In the Americus market toGay cot

it is needless to state that the bales

the staple can be marketed. Fully hal1
the cotton crop of Sumter, it is esti :.

Germans Moving Slowly.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Military activ-
itv on the eastern front is again as
suming familiar phase because of
the slow German advance.
The German plan to divide the
Russian armies north and south of
Pripet has been partially successful
The immediate effect, though, was to
throw the increased burden ON the
Austrians who do not seem able to
check the drive of the Russians.
Unofficial Petrograd dispatches
state that the latest Russian victory
northwest of Dubno is more important
than the official statement from Petro-
grad indicates.
This movement involves the recap
ture of the fortress Lutsk, northwest OF
Grodno. The Austrians are said to
have retreated across the Stry here.
The Russians are holding the line
stubbornly from Riga to Pripet. The
fighting is particularly severe to the
southeast of wilma, and east OF
Dyinsk 1t is believed generally that
,be Germans are determined to capture
RIGA before winter sets in.

GEE! THE WHISPERS
BACK IN STYLE

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 24.-There are
rumors here that whiskers are com
ing back. The war in Europe seems
destined to have the same effect tha:
the civil war had on the faces of the
male population. War seems conduc-
i've to whiskers. Not only do whiskers
look warlike, but the inconvenience OF
shaving in the trenches puts a prem
ium on boards, and when the heroe,
are the ones who have been in the
/ trenches, others unconsciously suit
their appearance to hook as much like
the heroes as possible.
In some cases boards are a goo |
thing. There is no question that it is
help on the man whose chin flows in
to his Adams apple without any ap
parent dividing line. It is true that
some men are so homely that whiskers
cover up enough of his face so that j!
is safe for him to enter jewelry store
without stopping all the clocks. But
these are the exceptions that prove the
rule, and if the beard does not come
back, it will be one of the evils of war
This is an age of clean shaven men
generally speaking.
