With the American Army on the

1t was contingents of the noted Rain
bow Division and of the First Di-
vision that made the final whirlwind
dash into Sedan.
It is now permissible to mention
the division which participated in the
famous drive that cleared that Part
Of France west of the Meuse occupied
by the Americans. 1t was the Sec
ond Division which, operating at the
center, made the strenuous push on
the afternoon of the day the Ger
mans began to weaken and pressed
forward until it controlled the heights
below Beaumont. This made possible
the Smelling of the Mezeleres-Metz
railroad.
The Fifth Division (regulars)
crossed the Meuse under machine
gun fire, aided by the Thi~rty-second
Division and covered themselves with
glory for four consecutive days.
Continuing it's success in the Ar
come Forest, the Seventy-seventh
Division fought it's stubborn way up
ward along Bourgonne Wood, in con-
junction with the Seventy-eigth.

SHOULD NOT SELL COTTON.
Summers Calls on Farmers to Hold
Staple.

oCap1cs
"Do not rush your cotton to the
market in case of a sudden and sharp
break in either direction" That is
the advice which A. G.. Summers,
State commissioner of agriculture,
Monday to the cotton farmers of
this State. "The fact that the cotton
markets of the world are closed to-
day indicates that there will be some
heavy barrage work followed by snip
ing on the part of the bear interests
when they get an opportunity, and
the farmers must not be startled by
any. clustering attack.
Having attended all of the con-
%ferences at which the cotton situation
has been considered by the represen-
tatives of the farmers of the South
ern States, l wish to state most posi-
lively that cotton, even while the war
was in progress, had an intrinsic
value of not less than 40 cents. This
estimate is based not alone upon the
size of the crop, but upon the cost of
production and the losses on &C.
count of drought and other causes.
Also, the cost of replacing this crop
with next years crop is not an in
siderable actor that the farmer must
be permitted to figure upon, as the
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-11-14

merchant does in a similar condition.
With the war practically over, with
the enormous war risk insurance re-
moved from transatlantic shipping,
there is every reason to declare that
cotton is actually and intrinsically
worth more today than it was yester-
day, because the opportunity to mark
ct it is so greatly improved.
"There will be either a sharp de-
cline or a sharp upward movement,
and the purpose of this statement is
to urge our farmers to hold their cot
ton until they al get not less than
35 cents-and then to keep on hold
ing it. The situation is in our hands,
and the farmers will win if they do
not permit themselves to be imposed
upon and the South robbed of mil
lions of dollars. At 81 a pound Tex
as would yet be the loser on this
crop, and South Carolina yves it to
her sister States to stick with them
in this fight to hold cotton. until there
shall be reached a price which will
be fair and reasonably profitable. We
do not wish the farmers of South
Carolina to take advantage of any
situation in an improper manner, but
when we consider how the South
suffered in the early fall of 1914
while other farming sections were
faring better, WI must feel that the
farmers are entitled to about all that
they can get out of this present

A HUGE SEA MONSTER.
LANDED After a Struggle of Two Day
{ and Nights.

The following is taken from the
Tampa Daily Times:
Through the courtesy of the Wide
World Magazine, Captain Thompson
is permitted to publish the artists
conception of his thrilling battle
with the deep e monster, which
lasted for two days and a night and
which was the most nerve-racking
experience that aver befell mariner
or sportsman. In the terrible ordeal
which followed, Captain Thompson
lost sixteen pounds in weight as a
result of the terrific strain and was
near complete exhaustion before his
capture was safely landed. The crea-
lures enormous strength was evil
denced by the fact that it knocked
the stern, rudder and propeller off
q t%hirty-one ton yacht while in a dy-
ing condition. It also knocked Is
feet of temporary piling from UNDER
meath the trestle of the Florida East
Coast railway at knights Key, Fla.
These facts are authentic and can be
verified.
The monster was forty-fve feet
long and weighed thirty thousand
pounds.
It's liver alone weighed 400
pounds, or more. than ten full grown
men put together.
It is tWenty-three feet around the
body and it's tail measured ten feet
from tip to tip,
It had swallowed an octopus
weighing 1900 pounds which vas
still alive in it's stomach when
caught.
It could have swallowed twenty
Jonahs without suffering the slight
est pangs of indigestion.
1t smashed a boat into thousands
of pieces and crushed the rudder and
propeller of a thirty-one-ton yacht
with a single swish of its mighty
tail.
Five harpoon thrusts and $50
large calibre rifle bullets only served
to increase it's fury and it took five
days to finally kill it.
The battle lasted thirty-nine hours
two days and a night-in open
sea with the monster dragging a
small boat at express train speed for
hundreds of miles.
Smithsonian authorities believe
that the creature was an inhabitant
of depths more than 1900 feet be-
low the surface and that it was blown
up by some subterranean or volcanic
upheaval which injured it's diving
apparatus so it was unable to return
to it's native depths.
It's hide is three inches thick and
