Rumanian Official Report.

The Rumanian official statement reads
as follows:
"On our northern and northwestern
fronts our advance continues with sue
cess in all directions. Our armies oc-
cupied' Tarlunge valley near Brasso
(Kronstadt), and the important indus
trial center Petroseny. Our losses were
very slight.
ION our southern front Hungarian
monitor bombarded Turnu Magureli and
Zimnitza."
Petroseny is the center of rich coal
field near the southern frontier of
Pennsylvania. lying just north of the
Valcan pass through the Pennsylvania
Alps. The occupation of Tarlunge val
ley indicates the Rumanians are eX-
tending their invasion of the extreme
portion of Pennsylvania

NOT A GHOST STORY.
| midnight ride in a hearse through

A midnight ride in hearse through
dark, rough stretch of road in An
derson county, is the experience un-
dergone by an undertaker's assistant
Of this city, who holds up his right
hand and declares it's not ghost
story, either. It all happened less
than a week ago, and the reporter got
it first hand-in other words, 1t s
the real authentic stuff. The ceme-
terry fellow-weu call him that-was
sent out on a funeral mission in the
western part of the county, about 28
miles from the city. The body did
not arrive here until 6 O'Clock, 80
darkness had set in before a start
could be made. Trouble began about
10 miles from the city. Dark! the
cemetery fellow says it was 80 dark
you could gather handfuls Of it, it
was as soft as velvet, but impenetra-
BILE. He had a negro driver and both
were riding on the seat Of the hearse
It must have been earlier than lO
o'clock when it began to thunder,
dark clouds banking up on every
side. Then it began to rain. Through
the flashes Of lightning the driver got
occasional glimpses Of the highway.
On the side of the highway spookss,
so he thought, lurked on every hand.
What a yarn. The cemetery man
soon saw he would drown on the
seat Of the hearse, and having In
plicit confidence in the driver he
crawled inside-on top Of the CONN.
A strange bed. Phew, 1t was un-
canny. But he stuck to it, 'and, tax
ing his word for it, would have taken
a nap without the least trouble had
not the jolts of the hearse on rocky
stretches of the road threatened to
precipitate him from his couch. tales
galore have been told Of sleeping In
cemeteries in a spirit Of bravado'
but when it comes to fellow stretch

The addresses were well received

Calhoun Mills.
The occasion was further enhven-

ILLITERATE VOTERS.

Of all the enrolled Democratic vot-
ers of Greenwich county, about 20
per cent are illiterate, not being able
to write their own names. This fact
is indicated by an examination of the
club rolls, where by actual count
there are EAST persons enrolled who
were unable to write their own names
and hence made q cross mark, wit
messed by proper officials, to show
their signature. The total enroll
ment of the county is slightly above
$4,000 and the figures show that 20
per cent 81 them all white, with some
possible exceptions and all above the
age of 81, were unable to write their
names, and here would be classed as
illiterate, according to. the classifica-
ton of the United States census.
Figures secured by counting the
names in the club rolls where the
signatures were attested by cross
mark and witnesses, show that the

COTTON FUTURES ACT

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
annual appropriation bill for the De-
'partment of Agriculture just passed
by Congress contains re-enact-
ment, effective September /, 1915,
of the United States cotton futures
act, with a few changes. Section II
of the present law, which taxes or.
ders sent abroad for the making of
future contracts on foreign cotton
exchanges unless certain conditions
were complied with, will be omitted.
A new section known as Ga is in
serted in the bill, which provides an
optional contract under which par
ties may, by agreement, without be-
ing subject to tax, contract that un-
der certain specified conditions the
buyer may demand delivery Of the
basis grade named in the contract.
Another modification which will be
of interest and assistance to the
trade is the authority conferred on
the Secretary of Agriculture, in case
of disputes, to include in his findings,
even though only one question be
referred, complete classification of
the cotton for the purpose Of deliv-
cry on future contracts. Under the
old law, the authority of the Secre-
tary was confined to a determination
of the specific question Of grade,
quality, or length Of staple referred
to him by the parties. In other words,
if the dispute involved grade only,
and the cotton was found to be GIN
cut, which is question of quality,
the Secretary had no authority to
include a statement as to gin-cut in
his findings.
Government officials in charge of
the matter call especial attention to
the facts that the new act will not
become effective until September l,
1916, and that the old act Of August
18, 1914, will remain in full force
until the beginning of next month.
The rules and regulations of both
the Treasury and the Agricultural
Departments, with slight modifica-
tions and additions necessitated by
the changes made in the law, will be
reissued shortly after. approval of
the bill by. the President, so that
there will be no disturbance what
soever to the trade. The official cot
ton standards of the United States,
heretofore established, will be re.
adopted and promptly promulgated,
80 as to be in force when the new
act becomes operative.

WHEAT PRODUCTION LESS
BY 2OO,0OO,0DO BUSHELS
Governments October Crop Report
Shows Great Falling Off in
Winter Variety.

With the price Of -four higher than
1t has been in many years, interest in
the governments October crop report
issued today, centered in the forecast
of this years wheat production, which
Is the smallest since 1904. The crop
of winter wheat is 100000, 900 bushels
smaller than last year. and the Pro
duction of spring wheat probably will
be lower by more than that quantity
and the smallest crop in the last
twenty-one years.
With a carry-over of approximately
160, 100000 bushels from last years rec
ord-breakfng crop of 1,011,505, 900
bushels. Agriculture Department Off
c1als believed this years short crop
would be sufficient to meet domestic
requirements and leave about 100 OOO,-
900 bushels available for export to help
supply the heavy demands of the war
ring European nations. A significant
feature of the grain trade this year is
the importation of wheat from Ar
gentIna, cargo of which is now on it's
way to this country
Other cereal crops also suffered from
the adverse conditions of the past sum-
mer and smaller production has re-
suited in most crops.
White potatoes particularly will be
short, the crop this year being the small
est in the last five years. Tobacco. hay
and rice, however, promise record crops
this year.
The governments forecasts Of produc-
ton OF the principal crops, based on a
canvass made October by its agents and
throughout the country,
together with forecasts made from the

years production Gin thousands of bush-
