STORY or ATTACK
TOLD BY SURVIVORS,
survivors battered About i'm Omen
ii"at After Submarine
Sank Steamer.

ANe" ioih' ana fOrtO RlcO liner
Carolina, which was sunk by a Ger
man submarine Sunday evening,
were recovering tonight after forty
hours in the battered boat from
which they landed this afternoon.
The women were suffering from
exhaustion and all had suffered
from hunger and thirst, as they had
only little water and few bis
cults during the time they were at
sea. None was in a serious condition
however.
Mrs. p. J. Hamilton, wife OF Chief
Justice Hamilton, Of the Porto Rico
Supreme Court, and Miss Charlotte
Hamilton, her daughter, were among
the saved.
Inc boat, commanded by Chief En-
Sineer Mclean, landed at the foot
or South Carolina avenue. The eX-
hausted passengers were lifted bodi-
ly from their seats and carried to
an emergency hospital on the Sands.
Women and girls among the sur
vivors were unable to stand. Some
OF them were attired in rough blue
overalls and jumpers borrowed from
the crew The hair streaked across
their faces was plastered down by
the mixture of salt and water used
on their foreheads In an effort to
revive them when they tainted.
One woman about thirty years old
tainted as a life guard lifted her
tenderly from the yawl. Chief Sur
geon Bossert brought her q stimu-

DIR. DAVID ANNOUNCED
FOR STATE SENATE.
Prospective Candidates Willing to
Withdraw I'm Favor of Excellent
Citizen.

To the Editor OF Dillon Herald
On the 25th of May l wrote a let
ter to Messers. p. l.. Bethea, Jas. w.
Hamer, l.. M. Rogers, and r. S.
Rogers to the following effect:
That the writer and the gentle
men above named to whom the let
ter was addressed as prospective
candidates for the Senate from Dill
lon County withdraw their names
from the race and announce the
name of DR.. J. H. David as a candi-
date for the said office.
That this is time when the pa-
triotic people of the country should
r,siect no opportunity by which the
county might 10 honor u itself and
also render ass s':.Lcr to that great
cause for which al. lii, civilized
world Is fighting - ,iay
We can conf ;: tn. humor of DO
ing senator upon no one, who has
done more for Dillon County than
DR.. David. He has always been the
best friend of the County and il was
largely owing to his untiring ef-
forts that the county was created.
He is one of Dillon Counties best
farmers, progressive, Industrious, big
minded and the interests of no one
will suffer at his hands should he
accept the office
This Country must neglect no
opportunity for further the inter-
ests of any and everything that will
tend to awaken the people to the
luli realization of the enormity of
the undertaking that this country
has entered into, in it's war across
the seas. Nothing would come nearer
accomplishing this purpose than for
this grey headed patriot to appear
before our people, as one who has
sacrificed that he held nearest and
dearest for the honor of his country.
His being able to address the people
of our County will come nearer caus-
ing them to prepare for this great un-
dertaking and to come forward to the
call Of our country and get ready for
the sacrifices to come an to bend
their great efforts against the foe.
and meet the enemy on foreign soil.
and but for the fact of our brave
boys already in France the fight
might already be on our own shores.
TO confer this office upon DR..
David will rather be an honor to the
county, not DR.. David, for if the pa
iioiic people of the county should
,iiow the opportunity to pass and
i"'! 30 lhus honor this patriot, it will
DC Il dishonor to the people
Therefore the spirit of this pro-
posal is not especially that we wish
to confer an honor upon DR.. David
but rather that we are requesting
him TO bestow upon us an honor by
consentlng to accept the office and
10 further serve the people of his
country by going upon this cam
paign and arouse our people to the
full sense Of their duty to their
country in this crisis and stir them
up to a realization of the gravity
OF the situation and bring the war
nome to them and the spirit of this
proposition is that this worthy pa
tr!ot come out and strike for us and
our ccuntl! and confer upon the
county the honor o. accepting the Of
flee.

Politics and Taxes

in Congress appear to be
finding it difficult to chart a straight
course with regard to the pending revenue leg
islation. A few days ago the reactionary ones
among them in the Senate, standing squarely
behind Senator Penrose, OF Pennsylvania,
were declaring fatty that they would not per-
NIT the legislation to proceed through the
Senate with any provision attempting TO fix
the revenue policy for 1920 we'll as 1919.
To do that, they declared, would be to rob
the Republican Congress, which comes in
after March next, OF the opportunity OF
framing the taxes for 1920. In their desire
to protect the particular interests they repre-
sent, these reactionares were most anxious
that such an opportunity should not be lost.
They have taken second thought. They
behold, in the first place lack Of popularity
for their proposal TO hold up the tax levies
for 1919 in face OF the insistcnt demand
from the country for an early settlement of
the question. In the second place, regarding
the 1920 taxes. there is dubious feeling as
to whether after all. it would not be better
to shift responsibility for the taxes that must
come that year. If the Democrats are allowed
to fix the policy for 1920, these leaders now
say, the Republicans, going into the national
campaign Of that year, will not have TO carry
the onus Of whatever unpopularity such a
policy might incur.
Truly the politician is timid person. and
none is more timid than any one of the re-
dictionary Republican leaders of the Senate
Regardless OF the issue before Congress- they
must consider the politics of the situation as
they see it. Few of them realize that the best
politics on big national questions is often no
politics.

"Charlio" schwab Rctires

HE resignation of Charles NJ. Schwab as
director-general of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation gives opportunity for we'll
merited praise to another one OF that group
of dynamic personalities who made it pos
sible for America to participate in the world
war on scale that amazed friend and foe
alike.
Charlie Schwab took hold of the job
OF building the new merchant marine at a
time when it seemed impossible that We
should ever get started. With every moment
vital in our desperate purpose to make up
the great losses in allied tonnage due to
the enemy submarines, precious months had
been wasted i'll interminabe wrangling be-
tween rival policies in the Shipping Board
at no time in his supervision of the war
preparations did President Wilson show bet
ter judgment than he did when he called
Mr. Schwab to Washington and practically
drafted" him into the service.
The man whose genius had built up the
magnificent Bethlehem Steel Corporation did
not waste any time Quarrclng over theories.
Action had been his motto throughout his
career, and, having found it profitable in
private business, he saw no reason to discard
1t now. Ships, said he, were what the Amer
lean people wanted not arguments; and be-
cause he had learned that the cheapest way
to make steel rails was to standardize the
processes at his mills, he set about standard
izng the business of building ships. He pro-
posed to cut ship plates like a tailor cuts
cloth-many thicknesses at a time and all
OF size, and his conception OF the great
ship fabrication plants at Hog Island and at
Newark, N. j., was staggering only in its i'm
mensity. The operation of these plants was
to be as simple as that OF any factory where
Standardization is the watchword.
And Charlie" Schwab made false
promises. Within less than year after he
took hold he was turning out more tonnage
in single month than the United States
had ever built in an entire year. More than
that, the American yards were exceeding in
output even those world-famous yards in the
British Isles. Month after month the out
put has steadily increased. Driving behind
it always was the tireless Schwab, and
shoulder to shoulder with him was a mighty
force of ship-workers, who drew amending
supply of enthusiasm from the man at their
head.
The machinery is now running smoothly
along so we'll, indeed. did he organize it
that from now on little direction will be
needed. Charlie" Schwab's work is
over He is now entitled to give thought to
his private interests, which he gladly and
without murmur laid aside when the Pres
ident called him to the colors. Being young,
he undoubtedly will have a long life of &C
tivity ahead of him. and stand out promi-
nently in the work that lies ahead of Amer
lean industry in the new era that is open
ing up. But the nation will not soon for
get that it was Charlie" Schwab who put
across the shipping program.
