CLEARED UP
Columbia Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine
But Columbia's pertinent question
has always been Has anyone here
IN Columbia been cured?' The word
OF stranger living . hundred miles
away may be true, but 1t cannot have
the same weight with Us as the word
Of our own citizens, whom We know
and respect, and whose evidence We
can 30 easily prove.

Says Paris Is Empty and Only Animation Is About Railroad StatiOns-Attack of Austrians on Lublin Continues

London, September 6.--(9:25 p. m.) The following German official state ment was received tonight by the Marconi company:
 The German army administration reports that in the west the allied troops are in retreat between Paris and Verdun and that the German troops are pursuing them. Paris is empty and the only scene of animation there is around the railway stations which are filled with thousands of fugitives. London newspapers do not consider that Paris will defend itself to the utmost.
 Tn the eastern theatre of war the Austrian attack on Lublin continues and the armies commanded by Generals Dank and Auffenberg still are engaged in dis persing the enemy so as to obtain the tories at Krasnik and zamoso.
 Those victories, which were achieved after three days of bitter fighting, re- suited in the flight of the enemy The Russian advance on Lemberg has been halted.

COTTON SITUATION
 ID BE DISCUSSED Farmers and Merchants of Calhoun County to Meet
 Tuesday

Anniston, September 6.--(Special) )-A large number of the most prominent farmers and country merchants in the county of Calhoun are expected to be in this city on next Tuesday to appear before the board of Calhoun road and revenue commissioners to make protest against the enforcement at this time of the solvent credits tax, and Captain A. W. Bell, one of the foremost agricultur- ists of the Anniston district, has taken advantage of the occasion to call meet Ing of the farmers and business men for the purpose of discussing the situation as regards the 1914 cotton crop.
 Captain Bell is very enthusiastic over the individual plan of taking care of the crop. He estimates that the people of Calhoun can protect the business situ- ation in this county if they will stand to :. gether and come to the assistance of the farmer in this way
 Captain Bell has agreed to take sev- eral bales of cotton himself at cents, -or to lend money on the staple at the same price. He says. taking the most pessimistic view of the case, that even bale, it would be good business for the merchants, business men and clerks to stand the loss of $l5 per bale. Otherwise in the event the cotton Is not put on tho market, he says general business will suffer materially and many clerks will have to be turned loose for lack of trade Hence, he ayers, very many with $40 or $50 to spare should take at least one bale and have it stored
 Some claim that this plan will not solve the problem. as it will not eliminate s surplus next year. As a consequence, Captain Bell wants every business man who has intelligent ideas on this subject to appear at the meeting here Tuesday and advance what he regards as the best plan of meeting the crisis.
