PRODUCES coLoRED COTTON.
South Carolina Planter Predicts Black
Staple Soon.

Savannah, Ga.-Remarkable results
seem about to be achieved by A. w.
Brabham, of Olar. S. c.. who has sue
ceeded in producing cotton which
ranges in color from snow white to a
deep olive green. The planter asserts
positively that black cotton. sought for
ages by spinners and manufacturers,
is about to be a reality. That the
statement of Brabham is no idle dream
is borne out by the receipt in Savan-
nah of samples of his colored cottons.
The exhibit has been framed and hung
on the walls of the Cotton Exchange,
where 1t has occasioned general in

, Unoffcial reports that a second note
had been started from the Berlin For
eign Office for Washington furnished
about the only basis of optimism in
official quarters, SO far as the sub
marine controversy was concerned.
There was no official intimation that
another communication was on the
way, but the American reply to the
note on the Arabic probably will be
delayed until officials can learn
whether to expect anything additional
from Berlin.
Sharp Reply Expected.
1t may be stated, however, that if
nothing comes in the nature of a modi-
ication of Germany's explanation an
American note will reach Berlin which
will set forth the views of the United
States in a brief and unmistakable
manner.
Germany's declaration that, while
she regrets the loss of Americans, she
recognizes no liability for indemnity,
even if the submarine commander was
mistaken in believing the Arabic YVES
about to attack him, and practically
offering to arbitrate the principle, is
regarded in official circles as leaving
the whole submarine question practi-
cally where it was left by the Berlin
Governments unresponsive attitude
toward the Lusitania negotiations and
in remarkable contravention of the
favorable view which State Depart
ment officials had been led to take by
the statements of the German Ambas-
sador.

Second Note Rumored.

Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided were dis
placed by misgivings. Talk of the pos
sibility of breaking diplomatic rela-
lions was heard again, although this
time it involved both the central pow
ers. on the theory that Austria, after
having her Ambassador practically dis
missed from the country, might stand
with her ally in relations with the
United States.

BERLlN'S ARABIC NOTE
IS DISAPPOINTING
Defense OF U-Boat Comes AS a Shock.
Regarded AS Reputation OF
Won Bernstorff's Pledge
To United States.

Washington.-The sinking Of the
Arabic by German submarine looms
up again as an incident which still
may be denounced by this Government
as a deliberately unfriendly act"
Germany's disappointing and un-
satisfactory explanation of the tor
pedoing of the liner after Count Won
Bernstorff had given assurances that
full satisfaction would be given if it
was established that a German sub
marine sank the ship has strained this
country's friendly relations with Ger
many more toward the breaking point
than ever before, in the belief of off,
cial Washington.

Election of Superintendent.

Several people have requested
that | publish my views on the re-
cent action of the Executive Com
mittee relative to election of
Superintendent of Schools.
Few people will deny that the
ideals of politics are beneath the
ideals of our splendid school sys-
tenn and with that thought in mind
| think our people should keep
them separated. The above fact
is the basis of our rapid strides in
education.
We have a scnool board made
10 Of men who are wide awake to
the best methods and most pro-
g:essive plans in the administra-
lions of school affairs and who are
availing themselves Of every OPP
portunity to be better qualified.
If they have no power over a
Superintendent, that body ought
as we'll be eliminated.
Our aim has been and is now to
give the best opportunity possible
to every child in this parish to be
come educated assuring ourselves
that no preferences be made. This
aim is being religiously enforced
and successfully attained withou
notice and in spite of the selfish
discounted parent, the knocker
and the politician who are evcr
present with their debating. We
feel that we have a sacred task
and we are about it as diligently
as we know how. Above ali we
are thankful that we have with Us
hordes of the best parents in the
world who have the same aim and
who are denying themselves in
order that their children may be
edu Gated.
Put the schools in the hands OF
the politicians and they will use
them to their own ends.
My term expires June both,
1917 unless sooner discharged by
two thirds of the members of the
School Board, and until then |
shall do my best for education in
this parish. | shall not submit
my name as candidate.
Yours for better schools,
L. K. HUDSON.

'Graustark', the Story Of Love
Behind Throne.

He offered to lay down his life
for the woman he loved!
No greater test of man than
this can be made. 1t is the SUI
preme sacrifice.
What woman does not thrill to
the love of a man willing to die
that she might be happy9
What man is not carried to the
Hottest heights of sentiment by
such devotion and sacrificed
All the world is akin and a
really great love is the one emo
ton that stirs the depths of every
heart. 1t is uplifting, enobling,
inspiring.
This is the story George Barr
McCutcheon tells in Essanay S
six-act photoplav, "Graustark. "
Grenfall Lorry, the young Amerlz
can, loves a princess. He is
young, rich and has everything to
live for. Yet because of his great
love he offers his life to save a
woman.
This is the emotion that stirs
that indescrihable something in all
spectators and holds them tense
and forgettul Of everything else
in the world. This is what lifts
"Graustark" from the ordinary
and stamps it GREAT play.
"Graustark" is coming to the
A-Muz-U Theatre on Friday, No
vember 18th.

OH SANDS MAY Be REACHED AT
DEPTH OF $500 tEET.

The following report of what OIL
conditions are in N&tchitoches as
seen by experts and published IN

absorbing interest Just at this tune,
when wells are being dug in anG
all around US, MANY of our people
being more or less directly or in
directly interested in the oil COM
panies as we'll as the lands.
The phenomenal success of the Oil
drillers in the Caddo and Red River
fields of Northwestern Louisiana has
encouraged their most sanguine hopes
and has greatly stimulated wild-cal-
tirg in manv other regions of the state
One of these regions includes Natchi-
toches. Here six wells have been drlh

ng we'll has been compile ted, two wells

This experience has caused so gteaC
demand for information that the dlrec-
tor of the Geological Survey has issueo
an advance statement TO aid the drill
ers in making thorough test of the
possibility of getting oil and gas in the
region. The statement, which follows,
though it embodies some of the general
conclusions reached by the geologist in
charge of the work, George c. Matson,
is both preliminary and incomplete, be
ing made before the investigation is
finished.
Natchitoches IL near the southeastern
edge of the broad Sabine uplift, a
structural feature that has caused the
accumulation of great quantities of oil
and gas in Caddo, De Soto, and Red
River parishes. In the vicinity OF the
town the geologs horizons that supply
oil and gas may be reached by deep
wells, though it is uncertain whether
they will be found productive. The
shallow gas sand of Northwestern
Louisiana (Natchitoches) may have
been reached in the first well of the
Natchitoches Oil and Gas company
(Freeman) No II at a depth of about
|, 100 feet. The sands that supply oil
IN DeSoto and Red River parishes
should be reached at depth of abou
$500 feet, and the deep sand that sup
plies 50 large a volume of gas in De

East Baton Rouge has won a
real championship a champion

Edward Grimes, an East Baton
Rouge corn club boy has been
adjudged at the state fair, the
greatest corn grower among the
school boys of Louisiana.
Young Grimes, on East Baton
Rouge land raised 1918 bushels
of corn to an acre He set a new
standard for corn raising in
central louisiana. He made a
new record for East Baton Rauge
parish. If the fathers of this par
ish, in this corn cultivation, could
anywhere near approach the
record of young Grimes, the agri-
cultural wealth of the parish
would be added to many times in
a few years.
In being adjudged the state
champion corn grower among the
boys of Louisiana, young Grimes
has won an honor for himself and
his parish. East Baton Rouge IS
proud of him. States Times.
The Enterprise in congratulate
