than horse that won't even try to
pull, bites his mate and kicks at ev-
erything in sight. I am not going
| to help harness either team. What
| is the use? One horse is not able
and the other will not pull load
with Woodrow Wilson as driver,
and we can't get new driver (even
lif we wanted to) for the next two
years. It is a bad plan, anyway,
when you have to change drivers to
suit a horse My experience is that
horse more interested in kicking
the driver off the seat than in pulling
the load won't work with any driver
and will make every horse in the
team balky before he is through.
Then, too, we now need Gatling guns
instead of old rusty worn-out pitch
forks. I know this letter will offend
many of my friends and I regret it
from the bottom of my heart, but If
they live long enough they will see
that I am right as they have found
out before when they differed with
me. I am saying what I feel to be
my duty, and if every political friend
I have turns against me it will not
be the first time that sense of duty
has left me alone without party
or political faction. l feel that
am capable Of rendering good SER
vice to the people of South Carolina,
but I am not going to dodge an i'm
portant issue in order to obtain po-
litical support. l am in the middle
of the road unfettered by factional
Ialignments of any kind. Those who
desire to be of real service to South
Carolina must be courageous and un-
selfish or our petty factional squab
bles will continue to make us the
laughing stock of the nation. Re-
|spectfully, JOHN L. M'LAURIN.

FARMER KILLS ANOTHER.
NJ. C. Kirkland Says He Shot L. n.
Jefcoat to Defend His Home.

Lexington, Feb. 81. n. Jefcoat,
well-known farmer of the Edisto
section Of Lexington county, was shot
and mortally wounded by NJ. Cordie
Kirkland, a large and successful
planter, the shooting having taken
place within thirty yards of the home
of Kirkland on Friday night about Z
o'clock. Jefcoat, with five buckshot
wounds in the arm and back, was
rushed to the Baptist hospital in Co
lumbia, at 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing.
Everything possible was done for
the wounded man, but death came at
about 8 o'clock Saturday night. Kirk
land was brought to the county jail
by Sheriff Miller on Saturday after
noon, where he will remain until
bond is arranged, in the event that
bond is secured.
It seems that Jefcoat had been go-
Ing to the kirkland premises two
nights in a week for year or longer,
without the knowledge of Kirkland,
and that two or three weeks ago
kirkland became acquainted with
the alleged arrangement carried out
on Tuesday and Friday nights. Kirk
land, enraged, it appears, at what he
thought was going on around his
premises, planned for the coming of
Jefcoat on Friday night kirkland,
it is said, lay in wait fof Jefcoat, who
soon appeared in the darkness. at or
near a hay stack some thirty yards
from the home of kirkland. Seeing
Kirkland coming, according to tbs in
formation received, Jefcoat began to
move in the darkness and Kirkland
raised his gun and fired. Both barrels
CT the gun were emptied, only the
second, however, taking effect. JEFF
coat screamed in agony, but went to
the home of negro some 200 yards
distant, where he remained until the
arrival of relatives and friends.
When seen at the county jail today
and asked for a statement, Kirkland
declared that he had nothing to give
out at this time; that he had 10: em-
rloye6 counsel and until he had done
so he would not give out ansthing.
He expressed much regret, though,
over the necessity, as he said, of pro-
tecting his home, and especially did
he regret the cause which led up to
the tragedy. Mr. Kirkland is forty
nine years of age, is one of the larg-
est and most successful planters in
the county and has wife and eight
children, five sons and three daugh-t
ters. He stands we'll in the COM
r:unity where he resides.
The dead man was about fifty five
years of age and also has wife and
several children. He also had great
many friends. Since Jefcoat died in
Richland county it is presumed that
the inquest will be conducted by the
coroner Of Richland county. Sheriff
Miller was Immediately notified Of
Jefcoat's death and left for Columbia
| to be present at the inquest
This is the first homicide to occur
in Lexington county in several years
where all the parties connected are
prominent.

speaker. They are leaders in every
walk of life and are giving unstint-
ed service to the State. The coun-
Gil is non-partisan, harmonious in
it's deliberations and unpolitical in
it's work. He claimed that the adop-
tion of the committee amendment
requiring one man from each coun-
ty would rid the council of some of
it's strongest men, as several of them
come from the same counties. 1t
was brought out that the council
spent s3,71S.41 since it's inception.

WHY SUBS WE'RE LET LOOSE.
Dutch Paper Publishes Illuminative
Secret Document.

Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-The Handels-
blad today published series of doc
uments obtained secretly from Ger
man archives, showing the steps
which led to the adoption by Ger
many of her unrestricted submarine
campaign a year ago. The following
is a summary of the documents:
"At the close of 1915 the German
admiralty prepared a memorandum
to show that unrestricted u-boat war
fare would compel Great Britain to
sue for peace within six months y
The wording of the memorandum in
dicates that the admiralty had al
ready decided to adopt this intensifi-
ed warfare, but desired to convince
the emperor, the imperial chancellor
and the foreign office of the certainty
of the good results on economic and
general grounds rather than merely
on military grounds.
Accordingly, the memorandum bas-
ed it's arguments on statistics of food
prices, freight and insurance rates
in Great Britain. 1t pointed out the
effect which even the restricted sub
marine warfare had shown on prices
of the essential commodities on the
balance of trade and on the morale
of the English people.
The memorandum first was submit
ted to DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollwegg
the imperial chancellor; and then to
DR.. Karl Helfferich, vice chancellor
The latter rejected it on the ground
that it was impossible to set lin
it on England's staying power and
the absence of authentic estimates of
her stock on hand, also because he
feared the action, which would re-
suit from neutrals, especially the
United States.
Internal Situation.
The authors of the memorandum
then sent a reply in which they point
ed out the gravity of the internal
situation in Germany and assured
DR.. Helfferich that desperate rem
edy was necessary. They reinforced
their argument as to the seriousness
of the internal state of affairs by call
ing in nine experts, representing Ger
man finance commerce, mining and
agriculture.
These experts included Waldemar
Muller, president of the Dresden
bank; DR.. Salomonsoh, director OF
the Discomfort Gesellchaft; Paul
Reusch, Prussian councillor of COM
merce; DR.. Springoru, iron and rail-
way magnate; Max Schinkel, presi-
dent of the Hamberg Norddeutsche
bank, and Herr Zuckschwardt, coun-
sellor of commerce of Madgeburg.
AS experts, these men were invit-
ed to reply to three questions:
First, what would the effect on
England be of an unrestricted sub
marine warfare; second, what be the
effect on Germany's relations with
the United States and other neutrals,
and third To what extent did the
internal situation of Germany de-
mand the use of this drastic weapon.
All the experts agreed on the first
point that England would have to
sue for peace in almost six months.

On the Lorraine Front.

With American Army in France,
Saturday, Feb. 2.-American troops
are now occupying sector of the
Lorraine front. The military censor
has permitted publication of this an
Inouncement.
The correspondents permanently
accredited to the American army
have been informed they may pro-
ceed to virtually any point within tho
zone Of fire, except the trenches, with
out escort, and without special per-
mission: Arrangements were made
today whereby newspaper men may
proceed to any brigade headquarters a
few kilometres behind the trenches
after first reporting their presence
within the zone to the headquarters
of the division of which the brigade
is a part. Unless there is some oc-
currence which makes it advisable in
the opinion of the brigade command
er for correspondents to move nearer
the front they may walk from his
headquarters to regimental headquar-
ters behind the lines.
Since all roads Immediately behind
the front are within easy German
gun range and under German obser-
vation, not more than two CORES
pondents may nave forward together.
They must wear gas masks, in alert
positions, and helmets. Newspaper
men must obtain special permission
to visit the trenches and must be &C
companied by an escorting officer.
The fact that American troops were
in the trenches in Lorraine was re-
vealed by the German war officer
three months ago, according to an
official German announcement, the
Americans were on teh front at the
Rhine-Marne canal which intersects
the battle line near the German bor-
der, due east of Nancy. This an
nouncement was made in the official
report from Berlin of the first Ger
man raid on the American positions,
in which three Americans were kill
ell, five wounded and twelve captur-
ed.
The eastern end of the battle line
in France and Belgium runs through
French and German Lorraine. French
Lorraine, in which is the American
sector, is included in the departments
of Meuse, the capital Of which is Ver-
dun; Meurthe-Et-Moselle, whose cap
ital is Nancy, and Vosges, with the
capital at Epinal. The length of the
front in French Lorraine is about $50
miles. This section of the battle
line extends into the Meuse from the
Marne near St. Menehould, and runs
eastward to the north of Verdun,
