have been planted, but even now, if
immediate preparation is made, uhey
may make good yield.
l hope all persons now renting for
cotton or cash rent will change their
rent contract providing that one-thirG
rent can be paid in oats wheat, corn
or hay. l suggest valuing a part OF
tie cotton rent at 10 cents per pound,
and in place of it to take oats at SC
cents per bushel or corn at 81 per
bushel, botn delivered in bags at the
railroad station; or hay at $40 per TOE
IN bales delivered at the Station. This
VIII guarantee tenants a fair price
for grain and hay, and will relieve
their fears of not being able to handle
grain and hay crops This change in
rent contract I feel may reduce the
South Carolina crop next year 200, 600
bales. Bear in mind that fully 5,O0O.-

If you, plan to carry over any cot

least one-third of the cultivated land
IN South Carolina planted il small

l request county papers to publish
this call, and urge large attendance

To the Editor of The State:

EUlIOI
l call on the cotton congress in
every county in South Carolina to
meet at the court house at II o'clock
Saturday, November IA, to discuss two
subjects First: The planting of small
grains, and second: adjusting tie rent
contract to the acreage reduction law
l request that the demonstration
agent of each county, the merchants,
bankers and business men will meet
with tie farmers and will devise ways
and means of providing seed to, plant
cats, wheat, rye and rape. 1t is now
seed time, and while our merchants
and bankers feel discouraged over
POOR collections, it will be short-sight-
led policy for them to fail to provide
ample seed to plant one-third of the
cultivated land in South Carolina in
small grains. Some of our people
seem to ear there will be no demand
nor sale for small grain next sum-
mer. l belie5e this fear is ground
less and tat any surplus oats, wheat
and rye will find ready sale at high
prices. Tie future May oats market,
quoted yesterday in Csicago at 5B
cents per bushel, would indicate that
oats in South Carolina should bring
that price plus freight to the sea-
board Ship loads of wheat have re-
Gently sold at $1.23 per bushel.
We can put our oats and wheat on
the market at least so days before tie
Western farmer can believer his.
suggest htat the county president of
each county congress select two or
more speakers to discuss the best

seeding to small grains. Oats should

Uses to be an interesting engagement.
The Kansas line looks stronger than
Washburu's but the Ichabods have a
whirlwind backfield and a brilliant

they will win but 1t is too early for
predictions. The Jayhawk is not asleep
these fine days and may hop out OF

norwegian Steamers Suspected OF
Carrying Supplies to German Navy.

Philadelphia. Sept. 29.-The captains
of the Norwegian steamers. Sommer-
stad and Fran, whose ships are re-
ported 70 have been held here because
they haye. aboard coal and food stuff
to be put aboard German warshihs at
sea today, refused to discuss the ru-
mors. The Sommerstad filed clearance
papers here Sept. II, for Cadiz, Spain
and the Fran cleared on Sept. 10, for
Pernambuco, Brazil. Last week the
Sommerstad returned her papers to the
custom house. The captain of the Fran
still had his papers. Both ships are
lying in the Delaware river with car
goes aboard.
The fact that one ship carries wines
for Spain and the other has coffee for
Brazil caused shipping men to specu-
late as to the ultimate destination of
the cargoes Of the two steamers. It IL
reported that owners Of the ships OBJ
jected to the vessels being used for any
purpose that would lay them open to
seizure Representatives of the COM
pany which charted the ships deny that
the cargoes are to be turned over to
German warships. but agents OF the
owners say they have evidence to the
contrary.

Americans From France Relate
Stories of German Cruelties.
Wounded Soldiers Burned With
Dead, They Say.

New York, Sept. 29.-Tales of Ger
man cruelty told them by the wound
ed Belgian and French soldiers they
tended in the hospital were brought to
New York Sundayby Mrs. w. p. T..
Hollingsworth and her four daugh-
tiers, the Misses Jacqueline, Hazel,
Gladys and Bessie.
The HOllingsworths have resided In
France for the last fourteen years, Mr.
Hollingsworth being the representative
there of the Westinghouse Electric
company. When war broke out they
left their chateau and went to q hotel
in Houlaget. The hotel was later con-
verified into a hospital and the Hol-
|lingsworths volunteered as nurses.
Saw Dunn Dums.
Before the wounded were brought
in we all smade clothes for the fam
lilies of Belgians who had been driven
worth. And while we are staying
with friends in New Canaan. Conn.,.
we are goinS to try to get clothing to
forward to Europe for the same pur-
poses. We saw ourselves, dunn dunn
bullets that were extracted from
from lockjaw, caused. the surgeons
said, by these fearful and cruel bull
let's. Many of the wounded told US
that German surgeons had severed the
tendOns in their wrists as they lay
helpless on the ground and thereby
depriving them for life of the use of
their hands.
Germans Burned Wounded.
"Others told US that the Germans
burned all the badly wounded men
with the dead after the battles and
corroborated the story told early in
the war that women and children had
been driven ahead of the Germans
who advanced over q bridge which
was being held by the allies at Char.

Samuel Brill Of the New York firm

July Is and remained there during
the early part of the war. He wal
mistaken for q Russian by a German
detective but proved his American cit

THAT same afternoon every Russian

Brill. THE Germans seem to be more
