A Senseiess Waste.

Now that the time for sorghum
making is on again, it is appropriate
to cell attention to a senseless waste
thet has heretofore been constantly
practiced, and which may as well be
stopped.
The ENQUIRER has referred to the
matter before; but it has been at times
that were not exactly seasonable for
adequate remedies.
Why are the cane pummies wasted?
1t used to be that the molasses max
ers knew nothing better to do with
cane pummies than to leave them ly-
ing at the mill, or If ~perchance n
pummies were in the way there, to
haul them to the fields and use them
in an effort to stop the washing Of
gullies.
1t is better Of course to use the cane
pummies in the gullies than it is to
allow them to go completely to waste;
but there Is a better use THAI that Tor
them.
Who of the ane grinders has not
seen the COWS, in the dead Of winter,
burying their heads in piles Of cane
pummies to their shoulders, and eat
ing every scrap they can get that has
not been too badly spoiled by expos
ure.
Just what is the best way to take
care Of the cane pummies we do not
know; but rather than leave them in
unprotected heaps, or rather than
throw them in gullies, we believe 1t
would be better to put them up in COW
cred pens, or pile them in stacks like
hay.
1t seems a strange thing to us that
a farmer would employ the labor of
himself, his hired help and his teams
in cutting, curing and housing Means
grass or something like that, and let
ting his pummies, which are already
conveniently piled up, and as good
roughness as Means grass or any other
kind of grass, go to waste.
According to our notion cane pun
mics might be used to advantage for
filling silos; but whether they are de-
sirable for this or not, there is un-
questionably some way by which they
can be utilized to al advantage that
would be better than leaving them lie
in the weather.

Russia's participation. The indica-
tons were tonight that munitions
would be excluded. Two other ways
for paying for munitions are open:
Payment in gold to be shipped to the
United States from abroad, or pay
ment by the sale in this market Of
American securities owned in Great
Britain and France. 1t was a to be
within the range of possibilities that
a separate credit loan would be es-
tablished to provide for munitions,
but this was regarded as unlikely.
Whether Russian will participate in
the loan will depend. it is said, wholly
on the conference at London by the
British chancellor of the eXchequer.
There will be no definite announcement
Of an agreement tomorrow. This be-
came definitely known tonight. The
situation is regarded as encouraging,
but there are points to be agreed on
that will require some days to settle.
A fortnight more may bring an an
nouncement that both sides have
agreed on all details. The commits
sion will continue Its meetings to-
morrow with American financiers.

We are interested in an editorial
of Sunday, as to pernicious partisan
ship with regard to the European sit
uation. A German sympathizer charg-
ed the Observer with sympathy for the
Allies, and the editorial was written
in reply. Among other things the OBJ
server calls attention to the fact that
partisans of each side have accused it
Of being in sympathy with the other
side. 1t is not to be understood that
the Observer is worried by any Of
these accusations. 1t does not conSid-
er the matter from that standpoint; it
merely sets forth the efforts it is MAX
ing to be fair and emphasizes and
points out with clear cut, out inoffen-
sive logic, how the partisan of either
side is unable or unwilling to tolerate
fairness. In this connection we want
to say that absolutely disinterested
fairness is a rare quality in the best
of men, including the ableSt judges or
the ableSt Of newspaper editors. There
are those who want to be fair; but as
great as their desire along hal line
may be, they will make mistakes,
sometimes through errors of judg-
ment, sometimes through misconcep-
ton of facts, and sometimes from 9TH
err causes. But of all the newspapers
that come to this office we do not
know one that is fairer in all things
than this anne Charlotte Observer.
We try to be fair, and whenever we
realize that we have not been, we are
more or less veXed about it. Some
times we are mole or less veXed with
ourselves Oh realizing that the Char
lOtte Observer has beer able to be
fairer with regard to a given PROPOSE
ton than we nave been. We find our
selves feeling almost like that fellow
who wanted to Danish Alcibiades be-
cause, II am tired of hearing people
refer to him as the Just" With re-
gard to the European question, the
Observer strikes us as being Il SYM
pathizer with neither party; but rath-
er intensely American. We are inclin-
ed to think it condemns many things
that both sides are doing, with regard
to each other: but we have noted no
disturbance of its fighting spirit eX-
ccpt when one side or the other COM
mitS an offenSe against the United
States. And if III judgl lent is of any
value in the matter, we will say that

Take it Is we may, the liquor ques-
ton is hard to manage, and if we ex-
pect to sell liquor, either as private in
dividuals or as a government, in such a
manner as to get rid of the evils insep-
arabic from such traffic, we are very
great fools. There is no doubt in our
mind hat the dispensary plan furnish
es as good a way to deal with liquor
as a be devised, except by doing
with the traffic entirely, and If
the temperance people and our law
makers have any other idea in getting
control of the liquor traffic than to
eventually blot it out altogether, all
we have to say is may God help our

Of the Clover school that the Junior
Order wanted the Bible read in the
school often in order that the children
might get inspiration therefrom. He
hoped the trustees Of the Glover
school would encourage the children
to seek a closer knowledge Of the
Bible, a book in which the greatest
examples Of loyalty and friendship
are to be found.
After the rendering Of a second Sc
lection by the choir, James c. Hardin,
to present the Stars and Stripes on
behalf of the Glover Juniors, was in
troduced. He was proud to be a
member Of the fraternity, he said. The
order was doing a great work in pre-
senting a flag and Bible to schools
throughout the country. The object
Of the Junior Order, said Mayor Har-
din, is to inspire liberty, virtue and
patriotism.
The stability Of our country, con-
tinued the speaker, demands educa-
ton. Society Graves 1t. We must ed
ucate and elevate our children. Around
us here are the greatest opportunities
we can find anywhere. There Is
much to do, much to acquire. The
lives Of Lincoln, Garfield and others
should inspire the boys and girls Of
the Glover school and Of other schools
to do better things. Who knows but
what this flag which I shall present the
Glover school shall float over the head
of a future Lincoln, Mckinley or a
Wilson. 1t ought to instill within the
breast Of every pupil Of the Glover
school a desire and determination to
become a good and useful citizen.
The Junior Order has done well in
pointing out that education does more
than train the mind, said DR.. E. w.
Pressly, chairman Of the board Of
trustees Of the Glover school, who ac-
cepted the gifts Of the order in behalf
Of the trustees and patrons. These
things, he continued, pointing to the
flag and Bible on a table, are not Of
great intrinsic value. It Is often the
case that little things are not little.
The Bible Is Of peculiar appropriate
ness when presented to a school. Were
every other textbook in the world
lost, no poor scholar could be develop
ed II he depended on the Bible for his
textbook.
The flag, he said, has been our pro-
lection for many years In blessing
ourselves we will bless hat flag as
we'll. In behalf Of the trustees, the
patrons and scholars he desired to re-
turn thanks to the Glover Leaf Coun-
ell for their gifts.
At the conclusion Of the speakers
address the audience repaired to the
front yard of the school and there
watched the flag as 1t was raised to
the top Of the staff over the school
building. There was hearty ap-
plause as it caught the breeze and
waved triumphantly over the COM
modious building.

In a speech in Raleigh last nigh

In a speech in Raleigh last night,
Hon. w. P. G.. Harding, chairman of
the Federal reserve board, said: ut
is no longer a secret that there is a
broad foreign demand for cotton.
Estimates now range from 10000, 900
to IL, 900, 900 bales, and a price of IL
cents looks less improbable tonight
than 10 cents did a month ago."
Those of our readers who are not
aware Of the fact, will please be re-
minded hat Mr.. Harding is virtually
at the head of the American financial
system, and he would not speak
lightly about such a grave matter as
this.

There is a growing feeling in the
big business interests Of the country
that Charleston is to become the most
seaport on the South At

the nearest Atlantic port to the Pan

There are those who think that the
Charleston people will be slow to de-

veloped anyway and she will not be
long about it. And let us all hope

Charleston will have its effect on the

Of all the indications OF resentment we

in the Observer, against one side or
the other of the European belliger-

a better price. It has been stated re-
Gently by persons who are in a position
to know, that the great majority Of
the cotton which has been sold in

which had to be sold to satisfy press

The concensus of opinion is that
cotton will continue to bring a good
price throughout the fall and winter
and that this community will see no
such stringent period as vas expert

The fact, however, that 1916 is presidential year, and that the state convention must be held in time to elect delega- tes to that important meeting, may defeat the plans of those who would change the time of holding the primaries.It is prob able that the State Central Committee will be called to meet late in November or early in December to decide the question.

 STATE CAPITAL CIRCLES

are mobolizing along the en- tire front.
 The appointment of Wallace Davis has given a different as- pect to the race for Attorney General. He has not yet said whether he will be in the con- test for the nomination, and his decision may have a direct bearing upon the action of John D. Arbuckle and M. P. Huddle- ston. Two others who have said they will run are X. 0. Pindall and Lewis Rhoton of Little Rock.
 There will be only two can didates for Superintendent of Public Instruction, J. L. Bond and J. w. Kuykendall. Both of them are already active in a quiet campaign of the State.
 For Secretary of State, Tom J. Terrall of Union county, for two terms secretary of the sen- ate, is making quiet tbstactive campaign. Of the many men, toned in connection with the office it appears at this time that the only other candidates will be Jim Higgins of Conway chief clerk of he House for sev- eral sessions, and Representa- tive Y. A Beeson.
 John H. Page has announced for third term as Commissioner of Agriculture, and is opposed by Sam Samson, of Amity, who ran for Congress two years ago, against w. $. Goodwin.
 An interesting race is prom ised for Auditor of State. Dr. M. r Dickinson, who is serving the uneXpired term of L. L. Coffman, by appointmentofthe governor, will be a candidate for the nomination. Sheriff Ho- gan Oliver of Ashley county, and County Judge E. M. Me- Mccall of Ouachita County, have announced as candidates, and H. C. Mccain of Little lock who made a credita ble race against Mr. Coffman two years ago, has said that he will be in the running.
 So far, no opposition has been announced to Associate Justice Carol D. Wood, who has been on the bench since 1893, al- though several names have been mentioned.
 State Treasurer Rufus G. Mcdaniel and Land Commis- sioner ". B. Owen have no op- position and none is expected.
