LOUISIANA PUBLIC
SCHOOLS To OBSERVE
"BUY-A-BALE DAY.
State School Head Sets Oct.
2 For Great Campaign;
Movement Grows

New Orleans, La, Sept 24.-"Buy-a-
Bale Day" in all the public schools of
the cotton parishes was announced to-
day by T. H. Harris, state superinten-
dent of schools. At p. M, on Fri
day, October 2, patrons and citizens
will assemble at the school buildings
to declare their cotton, to enroll for
selling under the buy-a-bale plan, and
to make certain agreements with re-
gard to next years crop.
Superintendent Harris has requested
all superintendents and principals 20
lend every effort to make the buy-a-
bale day a success. At each of thu
meetings the cotton situation, with
special reference to the effect of the
European war, will be explained, and
the danger of bankrupting the South
will be set forth.
Pupils will be sent to the black
boards to figure out for the elders the
loss the South will suffer If it sells its
cotton at the present market. The
crop will be roughly estimated at four
teen million bales, and ten cents will
be taken as standard price in thesa
calculations.
Every farmer who attends the ex--
ercises will be asked to give a state
ment showing the number of bales he
has or will have, the number he can
hold and the number he finds it ao-
solutely necessary to sell at once
Blanks for this information will pa
prepared in advance.
These blank forms will have spaces
for name, postoffice, bales owned,
bales the farmer will hold, and the
bales the farmer wishes to sell at tea
cents pound. The school superin-
tendents will forward these blanks to
the parish buy-a-bale committees.
Farmers who enroll at the school
gatherings will be asked to sign an
agreement to the effect that they wfl
sell no cotton CHASING middling for
less than ten cents a pound. These
signed statements will be published.
A further agreement will be asked
that the cotton acreage next year be
reduced BY a certain percentage.

PLENTY SUGAR

AMERICUS NOW
CANE CROP HERE The BEST
Farmers Will Make Sugar
Well as Syrup

Americus is going to take sugar III
hers" all right this fall, but it is going
to be the pure, undulterated home
made article, instead of that brewed
from Kaiser Bills beets-the white
granulated article, which has scared in
price since Bill started his rough house
in Germany. Very soon now Sumter
farmers will begin to grind the largest
can crop ever before grown in the
county and will convert much of it into
sugar. For a number of years increas-
ing attention has been given to the
growing of cane in this section an /
this year the acreage is not only larger
than usual, but the quality of the cane
is said to be splendid. Inasmuch as the
price Of sugar has so greatly increased
during the past few weeks, the farmers
are expecting big price for their
syrup-and so far as Sumter Is con-
cerned the syrup crop is one of the
most important grown and ranks next
tc cotton and corn.

SAVANNAH MERCHANTS
AR { BOOSTING COTTON

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 24.-(Spec-

ton, at it's meeting yesterday after
noon decided to place an exhibition Of
cotton goods in their windows for one
day during this week. This is to be
done at the request of the Federation
of Women's clubs of Savannah. 1t is
hoped in this way to SHOW to the peo-
pie of Savannah just what can 3e
done in the way of a cotton display
The merchants have each decided II
give up at least one window to the dis
play and it is probable some of them
will even make it in two or more win

AMERICUS BALES
RESSED FOR
EUROPEAN MILLS
FIRST MADE HERE TO DATE
No Demand For Cotton At
Current Price

The Americus press of the Atlantic
Compress Co. was put in operation
son and handled a small lot of $50
or 200 bales for export. This is part
of shipment to be made to England,
and is the first Americus cotton to go
abroad this season. Sales here to this
date has been for American spinners,
who have purchased a few hundred
bales locally.
At this same date last year the
Americus press had been operated for
nearly month and probably 5000 or
10000 bales local cotton had been
handled there for export. But there
is difference now, more's the pity.
Yesterday, the Americas cotton mar
ket was at the low ebb of the week.
There seemed no demand whatever
for cotton, and all the buyers seemed
out of the market. Local warehouse
men sent telegraphic inquiries to mills
up the state in an effort to find pur-
chasers for cotton, but there were no
responses of favorable nature. Not a
mill seemed to need any cotton what
ever.
Eight to IA cents is the price at
which cotton of the best grades is held,
but even at that price no one seems to
want the staple.

ALLIES GAIN IN FIGHT ACROSS POND
A STARTLING STORY OF OUTRAGE
PERFORATED IN HEART OF CITY

Miss Williams had never seen either
of the men, and, could not give an ac-
curate description of them, as sne
had previously paid little attention >
their presence in the office.
The story of the alleged attack was
kept quiet, only the police and rela-
tives of the young lady having been
made acquainted Herewith.
Looking For the Assailants.
At night, however, strict vigilance
was kept upon the Office of the medi-
cine company, both front and rear.
Armed men were on guard in the
courtyard in rear of the building, and
also in a neighboring storehouse,
where a view of the rear door of the
medicine company's Office could De
had. Until midnight yesterday morn
ing eager eyes watched for the two al
legged assailants, but they came not.
Probably they discovered the reception
that awaited them.
The police worked quietly upon the
case yesterday, so quietly, in fact, that
not a dozen people in Americus had
heard of the attack upon Miss Will
liams by the two unknown miscreants.
Still Yelled in Mystery.
Miss Williams had recovered en-
tirely yesterday from the effect of her
thrilling and trying experience, and
her version Of the affair varied not al
all from that told the afternoon before.
Her Office desk is probably thirty feet
from the front entrance opening upon
Forsyth street, and full view of II
can be. had from the pavement. The
plant of the Carswell Co. is in the heart
of the city, hundreds of pedestrians
passing that way throughout the day.

There is considerable doubt as to
the exact situation in the eastern thea
ter of the war, as the representations
from Petrograd, Vienna and Berlin
persistently conflict.
A dispatch from Petrograd to a Pa

Allies Meet With Stiff Resistance From Kaisers Men, Ger
man Capital Startled By Posters Demanding That War Be
Ended. People Tired of Bloody Conflict

PARIS, Sept. 24.-(Special. 1.-THE
allies have advanced considerably
along their western wing, occupying
the town of Peronne despite desperate
resistance, according to the official an
nouncement of the French war depart
ment at 2:55 o'clock this afternoon.
At the eastern end of the battle line
in France there has been heavy fight
ing on the river Meuse, the allies al
ternately advancing and retiring. The
following official announcement was
made in Paris late today:
First. On our left wing, between
the river Somme and the river Disc,
our troops have advanced in the direc-
ton of Roye. A detachment occupied
-Peronne and held this position in spite
of spirited attack on the part of the
enemy.
Between the river Disc and the
river Aisne the enemy continues to
maintain important bodies of troops,
well entrenched. We have made a
slight advance to the northwest of
Berry-Au-Bac.
Second. On the center between
Rheims and the Argonne district, the
situation shows no change. To the
east of the Argonne and on the heigh IS
of the Meuse the enemy has continued
his attacks, delivering them with es-
pecial violence. The fighting contio-
ues, accompanied by alternate re-
tirements at certain points with ad-
advances at others.
ION the right wing there has been
no change of importance.
In the region of Nancy and in the
Vosges certain detachments of the
enemy have again attempted to enter
upon French soil, driving back the
light covering bodies of our troops, but
their offensive was soon stopped.
in Galicia, the Russians, having
taken possession of Jaroslau are
completely investing Przemysl ald
continuing their offensive movement en-
Cracow."

terview considered particularly o.
jectionable by the administration, said
the sending of American warships 20
Turkey in connection with the report
of uprisings against Christians would
lead to serious situation.
At the same time he said that while
massacres had previously occurred in
Turkey, they were the same acts as
any people might commit under provo
cation. By way OF illustration he re-
minded the American people of lynch
ings of negroes and the water
cures" in the Philippines.
The ambassador later explained to
administration officials personally
and by letter. The president directed
Mr.. Bryan to say in answer that the
statements made by the ambassador
were Objectionable to the American
government, and but for the fact that
a tense situation existed in Turkey,
which he did not wish to aggravate,
by the ambassador might be SUBJ
ject for discussion with the Ottoman
government.
The president asked whether the
ambassador cared to make any ex-
preston and today's announcement
that he did not wish to alter his view
in any way and would leave in fort
night, was the ENJOYS reply.

RUSSIANS MEETING WITH
GREAT SUCCESS IN EAST

LONDON, Sept. 24.-(Special) =
While the virtual deadlock between
the armies of the allies and Germany
in the western war area continues,
from the east comes news which here
is taken to show that Russia has al
most completed the first stage OF
what may be considered one of the
most colossal operations ever under
taken by military power.
The fall of the Austrian fortress o.
Jaroslau virtually completes the il
vestment of Przemysl, so far as lin IS
of communication are concerned.
Even the continued occupation Of
Cracow by Austrian and German
forces has not aided in that junctioa
of Austrian and German armies
which is necessary to keep Russia
from overrunning Galicia and pushing
the armies of Austria back to the
ridge of the Carpathians.
By her conquests in Galicia, Russia
now controls the greatest supply Ct
gasoline in Europe. This product is
of utmost Importance to Russia be-
cause of her necessity for motor
transportation.

ALLIES CLAIM SUCCESSES:
GERMANS SAY DIFFERENT

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-(Special) -
Further success of the armies of the
allies, which are attempting to turn
the German right wing, are claimed
in an official statement issued at Paris
late this afternoon. 1t is stated that
the allies western wing has advanced
considerably and Perronne has been
occupied, after desperate resistance.
Peronne is 75 miles north of Paris and
25 miles north of Lassigny, near W, ere
the advance by the allies was an-

Alleged Perpetrators OF Attack

the statement, it is said, that she had
gone away for good and would not re-

Found Hat and Coat.
AS DR.. Carswell read the mystify-
ing note, he observed Miss Williama'
hat and coat upon chair. Thinking
it remarkable that she would leave
without these articles, he instituted a
search of the Office. Looking into Il
dark closet beneath the stairway,
where books and files are stored, h4
was astonished to find Miss Williams
there, it is said, bound hand and foot
and unable to move a muscle or to
speak above a whisper.
The young lady had been effectually
gagged, as we'll as manacled with stoGt
cords. DR.. Carswell quickly released
the badly frightened young lady, who,
upon regaining her composure, told d
most remarkable story of having been
attacked by two Williams.
She Describes AssaiIants.
While employed at her desk, Miss
Williams is quoted as saying, white
man and heavily built negro entered.
Suspecting no trouble, she paid little
attention to them when, suddenly, BON
seized and gagged her. Dragging her
towards the stairway closet the men,
she said, thrust her within and clos
ed the door. One of the men then sad
to the other: 1--WE will come back D..
midnight and take her away" Both,
it is presumed, then left the building.
