GERMAN MILLS ARE
READY FOR COTTON.
Can Consume 100000 Bales, Says
Erwin Thompson.

Washington, July 2S-German cot
ton mills with 10000, 900 spindles, es.
timated as still suitable for operation
can consume about 100000 bales OF
cotton during the next year, if means
are found to finance the movement
of the commodity from the United
States, said report by Erwin w
Thompson, commercial attache of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, made public today.
Mr.. Erwin outlined a plan by which
Danish and Dutch traders may be
furnished cotton for resale to Ger
many and allowed to assume a part OF
the risk. Out of 4,067,01S bales OF
cotton on storage in the United States
on June 80, he estimated very large
preparation was classified in the low
er grades which are especially suita-
BILE for German mills.
Need Lower Grades.
"At this time the German mills
should be eager buyers for the low
est grades" Mr.. Erwin's report said,
pointing out that during the war they
have been operating on wastes, shod-
dy, nettle fibre and paper, owing to
the pressure of the blockade.
Cotton experts are agreed that
the cotton in public storehouses in
the United tates is of the lower
grades, is the most desired by these
mills"
Declaring that the problem for the
American producers and holders of
cotton was to find a way to offer
large assorted stocks of cotton to Ger
man spinners, and at the same time
be secured for the value of their prop
erty, Mr.. Erwin said that warehouses
in Rotterdam, Holland, were now
available for handling such a trade
Could Finance 1t.
Several strong trading companies
in Rotterdam are in position to han
die and finance cotton into Germany
as fast as they can consume it," he
said. Matters can be so arranged
with them that American bankers can
finance the cotton in any amount into
safe warehouses in Holland and the
Hollanders can arrange their own
credits for delivery to German spin
ners in lots to suit their weekly or
monthly requirements.
Owing to great labor troubles at
the moment, it would be hard to start
up spinning at full capacity, even if
the cotton were on the spot, but it is
estimated in a few months after the
cotton arrives the mills could use 40,-
600 bales q month.
Danish traders are willing also to
resume handing cotton into Russia
and would also stand willing to join in
Germany.

ISSUES WARNING AS
TO INFLUENZA.
Health Officer Urger Citizens to Take
Precautions.
The State.

The State:
If influenza runs true to form,
South Carolina may expect another
invasion of the disease this fall and
winter in the opinion of DR.. James A.
Hayne, State health officer.
The disease is even now widely scat
tered over the State. A few cases have
been reported to the State health de-
partment during practically every
month since last October when it was
raging over the whole state. In June
10 cases of influenza were reported
by physicians. 1t is probable that
there were many cases not reported,
DR.. Hayne said yesterday.
''The history of other epidemics of
influenza is that it continues for two
or three years with a gradually les
sening virulence each year. 1 do not
fear an extensive epidemic this fall,
but there will likely be sporadic out
breaks over the State. In order to
keep the disease from spreading, per-
sons who contract it should avoid
places where they may come in con-
tact with others, and persons who
have not contracted it should keep
strictly away from those affected. Per-
sons i'll with the influenza should re-
member that it is an insidious disease,
and when they become i'll with it they
should go to bed and remain there
five days after the fever has left them.
With all the people of the State care
fully conserving their health and TAX
ing no needless risks, hope the dis
ease can be held in check this, win
ter,

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WILL BE RATIFIED
A. w. Mclean Says Republicans Are
On the Run and Trying to Save
Their FaceS-President Wilson i'm
Fine Shape Physically.

That the Republican opponents of
the league of nations are on the run
and are hunting for a way to save
their faces and come into camp is the
general opinion in Washington. &C
cording to Mr.. A. w. Mclean, mem
Der of the War Finance board, who
left yesterday for Washington after
spending two days at his home here.
Mr.. Mclean thinks that the league
will be ratified by the Senate, but
that possibly that will not be done
under five or six weeks.
President Wilson Is looking bet
ter, Mr.. Mclean says, than usual in
fact appears to be in much better
physical condition than he was be-
fore going to Europe. The idea
seems to have gotten abroad that the
President returned from Europe all
tagged out and perhaps on the verge
of physical collapse, and Mr.. Mclean
says he had that idea before coming
into close contact with him several
times recently.
Republican Senators opposing the
league of nations took the plunge be-
fore they realized the sentiment of
the country in favor of it. Mr.. Nc
Lean thinks, and now that they real
ize how strong that sentiment is they
realize they have made "a mistake.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo told Mr.. Mclean the other
day that he found overwhelming
sentiment in favor of the league
among the enormous crowds from
all sections of the country that he
met at the Methodist Centenary cele-
braion art Columbus, O., recently.

TO TRY TO ADVANCE
PRICES OF TOBACCO.
Strong Organization Formed in Pee
Dee District-Harris Asks Co.
operation.

Commissioner Harris is very much
co growers to perfect an organization
somewhat along the lines of the
American Cotton Association. MIR.
Harris was invited to attend and TO
preside over the convention held in
Florence recently and he was unable
to go as he was in Atlanta assisting in
getting the American Cotton Associa-
tion going in South Carolina, but he
sent his earnest wishes for success
and was personally represented in the
meeting.
There were II counties represented
and something over 100 delegates at
the Florence meeting and Mi. Harris
thinks that a splendid organization
was set up. The officers placed at the
head of the campaign are active and
intelligent men.
For 25 years Mr.. Harris has been
working to get the farmers to coop
crate, particularly with reference to
the planting and selling Of cotton,
and he thinks that tobacco is now i'm
portant enough in the value of the
annual crop in this state for the pro-
ducers to have a self protective Or
ganization. He urges the tobacco
growers not to be too easily Modified
with an increase in prices on the
highest grades, but to insist upon fair
prices for the lower grades as well.
1t is the general average price that
will make the crop worth while or
will cause it to become an actual eX-
pense to the producer. The officers Sc
lected at the meeting in Florence are:
President, w. H. Keith, Timmons-
vile; vice presidents, D. D. Rhem of
RHEIMS. N. A. Mcmillan of Mullins,
and Ashton H. Williams of Lake City;
secretary and treasurer, Mason c..
Brunson, of Florence.
Colonel Keith is an active young
farmer and business man of Timmons-
vile and one of the leading citizens
of the Pee Dee. Mason G. Bruson Is
editor and Publisher of the Florence
Daily Times.
The above named officers with the
following, one from each county, COM
pose the executive committee; DR.. j.
H. David of Dillon; T. L. Smith of
Marion; J. M. Meares of Horny; j.
Armstrong Howard, Darlington; R. E.
Currin Florence; S. B. Poston, Will
1iamsburg; w. H. Andrews George
town; o. S. McFadden, Clarendon; E.
w. Dabbs Sumter; Russell Williams,
Berkeley; R. M jenkins I've; D. P.
Douglas Chesterfield; L. A. Walker
Dorchester. There is no representa-
ton from Charleston, Richland, Lex
ington and other counties which grow
tobacco, but have no markets within
those counties.
Mr.. Harris points out that while it
is as strong an orga ization as could
have been perfected for South Caro-
lima, it is not capable of 100 per cent.
of effectiveness unless it cooperates
with similar organizations in other
tates, and he suggests that if the o.
bacco growers in North Carolina and
other states are not now organized,
the South Carolina growers should
see to it that an interstate organiza-
tion is perfected at once.

RACE ROITS IN CHICAGO.
Two Reported Drowned, One Fatally
Wounded and a Number Injured i'm
Series of Riots i'm Negro District.

A series Of riots in the negro dis
tricts late Sunday resulted in the
drowning of one negro, the reported
drowning of white man, probable
fatal injury to another negro, the
wounding of a policeman and injury
to score of whites and blacks by
bullets or missiles.
Police tonight said they had the
situation well in hand.
The trouble started at the 29th
street beach, where whites and blacks
are segregated and soon spread to
State street, the main thoroughfare
in the heart of the negro district,
which exends about five miles.
Shooting started near the beach.
There was also some shooting in the
vicinity of State street.
Although i'll feeling between whites
and blacks on the south side has ex-
tended over period Of months, en-
phasized by bomb explosions, some
shooting and numerous fights, today's
riots seem to have had their start in
petty quarreling at the beach. Re-
ports that negroes wandered across
the dividing line to the white section
of the beach and that whites amused
themselves by throwing small stones
at negro bathers, appeared the most
plausible cause. Soon after the fight
ing started negro fled, pur-
sued by number of whites.
He took shelter behind building
and began shooting at a policeman
who had joined the pursuit and who
returned the fire. The negro finally
surrendered.
During the fight one negro was
probably fatally wounded.
