COTTON is NOW GOING
DIRECT TO GERMANY
Shipments Are Being Made From Gal
weston and Other Ports and
Markets are Wide Open.

Atlanta, Sept. 21.-United States
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgit has
advised cotton men here today that
cotton is going direct to Germany
from Galveston and other ports.
1t was reported few days ago that
the Georgia senator was dissatisfied
with the government reports he had
received affecting the immediate fu-
ture of the cotton export business,
and he has wired the collectors of
customs at New York and all other
ports to get definite information.
The report was an error, as Senator
Smith has expressed himself as being
perfectly satisfied with the situation.
Shipments are wide open to and from
Germany. The senator simply COM
municated with the port collectors
for the purpose of ascertaining to
what extent the opportunity to ship
cotton was being used.
Senator Smith finds, rs he advised
cotton men, that cotton is going di-
rect to Germany from Galveston and
other ports.

MUST REDUCE FOOD PRICES.
Official Spent Day in
Town Investigating Prices.

A representative from the Depart
ment of Justice spent Tuesday In the
city with Food Administrator Davis
and after making Investigations said
that certain foods were being sold
above the market price. The official
made notes of his Investigations
which will be forwarded to headquart-
ers. Among the articles being sold
above the market price, said the Of
ficial were mostly canned goods, but
ter, beef and cheese. The native beef
is being sold at the right price, but
western beef, said the official,
should be sold for 2 cents pound
less than the native beef. The Off
cial spent most of the day with the
grocerymen. At present the govern
ment is investigating food prices
but will soon turn its attention to
such articles as clothing, shoes, etc.
it is likely that the official will re-
turn to Dillon in a short while and
make Investigations along this line
in order to see that the law is be-
ing complied with. No charges of
profiteering were preferred against
Dillon merchants, but their attention
was called to the prices being charg-
ed in other towns for the same arti-
cles, and it is likely that these prices
will be reduced to conform to the
government regulations. Food Ad-
ministrator Davis will shortly an7
point a Fair Price" committee which
will publish from week to week the
prices at which food should be sold.
This will enable the consumer to
know whether or. not he is being
overcharged. The. retail merchant is
allowed to charge certain per cent.
above the wholesale price and it is
the governments business to see that
the retail man is not over-charged by
the wholesale man. If there Is an
overcharge it Is the duty OF the re-
tail merchant to report the matter
to the proper authorities, the same
as it is the duty Of the consumer to
report an overcharge by the retail
man. Under this arrangement whole
saler, retailer and consumer are pro-
tected. The government official here
Tuesday did not attempt to fix prices
on the various articles handled by
the grocerymen, but told them what
profit they were allowed on the
goods they handled, and instructed
them to stick to that profit. The Of
ficial said he did not find any inten-
tional profiteering, and that the Dill
lon merchants expressed themselves
as willing to cooperate with the gov
ernment in carrying out the spirit and
letter of the law.

tiors approving of the action Of

The resolutions condemned in
strong terms the crime that aroused
1000 men and sent them on twen-
ty-four hour search Of swamps and
woods. which was concluded with the
shooting of the negro and the burn
ing of his body At the time the crime
was committed Cox was under in
dictment for an attack on a negro
woman. He is said to have confess
ed before death to the crimes.
Negroes who took the stand that
the lynching was justified were said
to have consisted of some of the most
orderly and prosperous in Oglethorpe
county where the white woman was
killed. "Nick" Walter, a negro who
leases and operates farm of sever
al ploughs, was said by officials at
Lexington to have taken leading
part in the adoption of the resolu-
tions. Just how many negroes TOOK

CRITICIZES THE PRESIDENT.
PenrOse Declares He Brought JewelS
From Europe.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Penrose, Republican, Pennsylvania,
declared in the Senate today that
President Wilson and his party
brought back from the Paris peace
conference jewels and other gifts
from crowned heads,' which he had
been told were worth more than one
million dollars.
Interrupting a speech by Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizonia, who
said that in 1910 it had been proposed
to prohibit acceptance of gifts from
foreign rulers by the President, N
ator Penrose asked if the Arizona
Senator had in mind gifts made Ia
President Wilson while in Europe.
Il know nothing Of that Sena-
tor replied, "but if any Democrat ac-
cepted such gifts he would receive
my condemnation as quickly as if he
were a Republican"
Il have been told that the Presi-
dent and his party came back over
burdened with presents from crown.
ed heads and foreign governments"
Senator Penrose said. There was
jewelry valued at hundreds Of thous-
ands, and I was told that customs
authorities valued the gifts at more
than million dollars 8.
