PALMETTO CAPITOL NEWS General News of South Carolina Collected and Condensed From The I State Capital That Will Prove of Interest to All Our Readers. Columbia. = "The authorities in ^ Washington realize that the greatest demand is for aid that shall reach the small man who raises the actual bale of cotton," said E. J. Watson, president of the Southern Cotton Congress, a who returned recently from Washing- e ton. g "The press dispatches," said Commissioner Watson, "have no doubt _ kept the people posted as to the ses- 1 sions of the cotton congress. The a gathering was one of the most thoroughly representative ever held in the c country and more than filled its mis- p sion. Action has been taken which ! will be quickly followed in e~ery r, u state, promising results rf .-ubstar.tial character. I shall imnie ateiy announce the selection of certain Held r committees provided for, and call P gatherings in each state, as directed by the congress to do. u The report of the committee on s legislation of the congress follows: v "First?We recommend that to meet the extraordinary emergency now confronting the cotton producer and the business interests of the South: r "(a) To furnish the producer* with quick money at low rate of interest n with which to finance his crop. t: Second?In order to accomplish the tl above, we recommend: "(a) That the Vreeland-Aldrich cur rency law be so amended that government loans ?can be deposited in state banks and trust companies upon equal terms with such deposits in 0 national banks. "Third?That it is indispensable for 1< the transportation of the products of > r our farms and mills that such trans- {] portation be provided for under the ^ United States flag: "(a) That congress be urged to enact such legislation as will enable foreign built ships to be registered and ^ manned under our national flag under ? such regulations as may be necessary at including adequate and reasonable in- a surance. f( "Your committee recognizes that p most of the legislation necessary for placing in effect the above recommendations is already under consideration in congress as the result Sf the ir foresight and activity of our senators 2 and representatives. We hereby ten- c der to these gentlemen so ably guarding our interests in the national con- h gress our appreciation o? their efforts. ti our thanks for their activity and oui g confidence in their ability and integ- l, rity." Send Delegate to Highway Congress.

J ONLY OUTPOST FIGHTING IS OC- J CURBING ON THE BATTLE LINE. BELGIUM CAPITAL FALLEN ' I * i Reports Do Not Cover Casualties BeFore City Fell?Price of Fcod Is Declining Now. London.?The Germans have at last occupied Brussels but in Alsace they seem to be making no advance. The latest report is that the French have recaptured Muelhausen and it still seems true that after 18 days of fighting thftrp arp no fi-erman trooos on French soil. ' ? On Germany's Eastern frontier there has been considerable outpost fighting which would indicate that the Russians are completing their work oi concentration. There have been no serious collisions in this region as yet. however. Austria is too much engag- < ed with Russia and with need of helping Germany to make much progress in her campaigiragainst Servia. -No news whatever has been received of any naval movements either in the North Sea or the Med i' iterranean. \ "! The death of Pope Pius will b made the occasion, for another effort to bring about peace. It is stated that when the conclave meets in Rome to elect a new pope it will send an appeal to the warring nations foi peace and will ask the United States to aid in bringing about tranquility. According to the few bits of new? j allowed to come in from Berlin somej thing like normal conditions prevail | in the Gernian capital.

It is estimated that more than 159,000 persons crnowded the line of ! march of the new President and his j followers, which extended from the ! village of Atzcapotazalco to the Na- j tional Palace, six miles. There was j no disorder as General Carranza and i I his staff passed through the cheering ! crowds, which showered them with ! J flowers and confetti and from which j came cries of "long live Carranza; | ' long iivt? w? ernment." j Japan Explains Stand. Washington.?Interference by Ger- ; man cruisers with the shipping of Japan's ally, Great Britain, the seizure j of Japanese goods in Gorman bottoms ; and the consequent grave dislocation | of Japanese trade are the principal ; reasons set forth by Japan in explain- i ing the ultimatum delivered to Germany recently. Cable dispatches have contained a brief on-line of the Japani ese grievances, but the full text of the | Japanese foreign o."Vice's statement on this'subject was not available until J today.

RIVAL OF 3RITISH TROOPS | IN FRANCE. I # I I STOCK EXCHANGE IS CLOSEDj i I - . I All Foods in London Except Sugar / w Come Down.?General Routine ie ; Little Disturbed. London.?London displayed little ! excitement when it became known i British troops were in France. There ; were no crowds around the bulletins ; and no rush for newspapers. There i was a stolid, repressed earnest cr^wd j in parks where recruits drill and at the barracks where trained soldiers go thrcugn evolutions. The general routine is little disturbed, except for the unceasing movement through the streets of trcops, ammunition trains and hospital corps. Tailors and saddlers are rushed with business. The sign "Swords and bayonets sharpened" appears in the cutler's windows. No. women or children weep as the troops depart. Attendance at music hails and theaters shows no dimunition and many Americans spend afternoons or evenings at the playhouses. "Britainnia Rules the Waves" the "Marseillaise" and the Russian National anthem are played by orchestras, the j audiences standing. i As one Highlander regiment went through the Strand, its band played "Marching Through Georgia." Private homes have been converted into hospitals and newspaper departments under the head of "What. Women Can Do" or some similar caption are the busiest. Signs are posted that Earl Kitch- 1 ner, Secretary for War, needs 100,- \ 000 men for three years or to the J close of the war. There has been some protest j against German and Austrian waiters ; at the hotels and restaurants. One j newspaper protests against excessive ! forbearance, as instanced by a crowd j at rhe railway station cn the depar- j ture of the Austrian Ambassador j sincine "Deutschiand. Bourse!:land j Uber Alles." The stock exchange is closed and the city is quiet. Clerks are carrying rifles and cartridge belts. Large business houses announce that places will be kept for those who enlist. The newspapers are proud of the effective manner in which they kept secret the movement of troops of which much has been surmised, but little known. Cargoes of grain on German vessels captured in the Baltic were sold and brought current prices, but the effect was a fall in price and especially in maize. Great Battle Not Begun. London.?As far os the cordon of -nrVii^Vi tho nntions uCV/I C k/ V ^ * iil Vil t k/vb - <w? w. v. ? ? have drawn around the Franco-German frontiers will permit of guess work, the great battle which promises to cast Mukden and Liao-Yang into insignificance has not actually begun. Encounters which military historians a month from now may describe as "reconnoissances in force" are proceeding along the border. They are heralded by both sides as bn' les and victories. In history most c them will rank as incidents. Liege remains the crux of the controversy. The German government has announced that the forts have been destroyed and the defenders buried beneath their ruins. The French government declares the fens are holding cut. From Brussels comes word that the German movement toward the c< nier has been chechrd. while from the French enib*i>\-y in Lo-ulrn ;lie -rent has been issued that t!. ns have retired front i-p ) COUNTRY r ?

GET ANY NEWS AWAY FROM BRUSSELS. LITTLE CHANGE IN ALSACE French Cavatry Have Successful Encounter With Germans at Florenvilie.?Germans Crossing Meuse. London.?Dispaches from Brussels announce that the British, French ar.d Russian Ministers, with their staffs, have left for Antwerp. The Brussels correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company says it is becoming practically impossible to get news away from Brussels as the censor forbids information concerning troop movements being published. However, it is certain that a tremendous battle is in progress within the area stretching from Diest and Tirlemont, as far as Givet. The general impression here is that no effort will be made to concentrate for the defense of "Brussels as the attacking Germans would not be of suf ficient strength to warrant such concentration. Paris!?The following official state^ment was given out: "Latest advices are to the effect that the French Array has reached Morhange (Morchingen) in AlsaceLorraine, 19 miles southeast of Metz. Our advance was very rapid in the afternoon beyond the river Seille. At the end of the day we reached Delme, on one side, and Morn an ge cn the other. "There is little change in the situation in Upper Alsace. We continue toadvance in Vosgcs. The Germans have retaken the village of VHie. Our troops have occupied Chateau Salins and Dieuze, but face well fortified and strongly held positions. "Our cavalry lias had. a success..ai encounter with the Germans at Fiorenville, Belgium. Large German formes, it is announced, are crossing the Meuse between Liege and Xamur. "One of the French brigadiers has asked the commander-in-chief to make public the following facts: "A French Hussar made prisoner, was dragged by German soldiers into an Alsatian village and his throat was cut before the villagers, who testify to the deed." Pope Pius X Is Dead. Rome.?The Pope's death occurred at 1:20 o'clock in the mornirg. Grief over the war in Europe caused the Pope much depression from the first outbreak and several days ago symptoms appeared of the old bronchial affection from which the Pclntiff had suffered in times past.
