Southern Bankers
 Finance Planters

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 15.-At a convention of the bankers Of this state, held here during the past week, the meeting having adjourned yesterday it was decided that the banking interests of the state will finance the cotton planers in their efforts to harvest this years crop IL was also decided that, while the money for the entire crop of the state would not be put up, the bank CTS will finance the planters to such an extent that they will suffer no inconvenience while they are at tending to the gradual marketing of their cotton.
 The action of the bankers in of ferine aid to the planters, has been received with gratitude throughout the state. Last year the cotton planters of the state suffered greatly in financial way by reason of the fact that they could not marke; their crop. The war in Europe was blamed for that condition of affairs, as Germany, the chief consumer of southern cotton. was cut off from the shipping of the rest of the world shortly after it started.
 In financing the state wide cotton movement, the convention of bankers expressed itself as being confident that the war will soon end. Other arguments put up by prominent bankers who attended the conven- tion were that now that other na- tions are unable to obtain cotton manufactured cloth and other articles from Germany, they are learning to manufacture them themselves, and as a consequence the price of south ern cotton will gradually raise

ENGLAND TO PAY DAMAGES
For Americans Who Were Shot i'm
Canada Recently.

Washington, Jan. 7.-The United
States to-day sent formal note to
Great Britain through Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
requesting the punishment of those
guilty of killing Walter Smith and
wounding Charles Dorsch, two Amer
leans who were shot by Canadian mi
ltiamen at Fort Eric, Ontario, while
hunting ducks in alleged violation of
the Canadian game laws.
The communication was Of a
friendly character and pointed out
that not only did the United States
government expect the offenders to
be punished, but that adequate COM
pensation be given the victims fami-
lies.
Coincidentally with the sending of
the note Secretary Bryan received a
personal memorandum from the Brit
lsh ambassador here, after which the
Secretary said:
The British government, without
deciding the question of liability, will
consider the payment of damages to
the injured man and the family of
the deceased"

MEMORIAL.

TO the Legislature for 1915-
Gentlemen:
We think the resolution of the
1914 Legislature an insult to every
County Board of Pensions in South
Carolina. At any rate, we Of Oconee
served in our county for many years
and have received for our services
the cXorbitant salary of 81 per day,
but not to exceed five days; there
fore, we get $40 each year I'm money,
and at least $1,000 in abuse from
those who fail to get on the pension
roll, and those on the roll because
they do not get more than they re-
Ccive; and now, for the Legislature
to have to pass a concurrent reSolu-
tion that these statistics must be
gotten up by them without further
compensation is at least an outrage.
The Confederate veteran gave four
years Of his time, and many gave
their lives, and some their limbs,
without compensation, and then for
Legislature to say he must do this
much more without compensation is
humiliating to him, for he is always
willing, and takes pleasure in doing
anything to help his old comrades if
he is on the Pension Board or not.
But suppose the Legislature had
wanted that much information on
some other line by which politics
could be aided: They would at once
have created a new office and have
had a commissioner elected at a sal
ary of several thousand dollars per
annum; but they know the Confede-
rate veteran is 70 or more years old,
and they are getting scarce and can
not vote in many more elections
Therefore, if we want to find out any
| thing regarding him. he must get it
up himself, and that without COM
pensation.

TO PROTECT OCEANIC TRADE.
England Takes Steps to Avoid UnneC-
eSsary DclayS-COntrabm

Washington. Jan. 7.-Great Brit
ain, Italy and The Netherlands have
reached an agreement whereby COM
merce to the latter two countries
from the United States is expected to
meet with a minimum Of moleStatiOn.
Great Britain, according to state
mentS from bOth the British embassy
and state department, also has taken
steps to remedy some OF the com
plants made by the United States in
its recent protest.
The statements indicated that so
far as Italy and Holland are con-
cerned, the British government now
believes the danger of getting con-
traband articles through to Germany
and Austria has been removed.
Should effective measures be agreed
on between the allies and the other
European neutrals British officials
believe American commerce in future
will not be subject to delays and in
reference.
American Minister Van Dyke, at
The Hague, cabled to-day that the
British, French and Russian minis
tcrs had given formal assurance that
character, would not be molested on
the high seas if consigned TO the re-
Gently established Netherlands mo-
nopoly.
Secretary Bryan received per-
sOnal note from Sir Cecil SPRING
Rice, the British ambassador, stating
that inasmuch as the re-cxportation
Of naval stores probably would be
prohibited by Italy and Holland, ar
rangements would soon be completed
whereby these products could be
shipped without difficulty to those
countries from the United States.
The British ambassador also issued
the following statement:
shipments for Italy in Italian
steamers of goods placed on the en-
barge list Of the Italian government
and consigned to named persons are
free.
ARTICLES for Holland (apart from
copper, petroleum and grain, except
rice and corn,) which must be con-
signed to The Netherlands govern
ment, should be consigned to The
Netherlands Overseas Trust to insure
nOn-interference.
