TRAIN Of COTTON
MADE A DISPLAY
ON C|TyS STREETS
LARGE LOT OF 312 BALES COT
TON CARRIED OVER FROM 1911
CROP BY C. C. HAWKINS is BE-
ING MARKETED HERE-TRAIN
OF DOZEN WAGONS PARADED
STREETS TODAY AND PHOTO.
GRAPHED BY M'KINISTRY.

Three hundred and twelve bales
cotton made last year on his planta-
tion in Sumter county by Mr.. C. C.
Hawkins of Americus is now being
marketed here, and the arrival of wa
gon trains daily, hauling this large lot
of cotton to the Council Warehouse
for storage, attracts attention, as we'll
might be imagined. One train of wa
gons came in late yesterday afternoon,
another train arrived today. while the
third train viii come in tomorrow.
Each train consists of ten to twelve
farm wagons, bringing a total of sew
enty bales, and the three trips will
bring 312 bales.
This morning the second wagon pag-
cant drew up in front of the Council
Warehouse and filled up the interyen-
ing space across to the courthouse
corner. Each wagon was loaded with
six bales and pulled by two mules.
When lined up for unloading Artist
McKinistry made fine photograph of
the cotton-laden wagons, which made
a tour of the business streets before
the f1eecy cargo was unloaded and
put in storage.
Mr.. Hawkins carried over 312 bales
from his last years cotton crop, for
which there was little, if any, demand
at the time. Today his 312 bales are
worth, approximately, $1S,720 at the
price of II cents. The cotton has been
stored under shelter for year and is
in prime condition.

ARTD|s COUNTRY IS
RICH, AND WATERED
DOTTED WITH TOWNS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 21-"The
Artois, the region mentioned continu-
ally in the dispatches as that where
the heaviest fighting in Northern
France is taking place, includes the
territory of an ancient province OF
France and corresponds to the present
department of Pas de Calais, minus the
arondissements of Montrenil and Boul-
ogne," begins war primer issued to-
day by the National Geographic Soci-
ETY.. Reports of attacks by the Allies
in the Artois mean attacks against the
north and south German trench line,
on its section extending from Armen-
there's, on the Belgian frontier south Of
Ypres, to the neighborhood of Bapaumt
which is about 16 miles southeast of
Arras This line is little more than
40 miles long.
"The Artois is rich, well-watefed
country, dotted with Industrial towns,
but chiefly known as pasture and
farm land. Its larger farms produce
an abundance Of graf and hops, while
the smaller holdings grow great guam
titles of the fancy vegetables for which
France is famed above every other
land with the exception of Belgium.
The capital of the old province was
Arras, the name being a corruption of
'Artois.' Among the important towns
in the region are Bethune, Aire, Ba-
paume, Lillers, Saint-Pol and Hesdin.
The great battle of Agincourt between
the French and English, was fought
here on October 25, 1415.
"The Counts of Flanders huled the
Artois from the 9th to the 18th cen
tury. In 1880, the land was bestowed
upon the ki1g of France, Philip Angus
tLs, as the dowry of his bride, Isabella
of Hainaut In the 14th century, Ar
tois passed to the house of Burgundy,
and a marriage of a daughter of this
house to the arehduke Macmillan
brought 1t under the banner of the
Habsburgs. The French contested the
claims of the Austrians, and finally
conquered the province from Spain, to
which it had fallen in 1884, in 1859
The province has since remained in
the possession of the French"

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 21.-Why is il
that everybody eats hen eggs, and
robody eats duck eggs? The Ad Men
of Atlanta say it is solely because the
hen advertises it's product by cackling,
while the duck doesn't advertise at
all. The Ad club has just decided TO
go out and boost the show, "It Pays to
Advertise" which will ge seen at the
Atlanta Theatre on october 20 to Oc-

WHY SHOULDN'T THIS

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 21-The august
noses of Georgia's supreme court were
assailed yesterday afternoon by the
most awful smell that anybody ever
smelled.
1t came from the state board of
health rooms in the basement, where
scientists were making coup out of
pieces of yellow dog, dead guinea pig
and hydrophobia serum, thickened with
Belgian hare.
Something happened to get wrong
with the draught on the board of
healths little incinerating plant, and
the fumes got loose. The supreme
court was inclined to get out an in
junction, but decided instead to ad.
jcurn for the day.

SUMTER's SYRUP
CROP SMALLEST,
RESULT DR0UTH
CANE CROP THIS YEAR is POOR
INDEED.

Americus grocers are deploring the
fact that the almost complete failure
cf the sugarcane crop this year means
the curtailment af the syrup crop-one
of the staples in Sumter and all south
Georgia and handsome source of
profit to the farmer. Sumter is one of
the greatest can-producing counties
l. the state and the reputation of Sum-
ter cane syrup is proyerbial. Some
syrup will be made, of course, but by
no means in the usual quantity be-
cause of the drought, which cut short
the cane yield. However, much syrup,
put up in Theoretically sealed gallon
cans, are still on the shelves of the
grocers, or held on the farm, and this
syrup is as fresh and wholesome as
the ne warticle would be. Put up in
sealed cans, Sumter syrup will keep
fresh and sweet indefinitely.

Pressing the Greeks.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-All possible
pressure is being brought to bear to
get Greece to define unequivocably her
position toward the other Balkan
states. The entente powers have init.
mated and announced that the Greek
policy of neutrality would be difficult,
if not impossible to maintain owing to
the geographical position and the Ser.
bian treaty.
The question in the opinion of the
allies and their diplomats is not per-
hitting Greece to continue her pres
ent course until the Germans are able
to utilize the neutrality of Greece to
their advantage.
The Greek government is now con-
sidering an offer from Great Britain to
cede the Island of Cyprus Immediately
if Greece joins the allies.
The Russian foreign minister has
issued statement saying that he con-
s;ders the allies justified in adopting
ally measures to prevent the Germans
taking advantage of the neutrality of
the third power.
There are conflicting reports as to
whether the Bulgarians have occupied
Vranya On the Nish-Saloniki railroad.
The principal pressure against Serbia
is from the Bulgarian side.
An official statement issued at Nish
yesterday says that the railroad to Sal
oniki was cut in two places. The Ser
bian army is seriously menaced.
No further important German ad-
vances have been recorded. The Ger
man attacks in the east of Rheims on
the western front have been repulsed,

JUST TWO MONTHS
WHICH To SETTLE
CURRENT YEAR TAX
MONEY Is NEEDED AND PAYMENT
EXPECTED.

Sumter's money arising from the
payment of taxes for the current year
is coming in but slowly and Collector
Small sounds a warning that all may
Lead and heed while the light holds out
to burn. The county needs the money
badly wherewith to redeem script is
sued in lieu of cash and to pay current
expenditures and payment must be
forthcoming within tht two months re-
naming, or by December goth at lat
est.
Collector Small states that he will
be compelled to close the tax books by
tnat date and send the tax digest to the
iffice of the comptroller So delin-
quents take notice.
The taxable property values in Sum-
ter this year are near the eight million
dollar point which, while fiattering, is
below the high water mark of 1914, al
though the loss sustained is readily
traced to the collapse of one or two
business enterprises and not to shrink
age in crafty values, which are as high
this year as in 1914.

KNOCKOUT BLOW DRIVEN INTO
LIQUOR BY FORMER GOV. GLENN

Intensely interested and frequently
displaying their hearty approval by
applause, an audience of nearly 1000
people heard former Governor R. s.
Glenn, of North Carolina, speak at
the First Methodist church last night
in the cause of prohibition.
Governor Glenn was presented to the
audience by Rev. J. A. Thomas, pastor
of the First Methodist church, and the
minister briefly re-counted the great
influence which the North Carolina
statesman had exercised in the fight to
drive liquor out of the nation
Dr. G. w. Eichelberger, secretary OF
the Anti-Saloon League in Georgia,
made brief talk before Governor
Glenn's address. 1t was characteristic
and marked by the untiring fight which
the secretary has made to bring the
prohibition question to the successful
stage it now stands before the special
session of the general assembly which
will convene November 3rd.
Would Have Martial Law.
A striking remark from the address
of Governor Glenn was that if he sat
in Georgia's executive chair, and with
Lis knowledge of the laws, he would
declare martial law in Augusta and
Savannah, and stop the illegal sale of
LIQUOR and beverages.
In his forcible MINER he related how
North Carolina had prospered under
and enforced the prohibition laws, and
cited figures to show the benefits de-
rived.
Governor Glenn called upon the peo-
pie of Americas and Georgia to exer-
else powerful influence upon their
city officials. their county officials ami
the general assembly in assisting in
the enactment of the prohibition meas
ures contemplated for consideration
in the extra session.
With an eloquence that was convine-
irg, and a plea which bore the truths
of experience, Governor Glenn plead
in eloque-ce, pathos and logic for the
cause of prohibition and for an hour
he intermingled during his address the
sad discords of life which had been
sounded through the curse of drink.
For WOman's Suffrage.
Governor Glenn paid high tribute
to the influence and power which wo-
nan had exercised on the right side of
the liquor question, and he stated that
se was in favor of woman's suffrage.
Ills provoked a round of applause
through the assemblage which had
hung upon each word from the elo-
1uent orator.
DR.. Eichelberger is travelling
through the state on Governor Glenn's
lecture tour, and today the former
,hief executive of North Carolina
speaks in Albany.
