only matter discussed was the bandit
by two commerce raiders, while of the
Azores, according to story related
when the vessel docked.
Reports had been in circulation for
more than week that at least one
sea raider was again operating in the
western Atlantic, and todays news
has alarmed shipping circles.
Captain Boniface and members Of
the crew were reticent but the Amer
leans on board, who were employed in
caring for horses transported on the
Venizia's last voyage eastward,
Touched for the story.
According to these men, the Veai-
zia encountered the commerce raiders
April Is, three days out from Bor-
deaux. The hostile craft, they said,
doomed up without any flags showing
and bore down upon the Venizia. Cap
tain Boniface at once Lecame suSpi-
cious and prepared for sudden dash.
The raiders signalled to the Venizia
to slow down, but Captain Boniface's
answer was an order for full speed
ahead.
AS the Venizia started away. ac-
cording to the story, a shot passed
over her, this was followed by an
other which dropped close to the Ven
:zia, but the efforts Of the raiders to
overhaul her proved unsuccessful.

rolls 325 pupils and pays local school

this allotment Of state aid for their

late local taxation or private contri-
buttons, state contingent aid has been
given in rare instances for term OF
seven months. To catalogue the va.
rious items in the 311 schools would
be to make list Of the school activi
ties Of the state. The appropriation
has been used as far as possible to
equalize facilities in the various dis
tricts. These minor deficiencies have
been too long overlooked. The first
attempt to remedy them was made In
1914, when representatives fron some
of the country districts secured an ap-
propriation Of s45,0Oo for equalizing
purposes. In 1915 this appropriation
was raised to $4,000: tut the legisla-
ture of 1915 reduced the amount to
$4,000.

PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL ASSO'
CITATION OF COMMISSIONERS
OF AGRICULTURE.
48 STATES REPRESENTED
Urges Better System of Distributing
and Marketing Of Farm Products
In South and West.

Washington.-E. J. Watson OF South
Carolina was elected president and DR..
Clarence J. Owens Of Washington ex-
ecutiye secretary Of the National AS
sociation Of Commissioners Of Agricul-
ture, inaugurated at meeting here.
Resolutions indorsing the bill for
the proposed national chamber OF ag'
riculture were adopted.
Dr.. Owens, who is enthusiastic con-
corning what he hopes will be accom-
plished along this line said that TINS
was the first time that commissioners
of all the 4S states had been present
to discuss the needs Of the farmer.
1T is indeed worthy Of note ne
said, when the commissioners OF ag'
riculture from all Of the states come
together in the interest Of the farmers
of their respective states and the ma
ton. It means that there is quick
ening Of the mind as to the require
ments of our biggest undertaking-ag'
riculture."
It is good for South Carolina that
both Of the officers elected tonight are
Palmetto state men. Mr.. Watson IS
we'll known throughout the country
and DR.. Owens is originally from
Orangeburg. The latter's work along
industrial and agricultural lines during
the past lew years has been G5st sue
cessful.
The sessions will continue another
day, after which Mr.. Watson will pro-
ceed to New York in his autombile.
Commissioner Watson addressed the
association at the first session after
the organization. He spoke in behalf
Of a better system of distributing or
marketing farm products, and present
ed some of the features incorporated
by the German system Of Distribution
The association is planning a cam
paign to provide for the organization
of a National Chamber Of Agriculture
under Federal charter. The basic
purpose of the national chamber Will
be to solve the problems OF dlstrlou-
ton. The organization resembles a
part of the Landwirtschaftsrat OF Ger
many. which regenerated the rural
life OF Germany to the extent that 81
per cent of the farmers are land own
ers in contrast yith 81 per cent in the
United States, 60 per cent and 10 per
cent in Great Britain.

Newest Gun.

The California, Mississippi and Idaho
are to be armed with a new type OF
14.inch gun, which will show a con-
siderable increase Of power over the
45.caliber gun. The new piece is six
feet longer in the bore than the As
caliber 14.inch, and It's velocity and
energy have been greatly increased.
the muzzle energy being something
over 7o,000.foot tons.
Rear Admiral Strauss. chief Of ord
nance, states that these new guns are
capable of penetrating the heaviest
side armor at oblique impact at tha
greatest effective battle range. 1t is
gratifying to learn that the new type
OF l6-inch, 45-caliber gun beilt at the
Washington gun factory, has fulfilled
the highest expectations, and that the
bureau believes 1t to be as powerful a
gun as any In existence today.

The mill village demonstration
work is to be resumed in South Car.
olina under the leadership Of James
L. Carbery, the originator of the plan
to improve conditions in mill villages.
The work was begun several years
ago at Rock Hill by Mr.. Carbery.
When the Sm.th-Lever act went into
effect the appropriation was cut off by
the United States department of agri'
culture on the ground that the work
could not be classed under the head
Of agriculture. From Rock Hill the
work spread to 20 mills in the state.
Following the withdrawal Of fed.
eral support Gov. Manning in mes
sage to the legislature urged that a
state bureau Of welfare work be Great
ed. Bills were introduced in the
house and senate. The house bill
passed without a dissenting vote and
the measure was sent to second read
ing in the senate Before the bill
was finally passed the legislature ad-
journed. The measure was to have
been taken up g.: the last session Of
the legislature, but word came that
federal aid was to be extended and
that the state bureau was unneces-
sary.
When the federal government with
drew support from the work Mr.. Car
berry went to Beaufort as county larm
demonstration. Several weeks ago he
returned to Rock Hill and is actively
engaged in organizing the clubs in the
mills Of South Carolina.
The objects OF the mill village dem

UNITED STATES To

PROMISES CONTAINED IN
NOTE.
AVERT DIPLOMATIC BREAK
Imperial Governments Reply Has Al
Least Postponed Any Diplomatic
Rupture With Teutons.

washington.-It was stated author
tatively that Il the official text Of Ger
many's note boards out the unofficial
copy transmitted in news dispatches,
the United States will accept the as
surance it contains and await fulfill
ment Of its promises.
Germany's note has postponed Il
it actually has not averted diplo-
matte break with the United States.
It was stated authoritetively after
the cabinet meeting that II the Official
text bore out the unofficial version
transmitted in the Berlin news dis
patches. Germany's assurances un'
doubtedly would be accepted and be-
fore taking another step the United
States would await the fulfllment Of
her latest promises.
In such cases the United Statea
might not reply to the note and would
await evidence Of the actual abandon,
nent of Gernany's present practices
Of submarine warfare which is declar
ed. President Wilson is described by
those close about him as being in
position where he cannot question the
good faith of Germany's assurances
which must stand or fall by the future
conduct Of her submarine command
ers.
The German Embassy view is that
the note gives all President Wilson
asked for; that it signalizes a return
to cruiser warfare"-the use OF sub
marines as regular naval cruisers In
tercepting commerce with visit and
search, and that tnasmuch as it makes
no mention OF the armed ship Ques
ton. that perplexins feature OF the
controversy IS not involved.
Congress took the note quietly and
although members expressed a va
riety Of views the general sentiment
seemed to be in favor Of leaving the
situation in the hands Of President
Wilson
