New Dances.

San Francisco, June 9.-The COM
ing dances will be a compromise be-
tween the old and the new. II will
be recognition of all the accented
standard dances, with the glide as the
outstanding feature.
This was the declaration made bv
members of the International Associ-
alton of Masters of Dancing before
they went into secret session to dis
cuss the proposed new steps. These
will combine the best features of the
modern school, blended with the
grace OF the waltz and two-step.
According to Professor Puckett. one
of the leading delegates, the tango is
absolutely dead.
ut couldn't be revived today if we
wanted it again." said Puckett.
The new dances will not permit
any movement of the shoulders State
~ gracefulness is the main requisite
of the ballroom this year. The tango
was old in the year 400 and cannot
be called new dance"
The closing feature of the conven-
ton will be a grand ball at which all
the new dances and the standardized
old dances will be taught.

WHEAT CHROP IS
GREATEST KNOWN

Washington, June 9.-The greatest
wheat crop the country ever has known
is in prospect for the coming harvest
In its forecast today, based ON the
condition of winter and spring wheat
on June |, the federal crop reporting
board places the prospective wheat
crop at 950,000,000 bushels, which
would exceed last years record cror
by 59,000,000 bushels. With continued
good growing conditions, the crop
might reach a billion bushels. Of the
great winter wheat crop, the bulk is
from winter wheat planted last fall
en- the greatest acreage ever sown.
The yield of that class of wheat is
placed at 676,000,000 bushels. which
would be 100000 bushels under last
years record crop. OF spring wheat,
274,000,000 bushels are forecast. That
amount would be 56,0O0,0O0 bushels
under the record crop of 1912, but
greater, however, than last year and
the year before.
Oats planted this spring was on tn
greatest area ever soWn to that crop.
exceeding last years area by almost
100000 acres. The forecast of the
oats crop places it at 1,28S, 100000
bushels, which is more than harvested
last year or in 1913, but 100000
bushels less than the record crop Of
1912.
The barley crop, from present indi-
cation, will be second in point of size.
with 197,000,000 bushels, which would
be 26,OOO,000 bushels less than the
1912 record crop, but more than grown
last year of in 1913.

Retaliation Would be Effective.
functions.

England's contemplated action IN de-
claring raw cotton contraband and pre-
venting it's delivery to neutral nations
has had very depressing effect upon
business and is likely to cause loss OF
dollars to the cotton growers. 1t Eng
land persisteutly turns a deaf ear to
every sppeal to reason, could we not
force a reconsideration by keeping
from England needed foodstuff's and
munitions of war?
A few days ago a dispatch was sent
from Liverpool to a large Chicago pack
ing house asking for prices on l,Wo,-
OJO head of beef cattle, which shows
that England must look to America for
food products as we'll as for the actual
munitions of war. How can England
reasonably expect US to furnish her
with these necessities when she is ar
bitrary in her rules governing the ship
ment of our other products, notably
cotton, to neutral nations? Unless Eng
land relents or reconsiders her action
with reference to our raw cotton, 1T
would be but just to say to her
that she can not get the raw cotton and
other supplies she needs from US? This
would at once bring results. She would
not wait to see if we really meant to
enforce the threat. Enland is not a
producer, :but altogether dependent
upon the outside world, chiefly America,
for her everyday necessities. Retalia-
ton would soon bring England TO
sane and sensible view of the cotton
situation.

Equal Pay For Women.

The State of Illinois is the first, we
believe, to deal justly with women by
requiring the payment of equal com
pensation with that of men where equal
service is rendered. The wonder is that
this manifest injustice has existed SO
long, and now that one State has taken
co enhance of the injustice others will
likely follow. AS teachers, stenogra-
pliers, kookkeepers and in sundry
other positions young women who work
along with men and who are just a:
capable and efficient as the men re-
ceive less compensation than men. In
some instances the true value of women
is appreciated and suitable compensa-
ton given, but in the vast majority of
cases women have been imposed upon.
The manifest injustice should not
longer exist.

Presidents Troubles.

Mexico continues to be veritable
witches cauldron of trouble with no
prospect of Improvement unless the
warning factions take heed to the
friendly warning and advice of Presi-
dent Wilson. The president, blythe
way, does not find office bed OF roses
by any means, and he will not so long
as world conditions are as they are.
All the more reason, therefore, that ne
should have the moral and active sup.
port of the whole nation. In internal
matters may rightly disagree, but when
it comesto the relation of this nation
with outside nations, especially in the
present crisis, the nation speaks as
one, and, if necessary it will act as
one---Orangeburg Times and Demo

Conflicting Statements.

Germany sends out word that through
science and invention she is now inde-
pendent of cotton altogether in the
manufacture of war material. This
does not jingle with the recent report
ed orders for a census Of all cotton
and cottons, even to clothing. We had
been led to believe that Germany con-
templated tearing up her cotton clothes
for the powder mill, but maybe it is
not quite so bad as that. .---Greenvlile
