GERMANS :sLACKENING
Petrograd Says Teuton Right Wing is
Unable to Recover.

Petrograd, Oct. ga general slack
ening of German activity has been
noticed along the entire front, Since
the failure Of their successfully be
gun operation against Sventziany, the
German left wing has lost all its ac-
tivity. The right wing, after series
of unsuccessful engagements, has
been unable up to now to recover OF
alter conditions. Consequently the
center, having lost the service OF both
wings, is brought to a deadlock by
the determined Russian resistance.
Military experts explain the Ger
man failure as chiefly due to the abb
sence of reserves To relieve the cav
airy before Sventziany the Germans
have been compelled to shift forces
from the right TANKS Of the armies OF
Gems. Won Eichhorn, Won Scholtz, and
Won Gallwitz over from. $50 to 800
miles of damaged roads.
The Russian position at DVlnsk Is
mistaken. German attempts at an as
sault from Novo Alexandrovsk, their
nearest point to Dvinsk, were repuls-
ed and north of Lake Dristvaity the
violence of the Russian artillery fire
put the Germans to fight.
At Lubtcha, northeast of Novo
Grudok, the Germans almost succeed
ed in crossing to the right bank OF
| the Niemen, but the Russians threw
them back with great loss.

Tribute of Respect.

AT meeting of Camp Dick Ander-
son, the following resolutions were
adopted:
That In the death Of COmrade Thos.
H. Burkett the camp has lost a true
and faithful member, and the county
good citizen. Personally known to
many Of us, we feel his death most
deeply. Imbued with that spirit OF
patriotism that swept the State from
mountain to seaboard in 81 he VOL
unteered among the first troops,
and served in the army Of Northern
Virginia, until disabled ny a serious
wound. Not at all daunted by his
great loss. he accepted the situation
after the war and bent every effort
toward the uubuilding Of our State.
He was fond and loving parent and
possessed Of all ood attributes that
go to make worthy citizen, and
while his surviving comrades deplore
his loss, we bow in humble submis-
sion to the will Of Almighty God.

missioner Replies.

Columbia Jan. 14.-In q telegram =,
John SHELTON Williams, comptroller OF
the currency, John L. McI.aurin, Stat,
warehouse commissioner, said yester
day in substance that the Wade cot.
ton loan plan is of little benefit to the
farmers and bankers Of South Caro-.
lima.
commissioner McLaurin received
the following message from Mr.. Will.
liams:
Letter 9th received. Why is it that
farmers and merchants are no. aya.;-
ing themselves to the advantages of
the cotton fund. which have been of
fered TO them on terms that appear
so favorable both as to time and in
terest rate? This fund is only avail
able to those who may apply for same
prior to February l."
The following is the reply of the
warehouse commissioner:
Your wire. Banks assert they can
not afford to make 6 per cent. invest
ment az required by the l. certificate,
as terms of Wade fund forbid a charge
for arranging loan. The farmer can
borrow only S cents per pound on his
cotton and the local bank has to carry
.one-fourth Of this which makes 3 ga
cents per pound net IN the cotton.
Merchants are afraid that not enough
OF the fund will be used to prevent
expenses. consuming the entire 3 per
cent reserved, which would make the
interest amount to 8 per cent. 1 have
used utmost effort and hope some ar
rangement in line with my letter Of
9Th possible"
Senator McLaurin had been con-
tending that relief should be afforded
under the agricultural section Of the
currency law. where discount of paper
can be made for six months, either
with or without the Endorsement Of a
member bank. The regulation adopt
ed by the board now limits the terms
Of the act itself to 25 per cent of the
capital stock and surplus Of the re-
serve bank. 1t is provided in the act,
however, that by direction Of the
board in Washington any other re-
serve bank in the system can be re-
quired to discount for the Richmond
bank. The telegram from the comp
troller OF the currency is an inquiry as
to why the Wade fund is not being
used in the South. This, In the opin-
ion Of Mr.. McLaurin, emphasizes the
Importance Of the $500, 900 loan fund.

another crop. There is some cotton
still in the fields to be gathered. La
Dor is plentiful and cheap. More
oats than usual has been planted and
some wheat. but not very much. l
haven't heard Of any preparation be-
ing made to plant tobacco, but sup
pose that there will be some plant

reage will be reduced at least SO per
cent.
