War Hero Tells Carney's S
Point Men, They, Too,

ONLY SAFE GERMAN
DEAD ONE, HE SAYS

One OF the most eloquent in the
series OF war talks being given before
Ihe powder makers at Carney's Point
was delivered at the Y. NJ. C. \. audit
orium last night by Captain w. X. Har-
rls OF the British Army. Captain Harris
mas an enviable record for gallantry in
the war, having been decorated four
times for bravery and being the recipi-
.nt OF the distinguished service order.
He was in charge OF scouting expedi-
lions for several months. Their duties
st the front were TO crawl out each
aight into NO Mans Land In search
FOR information and prisoners.
He painted a vivad picture OF actual
battle conditions and for more than an
aour held the attention Of the workers
with descriptions OF scenes similar 10

lie warned against the treachery OF
she Germans. We can't trust them'
be said. "And our boys can't trust
hem. The only safe German is a dead
German. and then you have to be sure
80 IS dead" He told how in one OF the
ADVANCE movements he passed a Ger
nan soldier apparently dead. with his
life lying a yard so so from him.
He passed on after giving the man
glance, but had proceeded only a few
ieet when the German rose up, reached
Ior his rifle and tried 20 shoot him
through the back. An orderly attended
70 the Hun. The incident was typical,
1e said, and made the war a vicious
battle OF determination.
Captain Harris made an eloquent plea
for cooperation with the American
soldiers overseas. lie told the powder
workers that all the heroism, all the
self-sacrilce, all the privatiOns the
Americans are going through would be
useless II they did not have the full and
absolute cooperation Of the men at

he said, was the demand.

Don't Waste Your Wood.

Now Is the time to make a change
in the old-time custom of burning up
log heaps following the clearing OF
new land. Unless this matter is
strongly urged through county pa
pers and other publicity agents, large
quantities Of wood will be thus vast
ed which should be laid aside for
fuel next winter. If the farmer can
not use the wood himself, doubtless
some neighbor, school house, or
church would be glad to have it
when cold weather comtp. Thousands
OF farmers must provide themselves
with wood for next winter in place of
tho coal they will not be able to
get.
The railroads which we're accus-
toned to burn the discarded ties an
nually have largely stopped this
practice to conserve fuel. Let others
who have quantities Of apparently
useless wood do the same. Post
pone burning your waste wood.
Sharp need will arise for it next
winter.

Cotton Prices Are Uncertain.
Progressive Farmer.)


AS this Is written, spot cotton in
New York has dropped from SO
cents on April to slightly over 80
cents-a fall Of nearly six cents in
less than two weeks. At the same
time in New Orleans cotton for Oc-
tober delivery dropped from some
thing over 81 cents to about 28-a
drop Of between five and six cents.
(And the price Is still falling, and
there Is not any telling where it will
stop.)
These big breaks in the cotton
market do not mean that the world
does not need cotton; but they do
mean that it is becoming very doubt
full whether we will have the ships
to move our cotton.
Our allies in Europe are begging
for men and food, not for cotton;
and 1t Is safe guess that Uncle Sam
will use every available ship to get
men and foodstuffs to them, letting
cotton and other less essential COM
modities wait, at least until the crisis
is passed.
For the Southern farmer, there Is
lesson and a warning in the pres
ent situation. All the American
mills and munition plants will prob
ably not consume this year, includ-
ing linters, much over eight million
bales. This means, unless the ship
ping situation improves, that stocks
Of raw cotton probably will accumu-
late and force the market down. AL
most certainly will this be the case
If we unduly increase the acreage
and consequently the size of the next
crop.
The time is too critical and the flu
ture too uncertain for the Southern
farmer to gamble. Cotton may or
may not be good price next fall; !;
but one thing is certain, and that is
that we must eat and our livestock
must be fed. In view of these facts,
it is nothing but the sheerest folly If
we fail to grow an abundance Of food
and feed crops. If this is done, we
can get along, no matter how low
cotton goes.
Don't gamble; play safe. Au-cot-
ton may mean ruin.

DR.. Daniel for Congress ?
(Anderson Nfail.)


There is bit Of interesting politi-
cal gossip going the rounds these
days to the effect that DR.. D. w.
Daniel, professor of English at Glenn
Son College, will be candidate for
Congress from the Third District.
Besides being scholar and patriot,
DR.. Daniel is an orator of great abil-
fty, and he will make splendid i'm
pressions upon the people of the dis
trict when he goes on the stump 1t
will be recalled that DR.. Daniel was
offered the presidency Of Columbia
College about two years ago, but he
declined, preferring the chair of Eng
lish at Clemson for the time being.
He has spent his summers on the
chautauqua circuits, and Is to-day
recognized as one of the best and
most forecful platform speakers in
the South. DR.. Daniel has made no
announcement as yet as to whether
Or not he will be candidate for
Congress, but it is understood that
he is seriously considering the mat
ter, and some announcement from
him can be expected by the public
within the very near future.

Making the Enemy Blue.
(GreenVille News.


Certain German prisoners taken
lately are reported to be much de-
pressed. The cause OF their depres-
sion was the spectacle of American
troops marching past their camp in
one continuous procession for four
days.
"I had heard that America was in
the war;" remarked a German officer.
"It was denied for a long time, but
has recently been admitted. None
Of us. though, had any idea that
Americans were in France by the
hundreds of thousands. We were
told that they couldn't get over on
account Of the U-boats. And we
never imagined that any large part
of those that had arrived were ready
to fight"
1t was indeed a sight to give a
loyal subject Of the Kaiser the blues.
And as the truth about our military
progress percolates through Ger
many, 1t will make the German ma
ton blue, thereby Fastening the end
Of the war.
