloodshed. Up t-> midnight last
night, according to oiflcial dispatches,
both Gen. Lucio Blanco and Gen. Ob
regon were In the capital and had
promised to leave an adequate force
to preserve order.
Many officials believe Carranxa or?
dered evacuation of Mexico City that
he might concentrate his forces at
Orizaba and continue parleys for a
comi romlse provisional president. He
is understood to he hopeful that when
ihe convention reassembles In Mexico
City some one besides Gen. Gutierrez
may he chosen.
Another view held in Mexican quar?
ters is that while the MeMcan capital
hes been evacuated there are large
forces to the north and easi which
will continue to threaten the Villa
columns.
The marines now stationed at Vera
Cruz will be taken to League island
navy yard, Philadelphia and the troops
will be sent back to their camp at
Texas City, Texas. The army trans?
ports Kilpatrick, Sumner, Cristobal
