conditions in the overflowed district of

conditions In the overflowed district Of Greene county are deplorable and dis tressing, but I feel that I am author ized to say our troubles have been magnified by extravagant statements and are calculated to do great harm
 In that conference the inquiry was made to ascertain whether or not an appeal had been made to the landown- CTS and merchants and citizens for the immediate relief of those most in need {: and the answer was, it has not. It was suggested that the proper thing to do was to make this appeal landlords chants were interested in those to whom advancements had been made since then it has been done by private dona tions, the emergency relieved and no one yet starving. And I am reliably informed that the large landowners in this particular section of the county many of whom are non-residents, have offered work to many of the destitute in this particular section, at fair wages, and further informed that they refused to work, presume waiting for the government mule and 40 acres D
 In other overflowed sections of the country labor is now seeking employ ment and I feel will not be turned away.
 Our people are generous and char ltable people, and further they are not states rights people today and pater- na1sts tomorrow. As to the other mat ters referred to in his communication,

Wants Investigation of
 Munitions Shipments

Washington, August 5.-Investigation of rmunitions shipments to Mexico since they Ldrst were prohibited by President Taft, ,with particular inquiry whether persons Tconnected with such shipments was a Econtributor to political campaign funds,
 was asked in resolution introduced in Hthe House today by Representative Ro- 3denberg of Illinois, republican.
 Introduction of the resolution was a
 sequel to MT. Rodenberg's speech in the House yesterday, in which he declared
 ]that Cleveland H. Dodge of New York Twas. interested in munitions factory lthat he was a contributor to the demo- scratic campaign fund, and that General sCarranza was permitted to import a mill .lion rounds of small arms ammunition 8 Aday after MT. Dodge called on Secretary Lansing soon after the attack on Amer ican troops at Parral.
 Mir. Rodenberg expressly stated he did not know there was any connection be- tween the things he mentioned, but he wanted to find out. The resolution was referred to the foreign affairs commit
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-08-06

as to paying taxes, road work, etc,
 they need no comment: the records of
 the commissioners court show that
 each commissioners district, under the
 management and direction of the com
 missioner of that district, has had it's
 pro rata part of the division of time
 in road work by the county forces and
 applied when and how he directed.
 The communication in the county pa- per said conditions in Forkland beat were exceptional in that it is too late in the year to replant the crops and that the citizens cultivating lands in this section will not realize anything from this land this year. We must respectfully submit that their condi- tions are no exceptions to that of any other overflowed lands Tn Greene ccun- ty, or any other county in the state. AS to what will be realized by re- planting, depends upon the season, in- telligent management and elbow grease behind it. AMAND P. SMITH. Eutaw, August 8, 1916.

A. P. Smith Writes
 An Appeal for Aid
 In Greene County
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Inasmuch as the communication of MT. J. Innes Thornton for Forkland beat taxpayers, Watsonia, Greene coun- ty, under date July 25, 1916, to The Age e-Herald of July 2S, ultimo. criticises the action of the commissioners court of Greene county and its presiding of ficer, with reference to their action as to the overflowed sufferers in Forkland beat, l feel that it is but just that the public know the facts
 Had the communication, or one very similar to 1t, appeared only in our county papers, I would not have mo- tfced 1t, as our people are well informed as to the conditions of the country re- sulting from the overflow; but as MT. Thornton sought to give publicity to the matter in The Age-Herald, a pa- per of wide circulation in the state, a great injustice might be done our county were the facts not known
 First. I desire to state there was no commissioners court in session at the time referred to by MT. Thornton in his communication.
 The law provides that the regular terms of the court shall be held on the second Mondays of February and Au- gust, mad first Mondays of April and November each year; special terms are held by the direction of the judge or Pi Opo eo opoH IV udyS nOtlce Dy auVer- tisement in some newspaper in tho county or posting notices at the court house door, and two other public places in the county.
 There was no special term called or held, hence no term of the commis- sioners court was held.
 There was meeting of the com missioners. as individual citizens brought about through the efforts of Mir. Thornton, MT. B. B. Barnes, MT. Allen Grubbs, and perhaps others not known to us. for consultation and ad- vice as to the conditions of the suffer- CTS in the flood district near Forkland
 There was no law cited or given by MT. Thornton in the conference. or since then. whereby an appropriation could be made by the commissioners court, if they had been in regular or special session.
 It Is probable however, that MT Thornton and his friends regarded 1t proper to inaygurate new plan for administering the county affairs and not according to law.
 have not seen where a single coun- ty in the state undertook to do. through It's commissioners. what Mir Thornton charged the commissioners of Greene county of flatly refusing to do, and all because the dominant figure put his stamp of disapproval on it: and that the commissioners because of that disapproval went back on, their prom ises.
 This arraignment by Mir Thornton is Q mis-statement of the facts. In truth.

Will Cut Off Hollands Cotton

The Hague, July 9.-England has decld- ed that unless the shipment of cotton by Dutch merchants to neutral countries is discontinued, no further supplies of cot ton will be permitted to Holland. An nouncement to this effect by the British legation has caused some stir throughout Holland. It is generally believed that no room is left for doubting the success of Germany in receiving supplies of cotton in a roundabout way from Holland through neutral countries.
 The Amterdam Telegraaf says that quantities of cotton goods are regularly exported by fraudulent dealers to fcti- tious addresses in Roumania and Swift zerland and ultimately destined for Ger
