GEORGE
INFORMS Irish
HE STANDS FIRM
Leaves Door ODen For
Peace But Waits
Early Action

LONDON, Aug 27.-David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister
sent a prompt rcioinder to the letter
Of Eamonn de Valera, president Of
tho Irish Republic, which rejected
the British terms for peace in Ire
land.
The PREMIER note constituted
firm reitcration Of the government s.
former standpoint, that ireland could
not be permitted to withdraw from
the empire He said he thought he
had made it clear in conversations
and previous communications thai
the government "can discuss no set
tlement which involves a refusal ON
the part of Ireland to accept free
equal and loyal partnership in the
British commonwealth under one GOV
ereign."
Mr.. Lloyd George in concluding his
note. still held open the door for fur
ther negotiations with Mr. De Valera
and his colleagues if they are pre-
pared to examine how far the gov
crnmcnt's consideration may be rec
Onciled with the aspirations you rep
resent" He declared, however, that
the government could not "prolong a
mere exchange of notes.
In his communication, Mr.. Moyd
George preserved he same friendly
tone that characterized his former
letter to Mr.. de Valera. In the last
letter he buttressed to the govern
ments standpoint by quotations
from Irish patriots and Abraham Lin
coin. He warned Mr. de Valera that
4 needless prolongation of the nego-.
tiations would serve to play into the
hands of the extremists. who he de
clared were only TOO anxious to wreck
the negotiations and terminate the
truce.
A hopeful aspect Of the situation
as it is viewed in London political
circles is that neither Mr. de Valera,
in his latest communication, nor Mr..
Lloyd George has yet closed the door
on the negotiations.

Cotton Advances. $500 BaleEIere In One Week
l,l35 BALES ARE
WEEKS RECEIPTS;
SPOTS NOW l1l-2
Marked Advance Cause
OF Farmers ConGratu-
latinq Selves

Cotton Saturday closed its best
week in more than year, a fact upon
which farmers and business men were
congratulatiug themselves heartily.
Since last Saturday the spot market
had advanced three cents a pound or
SIS per bale, going from II IL
with little demand week ago, to
IA IL cents at active demand The
market closed firm Saturday, with
the close on the New York exchange
only a few points below the high
mark for the week, the high being
scored few minutes from the close.
The receipts by the Americus ware
houses for the week, up to noon Sat
urday totalled 1,135 bales, against
257 received up to noon the pre-
ceding Saturday. Picking is progress
ing rapidly and gins are working full
time all over the county. The oil
mills are busy, too Wagon seed is
bringing S25 per ton at the Amerl-
Gus mills, the market for cotton seed
oil being weak, it is said, because OF
! the competition Of low priced hogs
and lard.
The conIued advance in the ton
market is due to continued poor con-
/ dltou reports pouring into the ex-
change from private sources. Prog
nosticators are now revising their fig
urcs, and whereas they recently pro-
phesied 3 cent cotton by November
or December, many are talking of 20
cent cotton, and a number of Sum-
ter county farmers, who have old cot
ton on hand, have declared them
selves as holding for that price. The
bulk of the cotton that is coming in,
however is being sold at once. Fri
days largest sale locally was lot
Of 1877 bales, which went to Coffin
Brothers, Of Richand. at, 1920 cents.

The declaration of President
Gompers Of the American Federation
of Labor that the American working
man is entitled to to something better
than standard of living which gives
him and his family the bare neces-
stiles of life and that he will not go
back to this standard without MAX
ing a desperate struggle is thing
which needed to be said
For it is the undoubted purpose
of certain reactionary group of
employers to bring tbout just such
condition.
Gompers puts the proposition
thus forcefully and pictureshueIy;
Everybody knows that there has
been but a slight reduction in the
cost of living. A hog gets it swill,
a horse its feed and both are given
shelter. But food and shelter alone
must not be regarded as the basis
of the cost Of living of the American
workman.
"He must not be put in the same
class as the lower animals. He re-
class and deserves something more
than a bare existence. He is en-
titled to a few of the IuHuries and
finer things of life And we arc going
to keep right on fighting to see that
he pctS them"
