Many Cases of Theft From Back
Furrhes Are Reported by Residents
of East Salem.
ONE MAN LOSES HALF BARREL
OF AMBER FLUID IN NIGHT.
Youngsters are Believed to be Drinking
Both Beer and Milk and House
holders Are Indignant.

Juvenile vandalism is rampant out
along Seventeenth street and other Sec
tions Of East Salem, according to re
ports received at this office yesterday
evening from residents in that part
of Salem. Milk bottles by the score
have been stolen, the contents drunk
and the containers thrown either in tho
ahe street or in the road by the thieves.
''It is an outrage upon society that
these youngsters should be allowed to
bo out at nights and carry on SO dis
gracefully, y stated F. G. Dekebach, one
Of the victims, yesterday. He declares
that the thieving of milk is being car.
Sied on by band Of Young hoOdlums
and that something should be done to
stop tho work in the interest of both
tho citizens at large and the boys d.
FeetIy responsible.
Steal Beer
If it be so that the juvenile class is
responsible for the many robberies
which have occurred Of late, there is
more than one minor who has been
drinking beer within the past week.
Several dozen bottle Of beer have been
stolen off the back porches OF resi-
denees along East Court street Of late
and ono man lost half barrel at one
tine tho other night.
Several attempts to lay traps for the
guilty parties have been made but were
Of no use, and the police have as yet
bcen unable to cope with the situation.
In some instances the thieves merely
drank the cream off tho bottles and
left the remainder on the porches while
in most cases they carried the whole
thing away and after emptying the
bslale, threw it into the gutter.
MILK men also report that much steal
ing Of milk is being carried on hero.
One man states that he has lost over
40 bottles during the past three days
while another declares that he spent
one whole day hunting lost bottles and
fOnnd lS lying around in the streets
which bore his signature.
Parents Responsible.
The general concenms of opinion is
thnt The parents of certain number
Of boys are entirely responsible for the
thefts by allowing their children TO
roam about the town after night.
Tho idea is advanced that maybe
Older people may be stealing milk and
beer bnt from the fact that all signs
left are those of careless youngsters
Il is thought that grown men are not
in the game.

SUMTER'S FIELDS
LIKE SNOWBANKS;
PICKERS NEEDED
EVERY FIELD is NOW WHITE
TWO.ThirdS Of The Entire
Crop Open

Americas is the centrepiece just
now in the greatest field of white,
perhaps, ever seen here at this sea-
son. Over miles of undulating terri
tory this snowy mantle is spread, with
but few "fecks of black" breaking
the monotony. For the fields are
white unto the harvest, while the la
borers are few. Thousands of bales
of cotton open in every district of
Sumter county-probably 10000 bales
open in the fields today and in need
of immediate attention.
Never before has the cotton crop
matured so early, and it really seems
that practically rs to so per cent. of
it is open already.
Upon every highway leading out of
Americas there are vast stretches OF
white cotton, every stalk carrying its
full wealth of open bolls. Usually at
this early stage only the bottom bolls
or, at best, near the center have OPP
ened, but this year it is different
From top to bottom of the heavily
laden stalks the white cotton hangs
in the bolls, and a conservative esti-
mate places three-fourths of the Sum
ter county crop open already.
In some localities cotton pickers in
sufficient numbers are busy. in the
fields, while in other localities, where
labor is less abundant, not boil has
been picked. In the meantime the
open cotton deteriorates in quality.
That farmers are not rushing Their
bales altogether to market, under
present conditions, is evidenced in the

JAPAN TO BUY 100000
COTTON BALES FROM j. s.
AT TEN CENTS A POUND

According to a news story published
in the New York World, the Japanese
government, through it's banking agen-
cies, is reported to be in the market
for 100000 bales of cotton, aggregat-
ing in value about $1OO,OO0,OO0, during
this fall and winter. She is willing to
gay, it is said, 1-2 cents or more.
Normally Japan buys about 100000
bales of American cotton annually and
the remaining 100000 bales from
other countries, principally Egypt, but
because of the war in Europe its nor
NAL sources Of supply is cut off.
In support of the report that japan
has bought cotton in America, it has
been ascertained that sixty and ninety
day cotton bills in yen have appeared
in New York.

PRES .A.W. SMITH
GIVES VIEWS UPON
COTTON SITUATION
Retire Large Part Of Crop
And Use Rigid Economy

Times-Recorder: Fearing some mis-
apprehension may arise from your too
complimentary article, l state that in
going to New York l had two objects
in view. First. To arrange with our
correspondents as to the banks af-
fairs, as all others are necessitated to
do. Second. To do something outside
of regular bank transactions to re-
lieve our country customers in the
present deplorable cotton situation.
To do that required more than the
mere selling of one, three or five
thousand bales of cotton at present
prices, which are ruinous to pro-
ducers.
My object was to secure reasona-
Bile advance, and at the same time re-
tire from the market as much of the
present crop as possible, and 1 feel
that if others will act in accord and
retire proportional quantities, the
remainder will be sold at once, which
will afford relief to all.
Do not create the idea that money
is either plentiful or easy to get in
the North and East, for such is net
the fact, and the one idea that our
people here should realize, is that on
ly by strictest economy in all lines
can disaster be averted, should war
continue a year or more, as now seems
probable.
If, throughout the South, less talk
and more action along the line of get
ting advances on cotton to be held six
months and more be taken, relief to
farmers will be secured by fifty per
cent. increase in value of sales of re-
mainder of crop. American National
Bank of Macon, is one wise Bank.
Yours truly,

numerous piles of cotton bales at
many farm houses, where it is piled
up around the gin, or in the front
yard, unprotected from the weather.
This is a bad idea as, while there Is
no sale here for cotton, the bales
should either be brought to the ware
houses or put under shelter at home,
the former suggestion being the bet
ter one.
Americas warehouses now contain
probably 1000 bales cotton, for which
there is little demand, if any at all,
and only then at the ridiculous price
of I IL cents, or $12 per bale less
than the actual cost of production.
