The big breaks and high prices on
the Sumter tobacco market have en-
cited the envy of competing ware
housemen and false reports are being
circulated among tabacco farmers in
sections tributary to this and other
markets. Farmers having tobacco on
the warehouse floor today stated that
reports had been generally circulated
during the last few days that the
Sumter market had gone to pieces
that few buyers were left here and
that prices were down to the bottom
notch. The circulators of these reports
urged the farmers not to bring their
tobacco to Sumter. The reports are

able Extent i'm Emergency.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE war de-
facturers of war supplies what service
the United States could expect from
them in case of emergency.
With virtually every private plant
in the country taxed to it's capacity
filling orders from the European bel
ligerents army officials want to know
whether expansion OF facilities has
kept pace with the demand and
whether the government would be GER
tain of a source of supply to supple
ment the output of its own arsenals
and armories.
Government factories produce only
part of the arms and ammunition
for the army. Measures to strengthen
the national defense during the COM
ing session of congress are expected
to result in vastly increased demands
for supplies aside from any emerg-
ency that may arise.
This statement was issued by the
department today explaining it's ac-
tivities:
Recognizing the fact that the
arsenals would be unable to produce
an adequate supply Of war material
to meet an emergency of war; it has
been the practice of the government,
both in time of peace as we'll as i'm
war, to purchase from private estab-
lishments a considerable part of war
material required. This policy makes
it necessary for the ordnance depart
ment to obtain from these establish
ments from time to time information
as to their ability and their capacity
to produce various classes of such ma
terial.
Such extraordinary changes and
unprecedented expansion Of the faciIi-
ties of the American manufacturers
have resulted from the demands for
material by the warning nations of
Europe, particularly for the produc-

ton. that it has been necessary for
the ordnance department recently to
correspondingly increase it's activity
to keep in touch with this industrial
development. 1t is probable that the
expansion noted has not ceased, but
officials believe that stage has been
reached which renders desirable a.

The war department expressly

referred to. as it has no special funds
which may be used for such a pur-
pose"

Washington. Aug. 11.-Gen Car
rama, through his Washington agents.
today notified Secretary Lansing that
the Mexican people view with dis.
pleasure" any attempt tending to frus-
trate the success of Carranza's armed
forces. Carranza's message referred
to the Pan-American conference and
was taken to signify he would not
agree with it's action toward Mexican
affairs.
Carranza's communication delivered
by his Washington agent, Eisio Ar
redondo, was regarded as little less
than n defiance of the United States,
CarranZa also sent a similar notifi-
cation to the diplomatic representa-
tives of all the Latin-American re-
publics participating in the Mexican
conference, saying that any attempts
between them and the American gov
ton of Mexico would involve an act
which could not be looked upon with
levity, as it would mean on the part
Of the Latin-American nations the
acceptance of the precedent that they
can take part in any internal affairs
Of sister nation with the coopera-
ton of the United States, something
absolutely undesirable, not only in
so far as it may affect the relations
between the Latin-American nations
themselves, but also because it might
involve the moral support of any
future decisions which grow out of
similar conferences"
In his letter to Secretary Lansing,
Arredondo expressed surprise that
the Pan-American conference had un-
dertaken to devise plan for the
pacificatiOn Of Mexico and stated that
reports to this effect "have caused the
constitutional government to feel just
ly alarmed"
Mr.. Carranza and the persons who
cooperate with him." said the letter,

treated her without the slightest sue
cess. A sample of your swamp Root
hfving been left at the house at the

agreed with her stomach | continued
using it with gratifying results The
inflammation began to subsde after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bot
tie. and after she took two large bot
Z ties she was pronounced cured by the
doctor and has been in good health ever
! since. The doctor came to see her ev-
gerry day and examined, her evary Sec
ond day until he pronounced her kid
neys in perfect condition.
Now then the doctor was under the
impression that l was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do bit of good, and desiring
not to offend him. l did not tell him |
was giving her swamp Root and he did
not know the difference. T did not use
one drop of his medicine after | started
my girl on Swamp Root. and have al
ways felt that Dr. Kilmer's swamp
Root saved my girls life, for which I
am grateful.
