CONDITION COTTON
AUG. rs 5S.2 PER CENT
Results Will Probably Show Largest
Yield Reduction Ever Recorded

News and Courier.
Columbia, Aug. 28.-The Ameri-
can Cotton Association issued the
following report tonight, placing the
condition of the cotton crop on
August 25 at 58.2 per cent. The
government crop report, giving con-
dition on August 25, will be issued
September 2. There was differ
ence of only per cent in the last
American Cotton Association report
and Tie government report:
'The condition of the growing crop
up to August 25 for the belt is 58.2.
The crop is from two to four weeks
late. 1t has a diseased root system;
sappy and unable to stand reverses;
extremely poorly fruited; shedding
and showing rapid deterioration and
premature opening.
"Insect damage has been record
breaking. Boil weevil damage is the
largest ever known. In addition to
this boil worm, army worm and red
spiders have done serious damage.
There is serious damage also from
boil rot. :.
Labor is extremely short and un-
satisfactory. The gathering Of even
the record-breaking small crop, which
is now certainty, will be most
serious problem. Under favorable
weather conditions delay in gather
ing will be serious and will result in
cotton standing in the fields unpick-
ed, causing crop grade to be low.
With adverse weather conditions loss
es on account of extreme labor con-
ditions will be enormous, resulting in
the largest percentage of off grade
of any crop ever gathered.
acreage abandonment will be 9
Ia per cent. This is the largest
amount ever recorded. The farmers
are forced, on account of the great
scarcity of labor and the record
breaking seasons, to abandon this
amount of acreage. This will show
the largest reduction in the yield
probably ever recorded. No deduc-
ton has been made in our condition
report for abandonment, nor will the
department of Agriculture show any
deduction for acreage abandonment
until the end the season."

PLEDGE TO SALVATION ARMY
DUE SEPTEMBER !

Facing the immense task of home
service reconstruction throughout
Florida, Georgia, North and South
Carolina, in the aftermath of the war
as it strips for action to befriend the
poor through the coming winter, an
urgent appeal has been issued by the
Salvation army that pledges due on
September 1st be met promptly.
'The Salvation army kept faith
fully it's trust in the world war and
stood the acid test," declared Briga-
dier A. W. Crawford, in charge OF
the Salvation army work in the de-
partment of the southeast, with Of
fices in Atlanta, in his appeal for
payment of these pledges.
"And 1 believe the people who sub
scribed to our home service c. IL
paign fund last spring will keep "a: n
with the Salvation army" he added.
"The work this fall and winter will
be four-fold. The full quota of SOL
diers who went to war will be back.
Thousands will need jobs and the
helping hand of the Salvation army"
''The Salvation army stood by them
to the last on the battle line-it will
not desert them now"
Throughout the country the activ-
tiles of the Salvation army in recon-
struction fairly whiz. Industrial
homes, rescue homes, the Salvation
army stores where the poor may sup
ply their needs for mere pittance-
or Tor nothing-and all of it's other
charitable institutions practically
are being rebuilt.
The Salvation army drained It's
every resource in rushing to the AID
of the country and the succor CT IT'S
soldier boys, when the war broke out.
Now it must go back and weld to-
gether the links it dropped in its
chain of endeavor at home.
Payment of the pledges that fall
due on September 1st means The
keeping of a double trust-fulfllt-
ment of the Salvation army's duty
to mankind and the keeping by the
people of the department Of the
southeast of it's promise to the army.

WILSON LEAVES
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Opening Address Will be at Colum-
bus, Ohio, Probably Thursday
Evening.

Washington, Aug. 28.-President
Wilson will leave Washington next
Wednesday on tour of the country
to give an account to the people of
the negotiation of the treaty of Ver-
sailles.
Secretary Tumulty made this an
nouncement today, finally putting at
rest rumors current during the past
few weeks that the proposed trip,
which would take the president to
the Pacific coast, had been abandon
ed. The trip will occupy rs days,
and speeches appealing for immed-
late ratification of the peace treaty
without change, will be made in the
principal cities of the west.
The opening address, Secretary
Tumulty said, will be at Columbus,
Ohio, next Thursday, probably in the
evening.
Eleventh hour changes by Presi-
dent Wilson prevented announce
ment today of the completed timer
ary as had been planned. White
House officials worked far into last
night completing the details of the
tour but today when it was sent to
the president he made slight changes
that necessitated, reconstructing the
entire route. Announcement will
therefore, be made tomorrow Secre-
tary Tumulty said tonight.
Some of the stops en- route to the
Pacific coast have become known and
according to the best information
available the second speech will be
made at Indianapolis, followed by
speeches at St. Louis, Kansas City
and Topeka, in the order named.
From the latter city the presidential
party will go to Omaha, thence to
Sioux Falls, S. D., St. Paul or Min
neapolis, and Bismarck, N. D.
Then will follow speeches at Bill
ings, and Helena, Mont, Occur
d'Alene, Idaho; Spokane; possibly
Seattle; Portland, Ore, San Francis
co, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
Speeches may be made from the
train between these cities but it is
known the president is opposed to
making open air addresses.
Returning from the Pacific coast
the belief is that stops will be made
at Reno, New, Salt Lake City, Utah;
Denver and Oklahoma City, thence
south and eastward, probably to
Louisville, Ky. 1t is not believed
the president will go very far into
the southwestern and southern States

BRYAN DISCUSSES
RAILROAD PROBLEM
Nebraskan Denounces Magnates Ae
Corruptionists-Hou Commit
tee Hears Warfield.

Washington, Aug. 29.-William
Jennings Bryan today laid before the
house interstate commerce committee
his dual plan Of state and federal
ownership of railroad lines as a solu-
tion of the railroad reorganization
problem. In doing so the former Sec
retary of state denounced private
ownership of the railways as inde-
fensible and intolerable and charac-
terized railway magnates as political
corruptionists.
eve have never tried government
ownership" declared Mr.. Bryan, re-
ferring to the railroad administra-
ton. "a subsidized newspaper never
thinks to tell that the government
took over the railroads when the pri-
vate owners could not run them. tt
government has been only in tempo
rary control and the roads in the
hands of those who wanted to see
government ownership fail so they
could get the roads back"
Mr.. Bryan advocated that the fed
eral government own skeleton
trunk line system reaching into every
State which in turn would own the
other carriers within the State boun-
daries. His plan, he estimated,
would cost the government four or
five billion dollars, while State own
ership would be decided by the peo-
pie. who might decide for te emporary
private ownership.
The committee also heard S. Davis
Warfield, who said his railroad plan
for minimum interest return of 6
per cent on rail securities through a
mandatory adjustment of rates by
the interstate commerce committee
was in principle indorsed by "5O,-
100000 persons, owners or directly
interested in railroad securities"
Representative of the coastwise
shipping companies urged that port
rates should not be put under the
control of the interstate commerce
commission in reorganization legisla-
.tion.
Mr.. Bryan said the railroad must
be considered as a monopoly and
s'that no one can defend private
monopoly unless he has so much
stock in it that it silences his consci-
ence.
Mr.. Bryan agreed with the funda-
mental proposition Of the Plumb
plan that the government should
own the roads, and such nationaliza-
tion he asserted was better than pri-
vate monopoly.
AS for political power under a ma
tionalization. scheme, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared the government could do no
worse than private ownership, for the
railroads have been in politics every
day for the last rs years." Senators
and representatives, State officials
and others have been elected because
of railroad influence he charged.

TEST WILL COME
IN NINETY DAYS
Efforts of Government to Reduce
Cost of, Living Will be Closely
Watched.

Washington, Aug. 28.-lndustrlal
peace in the United States depends
on the results the government can
show in the next 90 days in it's cam
paign to reduce the cost of living.
That time limit was tacitly set to-
day by the executive council of the
railroad shop crafts in suggesting to
union locals throughout the country
that President Wilson's compromise
offer in response to their demand for
higher wages should be accepted
pending the outcome of the effort to
restore normal price level.
If the cost of living does not come
down, the 100000 members OF the
shop crafts would reserve the right
to strike for more money, and with
chem probably would be associated
the remainder of the 2,500,OOO rail-
road employees, all Of whom have
been considering the same problem.
The letter Of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
easiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and to
focus attention on the legal measures
being directed by Attorney General
Palmer and his assistant, Judge
-Ames, to- take the initiation out Of
prices by Furnishing hoarders and
profiteers.
'sIn cur opinion" the letter said,
ssthe next 80 days will bring the en-
tire situation to a head, and If a
strike is to take place every class OF
railroad employees should be willing
to join in the movement, share their
full measure of responsibility and
not leave the issue to be decided by
the 22 per cent. of the railroad en-
pIoyees represented by the federal
trades"
Apprehension was evident, how
ever, both in the letter and In the
conversation of international officers
that men might not be willing to ac-
c4pt the suggestion that the question
of a strike be left in the hands of the
executive council and a suspension
of work to be ordered only after a
reasonable time" had made it clear
that such a step was necessary to at
ford relief. The letter said the pro-
posal was certain to draw criticisms
from individuals 'swho have not as
vet indicated desire to listen to
reason" and that it was conceivable
some men would want to rush into a
strike now. Officers of the unions
declined to hazard a guess whether
the advice would prevail, but hoped
that the moderate element would
dominate the deliberations.
Attorney General Palmer has said
that a few convictions for flagrant
cases of profiteering and boarding
would end that trouble within 60
days. In order to obtain criminal
convictions for such persons, whom
the administration believes to be
guilty of bringing the country into
Aaore serious danger even than the
war with Germany, amendment of the

gress is necessary. The legislation
