TOBACCO MARKETS
TO OPEN JULY y.
EARLY OPENING DESIGNED TO
EASE MONEY SITUATION
WITH THE PLANTERS.

At largely attended meeting of
the warehousemen of the East and
West-side Pee Dee markets, held at
Florence last Saturday, it was decid-
ed to open all the tobacco markets
in South Carolina Thursday. July %.
There was some opposition to the
opening up of the markets before
August l, but majority of the to-
bacconists thought it best to open on
the 22d ,as it would greatly help out
and relieve the money situation with
the planter patrons.
There were about seventy-five
present and all markets were repre-
sented.
Mr. w O Lea of Timmonsville pre-
sided, and Mr. G H Pegr:m was Sec
retary.

many, it was declared, would then
fall upon the Berlin Government.
There is as yet no definite crystal
lization of opinion among officials as
to details, but the distinct tendency
is toward a reiteration not only in a
formal note but in actual practice of
the principles for which the United
States has been contending. The
unanimous verdict of high officials
was that the German reply was
thoroughly unsatisfactory, and leaves
the situation exactly at the point
where it was in the days immediate
ly following the sinking of the
Lusitania.
While the continued exercise of
American rights in the future is
urged as logical course to be fol-
lowed, it is recognized also that the
United States cannot abandon the
demands it has made for the dis
avowal of intent to drown Ameri-
cans and the question of reparatioE.
There is little disposition in official
quarters to hurry decision. Since
the negotiations began two months
ago, it was pointed out, no belliger-
ent ships carrying Americans were
torpedoed without warning. Since
German submarine commanders have
made their practice in accordance
with international law to that extent,
officials do not believe the rule of
the German Government itself to
give explicit assurances will be fol-
lowed by any overt acts involving

DEATH AND RUIN IN ITS WAKE
Destructive Storm Sweeps over
Central West.

More than fifty persons have been
killed ant several score injured
by the violent wind and rain storm
which extended from Nebraska to
Ohio Wednesday night of last week.
The property damage is estimated at
several million dollars.
The greatest loss of life was in
Cincinnati and it's vicinity, where 93
are known to be dead and Is miss
ing. Eighteen of the dead were deck
hands who were drowned by the
capsizing of the towboat convoy, on
the Ohio river.
In eastern Missouri the storm as
sumed the proportions of tornado,
demolishing 1852 blocks at St Charles,
town of about II, 900 people.
St Peters, town of 300 inhabit-
ants, and Gilmore, a village of 100,
were almost wiped out. At St Pc
ters and St Charles there was no
loss of life and at Gilmore only one
was killed. In Lincoln and Custer
counties, Nebraska, wind and hail
caused heavy crop damage and in
the village of Galloway several build.
ings were unroofed.
In southern Illinois the storm
caused heavy damage. At Mound
City the business part of the town
was flooded. In central and southern
Indiana three persons were killed
and many injured. Telegraph and
telephone service was demoralized
and buildings unroofed.
A dispatch from Cincinnati under
date of July 8 says:
With twenty-five known dead,
missing and property loss that will
exceed a million dollars, Cincinnati
tonight was making a valiant effort
to recover from probably the worst
storm in it's history. Twelve of the
dead were claimed by the Ohio river
At $50 o'clock last night the

city and its suburbs lay stricken. Its

the storm had taken.
Two steamers had gone down in

houses were leveled; a half-dozer

that few houses had escaped damage

SITUATION THOUGHT
TO Be GRAVE.
OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON IN
DOUBTAS TO OUTCOME OF
DEMANDS ON GERMANY.

Washington, July 10:.- Official
Washington takes grave view OF
the situation produced by Germany's
refusal to meet the demands of the
United States growing ont of the
sinking of the Lusitania with a loss
of more than 100 Americans.
Upon President Wilson rests the
burden of deciding the policy which
the United States is t. follow.
Quietly and carefully he is consider
ing the situation. It was stated at
the White House, after telephone
communications with the President
at Cornish, N H, that the country
may expect him to act with "delib-
Grafton as we'll as frmness" when
he has examined all phases of the
problem.
What action the United States
will take officials today could not
predict with certainty. Some OF
those who have been familiar with
the Presidents point of view and
with the details of the present situ-
alton pointed out there seemed to
be but one course on which to main
tain the dignity and honor of the
United States-the continued asser-
ton and exercise of rights of neu-
trails on the high seas in accordance
with the established principles of

OF VALUE TO SCHOOL OFFICERS
State superintendent Svearin-
den Makes Useful Suggestions.
Columbia, July 8, 1915.

OUluluUlc, ouiy ", 1O1c'
To School Officers and Trustees:
Gentlemen:-Your school district
will probably desire to receive con-
tinuance of its State aid during the
scholastic year 1856. Before your
board has completed all its plans for
next session l recommend that you
consult your County Superintendent
about term extension application,
a rural graded school application or
a high school application. Last year
there were 677 term extension dis
tricts, 400 rural graded school dis
tricts and 13O high school districts.
urge you to plan for a seven
months term, if possible. This term
can be secured if your monthly sala-
ry account is adjusted to your esti-
mated income. If you find it difficult
to run your school seven months,
please communicate with your Coun-
ty Superintendent and the State Su-
perintendent.
The State Department of Educa-
ton recommends that no teacher be
allowed or required to take charge
of more than fifty pupils in one class
room. This suggestion is offered IN
the hope of preventing the wastetul
and hurtful over-crowding of the
first four grades.
Teachers and trustees OF State
aided schools should communicate
with the State Superintendent wher-
ever they find it difficult to limit the
number of pupils to fifty to the
teacher.
Section 1761 of the Code authoriz-
es trustees to employ only those
teachers who hold valid South Caro-
lima certificates. Attention to this
requirement of the law before the
opening of the school will help to
avoid confusion later.
Application blanks for term ex-
tension aid, rural graded school aid
or high school aid are obtainable
from either the County Superintend-
ent or the State Superintendent. A
full supply of these blanks has al
ready been sent each County Super
intendent.
