WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-If
the South Carolina militia, recently
ordered disbanded by Governor Cole
Blease is restored to its former status,
it will be on the initiative of Cover
nor-elect Manning, war department Of
ficials said today. Adjutant-Generdl
Moore today ended conference with
officials here, making what accounting
was possible for government equip
ment heretofore issued to South Caro-

After this conference, Gen. Moore
stated that he had been assured by
Gov-elect Manning that he would do
everything possible to restore the mil
tia of South Carolina to the position
it occupied before friction between the
war department and Blease1t ended in
the summary order disbanding the or
ganization.

TAG DAY IS bic
SUCCESS IN
EVERY RESPECT
LOCAL CHAPTER D. A. r. RAISES
NICE FUND TO HELP FIT OUT
A GEORGA-CAROLINA RELIEF
SHIP
Americus Responds Literally to APP
pealS of Attractive "Taggers"-
Pretty Girls Have Merry Time Hold
ing Up "Mere Man."

Tag Day was a big success and as
a result of the work of the attractive
girls who sold Belgian flags on the
streets nice purse was made up. This
money will be sent to headquarters
by the Americus Chapter D. A R., and
used along with similar contributions
in fitting up relief ship that will be
sent across the pond next week.
That Mr. Americus cannot resit the
appeals of pretty Miss Americus was
clearly demonstrated by this cam
paign. The little Belgian faa1 sold at
premium and two hours after the
campaign opened the supply gave out
and the committee in charge of the
work was forced to improvise substi-
tutes in shape of bows of baby rib
bon.
From early morning until late this
afternoon the girls have been at work
tagging" every man that came in
sight. The popularity of the cause
and of the 'taggers" was demonstrat-
ed by the number of men who wore
as many as a dozen flags each. . ],
The success of the campaign to a
large degree is due to Mrs. E. A. Haw-
kins, who personally superintended
the work of the committees. With eff
ficient chaperones for each committee
the attractive members found the work
easy.

(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 16.-Governor
Slaton this afternoon ordered an in
vestigation of the recent alleged lynch
ing of Daniel Barber, his son and two
daughters, all negroes, at Monticello
on Thursday night.
Barber and his entire family, it is
said, were put to death by infuriated
citizens, following a villianous attack
upon a police officer. The sheriff of
the county who went to the assistance
of his brother officer was badly beat
en- by the three negroes, who were
finally landed in Jail.
More than hundred and fifty per-
sons participated in the lynching, all
wearing masks.

NEGROES
MURDER PLANTER
(By Associated Press.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 16.-Un-
known persons today shot and killed
George Terrence, one of Montgomery
county's most widely known planters,
early today. There is no known rea-
son for the assassination, and the
deed is probably the work of dis
charged negro laborers.
The dead man owned and operated
the Terrence plantation, near Mont
gomery This immense farm is one of
the largest in this section of Ala
bama and many negro hands are en-
ployed in operating the place. Re-
cent determination to materially re-
duce his cotton acreage induced Mr.,
Terrence to release a goodly portion
of his farm labor, and disgruntled ne
groes among the lot are believed to
be responsible for today's outrage.

Deputy Sheriff Lucius Harvey re-
turned this morning from the pursuit
of Ivey Kaler, the white convict who
got away from the Sumter county
chaingang three days ago, and upon
whose trail a posse of officers have
since been camping. Kaler was trail
ed to Flint river last night, where he
secured a boat and crossed to the
Dooly county side with@the officers and
track dogs close behind him. Reaching
the Dooly side, Kaler crawled into a
farm wagon, as it was learned after
wards, and the dogs thus lost the trail
Supt. Henry Christian of the county
roads department, is still chasing his
former four-year prisoner and expects
to effect a capture today or tomorrow.

seven DOLLARS
ADVANCED PRICE
since HOLIDAYS
VALUE OF COTTON CONTINUES TO
ADVANCE SLOWLY But SURELY

Americus warehousemen, as well us
the large number of farmers who still
hold to their cotton bales, watch with
interest the very slow but steady ad-
vance in values that has met in since
the beginning of the Christmas holi-
days. At that time the best grades
were quoted around IA to 1-2
cents, but have since advanced to 1-2
or a fraction better, an increase of six
to seven dollars per bale. This is for
the finer grades of cotton, be it under
stood, of which quality very little re-
mains in the warehouses. But the
middling grades have improved in
price likewise, something like cent a
pound, or $5 per bale. With the in
creased facilities for shipping cotton
abroad, and more cargoes are being
sent forward daily, it is expected that
values will continue to advance. Cot
ton is now in stronger hands; there is
no pressure to sell, and buyers will
have to pay present prices, or even
more.

GEORGIA FAST
BECOMING BIC
CATTLE STATE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 16.-As an evil
dence of the fact that Georgia is COM
ing to be more and more cattle rails
ing state, Pure Food Inspector P. A.
Methvin will bring out in his annual
report, which he is now preparing, a
number of interesting facts showing
the increased sale of cottonseed meal
in Georgia as a feedstuff.
Georgia was for years the dumping
ground of adulterated and misbrand-
ed feeds, but the strict enforcement Of
the pure food law in this state, under
Mr.. Methvin, has caused the standard
to be raised to such a height that he
Georgia law is now accepted as cri-
terion for the South.
The Georgia law demands a hign
percentage of protein in all feedstuffs
and as cottonseed meal is the largest,
as we'll as the least expensive, source
of protein, there is hardly feed on
sale in Georgia which does not depend
upon cottonseed meal for supplying
the necessary amount of protein.
MIR. Methvin's report, which is al
ways a most interesting one, will be
submitted to Commissioner Price at
an early date, and will prove Of vide
spread interest throughout tao state
now that Georgia is taking ho~ place
in the forefront Of the cattla-r2.3i2g
states of the South.

RESCUE WORK
PROGRESSES IN
STRICKEN REGION
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, ia; 16.-Rescue work is pro-
crossing speedily in the earthquake
district, where more than thousand
soldiers ars engaged in the task of
digging the dead from beneath great
piles of fallen buildings.
Many survivors of the disaster stand
in urgent need of assistance today,
financial assistance is being forward
ed the devastated area from every por-
ton of the kingdom. Food, clothing
and medical supplies are especially
needed at Axezzano, Soro and other
towns where the full force of the dis
aster was felt. Thousands are home
less in that vicinity, while other thous-
ands are reported as starving.
The number of dead is estimated this
morning at not less than twenty thous-
and, with more than twice that num-
Der injured. A partial restoration of
telegraphic communication with many
towns within the stricken area has
aided materially to strengthen the
accuracy of today's estimates, and
the above figures, it is believed, fairly
the extent of the disaster.
A committee of American women
residents Of Rome, is being formed
today to solicit aid for the earthquake
and an appeal is shortly TO
be issued for funds.

KAISER ASKS.

CELEBRATE ON
HIS BIRTHDAY
(By Associated Press }


BERLIN. Jan. 16-An imperial de-
cree promulgated this morning calls
upon the people of Germany to omit
those festivities usually marking the
emperor's birthday this year, except
such ceremonies as may be held in
churches and schools. Emperor Will
liam requests the people to eliminate
the usual kilograms from societies and
individuals, in view of the present Sc
rious international situation confront
ing the empire.
The fear is entertained by the i'm
perial household that any general cell
ebration of the occasion might result
in interruption of telegraphic service
and interfere with the postal system,
which is now being operated with a
greatly reduced force Another rea-
son urged for the elimination of these
usual forms is that for the emperor
to give proper attention to such COM
munications would seriously interfere
with his work which constantly de-
mands his presence at the front.

These deposits are accepted by bus
mess men throughout the nation as
one of the surest barometers of trade
conditions, and an increase of such

WILSON MAY
HELP LOWER
PRICE WHEAT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
President Wilson is today considering
the suggestion of Mrs. Julian Heath,
president of the National Housewives
League, that he order an embargo
placed on wheat and -four exports
from the United States, if prices con-
tinue to rise.
In a recent utterance the president
warned wheat millers and dealers in
foodstuffs generally that he would not
contenance skyrocketing tactics in
the price of necessities, and that all
the power of the federal government
would ba brought into action unless
manipulations then in progress were
discontinued
Following this statement, which was
given wide publicity through the AS
sociated Press, a marked decline in
wheat prices ensued, and bull raiders
we're driven off the floor of the differ
ent grain exchanges. Recent export
orders, however, have given renewed
strength to the wheat market and
prices are again soaring, this time
apparently without the aid of specu-
lators.

RENE Ed
ACTIV ITY
EAST
(By Associated Press.)

The military situation in the east
today continues uncertain, while new
features injected into the fighting
since yesterday are so pregnant with
possibilities as to make events in that
theatre extremely interesting alike to
those of German and pro-British SYM
pathies. The Associated Press, after
carefully compiling reports from eV-
cry source of reliable information says
today's news indicated the inaugura-
tion of two entirely independent move
ments which may have a vital effect
upon the entire military situation in
the east, being of tremendous import
ance not only to Won Hindenberg's
army, but also to the German forces
guarding the east Prussian frontier
and in the province Of West Prussia.
Along the former frontier large bo-
dies of Muscovites have resumed Of
fensive fighting and have pushed their
invasion of the Fatherland westward
a distance of several miles, while a
new Russian army, the strength of
which is unknown, is fighting its
way westward in West Prussia, a
portion of the frontier as yet spared
the devastation of military movements.
These two independent movements,
simultaneously inaugurated, are said
to be of tremendous strategic import
ance and the success of this new in
vasion in either sphere would seri-
ously endanger Won Hindenberg's ar
my in Central Poland, while should
both Russian columns succeed in
pushing westward far enough to eff
feet junction the result would be the
isolation of Won Hindenberg's corps
from its base of supplies. Hence mil
itary men place great importance up
on this new move by Grand Duke Nj
cholas' forces, and say the Germans
will almost certainly be forced to
abandon the campaign against War
saw, while the complete evacuation Of
Poland by the Kaisers army would not
be surprising to many.
Further east, the Turks are prepar-
ing to invade British Egypt, but no
fighting in that region has been re-
ported during the past twenty-four
hours, The defeat sustained by the
Turkish army in Caucasia, appears to
have been decisive, and operations in
that region are of minor proportions
only.
Germany's African possessions, it
is said, have again been invaded by a
British expeditionary force, but this
report cannot be confirmed.
The western theatre is again the
scene of bloody fighting, the principal
engagement being fought in region Of
the River Aisne, where such a san
culinary struggle was staged after the
German retreat from the Marne. Re-
suits in that area continue undecisive,
with both armies struggling heroical-
ly to push forward. The Germans
are making a desperate attempt to
progress there, and have sustained
heavy losses without gaining ground
thus far. Infantry charges have been
resorted to once more and the death
toll in the western theatre has been
greater today than in several weeks.
