THE HORRORS OF WAR HIT HARD
At THE DOORS OF THE BELGIANS


all physicians are at the front or
serving in the hospitals. Hundreds
of priests and nuns are caring for the
sick and wounded. Few churches are
fit for occupancy as hospitals or 9TH
erwise. Convent homes have been de-
serted by the sisters. Many are so
badly wrecked they could afford no
shelter.
They're Facing Starvation.
Canals leading from Belgium to
Holland and the one railway line be-
tween Antwerp and Rosendaal con-
stitute Belgium's only communica-
ton with neutral territory. There
are no mails or telegraphic service
to Dutch territory. The disheartened
Belgians are unable to communicate
with their relatives whether they are
refugees in Holland or soldiers on
the battle line. Their isolation is al
most complete. To the grief over
their dead and the exile of their gov
eminent is now added the awful spec
tire Of starvation.
The single ray of hope is afforded
by the American commission for re-
lief in Belgium. The liberality Of
Holland is described as splendid, but
the country's grain supply is ex-
hausted. Great Britain having limit
ed Dutch importations the sole source
of an adequate food supply is the
United States.

Because of the abundant supply of
cotton seed meal that there is likely
to be in this country this year spe-
cialists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture believe that the
farmer has a better opportunity to
make money by feeding beef cattle
than for some years past. The feed
ing value of cotton seed meal has
been recognized by agricultural au-
thorities for some time and large
quantities are exported annually to
Europe, where the farmers, especial
ly those in Denmark, are also aware
of its usefulness. 1t now. seems like
ly that the price of cotton seed meal
will continue to be considerably low
er than in recent years, and the
American farmer should therefore
utilize it to advantage to make cheap
gains.
Two causes combine to lower the
price of cotton seed by-products. In
the first place, the cotton crop in the
South this year is good, and in the
next the foreign markets have been
seriously interfered with by the Eu
ropean war. 1t is estimated that this
year 100000 bales of cotton will
be produced in the United States.
This should yield 6,680,000 tons of
seed. All this, of course will not be
crushed, but if last years proportions
hold good again about 100000 tons
of cotton seed meal will be availa-
Bile. Last year approximately AGO.
600 tons were sent abroad. Under
present conditions it is not probable
that anything like this quantity will
be exported this year, and as the
cotton crop is larger than before it
is safe to assume that the quantity
of cotton seed meal on the home mar
ket will be 100000 tons more than
last year. This situation has already
resulted in substantial drop in the
price Of cotton seed by-products. Cot
ton seed meal can now be bought in
the South at prices ranging from $22
to $24 per ton instead of $27 to $9l
demanded last year. An even great
err decrease has taken place in the
price of cotton seed hulls, which are
now selling at $3.50 to $3.50 ton
instead of 81 to 50 ton.
At these prices cotton seed meal Is
SIS per ton cheaper
than Iinseed meal, and in addition its
feeding value is a trifle higher 1t
seems obvious, therefore, that the
cattle feeder all over tue country
should utilize cotton seed meal to a
far greater extent than he has done
in the past.
This meal is very rich in protein,
and it is usually considered that its
feeding value is at least twice that
of corn. In other words, 1 pound Of
cotton seed meal is equal to 2 pounds
of corn for feeding cattle. A small
portion of cotton seed meal has an
even greater relative value where the
ration would otherwise be composed
entirely of feeds high in carbohy-
drates, such as corn, corn slower and
timothy hay. This is extremely i'm
portant to cattle feeders throughout
the corn belt and other states where
much corn is fed. In Indiana for
example, it was found that the addi-

The people of the South are facing
this issue: Shall we have prosperity
or ruin in the South. The result Is
largely in our own hands Now is the
time to act The great European war
has cut off the demand for cotton by
one-third. To put the entire crop on
the market means disastrous prices.
store for IL year if necessary the one
third of the crop for which there is
no demand. Cut down the 1915
acreage One-third if the war is over
and Onc-half if it is not over by the
planting season of 1915. The other
two-thirds can then be sold for more
than the entire crop will otherwise
bring. The issue is plain: Shall we
throw away four or five million
bales of cotton, or shall VIC store it,
and raise 200, 100000 to $500 .OOO. 900
worth of grain and other crops on
that 100000 acres which would be
necessary to grow this cotton in 1915
Can we be SO short sighted as not I,

Candidates i'm Home Counties.

In the primary last Tuesday Mr..
richards led in twelve counties.
Mr.. Manning led i'm seventeen coun-
ties.
Mr.. Richards lost his own county
and. though it is to be remembered
that there was another candidate for
governor from that county, it is also
to be remembered that in 1912 the
county had voted in favor of the
state administration.
Mr.. Richards received in Kershaw
county last Tuesday 734 votes; Mr..
M. l.. Smith received 1.246. Kcrshaw,
however. pOlled SAG other votes that
Richards did not get. Mr.. Richards
received less than one third of the
votes in Kcrshaw.
Mr.. Irby, an administration candi-
date. received in Kershaw 223 votes
nearly one-third as many as Rich
ards received.
In Laurens county Mr.. Irby's home,
Mr.. Richards received only As votes
10 1882 for Mr.. Irby--although Mr..
irby was far behind Mr.. Cooper, lust
as Mr. richards was far behind Mr..
M. l.. Smith.
In other words, Mr.. Irby received
nearly ONE-TIiltD as many votes in
Mr.. Richards county as MIR. Richards
received but Mr.. Richards received
only ONE TWENTY SEVENTH as
many i'm Mr.. Irby's county as Mr.. Irby

but politically he is not the exponent
OF that which Is best for the people

the fact that Mr.. Richards already

commissioner for four years longer
where he can render valuable services
