It IS in constant expectation of being

BREMEN WITH DEUTSCHLAND
IN BRITISH HARBOR
Nordsud Agency Makes Definite
Statement of Their Capture-Koe-
mig and Crew in Scotland Camp. q.

New York, Jan. 30.-Both the
Deutschland and the Bremen, the two
German submarine liners, have been
captured by the British and now are
in the port of Rosythe, England, and
Captain Paul Koenig, commander of
the Deutschland, and his entire crew
are in detention camp in Scotland,
accordin to statement given out
tonight by the Nordsud Agency on
information said to have been OBJ
tanned from a source close to the
British consulate in New York.
The Nordsud Agency, which has a
recognized standing with the Russian
government and which received a
special government cable from Petro-
grad, refused to give the exact source
or authority upon which the state
ment is based. The Nortisud Agency's
statement follows:
"By source closely identified with
the British consulates in New York
it was definitely stated today that the
German merchant submarine Deut-
schland had been netted by the Brit
ish and was now in Rosythe, Eng
land, lying beside her sister subma-
rine, the Bremen.
"It was further definitely stated
that Captain Koenig and his entire
crew had survived and that they are
all now interned in a detention camp
in Scotland.
at is further definitely stated that
the British admiralty intends to per-
nit the British public. to view those
two German submarines, together
with other U-boats Captured, for a
shilling apiece, beginning March J.,
1917.
"Among the officers on the Deut-
schland when she was brought into
the British port were Krapohl, the
first officer, and Eyring, second off,
Ger, who, is developed, was second Of
ficer of the German raider Karlsruhe
before she was sunk in the West
Indies"

GREEKS SALUTE
FLAGS OF ALLIES

London, Jan. 29.--The ceremony of
saluting the Entente Allies flags by
Greece WAS carried out Monday after
noon in the Zappeion in accordance
with the arrangements recently enter
ed into between the Greek Govern
ment and the Entente Powers, says
a Reuter- dispatch from Athens. The
Allied ministers, the commander Of
the First Army Corps and the men,
bers OF. the Greek Cabinet were pres
ent, The general public WAS exclud-
ed from the building. No untoward
incident occurred.

this agitation for a home for feeble
minded people just means more jobs.
That crowd even had man from the
North down in Columbia the other
night giving moving picture show
Of feeble minded children, showing
the pictures to the House and Sen
ate members in the hall Of the House.
The administration folks want to
appropriate 100000 to carry the
Citadel boys to the Inauguration in
Washington on March 4th. That was
one Of the things that Charleston
paid our way down there for last
Wednesday. And then they want
some more money than they have
been getting for the State Medical
Collge.
The tuberculosis home wants some
more money; and they ought to have
it. This is for the education of the
masses against consumption.
But bless your life, what do you
think now? The Prohibitionists, who
work only for morals, what about
them? They want new office Gre
ated, to be called commissioner of
Prohibition, and good big appropr
alton made to pay his salary and to
enforce the law. Now If we send the
Citadel boys to Washington, in addi-
tion to giving them a free education,
how can we get around also sending
the Clemson boys, and the Carolina
boys, and the Winthrop girls, and the
deaf and blind boys and girls of
Cedar Springs, and the negro stu
dents in the State College at Orange
burg. And if we create commits
sioner Of prohibition, then why not
commissioner to enforce any other
set of special laws, murder, larceny,
adultery, etc. What have we got
sheriffs, and constables, and police
men for?
Johnson and Mellett and Senator
DuRant have all been at their posts
the past week. Mr.. johnson has in
troduced two measures, one in rela-
tion to the cattle tick land, which I
have not yet had an opportunity to
read, and the other to reduce the time
from ten days to three days in which
persons who sell property under lien
may pay the debt into the clerk of
courts Office.
Mr.. DuRant has a number of meas
ures over in the Senate, and his one
quart liquor bill is giving him much
notoriety. Mellett is watching and
listening and voting against extrava-
gantly spending the peoples money,
and has not introduced any bill as
yet, and I guess he is as wise as any
Of us.

Leave Villas Standards.

San Antonio, Jan. 29.-That Jose
Inez Salazar and 1900 men have de-
serted Villa because Of a quarrel with
him over the division OF spoils taken
at Torreon, is the Substance of ad-
vices received by the Mexican con-
sulate here today.
Salazar is said to have led Villas
army against Torreon, Villa being un-
able to lead in person because of
wound received at Guerrero.
The consulate also was advised that
Salazar has asked amnesty of the
Constitut:onalists.

DRY CONVENTION
PASS RESOLUTION

Columbia, Jan. 30.--A resolution
urging the legislature to enact rigid
prohibition measure was adopted at
the state convention Of prohibitionists
held here tonight and will be present
ed to the general assembly tomorrow.
Former State Senator Carlisle, of
Spartanburg, presided. Mrs. E. E.
Howell, president Of the Women's
Christian Temperance union, of Flor
ence, presented petition, and in an
address urged an alright measure,
and the inhibition Of all liquor adver-
tisements. There were many speeches.
Mr.. John F. Bolt, of Marlboro, made
an argument in favor of statewide
prohibition. Mayor Olin Sawyer, of
Georgetown, and Col. J. P. Gibson, of
Bennettsville, urged that now was the
time for decisive action.
Senator DuRant, of Clarendon,
spoke in favor of his qua1t-a-month
bill, but the assemblage seemed to
want immediate cessation of liquor
shipments The addresses of. DR..
Sawyer and Col. Gibson were elo-
quent presentations of the prohibi-
tion propaganga, and were literally
applauded.
1t is stated by one who made a
count that 28 counties were repre-
sented.
How the prohibitionists in the leg
islature will get toether among them
selves is now the question. Some of
their strongest advocates being in
favor of a gradual reduction in
amount allowed to De skipped into Tie
state, and tonight's nonvention, call
ed by the superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league, Mr.. J. X. Breedin,
having declared in favor of "bone-
dry" measure, the question is higher
Cup in the air" than ever, especially
in view Of the fact that the DuRant
quart bill has favorable committee
report In the senate.
Another feature Of the whole prop
osition is that the most "airtight'
measure yet proposed at this session
is by Mr.. ,Richey, of Laurens, sup.
porter of former Governor Blease.
Still another feature of the liquor
situation as it appears tonight is the
bombshell thrown into the camp OF
the prohibitionists by the majority
favorable report submitted upon the
Fromberg measure for license sys.
tenn in Charleston for light wines and
beers.
As result Of the prohibition con.
vention tonight, and Of various com.
mittee reports in the legislature, and
Of no decisive legislative action sc
far, the entire situation is still very
vague, and nobody knows what il
going to happen.

of this industry is largely due to the
Farmers Union system of marketing.
The potatoes handled by the Union
during the past season being sold
through their sales agency, The
Boyle Commission Company.
GRAIN CROPS
Wheat, oats and barley are very
productive crops in this valley, and
have their place in crop rotation un-
der irrigation. The soil, climatic
conditions, and abundance of water
for irrigation combine to make this
a great small grain district
Wheat is one of the most import
ant grain crops raised in the United
States, and the average yield per
acre here Is about three times the
average yield where rainfall supplies
the moisture.

The Great Farming District
Of the San Luis Valley
Continued from first pagc).

farm products were shipped from
the valley by the Farmers Union in
1916. and since this organization be-
gan business in the year 1915, the
farmers have received the highest
market prices for their crops. The
operations of Union of this kind
whereby the producer is represented
and he receives the high profitable
prices for his crops, is another good
reason why farmers should choose
this valley as an ideal location in
which to establish a farm home.
THE POTATO CROP
The San Luis Valley is one of the
four large potato growing districts
of the Rocky Mountain region, and
the 1916 crop of spuds was the larg-
est this locality ever produced. The
profits made by the potato growers
