pulsed in their attempt to
break the allied line from the
north and overwhelm Dun
kirk. the Germans are today
trying to break through from
the direction Of Lille and Mo-
min. Very strong forces Of
German infantry, supported
by Austrian and German ar
tillery, mounted on heavy mo-
tor trucks, are pressing for
ward along the main highways
from these points. They are
encountering spirited resist
ance however and 50 far have
failed to make any headway.
Dunkirk is absolutely es-
sential to the German war
plans, the military experts
here say.
Because they realize this
fact, the British and French
general staff members have
taken such steps that it is
positively declared here the
fall Of the fortified channel
port is impossible. Not only
are the infantry and artillery
posted at the various strategy
cal points all around the city,
but British and French war
ships are off the coast between

S. G. MILLS TO RESUME
FULL TIME WORK

That the head of large system of
cotton mills in this state had ordered
from the North resumption OF full
TIME operation was reported here on
unimpeachable. authority today.
Steadiness of the cloth market and
improvement of trade conditins with
South America was described as tn"
cause.
The cloth market during the week
has shown each day increasing stead
mess, and the demand is better. With
the farmers absolutely refusing to
sell their staple to spectators, whicn
is shown by receipts closely approach
ing none, those mills which have con
tinued full or interrupted operations
are said to hae practically exhausted
their stocks f raw material. With
the demand for manufactured cotton
good, practically all the ray material
at the mills exhausted and no cotton
on the market, the mills face the ne
cessity resuming operation and of
purchasing cotton.
Upon the consumption by the mills
OF this country depends the relief OF
the producer, and this report afforded
particular encouragement to leaders
in the fight to save the farmers
finances, they declared. 1t would
pfean the turning into trade chanels
of hundreds of thousands OF dallars'
worth of products and the placing in
TO Southern circulatin an equal
amount of currency.

Pleasant Valley, Sept 17.-At an

bers of the club hold their cotton seed
for 30 days, and it is probable that

hold their cotton as long rs possible
The "Buy-a-bale" movement was
endorsed and the club was almost
unanimous in advocacy of a law
limiting the cotton acreage of pro-
duction next year. 1t was decided TO
give 40 cents per hundred for pick
ing unless the price advanced to 10
cents per pound.

that he can buy cotton now cheaper
than he can raise it next year, on
Monday bought / ; bales on the Fort
Mill market at ~ cents per pound.
