CHARLESTON TO BUILD SHIPS.
Yard to Be Suitably Equipped.-Na
val Bill Amended.

Washington, June 1.-The amend
ment to the naval appropriation bill
adopted by the house this afternoon,
authorizes the secretary of the navy
to expend s6,O00,000 to equip the
navy yards on the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts for the construction of
battle craft if. he is unable to secure
fair bids for such construction from
private contractors. The provision
includes the Charleston yard and the
secretary is authorized, under the
condition stated, to have constructed
at the Charleston yard such craft as
that yard is capable of putting out.
Congressman Whaley, when inter-
viewed tonight, stated that he was
delighted with the provision, as it
means that the Charleston yard will
get it's share of the construction work
incident to the increased building
programme carried by the naval bill.

Georgetown, June 5.-The bass
continue to run and the fishermen
are still after them in earnest. AL

and total weight some days ago with
nine big fellows totalling nearly three

weighing 1856. The sport is great
and every day the fishermen are busy
and the fish seem to get larger. Mr.
Congdon caught thirty-nine-pound-
er among his ten.

SENATE CONFIRMS BRANDEIS.
After Bitter Contest Presidents Nom.
inee Wins Out AZ to %.

Washington, June 1.-The nomi-
nation of Louis D. Brandeis, of Bos-
ton, to the supreme court to succeed
the late Joseph Rucker Lamar was
confirmed by the senate today by a
vote of Al to- %. The vote, taken
without debate, ended one of the bit
terest contests ever waged against
presidential nominee. Mr.. Brandeis
will be the first Jew to occupy a seat
on the supreme bench.
Only one Democrat, Senator New
lands, voted against confirmation.
Three Republicans, Senators La Fol-
lette, Norris and Poindexter, voted
with the Democratic majority, and
Senators Gronna and Clapp would
have done so, but were paired with
Senators Borah and Kenyon. The
negative vote of Senator Newlands
was a complete surprise to the SEN
ate, and the Nevada senator, recog-
nizing that his action had aroused
comment, later made public a formal
explanation.
II have a high admiration for Mr..
Brandeis as a publicist and propagan-
dist of distinction" said Senator
Newlands. 81 do not regard him as
a man of judicial temperament, and
for that reason I have voted against
his confirmation.
Throughout the fight President
Wilson stood firmly behind his nomi-
nee, never wavering even when it
seemed certain that an unfavorable
report would be returned by the SEN
at judiciary committee. Before the
committee voted he wrote a letter to
Chairman Culberson strongly urging
prompt and favorable action.

The folks living near Crystal
Spring gathered at the Spring and
celebrated Ascension day with a fish
fry. Mr.rJ. J. Hughes, who is an ex-
pert fisherman, repaired early that
morning to Lemon Swamp and caught
enough fish to supply the fry boupti-
fully. The fish consisted of jack,
trout, red breast and mud. Lemon
Swamp teens with lot Of fish hav-
ing.a better flavor than fish OF any
other stream in lower South Caro-
lima, the Edisto not excepted. The
fry had visitors from Colston and
Clear Pond.

over so much dry weather, but hav-
ing a little rain scattered about, they
are beginning to look kinder sar-
castle at each other over the pros

BIG Battle Pleases Germans.

Berlin, June 3.-The first naval
battle on a grand scale during the
war has been attended by results
which, according to information re-
ceived here, are highly satisfactory
to the Germans not only in respect OF
the comparative losses of the two
fleets but in the fact that the Ger
mans maintained the field after the
battle. This is shown, German COM
mentators assert, by the rescue OF
their survivors.
The full German high sea fleet was
engaged under personal command OF
Vice Admiral Scheer, who succeeded
Vice Admiral Won Pohl. The British
feet is estimated at approximately
twice as strong in guns and ships as
that under Admiral Scheer.
Detailed reports have not yet been
received, but the main engagement
apparently occurred about 125 miles
southwest Of the southern extremity
of Norway and $50 miles off the DAN
ish coast.
The battle was divided into two
sections The day engagement be-
gan at about 4 o'clock in the after
noon and continued until darkness or
about 9 O'Clock. This was followed
by a series of separate engagements

LORD KITCHENER KILLED.
British War Secretary Lost When
When Ship Was Blown Up.

London, June 6.-The news that
Earl Kitchener, secretary of State to1
war, and his staff, who were proceed.
ing to Russia aboard the cruiser
Hampshire, were lost off the Orkney
Islands last night, was the most stun.
ming blow Great Britain has received
since the war began.
This is the second shock the coun-
try has sustained within week. The
other was when the newspapers ap-
peared Friday evening with the first
intelligence of the naval battle in the
North sea in the form of list of the
ships lost, with practically no init
nation that there was any compensa-
tion in the way of enemy losses. The
bulletin telling of the death of Kitch-
ener gave the country even a greater
shock.
Kitchener was the one outstanding
personality whom the people talked
of and believed in as a great man.
Notwithstanding newspaper attacks
which at a former period of the wal
threatened to undermine his popu.
larity and the public confidence in
him.
Jellicoe's Report.
A telegram from Admiral Sir John
Jellicoe, commander of the fleet, CIV
ing the bare facts, was received at
the admiralty about II o'clock in the
morning. The first official announce
ment was issued at about 1870 in the
afternoon. Before noon, however
rumors were spreading.
Admiral Jellicoe's report to the ad-
miralty follows:
81 have to report with deep regret
that his majesty's ship, Hampshire
Capt. Herbert J. Savill, r. NJ, with
Lord Kitchener and his staff on
board, was sunk last night at about
8 p. M, to the west of the Orkneys
either by mine or torpedo.
-Four boats were seen by observ'
ers on shore to leave the ship. The
wind was north-northwest and heavy
seas were running. Patrol vessels
and destroyers at once proceeded to
the spot and a party was sent along
the coast to search, but only some
bodies and capsized boat have been
found up to the present. AS the
whole shore has been searched from
seaward I greatly fear that there is
little hope of there being any sur
vivors.
"No report has yet been received
from the searching party on shore.
III. M. S. Hampshire was on her
way to Russia"

The Reason Why.

At the close of his talk before a
Sunday-school, the bishop invited
questions. A tiny boy with a white,
eager face, at once held up his hand.
"Please, sir" said he, why was
Adam never a baby?"
The bishop coughed in doubt as to
what answer to give, but little girl,
the eldest of several brothers and
sisters, came promptly to his aid.
"Please, SIR" she added smartly,
there was nobody to nuss him. -

saying there was the strongest
grounds for the belief that the Brit
ish navy in the battle with the Ger
mans off Jutland last week had ac-"
counted for total of eighteen Ger
man men-of-war and that there was
nothing to add to or subtract from
the original announcement of the
British losses.
The statement gave the German
losses as two battleships, two dread
naught battle cruisers, four light
cruisers, nine torpedo boat Destroy
ers and a submarine.
The pessimism which prevailed as
result of the admiralty's original
statement of losses, which is now con-
sidered to have been needlessly can
did and conservative in under-esti-
mating the extent of the German
losses as compared with those of
Great Britain, has been greatly less
ened by the latest statement.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships than
those announced in the German cona-
munication-the oattleship West
fallen and the battle cruiser Lutzow-:
were sunk in the battle. A wireless:
dispatch received here Saturday from
Berlin said the German admiralty
admitted the loss of the Westfalen.
Absolutely Greater.
The admiralty statement tonight
declares that the German losses in
the fight were not only relatively but
absolutely greater than those of the
British. Maintaining it's practice Of
caution, the admiralty still refrains
from giving the names of the lost
German ships.
The official list of the casualties
among officers shows that hardly a
single officer of the line escaped from
the British cruisers sunk in the bat
tie. An additional casualty list Of
petty officers shows that forty-three
of them were saved from the Queen
Mary, Invincible, Fortune and Shark.
None was saved from the Indefatiga-
BILE, Defence, Black Prince, Tippera-
ry, Turbulent, Nomad or Nestor.
The list gives the names Of sixty
five men killed aboard the Warrior
and of twenty-seven men wounded.
On the other ships engaged in the
fight 115 men were killed and IS
wounded.
Admiral Lord Beresford in an in
terview, while contending strongly
for the view that there was no fail
ure in the British strategy and that
Vice Admiral Beatty won brilliant
success, though it was dearly bought,
declared that the only mistake made
was by the admiralty in allowing the
Germans to get first in the field with
the news of the battle, or as he puts
it with ''impudent fabrications.
Otherwise, said Lord Beresford, no
fault can be found with the admiral
tV.

The year 1916 promises to be one of
great road improvement in the state.
North Dakota is prosperous, it's peo-
pie buying automobiles as never be-

ed in good roads. In the north half
of the state the wonderland Trail"
is attracting wide interest. Grand

mar can't always be smiling who has
to cook dinner, answer the door bell
half a dozen times, and get rid of a
neighbor who has dropped in; attend
to a sick baby; tie up the cut finger
Of a two-year-old; gather up the
play things of a four-year-old, tie up
the shoes of a six-year-old and get an
eight-year-old ready for school-to
say nothing of sweeping, cleaning,
etc. A woman with all this to con-
tend with may claim it as a privilege
to look and feel a little tired some
times, and a word of sympathy would
not be too much to expect from a
man, who, during the honeymoon,
wouldt'n let her carry so much as an
umbrella.
