American orders for knitted goods at
prices 80 per cent higher than they
wore in June.
Strong Demand for Iron
The iron trade journal, Stahl und
Essen, reports a great demand for
structural iron. 1t says that big for
eign orders for wire have been re-
ceived and that the works producing
railroad materials have orders that
will keep them busy for months ahead.
The prices are now between 200 and
700 marks ton higher than the May

Another Payment
BY Germany Here
On Preparations
Reichsbank S., 900, 900 Bal
ance Said TO Have Been
Turned Over 10 Morgan
& Co. for Allied Account

The German government made
new payment on Preparations account
in the New York market yesterday,
the transaction involving, it is under
stood, the transfer from the large
Reichsbank balances here Of approx
imately $b,000.000 to J. p. Morgan &
Co. for the account of Great Britain
and Belgium.
While no Official announcement of
the operation was made, it was learned
in authoritative quarters that at least
two of the four American banking in
situations acting as agents for the
Reichsbank had received cable in
structions from Berlin 3to make the
payments. The four institutions are
the Equitable Trust Company, the
Guaranty Trust Company, Hallgarten
g. Co. and Speyer & Co. which have
acted on other recent occasions for the
German bank in making reparation
payments in dollars.
This is thn first time that J. P Nor
gan g. Co. have figured in the repara-
having been made to the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York, which acted
as a depository for the Bank of Eng
land and the Bank of France.
Cables received here yesterday said
that the first billion marks paid by
Germany to the AlliNs was to be
divided between payment of the costs
of the British army of occupation and
the payments to Belgium under the
latter's priority claim. The Allied
Financial Commission has also de-
cided, it was said, that the value Of
the Sarre mines is to be reckoned as
among the payments received by
France up to May l.
Two weeks ago Germany paid SIS, 000,-
900 through its New York agencies
into the Federal Reserve Bank on rep
arations account, while in June two
payments amounting approximately
to $5O,0O00O0 were made. Germany
has three months treasury bills to
be turned over to the Allies fall
ing due the end of the current month,
against the maturity of which bal
ances are being accumulated both here
and in London.
German exchange declined to the
lowest level Of the year yesterday,
when the mark sold at the equivalent
of 1.16 cents. Offerings of mark cx-
change came from Switzerland and
Holland as we'll as other points on
the Continent on arbitrage operations,
holders Of marks finding this to be
the best market in which to SELL

INDICTED FOR KIDNAPPING

Cape May, N. j., Sept. 1s.-Rob-
ert Emmet Woodland was indicted
today for the kidnapping Of his two
year-old son, Jack, and his three
year-old daughter, Margaret, who
were taken from their home here
last July. His brother, Robert Wood
land, and his sister law, Beulah
Woodland, also were indicted.
The two children were traced to
Lewes, Del, and after a two-month
search the boy was recovered in
Richmond, Va, and the girl in At
lanta, Ga. The search was carried
out by John Wilbraham, retired
Philadelphia manufacturer living at
Cape May.
Woodland had been separated
from his wife for more than two
years. He has been employed by the
Terminal Railroad in Atlanta, Ga.

that the remedies suggested be ap-
Piled Il
Just now the committee having the
matter in charge advises that the
cotton stalks in the cotton fields
should be turned under as soon as
the cotton is picked. Every farmer
should give this matter attention. 1t
is stated that the sooner this is done,
the better will be the results. The
Press and Banner passes this infor-
nation on to it's readers with the
suggestion that unless the land-oWn-
ers and the bankers, and merchants
insist on this being done it will not
be done. Those people who obtain
supplies in the stores and from the
banks and from the land owners
should be told in advance that moth
ing Is to be expected unless this
matter is given attention.
From time to time other necessary
things will be outlined. 1t will be the
policy of this paper to keep the sug-
gestions before the public and to
insist always that the people con-
form as nearly as maybe to the
letter of these suggestions. We may
still make cotton here, we believe, if
we obey the instructions of those
who study weevil conditions, but no
man should expect to disregard these
instructions and succeed. No man
should want to disregard these in
structions and thus bring want to
himself and at the same time prove
a menace to his farmer neighbors.

CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES,

Columbia, Sept. 2S.-Splendid
progress is reported from various
sections of the state in the cotton
cooperative marketing campaign,
according to officials. of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera-
tive Association. Canvass for sigma
lures to the contract will soon be
under way in a number of addition
al counties.
R. C. Hamer, president of the
South Carolina Division of the
American Cotton Association, will
speak at meeting to be held in
Lancaster Thursday to launch the
campaign in that county. D. B. And
erson, of Spartanburg, member of
the organization committee of the
cooperative association, spoke at
Laurens Saturday, and Alfred Scar
borough at Camden On Friday.
Not only are the farmers of the
state. vitality interested in the move
ment but the bankers and business
men of the state generally are dis
playing great interest in it. The
bankers in many of the counties in
which the campaign has been
launched have already indorsed it's
most heartily and have urged the
farmers of their counties to sign the
contract.
The bankers of Oklahoma, Geor-
gia, North Carolina, Mississippi and
other states where the minimum
number Of bales to put the plan in
to operation has-been secured, were
also warm in their endorsement of
the plan.
Signed contracts continue to come
into headquarters here, it was an
nounced, from large and small
planters. The movement, it is de-
clared, is equally advantageous to
the large and the small planters.

FIGHTING THE WEEVIL.

Those people who have been think
ing that the boil weevil would not
come to this section have had their
eyes opened. Those who told US that
at worst not more than one-6ourth or
tone-third of the crop would be des-
troyed by these pests have evidently
been misinformed. The truth is that
the boil weevil is here, and is here
in full force. In some sections the
damage done by him to the cotton
has not been more. than one-fourth
or one-half, but when farmers like
w. D. Morrah and Joe J. Link re-
port that they will make only one
bale of cotton to the farm, it be-
comes evident that the weevil is a
serious obstacle in the way of profit
able farming. =.
But people in other boil weevil
sections are still producing cotton.
They have adopted certain methods
of fighting the boil weevil which must
be. adopted here. The people here
must learn that farming may not be
carried on in the hap-hazard way, in
which it has been carried on in years
past. If people are to live and pros
per on the farms they must revise
their methods.
A body of business men has taken
this matter under its charge for the
benefit of the state at large. Meetings
have been held and committees have
been appointed. Information as tc
how to combat the weevil will be
sought and from time to time this
information will be given the public

owner, of the merchant and of the

GETTING RESULTS.

Sometime ago this paper advanced
the opinion that the prohibition la"
would not be enforced until the
judges, state and federal, who tried
cases and before whom parties were
convicted, sentence the lawbreakers
to the chain gang. In so far as our
suggestions applied to the federal
courts, it seems, we were in error in
supposing that the District Judge had
the authority to so sentence law
breakers. Under the Volstead Act,
the judges of the federal courts are
limited to a fine, certainly for the
first offense against the prohibition
law. We are glad to make this correc-
tion, but at the same time, we are
of the opinion that the judges in the
federal courts should allow no in
flrence to prevail against heavy fines
for the violation of law whose pro-
per, enforcement means so much to
the peace and good order of the
state.
In the state courts theye is no
such limitation on the. authority of
the Judges. The truth is that the leg
islature intended, we think, by the
last enactment on this subject to
make it mandatory on the circuit
judges to send violators of the pro-
hibition law to the chain gang.
Whether this is true or not, it is
evident that the judges are coming
to the conclusion that the law will
not be enforced until those who are
convicted of it's violation are made
to pay a more serious penalty than
small fine. 1t has been stated that
violators Of the law have boasted of
making enough money out of the un-
lawful sale of >iquor while attend
ing a term of court to pay the fine
assessed against them at such term.
It must be evident from this that it
is mockery of justice to undertake
to enforce the law by fining viola
tors.
And no opportunity should be lost
either in congress or in the legisla-
ture to increase the penalties in
Cured by those who break the law
A term of imprisonment will help
the laws enforcement when nothing
else will. The term should be long
enough to get results.

Athens, Ca, Sept. 27.-Much to
the disappointment of the anxious
Athens people and the members of
the vigilance committee of the soph-

Georgia, the freshmen in the college
refused to obey the orders issued
last week, and not single barefoot
ed freshman was seen on the streets
of Athens Sunday. -
1t will be recalled that an order
was issued by the sophomore class
last week instructing all freshmen,
both male and female, to 60 bare

sun Sunday. 1t is not known what
action will be taken by the sopho-
more class in view of the failure of.
the freshmen to follow the orders.

Educational Movement Irresistible

sites forecast the largest attendance
of students this fall in the history Of
the country. The better known insti-
buttons are overwhelmed with appli-
cations in advance of opening, while
many of the smaller and more OBJ
scure colleges Will find it necessary
to reject hundreds of students, for
lack of room.
The depression in the business
world does not appear to be having
appreciable effect upon attendance.
Parents who have sons and daughters
in the schools are not permitting their
less favorable financial circumstances
to interfere with the education of the
children. Great numbers of students,
unable to attend any other way, will
support themselves by part time en-
ployment.
Most students will have less mon-
ey to spend this year while in college,
but they will not be deprived of their
years school work.
What is the occasion for the tre-
mendous increase in college attend
ance? The return of students, whose
courses were interrupted by the war,
is not the answer now. The crest of
the wave of returning war veterans
to the schools has passed.
The only reasonable answer is to
be found in the greatly awakened in
terest in education among the masses
of the people. The college has become
a popular institution. 1t is no longer
considered a place exclusively for
the children of the rich. or the pro-
fessional classes. Perhaps, the ma
jority of the students in the colleges.
especially in the West and South, are
from the homes of people of moderate
means, while thousands of the stu
dents are self-supporting.
The value of the college education
in contributing to the success of the
young man or young woman today is
clearly recognized. It is unnecessary
% present statistics, interesting
though they be, showing how the
large majority of the successful .peo-
pie have had college training. The
fact stands out so. prominently in
every day life, that it escapes the
notice of few. ..
The growing tendencyof the col

something to do with the demand tor
their advantages. Business, as well
as the professions. today looks to the
college for trained minds and fit
bodies for service and for eventful
leadership.
In veiw of the unprecedented inter-
est in higher education throughout
tic country and the nationwide move
ment for enlarging facilities and in
creasing endowments, the attitude Of
the enemies of the State institutions
of higher and technical learning in
Texas appears all the more strange,
and out of harmony with the time.
CH.y ignorance of the trend of ma
tional life, of vicious prejudice a.
gainst the higher things of life,
could prompt a-State legislator or a
citizen to seek to destroy the State
university.
The progress of education will not
be stayed by reactionary obstruction
lists. Instead of curtailing the support

FREIGHT RATES CUT
ON WILSON LINE

In order to contribute IT'S share
to general readjustments now going
on, the Wilson Line has announced
a big slash in all class freight rates,
TO become effective on November J..
The slash amounts to twenty per
cent, and all class rates are af-
fected. The company handles an
immense quantity Of freight between
Philadelphia and Wilmington, so
that the reduction will mean much
to those who use the line.
The reduction is in advance OF
other transportation lines. The rea-
son given by the company is that it
feels that It can afford TO make the
cut and thus contribute its share
toward the general readjustment OF
conditions now taking place. De-
tailed information as to the new
rates can be obtained by applying
at the Offices OF the company in this
city.
