1.-THE SILVER LINING"
Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls Should
Feed Dairy Cattle.

There is silver lining to the
cloud which hangs over the market
for cotton and cotton seed products,
said President Harrison of Southern
Railway company at Washington
Thursday. "One of the great advan-
tages Of the South for the production
of beef and for the dairy industry is
in the use Of cotton seed meal and
hulls as parts of balanced ration
for dairy COWS and for fattening cat
tie for market Under normal condi-
tions a very large proportion of the
cotton seed meal and hulls produced
in the South is exportcd-Germany,
Belgium, and Holland being partic-
ularly large users of these products.
The war in Europe will greatly dimin-
ish exports to these countries and as
result prices of both meal and hulls
are now abnormally low.
This condition offers the South
ern farmer an opportunity to recoup
himself for some part of his loss due
to the low prices paid for cotton and
cotton seed. BY feeding meal and
hulls in proper proportion with other
feeds to dairy and beef cattle, he can
secure direct profit from these cat
tie and at the same time have sup
ply of manure for building up the
productivity of his farm.
"It has long been apparent that the
weakest point in agriculture in the
cotton belt has been the neglect of
live stock. The farmers of that re-
gion have an unusual opportunity. If
they are to make the most Of it, as
long as present conditions continue,
there should be no shipments of cat
tie from the cotton belt of the South
to other localities either for feeding
or for dairy purposes and many far
mers may find it profitable to buy
beef or dairy cattle in other parts of
the United States

. MAKES NO COMMENT.
Bryan Says Nothing About Jap Seiz'
ure of Ja1uit Island.

Secretary Bryan Tuesday declined
in the absence of all the facts to ex.
press any opinion as to whether the
Japanese foreign Offices announce
ment that Japan's war activities
would be confined to the Far East
The secretary plainly was expect
ing the early arrival of some official
statement of the ultimate purpose OF
the act. Already Mr.. Bryan has in
terested himself in japanese military
operations against the German con-
cession in Shan Tung, probably be-
cause of the appeal from the Chinese
government against the alleged vlo-
Iation of Chinese integrity.
The landing on Jaluit, in Marshall
Island, however. has not yet been
made the subject Of representation
to the state department, possibly for
the reason that there is no one in q
position corresponding. to that OF
China. In Samoa. it is pointed out by
officials. the United States has a very
lively interest in any change in the
sovereignty of the group because OF
the proximity of the German-owned
islands to the American Island OF
Tutuila.

SHERIFF KILLED.
Greenyille Deputy Shot Down by tin
Grant Mill Operative.

j. Lindsay, deputy sheriff al
the Duncan mills, near Greenville
was shot and instantly killed Monday
morning at 4:30 o'clock by W. S
Chadwick, an itinerant mill operative
who is said to have been a minister
at one time. The killing occurred
when the deputy sought to protect
Chadwick's wife from an attack b!
her enraged husband.
Chadwick and his wife had been
separated for some time because OF
maltreatment of her, said Mrs. Chad
wick. Monday morning he came to
her house unexpectedly, arriving
about 4 o'clock. Recently ChadwicS
has lived in Georgia. Mrs. Chad
wick's brother, Alfred T. Abbott, met
him at the door and upon assurance
that he had come for no i'll purpose,
admitted him.
Chadwick and his wife had some
words and Abbott forced him to leave
the house, Mrs. Chadwick locking the
front door upon him. Then Deputy
Lindsay was sent for. young Lafay-
ette Chadwick going for the deputy.
When Lindsay arrived he went up to
Chadwick to place him under arrest
but was killed in the attempt.

PEACE TREATIES.
Bryan Trying to Negotiate With Ger
many, Austria and Japan.

Secretary Bryan is earnestly try
ing to bring Germany, Austria and
Japan into the Bryan peace treaty
fold, since they are the only powers
which have not signed one of these
agreements with the United States.
At Mr.. Bryan's request the Ger
man ambassador called Monday at
the state department and received
from Mr.. Bryan's hands copies of the
treaties recently signed with Great
Britain, France, Spain, and Russia.
The desire Of the United States to
include all nations in these compacts,
which provide, not for arbitration
and settlement of disputes. as many
persons suppose, but merely for their
submission to an investigating COM
mittee for report, was explained to
Ambassador Bernstorff and he was
asked to call to the attention Of his
government the fact that the other
great powers of Europe are agreeing
to these conventions.

so quickly eXerted, the pluck and
energy of Servia, combined with the
great Austrian smash-up, have Great
ed at the end of the second month a
situation which we might have been
we'll content with at the end of the
seventh or eighth.
"Of course it is much too soon to
speculate. We are not building upon
the accidents of battlefelds. We are
measuring the vital forces OF the ma
tions engaged in the war. We are
satisfied that Germany has done not
worst and is fully expended.
Russia Has Only Begun.
Russia has only just begun. In
less than six months time We shall
have 100000 soldiers in line-all
volunteers, not taken on compulslon.
These men will be equipped with
everything that science can invent or
money can buy, drawn by our naval
powe.' from the whole world.
1--WE want this war to settle the
map of Europe on national lines and
according to the true wishes of the
peoples who dwell in the disputed
areas. After all the blood that is
being shed we want natural and
harmonious settlement which hber-
ates races, restores the integrity Of
nations, subjugates no one, and per-
mits genuine and lasting relief from
the waste and tension of armaments
under which we have suffered so
long.
Some day the natural and true
frontiers of Italy must be restored.
There will never be real peace and
comfort until then. AS long as aus
tria has power to squander thou
sands of Italian lives in quarrels of
her ambition, as long as she holds IN
her grip and bondage fair provinces
and numerous populations which are
Italian heart and soul and bone and
nature, there will always be arma-
ment and counter-armament, fear,
tension, and intrigue. and always
danger of the horrible catastrophe
recurring.
"Let us make an end of it now.
Let us have a fair and natural ad-
justment of European boundaries.
Let us war against the principle of
one set of Europeans holding down
by force and conquest against their
wills another section. Let us reach
final and simple solution. And let
us fortify and confirm the settlement
by a law of nations which even the
most audacious will have been
taught to respect.
The foregoing report of the inter-
view is issued by the British official
Press Bureau. and consequently can
be REGARDED as an official document.

.BLAMES LURE OF DANCE
POLICE BLAME PRESENT CRAZE
FOR DUPNG OF WOMEN.
New York Detectives Say Many
Crooks Find Women Easy Prey, as
Did Eaton, the ''Tango Ran1eS."

The unusual revelations following
the Wednesday night shooting OF
Herbert j. Eaton, the tango Raj
fes,' of New York, describe a profit
able scheme by which versatile
thieves. through the casual and
sometimes unconventional acQualnt-
anceship Of the present day dance
fascination, have been able to prey
upon women of wealth in this city.
According to New York detectives
they have had to abandon at least
half dozen similar cases within the
last six months because the women
who had been duped in this way were
socially prominent and did not want
the publicity involved in the arrest
and persecution Of the criminals.
The police admit that many men
known to them as thieves have be-
come expert tangoers, who wear even
ing clothes in hotel bathrooms and
restaurants for the purpose of plying
their trade" They became acquaint-
ed with women whose friendship they
cultivate in the fashionable dance
places merely to entangle them, Sc
cure entrance to their apartments,
rob them or blackmail them by
threatening to tell their husbands of
the unconventional mountaineering.
In several recent cases OF "oboerles
the women victimized had social con-
uections which forced them to avoid
prosecution and the police have no
way Of preventing the acquaintance
ships which foster this kind OF th1ev-
cry.
1t is the belief of the police, how
ever, that the disclosures in the
Eaton case will be warning to "o-
men who are inclined to dance with
men casually introduced to them IN
such informal circumstances. They
also call attention to the past years
apartment burglaries and jewel
thefts, which they thinks were &C
compished by just such means. The
burglars never could have gained en-
trance to the places, it is asserted,
except by cultivating the acqualnt-
ance of the women residents.
Eaton himself, according to the
detectives who have been visiting
him, feels strongly that he deserves
his punishment. Detective Foley,
who shot him while Eaton was trying
to escape after he had met Mrs.
Arthur E. Pike to return some OF her
| jewels for consideration. was asked
| by Eaton to shake hands with him.
The wounded man was reported to be
| Improved slightly, although he is not
yet out of danger.
Mrs. Eaton and her little daughter
| Gladys have moved to another home.
| The unsuspecting wife does not care
! to face her neighbors again and she
told the janitor that despite the gor-
geous jewels she had been wearing
under the assumption that they were
really hers she must get a cheaper
dwelling because of her husbands S
sudden downfall. Where they are
going was not disclosed, but it was
learned that they have a country
place in New Jersey.

FOR COTTON LOANS
ST. LOUIS BANKERS HAVE PLAN
TO HELP PRODUCERS.
McAdoo and Fedrai Reserve Board
Likely to Endorse Scheme for
Handling the Cotton Crop.

Handling the Cotton Crop.
The federal reserve board took
steps Tuesday to give its approval to
the plan proposed by bankers Of the
Middle West to relieve the cotton
market through s150,e00,000 loan
fund Festus J. Wade of St. Louis
and other bankers who helva.i form
the plan were asked to go to Wash
ington for conference as soon as
convenient and it is possible that the
plan will receive the approval of. the
board before the close of the present
week.
The board appointed Gov. Hamlin,
Paul NJ. Warburg and W. P. G. Hard
ing members of a committee to talk
with the bankers. Although board
members have no knowledge Of the
details of the plan it was believed
that in principle it was agreeable and
that unless there are unlocked fer
obstacles it will be indorsed.
It was understood that the plan
will meet the approval of Secretary
McAdoo. Mr.. McAdoo received a tel
egram from Festus J. Wade of ST.
Louis announcing that he would send
as soon as possible statement set
ting forth the plan in detail.
The plan referred to was proposed
by a conference of St. Louis bankers
and was ratified by subsequent con.
ference of bankers from cotton grow.
ing states.
The plan is approved in a genera,
sense by nine Southern bankers who
had been asked by Secretary McAdoc
to attend the conference with St
Louis bankers, providing for the rails.
ing of the fund by subscription from
national and State banks, trust com
panies and mercantile and manufac'
turing companies throughout the
country.
s'It must be distinctly understood,
declared Festus J. Wade, chairman
of the st. Louis Clearing House as
sociation and originator of the plan
that this is not a movement for tht
purchase of cotton. It is simply {
movement to make available a FUND
Of 100000, to loan on cotton a
not to exceed SC pound, middlins
basis.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Wade called {
conference of the heads of nine st
Louis mercantile houses and banks
and submitted to them his plan fol
raisin ga fund of S150,G00,000 tt
loan in the cotton states and cottoI
manufacturing centres. The pla1
then was submitted to Secretary Nc
| Adoo and to the federal reserve
board.

SUBMARINES TO GATHER.
Nays Full Equipment Will Nance
.ure Off Florida.

The largest fleet of submarines
ever assembled by the United States
navy will take part in the anmoeu-
vres planned to take. place off the
Florida coast this winter. 1t is the
intention to assemble the entire
equipment of submarines of the navy,
while six new submarines are expect
ed to be in commission by the time
of the manoeuvres. In all there
should be twenty-four boats.

ENCOURAGE ENTERPRISES.
Home Business Firms Should Receive
Support of All.

A public spirited citizen who is at
the head of great manufacturing
enterprise in a small city issued Or
ders that all printing and stationery
supplies used by the concern should
be purchased from the local printer
and stationery dealer and said:
"Why should we spend our money
to help build up an industry in an
other city while at the same time try
ing to secure new industries for our
own city? Let US build up and fos-
ter the industries we have and others
will come"
He had the right idea. There is
little inducement for new industry
to locate in a town where the largest
buyers send away for their needs.
Some of the largest industries in the
country had very modest beginnings,
but probably would never have
grown or expanded without the loyal
support of the home people. Our
town can build up and our enter
prises increase if our people follow
the plan CT the above mentioned big
man in a little town.

DELIVERY BY CONTRACT.
Department Hopes to Make Annual
Saying Of $4,000, 900.

In order to reduce the cost of hav-
ing mail distributed through the ru-
raj districts the government may let
out the work of carrying rural mail
on contract. Postmaster General
Burle on is in favor of this plan in
stead of hiring rural carriers. The
recent increase in the pay Of rural
carriers has resulted in additional
expense, and it was made against the
protest of the post Office department.
The political influence of the rural
carriers may interfree, it is said, with
the consummation Of Postmaster Gen
eral Burelson's plan. 1t is estimated
that the government could save $780,
100000 a year by letting the rural
service out by contract.

LEGISLATURE MEETS.
Organize and Effect Little on First
Day of Session.

Aside from organization Of the
Senate and House, the general assem-
bly, accomplished little Tuesday, the
first day of the special session, called
presumably to find a solution for the
economic problem which is vexing
cotton planters.
Numerous plans for the alienation
Of conditions confronting the cotton
producers as a result of the war in
Europe have been proposed. It seems
probable that the general assembly
will take steps intended to reduce
the amount Of cotton produced in
1915, but such action will doubtless
be made contingent upon similar pro-
cedure in the nine other states in the
cotton belt. One group OF South
Carolinians has been advocating the
entire elimination Of cotton as a crop
in 1915.

>oNE-HALF AFFECTED.
Most Every Other Person in the
World is Affected by the War.

World is Affected by the War.
Paul Leroy-Beauheu, distinguish
ed economist Of Paris, speaking in
connection with the war, estimates
the number of people affected at one
quarter OF the population of the
world. Of this number the Allies,
he said. contributed 321, 100000 and
the enemy 116,000,00o. He added
that if the overseas population be in
cluded the number of people affect
ed by the war will be increased by
410,000,000, making the total S47,-
100000, or one-haf the population
Of the globe.
NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu discussed the
question of whether war was pos
sible in which the entire adult popu-
lation would be under arms. He said
such a war was possible and it might
last for long time, judging by the
struggles Of Paraguay against Brazil
and Argentina, the Beers against the
British and the two Balkan wars.
