Greece Moves to U. $.

New York, Feb. 17.-The govern
ment of Greece has been transfer
ring millions Of dollars of it's funds
from London to New York within a
few months, according to New York
bankers, who estimate that $751;
100000 of Greek funds are now on
deposit IN large number of banks
here. This action is regarded by
bankers as 4 precautionary move in
case CT break in the relations of
the Greek government with the en-
tente allies. The movement Of the
Greek funds from London to New
York became noticeable soon after
the recent Te"tonic invasion Of Ser
bia and was augmented when the
entente allies sent an expedition to
Saloniki for the relief of the Serb
ian army.
The transfers have been accom-
plished by the sale here OF credits;
which the Greek government has
maintained in London. The pro-
ceeds Of these sales have been turn
ed into dollars and deposited in New
York banks.

WILL SAVE STATE $25, 900 YEAR.

Contract for RefIndinS Consol Debt.

Columbia, Feb. 16.-The Sinking
Fund Commission late tonight an
nounced that it had awarded the
contract for refunding the Brown
consol debt Of the State to a syndi-
cate composed Of Townsend, Scott G.
Son, Baltimore; Stacy & Draugn,
New York, and Palmetto National
Bank, Columbia. This bid was for
the entire outstanding issue of Brown
consol bonds amounting TO s4,S0O,-
600, at par, with accrued interest to
date, and premium of $20.O16.
There were about Is bids, but this
was the most favorable one and it Sc
cured the issue.
The bonds are refunded under an
act passed by the Legislature in
1912. The new bonds will bear in
terest at the rate Of per cent annu-
ally instead Of ~ per cent, which
rate the Brown consols carried. This
will mean a saving Of $4,000 a year
in interest alone and under the terms
of the bid, which secured the bonds,
interest will be paid from 1912.
Manning Pleased.
Governor Manning gave out the
following statement in regard to the

rs business man and taxpayer, am
very much gmtifled that the Sinking

The first Clerk Of Oconee county
was Jesse w. Strbling, who served
four terms (1G years) and never Of
moved to Seneca, where he engaged
successfully in the banking business
until his death a few years ago. He
was 4 most efficient and courteous
oiIicer-kind and accommodating as
a man, true friend, prominent Ma
son, a pure and devoted Christian;
and in all the relations Of life. pub
lie and private, his was q character
to be admired and we'll worthy Of
imitation.
While he was Clerk it was often
remarked that Oconee would never
have such another Clerk, but wien
James Seaborn came in 1t was con-
ceded that the opinion was a mis-
taken one. Mr.. Stribling and Mr..
Seaborn were both gallant soldiers
In the Confederate war. Mr.. Sea-
born was also in the Office 16 years,
and did not offer any more. but en-
gagged in private business until his
death. tie, too, was prominent in
church work. a Mason with q char
table heart, man with a noble soul
and true impulses, whose hand was
always open to the unfortunte and
needy.
Then came the inimitable Davis
Burns, who made a splendid Clerk

private, are too we'll known to need
c0mmendation here, but it may be re-
marked that he has been styled the
"Adonis Of Walhalla'--"th Chaun-
cey Depew" Of social functions, a
liberal quoter Of Shakespeare and
other poets who sing Of love and it's
heavenly delights, as well as active
leader in political meetings, sweet
songster at singing conventions and
other places where the charm of mu-
sic and the harmony Of the human
voice are appreciated. Mr.. Burns is
comparatively young man and bids
fair to enjoy many more years Of USE
fulness and happiness.
Next comes the affable and e.Tl-
cient Clerk, John F.. Craig, the pres
ent encumbent, who has proven by
his excellent management of the Of
ice that he merited the confidence
the people have placed in him. Mr.
Craig is too we'll known to your
readers. for his efficiency as an Off
Ger, his usefulness as man and citi-
zen, as we'll as his Christian charac-
ter, to need any extended remarks
here. Both he and Mr.. Burns were
too young to serve their country in
Inc War Between the States
Mr.. Craig Is a descendant of a
family OF soldiers. His great-grand-
father was a soldier in the Revclu-
tionary War, and his father and SOW
eral uncles were gallant soldiers in
"our war" Two or three of these
Craig brothers were killed in battle
while defending what they believed
to be a righteous cause.
The records at Pickens and Wal

One very satisfactory explanation
OF the high rates now being charged
for shipping cotton abroad will be
found in the marked disappearance
OF ships as consequence Of the war.
The significant fact stands ont that in
the II months during which there
has been fighting at sea, nearly g.
100000 tons Of ships have been sunk
This tonnage was represented by $50
vessels OF all kinds. The record for
England is COZ ships, with a tonnage
OF l,132.551. Against this Is Ger
man loss Of 65 ships, with a tonnage
Of 161.SSS. The United States, not
at war, has lost seven vessels, repre-
senting tonnage Of 14,0S7. Lloyd's
Register Book for 1915-16 places the
entire British tonnage at 1,732,700,
and by these figures England's tom
mage now afloat amounts to but 540,-
159. On the other hand, Germany's
tonnage has been reduced from A.
7O6,O27, leaving aaoat at this time
i.5l+,139. The figures are for
steam and sailing vessels. In the
losses are included so steamers Of
over 5000 tons, but the giant victim
was the Lusitania, with a tonnage of
3O,396. There should be no confu-
sion OF ships on which Americans
were lost and American-owned ships.
AS indicated the latter have been
few, the William p. Frye being the
most notable. That ship was sunk
by German cruiser. OF the remain
Ing six, four were sunk by striking
mines.
