There were 21S per sons in the hospital of whom 1l3 were children. 36 aged women and the oth- CTS servants and assistants to the Grey Nuns.
 The fire, the cause of which has not been determined. still smouldered at midnight, making it impossible to ascertain accurately how many of the inmates of the hospital had perished. The property damage was estimated at S135,000. partly covered by insurance.
 sOne reason for the difficulty in def initely establishing the loss of life, it was said. was that the majority of the inmates of the hospital were without relatives or friends. Those who per ished are believed to have been en- tombed by tons of debris.
 An investigation as to the cause of the fire disclosed that a blaze started in chimney of the hospital Tuesday night. It is the theory of the authori- ties that this smouldered and broke out again last night.

 WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Secretary Lansing tonight authorized the state ment that Secretary Baker had no in- tention to intimate that American cit iZens were involved in the bandit at tack plot. The secretary said that it had been called to his attention that an effort would be made to construe the war departments statement as a political play, and as an assault upon the administrators political oppon- ents. He denounced such a construc- tion> as absolutely false, declaring that politics were not given thought in connection with the matter, and that it was inconceivable that any American would ally himself with MeXicans to attack his own countrymen.

THE APPOINTMENTS.

The county is to be commended on
the appointments of Lucius Harvey as
sheriff to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Sheriff Q. W. Fuller, and
the naming of R. E. Price, as deputy
sheriff to fill the position Of Mr. Har-
vey.
The act of Captain John A. Cobb,
ordinary of the county in naming Mr..
Harvey as sheriff is in keeping with
the admirable state of affairs of the
office. For several months Mr.. Harvey
had conducted many of the affairs of
the office, because of Mr.. Fuller's ill
ness and because of his familiarity
and excellent qualities as a sheriff the
appointment is to be commended.
No announcement has been made as
10 a special election, but it is believed
that Mr.. Harvey will be candidate
for reelection, and he will be warmly
supported by many friends throughout
the county.

MUST QUIT EATING

South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys.
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaL 1.-THE peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made If they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luXuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore

The south must stop forever its

eide" says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward a
condition Of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it is
going to be a great temptation to
uIOp DdCh lnLO Cne Ola ndDlL OF put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstOne.
IF the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is posi-
BILE to grow on his own acres This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year"

FOR SKILLED LABOR.

The need of industrial training is
emphasized by demands originating
from all sections of the country from
establishments that are finding them
selves face to face with greater un-
dertakings than they can cope with
under present arrangements. Discus
sing this important efature of Ameri-
can life a prominent authority said
recently:
THE frank truth about this
matter of employment centers in
the fact that the management of
the concerns in question is not
acquainted with the immensely of
the work it has in hand and con-
sequently is willing to pay the
highest price for capable skilled
men as operatives and managers"
There is practically unlimited pos
sibilities in every endeavor for men
who are able and willing to do things.
The South as a whole, is recognizing
the Importance of such facts and
there is a tendency of laudible nature
hfin nj hyy nf -
sterling young men of every part OF
| the cotton belt to take hold of the i'm
portant and vital matters and learn
them, even in the most intricate de-
tails, so as to become factors in the
development of their own sections.
The development of latent resources
can never be accompanied without
men to do it, and if they are not to be
obtained from the home community
they will have to come from else
where, or else the resources will re,
main dormant Here is where an i'm
portant question confronts the people
Of this section of the South. The time
is virtually at hand when no oppor.
tdnity will be allowed to pass unheed
ed and from somewhere will come
somebody who will seize the advant-
ages offered, and reap harvest.
The matter of education and train
iug-the right kinds of utmost i'm
portance to the present generation
more so to the future generations, and
it is a sacred duty, incumbent upon
the thoughtful people of this day to
see that every possible provision is
made for utilizing the opportunities
of today for the geratest possible good
that may come from their develop
ment in years on ahead,-Augusta

Safety ValDe
Editor Times Recorder:

Editor Recorder:
Having read your news item yester-
day on "A Market Needed" I am writ
ing to add what little weight l can to
what you have said. 1t does seem to
one who has some of the crops such
as sweet potatoes, corn hay, oats, hogs
and the like farm products for sale
that the one greatest thing needed to
bring about divarsification of crops in
preparation for conditions that we
know we shall soon have to face, is a
grown these other things we will have
to face soon, is a definite assurance
that when we have grown these other
things we will have a market for them.
We do not hesitate to say that we feel
tat this is one of the greatest needs
right here in Americas, for the farm
ers adjacent to your town. AS farm
er, if l have some of these crops to
sell as the conditions are about one
lead of corn will fill the market needs
here, but if there not a need for more
corn here?
IF had OH fa h1C
mess men who would work together
there could be what might be term
ed an exchange for farm crops through
which the local market could be sup
piled as we'll as to find markets for
the surplus not needed on the local
market Investigation can be preach
ed indefinitely, and we believe in di-
versification, but it can be preached
forever but until the farmer can be
assured that he can get the money to
meet past due obligations, as we'll as
t. have funds on hand to meet run
ming expenses the farmer will be still
found planting cotton right on until
the boil weevil makes it so no more
can be grown.
1t cannot be said that no one is in
terested for in the last few days sew
eral farmers have been heard to say
that nothing is needed here more, that
it will do as much to draw trade for
Americas as anything that could be
done, and it certainly will insure the
practice of diversifcation of crops
when it is known that there is a GER
tain place that these crops can be
carried and the market price received
for them when they are delivered. This
problem needs solving. 1t needs to be
solved right now and right here. 1t is
now alone the farmers responsibility,
but it is the responsibility of the bust
ness man, perhaps, a little more than
il is that of the farmer, and individ-
ually feel that it may never be real
lied until the business interests get
in behind it, Let's have the local ar
rangement for finding a market for
other things that can be grown on the
farm. Keep up your agitation.
Then, Mr. Farmer and Mr.. Business
Man, remember the boil weevil is as
sure to reach us as death and taxes.
Give us a farmers exchange Ccash
narkeb for other crops and diversif-
cation will come about immediatelf.
Dent let's wait, as some sections have
done, until we are forced out, before
the definite effort is made to estab-
ljSh this market. Please give US the
exchange. A FARMER

week:
"hTe early rays of the rising sun of
the New Year send a golden promise

from which the clouds of depression
have disappeared and illuminate a
sweeping activity that is prophetic Of
unmeasured prosperity.
The situation is vastly different to
what it was a year ago. Then, with
the rising of the sun behind all-envel-

oner and well-nigh paralyzed, listened
for the tramp of the firing squad.
The conditions have changed won

depression, was the first cause of bus

a return to prosperity was begun at a
steady pace. Factories are in opera
ton everywhere. Bank cIearings are
increasing literally by leaps and
bounds. Everywhere there is activity
and improvement.
And in all the vastly improved sit
uation, there is nothing more favor
able or encouraging than the fact that
people are expecting prosperity, be-
lieving that their expectations are well
founded.
There was no way of estimating
how far down into depression the war
in Europe might send business in this
country. The great change in condi-
tions so works also that there is no
way of measuring the height of the
prosperity that will come.
