If it is really the purpose Of the Brit
ish government to seize all cotton in
tended for Germany and pay for it at
contract prices, we are disposed to sus-
pect that there is a reason underlying
the mere matter Of hampering the Ger
mar need for the staple. One such rea-
son, entirely sufficient in our estima-
ton, would be in pursuance Of a policy
that contemplates the accumulation of
as much of the present crop Of cotton
as possible as a fertilization against
future contingencies. Under conditions
as they now exist throughout the
world, it is easily possible that within
the next twelve months, cotton may be
the most valuable commercial commod-
ity in existence. There is nothing in
the situation as we see it to warrant an
individual producer to undertake to
speculate on such a contingency; but
still what has been suggested could
easily come to pass.

The effect Of the "gallon-a-month
law" Is becoming quite noticeable al
ready, and the outlook is that tigers
will soon begin to raise prices.
II has become apparent that there is
no bluff about the proposed reduction
in the use Of fertilizers. Very few
farmers are using a. much fertilizers
as heretofore, and part Of them are
cutting down to so per cent, rs per cent
and some none at all.
Mr.. w. W.. Stanton of r. F. D. No. 8,
has received q bill Of lading for Beth
els half Of the seed consignment from
Norway for the benefit Of hail suffer-
ers. The contributions consist mainly
Of corn and cotton seed, about a quar-
ter Of a ton Of the latter and something
like a ton Of the former. Ebenezer's
portion of the consignment is in the
the hands Of the Rock Hill chamber of
commerce.

The story Of the sinking of the
Dresden in Cumberland bay, off the
shore of the island of Juan Fernan-
dez, is to be taken as evidence that
Great Britain is not considering the
rights of anybody where her interests
are concerned. OF course Chile can
not help herself in a matter like this,
and maybe the United States will not
consider it her business to interfere;
but it is quite certain that the people
Of this country are not going to be
very enthusiastic over such high
handed proceedings.

DISCOUNT OF LABOR CHECKS

Governor Manning has signed In act
passed at the recent session Of the gen.
eral assembly prohibiting the discount

actual par value at and in which said
trade check is payable, shall be guilty
Of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine of
not exceeding 500 or by Imprisonment
not exceeding 30 days.
Sec. 2. That any person, firm or cor
poration who shall acquire any such
trade check for less than its trade
value shall have no right to collect and
enforce the payment thereof.

ate by Senator Spigner Of Richland
county.

- Further progress this season in the
remarkable development Of the cotton
seed products industry vas indicated
in yesterdays census bureaus report
on cottOnseed crushed and linters OBJ
tanned from the 1914 crop. A greater
quantity Of seed than ever before was
crushed. exceeding the 1911 record
crop c%rushings by 572.S26 tons. and a
record was established in the number
Of bales of linters obtained. which
totaled 146,117 bales more than last
year. The number Of cottonseed oil
mills operated was 800, an increase of
10. As 70 or IS per cent Of the total
production OF cottonseed is crushed an
nually, it is estimated the 1914 pro-
duction Of seed will reach 10000 10
tons. It's value has not been estimated
but the 1913 production. 1903. 600
tons. had n total value Of $155 500. 900
in oil. cake and meal. hulls and lint
ers. The closer delinting Of cotton
seed has resulted in a largely increas-
cd production Of linters. Cottonseed
crushed from the 1914 crop was s.
493, S99 tons. against 4,767.S02 for 1913,
and 4.579,50S for 1912. the census hu-
reau announced yesterday.

The problem at Washington now is
what to do about the British deter
mination to hold up neutral ships
wherever they may be found, and In
case they carry cargoes or consign-
ments Of freight for Germany, to take
the same and pay for 1t or confiscate
it as may appear most expedient in the
discretion of British officers. This
new and unprecedented development
grows out Of the fact that the modern
torpedo boat makes the old time block
aiding hazardous II not altogether i'm
possible. international law" recog-
nizes a blockade" only when 1t Is eff
fective. That is the b%lockading power
must place around the port it proposes
to blockade enough ships to keep all
other ships out. If a neutral vessel sees
proper to take the risk and succeeds in
getting by a blockade. there is no
ground for complaint on the part of
the would-be blockaders. But England
realizes that she cannot afford to string
a lot Of warships around a German
port and subject them to the danger Of
being blown sky high by means Of tor
pedoes from submarines. Because OF
this condition; because England finds
her navy inadequate for the particular
work that has heretofore been required
of navies, neutrals are told that their
commerce will be held up and subject
ed to examination on the high seas, and
that if her ships carry anything that
England does not think they should
carry, they will either confiscate such
articles or sieze and pay for them. 1t
is not difficult to appreciate the straits
to which England has been put in the
matter, Of course; but then the situa-
ton involves humiliations that this
country will hardly be able to bear.
What will be done remains for future
developments.
