MEETING CALLED

MOST IMPORTANT
ALL FARMERS OF SUMTER
Invited to Discuss Measures
of Relief

The massmeeting of farmers of Sum
ter county, to be held Saturday morn
ing at II o'clock at the courthouse,
will discuss measures of relief bearing
upon the cotton situation, and every
farmer in the county is urgently re-
quessed to come and express his views
and lend cooperation in this crisis. II
is apparent to all that if the cotton
consumers are given to understand
fully that the cotton acreage is assur-
edly to be reduced next year, it will
have the effect of starting an imme1-
late buying movement, and the crop
now being marketed can be sold at
once, and at fair prices. This prop
o sition is the object of the meeting Z
Saturday morning, and every man who
produces bale of cotton is vitality in
terested.

RUSS ARMY TO MARCH
DIRECTLY TOWARD VIENN +,

LONDON, Sept 16.-( Especially A
huge Russian force will march direct
ly toward Vienna as soon as the oper-
ations around Przemysl, fifty-one miles
west of Lemberg and Cracow, Galicia,
are completed. So states a dispatch
from Rome, which comes from official
Russian sources.
Another dispatch from Rome adds:
News from the Austrian frontier de-
scribes even in darker colors the
situation of the Austrian army, espe-
cially since Germany has notified her
ally that she is unable to send any
more reinforcements into Galicia, ow-
ing to graver conditions on the west
ern front.
A dispatch to the Express from
Rome states that the two Austrian ar
mics commanded by Generals Dankl
and Auffenberg have joined forces at
Rzesow, 13 miles northeast of Jaros-
low, and 80 miles due north of Urzem-
ysl. In the course of this operation
the dispatch says, they lost 40 pc.
cent. of their numbers.

GERMANS LICKED;
COTTON SOARING
TUPMOST PRICES
EIGHT CENTS IN AMERlCUS
Best Grades Bring Readily
Top Values

When the cotton market took jump
to eight cents here yesterday Ameri-
Gus cotton men readily believed the
allies had given the kaiser's pretzel
boys another licking, as it is invaria-
bly, the case that every victory of the
allies is followed Immediately by an
advance in cotton and a correspond
ing decline in wheat. 1t is really like
a barometer, and foretells the war
news" of the day several hours be-
fore the telegraphic reports are sent
cut.
At ell events Americus buyers read
lily paid eight cents for good middling
grades of cotton here yesterday. One
lot of nearly thirty bales was sold for
that round figure, while smaller lots
also brought $40 per bale.
This was an advance of full cent
pound or IS per bale since last
Thursday. And it was just about thar
time the Germans started their high
ball hike homeward.
1t is a fact that the demand for fine
cotton has increased greatly within
the week and while eight cents is real
ly not a two-story price for cotton
which costs the farmer ten cents to
produce, it is better by IS per bale
than recent values. But even eight
cents will not tempt many farmers 10
sell, and the @hold tight" movement
will only be aeeentuated by the grad
ual but sure increase in values. s's
Americus warehouses already are

company, Harold Bros, is erecting an
additional building that will hold g.

Early Surrender of Entire Aus
trian Army is LookedFor;
Crown Prince Nth Army
Endangered

Russian army at Wilma whose defeat
was announced yesterday has moved
southwark to the vistula river.
According to an official report
French troops, in fighting which took
place on the twenty fifth of August
attacked and destroyed German field
hospital, killing physicians, nurse and
wounded soldiers.
Attention is called here to the rapid.
ity with which the Siberian troops of
Russia have appeared in the European
field. Portions of the third Siberian
army corps, which was defeated at
Lyck, in east Prussia, came from
Irkutsk, consequently their mobiliza-
ton and the transportation must hav,
been extraordinarily rapid as Irkutsk
is in eastern Siberia.
Mlillary experts mere are scarcely
able to- believe that such a troop
movement has been possible in the six
weeks since the publication of the
Russian order of mobilization.
According to dispatches received
here, the British naval commission nc
Constantinople today resigned from
the Turkish service. Fifty-two pieces
of British artillery, captured from
the British side have arrived at Ham
burg.
The rumors in circulation that up
per Sifesia is threatened by Russian
invasion are declared to be without
foundation.
The attempt of the Russians in south
Poland to isolate the Austrian army
under General Dankl is declared here
to have failed. The Silesian landwehr
or reserves, took part in the fighting
against the Russian forces.

RECALL SOLDIERS
FROM VERA CRUZ

WASHINGTON, DC, Sept. 16.-De-

American military forces who have
held Vera Cruz since last May, were
arranged today, in accordance with
President wilson's order of evacua
tion.
Transports at Newport News an

der General Funston include 1920
soldiers and marines. The latter will
go back to warships and stations
from which they were taken, while
the former will return to Texas City.

The order of evacuation was de
cided on at a cabinet meeting after
an urgent appeal from General Car
rama, urging that the presence OF
American troops constituted a con-
slant menace to friendly relations
The president and his advisers believe
the further presence of American
forces is not necessary, because OF
the removal of the circumstances that
