Scraps and facts. ? Washington, August 31: A bumper crop of cotton which may equal or exceed the record crop of 1911 when final returns are made is indicated by the department of agriculture's report today showing the condition of the crop on August 25, to be 78 per cent of normal. The total production of 15,090,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight is interpreted by the department experts from the condition figures. This is 1,365.000 bales more than forecast from the July condition figures and it is the result of excellent growing conditions throughout the cotton belt during August. "The condition of the cotton crop on August 25, which was 78 per cent of a normal," says an official statement, is interpreted as indicating a yield per acre of about 197 pounds, which compares . with 182 pounds an acre produced a year ago. and 187.2 pounds the 10- ' year average. A yield per acre of 197 pounds on the estimated planted area of 36,960,000 acres would produce about 7.290.000,000 pounds, or udoui i 15,240,000 bales of 500 pounds gross I weight. There is usually some abandonment, the average about 1 per cent. : Allowing for 1 per cent abandonment! there would remain as Indicated pro- I duction of about 15,090.000 bales, which compares with a production of 14,156,000 bales last year. 13,703.000 1 in 1912, a production of 15.693.000 in the record year of 1911 and 11,609,-1 000 in 1910." ? Woman made her protest against! the war in Europe by marching! through New York's fashionable Fifth I avenue last Saturday to the beat of muffled drums. The women clad them- I selves in black or wore mourning! bands on their sleeves. Silently they I trod through this canyon of hotel club, I residence and office structures while I thousands of persons stood as quietly! on the sidewalks viewing the slowly! moving procession as they might look i upon a passing funeral cortege. Oc- i casionally sunlight streamed from overcast skies and touched on clusters of yellow flowers some of the marchers carried. Nearly 2,500 women < took part in this unique demonstration I) which had the approval of President I Wilson. Boy Scouts with drums led each division. A lone banner fluttered!1 in the breeze?the world design of lib-1 < erty and peace which floated at the! foremast of the government steamship! Ancon when it passed through the! Panama canal a fortnight ago. Be-11 hind this flag walked women who I] have become known in religion, literature, the woman suffrage movement, I society and many professions! a few!1 who were refugees abroad when then conflict began; and many more, So-|( cialists, social workers, delegates from . women's organizations and others. ' They represented many cities. In a di-| vision of automobiles rode mothers! with their babies. I, ? The London Evening News of Sun-I, day, publishes an account of the sink-1' ing of the North German Lloyd liner I1 Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse off theli coast of Africa by the British cruiser j Highflyer, which was reported last! Thursday. Lieut. Deane of the British 15 army, who was a prisoner of war, is It authority for the narrative. He wash not on board the German liner; he hadl, been sent to the collier Arucai, from I which she was coaling. When it was seen that the Wilhelm was doomed, I the German captain sent his sword, his h hnv a letter to his wife to| the collier. He announced he would blow up his command rather than sur- ^ render. When the Highflyer opened ^ fire the collier was still fastened to ( the Wilhelm by one hawser and owing to some delay several prisoners on the ? liner did not get a chance to leave the ( ship. The cruiser manoeuvred to get < broadside on the Wilhelm and the ensuing cannonade lasted forty minutes. ' All the shots from the Wilhelm appeared to fall short. From the collier it was seen that she had been hit three times, and catching fire, she ceased replying. The Highflyer also stopped firing. By this time the Arucai, which 1 had separated from the liner, had got- j ten too far away to perceive anything more than that she was still burning. The Germans kept on board the Kaiser ' Wilhelm only her officers, her gun ] crews and a few engineers. A number , of her men were transferred to the collier. 1 ? Representative Underwood, Demo- J cratic leader of the house, is not in i very good favor with his colleagues , since last week he introduced a resolution which was passed, providing that the per diem of congressmen when absent, should be deducted from ( their pay checks. Mr. Underwood be- } came exasperated at the frequent occurrence of "no quorum" being pres- ( ent and hence delay of business. His f " '" -> 1 1 , resolution was imruuuocu auu overwhelmingly. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, has taken it upon himself to see that the rule is enforced. On Friday, after his motives had been questioned by Mr. Underwood, Mr. Butler said: "I give the house notice that members must push their trunks back under the bed. This is not personal with me. I am simply performing, as I understand it, a duty that .has been imposed upon me. My attention has been called to what constitutes a performance of duty commendable to the people, and that is to enforce the law. We have been here three hours today and done nothing, and it was because a quorum was absent on the floor. That lack of a quorum was caused by the absence of members who, like myself, have been seeking the joys and companionship of their homes; and I want to say that whenever I go home the sergeantat-arms is at liberty to take it out of my salary. Twenty dollars and forty-five cents a day! 1 know it is easy to lose that much if you do not need it, but permit me to say that I serve my constituents for two reasons: First, because I want to, and, secondly, because of the salary attached to the office. Without the salary I can- . not live. But the house has been wise. It has provided, as I understand, that * I shall be docked for the days of the f month I am absent. The leader of the majority has made me wise, and I shall be absent no more. I want the 1 gentlemen of this house to understand < that there is nothing personal in the r T I... ..? .I ...... pwaiuwii i iui?r lanru ? urn i iia?r p vposed to see that a quorum is here, and if you want to do business you will remain where you are now for the I remainder of the session. I am here to , stay." t ' ' I Significance of the Battle.?The Yorkville Enquirer, always clear-eyed, has this observation upon the recent South Carolina primary: "The elec- j tion of Senator Smith may be claimed | as a victory by the opponents of Gov- , ernor Blease: but in our opinion it is more largely a compromise, and those 1 who think the governor has been elim- t inated as a political factor will prob- ^ ably see the time when they are made . to appreciate their mistake." We have 1 already indicated our belief that Gov- i ernor Blease lost few supporters on | the issue of "Bleaseism"?signifying | principally his class appeals, his par- ; don record, his attitude toward en- ( forcement of liquor and racing legisla- . tion and his violent or unseemly utterances at times. Most of those whom he lost <>n this issue had probably come to him two years ago only ? through such temporary motives as ( resentment at the unfair methods used against him then. If his opponents had ' repeated their former tactics, he might ( have been successful notwithstanding , the strong claims for renomination " made by Senator Smith, his own hostility toward President Wilson and I several other adverse influences. No c counter-revolution has taken place in t South Carolina politics. There has been g no general repudiation of "Bleaseism." * Governor Blease holds the great bulk < of his following, never a majority in g itself, still intact. We believe that ap- \ pearances to the contrary?quite mis- '] leading the press of the country at c large?are deceptive. So we submit what we consider the real facts. If Governor Blease imitates his opponents in learning that there are such ^ things as limits, the next day of triumph may be his.?Charlotte Observ- ' er. 1 A War Prophecy.?Here is the 1 prophecy which came to me fr?>m one t of America's most eminent foreign ex- c change hankers, says (lirard. in the Philadelphia I^edger: Within a year you will be able to ji buy an English sovereign for four 1 dollars. v As you may know, the normal price f of that gold coin is almost live dollars, r ind Just before the war It was more a :han five. Why will we be able to buy a t sovereign for four dollars? 1 The war will force England and ( Ftance to buy immense quantities of j supplies from the United States. While those countries now compel :heir own people to accept paper money they cannot compel the United States J to take anything but gold In exchange J Tor goods. f Our merchandise will flood Europe, ' ind Europe's gold will flood the Unit- r ?d States. So says this student of in- 1 ternational banking. That foreign gold J ill cause an immense boom in our 1 industries and very high prices. Alas! Now comes the other page of 1 the story. Immediately the war ends, ( nearly all European buying will end. rhat must instantly create a drastic j business depression here. Put into a nutshell, this banker's dope for the future is this: 8 A boom in America while the war i lasts, but depression afterward. . <fhf ijJdrsviUr tfnqnirer 1 Entered at the Postottlce In Yorkvllle I as Mall Matter of the Second Class. s t YORKVILLE, S. C.t t TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1914. t t Mr. A. M. Carpenter of Washington. ^ s spending his vacation in the editoriil chair of the Anderson Daily Mail. f The news from the war in Europe * loes not give promise of short dura- ^ don. If the Germans take Paris, It f will mean that the allies are in for a i much longer siege of it than they had t calculated on. J 1 * ' c There is no little significance in the ) Tact that in the first race of 1910 Mr. McLeod the ultra Conservative candi- } late for governor, received 25,363 fotes, while this year Mr. Manning, .vhose basic party following is practically identical with that of Mr. McLeod, received 25,289. The Greenville Piedmont is bravely jpholding the cause of the kaiser in j. South Carolina, and its articles are veil calculated to make sympathy for Jie German cause. It is just as well c .'or South Carolinians to look on in i nlence with a determination to accept a he final result philosophically. This a var is too great and horrible a tragedy r :o encourage the taking of sides. r " m ' c Mr. Cooper is quoted as declaring t nabilit.v to deliver the vote that was j *ast for him, and urging everybody to f /ote for his state. That is right. Many j irotes were cast in this county for ^ hooper and Blease, probably as many p is were cast for Smith and Cooper. All >t these voters thought they were 'voting for their state," and they will lo the same when they choose between 'Manning and Richards." Immediately after it developed that Mr. Richards would be in the second ace for governor, reports were circuated to the effect that he would withIraw and leave the field to Mr. Manning without further dispute. Mr. Richards has issued a statement in which he says these reports were circulated merely for the purpose of inluring him, that he has no idea of withdrawing, and he confidently ex>ects to win. s ? \ So after all. It was only the withIrawal of Mr. McLaurin that inter,'erred with the correctness of our preiiction that the second race for the n rovernorship would be between Mc- r L^urin and Manning. The prediction c was based on good logic. We felt sure a hat Mr. Manning was the choice of a he Conservatives, and we felt equally c sure that Mr. McLaurin would take t he undisputed leadership of the Re- j 'ormers. Then that they would be in he second race, therefore, there was 10 other conclusion. e ? i Of the six candidates in the second a ace for the legislature, four are Con- j servatives and two are Reformers. The t Conservatives are Messrs. Riddle, f 5aye, Lesslie and Cherry. The Re'ormers are Messrs. Johnson and o Bradford. The Reform voters find j hemselves in the position of having r o take two of their men and one from * he other side, and the Conservatives j ind themselves in the position of hav- \ ng to drop one of their men. or waste t ibout one-fourth of their strength. J, * * r Mr. Frank W. Shealy of Lexington, s s said to have made his good run for t ailroad commissioner by reason of the r act that he belongs to the state or- e ranization of clerks of the court. This [ s an off year with the clerks of the j< 'ourt in many of the counties, and in a I lumber of cases where the clerks had k f 10 races of their own on their hands VIr. Shealy had them working for him. j] t is said that he spent quite a lot of I noney on the campaign, advertising in 1 he newspapers, by m?ans of circular c, filers and otherwise. t t There are in this county many old ? jeople, especially women, who remem- a thnv tirpro jrlfld tf? h(> T Jfl U LliiiV nuvi. ?.??V J ... .V ible to get hold of a few ears of corn, v c vhich they mashed up the best way hey could and used it for bread. That a vas during our great Civil war. There 'j s no promise of such dire straits grow- a ng out of the war now in progress; e >ut it is certain that food is going to -s >e scarcer than it now is, and it is t roing to be more difftcult to convert -otton into gold than it has been for a i long time. a ? , s t Notwithstanding the extraordinary irrangements that are being made to n inance the cotton crop, we think it is f fl oolish to count on planting a full rop next year. This Kuropean war is c foing to make something to eat the irst consideration, not only in Europe; Hit also in America. Folks who raise > \\ otton next year regardless of condiions, without lirst supplying them lelves with food, are going to lose mon- j, v and have a hard time. The thing to " l<> now is to make arrangements to t low every acre that can be sowed to f, vheat. oats, rye, legumes and the like, fhen next spring give attention to | ^ :orn. 'j ? i s f, A British force from New Zealand ias captured the German possessions s >f Samoa. Samoa is one of the coaling n nations along the route across the '' Jacitic. It was on account of those is- j, ands of which Apia is the metropolis, h hat the I'nited States felt most eonrern when Japan declared war against iermany. The idea of the Japanese ic<iuiring possession of the German tl ossessions in the Pacific was very 3 veil calculated to make this country ti eel nervous. Although no such infor- t< nation has been given out, it is prob ible that before declaring war Japan issured the United States that Great Jritain was to take possession of the lerman coaling stations between tmerica and Asia. If Richards be elected governer we vlll have to have another election to ill his place as railroad commissioner. Je did not have enough confidence in lis chances to resign his job, so the lominee could be chosen in the regular irimary and be elected in the regular lection. Can any one figure that Richards will be such an improvement iver Manning as governor that it will >ay to put that big expense on South Carolina??Greenville Piedmont. We are inclined to think that the 'iedmont is slightly mistaken as to I his. Mr. Richards will hardly resign is railroad commissioner until after lis election as governor, and if he sees iroper he can wait until just before lis inauguration. If he resigns before lis inauguration, Governor Blease can ippoint his successor, and otherwise le will be able to appoint his succeslor himself. Then his successor will un for election in the following prinary, just as Mr. Richards did two ears ago after his appointment by iovernor Ansel. And we figure that T4' ~u" Airixmt r\t hio PA nr. A1UI1U.I US, 111 lite VTVUV V*. ...? - lignation, will not have a great deal of lifflculty in finding a successor. Supplementing what we have aleady said about the political significance of last Tuesday's first primary, ve would call attention to the fact hat the only race for a state office hat afforded a full and fair test of he quality of party sentiment was hat between Messrs. Thos. R. Peeples md A. G. Brice, for attorney general, dr. Peeples was originally elected as i "Bleaseite," and asked for endorsenent of his record as such by re-elecion to a second term. Mr. A. G. ?rlce, as clean a lawyer as there is in he state, with long service in the genral assembly, ran as an anti-Bleasete, and made it clear that he had no >ther purpose in the race. The issue vas drawn fairly and squarely, and dr. Brice had the support of practically all the newspapers in the state. Ye do not recall a single newspaper hat had a kind word for Mr. Peeples. ["here has been no suggestion of a lingle thing in Mr. Brice's record at vhich the finger of reproach could be tointed and Mr. Peeples had no offiial achievement upon which he could >ase a claim ror support, iei uuun hese conditions the people voted for dr. Peeples. It is our judgment that dr. Peeples would not prove a full natch for Mr. Brice in a race based lolety upon the respective abilities, nerits and records of the two men. While we are quite sure that the oncentration movement started by he Conservative leaders some weeks go was successful in the main object irrived at, the putting of Mr. Manling into the second primary, we do lot consider that it had a great deal >f weight in York county. The comlined vote in this county for Irby, tichards and Simms was 1,618, and or Messrs. Cooper, Manning, Chas. A. Smith, M. L. Smith and Browning ras 2,136. There was considerable organized effort in behalf of both Manling and Cooper on the one hand, and :omparatively little on the other hand n behalf of either Mr. Richards or Mr. rby. The Reformers were divided in heir choice as between Richards and rby and did not antagonize each oth r unnecessarily. The ultra Conserratives were solid for Manning; but nade no special effort to break into he Clinkscales or Cooper ranks for ear of creating antagonisms tnai night do harm in the second primary, because of the apathy of the Reform eaders as to the governorship, many >f the Reformers who voted for Governor Blease for the senatorship voted or Cooper and Clinkscales for the rovernorship. They voted for these gentlemen purely on their merits and vithout political bias. In the next race he lineup will probably be strictly lartisan, the Conservatives voting tolidly for Manning, and the Reformers roting solidly for Richards. Progress of the War. .Although the dispatches from and bout the European war fill each issue >f the daily papers and leave no doubt >f the tremendous extent of the operitions between the warring powers, nd the fearful carnage that must ertainly be going on, there is very litle accurate detail that carries comirehensive assurance as to how .the truggle has been going. It seems to be reasonably clear, howver, that there are few if any gaps n the battle line along the Belgian :nd French frontiers from the Engish channel down to Switzerland, and hat the Germans are pushing steadily wrward into France and toward Paris. Dispatches published yesterday told if the desperate engagement of the 'ritish army with the oncoming Ger nans during August 23, 24, 25 and 2t>. The British fought steadily, it is said; ?ut were pressed back by overwhelm ng numbers and it was not until last Vednesday they were able to get a ireath of relief. Their losses are adnitted to have been 6,000; but how nuch more is only a matter of surnlse. The French government has for ome days been accepting it as ineviable that the Germans would soon each Paris, and has been making evry preparation for an extended siege, t is not believed that Paris will fall lefore assault quickly, if at all, and it s reasonably certain that there will ie fearful carnage before the Germans ;et close enough to make their powerul siege guns effective. About the only hope that the allies lave of preventing the investment of *aris is the possible progress of the tussians from the east. Some of the tories have it that the Russians are oming on steadily and surely; but here seems to be no assurance that he Russians are not misrepresenting he situation. Also, it is generally re ognized that whether the Russians re making progress into Germany or lot, there are many obstacles in their ray before they can approach very losely to Berlin. The British government several days go gave out the information that it uwi nrrancod to brinir troous from In lia as well as Canada and Australia, nd also urgent appeals were publishd to the British public, asking for the ervice of every able bodied man at he front. The indications are that Turkey is bout to join in the war against the Hies. England has told her that if he does so. it will be equivalent to he signing of her own death warrant. There is talk of efforts on the part f Germany to stir the Mohammedan objects of England and Russia Into a loly war: but as to how this will probbly succeed has not heen fully itidiated.

The candidates in the second primary are busy pursuing their respective campaigns as best they can. Some are canvassing and some are writing letters. After three months of play, York county boys and girls have started or will start back to school within a week or ten days, and most of them, espe[ cially the younger pupils, are as anxious to start back as they were anxious to be released last May. Boy Scouts of York county will find it worth their while to closely read the current Installment of the serial, "Alone In the' Wilderness," now being published in The Enquirer. A whole chapter is given over to instruction of the Boy Scouts, and by reason of his actual experience, Mr. Knowles, the author, is fully qualified to give instruction. Some defeated candidates take their defeat lightly, others not so lightly. Some feel and know they still have friends and supporters; others think they are all alone. A case in point of [the latter type of would-be office holdI er was related on the streets last week. The gentleman in question was overwhelmingly defeated, lacking several hundred votes of getting into the second primary. He was approached a few days ago by one of his opponents who is lucky enough to be in the second race. The second gentleman stated to the defeated candidate, "I would appreciate your support and the support of your friends in my second race." The defeated gentleman replied, "Humph, "I haven't got any friends!" One of the most gratifying results of the recent primary election was the re-election of Mr. John E. Carroll as superintendent of education over a very strong opponent wno is unusuaiiy well qualified for the place. We would not have said before the election what we are going to say now for the reason that in our opinion it would not have been altogether fair to either party. Mr. Carroll's work and record was before the people and it was for then^to decide. Anything that we might have said commendatory of his work might have been construed by some as affecting the result, and it might have been taken as prejudicial to Mr. Cork. But the facts are like these: There is no office under the county government more difficult of acceptable administration than the office of superintendent of education. Some of the reasons are apparent. In the first place, more people are directly interested in the school than in any other public institution. The future welfare of their children is concerned and their money is concerned. Each and every school involves every source of friction that exists in the community in which it is located?denominational differences, social differences, political differences, financial differences, family feuds and the like. The appointment of trustees, touches on all these things and so does the running of district lines, the voting of special taxes, and the building of new school houses. There is absolutely nothing that can be done for the benefit of a school that will not cause opposition, and to arrange any school matter right and to the satisfaction of everybody is manifestly impossible. The temptation of the average official who understands a given situation is to stand by and let it rock along; but this will not do. There are more essential elements of progress in the neighborhood school than in any other institution, and this progress cannot be stayed. The superintendent who tries to hold things back will soon be relegated in disgrace. The problems have to be solved, judiciously, wisely, and courageously; but no matter how wise, judicious or courageous any particular solution there is bound to be friction and feeling, and this friction and feeling more often than otherwise centres on the superintendent of education. Mr. Carroll has caused more special taxes to be levied during the past two years, built more school houses and changed more district lines than has ever been done in two years by any other superintendent of education in the history of the county free school system in this county. He may nav?- mane some annuities, nc trnainly stirred up much opposition in places and if he had been defeated in the primary there would have been but little occasion for surprise. The fact that he was re-elected by such an overwhelming vote is a credit not only to him and the people, who voted for him, but to the whole county at large.

Wilborn entertained the members of the town council, the firemen, policemen and the other de- 1 part meats of the municipal govern- ^ ment at his home on Kast liberty street last Friday evening. The pur- , pose of the entertainment was in the i nature of a get together meeting, the ( social affair being the beginning of an effort to bring the various representa- ' lives of the town government closer ' together. Refreshments were served ' the invited guests and the conversation of the evening was turned to mat- i ters concerning town affairs. j ? The services at the Associate Re- * formed church last Sunday night wore closed with a prayer by Rev. Dr. T. M. i Dowry in which he invoked Ood'sM mercies upon the soldiers and people of war-torn Europe, and concluded with this striking petition. "We ask the Almighty God to hasten the time when one man can no longer plunge whole nations in war, and when all the people of the world will be under the government of a brotherhood of republics that will recognize and follow Jesus Christ as their universal sovereign." ? The Baracca class of young men and the Philathea class of young ladies of the Ancona mill Sunday school gave a reception to more than 100 persons, men, women and children, at the mill chapel, last Saturday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock. The chapel yard was lighted by about twenty electric lights, and the refreshments, including ice cream, cakes and bananas, were served at a dozen or more tables by young ladies of the school. The affair was quite an enjoyable one, and the first of a series of entertainments that will be given from time to time by the two Bible classes. 1?- ? ?V.? l>lilln _ VV IIU a HCii'H IW uppuag n?c * uuudelphia Americans in the world's championship series this year? is a question of interest among Yorkvllle baseball enthusiasts.

There were a number of visitors present, and several Impromptu addresses were delivered by members of the board of trustees and others. The outlook is that the enrollment will be fully up to if not greater than that of last year. There are three new teachers in the school corps this year?Prof. Riddle, formerly superintendent of the Clover school succeeds Prof. J. H. Witherspoon now in charge of the Gaffney schools; Miss Marilla Ewart, of Yorkville, who succeeds Miss Kate Hunter as teacher of the sixth grade: and Miss Margaret Marion of Chester who will teach the seventh grade, last year in charge of Miss Annie Ashe. All the teachers were present at the opening yesterday, with the exception of Miss Gerald Lowry of the third grade, who has been abroad during the summer and is now in Naples, Italy, unable to come home on account of the war in Europe. Miss Lowry's grade is being taught by Mrs. John S.

South Carolina and Georgia are credited with a large part of the increase in production of cotton in recent years, in the census bulletin on cotton production in 1913, copies of which have just come to hand. The crop of 1913, as compared with that of 1913, shows again in each of the states with the exceptions of North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia. The production in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee is the largest ever reported for these states, except for 1911. Arkansas made its record crop in 1913 and Louisiana showed the largest amount ginned from a single crop since 1908. While the crop in Texas was nearly 1,000,000 bales short of the record crop of 1912, it was exceeded by that and only two others? those of 1906 and 1911. Great variations are shown in the crops of tha state in the different years. In 190.1 the production was 4,174,206 bales, while the following year it amounted to only 2,300,179 bales. The production then rose to 3,814,485 bales iti 1908, to 4,256,427 bales in 1911, and to 1.N.S0.210 bales it) 1912. The state produced 25.2 per cent of the total crop of the country in 1909, 26.3 per cent in 1910, 27.1 per cent in 1911, 35.6 per cent in 1912, and 27.9 per cent in 1913. The production of cotton in Georgia in 1913, while showing an increase if mote than 500,000 hales as compared with the previous year, was still 452.026 bales short of the record crop of 1911. The crop of 1913, however, was, in this state greater than that of 1906 by 721.029 bales, or 45.5 per cent and in South Carolina by 501.633 bales ( or 57.3 per cent. 'I he production of rotton in Louis- j innu decreased steadily from 1906 to i !M o. though since tnen mere n is been sumo increase. In 11)06 the pro- ] duetion of the state amounted to US".7i!< hales, while in HMO the amount ( was only 245,64s hales. This rapid de- | rline was due largely to the ravages of the holl weevil and to the conse(pient diversion of cotton lands to the cultivation of sugar cane, rice and other crops. There has been a ten- ! demy to return to the cultivation of ] cot'on in some sections of the state, < and it is expected that there will be a t further increase in the production. 1 Couth Carolina ranked fourth among t tiie states In cotton production in t lltKl. 1 ft 12 and 1911: fifth in lftltl and 1 third in ltton. There were 1S9 conn- < ties which reported more than 25.000 i biles each in bill), as compared with i 166 in 1'.t12 and 221 in 1911. There t were ::s counties which reported more i than 50,000 bales each In 1913, 11 of which?four In Mississippi and seven In Texas?returned more than 75.000 bales each and five?Bolivar county, Miss., and Ellis, Williamson, McLennan and Navarro counties Texas, in the order named?more than 100,000 bales each. The states which contribute the larger portion of the export cotton are those which put up the heaviest bales. The average weight of the bale for the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, which furnished much the larger part of the export cotton, was 518.3 pounds, while that for the state. of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, which contributed most largely to the domestic consumption, was of 491.4 pounds. BATTLE OF HELIGOLAND British Attack German Ships Under Strong Fort. London, August 30.?An official statement issued tonight says that, of twelve hundred men comprising the crews of the five German warships sunk off Heligoland only 330 were saved. Twenty-nine killed and thirty-eight wounded was the price in men paid by the British for the naval action against the Germans in the Heligoland tight Friday. The admiralty today announced the casualties as follows: The light cruiser Arethusa lost Lieut. Rric Westmacott and nine men killed, four men seriously wounded and Lieut. Robinson and eleven men wounded, but not seriously. The torpedo boat destroyer Liberty lost Lieut. Commander Bartellot and six men killed, one man who since has died from wounds, one dangerously wounded, five seriously wounded and five slightly wounded. The destroyer Lauren suffered ten men killed, one has since died of his wounds, two men dangerously wounded, seven seriously wounded and two slightly wounded. The Liberty, a British destroyer, was hit by a shell, which shattered her mast, tore away part of her bridge, smashed her search lights and killed her commjinder, Lieut. K. W. Bartel lot, and William Butcher, ms signal man. Accounts of the battle say it was 1 crfect in execution as well as in plan. Led at dawn by a fearless small detachment, the destroyers crept within the German lines, between Heligoland and the German boats. An aeroplane sighted them and gave the news to the Germans, whose destroyers came out. The British destroyers lured the Germans to the open sea. where other destroyers were waiting, spread out in fan shape. A small engagement followed and then the German cruisers came out. The Brjtish light cruiser Arethusa, after a sighting shot, got her range splendidly and hit the foremost gun of one of the German cruisers, demolishing it. The Arethusa then fired a few broadsides at the enemy. Her aim was excellent. She hit a German cruiser, which at once burst into smoke and (lames, but soon afterwards a German shot did some damage to the engine room of the Arethusa. The destroyers Liberty and Laertes fought a grand fight. A shell brought down the masf of the Liberty. The Laertes was hit amidships, a hole was shot through her funnel, her forward guns were damaged and she received also a shell in the dynamo room and a shot aft, which wrecked her cabin. It was hot work, but at that moment the British light cruisers and battle cruisers appeared. It was at the moment for which they had been waiting. The first shot from one of the British battle cruisers sank a German cruiser, which had been battering a destroyer. The German fleet then turned and fled in the direction of Cuxhaven, but was pursued by British destroyers, which did terrible execution with their four-inch guns. Many of the Germans landed after the battle from the British ships were wounded by revolver bullets. It is declared the revolvers were used by German officers to prevent their men surrendering to the British boats which had put off to save their drowning opponents. Some of the boats lowered to the rescue of the Germans, it is said, were fired on by German cruisers. MANNING AND RICHARDS. Opposing Candidates Make Statements to the People. Mr. Manning has given out the following: "I thank the Democrats of South Carolina for the support given me in the primary just closed, which I feel is an indorsement of my stand for a progressive, uusinessiiKe ana non-partisan administration of the state government. In the circumstances that surrounded the campaign, the support I received in all sections of the state causes me to feel that the people have confidence in my sincerity of purpose, ( in my fitness for the hieh office of governor and in my determination to be ; the servant of all the people in the office to which they will elect me on Sep- , tember 8. j "I am deeply appreciative of this expression of confidence and I once , again assure those who supported me in the first primary and those who , will support me in the second, that ( my mind and heart, my time and all ] the ability with which I am endowed , will be dedicated to the service of our j state and to the discharge of the du- ( ties and responsibilities of the office , with fairness to all. t "Our danger is indifference, engen- ( dered by too great confidence. It is the duty of every citizen who really f loves his state to vote in the coming t primary. As your chosen leader I call ? upon the men of our state to vote for t me, not personally, but for the prin- ( ciples for which I stand. { "As your governor I shall labor to ( enforce all the laws with firmness, < with justice and with mercy and to r aid in the abolition of factionalism j and bitterness and Tor the upDuuuing f of our state in all ways that will make ' i'or the prosperity, happiness and en- j lightonment of all the people." t Mr. Richards has given out the fol- ( lowing: , "Any statements emanating from r any source anywhere that I have for j one moment contemplated withdraw- v ing from the race for governor are ( gratuitories and are being circulated t with the hope of Injuring me. I am in e the race to the end and am receiving p the warmest promises of support from s every section of South Carolina and .? instead of feeling discouraged I have p strong reasons to believe that I will be n the next governor of South Carolina. ^ "Few men who have made the race j for governor of South Carolina have g been more bitterly opposed than I have y and a determined effort has been made 0 for the past three months to destroy f\ the confidence which the people of '[ South Carolina have in me.
