ALL TRUCK INJURED BY FROST.
% Per Cent of Potatoes and Beans
Wiped Out in Charleston County.
(The Post, April ~

The frost OF las, night played
crops OF Charleston county and the
seed dealers stated this morning that
since daylight they had been be-
seiged with rush orders for seed with
which to replant these crops. w.
II. MiXson, who is in close touch with
the trucking situation in the county,
said it was estimated that about 25
per cent OF the bean and potato crops
would need 20 be replanted as a re-
suit Of The freezing weather. The
cabbage crop is retarded in matur-
ing, but has not been materially in
jured, according to reports.
The 25 per cent Of bean and pota-
to crops to be planted, it is estimat-
ed, will be on the market from 10
days to two weeks late. For the past
two days there has been a rush to
buy seed in ant eipation of just such
situation as that which has arisen.
The rs per cent of the crops believed
to be uninjured comprises that por-
tion which had not broken through
the soil crust prior to the frost last
night.
Farmers in all parts OF the county
were hoping for warmer weather.
All the trucking crops Of the county
are later this spring than for many
seasons past, due to the continuation
or cold weather well into the plant
ing season.

SHOT WHEN PISTOL FALLS.
Mrs. q. w. Fenncl, of Hampton,
Probably Fatally Injured.

Hampton, April Mrs. G. w.
Fennell, while building q fire in her
room this morning at an early hour,
brushed a pistol from the mantel-
piece, and the weapon, falling to the
hearth, fired, the bullet inficting a
probably mortal wound in her right
temple. Mrs. Fennell was this af-
ternoon taken to hospital in Char
lesion for treatment.
Mrs. Fennell arose at an early
hour, while her husband was out in
the lot, and had lighted one piece of
kindling, when she reached up to the
mantel and accidentally pushed the
pistol off. 1t had not been thought
that the pistol was loa lri, but as
the pistol struck the hearth it fired.
The wound bled profuscly. The hus-
band, hearing the muffled report and
the screams of the two children, who
were in the room, rushed into the
room and Immediately called DR.. J.
b. Harvey and Mrs. Harvey, who live
nearby. Mrs. Fennell was conscious
for 80 minutes, perhaps, after the
shot and explained how the accident
had occurred, but she could not go
into details. She was unconscious
when taken from here this afternoon.
The pistol had been given to Mr..
Fennell to clean by friend and had
been on the mantel for several days.
One Of the little children of Mrs.
Fennell stated that the pistol was
not loaded yesterday, because he had
taken out the cylinder 1t is not
known how the one bullet found in
the pistol got there.

DESTROYED BY PRINZ EITEL.
Germany is Asked to Pay Full Value
for Schooner VIM. u. Frye.

Washington, April 1.-Indemnitv
Tor the full value of the American
ship William p. Frye, DESTROYED at
sea by the German converted cruiser
PrinZ Eitel Friedrich, has been for
mally requested from Germany by
the United States government.
Acting Secretary Lansing an
nounced to-day that a note on the
subject had been sent TO Ambassador
Gerard for presentation to the for
eign office at Berlin. Pending its
receipt in Berlin, the document will
not be made public.
No representations were made
concerning the cargo, since it was es-
tablished after an Investigation by
the State Department that it was
sold en- route and was British-owned
at the time of the sinking.
The American government con-
tends in the note that the comman-
der of the Eitel was not warranted
IN destroying the Frye, because it
could not lawfully have been con-
demned as prize had it been taken
into a prize court. The destination
or the cargo was a private firm in
England, the American government
learned, and the wheat could not,
therefore, have been considered as
cOntraband.

Higher Prices at Planting Time.
Crock Hill Herald.)

NhOCk Hill l1GGdlu.)
There is much speculation as to
what is responsible for the advance
in the price of cotton during the past
few weeks. The average man ad-
vances the opinion that it is merely
the usual rise which is pulled off at
planting time every year to innu-
ence the planting Of large acreage
If this is the case, whoever is re-
sponsible for putting the price up
Will be disappointed with the results.
The farmers may have been fooled III
the past by high prices at planting
time, but they are not going to be
fooled this year. The acreage will
De cut, the amount OF fertilizer used
VIII be reduced from the average,
ana the crop produced this year will
be several million bales smaller than
the last crop. This is what the
farmers of this section say, and there
is much evidence to confirm the
truth of all these statements. If the
farmers OF the cotton belt generally
are working like the farmers in this
section Of South Carolina, cotton will
bring a good price next fall, because
there will be no enormous surplus to
depress the price.
