Three Vouii'i Men Wlu CouM X;fi Swim Jumped Overboard to I. light en the lo.itl. Philadelphia Dispatch, May 31st. Sacrificing their lives that the lives of four companions, two of them girls, might be saved, three young men, none of whom could swim, leap ed Into the Delaware river from a sinking row boat yesterday and were drowned. The story of their hero ism was told today by the survivors. The dead are: John Mouchech, Raymond Tlnney and John Murphy. The saved are: George German, Sarah German, Mary German and John Nevill. Tinney and Sarah German were en gaged to be married. Accompanied by the other members of the party they visited the New Jersey side of the river yesterday in a large row boat. They were more than 100 yards from shore when it was noticed that the craft was rapidly sinking. Despite efforts of the seven occu pants to bail the boat with their caps it soon became evident that unless the load was lightened the boat would sink before shore could be reached. None of the party could swim but all of the men volunteered to jump out. Sarah German begged the llnney boy not to risk it but he was the first to spring over the boat's side, follow ed by Mouchech and Murphy. In spite of the sacrifice the boat capsized shortly after the three men had disappeared in the water and the four other occupants were thrown Into the water. Nevill and German clung to the overturned craft and grasping, the girls held them until the party was rescued by a motor- boat. To the Voters of Union County. I feel that I want to say a few words in regard to the vote that was given me in the late primary for Senator from this district. I feel so grateful to the people of the county for the fine vote given me that, I cannot let pass the opportunity to express my thanks. hile I was de feated by a small vote, the splendid support given me makes me almost as happy as I would have been had I been nominated. We are told that it is better to merit success than to win it, and so I feel that the vote which I received from the good peo ple of the county was almost as good an endorsement as would have been the few more necessary to sue cess. I came out late and therefore did not have time to see all the friends I should liked to have seen, and under the circumstances my vote was such that I will ever be proud to remember. I thank you all very greatly and sincerely. Very respectfully yours, W. O. LONG. Mr. Kennlngton Remembered. Mr. Editor: Please allow me to tell In your paper of the great sur prise that came to us last Friday evening. v hile engaged in the Lord's work, there came to our home the good people of Icemorlee with their arms full of good things to eat We are unable with words (o expres our appreciation and heartfelt thanks for these blessings. May God bless ing rest upon this people. We extend to them a cordial invitation to come again. R. H. KLNNINCTON. Pastor North Monroe Charge. DIED TO SAVE OTHERS. THE CORN' CLUB BOY. Tells in Rhyme What He Will Do, No Matter What Others Do Ev ery Boy Urged to Stay In. Mr. A. K. Robertson of Raleigh, assistant in the Boys' Corn Club Work, was in Monroe yesterday both to look-after the work and to appear before the county commissioners in behalf 'of the demonstration work. Mr. Robertson says that there are nearly five thousand members of the corn clubs in the State now. He fears that some of the boys might get discouraged on account of the dry weather and abandon their acres. He urges them not to do this, but to stay by their wk. He says that a corn club boy of Georgia has written the following little poem which ex presses the spirit of grit and deter mination which all the boys should possess: Yes, Fm in the "Corn Club," I was in it last year, too. If I don't make a peck of corn My reports shall all be true. If I don't make the largest yield I'll make just all I can, Somebody else will get the prize But I won't blamo my land. I cannot lose, I do not fear, I will not be ashamed. I'll have my corn if not a prize So I am not to blame. I'm going in the "Corn Club," I'm going to do my best. If other boys will do like me, We'll make some corn I guess. Dr. Itniley Rings the Hell. Scottish Chief. Dr. Thos. T. Bailey of Marion S C, delivered the address at the clos ing exercises of the Bennettsville High School Monday night. The Pee pee Dally gives the following report of bis address which indicates that he rang the warning bell most ad mirably. Dr. Bailey delivered a very able and scholarly address on "The Dan gers of Democracy." He said there were three great dangers: 1, The false worship of money and the power it exerts. 2. The worship of numbers. He said that majorities are not always right, and that questions of right and wrong cannot be settled by votes 3. The inordinate love of pleasure and amusement. He named automo biles, moving pictures and children's parties as forms of pleasure, Inno cent and unobjectionable in modera tion and reason; but liable to cause excessive Indulgence and demoraliz ing excitement. He closed with the wish that the people might so train their children that they will reach a great, noble and efficient manhood and woman hood. Vital Statistics. Having been appointed by Dr. A D. N. Whitley of Unionvllle to the very important positon of vital sta tistician in Emanuel and Union Grove cemeteries in Goose Creek township to keep the registrar posted as to all deaths occurring in the immediate neighborhood, in order that none may be omitted In its borders, be sure to look up your own local registrar In case of death. By the board of health I am compelled to report all such records. It will save you time to see me Instead of Dr. Whitley to fill out the death certificate for the above named places. LO.NNIE DIXON, Registrar, Well Cnnrealml. "Your trouble." said the oDtlmlstlc friend, "may be a blessing In dis guise." "Well," sighed the afflicted one, i must say it is the cleverest guise l ever saw." dls- ANOTHER TITANIC HORROR. NINE HUNDRED DROWNED IX teltiilT OF LAND. Ciinat!!.in Pacific Liner Rammed By Collier nml Sank in Fifteen Min ute Before l'avenj;i r Could tiet on Deck. Canadian tioveninieiU Will Investigate. Rlmouski, Quebec. May 19. Sink ing In 90 feet of water within 15 min utes after being rammed amidships in the upper reaches of the St. Law rence river early today, the Canadi an Pacific liner Empress of Ireland carried down with her more than 900 of her passengers and crew. Of the 1.367 persons on board the liner, only 433 were known to have been saved, making the probable death list 934. Looming up through the river mists, as the Empress of Ireland was lying to, waiting for the fog to lift or day to break, the Danish collier Storstad crashed bow on into the side of the big Canadian liner, striking her about midway of her length and ripping her side open clear to the stern. CRASH NEAR SHORE. The crash occurred not far from the shore off Father Point, 150 miles from Quebec, which the Empress of Ireland left yesterday afternoon bound for Liverpool and 10 miles from the point on the St. Lawrence. In reality, therefore, although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming in from it, the dis aster was not one of the ocean but of the river. Unlike the Titanlc's victims, the Empress of Ireland's lost their lives within sight of shore in land-locked waters. Immediately the ship's crew recov ered from the shock of the collision and when it was seen that the liner bad received a vital blow a wireless "S. O. S." call was sounded. HURRY TO RESCUE. The hurried appeal was picked up by the Government mall tender Lady Evelyn here and the Government pilot boat Eureka at Father Point, and both set out to the rescue. So deep was the hurt of the Empress, however, and so fast the inrush of waters, that long before either of the rescue boats could reach the scene the liner had gone down. Only the floating wreckage and a few lifeboats and rafts from the steamer, buoying up, less than a third of those who had set sail in her, were to be found. The rest had sunk with the liner, had been crushed to death In the Stors tad's impact with her, or had been forced from exposure in the ice chill ed waters to loose their hold on bits of wreckage and had drowned. COLLIER DISABLED. Only a few persons were picked up by the Storstad, which was badly crippled herself, and these were broupht here by the collier as were those saved by the Eurek:i and the Lady Evelyn. Twenty-two of the rescued died from injury and ex posure. The others, most of whom had jumped Into the boats or pluo?ed In to the water from the sinking liner, scantly clad, were given such cloth ing as the town could supply, anJ later those who could travel were placed on boardfa trai and started for Quebec. Accounts agree that in the brief space of time not more than 14 minutes between the shock of the collision and the sinking of the liner there was little chance for systematic marshalling of the passengers. In deed, everything indicates that hun dreds of those on the steamer prob ably never reached the decks. Few women were among the saved, not more than a dozen, the Hsta make it appear. NO CHANCE FOR "WOMEN FIRST" 'It all happened so quickly we did not really know what was going on and nobody bad time to cry'Women first,'" one of the passengers told Captain Bellinger of the rescue boat Eureka. "The stewards did not have time to rouse the people from their berths," the survivor added. "Thor.e who heard the frenzied calls of the officers for the passengers to hurry on deck, rushed up, piled Into the boats, which were rapidly lowered and rowed away. Many who waited to dress were drowned." BOILERS EXTLODE. The horror of the Interval during the time the Empress was filling and the frightened throngs on board her were hurrying every effort to escape before she sank was added to by an explosion which quickly followed the ripping given the liner by the Stor stad's bow. According to one of the rescued, the explosion probably was caused by the water reaching the boilers, bulged the liner's sides and catapulted persons from her decks out Into the sea. The ship's heavy list as water pouring in weighed her on the side she was struck made the work of launching boats increasingly difficult and when she finally took her plunge to the bottom scores still left on her decks were carried down, only a few being able to clear her sides and find support on wreckage. From all accounts, Captain H. G. Kendall of the Empress of Ireland bore himself like a true sailor. He retained such command of the situ aton, It appears, that while the Stor stad's stem still hung in the gash it had made in the Empress' side, Cap tain Kendall begged the master of the collier to keep his propellers going so that the hole might remain plugged. The Storstan however, dropped back and the Empress filled and flounder ed. Captain Kendall stood on his bridge as the ship went down. A boat picked him up and he directed its work of saving others until the craft was loaded. The captain w;.s injured and suffered from exposure but his hurts are not dangerous. FREEZING TEMPERATURE. When day broke the rescue boats had not returned from the scene of the wreck. reople standing on shore at Fa ther Point scanning the harbor with telescopes saw the rescue steamers picking up boats in the river and pre pared to give help to the survivors. They were sorely in need of aid as most of them bad on little clothing and the temperature was near the freezing point. When they had been given attention the work of recover ing bodies was undertaken. The res cue steamers themselves had brought in nearly 50 of those and tonight af ter they had continued their search a a total of about 250 bodies had been recovered. One woman and four men still living but unconscious were picked up by the steamer during the day. Few of the bodies had been identified tonight. The wireless is given credit for sav ing many lives. Responding prompt ly to the "S. O. S." call, the steamer Eureka was on the spot approximate ly 20 minutes after the disaster and the Lady Evelyn but little later. A corrected list of passengers and crew on the Empress of Ireland, is sued officially by the Canadian Pacif ic Railroad gives the total number aboard as 1,367, divided as follows: First cabin passengers 87; second cabin passengers 153; third class pas sengers 714. TO PROVE DISASTER. Ottawa, Ont., May 2'J. That a thorough investigation murt bo made into the loss of the steamer Empress of Ireland was urged on the Canadi an Government tonight by Sir Wil fred Laurier, opposition leader in Parliament. "It is difficult to believe such an accident In the St. Lawrence so near to Father Point could not have been prevented," he declared. The Government Steamer Lady Grey, carried medical supplies, pro visions and cotors from Quebec City, is due to arrive at Father Point at midnight. An official inquiry into the circumstances connected with the accident will be begun early next week, according to Alex Johnston, deputy minister of marine. Convicts After the "Texas Kid," Beat Up Wrong Mnn in Dark. Atlanta Journal. The proud boast of S. J. McCul- lers that he was the "Texas Kid and could "lick any man In the stock ade" so exasperated twenty-one of his fellow prisoners that when the electric current that lights the stock ade failed -for fifteen minutes early Friday evening they assaulted Mc Cullers In the dark and attempted to beat hi in up. Willi difficulty the guards inter vened and in pitchy blackness fought with the maddened prisoners until they had ended the suflle. A few minutes later, when the lights Hashed on, it was found that McCullers had escaped without scratch, while J. W. Jennings, one of his assailants, had evidently been mis taken for McCullers in the darkness for he was severely bruised and torn McCullers, Jenkins and two other prisoners, Dave Ray and C. L. Maud lin, the only ones of the twenty-one whites at the stockade that could be Identiiled by the guards as engaging In the fracas, were taken to the station house and will be tried before Recorder Broyles Saturday afternoon on the charge of disorderly conduct Ray, Maudlin and Jenkins say that McCullers had been bragging that he was the ' Texas Kid" for so long that he had incurred the hatred of every inmate of the stockade and that they took the failure of the electric cur rent as an opportune moment to "shut his mouth for his good." McCullers admits that he had played the bully towards his fellows and declares with pride that he real ly is the "Texas Kid." All'INtj At. KH 1 1 1 1 1.1 TION. FDUt A. Apple Mary's Roiunnce. New York World. Apple Mary, known along the waterfront as Apple Mary, who Is 84 years old, stopped Patrolman Wilson on South street, near Broad, yesterday afternoon and asked him to arrert her. She said she was getting old and feeble and couldn't peddle apples in such hot weather. The po liceman took her before Magistrate Corrigan In the tombs police court, who, after hearing her story, asked her whether two months on Black well's Island would suit her. She said it would be just right, and she was committed. Apple Mary told the magistrate she came to America in 1846, when she was 16 years old, and obtained em ployment in a downtown hotel. Shortly afterward the third officer of an American merchantman sailed away on a voyage to China with her promised to marry him when the voy age was over. A year later she re ceived a letter from him posted in Calcutta. His ship was never heard from again. After 67 years of wait ing, Apple Mary said, she was ready to give up and let those take care of her who could do it better than she could. Scheme ami llmi l.y YM li l"n ! Nliil Hoik ft llclii the Males N. t I(ip Our Rural Life. The Secretary of Agriculture lias written to the governors of all the States asking that the-y designate the college or colleges to which the funds provided by the Smith-Lever co-op erative agricultural extension law are to go. This is the first step in putting into effect this act, approved by the President May 8th, which provides for the granting of Federal funds to the State agricultural col leges to aid in diffusing among the people useful and practical informa tion on subjects relating to agricult ure and home economics and to en courage the application cf the same. The conditions of the act are that each State must duplicate the money. about $10,000 a year, appropriated to It by the Federal Government. The money raised by the State may come from the State, county, college, lo cal authority, or individual contribu tions from within the State, for the maintenance of co-operative agricult ural extension work. The governor of each State in the interval until the legislature meets, is called upon to designate the agricultural college or colleges to which the Federal funds are to be paid. The act provides that each State in which an agricultural college is designated shall receive as a basic fund from the Federal Government f 10,000 annually with additional ap propriations from the State. The act then makes provision for addi tional appropriations to be distribu ted in the proportion which the ru ral population of all States bears to the total rural population of all the States, as determined by the next preceding census. To share in these additional funds, however, the State, either through State, county, college, or local funds, or from individual contributions from within the State, must duplicate the additional sum granted by the Federal Government for the maintenance of the co-opera- tiVe agricultural extension work pro vided for In this act. The Federal money to which each State is entitled will be paid In equal semi-annual payments on the 1st day of July and January of each year. The additional appropriation;! pro vided for in the act are as follows: Six hundred thousand dollars for the fiscal year following that In which the basic appropriation first becomes avnllabler' This $600,000 -wilt ttreff be Increased by $500,000 for each succeeding year thereafter for seven years until the total appropriation is $4,100,00 annually. This sum cud the annual basic appropriation of $180,000 will then be available etch year thereafter. The act, after providing that pend ing the inauguration of tii" new work the farm management Mid the farmers' co-operative doi.iox-iration work shall not be discontinufd, de fines the uses to which the? l'f ikril moneys shall be put as follows: That co-operative npi ic;:lr:?,il ex tension work shall conrl't of t!'.o riv ing of instruction and practical dem onstrations In agriculture and home economics to persons not attenJing or resident In said colleges in the several communities, and imparling to such persons Information on Faid subjects through field demonstra tions, publications, and otherwise; and this work shall be carried on in such manner as may be imitinily agreed upon by the Secretary of Agri culture and the State agricultv -al col leges receiving the benefit of this r.rt. The act provides that no appro priation of Federal money shall l.e applied, directly or Indirectly, to the purchase, erection, preservation or repair of any buildings, or the pur chase or rental of land, or in college course training, lectures in colleges, promoting agricultural trains, or any other purpose not specified in this act. Not more than 5 per cent, of each annual appropriation may be applied to the printing and distribution of publications, which means that 95 per cent, of the appropriation must be devoted to the giving of instruc tion and practical demonstration to persons not attending the colleges.
