The lowered price of cotton in the
past ten days as direct result of price
fixing talk at Washington proves con-
clusively that price.fixing would ruin
the cotton grower. The demand for
cotton has forced the price up as it has
of every other commodity in the land
and the very discussion of fixing a
price for the staple Immediately causes
spectators to put the prices down and
to refuse purchases at almost any price,
because they prefer to wait and buy
after the Government has fixed low
or price, The price of cotton has not
increased above the increase in the
price of corn, wheat, oats, hogs, cattle
and other farm products and to fix
price on the staple would be unjust to
to the cotton farmer and in favor of
the Spectator and the cotton goods
manufactures.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY Loan
IL viii Open Its Campaign Sept. %
and viii Close Oct 19.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 20
and close October 10. The result Of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the Teu-
tonic powers but by our enemies. II
will be regarded by them as meas
ure OF the American peoples support
OF the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and significance
Of popular support of the war, of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds
our enemies will sorrow; as It falls
short they will rejoice. Every dol
lar subscribed will help and encour-
age the American soldiers and hurt
and depress the enemies OF America.
The loan will be a test Of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people OF
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our
money? Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare pot their very livesH

Statistics compiled by reliable chan
nels show that the American farmer
before the present war received As per
cent of the amount consumer paid for
his products, and 65 per cent went to
handlers between produc er and consum.
er. Farmers in Denmark receive 65
per cent for their products of what the
consumer pays. This difference is due
to the cumbersome trade customs in
America.

A fter the fight at st. Mihiel in
Southern France a few days ago which
was strictly an American army project
the German will evidently change his
pre-wG opiouion of the unframed"

That the entire American public is
backing President Wilson and his war
program is evidenced in the recent e.
lections over the country, when not q

was chosen to sit in the next congress.
All things else were relegated and the
people named legislators in harmony

WHAT ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY

The Food Production Drive which
took much of the time of the County
Agents during April has proven its
value. Farmers we're asked to state,
on pledge sheets prepared for the pur-
pose, the number Of acres in certain
staple crops on their farms Ia 1917 and
tho number they planned for the same
crops in 1918. The response was al
most unanimous where farmers could
be reached, The results for the Gov.
eminent will bring Tennessee to "the

Wheat Production and the
Draft

Figures show that Carter county,
Tennessee, has already furnished more
than $40 farmers to the army since the
war began. This is typical of many
other counties in the State. And. in
addition. hundreds of farm hands have
been induced to leave the farms to work
ia factories.
At the same time, the Government
is putting forth every effort to increase
wheat production. Hundreds of BUSH
els of wheat will be needed next year.
Again, the registration of me9from
Is to as has taken place, and classified
ton will begin in few weeks, A
member of one of the district boards
of Tennessee recently promised the
farmers publicly that those who are
doing their full duty by the Government
will not in the future have their labor
taken away. The United States De
partment of Agriculture will bend ev-
cry effort to hold labor on farms.
Farms who wish to help the Govern
ment. and at the same time hold their
labor, can certainly choose no wiser
course than to put out good sized
wheat crop this fall.

and the meetings of the Peace Congress
are gradually being matured. II was the
first intention to have the Interalhed

the inability Of Premier LLOYD George

because Of the British elections and the
approaching holidays, the formal session
will not be resumed until January |

The entry Of Generals Fayollc and
MangiD into Mainz at 2 o'clock Satur-
day created profound impression on
that part of the population that did
not remain indoors. II was one of the
most memorable ceremonies of the oc-
cupation.
The strong guard of French troops re-
quested by the authorities Of the city
had put an end to the pillaging Of the
military stores on Dec. 9. Their con-
duct since that time had provoked the
most favorable comment on the part of
citizens and officials and that impress
sion was strengthened Saturday when
the men of the Tenth Army marched
through Mainz with the same dignity
that has characterized the forward
movement of the French everywhere
into German territory.
The Frcnchmen swung through the
old Hessian town which was French
for n score of years after occupation
by the revolutionary armies, with the
busincsslike gait so familiar in the last
four and half years, apparently un-
conscious that they were victors march

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Foreign Sec retary Balfour and Chancellor Bonar Law conferred with Premier Lloyd George today regarding Bulsaria's request for peace.
 Peace with Bulgaria would free the entire Saloniki Army for an in vasion directly against Austria, and leave the way open to the Black Sea for the Entente Powers.
 Another important effect it would have would be to block most of the main German lines of communication to the East and cut off Constanti- nople and Turkey. Much of Ger. many's oil and muntion supplies are now being received over the routes which would thus be severad.
