GOVERNORS IN
WASHINGTON FAIL
upon AGREEMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-
Governors and congressional delega-
tions of Southern states continued
their conferences here today to devi,e
relief for cotton producers from war
conditions. There was no indication
OF an agreement having been reached
over the main roposal-whether the
federal or state governments should
assume the burden of curtailing next
years production.
Several proposals were before the
committee. One would levy a prohib
tive tax of ten cents a pound on the
1915 yield in excess of so per cent. o.
the 1914 production. Another would
fix tax of $40 on every acre planted
to cotton in 1915 in excess of so per
cent. of the 1914 acreage.
An all day and a night conference
had failed to bring the congressional
delegation and governors into harmo-
ny over the question of whether the
proposed tax should be levied by the
federal or state governments. Tie
governors maintained the states were
without constitutional authority and
that only congress could enact sucn
Legislation.
Opposition to state action was led
by Governor Slaton, of Georgia, who
declared that no matter what the out
come of the conference might be, he
would not call the legislature Of his
state together. Congressman held
that it would be difficult to enact leg
islation for the benefit of the cotton
Estates, representing about one-third
of the population of the nation.

THOUSANDS DIE
BETWEEN BATTLE
LINES RECENTLY

LONDON, Sept. 29.-(Special. )-The
! eighteenth day of the battle of thu
Aisne thus far has brought no decisive
result, but all indications continue
to point to an approaching end of tn :
Homeric struggle. Hand to hand fight
ing is now raging with such fury as is
sure, it is generally held, to decide the
issue.
Meanwhile the fog which the
French official report yesterday aa-
nounced had prevented operations II,
the Woevre district, covers metaphor
ically the remainder of the long battle
line.
All that the public is permitted to
know from the allied side is that SO
far the British and French armies have
held their grip on their positions and
have consistently thrown back the
masses of Germans who have been
braVely and increasingly hurled on
them in an effort to break through the
human barrier.
In Berlin it is asserted there has
been no change in the situation and
the claim of the allies that the scales
have turned slightly in their favor is
stoutly denied.
The losses of the opposing armies
in the last few days of the fierce
combats have been colossal. Even
the official reports contain a grue,
some picture of thousands of dead
and wounded lying in the fire-swept
zone between the two armies and ev-
cry fresh assault is adding to the
CHASTITY litter.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-30

hles stretches over a wide area. Six
bombs were hurled today at two Bel
Sian towns, in one of which a con-
vent was damaged, and another Ger
man airship created a panic at the
town of Bialystok, 60 miles across the
Russian frontier.
The Japanese are drawing the mil
itary Gordon closer around the Ger
man territory of Kiao Chow, in tn
Chinese province of Shan Tung. An
official Japanese statement today an
nounces that the japanese are driving
the Germans toward Using Tau and the
Japanese fleet, aided by the army, has
bombarded the Iltis fort. Russia has
extended the suspension of specie pay
ments for another month.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-(Special.)-
Terrific fighting now in its eighteenth
day in the Aisne district north OF
Paris continued today to rage, but its
volume is generally held to portend a
decisive result in the near future. Fu-
rious hand to hand conflicts are pro-
ceeding and the losses to both allied
and German armies are enormous.
Several times the Germans hurled
their masses of troops against the
French wing, but in every case they
we're repulsed, according to the official
statement issued by the French war
department this afternoon. In the
center, it is asserted, heavy cannon
aiding is going on, while between the
Argonne forest and the river Meuse
the allies have made some progress.
The German general staff, Berlin
advices say, claims tnat the situation
on French soil has not changed and ii
is emphatically denied that the battle
at any point of the line is going to
favor of the allies.
Galicia has been almost cleared CT
Austrians, according to announcement
at Petrograd, and the Russians cross
ing the Carpathian mountains, have
entered Hungary and are drying back
the Austrian reinforcements sent
against them. The invaders swept
across the mountains into the Unhgh-
var district, which is about $50 miles
northeast of Budapest, the Hungarian
capital.
Germans, estimated to number 49,
600 are reported from Rotterdam to
he preparing for a siege of the Belgian
fortress of Antwerp. Austrian siege
Guns have been brought up to take the
n1qce Of the large German guns now
being used in the fighting in the French
district of Aisne. A Belgian official
communication states the heavy artl-
1erv fire directed at the two forts :e,
miles from Antwerp, ceased when the
forts replied.

GERMANS SUFFER TORTURES
CROUCuED In TRENCHES
Dare Not Show Heads TO The
Allies

LONDON, Sept. (SpeciaD-A
picture Of the sufferings of the German
troops, cramped in miles of under
ground trenches and galleries along
the Aisne river, is given by the Mails
Paris correspondent. If the men step
from the trenches to the level ground
they do SO at the risk of their lives.
At night the chances of an expected
attack from the allies infantry are
so great that every German soldier
must be at his post in the narrow
ditch.
The nerves of the sentries are very
sorely tried. They mistake the most
innocent sounds for French infantry
creeping up. When a sentry, tricked
by his nerves, fires his rife, he brings
the whole advanced post up at doub.e
quick, and they find that there has
been false alarm.
The trench system is most elaborate.
1t constitutes a whole subterranean
town with main thoroughfares, side
streets and telephone wires running
all along. !,

CITY WILL RECEIVE ALL THE
NEWS WHILE It IS STILL NEWS
Change From Morning Afternoon Edition and Addition Of
Associated Press Dispatches First of Series of Improve
ments Which VIII be Made in South Ceozgia's LiOest
Newspaper

Tomorrow morning Americus Will
miss her Times Recorder, but in the
afternoon she will be introduced to
the Americus Evening Times Recorder
carrying ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES. The chance from morn
ing to an afternoon edition, which
was announced several days ago, will
be perfected on this day, and Amer
icus will enter an era of improvement:
as far as her daily newspaper is con-
cerned.
The change in the hour of publica
tion and the addition of the Associated
Press Dispatches is the first Of several
contemplated changes in the Times
Recorder. The owner and publisher of
the Times-Recorder are determined
to give Americus the best daily new1-
paper in south Georgia, and expense
will not be spared to further the plans.
The fact that the Evening Times-Re-
cOrder will carry Associated Press
Dispatches raises it to the same class
as the Macon and Atlanta papers.
Americus will have a paper with the
same news in it as far as news from
the outside world is concerned, as the
dailies of the larger cities of the state.
Each afternoon three editions will be
turned out, each carrying all the news
up to press time. Neighboring cities
will be served by carriers with a pa
per containing the news while it is still
news. The regular home edition
will be on the streets by 4:30 each af-
ternoon and Americus will have her
war news fresh from the front.
The difference in time between
Americus and the battlefelds of Eu-
rope make it possible for the Times
Recorder to carry ALL the war news
in the afternoon paper. Four o'clock
in Americus is 9 o'clock in Paris and
10 o'clock in Berlin. By that time the
fighting will be over for the day and
the Times-Recorder will have the dis
patches from the front.
The change in the hour of publica-
tion and the addition of the Associated
Press dispatches, together with certain
other changes, which will be made i'm,
mediately, will make the Evening
Times-Recorder an up-to-date newspa-
per in every detail. Arrangements
have been made 50 that each day Miss

FRENCH OFFICIAL REPORT
AS GIVEN OUT AT PARIS

PARIS Sept. Especial. Jon
our left wing the river Somme,' the
rrench official statement issued this
afternoon at o'clock, says, "the Ger
mans attempted numerous attacks, all
of which the allies repulsed."
The text of the statement follows:
First. On our left wing, to the
north of the Somme and between the
Somme and the Disc, the enemy both
by day and by night, delivered sew
eral attacks which have, however, been
repulsed. To the north of the Aisne,
there has been no change.
Second. In the center in Cham
piegne and to the east of the Argonnc,
the enemy has restricted his activities
to heavy cannonading. Between the
Argonne and the Meuse there has been
slight progress on the part of our
