The new structure will be 130 feet by 50 feet and will be To- cated south of the present building.

WINTHROP STUDENTS BUY COT.

College Girls Raise Fund to JOil

Rock Hill, Sept. 30.-The students
Of Winthrop college have joined the
buy a bale movement and are raising
fund to be invested in cotton. 1t is
probable that enough money to buy
several bales will be collected among
the students. Distress cotton will
be bought at 10 cents per pound with
whatever amount Of money is secur-
ed. A large number of the students
at Winthrop are daughters Of farm
ers and they have first hand knowl-
edge Of conditions prevailing in the
country and are fully aware Of the
menace Of low priced cotton to the
progress and prosperity Of the State.
The entire student body, however, is
in thorough sympathy with the buy
a-bale movement and with every ef-
fort being made to enable the grow
ers to get fair price for the staple.

Passes Resolution to This Effect.

Columbia, Sept. 29.-The executive
committee of the State Fair Associa-
tion at a meeting today resolved to
not pay any premiums at the COM
ing Fair on any exhibits except farm
products, this being occasioned by the
conditions brought about by the Eu-

and are confident that the Fair will be
a success notwithstanding the condi-

GRAIN ELEVATOR MOVEMENT.

To many people IL may appear, In
View OF the existing financial string
ency. a most inopportune time to at
tempt the organization Of a $4,000
corporation to establish grain eleva-
tor and a milling plant to manufac-
ture flour and meal. but it is in times
Of stress that extraordinary efforts
must be made to retrieve a desper-
ate situation. The only ray of hope
for tho farming and business inter-
ests In the present crisis. is the Gre
alton Of q market for the grain that
the farmers may produce In place Of
cotton. This market must be created
and sustained by local effort, for no
outside assistance Is to be expected or
hoped for. II the people Of Sumter
county do not pool their resources and
by resorting to self-help In this time
OF need. they will be forced to the
realisation next spring and summer
that the curtailment Of the cotton
acreage and the increase Of the grain
crop has not solved the problem.
The essence of the present difficulty is
the lack OF market for cotton, but
IL no facilities are provided locally to
handle and market grain the harvest
next spring will bring no relief. There
is strong demand for grain and
grain products at higher prices than
have prevailed for years and this de-
mand is reasonably certain to continue
into and beyond the next harvest sea-
son, but II there are no grain buy
srs on the Sumter market and no IA
cilities for storing and shipping grain
or manufacturing it into q merchant
able product the producers of grain
will be unable to convert their crops
into cash. The result will be that
there will be an unInarketable surplus
Of grain in the hands Of farmers who
will be no better able to pay their
debts and buy goods from the mer-
chants than they now are with an un-
marketable crop of cotton on their
hands. A market for grain Is an alb
solute necessity for Sumter and the
failure to provide for handling the
crop Of oats and wheat that will be
planted this fall means harder times
and greater depression In all lines Of
business. The merchants and bank
ers will feel the effects just as keenly
and more quickly than the farmer,
therefore the conclusion Is inevitable
that the farmers Of the county and
the business men Of the town will be
forced as matter of seif-preservation
To get together and make the grain
elevator enterprise a success.

RAILWAYS MAKE
APPEAL TO WILSON
THEY ASK PRESIDENT TO DEVISE
SOME MEANS TO TIDE THEM
OVER DIFFICULTIES.
President Considers Several plans
and Railways Are Hopeful That
Good Results Will Follow.

Washington, Sept. g. President
Wilson began consideration tonight of
an appeal laid before him today by Il
committee OF railroad executives rep.
resenting every large railroad in the
country. He was asked to aid the
railroads in tiding over financial diff
ticulties arising from the war in Eu-
rope. No specific plan was presented.
The railroad men were hopeful
after the conference that Mr.. Wilson,
through a public letter or Otherwise,
might show that he believed the rail-
roads should be relieved OF some bur.
dens. They also believed they had
laid the ground work for considara-
ton OF specific requests to be made
later. These requests were under
stood to include a postponement of
consideration of the railway securi-
ties bill now pending In congress, leg
islation allowing the interstate com
merce commission to take general
conditions into consideration in pass
ing on petitions for rate increases
and the reopening of the recent ad.
vance freight rate case.
After the conference the railroad
executives met Commissioners Glenn
ents, McChord, Clark and Daniels of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A copy Of an address presented to the
president was laid before the commits
siOners and the general railroad sit
uation, as altered by events since the
outbreak OF the European war, was
explained. The railroad executives
said they were ready at any time to
advise with the commission as to any
practical means of affording relief to
which the roads might be entitled and
which the commission could lawfully
grant.
At the white house tonight it was
said the president would give careful
consideration to the problem. He in
dictated his sympathy with the appeal
of the railroads but made no prom

1t is not known what reply Presi-
dent wilson will make but the atti-
tude of the washington government
toward protests OF tais kind in the
present war heretofore has been one Of
a neutral character
The use OF dumdum bullets and the
unnecessary destruction of property
are prohibited by articles Of the
Hague convention. The only penalty
for violating them is the imposition
of an indemnity at the end of the war
upon the countries guilty Of such
violations. Beligercuts therefore are

At the French embassy denial not

facturer in France was able TO make
such bullets.

they have taken action relative to
pressing matters, but they prefer that
the entire organization shall consider
