One Steamer Rammed by Another.

New York, Oct. 15.-The steamer
Metapan. coming in from Colon,
foundered in the lower harbor late
to-day, after collision with the
freighter Iowan, which was leaving
port for San Francisco. All the Met
apan's IT passengers and the crew
were rescued Less damage was
sustained by the Iowan, which stood
by while her. boats took aboard two
Of the Metapan's passengers. The
remainder were transferred to rescu-
ing craft and landed in New York
tonight
At a late hour the freighter re-
manned at anchor near the scene Of
the collision. Passengers on the
Metapan said her bow was badly
twisted, but the exact damage could
not be learned. The Metapan is q
United Fruit Company steamer and
sailed from Colon on October 8 for

Get g 10-cent box now.


That awful sourness, belching of
acid and foul gases; that pain in the
pit OF the stomach, the heartburn,
nervousness, nausea, bloating after
eating, dizziness and sick headache,
means a disordered stomach, which
cannot be regulated until you remove
the cause. 1t isn't your stomach's
fault. Your stomach Is as good as
any.
Try Cascarets; they Immediately
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter and poison from the
bowels. Then your stomach trouble
Is ended. A Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning--a 10

keep your stomach sweet; liver and

We Are Bum Traders.
(Gaffney Ledger


AS producers and builders the
American people EXCEL all previous
civilization and we are present-day
marvel in business efficiency, but in
dealing with foreign countries we
are a sorry lot Of traders. Ever since
William Penn traded with the In
dians a handful of trinkets for what
is now the State Of Pennsylvania the
American people have been selling
their birthright to foreigners for a
mess Of pottage, SO to speak.
We export over 100000, 900 of
cattle and their products per an
mum, which feeds the nations OF Eu-
rope; and our American heiresses
spend a similar sum in buying and
maintaining counts, dukes and titled
peerages. These foreign noblemen
are, as a rule, absolutely wort HESS
in fact become a perpetual Inability
for it costs more money to operate
and keep them in repair than il does
to run our cotton mills. EurOpean
royalty puts the black sheep of its
families on the block and our rich
American girls buy them and we
virtually exchange railroads, wheat
fields and millions Of dollars worth
OF products OF farm, mine and fac
tory for titled paupers who could not
be resold for any sum. 1t does not
require foreign treaties, a fleet OF
war vessels or tariff revision to ston
this enormous loss. 1t needs onlv
common sense in the homes OF the
rich.
We export SIS, 100000 of lumber
and timber, and American tourists
spend a similar amount in motoring
over Europe and sightseeing IN for
eign lands. although the most on
chanting scenes Of the world are on
the American continent.

The European War Day by Day.

The Russians at present are making
no effort to advance further than the
boundary Of East Prussia. Here the
| lighting has ceased, while along The
southern limits of East Prussia there
are few troops Of either army until

| the Germans are endeavOring to ad-
vance along the left bank of this
stream to avoid the strong fortress
of Georgievsk on the right bank.
Russian experts believe the Ger
mans plan to attempt to carry the
war into East Galicia and the Lom-
berg district. This is indicated by
the German abandonment of the at
tempt to advance eastward into Rus
sia in favor Of the project OF striking
southward.

we kept up the "buy-a-bale" move
ment until the new ST. Louis propo-
sition was placed before us, which is
to finance about five million bales of
cotton with a subscription of one
hundred and fifty millions ($150,-
0OO,O0O).
''The Majestic Manufacturing
Company has subscribed 100000 to
this proposition.
''Twenty-four other merchants and
manufacturers Of st. Louis have sub
scribed 100000 each, making a to-
tai Of 900. Our banks sub
scribed five millions, making $780,
600. The proposition is now in
New York, and the chances are that
J. p. Morgan & Co., with others, will
underwrite all that is not taken by
other cities.
eve think this is much more de-
sirable than the "buy-a-bale" move
ment. What do you think about it?

ed by October 21st.

front Of 800 miles, have reached
their height, but the public is allow
ed only an occasional glance Of their

at variance.
From the French report it appears
that the western battle is going

troops Of the allies, the Germans,
who started to advance on Calais
and other French coast ports, have
been forced to cvacuate the LETT

siderable distance east Of the points
their advance guards reached last

PetrOgrad, Russia, Oct. ID
Fighting between German and Rus
sian troops is going on within eight
miles OF Warsaw, Russian Poland.
The official decision to defend the
city Of Warsaw is regarded here as
important in two ways. First, it in
dicates that the Germans have been
thwarted in their attempts to
straighten their front along north
and south line so that it would ex-
tend from Ostrolenka, GO miles
northeast Of Warsaw, through San.
domir into Galacia; and, second, the
Germans have been obstructed in
their plan to use Warsaw as winter
quarters.

With the exception OF an engage

Russian left wing is reported as hav
ing repulsed the advancing Austri
ans and Germans, activity at Other
points on the line appears to have

WAR STILLS FRENCH sPINDLEs
Cnited States Consuls Cable Reports
or Foreign Mills.

Textile operators in South Carolina
are showing much interest in dis
patches from American consular Of
ficers abroad regarding the effect of
the European-war upon English and
continental mills. A. NJ. Thackarn,
consul general of the United States
at Paris, cables as follows:
French cotton textile industry
(7,400.000 spindles) is chiefly locat-
ed in Vosges district around Lille,
and, to a smaller extent, in Nor
mandy. Vosges factories have already
largely ceased working; Epinal stop
ped Immediately: similar action in
other large fortified cotton manufac-
turing cities. Work in nonfortified
towns and villages is seriously affect
ed for Vosges and eastern France;
only 25 per cent. of spindles running.
Further decrease is probable and re-
sumption of work is doubtful until
after declaration of peace. In dis
tricts alcrg Belgian frontier work in
large fortified towns is less complete
ly stopped than in Vosges, but sue
cessful advances of German army via
Belgium would result in similar ac-
ton and conditions in fortified towns.
Actually cotton textile industry IN
northeastern districts is operating
about half-producing capacity. Most
of the output is for the army.
'Most Roubaix district mills are
running half. owing to lack of work
men, raw material and money. Out
put is already less than half, with
prospect during the war of quarter
normal production resuming. French
cotton textile production is now 20
to 35 per cent capacity, with pros
poets of further reduction and COM
plete stoppage, If war is prolonged.
improved conditions are unlikely
within six months. therefore prolong-
ed reduction of European consump-
tion of raw cotton is probable
(One-ffth of the French spindle
age is normally employed on Egyp-
tian cotton and the balance on Amer

PALMETTO SEA ISLAND Is BEST.
High Grades the Result of Care in
Seed Selection.

'The best sea island cotton pro-
duced in the United States is grown
on the islands off the coast Of South
Carolina by planters who have, for
many years, paid the most careful at
tention to seed selection says a bull
letin of the United States census bu-
reeu, received in Columbia Thursday.
1.-The fiber produced is long and fine,
and it is harvested and handled with
such care that the cotton commands
very high price.
Growers who raise sea island cot
ton in the interior must secure new
seed from the coast region frequently
in order to preserve the quality of the
fiber, which degenerates rapidly into
upland fiber when grown away from
the coast. Aside from the difficulties
presented by soil and climatic condl-
tions, there are obstacles in the way
of extending this culture beyond the
present limits.
Among these are: CD Lackof
proper experience in new territory in
cultivating. harvestin gand handling;
(2) objection to the small and par
tiallv closed sea island bolls on the
part of pickers accustomed to upland
varieties, Notwithstanding the fact
that they receive more for picking
sea island cotton than for picking
upland cotton: CD the necessity of
using roller gins for sea island cot
ton. since saws injure the fiber: and
(4 the disadvantage of selling sea
island cotton in a market where the
BUYERS are unaccustomed to it.
"The average quantity Of sea is
land cotton produced each year is
equivalent to about $4,000 bales of
500 pounds each. Of this amount,
about $4,000 bales are exported and
$4,000 bales are consumed in this
country.
"The sea island cotton now being
grown in the West Indies is said to
surpass the average American pro-
duct, and competes with the grown
in South Carolina rather than with
the less valuable varieties grown in
Florida and Georgia: however. the
