FEW BALES ARE OFFERED;
SEVEN CENTS The Price
Poor Demand For Cotton In
All Markets

Wagons piled high with bales OF
cotton were seen coming into town
On every side yesterday and the local
gins were working overtime. There
seemed a little less tendency to sell
among the growers, while the great
majority are either storing it in the
warehouses or taking it back home
The price here was from Z to Z IL
cents, little lower than the week be-
fore. Some few farmers have been
placing a little cotton on accounts a,
about 10 cents, but that, too, seems
to have stopped and it can safely be
said that the large bulk of the crop
of Sumter county will be held until
conditions improve.

be earnestly impressed upon the meet
ing. Since the coming of the Euro
pean war; the entire South is getting
an object lesson on the foolishness Of
depending too much on any one crop,
no matter how strong a crop that
may be, 1t is necessary that every
county shall grow at least enough to
feed itself next year. 1t is impossible
to say how long this war may last.
Earl Kitchener the British minister of
war, who is probably the most relia-
Bile source of information, states that
it will extend over a period of eigh-
teen months. That will mean two
crops for us. 1t is imperative that the

cotton may bring, we shall be i'm

for foodstuffs in other parts of the
world. The South can do it. Before
the Civil War it was practically an
unknown thing for a Southerner to
buy any meats, grain or other staple |
foods from anywhere outside the
South.
The date for the conference will
probably be October 5 and 6. 1t is
possible that it will be found advisa-

it will be held at about that time in

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Military critics believe opera.
tons on a large scale are in
progress in France and Belgium
but today's official announce
ments from Paris and Berlin con.
tain nothing to confirm this view
The French war Office reports
violent artillery fire near the
North sea on Nieuport, and
farther east on the line, with Ger
man infantry attacks continuing
in the Argonne region.
The completeness of change in
the situation in Poland, ascribed
variously to the failure of the
Russian general, Rennenkampf
to close up the ring about the
Germans and to the brilliant
strategy of the German leaders
is indicated by a report tele-
graphed from Petrograd by an
English correspondent who previ-
ously had announced that the
Russians had won an overwhelm-
ing victory. He now states that
the Germans are holding their po-
sitions, and that the situation
remains extremely interesting
and hazardous"
A German military critic esti-
mates that the Russian losses in
killed, wounded, prisoners and
death from sickness amount to
fully 1,roo, 900, or one-third of the
nations best troops.
In Galicia the situation is still
confused. Recent reports from
Petrograd that the Russians had
invested Cracow on three sides
are now contradicted by an I'M
official dispatch which says that
the invaders are eight miles from
the city.
The Archbishop of Przemysl,
the Galician stronghold which has
been under siege for several
weeks, is quoted as saying that
the situation there is desperate,
and that the surrender of the city
impends.
The Krupp factory at Essen,
which supplies the German army
with its great guns, is said to have
been bombarded by an aeronaut,
though with what effect is I'M
known.
King George was on the firing
line in France today. Emperor
William, who recently visited his
troops in East Prussia, is now
said to be in Breslau, Si1esia,
where he conferred with Arch
duke Frederick, commander of
the eAustro-Hungarian army. Car
