LARGE RECEIPTS
CONTINUE, While
PRICES FLAT1EN
AGAIN BELOW EIGHT CENTS
But Demand For Cotton Ii
Slightly Better

Again the cotton wagons trundlsl
over the wet roads of Sumter to Amer
icus yesterday and receipts for the da.'
were as good as expected after the tor
rental rain on Thursday, which not
only delayed picking, but washed the
roads in many localities as well.
There was little activity about the
warehouses, however, for while the
demand was possibly a little better
than on the day before it was at re-
duction, prices having slumped under
eight cents.
The ruling price here yesterday was
about ga cents, and few, if any, sales
were made at eight cents, or above the
figure quoted.
The torrential rain prevailing here
for twelve hours Thursday, accompan-
led by very high winds, wrought meal
culable damage to the cottonfelds.
Thousands of bales were open in the
fields of Sumter county farms, and q
vast deal of this was blown from the
boil and ruined This storm was the
second one within ten days, and proba-
bly, more than thousand bales cotton
were lost entirely or greatly demagei
by the wind and rain.
Not few farmers are willing to sell
at least a small portion of their crop,
as they need the money very much, but
even at this recent recession to eight
cents and below, there is very little de-
mand for cotton. And when the AIMEE
lean mills load up as they are do
ing rapidly, the price of cotton may go
very far below the present price level.

NEW YORK, Sept. Ex-senator Hen

with his wife, was a passenger on the
Olympic which arrived today, gave out
an interview urging the pursuit CT
strict neutrality by the government and
people of the United States. He said !:
This talk about peace just now is
originated by German agents, for the
purpose of affecting public opinion
here and elsewhere.
There is no reality to it, and if our
government permits itself to be used
at this time by the originators of this
peace talk, it would not only itself be-
come absurd, but what is far worse,
our future influence, which ought TO
be of great value at the right moment,
will be crippled and weakened.
I'VE must dismiss from our minds
any idea of speedy peace, which will

SPECULATION IS
RIFE Regarding
ALLEGED AFFAIR
The STORY OF ABDUCTION
Was Discussed in Americas
Yesterday

Americas people wondered yester-
day if it were really true that two
men would have the boldness to at
tempt the abduction of a young wo-
man from a business office located in
the heart of the retail district here,
and in front of which people were
passing at all times. Many and varied
were the comments made, therefore
upon the story of the alleged attempt
ed abduction of Miss Williams, stenog-
rapher for the Carswell Medicine Co
as published yesterday.
Miss Williams remained at her home
on Bell street yesterday. Officials OF
the company had no further details of
the alleged attack to give out. Among
many here it is not regarded seriously.
A Times-Recorder representative
visited the Office where the alleged
attack was made and inspected the
surroundings, the strings with with
the young lady claims she was bound,
and the handkerchief which she stated
was placed over her mouth in the al
legged gagging process. The small
Irvine strings evidently came off
package in the room, as other strings
like it were there. The handkerchief,
torn in two pieces, belonged to the
young lady.
The closet in which she claims the
men placed her is within six feet OF
her desk. The desk is within ten feet
OF the front entrance, opening upon
Forsyth street. The door of the clos
ct was not locked, and it might have
been easy for one, even though tied,
to have gotten out of the place.

be.
Either Germany or the allies Will
dictate terms of peace. If Germany
conquers France, England and Russia,
she will dominate Europe and will
subsequently extend that domination,
If she can, to the rest of the world.

The number of smoking rooms

ish Queen Victoria could she but

could never bring herself to do
more than tolerate the weed in
any form, and the smoking room
was always relegated to a very
distant part Of her various resi-
dences. Nor were the guests
permitted to solace themselves
with a quite smoke in their own
apartments, as on their arrival
they were specially warned not
to do so.

The Alaskan Railroad Bill.

The House and Senate conferes
have agreed upon the Alaskan
railroad bill. 1t will pass both
houses within the next few days
and will receive the signature of
President Wilson. There is but
little if any opposition to the
amended bill. 1t is little changed
from the house bill which passed
last month.
This insures the construction
of a railroad in Alaska to cost
$35, 600, 900, to be owned and
controlled by the United States
government and to be operated
for the benefit of the people of
Alaska, for the development of
our new possession and for the
commercial interests of the entire
world.
There are a few pessimistic
Democrats and Republicans who
are bitterly opposed to govern
ment ownership: They insist
that itpaves the way to socialism.
This is all foolishness. The
United States paid 1926, 600, 600
to build and own the Panama
Canal. There is no private own
ership here. The canal and the
canal zone belong to the govern
ment. The zone will be govern
ed by the government, the canal
will be controlled and operated
by the government. There is no
possible indication of socialism
in this. Neither should there be
in the ownership of a federal
railroad in Alaska. M e m D his
