pAris. Nov 3-AcCording to the OFF,
cial reports the Germans have been
thoroughly defeated at the River User

doning ground long and bitterly con-
tested and admitting their inability to

the region Of Ypres, but the lighting
has been less violent and the allies,
slowly and steadily pushing forward
have retaken positions lost in previous

that the allied armies have made dis
tinct progress in driving a wedge be-
tween the German armies in Belgium
and the German armies in France.
Particularly hard lighting in the
region northeast OF scissors and along
the Aisne indicates that the Germans

will be given Of the. movement OF Ger

by this movement portion OF the
British army has been enabled TO Join

What was implied in the actual with
drawal from contact with the enemy
along the Aisne will b. appreciated when
the conditions under which we were then
situated are recalled. In places the two
lines were not a hundred yards apart.
and for us no movement was possible dur
ing the daylight
I'm soma Of the trenches which were
under an enflade rre our men had to
sit all day long close under the traverses
as are called those mounds OF earth
which stretch like partitions at intervals
across a trench so as to give protection
from lateral fire
Even when there was cover such as
that afforded by depressons or sunken
roads on n hillside below and behind our
firing line any attempt was met by fierce
bursts OF machine gun and shell hre.
The men In the firing line were on
duty for twenty-four hours at a time and
brought rations and water with them when
they came on duty, for none could be sent
up to them during the day, Even the
wounded could not be removed until
dark. A preliminary retirement OF the
units was therefore carried out gradually
under cover OF darkness.
That the Germans only once opened
Are upon them while 30 engaged was due
10 the care with which the operation was
conducted, and also probably to the fact
that the enemy was 40 accustomed To the
recurrence of sounds made by the artillery
fire OF men In the nring line and by the
movement of supply trains below that they
were misled as to what actually was TAX
ing place.
What the operation amounted to on our
part was the evacuation OF the trenches

the French, who had to take our place In

difficulties the whole strategic operation

loss and practically without hitch.

BONDS CAd BE SOLD.
To The General Assembly:

10 line General Assembly:
It's said the State bonds, the
issuance of which you are at
present considering. can not be
sold for anything like par.
This is correct only in so far
as the question of selling them
means the marketing of thssssue
in the ordinary way-that is,
through brokers in New York
or elsewhere for cash.
They can, however, be ab
sorbed by our people; and, if
they are issued, they will un-
doubtedly be absorbed by them
at par.
There is not a merchant in
South Carolina who will not
gladly accept them in payment
of debts due him by the farmer
ct 100 cents on the dollar.
There is due my Co. by high
class: well rated firms in this
State approximately $4,000.
These merchants are perfectly
good. They have plenty Of prop
erty behind their debts. but they
can't pay US at tt.is time, because

If the farmer can get bonds for
his cotton he can pay the mer-
chant with them and the mer.
chant can pay US. My company
will gladly accept these bonds
at par for every dollar that is
due US.
I am satisfied that every other
manufacturer, every fertilizer
company and every merchant
will be glad to do the same thing
1T is nonsense to say that they
will not do it.
The merchant can use the
bonds in the bank to pay what
he owes, and the bank in it's
turn can use them with the

Charleston has no cotton inter

without the slightest trouble.
If this bond bill is properly
safeguarded I cannot see where
the State will run the slightest
risk in exchanging bonds for
cotton, basis mlddling, at from
s to 9 cents per pound, as that is
what it means. The cotton can
be held until the price advances.
and the price will certainly ad-
vance within a year or two.
Even if it does not advance and
the cotton has to be sold at
loss, it will not hurt the indi-
vidual taxpayer appreciably. On
the other hand the good to
everybody at a time when help
is badly needed will more than

sustained, two years hence.
II the general assembly will
pass This bill, and the cotton
acreage reduction bill, other
States will follow, and we will
have fairly good times. Il moth
ing is done, hard times and
bankruptcy will surely fellow.
I congratulate the senate on
having the courage of its con-
victions. / believe the house Of
representatives is going to con-
cur, and the people can be de-
pended upon to vote for she
measure. 1t is the only thing
that can save the situation; and
as I see it, the State has practi-
cally no risk, and while the
bonds can not be sold through
the ordinary channels at par, yet
they can and will be absorbed
by the people, as outlined above
and the results will be the same.
