TOMMY ATKINS MUST
HAVE HIS TOBACCO
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Messages from
the front saying that tobacco is like
sold dust to the soldier has so touch
ed the sympathy of smokers that mail
to the continent is now filled with Gig
arettes, pipes and plug-cut. Societies
are formed for the collection of tobac-
co in its various forms and boxes for
such contributions are now prominent
on hotel desks and club tables and
other places frequentel by smokers.
While all classes are helping Tommy
Atkins to get his smoke, temperance
societies are fervently urging him not
to drink. These societies want the
men to volunteer to do what was made
compulsory in the Russian army by
the Cars anti-vodka decress. One
well known Anglican bishop has asked
the men to pledge themselves to re-
frain from drinking even beer or light
wines, although they may know the
water to be polluted. The bishop him
self is not joining the expeditionary
force.

OFFERINGS IN
AMERICUS SILL
EXCEED DEMAND
NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE
COTTON MARKET SITUATION
VALUES STILL SAGGING

Americas cotton dealers report M
material change today in the situation
and with the price of best grades down
around 6 IL cents the program of
patient waiting" continues on mo-
otonously. The lack of demand re-
mains deterring feature, even at the
marked down" figures prevailing this
week. The price of cotton today is
nearly four cents per pound below the
actual cost of production, and still
there is no demand for cotton.
One thing seems plain: no farmer
who calculates on planting next spring
should sell bale at prevailing prices.
1t is much cheaper to hold cotton than.
to grow it, This fact is generally ap-
preciated, and it is reasonably SURG
that large proportion of the crop win
be and is being held. This tendency TO.
hold will become stronger on every
further dip in prices.
Present offerings appear much In
excess of the present demand, but that
is on account of the waiting attitude of
the demand. AS the end of the month
approaches very possibly buyers will
begin to think it time to gather in
good part Of the onth's engagements
AS soon as they get to looking around
for cotton in broader way they Will
probably discover that the quantity to
tie obtained is very much less than they
had been led to suppose.
A good deal of rain is reported over
the belt, especially in the western sec
ton, where the weather is much cooler
But nobody pays much attention Tor
crop weather news any more this year
Whether the crop proves $4,000, 00Os
16, 100000 or 100000 bales makes lit
tie difference. The main question is.
how much will be put on the market

APPEAR ON LIST
OF CITY VOTERS
FOR PRIMARY ON THURSDAY
REGISTRATION MAY BREAK
ALL RECORDS.

Seven hundred and thirty white vot-
ers of Americas had registered up to
the nocn hour today for the city pri-
ma1v next Thursday, 22nd, and with
tree more days remaining in which
voters may register it appear now that
the 40 mark will easily be passed.
This y Guild prove a record-breaker and
e'.1eno es fully the deep and absorbing
interest of the voters of Americas in
the result of the Forthcoming demo-
cratic primary.
Clerk Weaver is kept busy register
ing the names of voters who call, and
he thinks there is every prospect of
full vote next Thursday. The books
will be closed next Monday night.
In order to register for the city pri-
mary on Thursday next, it is neces-
sary that ones city taxes for last year
--1913-- be paid, and that he is a
bona fide resident of Americas for the
period required under the law. The
payment CT taxes for this year is not
essential. With three candidates for
the mayoralty, and three for alder
manic honors, it seems assured that
there will be large registration and
heavy vote on election day.
So far there are no other annaunce-
ments for aldermanic honors than the
three already entered, viz, Aldermen
Bell, Mashburn and Oliver, who stand
for reelection.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. ia scarcity
OF wheat -four is felt in Holland. At a
meeting last Saturday of the bakers
OF Velsen, it was decided to bake rye
bread only The Netherlands produce
very little of wheat, rye and barley
being the principal cereal crops. Due
to the fact that during the last four
weeks no wheat has been imported,
owing to the rigorous enforcement of
the contraband by the British and
French cruisers, the supply of whea:

COTTON BALL IN NEW YORK.


Another Cotton Ball" of interest in
the south is the one to be given by
the Southern Society of New York at
the Waldorf-Astoria on the evening of
November IL.
The Montgomery Advertiser has the
following to say concerning this affair:
"The proceeds are to be devoted to
Teplenishing the relief fund that the
society maintains for assisting south
'erners who may be in distress. AS the
decentralization in the cotton market
will, in all probability, increase the
number of southern people who may
become dependent upon the charity of
the society, it's officers and entertain
rlent committee are especially anx-
icus to make this cotton ball a great
success.
by way of assisting the cotton pro-
<ducers of the south through popular
izing the use of cotton goods, the
managers of the cotton ball intend to
request that every lady who is pres
ent on the occasion shall wear a cos
tune made and trimmed with cotton
materials so far as possible The dec
orations of the ball room will be dis
tinctly southern in character, and
cotton, both in the boil and in the
bale, will be largely used,
"The hope is expressed that simple
colonial costumes made of cotton clorh
will be worn by those who attend in
stead of the more ornate and less cap
tivating frocks which the fashion OF
the day prescribes. 1t is thought that
those who do this may set a much
needed example of economy, while
they will at the same time increase
the demand for the product of the
southern cotton fields.
Several ladies, who in face and fig
ure resemble the historically famous
beauties of the colonial and ante
bellum south, are expected to wear
cotton costumes that will conform to
the fashions of the period which their
prototypes adorned.
"The names of the committee hav-
ing the affair in charge will be an
nounced shortly. 1t will include many
women prominent both politically and
socially in New York, Washington and
also in the cities of the south. The
affair already promises to be a huge
success, and many Southern people
expected to come to New York, especi-
ally to be present"
