decd in Mediterranean Sea With
Possible Loss of 200 Lives,

4 large submarine flying the Aus
trian flag has sunk the Italian line
steamer Ancona, from Naples for New
York. Dispatches from Rome gave no
details of the disaster beyond the fact
that 270 survivors of 4S2 persons
aboard have been landed at Bizerta,
On the North African coast. Of those
on the Ancona 322 were passengers,
Some of the survivors were wounded.
News of the sinking Of the Ancona
caused a sensation in Washington
Tuesday night, as it was regarded as
foreshadowing a new controversy be-
tween the United States and Austria
similar to the critical dispute with
Germany which followed the torpedo
Ing of the Lusitania. Before making
any comment, however, officials await
ed information on two points-whetner
the vessel was torpedoed without
warning and whether any Americans
were among the victims.

advertisement for this enterprising

there mentioned did not begin to give
you an idea of the many things>they

thing to be remembered in this con-

all the goods are new. There are no
hold-overs in the stock. The name IS
the same as the firm that occupied the
building before, but the goods are all
new and the proprietor is new and the
clerks are new and everything is up

SOW PLENTY WHEAT AND OATS
URGED BY FARMERS UNION

At a meeting of the Farmers union
of Newberry county last Saturday it
was unanimously agreed that the best
thing for the farmer to do this fall is
10 put in large grain crop.
This we consider as the only safe
guard against repetition of conditions
such as we had in 1914.
Firsta good grain crop will insure
plenty of food for man and beast. two
very necessary things for the farmer
to consider.
Second, large acreage sown to-
grain means. reduced cotton acreage
for 1916, and that is very necessary
if we would sell the corn crop of 1916
at profit.
The farmers have the SITUATION alb
solutely in their own hands. They can
either SOW a good acreage to grain,
rc2uee cotton acreage and sell cotton
in 1916 for 12( to 15 cents per pound,
or they can sow small acreage to grain,
leave large acreage for cotton and sell
cotton. in 1916 at g. to 10 cents per
pound. 4 1sNaS
/ /. ...Ow which is the sensible coursefto
pursue9 Certainly there is but one
sane course to pursue, and that is to
SOW grain. Prepare your land well,
and il, practicable fertilize it. Many
people failed to make grain this year
because it was not properly put in, and
further, if your grain should happen
10 fail, you can plant the same land
to corn and peas, which will pay pos
sibly better than cotton.
Let every farmer adopt this as his
slogan, Plenty of wheat, oats and corn
and live stock, tnen raise all the cot
ton you can as surplus" If this is
carried out we will nos have repeti-
ton of 1914 conditions.
