that comparison seems absurd.

CRUISER MEMPHIS "A WRECK.
Literally Picked Up by Waves and
Turned Upside Down.

The terrific pounding she received
after being cast on the rocks in San
Domingo harbor has practically made
the cruiser Memphis a total wreck.
Fouling on the rocks during
ground swell, she quickly became
disabled, her engines filling imme-
diately with water, which made the
rescue Of her crew an extreme
difficulty. The drowning of 20 of her
men while returning in motor
launch from shore leave will go
down in history as one of the most
tragic incidents in our navy in re-
cent years. The heavy swell caught
the craft In it's grasp and practically
hoisted it in the air and turned it
upside down, giving the men no
chance to save themselves.
The Memphis had been on duty in
Dominican waters ever since the re-
cent revolutionary disturbances in
San Domingo and Haiti started. The
cruiser was the flagship of Rear Ad-
miral Chas. f. Bond, commanding
the cruiser force on duty in the Ca
ribbean Sea. She was formerly the
Tennessee, her name having been
changed May rs last. She had a dis
placement Of 14,500 tons and COM
plement Of 900 men. The accident
in the harbor Of San Domingo was
not the Memphis first mishap. In
1908, then the Tennessee, she had
boiler explosion off Port Hueneme,
Cal. Seven men were killed in that
accident. The cruiser at the outset
Of the war carried $5,867, 900 to Eu-
rope for the relief of American refu-
gees who were stranded in the war;
stricken country, Later she trans
ported American refugees from
Havre, France, and English ports.
She was commanded by Capt. Beach.

Greenville, Sept. THAT the South

Company K, Rock Hill, who came to
Greenville last night. Lieut.. Chan

in order that he may assume his du-
ties as instructor at Staunton Mill
tary Academy. in Virginia.
Lieut.. Chandler says the general
orders indicate that the home move
ment will begin the first week in Oc-
tober. The $1,000 troops already
ordered home Is an advance move
ment, he says. He thinks the South
Carolina guardsmen will come in for
about three weeks patrol duty and
will also be called upon for manoeu-
vers In the mountains.

WARsHIps TO CONVOY GERMANS
Auxiliary Cruisers at Norfolk TO BE
Transferred TO Philadelphia.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Convoyed
by American warships and flying
their own flag, the German auxiliary
cruisers Prinz Eitel Friedrich and
Kron Prinz Wilhelm, now interned at
the Norfolk navy yard, will be trans
ferred to Philadelphia some time be-
tween the 20th and 3Oth of this
month. The American escort will
serve the double purpose of guard
ing against attempt to escape and
protecting the German boats from
attack by allied warships, as it will
be necessary for the squadron to
pass outside the three-mile limit.
The State Department will notify
the German ambassador of the
change, but it will not be necessary
to ask permission, as this country
has become responsible for the ships
and may do whatever it believes
necessary. The transfer Is to be
made because construction Of a new
dock at Norfolk has reduced availa-
Bile space there.
There are 324 officers and men on
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich and 42O on
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. The facil-
tiles at Philadelphia will allow
greater liberties to the interned sea-
men, who are kept under close sur
veillance.

In selecting a dairy COW. 1t is neces.

meant especially those visible features
which indicate to the knowing eye
whether or not a cow has good dairy

the record and the pedigree Of the

from the side. She should have q
large barrel, large udder and promin-

Of Oconee, and having adopted Nc
Cormick county as my home, thought
it probable that Oconeeans would
like to know something of what the
people Of South Carolina's baby

Mccormick is truly the "baby
county" Of South Carolina, having
been created during the past session
Of the Legislature.
1t embraces 402 square miles of
territory, cut off from Abbeville,
Greenwood and Edgetield counties.
The population Of this county is 49,
500; the value Of property is ten
million dollars. We have good
schools and churches, and a fine eli
mate and good water.
The county seat Of this county is
Mccormick, a growing little town of
1900 people.
During the past year fifty families
have moved into this county, coming
mostly from Anderson and Green
vile counties. These people sold
their homes in the above named
counties for from $50 to 500 per
acre, and bought just as good land
here in Mccormick county for from
$40 to $50 as they owned before
they came here.
If you want to know anything
more about Mccormick county you
can get all the Information you want
from any Of these fifty families who
