I The Great War.
j The idObt important events of
' [past week are the starting of
! the Teutonic drive against Ser.
bia and the entrance Jof Bulga
ria into the fight on the side of
Germany and her allies.
The central powers in launching
their attack on Serbia are
endeavoring to gain a direct line
of communication with Turkey. .
England, France and Russia are ^
sending armies to aid Serbia. ,
On the other fronts hard tight- ,
ing has been in progress through
out the week with only slight
changes in the line of entrenchments.
Iiussian retreats have about
ceased for .the time, at least,
and actions all along the line
are generally favorable to the
allies.
Card of Thanks
On Thursday night recently,
we heard voices singing and
drawing near our home- On going
to the door we met a large
crowd of good friends. We bid
them enter and they marched
through the hall to the dining
room and each one of them laid
a present on the table until itwas
filled with all kinds of
good things.
As we stood and watched the
crowd in this aci of kindness we
| thought of the Psalmist when he
I said " Imtu ~
^ a iiv/ M fjUUU (tlill
how pleasant to dwell together 8
in unity." 1
We usk everyone to accept our I
heartfelt thanks for these useful 1
gifts and for t he love that promp- r
ted their giving. !
We hope to manifest our appreciation
by living a more consecrated
life and more devoted _
to our friends and neighbors. J
We hope to remain your hum- 1

their cotton crop w?th,

A gentleman from Timmonsville
told me that the averago
price of tobacco for ten years
had been higher than the price
of cotton for the same time.
Tbe cost of starting the cultivation
is burning off your seed
bed, about tbe same amount ot
fertilizer as cotton, and the barns
which are generally built of logs
from the place, and the tluee,
which cost from twelve to twenty
dollars per barn, according to
bne size and style. Beed will be

U. S. to Build Ships
And Make Powder
A program of "groverument
building" excelling anything in
American history, will follow
jthe half-million dollar appropriation
which the administration
expects Congress to vote for rehabilation
of the army and navy
at the coming session.
President Wilson, it is known.
has been assured by Congressional
leaders that a $500,000,000
program of defense rehabilitation
will "go through" Congress?
provided that program
takes a new course. The group
of congressmen who havo heretofore
fought defense bills because
of huge profits they gave
to the armor plate and powder
"trusts" would give full support
to a plan for government plants
for the manufacture of armor
and powder. Letting of contracts
to either of these "trusts
or the big shipbuilding companies
for a huge naval program
would line the group up with
the "little navy" advocates and
seriously endanger the naval program.
One further factor which it is
said has led the President and
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
to agree on a governmental
building program is the fact that
the United States in this event
need not turn over the secrets of
construction to private firms.

Warnin g to Farmers
By Governor Manning
To the Fanners of South Carolina
:
I desire to call to your attention
a matter that, to my mind,
is of grave concern to every citizen
of our State.
The boll weevil lias reached
the Atlanta district, in Georgia.
The Agricultural committee of
the board of trustees of Clemson
college, at a meeting held "September
29 and MO h?a
? ft(W>0 VUU OIUCI ed
the alarming aspects of this
matter, and has taken steps to
bring this situation to the attention
of our larmers so that they
can at once prepare for this disaster
when it strikes us. The
government maps and reports
Bhow that the boll weevil has
advanced between 90 and 100
miles towards us this season.
They have another month or
more in which to advance still
further in our direction. I am
not an alarmist, but together
with the other trustees of Clemson
college, I do regard the situation
as so serious that active
steps should be taken at once in
order to meet this threatened
calamity, and plans are now being
formulated by the Clemson
college board looking to this
end. 1 will, at a latter date,
J. I - l - "
Kive mesu pians ana suggestions
to the public. In the meantime
let me urge farmers throughout
the State to sow wheat, oats,
rye, clovers and other winter
crops, in preparation for money
crops other than cotton, to be
grown next year.
I urge our people also to fix
their minds on plans for raising
hogs, cattle and other livestock.
I urge this matter most seriously,
and assure them that 1 will
advise only what I know to be
facts. The increased price of
cotton and the spread of the boll
weevil, still further reducing
the yield of cotton, will have a
tendency to attract our farmers
to the raising of cotton in pref
erence to other crops, and to fix
their eiTorts on an increase in
cotton acreage. This, in my
judgment, will mean disaster.
I say it advisedly. Again, I
urge that everything points to
the appearance ot the boll weevil
in South Carolina within a
much shorter time than previous
calculations would indicate, and
it behooves us as sensible people
to give this master our best
thought and to prepare for it accordingly.
We must not regard
it as one of those misfortunes
which may or may not come to
us in a distant future. We believe
that the boll weevil will
soon be here.
Again, I urge upon our people
to plant food crops and raise
more live stock. I hope that
this warning will be heeded.
