The Crew Of a Schooner Rescued After
Days Of SUFFERING.

The crew of the schooner James T..
Bayles, shipwreeked aud abandoned at
sea, arrived at Norfolk, Va. Wednes.
day morning and told Of their awful
suferings and the death Of the wife
Of Captain Z. H. Darling, who froze in
her husbands arms. The Bayles sailed
from Cazones, Mexico, for New York
on.January 23d, with a cargo Of cedar
and mahogany, She was a double.
6ecked, three -masted schooner of 3l2
tons netregister.
All went we'll until Saturday, Feb.
II when of the Delaware capeS, some
ninety miles at sea, the storm struck
her. Snow and sleet fell and the storm
increased in violence On Monday the
schooner sprung leak, and on Tues
day, while the pumps were being work
ed TO the utmost, they broke beneath
the deck and the schooner filled fast
and sunk rapidly. By nightfull she
was awaSh, the seas swept over her:
and the crew, lashcd to the raj: suffered
dreadfully from the cold.
Mrs. Darling, the captains wife, a
resident of Huntington, Long Island,
who had been for hours held by her
husband in his arms, succumbed to the
fearful cold and died. For hours after
wards, from Tuesday until Wednesday,
the captain held her body that the seas
should not sweep his dead wife away.
The seas carried the boats and taHrall
away on Tuesday and shortly afterwards
in order to lig hten the standing rigging
the mast were cut away and went by
the board. For three days: hoping
against hope that help might come, the
crew, without food or water stood lash
ed to the rail, the cold waves washing
over them almost continuously. Thre
steamers passed; one stopped when
some FIVE miles away, but probably
concluded that the wreck had been
abandoned blythe crew and passed on.
Those aboard the Rayles having neither
fire nor flag could not signal her. She
was big p ssenger liner, bound proba-
bly, for New York.
On Thursday about noon, when hope
was, the shipwrecked men said almost
dead, the schooner Mount Hope. Cap
tain Mclean, bound from New York to
Norfolk, came along and took them of
in boat, manned by Mate Gould and
two men of the Mount Hope. Every
thing that men could do, Captain Oar
ling, of ths Bayles, said Captain Nc
Lean, Mates Gould and Anderson and
the crew of the Mount Hope did for the
sufferers. The saved men lost every
thing with the exception Of the clothes
they stood in. The only one seriously
injured is Steward Fred E, Balcom, Of
76 Mill steet, Brooklyn. His feet are
frozen

They Swear Allegiance

A dispatch from Manila dated Feb.
% says that while the guns on the city
walls and those on board the ships OF
Dewey's feet in the bay fred salute
in honor of Washington's birthday,
four commissioners from the Island OF
Negros had an interview with General
Otis and informed him that the Anieri-
can flag had already been raised over
chat island and its inhabitants were
ready and anxious and willing to accept
any propositions the Americans might
offer. The insurgents have been driven
from the islaud entirely. Although the
Iloilo rebels have given the people OF
Nesros much trouble, especially IL the
matter Of financial assistance demanded
by the rebel leaders, the inhabitants OF
Negros have persisrently held aloof, and
now, through the commissioners, an
uounced they wanted the help and adive
of General Otis. The latter assured
them the Americans would provide an
a, ceptable government and in the mean
time he instructed them not to pay the
rebels anything. The Negros commits,
sioners were delighted with their recep-
ton.

Moved e Brick House.

Moving a 100 by IS feet ive-story
brick building vas successfully accom-
plised recently in New York city. The
building had an estimated weight Of g.
0O0 tons and was moved Is feet south
and IS feet east, $50 jack-screws being
employed to furnish the power. Tim
Der ways and shoes fabricated with soa
were used, and the movement of each
turn Of the jackscreWs was three-six-
teenths Of an inch. The greatest dis
tance which the building was moved in
one days work was 9 feet S inches, and
the whole movement Of IS feet to the
south was accomplished in seventeen
days. From the beginning Of the work
only FIVE weeks elapsed until the build
ing was jacked up ready to receive the
new foundations. and a force Of about
twenty men accomplished the entire
work. The contract price for the work
was $40. 900.

No Soldier Executed.

In reaching the decision to recon-
mend'a long term of imprisonment in the
case of private in an Alabama regi-
ment who had Killed a manin an atfray,
Judge Advocate General Lieber has
completed remarkable record, dispcs-
ing of the last of the capital cases that
had come before his department for re-
view without in any sing le case impos-
ing the death penalty. Thus the war
has passed without the execution OF a
single soldier on account of military
crimes. This is believed to be without
parallel in history. There we're crimes
committed, but they lacked malice or
generalization, and there were no de-
sertions because of cowardice or treach' :
cry.

Robert A. Beale, second officer Of
the steamer VIM. L. Lawrence, which
was wrecked on the South Carolina
coast during the blizzard Of week be-

tense suffering in the open boat during
the storm. Beale's home is in Balti-

the hope that treatment at private
sanitarium may restore his reason.
There were seven men in the boat with

Roach is dead, one sailor will lose one
or both feet, two other sailors will lose
their toes and Beale has gone mad from

S. NJ. Green. Of Sardis. sold the to-
bacco from 10 acres at an average Of I6
cents for the entire crop.
Around MayeSvillc the tobacco farm
ers have been very successful and shown
some high averages. A few examples
from that section, taken from sales
made on the Mayesville TOBACCO mar
key, will show what is being done
there.
R. f Smith, Of Bethlehem. sold the
product Of 9 acres for $1,000, clearing
over Sll0 per acre on his crop.

Kingstree by Mr. j. Z. Brockintou,
one Of the early tobacco growers Of the
State. On one acre Mr.. Brockinton
grew !, $50 pounds of tobacco and sold
the product for 1926. The total ex.
pense was so, leaving profit Of 1886.
We deem the instances cited suffi
cient to convince the most skeptical Of
what can be done in tobacco growing,
though hundreds of others, just as
strong, could be given did We think it
necessary to produce them. 1t is well
to state in this connection that tobacco
is crop that demands the most watch
full care.
1t is of all crops the most fastidious,
but to those who give it the proper at
tention it yields very large returns.
We Go not mean by this that it is diff
fcult crop to manage. What it re-
Quires is careful watching from start to
finish. Those who are disposed to neg
lect it will never succeed, but those
who give it proper attention from the
time the tender plant is set out until
it is safely cured will fnd the yellow
weed more generous ia money returns
than any crop that can be grown at the
same expense.

While the profit on this tobacco cr"p
is not so large as many others that could
be given, still it shows remarkably
good farming in these times when prices
are depressed, and it further shows
how far ahead Of other crops tobacco Is
a money crop for the Southern planter.
At Darlington, S. c., c. S. McCul,
Tough, who is both a business man and
a large planter, has made a remarkable
average in tobacco growing, several
crops reaching as high as $500 per acre.
At the same place, B. F. Williamson,
". f. Dargan, D. NJ Smoot, and many
others whose names could be given.
have made averages Of $50 and S2Oo
per acre on tobacco growing within the
past FIVE years.
In Florence county, NJ. S. Haynes
worth and J. c. B.unson, whose post
Office is at Florence, have averaged $500
per acre on large crops, and }. 7. Gregg
and H. T. Harlee, and others, at Mars
Bluff have done the same.
B. S. Ellis, Of Zion postofflce, near
Marion, planted 100 acres IN tobacco
in 1898. The average yield per acre
was 500 pounds. He sold the entire
crop of $4,000 pounds at an average OF

all cost of the crop, had s. ,2V0 profit,
