Sidna Allen Estate Sold.

A despatch from Bristol, Tenn,
Sunday to The Charlotte OBJ
server says that with the sale at
public auction at Hillsville, Va,
Saturday of the Sidna Allen es-
tate, practically the last vestige
of property accumulations that
were once the property of the
Hlllsville Aliens had passed from
the people bearing that name.
The Sidna Allen estate consisted
of handsome mountain mansion
and tracts of mountain land ag-
gregating 400 acres, valued at
upwards of $4,000. Sold under
the hammer, it did not bring
much in excess of the indebted
ness protected under the deed of
trust. The amount due in court
fees, attorneys claims and for
agreed judgments for damages
on account of the men killed
was about Sis. coo.

GOVERNMENT MONEY
WILL AID the FARMERS

Secretary McAdoo was on
Tuesday prepared to extend aid
to the Southern cotton growers
to enable them to dispose of
their product to the greatest ad-
vantage, said a Washington
dispatch.
The secretary announced that
in view of the action of the allies
in making cotton contraband he
was ready, if necessary to take
either one of two courses to help
the cotton producer. One of
these plans is to deposit $780,
600, 900 or more in gold in the
federal reserve banks at At
lanta, Dallas and Richmond to
enable those banks to rediscount
cotton secured by warehouse
receipts made by national and
State banks belonging to the
reserve system. No interest
would be charged OH the de-
posits for the present at least.
The other plan is to deposit
the gold directly with national
banks agreeing to lend the
money on cotton at a rate not to
exceed 6 per cent. The latter
will be used if the object sought
can be accomplished with greater
efficiency thereby.
Secretary McAdoo declared
that if there was cooperation
between the bankers, the mer-
chants and producers the cotton
situation could be handled with
happy results.

Upon hearing the argument
herein, and upon consideration
thereof. we are of the opinion
that the injunction be refused,

BleaSe Will Make Race.

Gov. Blease makes the positive
statement that he will be a can
didate for governor in the cam
paign of 1916, says the New
berry Herald and News. He
says the demands for him to do
so come from all parts of the
State and that they are so strong
he can not afford to deny this
demand from his friends who
have stood by him so many
times. Personally he has no
desire to make the race or to be
governor, because his ambition
in that line has been satisfied
by having served two terms.
But if it is the opinion of his
friends that it is his duty to lead
the people in the fight which is
to be made next year. he can not
give a deaf ear to such call and
he will respond.

COTTON IS COhTRABAhD,
SAYS GREAT BRITAIN

Announcement Saturday that
cotton had been declared abso-
lutte contraband of war by Great
Britain came as no surprise to
official Washington, according to
dispatches. Secretary Lansing
was informally advised by the
British Embassy some time ago
that this action had been de-
cided upon and that formal
announcement was delayed only
pending the arrangement of
details. This included, it is
understood, preparations to pro-
tect the market from the effect
of the announcement and also an
understanding between Great
Britain and her Allies.
While officials would not dis
cuss the subject, it is certain
the United States will protest
against the British action, citing
the previons consistent policy of
Great Britain in holding cotton
free of restraint. The result,
it is expected, will be to draw
out a full explanation of the
reasons behind the British
change of policy. A long course
of diplomatic interchanges un-
doubtedly will follow before an
agreement can be reached, or
the question possibly submitted
to arbitration.
The first direct effect of the
British announcement will be
simplify the discussion over the
orders in council now in prog
ress. Cotton ships have formed
a large percentage of the total
number of craft held up under
the orders. each case involving
much informal debate over ar
rangements for payment by
Great Britain for three cargoes
seized. Each case, also, became
an additional factor in the formal
discussion between the two
Governments, the United States
having steadily maintained that
Great Britain was violating the
accepted rules of international
law In halting commerce between
neutrals, more especially COM
merce in non contraband goods.
1t is understood the British
plan is to steady the cotton mar
ket through actual purchases if
that becomes necessary. Prob
ably cotton factors will be COM
missioned to keep the COM
modify above a fixed minimum
price. Crop conditions this year.
it is said, will make it easier to
maintain prices because open
markets unaffected by the Allies
action are more than able to abb
sorb the entire production.

Horse Drowned in Creek.

j. M. Porter had the mis-
fortune to lose a valuable horse
Saturday morning by drowning.
The driver of his wagon and
another horse had narrow
escape.
Mr.. Porter had started a
wagon load of coca-cola early
for Antioch for the picknickers.
The bridge at Hoole's Fork
recently washed away, since
which time people have been
using the ford. The creek was
not out of the bank and after
making inquiries the driver,
Tommy Johnson, decided it was
safe. Itappeared as if the creek
had washed in the middle and
the current was so swift that
the wagon was turned down
stream and was caught in the
abutrnents of the former bridge.
The driver was unable to swim
and would have been drowned
had not some farm hands near
by heard his cry and gone to his
assistance. They managed to
cut one of the horses loose, but
were unable to save the other
one. Rock Hill Herald.

among state regents and members. a
feeling that the debt question has been
made an unnecessary burden upon
their attention. Members complain that
there have been too many showers

should be left to use what spare funds
they may have or may be able to col

poses of our society.

a routine matter, to be cared for as an
