sistance was offered. Prevsa was
suffering the effects Of the blockade
and famine threatened the town.
Prior to the capture Of this place a
Greek detachment occupied Nicopolis,
commanding position a short dis
tance away. The Greeks blew up the
turkish battery on the heights where
the Turks were entrenched. The
Turks and Bashi-Basouks took to
flight, but 45O of them were captur-
ed.
A Turkish torpedo boat in the Gulf
Of Arta was sheled and burned.
The Turkish forces are concentrate
ing at Janina, although they still hold
fort Pontopigadia, strongly fortified
heights The Janina army numbers
10000 with strong positions, but all
communications with the Monastir
| army, upon which it is dependent, has
been cut.
Gen. RicciOtti Garibald, son Of the
Italian patriot, has reached Patras
and is expected to arrive here tomor-
row. His corps number 5000 for
eigners and Greeks. He will take the
field at the earliest posi- , moment.

"SOLID SOUTH" is SOLID,

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 3.-Reports from
various campaign headquarters
throughout the Southern states today
indicate that the so-called Solid
South" will cast it's customary Demo-
cratic majority in the presidential
election Tuesday. Final appeals are
being made to the Democrats, Pro-
gressives and Republicans and a rec
ord vote everywhere is predicted.
The only feature Of any otherwise
apathetic campaign has been the in
creased activity OF the Progressive
and Socialist parties. In Tennessee,
Georgia, South Carolina and Florida
;he Socialists have been unusually ac-
tive and claims are made that they
viii more than double the Socialist
vote cast in the last presidential cleo
ton.
The Progressive activity has been
noted throughout the South and
leaders of that party, while not MAX
ing claims OF carrying any State, de-
clare they will make a respectable
showing.

L. VI. Green OF BishOpville Has Been
Successful I'm Experiment I'm Cross
Ing Varieties.

Bishopville. Nov. 2.-As the whole
Pee Dee section OF South Carolina is
so enthusiastically interested in long
staple cotton anything concerning it's
development, especially in the breed
ing Of new varieties. is Of interest.
The states correspondent at this place
interviewed T. NJ. Green of this city
In regard to new variety which he
has had bred.
Mr.. Green has for a number of
years been a large buyer Of staple cot
tons and has encouraged the planting
OF this cotton. He thinks the future
of this industry depends upon better
selection of seed. the growing Of
staples long enough for the New Eng
land trade.
And with this in view he has, dur
ing the past year, crossed the regular
sea island cotton with a strong, hardy
variety Of the upland staple and the
result has been more than gratifying.
The new variety from this cross
breeding is a beautiful, smooth piece
OF cotton, very fine and silky. re-
sembling the finest Egyptian cotton in
texture. and pulling rs inches in
staple.
When 1t is known that the average
staple cotton in this state pulls only
1 Ia inches in length, the length Of
this particular cotton Is phenomenal
sample Of this cotton has been
submitted to one Of the leading ex-
perts Of this countrv. who pronounced
1t l rs cotton. and praised it very
highly. He said that a crop Of it would
sell great deal higher than the up
land staple
With 3-S inch cotton selling for
Is to 10 cents the probable value OF
this cotton would be about &c cents a
pound.
Mr.. Green intends to experiment
further with this seed and by next
season. the spring Of 1914. will prob
ably be able to give 1t to the trade.
According to the custom OF breeders
Of new varieties Of cotton Of naming
their production. Mr.. Green has
named this new cotton Green special
and much is expected Of this new va
riety.

The state administration came in
for criticism by John Luchsinger of
Monroe, past grand master. because
the tax commission has instructed as
SCISSORS to tax lodges which are held
to be not strictly benevolent in their
purposes. He declared this was new
rule but some of the members said
their lodges had been taxed prior to
tbs time. The matter attracted so
much attention that a number of the
delegates called upon the tax commits
sion to ask if any new rulings regard
ing lodges had been made.
