Bales of Cotton.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
columbia, Aug. 9.-President Will
son, in a letter to john L. McLaurin,
State warehouse commissioner, says
that he hopes to discuss with those
who understand the matter better than
he does tie feasibility of the sugges-
ton by Senator McLaurin that the
United States government or the allies
buy 100000 bales OF low-grade cotton
for use in manufacturing explosives in
order to stabilize the cotton market.
The letter of Senator ;McLaurin was
addressed to the white house at Wash
ington and Secretary ]. P. Tumulty

MARKETING OF FARM TIMBER.
Forest Service Says Ignorance Ol
NOOdIOt Owners Often Costs
Them Dearly.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Tne market
ing of farm timber presents some Of
t. same difficulties, but in an aggra-
waited form, that the farmer meets IN
selling other crops, says a forest serv-
ice contribution to the Year Book OF
the Deartpment of agriculture, just
issued. The farmer finds it hard to get
enough for his timber. Most farmers
now sell their saw timber on the
stump to a mill man, such sales ordl-
narily being made for lump sum.
The mill man, experienced in estimat-
ing. goes through the woods and sizes
up to the quality and value of the tim
Der he wants The owner, being a
farmer and not a lumberman, seldom
knows anything about estimating tim
Der and has only tie vaguest idea of
what it ought to bring. The conse-
quence of this condition is that the
farmer often receives only a small
fraction of the actual market value
of his stumpage.
Astonishing examples of What a
farmer may thus throw away are often
encountered by foresters, continues
the article. For instance, Massa-
chusetts farmer sold a million feet OF
timber to a portable sawmill for 1900,
and thought he had obtained good
price. His neighbor, Eowever, who
knew something about timber, got
81, 900 for the same quantity of white
pine from the very same portable
mill man. The first farmer, on account
of C3is ignorance, practically presented
the mill man with $500; the second
owner was wise enough to learn be-
fore he attempted to sell his timber
how much ne had and what it ought
to bring him in money.
The productive capacity of the 200
million acres of farm lands throughout
the country which either nave or
should have timber growing on them
is enormous, say the article. This
area is larger than all tie national
forests puts together, and with an an
nual growth of 200 board feet per ace
of saw timber-a moderate allowance
under the practice of Foresight
would produce annually about 40 bill
lion feet, or the equivalent of the en-
tire lumber cut of the country, in ad-
dition to not less than 120 million
cords of frewood.
These figures, continues the article,
probably never will be realized, for
t. e reason that the present area of
farm woodlands is much greater than
it will be eventually. For example,
woodland comprises 81 per cent of the
entire farm area of the South, and un-
doubtedly much of this land will be
put to other uses than timber grow
ing. Nevertheless, the farmers of tie
United States now own at least 250
billion feet of saw timber and 113 bill
lion cords Of cordwood, and this tim
Der should produce a substantial part
of their incomes. Farmers ought to
make the most of their timber, and the
public should be interested in this
question for tie reason that the vast
aggregate of farm timber should be
available to supplement the other
sources of the general supply.

The miners who expect to work for wages in Dime creek held an or ganization meeting on December IA and discussed the wage scale. They set the scale for the winter at four dollars day and board for eight hours They also stated that very little work will go on this winter, not more than twenty wage worK. CTS will, it is expecetd, be employed Mike Young was chairman of the meeting and Chas Peterson secreta- ny. They wished to caution wage workers through the Industrial Worker of the individuality of pro- ceeding to Dime to look for work as not more than six men arc being employed at the present time, anu the maximum would not exceed twenty throughout the winter. When setting the scalc the miners took into consideration the relative scarcity and hence the relative high price of grub.

RENOUNCING
MARRIAGE vows.

Amoung some people in the Orient
divorces occasion little trouble and
no expense. A man firing of the wo-
man he has married has simply to say
to her, II divorce you" and that il
an end Of the matter. It seems, from
reference to the custom in the New
Testament, that the woman enjoyed
a similar privilege: she, too, could Sc
yer her marital relations by setting
her husband aside with as few words.
1t would astonish most readers were
we to quote certain passages in the
history of Judea at the beginning OF
the present era. The divorce mill
was going all the time. Men and wo-
men lived together until they grew
tired of each other, divorced them
selves without form, ceremony or law,
and contracted other marriages ad
libitum. Josephus, in one part OF his
history, says: "About this time | put

Manners

concluded not to follow the fugitivcs,
to the great disappointment of Alex,
andrians who had INDUCED the hone

hands of the Confcderatcs, who had
been forced out two months before
Barnard E. Bee, the Confederate
General through whom the name Of
"Stoncwall" was conferred on Gen.

that would tie their country hand and
foot and make it a prey to any enemy
from abroad.
"When one considers the alleged
threat of the German Kaiser to, make
all Europe tremble, which he is said
to have included in letter to his
sister, the Queen of Greece, some
facts of the past must be held in
mind. He is said to have made the
assertion to his august sister that
Russia is paralyzed for at least six
months to come, and that empire will
be eliminated from action during the
progress of the movement at which
the German Emperor so darl1ly hints.
"While one may be disposed to smile
at the Kaiser's boast as a confident
but unsupported threat, it is well to
recall that other countries have been
virtually eliminated since the war
started Belgium no longer cunts as
a factor and the same is true of Ser
bia that, at the beginning Of the war,
fought valiantly. If the present enor-
NOUS campaign of defeat shall wit
ness the seizure of Warsaw and the
Gripping of the entire Russian front,
certainly Russia will require at least
six months for recovery. That will
make the third country eliminated
since the war began. Who can say
that the process of elimination would
not continue until by the capture o.
Paris the French had been eliminated
or through the taking of Calais and
drive upon England, that country
was crippled. This progress of eli
mination is juggernaut one and thus
far has been carried on with surpris-
ing effectiveness"

THE GERMAN
JUGGERNAUT.

That the long-foretold distress of
nations" has come at last must be APP
parent to any one inclined to stop and
think. The war cloud is as dark as
ever, and sheet, forked and ball lightE-
ing with terrific thunder are shak-
ing the planet.
The people of the United States,
who have been watching the conflict
from afar during the past year, are
becoming anxious, as there is no tell
ing what part our country is destined
to play. We read of German SUB
marines appearing off the coast OF
North America, and, more startling
still, that undersea craft of that ma
ton are either in or about to enter
the Caribbean Sea, where base
will be established. The purpose is to
destroy ships which may be engaged
in transporting munitions to Ger
many's enemies. Should such reports
prove true, the United States will be
facing a menace to the Gulf of Mexi
CO and the Panama Canal.
While such ominous signs are In the
heavens, our country is being con-
vulsed by labor issues at a most mop
perfume time Heretofore the members
of the American Federation of Labor
have deferred to their officials. 1t Is
not SO now, and strikers are despis-
ing their authority with impunity.
The Baltimore American this morn
ing in speaking of present conditions
says:
"Mr. Samuel Gompers is morally
certain that the labor unrest at
Bridgeport and with the Remington
Arms Company and at other places
where arms and ammunition are be-
ing manufactured is due to the ac-
tivity of aliens who are systematical-
ly and by the use of money seeking
to stir up labor troubles.
"a second fire upon an American
warship, that upon the Oklahoma,
nearing completion, is an annoying oc-
currence. There may be records Of
a more serious catastrophe that would
absolutely upset the efforts being
made to keep the peace with the leu
tons.
"There are many signs of mimic
able activity in the country as well as
upon the ships that sail with SUD-
plies to the Allies. This condition is
far from being assuring and lndl-
Gates the wretched state of esnOn-
age and outrage that would prevail
in case the United States were drawn
into the war.
"The insidiousness of the approaches
to labor probably lies in the fact that
if the probe could be entered it might
be found that the international So
cialist organization is being used to
bring about concert of action here in
strikes together with the British
workers and the German munitions
workers at Essen. Nothing could be
more unfortunate than for American
labor representative to be induced II
