SEDALIA

Sedalia, S. c., Oct. 15.-Mr. Editor:
! am poor country clodhopper and
have never attempted to get into
print before, and it is with trepidation
that | presume to do so now, especial
ly when so many wise heads and wise
acres are filling the papers with so
many schemes to advance the price of
cotton. But 1T does seem to me that
of all the foolish and silly advice Civ
en- so far, and to my great surprise,
| see that President Stackhouse Gil.
dorses it, is the total elimination of
cotton for 1915. He further says the
opponents of the law use no argument
showing any other method. Now,
while | have no specific method to
suggest nor advice to give, it does
strike me that the plan suggested
would be ruinouS to the average
farmer and practically all the tenants
of the cotton growing States, proviG
ed the law became general. Why?
|. Because practically ali the cotton
of the 1914 crop will be out of the
hands of the farmer who made it be-
fore next fall, when the price will
soar to perhaps ID or 20 cents, o.
even higher-for the mills will have
to have it and there being no more in
sight until the fall of 1916, they will
have to pay almost any price for it.
Consequently it will benefit only those
who are able to hold it, principally
spectators and be of course no bcne-
fit to the planter whom the law is in
tended to relieve. In the second place
there are thousands who could not
possibly get advances to make crop
at ali without growing some cotton
with which to pay for the advances
and even if they could make an all
grain crop what would be the conSe-
quences. Why, next fall everyb,>.
would have lot of stuff on hand and
no demand or market for it. For
there are hundreds, yes, thousands, in
the State under such conditions and
circumstances. Could not buy a PIC
or calf to feed it to, besides the very
poor fellow who is now forced to sell
his cotton for much less than it cost
him to produce it, will haze to pay for
the shirt that goes on his back, made
from the 20 cents cotton above met
toned. No, ! cannot iu:ly agree with
President Stackhouse and others who
advise total elimination, but the lest
thing to do it to cat her down Co half
or even to Onc-third and make all sup
plies possible for man and beast, aGd
by all means keep a good garden.

CATTLE TRAIN LOAD
OF INSANE in FLIGHT
Part of Great Multitude
of BelgianS Taking
Refuge in Holland.

Rosendaal, Oct. 19.-The stream Of
Belgian refugees, an almost endless
procession of panic-stricken people,
which has been passing without re-
straint the little red, white and blue
posts marking the border Of the peace
full Kingdom of the Netherlands, at
last is growing less turbulent. Probably
100000 have come rushing into Hol-
land since Antwerp fell.
Rosendaal had too few ambulance
to accommodate the hundreds Of insane
and those suffering from incurable dis
eases who had been released pell-mell
from Antwerp institutions and crowded
into these trains. One train of eight
cattle cars contained only former IL
mates Of asylums for the insane. They
were treated as far as possible in the
neighboring Dutch institutions.
The little town of Esschen. where
the daZed Belgians took weeping
farewell of their own country, quadru-
pied in population in a week. The four
bakeshops were besieged by the starv-
ing fugitives. The dilapidated border
station, where thousands slept, was in
the hands of German sailors, who were
selling tickets for trains drawn by Bel
gian locomotives, manned by engineers
of the German navy and by sailors
big fellows from the harbOrs of Ham
burg and Bremen. The Germans have
been endeavoring 10 induce the refu-
gees TO return TO their homes and re-
sumo their vocations. Esschen was
the centre Of the panic which followed
Antwerp's fall
A great majority OF the residents OF
Antwerp had been told repeatedly that
that their city was the strongest fort
ress in Europe. They remained peace
ably in their homes, and Justify cheercd
the British naval brigades, who arrived
with motor trucks and machine guns
believing that their number was ten
times the actual figure.
Personal Inconvenience, such as the
absence Of water for ten days, the city
in darkness after o'clock, and the
refusal Of permission to Bclg ans out
side the city 20 enter. did not lessen
the cheerful optimism of the people
Then the Governor Of Antwerp signed
this proclamation, which fell like a
bOmbShell: History teaches US how
sometimes fortified cities have bee.
subjected 10 bombardment. Therefore,
everybody is warned 20 leave the city,
if possible, before o'clock N the
afternoon"
The ceaseless Sight toward Esschen
began Immediately. Frenzied thou
sands rushed homeward ana packed
their yaluables in sheets, towels and
Ledspreads, strapped children on their
backs or placed them in wheelbarrows
and fastened TO the nearest station
There was no necessity for tickets
The trains gathered in people like cat
tie.
