Washington, Sept. 27.-Four Off
GERS and Sc men aboard the revenue

The Tanoma struck September 21.
She had aboard 83 persons.
Revenue cutter service officers to-
night were without information as to
the cause Of the Tahoma's mishap.
Ihat she had stumbled onto an un-

TO HOLD ARMY AT VERA CRUZ.
Funston Ordered to Remain Till Fur
ther AdVised-KeepingN Neutral.

Washington, Sept. 25.--American
forces will remain in Vera Cruz un-
til the question Of authority be-
tween Carranza and Villa is settled.
This was the consensus of opinion OF
administration officials tonight, al
though no definite announcement
was made.
Secretary Garrison telegraphed
Gen. Funston that the American
forces would not be withdrawn "for
at least ten days" until questions con-
corning the transfer of funds at the
customs house could be adjusted.
Later the following formal state
ment was issued by the War Depart
ment:
Numerous inquiries were made
here and Of Gen. Funston as to the
date of the departure OF the Amcri-
can troops from Vera Cruz. In view
of matters which must be settled first
no date at present can be fixed, \but
in no event can the departure take
place within the next ten days, and
Gen. Funston was so advised"
lnasmuch as telngraphic communi-
cation to Mexico City is irregular,
State Department officials did not
know when they could reach a salts
factory understanding with the Car
rama government. Officials are con-
sidering the possibility that Gen.
Villa may object to the American
governments construction OF the
Carranza authority as "the central
government in Mexico" and indica-
tions are that the big sum Of money
collected for customs by the Ameri-
can officers will not be delivered to
any action until there is a definitely
established Mexican government.

RANDOM REMARKS FOR FARMER
Demonstration Agent Urges Cover
CrOps--LOoking After Exhibits.

Editor Keowee Courier: ] wish to
ask Of you the favor of publishing a
few general remarks:
A cover crop is essential to better
farming, and now is the time to put
in rye and vetch and crimson clover.
Clovers are fine and are we'll adapted
to our soils, and these crops make
fine winter and spring pasturage.
Dallis grass or white clover are fine
also.
This is the best season to breed
mares in many respects. ] would
like to say right here that improved
live stock is what we need but there
are two extremes. The pony must go
out, but the over-grown, gawky Is to
8 hundred pound animals are too
heavy for our hill country, which is
full OF gravel and stiff soils. They
cannot give the service that the thou
sand to twelve hundred pound ami
NAL can. He fills the bill in his ma
tive cline, but If you will take no.
tice you will see that where these
over-grown animals are kept under
the collar they soon become wrecks
and are undesirable for every pur-
pose. | am aware that the live stock
men are trying to get this class Of
animals introduced into South Caro- .
lima, but at whose risk will they be
brought? 1t will he at the risk of
the man who is unable to stand a
failure.
! want to urge all members Of the
corn clubs to make their reports, let
the yield be as low as it may. Yes
let us carry out what we started to
do. This is one of the main points
in life-plan out what you expect to
do and do 1t If possible.
! have mountain rye-plenty of
it-and hairy vetch, crimson and
burr clover in small quantities.
] want to ask the citizens 0" Oco-
nee to come to my assistance in. the
matter of an exhibit at the State
Fair from this county. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has made ar
rangements with the State Fair Asso-
citation to cooperate in making ex-
hibits Of the common products Of our
State. There Is space allotted to
each county, and the county agents
are expected to look after the collec-
tion Of these exhibits. I am doing
all can along this line, but my dem
onstration work must go on, too, and

FINLEY'S NEW COTTON MEASURE
Presents Measure that Looks Practi-
caI for Federal Government.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-At the re-
quest Of President Dabbs, Of the
South Carolina Farmers Union, Rep
resentative d. E. Finley last week
called a meeting Of the State delega-
ton to consider a question of Fede-
raj aid to the cotton growers. Most
of the delegation, including Senator
Smith, attended the meeting. After
considerable discussion Representa-
tives Finley and Johnson were ap-
pointed to draft bill for special
emergency currency to facilitate the
handling Of the cotton crop of 1914.
Mr.. Finley introduced the measure
to-day 1t directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue $500,000,000
in treasury notes, which shall be de-
posted il solvent banks or banking
associations in the cotton-growing
States, under certain conditions, the
banks TO execute in eqral amount
their own notes to the & gOy yAsti d 4 ut I'M
return for the currency, which shall
be loaned by the banks only to pro-
ducers Of 1914 cotton, or to the own
ers OF the land on which this cotton
has been grown. The amount Of
the loan shall in no case exceed the
market value OF the cotton, and the
interest charge shall not exceed 4
per cent; the loan to be secured by
warehouse receipts, according to
regulations prescribed by the govern
ment Under the Finley bill, which
was referred to the banking and cur
rency committee, the government
would have the note OF the bank or
banking association to back the cot
ton currency and the bank would
have the note Of the farmer or the
land owner in addition to the cotton
itself as security.

Then, terror 'crystallized. His eyes
