"That is delightful news" he re-
turned with frank enthusiasm which
was depressing to his mother.
Mrs. Boyd had nothing more to say.
She watched her son Tod start vigor-
ously at his grapefruit, with vi
vacity which seemed to indicate that
he might finish with the rind. He
drew his eggs theoretically tow ard
him, buttered slice of toast, and fin
islied his breakfast. Suddenly he
looked at his watch.

fore me-" he told her briskly, and feel

with handkerchiefs, he kissed his
mother, and was gone without another
word about Gail! She could have
shaken him in her disappointment
What was the matter with Tod?
Rev. Smith Boyd sang as he went
out of the door, not tune or any set
musical form, but mere unconscious
testing of his voice. It was quite un-
usual for him to sing on the way to
Vedder court, for he devoted his time
to this portion of his duties because
he was a Christian. He had sympa-
thy, more thar enough, and he both
understood and pitied the people of
Vedder court, but, in spite of all his
intense interest in the deplorable con-
dition of humanity's weak and help
less, he was compelled to confess to
himself that he loathed dirt.
Vedder court was particularly per-
feet in its specially this morning. The
oily black sediment on it's pavements
was streaked with iridescence, and

BACK FORM WAR ZONE

DR.. r. H. Crawford, who has been in
the employ of the American Red Cross
society and stationed in a military
hospital at Kasel, Germany, near
Berlin, has arrived in New York. DR.
Crawford is a son Of DR.. T. A. Craw-
ford of Rock Hill. He expects to ar
rive at his home in Rock Hill in a few
days. The following interview with
DR.. Crawford concerning events in the
waf one is reproduced from the New
York Times:
DR.. R. H. Crawford Of Johns Hopkins
University, who has been with the Red
Cross unit in Ober-Silesia, arrived yes
terday at the Vanderbilt. He had to do
with the wounded in the great drive
into Russia. The American nurses at
GleiniZt of whom there are fifteen, are
to be sent into Russia, he says, to
take care Of German wounded pris
oners. and will be stationed at War
saw. A reciprocal arrangement has
been made through the Red Cross, ac-
cording to DR.. Crawford, by which
Red Cross nurses in Russia will be
sent into Germany to care for Russian
wounded there.

serve military hospital in GlenitZ,'
said DIR. Crawford. the wounded
streamed in steadily, four or five
transports a week. A transport train
usually carries between 300 and 400

wounds having been caused for the
most part by shrapnel Of machine
guns. I should say, from what I saw
there, that the Russians were we'll
equipped with machine guns, and that
these inflict terrible losses. -.
Wounded men reached us from ev-
ery battlefield from Riga to Warsaw,
and below. Many Of the wounds were
in a horrible state of infection, the
soldiers sometimes having to walt
three days before being brought to US,
but a surprisingly large number OF
the wounded got out Of the hospital.
probably 65 per cent.
II found among the wounded many
Germans who spoke English. We got
the New York Times, but generally six
weeks late. The wounded Germans
were always begging to see the pic

DAY

AS will be seer and explained in the
advertising columns Of today's En-
quirer, next Thursday is to be OBJ
served as Dollar Day in Yorkville.
The movement is the result Of a
common understanding among the
various merchants to offer special in
ducements on that day; but leaving
each firm free and unhampered to de-
eide oil such inducements as it will
offer.
A perusal Of our advertising pages
will give an interesting impression OF
the way the different firms look at
the matter, and at the same time the
reader will no doubt find bargains
which it will be to his or her interest
to investigate more thoroughly.
1t is understood Of course, that the
Dollar Day" bargains, many OF
which propose to give considerably
more than one hundred cents worth of
goods for a dollar, are for next Thurs
day only, and therefore those who de-
sire to avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunities afforded. will do well to be
OF hand during that day.

baavy decline in the condition OF

A heavy decline in the condition of
the growing cotton crop almost
double the average decline Of the last
ten years, during September, has de-
creased the production prospects
forecast earlier in the eason by al
most a million bales. The department
Of agriculture on yesterday estimated
the crop at 10, $50, 900 equivalent 500
pound bales, which would be the
smallest crop since 1909. In announc-
ing the condition report and produc-
ton estimate, the crop reporting board
made this statement: 1.-The cotton crop
condition declined S.4 points during
the month Of August rs to Sep
TENDER 25. which compared with an
average decline in the same period in
the past ten years Of As points. The
estimated condition of CO.'S per cent
of normal on September rs forecasts a
yield per acre of about 1913 pounds
and a total production (allowing a re-
duction of one per cent from planted
area for ABANDONMENT Of about TO-
$50, 900 bales. Last years production
was 16,135, 900 bales and the 1913 crop
IA, 156, 900. A crop less than II, 200, 900
bales would be smaller than any crop
since 1909. The unusual deterioration
has been due principally to the ex-
tremes of weather conditions; periods
Of excessive rainfall, cold weather and
drought having characterized the sea-
son in most of the cotton belt. Lack
of fertilizer, and poor quality of that
used, has been an unfavorable factor
in the eastern portion Of the belt.
There is little promise of a top crop
except in the northern portions Of the
belt, due to the climatic conditions
and the unusual activity Of the boil
weevil; and where a top crop is setting
in the northern portions of the belt,
the latest report of the crop there
makes realization dependent upon fu-
ture favorable weather and late frost

The firm Of j. P. Morgan & Co..
has charge of the placing of the $780,
600, 900 worth Of S per cent bonds the
British and French governments are
selling in America on a 5 1-2 per cen
basis. The fact that the British and
French governments are having to pay
5 1-2 per cent for money that they
could get at less than 2 per cent a year
ago, is a sufficient intimation Of what
the British financiers think Of British
credit, and it is pretty safe to predict
that when the books are closed on this
transaction the firm Of Morgan & Co..
will have but a small proportion Of the
loan in it's possession. 1t is just as apt
as otherwise to cen ert even its com.

most cases is for some clubmaker to
ask them.

Of The Enquirer Is called to the ease
with which they may pick up a 81
piece dinner set, worth several dollars,
by getting ten new subscribers. more
especially in view Of our unusually
liberal offer to send the paper from
this date to January 1, 1917. for the
price Of a years subscription.
From the best information The En-
quirer can get, the cotton oil mills
are losing from 81 to SO a ton on ev-
cry ton Of cotton seed they buy. The
reason is that the price Of seed has
advanced more rapidly than the price
Of oil, meal and hulls. With most, Of
the mills the situation is quite serious.

looked to me like an uncomplimenary

OF Bethany church, and that had the
responsibility of financing the same,
and knowing Of your kindness in let
ting us have several thousand dollars
when we were in a tight pinch. l feel
that I should say something about this.
The facts are that three dinerent
banks had promised US money at 8
per cent and all Of them a fallen
down upon us before we applied to
you. Just why these n fell Gown

after the breaking out Of the war, and

ried about that time, and II 1t had not
been for your liberality and breadth

We would have done. So far az l
