PIRATE PRESIDENT
TO SHAKE UP LEAGUE
viii Try to Throw Meeting
Wide Open---SuggestiOns
Swamp Session
BY H. @. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Dee 13..Balked in his
first effort to upheave the National
league magnates in session at the Wal
dorf, Barney Dreyfuss,, Pirate presi-
dent, will make an effort today to
break all precedent and throw the meet
ing open, at the same time unlimber-
ing his heaviest artillery on Garry
Hermann. The club owners were too
busy Yesterday to listen to Barney s
troubles, so he has been held off a few
hours.
Barney wants a change in the ma
tional commission and wants the thing
settled right at this meeting. He be
lieves he was crossed Just wee bit in
the deal whereby George Sisler became
a Brownie and he has taken am oath
not to rest until he boots Garry Herr
mann into the presidency OF the Gin
cinnati Reds and that alone.
Commission changes and suggestions
are almost submerging the National
league. j. Cal Ewing of the Pacific
Coast league and two other members of
a committee of the minor leagues dumb
founded the Tener family with a de-
mand that minor league affairs be TAX
en- out of the. hands of the national
commission and placed before another
board of appeals.
Presidents Baum of the Pacific Coast
league; Bickey of the American associ-
alton and Barrow of the International
league asked that the draft be elimin
ated from their circuits.
When the National league recovers
from these shocks it win again 90 into
session. This will be sometime after
noon. In the meantime John McGraw
will reconcile himself to player limit
OF twenty two, which was decided up
on.
| Chardles H. Weeghman is expected
to officially announce the name of his
new Cub manager today.
Jimmy Callahan, managers of the
Pirates and Pat Moran, manager of
the Phillies, are two bench warmers at
| the National league meeting, but they
consistently say there is nothing to
report along the entire 'front.'
| The pickers had John McGraw and
George Stallings shunted to the Cubs
at one time, Then q big trade was
pulled off in Peacock Alley which in
volved sending Stallings to the Giants
and McGraw to the Cubs, while Fred
Mitchell was expected to run the
Braves.
Christy Mathewson and Barney Drey-
fuss are splitting interest. Matty has a
| new white beaver hat and Barney left
| his mustache at home

distinctly better tone today. In the
first hour, the buying was hesitant at
times and prices more or less unsteady,
due very likely to cross currents gen
eraled by out-of-town selling and local
buying. By the time the news of Ger
manys peace move had been com
municated to the more distant places
and digested, local liquidation had been
about completed. The offering of
stocks was not as eager as the bears
anticipated. Moreover, the speculative
position has been immeasurably i'm.
proved, very much to the satisfaction
of banking circles. This was reflected
in an easier tone in money rates both
on Tuesday and today.

Evening Sun financial review today

The all-absorbing topic in commission
houses and throughout the financial
district today, was, of course, the out
look for peace following Germany IS
overtures. While Wall Street does not
believe that the entente governments
will accept the terms offered, nor in
deed, any terms at this time, it never

ceivably form a basis for q peace con

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys-
TEN 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 II. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber OF Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions Ii
tie southeast.
The south must stop forever its
time-honured system of economic SUI
eide" says Mr. hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward
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, 1t is
going to be a great temptation 10
drop back into the old habit 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 Jy 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.
eff the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankTupted 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"

RELIEF OF FLOOD VICTIMS.
Second Allotment Of Funds Is
Received at Charleston.

The second allotment of flood re-
lief funds, requested of the war de-
partment for this State some time
ago, has been received and will be
ready for distribution as soon as re-
ports from the counties arrive.
Previously letters were sent to the
various counties in the State asking
that they send reports relative to
employment. This was done for
the purpose of equalizing the funds
among the counties, and no funds of
the second allotment will be sent
out until the United States army
engineer, Major G A Youngberg,
knows of what money is needed in
each county.
Pay rolls are coming into the en-
gineer's office, but some are not
made up as we'll as they might be.
A circular will be sent 20 the local
authorities in each county in charge
of the flood relief work, instructing
them in the way pay rolls should be
made up and sent. One part of the
circular says: "All pay rolls covered
by Federal funds must be accurate,
complete and in such condition that
they will pass the auditor. for the
war department, of the treasury de-
partment." The end of the circular
states that everything in it must
be complied with. Otherwise pay
rolls cannot be honored, and pay
ment will be delayed till errors have
been corrected. ."-Thesdays's Nsncs

in its deliverance:
The returns indicate victory
for the constitution and law. At
such a time a sense of profound
gratitude to Almighty God fills our
hearts. | have never seen a time
when the people of South Carolina
were more stirred over an election.
It is a victory of the people in sup

realize their duty and when real
danger, a crisis. confronts them,
they meet it as true patriots and
settle it Alright. Splendid work has
been done by the citizens and their
work has been rewarded by success.
If this victory is assured, and / be-
lieve it is assured, we must see that
bitterness and strife are subdued
and allayed and that we must all as
citizens of one State and as breth-
rem in a common cause unite in the
great work of upbuilding our State
