with great rapidly, and 1t would have
been very bad tactics to give them
such an initial advantage not only in
regard to gunnery but also in respect
to torpedo attack, both from ships and
from destroyers"
This distrust of torpedo attack was
with the Admiral all through the bat
tie. You find it recorded on many
pages. II doubt" he says, whether
the skill of our commanders could have
saved several ships from being tor
pedoed had the range been less and
the torpedoes consequently running at
a higher speed"
1t Is "A curious sidelight on the nerve
strain under which the Admiralty la
bored during the progress of the battle

waged, Mr.. Asquith, talking in the
; House of Commons, and giving no
smallest hint as to the fight itself.
warned his hearers that invasion was
risk that cannot be left out of con-
sideration."
Feared RiskinE Too Much.
While the expert may find much TO
interest him in the mass of technical
details surrounding Admiral Jellicoe's
account of the great battle, the aver
age reader will not fail to be impressed
by tho emphasis he lays on one fact:
The last consideration present
in my mind was the danger in
VOWED in leaving too much to
chance in a fleet action, because
our fleet tDds the one and OnIU fac
| tor that lcdS ritdl TO the criStence
OF the empire, as indeed to the al
| lied cause. We had no reserve out
side the hattie fleet which could in
| and way take its place, should dis
aster befall it or even should it's
margin of superiority over the
| enemy be eliminated.
Tho situation was in many re-
spects different from that with
which our navy was faced in the
time of the old wars. In those
days disaster could only come
about by reason of bad strategy or
tactics owing to our enemy being
in overwhelming strength when
met, or his better handling Of his
forces, and, apart from mannu-
wiring, the action was invariably de-
cided by Runfire, we'll known and
we'll tried weapon.
During the new war two entire

with the Grand Fleet. Once in Au-
gust, 1916, it ventured beyond the
Heligoland triangle but turned for
home when warned by Zeppelin that
the Grand Fleet was moving south.
4 Fight of Gallant Men.
The battle of Jutlaud was a fight OF
gallant men and gallant boys. There
was mourning in many homes from
John O'Groats to Lands End and from
Harwich to Galway. Jellicoe has moth
ing but praise for his heroes. He sin
giles out few by name, but the tale Of
the Chester is one of the stirring incl
dents of the battle.
The light cruiser Chester, about $50
p. NJ, closed with three or four scout
ing enemy cruisers and opened fire at
range of 5000 yards. The enemy's
fourth sSIx hit the Chester and ptrt
No. l gun out of action, killing the
crews at other guns. An unequal en-
gagement lasting nineteen minutes fol-
lowed but Capt. Lawson of the Ches-
ter succeeded in bringing his vessel
back to his squadron. He had 81 men
killed, 30 wounded, 3 guns disabled, and
four shell holes above the water line.
1t was on board the Chester that Jack
Cornwell won the Victoria Cross.
Cornwell was boy first class. a
gallant lad 1914 years of age, who re-
manned standing alone at a most eX-
posed post quietly awaiting orders till
the end of the action with the guns
crews dead and wounded all about him.
The dead died heroic deaths-the
wounded behaved with marvellous for
titude. The British navy in 1916 had
nothing to learn in this respect from
its forefathers.
His Book Tribute to Navy.
Admiral Jellicoe's book is a tribute
to that navy and to its long and hon
orable vigil guarding the seas so that
the rest of the world might go about
its lawful occasions"
For American readers. the loss of
the Audacious on October 81, 1914. will
always be of interest. 1t took place

Flow. Orders had been given to the

SENATOR cAPPER SEES DARK
DAYS FOR THE FARMERS

Washington.-Farmers are having
their troubles, too.
Indications point to greatly re-
duced crops next year because OF this
discontent, according TO Senator Cap
per, Kansas, publisher of several ag-
ricuhural papers. ;,
Farmers are not planning to strike
exactly, but there is q general ex-
pectation that acreage will be great
" reduced, Senator Capper said in
an interview. ~
Low profits, labor shortages, high
wages and rising costs Of implements
are some Of the reasons assigned
"The American farmer won't go on
strike, but he is getting mighty sui
len" Senator Capper declared.
ssWhsat acreage will fall ,off prob
ably ene-third next year and the gen.
eral crops are going to be smaller.
81 don't think there is any con-
certed movement among the farmers
along this line.No farm prganiza-
ti6ns, SO far as I know, have adopted
resolutions urging a deliberate cur
failing of production. But peverthe-
less afrmers are Individually sizing
up the situation and are deciding to
60 slowly next year.
81 receive many letters daily from
farmers, complaining about nearly
everything. Hog prices are down,
wheat will probably be lower next
year, while labor costs are going
up" ~

BIG SUM AWAITS
RURAL CARRIERS

r Rural mail carriers \ in South
Carolina will reveive approximately
$4,000 in back pay in accordance
with the new schedule of salaries
adopted by congress and becoming
a law ON November 8, according to
officials of the Columbia postoffice,
where all pay checks are made out
for carriers. The increase went into
effect on the above date, but it Is
retroactive to July l, the beginning
of the fiscal year, This will amount
to nearly $4,000 according to
Postmaster Thomas B. Madden, who
will be required to write out the
checks. In the back pay only regular
carriers will be benefited, the law
allowing none for substitutes and
temporary men.
The YEARLY increase in salaries
for these same carriers will amount
to practically $160,000 which seems
to be considering jump in wages
but, considering the individual In
crease, it is not as high as might at
first be thought. Mr.. Madden said
yesterday most of the money would
be paid to carriers at an average OF
about 5000 year increase. :,
Every quarter carriers are paid
app, oximately $35O,O00 for their
work and the checks are all written
by the Columbia postmaster, this be-
ing the central paying office. The
yearly amount paid reaches over
s1,500,000.

RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN

Taking a deep personal interest
in the campaign to cut the tuberru.
losis death rate in the South, eight
governors of as many Southern
States are to be included into con-
ference at Chattanooga, Tennessee
on the 29th Of this month with tuber.
culosis experts from National Tuber.
culosis Association. The conference
will endorse the Red Cross Christmas
Seal Campaign and advocate the pur-
chase of seals as big factor in the
death of the White Plague.
Governor Robt. A. Cooper, Of this
State, is one of the eight executives
to have the distinction Of being the
first in history Of the organized
fieht on tuberculosis to take such
official action. While the Governor
will be unable to be present at the
conference his views will be known
there. He wrote Governor A. d.
Roberts of Tennessee, to the effect
that he will not be able to leave the
State on that date. The other exc
cutiyes who will combine their ef-
forts to protect the people from
tuberculosis are from Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Ken
tucky and Mississippi.
All available data, based upon the
findings of the country's greatest
experts, will will be placed before
the governors of their consideration.
That the annual death toll due TO
:, 1sn mn a voar in
this country and that the active cases
today number 100000 are two
facts that stare the executives in the
face. -,
Plans to assure the success Of the
seal sale will be decided upon. More
than 650,000,000 are to, be sold II
the 1920 educational and preventive
proragm Of the various organizations
allied to carry on the fight are to go|
ahead. OF that number South Caro-
lina's quota is 100000 netting a
sum Of $65,o00.

TAX RETURNS

Plans for the issuance early in
December of forms for filing income
and excess profits tax returns are
being made by the Bureau Of In.
ternal Revenue. Taxpayers will thus
be given the opportunity of making
out their returns immediately
upon the closing of their books for
the year 1919, when accurate know.
ledge Of their accounts is fresh in
their minds.
AS a convenience to themselves and
as q means Of expeGting the work OF
the government, taxpayers are urged
by the Bureau, in q statement issued
to-day, to avail themselves of this
opportunity. The period for filing il
from January 1 to March Is, 1920.
If the tax is paid in quarterly in
stallments, one-fourth of the amount
must accompany the filing return.
Form 1040-A will be used for filing
Idnividual Income Tax returns Of
$4,000 and less, and Form 1040 for
filing returns Of Income in excess OF
that amount. -
/, The normal rate Of tax for 1919,
provided for in the Revenue Act Of
1918, is 4 per cent on the first $4,000
above the exemptions, and per cent
on the remaining net income. The tax
for 1918 was s and IL per cent re-
spectively. The surtax rates, which
range from ! percent on the amount
Of net income between $4,000 and
$4,000 to 65 per cent on the amount
by which the net income exceeds
81 900, 900, are the same as for the
year 1918. The exemptions OF 81 1000
for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons and heads Of families
remain unchanged.
These rates apply to every citizen
and resident of the United States.
Alien nonresidents receiving income
from sources within the United States
are subject to the full tax Of 8 per
cent on such income in excess Of the
exemptions.
Form 1041 will be used for filing
returns of. fiduciaries, Form 1905 for
and personal service
corporations, and Form 1120 for
corporations.
Announcement will be made of the
date on which the forms will bel
at the Offices of the Col
lectors of Internal Revenue and
branch offices.

Why THE sWlNDLER' DIDN'T
APPEAR rv.s

It is impossible to say in just how
many ways q local farmers organiza-
ton can be helpful to it's members.
Here is one example:
In the writer's county a company
of farmers, operate g warehouse. In
charge Of this warehouse as diree-
tors are some level-headed farmers
with good business judgment, who
have also retained good local. law
yer as their attorney. Into this COM
munity recently came some agents
selling stock in a Florida soft phos-
phate mining company, and making
all kinds of promises to prospective
investors. The farmers in this COM
munity said to the agent: "Well, we
should like to have the combined
judgement Of our best men about
your proposition. We win get our
board of directors to meet as such
an hour, together with our attorney,
and you may come before them and
tell them your proposal. Then if
after their investigation they think
it safe and wise for us to invest our
money with you, we will do So" The
agent, of course, had to agree that
this was fair enough proposition
and promised to meet the. directors.
But when the appointed time for the
came, he was nowhere to be-
found. He had skipped to the other
pastures where farmers were more
gullible and less well organized!
Just now when the woods are full
of swindling, stock-selling agents,
this sort Of cooperation might bel
practiced to advantage in almost any
county in the South.-Progressive
Farmer.

HOAR GARAGE
CHANGES HANDS

A deal was consnmated yesterday
by which Charles Hnar disposes of
his garage business and leases the
garage to Luce Brothers,
MIR Hoar sells the tools and acces-
sories to the new firm and they will
continue the business.
The new firm is composed Of two
brothers, Charles Luce, who comes
from Grover and f. A. Luce who
comes from stratton. Colorado
The latter has been in the garage
business and has already moved here
with his family and is occupying the
Lawson house
The former will move here just as
soon as he can arrange his affairs
on his farm near Grover.
Both families have children Of
school age and so the schools keep
on growing.
Mr. Hoar has not made announce
ment as to his future Intentions but
he says that the family viii remain
here for the balance of the school
year at least,
