Farmers, Fight for Cotton Seed

Ia the Frmers of tie South:
I have written three letters to Com
missioner of Agriculture Watson OF
South Carolina, showing that the three
principal products from one ton of
cotton seed, Oil, meal and hulls, be-
ing all good for food or feed ought
ike lard, oats and hay to advance
in price, from this European war, so
that they will aggregate $4,000 there
by enabling tie oil mills to pay $4,000
a ten for Gotten seed GO cents bush
el.)
There letters will show you that
there is one and only one way to do
this and that will be almost as hard as
going to war. II done, however, it
means that you will save 1-2 cents
a pound on your cotton and 80 cents
a busnel on cotton seed, that you
would otherwise lose.
You will need to compel your leg
dslatures, every one Of which you can
control, one after the other to pass a
law requiring the closing of all the
cotton gins and oil mills in tI1e South
until $4,000 ton can be had for the
products O.: a ton of seed and they
are able and willing to pay $4,000 a
Ton for the seed. You farmers, and
only you can do this. If you don't
do it, you will have no kick coming
if cotton never goes above 8 cents
and cotton seed above $4,000 for two
years.
Your paper can get these Watson
letters Immediately, or you can your
self after October 11th, when they
are released, by writing to the State
Book Store, Columbia, South Carolina,
for them. The cost Of the booklet
for printing is five cents.

BATTLES EAST And
WEST STILL RAGING
FURIOUS ONSLAUGHTS CONTINUE
WITHOUT DECISION
Italy Has Decided to Remain Out Of
the War-P0rtugal Outbreak
Nipped in the Bud.

London, Oct 21.-Fierce attacks de-
livered almost continuously for week
or more by the allies and the Germans
have resulted in no definite decision
in the battle raging in West Flanders
and Northern Prussia. The contest in
the eastern war arena in East Prus-
sia, Poland and Galicia &as been
equally undecisive.
This is clearly evident from reports
issued officially az various neadquar-
ters, which, content themselves today
with recounting the fact that violent
attacks have been made. The French
Eowever, claim the allies have repuls-
ed German offensive movements at va
rious points in the west.
According to the French communi-
cation the Germans also made at
tacks against the allies lines at
Neuport, DiXmude and La Bessee.

French Repulsed.

The German general staff declares
fighting continues on tie User Canal
andt hat the Germans, taking tie o.
fensive west of Lille, have repulsed
the French at several points
These reports seem to controvert
optimistic accounts appearing in Eng
lish newspapers from correspondents
who claim t:ey were in West Flanders
and who claim the Germans had been
driven back.
The Germans, towever, are believed
here to be fighting under great dis
advantage, especially along tie coast,
as the British ships assisting the al
lies land forces have long range guns,
capable of seriously menacing Ger
man troops and men in the trenches,
as we'll as the ammunition trains and
supply conveys.
While no official in ormation IS
available as to tie ships be-
ing used it is probable that
they are the t3ree monitors which
were being completed in England or
the Brazilian government Wien the
war broke out, and which were bought
by the admiralty.

Light Drafts.

These monitors draw less than nine
feet of water, and could take up posi-
tions not far from shore, from which
their six-incn guns and 4.7-inch howit-
zers could throw shells nearly four
miles across country the range being
given tcem by airmen.
The vessels assisting the allies have
not been allowed to carry out their
Operations in peace for German sub
marines have followed them down the
coast and attacked them while they
were shelling German positions. The
attacks, however, were made futile By
tine presence of British destroyers.
One account says the submarines suf-
fered losses, but this statement has
not been confirmed.
1t has been remarked that the sub
marines and aeroplanes, which in
times of peace have proved themselves
as dangerous arms of the army and
navy service, have suffered little loss
and have been doing splendid work.

Had Perfected EmbaIming.

Petrifed human toes were discover
ed, a few days ago, by workmen while
tearing down an old building at VIII
liamsburg, n. j. 1t was then recalled
by old residents of the neighboThood
that the building had once been a.
workshop of a famous embalmer, DR..
Thomas Holmes, who applied his Sc.
eret process to the body of President
Lincoln. DR.. Holmes always held that
his embalming preparation would en-
sure perfect preservation by turning
the tissues to stone. When DR.. Holmes
died, about twelve years ago, he car
ried his secret with him to the grave
The building which is being torn down
was about seventy-five years old. the
work of demolition had reached the
cellar and when a workman opened a
niche IN the wall he found on a shelf
what he supposed to be toes that were
perfectly carved from stone There
was also a bottle that apparently con-
tanned embalming fluid. A small brick
ed-up chamber is to be opened, and it
is thought likely that bodies will be
found there.

ASBESTOS IN VERMONT.
Leads United States in Production of
That Material

Probably the majority of the people OF
Vermont do not realize that asbestos is
found and mined to any extent in this
state and still less number know that
such Is not only the case but that Yer
mont leads every state in the union in
production of the freproof material, along
with granite and maple products.
Some interesting statistics are given III
ia pamphlet, The Production of Ashes
tos," published by the department of the
interior, United States geological survey.
In 1907 in the little town of Lowell,
VT the Lowell Lumber < Asbestos com
pany, now the Chrysotile Asbestos cor
poratiop, erected mill on the southwest
ern slope of Mount Belvidere, and the fol
lowing year began operations The mill
was greatly enlarged in 1911, and the out
put increased to its greatest yield that
year
Owing to labor troubles and especially,
it is said, to the decline of trade in the
countries affected by the Balkan war, the
mill shut down during part Of 1912 and
last year it was not operated at all.
Figures show that the largest annual
output Of asbestos was in 1911, the ban
ner year of the Lowell company, when
Z .G04 tons were valued at S119,925 In
| 1912 the output declined to 4 LAOS tons
and continued to decline the following
| year.
| BY these statistics it can readily be seen
that the principal output was from Yer
mont in fact, about two-thirds of the out
put came from this state.
| However this industry will be resumed
| this year, according to W. c. Gallagher,
president Of the Lowell company, who
states that electric power has been in
stalled and the plant enlarged. This
work is practically completed
| One of the handicaps preventing still
greater production in Vermont has been
poor facilities for shipping the product,
but this problem promises to be solved,
according to Mr.. GaIlagher's statement
\ railroad will be built to Lowell either
from johnson or AIorrisville and the out
put, according to Mr.. Gallagher's state
ment should be enormously increased dur
ing the next few years.
