I ing been born on December %. 1897,

he came to this state with relative
while a mere boy. his father and
mother having died when he was
quite small.
Deceased Is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Martha, and three daughters.

knew him best. In politics. he had
always been Republican and the
latch string to his door has been pull
ed more often perhaps, than any

BEET SUGAR MEN
WILL CUT PRICE

Washington, Aug. 26.--An agree
ment by the country's beet sugar
producers to limit the price of their
production so as TO effect a reduc-
ton of about one and one-half cents
a pound in the present price of sugar
was announced tonight by the Food
Administration, with notice to the
public that this should mean a saw
ing of S30,OOO,OOO between now and
the first OF next year. II also was
announced that the wholesale grocegs
had agreed to limit distribution
charges to prevent eXorbitant charg-
es.
In the near future the Admins
trat,on will state the price at which
the wholesale sugar should be deliy-
cred at large consuming oenters. The
beet sugar price fixed is the equiyl-
lort of S7.25, cane sugar basis, t. o,

and convert them into draft or ex-
emption boards, but 1t strikes us as
being hardship altogether uncall-
ed for, especially in some instances.
At this particular season of the year
Sheriffs are, or should be, busily en-
gagged in collecting the revenue due
the counties and State. This enforc-
ed absence of the Sheriff from his Of
fee and the duties connected there
with. works great inconvenience,
not only to himself, but County
Treasures as we'll. The most incon-
venienced perhaps is, or may be, oc-
casioned by the enforced absence of
the Clerk of the County Court from
his office. The average County Clerk
in this State figures on running the
Clerks Office with one or perhaps two
deputies. 1t takes months to train
one for the various duties of a COM
petent deputy County Court Clerk.
Let something happen to the chief
deputy, as mas Dttl lllt IuoC ih 'ii'S
county, and the Clerk is simply up
against it, so to speak. The chief
deputy, Miss Woerner, has been sick
for number of days and out of the
office. Mr.. Blankenship, the Clerk,
so we are informed, has repeatedly
tried to get off of the local board, but
it appears that the powers above will
not release him, so he is compelled
to give his time to the duties of the
Exemption Board, when it is mat
ter OF the most urgent Importance
that he be in the Clerks office. AS
we said. it may be wise and just
course to pursue, but we can't just
exactly see it in that light. We be-
lieve that the county officials should
be left free and unhampered to per-
form the duties for which the people
elected them.

VIRGINIA Is BIGGEST
SOAPSTONE PRODUCER

Soapstone is a massive rock so rich
in tale as to have a soapy feel, II
is more extensively quarried and used
in the United States than i'm any 9TH
er country. Its most important ap-
plication, depending on its resistance
to heat, acids, and electricity, is In
the manufacture of laundry tubs, lab
oratory table tops, tanks, sinks, fume
hoods, and switch boards, and in gen
Cral insulation, besides many small
or uses growing out Of its slow radi-
alton of heat. There was a small
production of soapstone in Califor-
MIA in 1916, according to the United
States Geological Survey, Department
OF the Interior but almost the entire
output Of the United states came
from Virginia, where there were -four
producing uarrios. The total yield
for 1916, including that OF Caliior-
MIA, was 1862 short tons.

U-BOAT CAPTAIN
KILLS FlANCEE
SINKS VESSEL NOT KNOWING
THAT SWEETHEART WAS
ABOARD.

New York, Aug. 25.--How a Cap-
tain of a German U-boat unwittingly
killed his Norwegian sweetheart, her
/ father and brother, who were on the
ship he torpedoed. is a story told by
survivors of another sinking, that of
the American bark Artensus.
Capt Wimborn, of the Artensus,
knew the U-boat commander before
the war and on his last trip when he
was torpedoed he was taken before
/ the chief of the submarine. They
recognized each other and when Capt.
Wimborn asked his friend what had
become of the girl he was engaged
to, the German burst into tears.
The U-boat commander took him
to his cabin, showed him half hun.
dred photographs of the girl and
then told the story. A short time
previous ii had been necessary for
him to fire a shell at small schoon-
er before ripping it to pieces with
torpedo. The schooner happened to
be that of the girls father, with her
father, brother and herself on board.
a splinter from the shell killed the
GIRL her father was also slain by
the shot and when her brother, recog-
nized his sisters lover, he reproach-
ed him and then. on attacking him,
was knocked into the sea by a Ger
man sailor. and did not reappear.
In addition to the pictures, the
commanders cabin was filled with
tokens of the girl he himself had
killed and to whom he had written
a poem, the translation of which
follows:
Dear soul, oh, whittier have you fled?
The world was mine when you were
near;
Raise my bowed heart, you are not
dead;
Well meet again or heaven itself
were drear.
Capt. Wimborns story has not
been confirmed from other sourc-
es.

SPEEDS THRU FOG TO
ESCAPE SUBMARINE

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 25.-By
running at full speed into the thick
of a fog, British steamer, in today
from foreign port, escaped a Ger
man submarine which had pursued
her for several hours while trying
to get close enough to discharge a
torpedo. The captain of the steam
er reported that the U-boat took up
the chase shortly after his vessel got
away from port and was gradually
cutting down the distance between
them when he reached the edge Of
the fog. Accepting the lesser of two
dangers, the captain gave orders to
send the ship ahead and for an hour
or more, with the siren silent, she
sailed along with the fog so thick
that there would have been no time
to swing about had another craft ap-
peared 100 yards away.
