COTTON IS CONTRABAND
OF WAR, ALLIES AGREE
Propose to Support Market, But Plan
of Procedure Is Not
Given.

'The allied governments have agreed
In principle that cotton is contra band
of war The exact date when this an
nouncement shall be made is still I'M
der consideration as we'll other de-
tails connected with the proclama-
lions" This statement was authorized
today at the British embassy.
AS soon as the official announcement
is made, it will be disclosed also that
the allied governments have prepared
to stand behind the market to proven,
ruinous depression of prices and mini
mize hardships to planters.
The American government, Severa
days ago, was Informed unofficially
but authoritatively of the intention OF
the allied governments to make cotton
Contraband and was informed that they
will claim a legal right for their &C
tion.
Refrained From Action at First.
It was explained here today that the
allies refrained from making cotton
contraband at the outset of the war
because of conditions in the United
States, where large crop had been
planted, and a contraband order then
would, in their opinion, have been far
more serious.
Now, the allies contend. the cotton
states have been prepared for a change
in policy by reductions of acreage.
Some of the cotton interests, allied
quarters acknowledge, may be affect
ed by the change, andl for that reason
il has been decided to stand behind the
market to minimize embarrassment and
to avoid permanent decrease in
American cotton paintings, which
would be reflected in the industries of
the allied countries.
The principal reason for declaring
cotton contraband is that it is one of
the principal sources of smokeless
powder. How the allies propose to sup
port the cotton market is not explained
here.

EQUALIZATION NEEDED.
(Greenville

But South Carolina IS not the only
State in which tax lodging Is practic-
ed. Is there a State free from it? It
may be that the average of returns In
South Carolina is only one-f1fth of the
'eal value of property, but in practical
ly every county it would not be hard
to find property returned at a tenth
or even a twentieth of the price it
would bring IL sold. It is not the poor
mans small farm or little home hat is
so disproportionately returned. A
$500 cottage " gets on the books
at $25-5 per cent. of it's value, but a
$4,000 900 piece of business property
may be returned at $4,000.
The tax commission may not be able
to devise a means of securing returns
of property for taxation in this State
at it's market value, the fairest basis,
but it sb0Ald rest content until
returns are equalizeds whatever the
basis TN which they are made.

BREVARD NEWS WIDE AWAKE
ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION,

The following concerning the liquor
situation in Tfansy1vania county from
the Sylvan Valley News, whose editor,
Mr.. Jones, is an ardent church enthu-
siast, carries with it an important
message:
within the last year three men have
lost their lives owing to their use OF
intoxicating liquor. Had there been
no whiskey at John Reid's home ON
February 9Th, Virgil Owen would be
alive and well today. Had ]. w. Clay
ton not been drinking ON September
18th, last year, it is hardly probable
that anyone would be charged with his
murder. And il the discharged show
man, McTindal, not been in an intox-
icated condition he would have never
been found dead in Davidson River
with no clew sufficient to lead to the
discovery Of the parties who struck
him on the head and threw him into
the river.
when three men have been killed,
resulting in two expensive murder
trials, which must be paid for by the
tax payers, is it not time for the moral
element of the county to wake up and
ldhO SO1nO AOLASO IA LnO nA40hOy Ou0A-
ness in Pennsylvania county? We now
have a law which absolutely prohibits
the shipment of whiskey into this
county in any quantity, and this law is
being rigidly enforced, and the express
company is refusing to deliver any
amount of whiskey to any one. And
yet there is apparently as much drink
ing as ever, but the brand is of a mean
er sort. being made possibly by moon
sinners.
I'm view of the facts set out above
is it not very strange that even some
of our citizens still refuse to see the
light and wake up to the fact that tbs
time has come when every one must
take sides on this great moral Ques-
tiOn?, And is it not ve1y strange that
our ministers should be criticised for
doing all in their power to bring their
people to a proper realization of the
facts?
Eat a recent meeting in n of the
churches it was reported that a GER
tain business man had made the state
ment that there were not ten men in
all the churches in Brevard who do
not take a drink occasionally. While
this statement doubtless is an exagger-
alton, it is a great pity that it can be
said with truthfulness that there is
one church member who takes
an occasional drink for a beverage.
IF our prohibition laws are to be
of any effect now is the time for all
who believe in temperance to stand
squarely behind them, giving them
the moral support that will make the
officers see to it that they are not Vio-
lated. This is not the time for weak
knees"

THE Law OPENS THE DOOR.
An Act Empowering Counties to Pro-

vide for TubercuaIr- Sick.
Towns ard counties are already
taking advantage of the new law and
are paying the way Of their tubercuiar
patients at the State Sanatoxinm ac-
cording to the provisions OF the law"
said the superintendent of that tnstitu-
ton recently. TITS q wise measure"
said he, because through it, the poor
widow, the orphan child and those that
are otherwise not able to pay the dol
lar a day may be given treatment and
restored as useful citizens that other
wise would have had no chance"
The law referred to was one pass
ed by the recent General Assembly and
n that empowers cities, towns and
counties to provide for the treatment
of their INDECENT tubercular sick at the
State Sanatorium, the cost OF the
treatment to be not more than a dollar
per, day. This law makes possible the
means whereby towns and counties
may care for their t~ubercular sick and
give them a chance at recovery under
the best possible circumstances the
State a afford.
In some states, counties and towns
maintain their own sanatoria, but for
maintained by the State and co-opera-
ted with by the towns and counties has
proven the better plan.

Fairfax Harrison Says Effect of War Ts Proving Only Temporary. Saws World Must Have Cot
 tou-Demand Increasing

washington, Jan. 1.-Fairfax Har- ,ison. president of the Southern Rail uav declared today that the wars .eoo+ m business conditions in the contb is proving only temporary; that 4ho demand for cotton is growing. He nrodicted general revival of business.
 "Tbe world must have cotton" he so;d rThe demand, both for export and fer American mills, is increasing ond tlcre has been a substantial ad- vance in prices since the low point when the depression was at it's worst. With larger movement of cotton +bore will come an increased demand far nerchandise of all kinds in the cou+h and a general revival of busi- ness.
 Southern farmers are meeting the situation by planning to reduce the acreage of cotton planted in 1915 and to devote the land to other crops and to livestock.
 statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture and reports of the agricultural agents of the Southern Railway Company show sub- stantial increases in the acreage plant ed in fall grains in every Southern state and the prospects are that a large acreage of corn will be planted in the spring.
 "With a smaller crop of cotton, Southern farmers will be assured of a better price for the crop of 1915 and for that part of the crop of 1914 wfieh must be carried over. With a larger production of grain, they will profit from the inevitable European demand resulting frdom the withdraw al of millions of men and draft ami mals from agriculture in the countries which are at war"
 Mir. Harrison added that many Southern manufacturers realize oppor- tunities for export business growing out of the war and that reports indi- cated they were taking intelligent steps to secure share of the trade

Hays told them that he would favor as liberal policy as possible for maintenance, but so long as the states financial condition is so strained, he will oppose any appropriations for new buildings. The governor was therefore recorded as voting in the negative on the presidents rcommen- dations. The Board decided that it will go into the Legislature and make fight for the Futrall program.
