The SelLa>Bale Movement

People are very much like a row
Of bricks standing on end close to-
gether. When one topples over it
hits the next, which strikes its
neighbor, and so on till the whole
row lies fat. Thus it is at present
in the business and financial world:
the farmer owes the merchant, the
merchant owes the banker, the
banker owes his correspondent, and
so on in an endless chain. When
business becomes like a stagnant
pool, with not ripple on its sur
face, every class and every occupa-
ton suffers. But cast pebble in
the form of a dollar into the stagnant
pool and the ripples extend over its
entire surface; keep up the exercise
of throwing dollars into the pool
and the waters clear up, the un-
healthy scum of inertia disappears
and soon the waters become pure
and limpid. Every bale of cotton
sold now is pebble cast into the
pool of business, if the proceeds be
applied to the sellers debts, Just as
every pebble makes a ripple in the
lifeless pool. One pebble does not
cause much of a ripple, but when a
thousand or two are thrown in, the
waters become so agitated as almost
to overflow the hanks and the stream
starts moving.
It will be no serious loss to the
individual who owes money to sell
a bale of cotton even ut present
prices and apply the money on the
debt he owes; whereas, if any con-
siderable number of those who are
holding their cotton do this, We be-
lieve it would have very .appre-
ciable effect in stimulating stagnant
trade conditions into renewed life
and activity.
People of all trades and classes
have very literally and even enthu
siastically supported the buy-a-bale
movement. Now, it seems nothing
more than reciprocity for the chief
recipients Of this support and en-
couragement-the debtor class, at
least--to sell bale and pay their
most pressing debts.
The experiment is worth making,
at any rate.

BLEASE FREED 1O2
CONV|CTS THURSDAY.
USUAL THANKSGIVING PRISON
DELVERY--TWO RELEASED
FROM WILLIAMSBURG.

Columbia, November 25:-Over
one hundred convicts received free
dom at the hands of Governor Cole L
Blease this afternoon as a Thanks
giving offering. The list includes
sixteen life termers, thirty-one serv-
ing sentences for manslaughter, ard
fifty-fve serving terms of other
offenses, such as house-breaking and
larceny, assault and battery with in
tent to kill, carrying concealed weap-
ons, violation of the dispensary law
and other minor infractions of the
law. This brings Governor Blease's
clemency record up to 1,430 pardon
ed, paroled or sentences commuted
during his ADMINISTRATION of less than
four years. This leaves less than
one hundred prisoners in the State
penitentiary.
The most noted case in the list is
w T Jones, the Union county white
farmer, who was serving life sem
tence for the murder of his wife.
John E Hough, the Kershaw county
white man sentenced to be electro
cuted for the murder of his father
in-law, got his sentence committed
to five years in the State peniten-
tiary.
1t will be recalled that the action
of the Governor in paroling Allen
Emerson of Anderson and R A
Richey of Abbeville played a prom
inent part in the campaign of last
summer. Today the Governor re-
moved the conditions under which
Richey was paroled and paroled him
during good behavior. Emerson
was granted a full pardon and can
now return to the State to live,
fully restored to citizenship.
Buckles, Alex, white, convicted at
the fall, 1914, term of court for
Williamsburg county of violating
the dispensary law and sentenced to
pay a fine of $3.50 or serve six
months on public works. Paroled
during good behavior and upon the
further condition that should he
ever again be convicted Of violating
the dispensary law he shall be re-
quired to serve the remainder of the
above sentence. Parole dated No
vember 25, 1914.
Bradley, Miller, colored, convict
ed at the October, 1914, term of
court for Williamsburg county. of
manslaughter, and sentenced to five
years imprisonment upon the public
works. Paroled during good be-
havior, November 25, 1914.

WITNESS TELLS
STORY OF LAST
FIGHT Of EMDEN
German Cruisers Raid on Cocos
Became Rout at Syndey's
! Appearance.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The corre-
spondent of the Chronicle at Keeling,
Cocos Islands, under date of Thurs
day November IL, sends the following
story of the last fight of the German
cruiser Emden:
"A four-funnelled cruiser arrived at
full speed at the entrance of the Ia
COON at o'clock Monday morning.
The suspicious of those ashore were
at once aroused. as the cruiser was
flying no flag and the fourth funnel
was obviously a dummy made of
painted canvas.
THE cruiser Immediately lowered q
launch and two boats. which landed
three officers and forty men, all
armed and having four Maxims.
1.-THE Germans, for such they proved
to be, rushed to the cable station,
turned out the operators, smashed the
Instruments, grappled unsuccessfully
for the cables and blew up the cleo
trfcal stores, but a general call had
already been sent out by wireless.
'At 0 o'clock the Linden blew her
emergency siren for the return of the
landing party, but did not wait for
them. From ashore the reason for
the EInden's haste was apparent, as
in the east warship could be seen
coming up at full speed.
The Linden fired the first shot, at
a range of 1900 yards, at the same
time steaming in a notherly direction
at her fastest speed. Meanwhile her
pursuer was identified from the shore
as the Australian cruiser Sydney.
AT first the firing of the Emden
seemed excellent, while that of the
Sydney was cratic This, it after
wards developed, was due to the fact
that the Emden'7 first shot had
wrecked the Sydney's range-finder.
The British gunners soon found the
range, however, and shot away two
of the Emden's tunnels and one mast
Both ships were blazing away with
all their guns when they disappeared
below the horizon and the Emden was
afire aft.
Meanwhile, the landing party, en-
trenched on the shore of the lagoon,
determined to fight if the British sent
o party ashore. After time, how
ever. they decided to quit the island.
They embarked on the old schooner
Ayesha, seized a quantity of stores
and sailed away. They have not sinceS
been seen.
Early on Tuesday the Sydney an
chored off the island and reported her
victory. The officers explained that
they were able to keep out of the
range of the Einden's guns, mean
while bombarding her with their
heavier artillery. The engagement

lasted eighty minutes, the Emden
finally running ashore on North
Keeling Island an utter wreck.
only two of the Emden's shots
were effective. The first smashed the
range-finder and killed one man and
the second killed three and wounded
fourteen. Both of the cruisers used
torpedoes during the fight, but inef-
fectually. The Sydney's speed during
the fight was twenty-six knots and
the Emden's was twenty-four.
The Sydney also sank the collier
Buresk, which had been in attend
ance on the Emden, and after report
ing her vbictory here left at IL o'clock
Tuesday to look for SURVIVORS. The
Sydney finally sailed on Wednesday
with number of prisoners.'
