surprise if the Germans, now rein

sive movement similar TO the one
which the allies tnaugurated so sue

The German losses are estimated
here at 5000 dead daily for the last
fortnight. THIS totals more than a.
GOO since September 4. AS the losses
Of the allies are known to have been
tremendous and adding the terrible
losses suffered by the Austrians in

the extraordinary sacrifices of met

No confirmation has been received
here Of the reported Servian eyacua-

whether the Servian retirement was

The earlier Impotence Of the British
public for news from the front seems
now to be more or less reconciled to

that the German public has been with

PUBLIC GETS MEAGRE NEWS.
AS has been the case heretofore when
the struggle along the vast battle line
in France has been most acute, The
public in Germany as we'll as in France

tent itself with the. most meagre news
of the progress Of the military OF
erations. Experience has shown that
extended statements are issued only
after the retirement or the temporary
defeat Of one army or the other.
The information this morning sets
forth Iaconically that the battle is IA
ing with great ferCeness along he
whole front which extends, roughly
speaking from the river Disc near No

SEVEN PENNIES
The QUOTATION
MONDAY MORNING
COTTON MARKET is BETTER
EVEN THE LOWER GRADES
ARE SALEABLE.

In the Americas market the new
month opens auspiciously with bet
ter demand for cotton than during Oc-
tober, when prices sank to the mud
sills and no one paid homage to the
king" While there is better tone
in the market, the fact that there is
also some little demand for the lower
grades is gratifying, as heretofore
poor cotton bales could scarcely be
given away as souvenirs with dollar
purchases at the grocery. They can
be sold now in limited quantity.
The demand seems to be getting
more general. Almost everybody in
the trade realizes that current prices
are low. The only reason everybody is
not buying as much as possible is the
idea that they may go still lower as
the pressure increases.
Meantime conservative people are
advising holders to turn loose all the
cotton which the demand will absorb.
They consider it much better to sell
around cents than to hold in the
hope of being able to borrow on the
basis of 6 cents and pay interest and
charges. At any rate, it is urged,
there is no sense in holding cotton for
better market and then killing such
hopes by preparing to raise more
cotton.
Some argue that farmers cannot af-
ford to cut out cotton, that cotton is
the chief if not the only money crop,
that the soil is not adapted to other
crops and so on.
However, much weigh can be at
tached to such arguments, it is urged
than nothing can be made out of any
crop that sells below the cost of pro-
ducing, as cotton is doing, and will
probably continue to do for perhaps
cor,a vaorc +n coune Further nh at tha
only way to force the price back to a
remunerative basis is to stop the over
production, and that a crop of any
thing more than 100000 bales next
year will be overproduction.
Unless the production is radically
cut at once it will take a number of
hard and weary years for the crippled
consumption to overtake the supply.

LARGE VOTE IN ELECTION TOMORROW
IS GREATLY To be DESIRED
Sumter Voters Should Rally Full Force the PSate
VIII With
Candidates That All Amendments

In Americus and all Sumter pre-
cincts as well, full and representa-
tive democratic vote is expected to-
morrow in the general state election,
the last one of the current year, and,
perhaps, the most important, inasmuch
as there is some opposition to the
election of the democratic nom
inee for the United States sem
ate, Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon. T.
w. Hardwick, upon the part of the
Bull Moose" element. This, however,
will not result seriously.
Sumter's voters will also cast their
ballots for Representative Charles r.
Crisp, State Senator Charles R. Nc
Crory, Representatives Crawford
Wheatley and j. E. Sheppard, and all
county officers of Sumter who are to
be reelected.
Appeals have been made to demo-
cratic voters all over the state to turn
out in force to vote for the nominees.
In addition to this fact the large num-
Der of constitutional amendments to
be acted on will attract some atten-
tion and interest.
Outside of the four county amend
ments, the most interesting is that
which proposes to increase the terms
of Office for county officers from two to
four years. The county officers, Of
course, favor this amendment, as do q
great many people in Georgia, who ere
anxious to get rid OF much of the poll
itics they now have to contend with.
Another amendment proposes to ex-~
tend the term Of Office of members of
the general assembly until the new
legislature meets and its members are
qualified. Still another empowers the
legislature to abolish the Office of
county treasurer in any county of the
state where the people desire to get
rid of that official.
1t is seldom that in the history OF
the state a constitutional amendment
has been defeated by the people There
is no particular opposition to any Of
the amendments to he voted on to-
morrow, and it is believed that all of
them will go through.
