SOUTH THE MAIN SUFFERER
British DEGREES Fall Heavily on this
Section.

The southern states suffer ten-fold
compared with any other section as a
result of British war DEGREES is dcclar-
ed by George l.. Atkinson, secretary OF
the American Association OF Commerce
and Trade Of Berlin, in a letter which
he is sending broadcast to commercial
bodies throughout the United States,
q COPY Of it having been received mere.
The Berlin organization, lii the local
chamber Of commerce, is a member or
the chamber of commerce of the Unit
ed States. The letter is a severe criti-
cism of British measures on the hlgh
seas as regards commerce from this
country.
1t is pointed out that American cot
ton is now being sold in Bremen at 80
cents per pound, when more thali
three pounds could be bought here for
the same price. Criticism is made or
the British tactics in interfering with
in every conceivable man
ner, except when munitions OF war are
wanted for the equipping OF its arm
les. A strong hint is contained in
the letter that it is the duty of Amert-
can business men and manufacturers
to force an issue in the matter of
shipping of many commodities.
German dyes, for instance, are abb
solutely necessary for many American
manufacturers, but Great Britain is
seizing all colors designed for Ameri-
can firms in the United States says
the letter. Continuing, it declares:
I'VE are weekly receiving letters from
American firms wishing to obtain such
dyes, but as long as the present prac-
tice of interference with American
property made in Germany is contin-
ued merchants here are deferred from
shipping goods.
1T is about time we took some ac-
ton in this matter and no longer al
low ourselves to be dictated to by a
foreign nation. 1t lies with you Ameri-
can manufacturers, exporters and i'm
porters to get together and send a dep
utation to the state department at
Washington and enter a formal protest
against this piracy of Great Britain.
The United States being a neutral ma
ton has a perfect right to carry on
business with both ~belligerents and
n%eutralS."
In the general outline of the trade
between this country and Germany, it
is pointed out that cotton, ruled OF
the ~cOntraband list because it is used
in making bulk for high explosive, is
but a tlimsy preteXt. At the present
wood pulp is being used for this pur-
pose. On the other hand, there is said
to be a stock of cotton already on hand
in Germany adequate for military pur-
poses.
The literature goes also into the con
dition brought about in especially the
phosphate and agricultural chemical
industry as n result Of Great Britain's
ruling. On the other hand, it is stat.
ed by a we'll known authority that the
rush to the gold fields in '49 is only eX-
ceeded by the rush of American ma
chine shops for orders from the allies
for munitions of war which may be
shipped.-News and Courier.

An American freight steamer
known as the Leelenaw, bound from
Archangel, Russia, for Belfast, was
torpedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine off the northeast coast of
Scotland last Sunday. The statement
is that the submarine commander
boarded the Leelenaw, pronounced the
cargo contraband, ordered the cap
tain and crew off and then blew up
the vessel. The crew reached Scot
land in safety. The case is the same
class with those of the VIM. p. Frye,
and the Nebraskan, for which Ger
many agreed to pay damage. The
German government on April % de-
clared flax absolute contraband. Wash
ington seems to be of opinion that it
was all right for Germany to remove
the flax: but hat she had no right to
destroy the vessel.

- One negro was killed, a second was
mortally wounded and an officer was
slightly hurt in a battle between ne
groes and officers in the town OF Mich
OILS, Marion county, Saturday. The
shooting occurred at a negro church
where officers had gone to arrest tur-
bulent negroes.

ton, but since 1884, an innate OF the
state hospital for the insane, committed
suicide in his room at the asylum
Wednesday, by hanging himself with

II years OF age.
The Anderson correspondent or
the Greenville News quotes Hon. Il.

The correspondent goes on to say that
the smile which followed the remark

exist and will continue to exist.
- Upon his return to Columbia from
.laurens last week, Mr.. j. fraser Lyon,
former attorney general, gave out the
following with reference to his effort to
intervene in the tax commission mat
ter before Associate Justice Watts:
The impression seems to nave been
made upon the minds Of some persons
by the news report from Laurens or
the hearing before Judge Watts, in the
case of the banks against the tax COM
mission, that the special fund appro-
priated by the legislature for the use
of the governor for special counsel was
to be used TO pay a fee to me for ser
vices rendered the tax commission. l
do not think the news report of my re-
marks to the judge fairly susceptible
of such consideration, but for fear II
be misunderstood, | wish to say thai
my employment was solely by the tax
commission, or a majority of them, and
that the governor only acquiesced
therein. 1t was fully understood that
the tax commission would endeayor, at
the next session Of the Legislature, to
have compensation provided, and my
work was lone solely upon that con-
tingency. Reference was made by me
to the $4,000 item in response to the
ruling Of the associate justice, which
was in effect, that the attorney general
had complete and sole authority to de-
termine whether special counsel should
be employed in any case or not, 10
show at least in some instances the
will of the attorney general would not
prevail against the employment Of
special counsel. A cas- in my W eX-
p~erience as attorney general was also
referred to, where counsel was en-
ployed and paid contrary to my wishes
as attorney general. These matters
were referred to solely for the purpose
Of showing that it would be either
within the rules of the law or within
the rules of prOpriety that special
counsel of the tax commission, ap-
proved bv the governor, should be ac-
corded a hearing"
