? A disaster unparalleled in tti
history of the cotton growing Indus
try in the I'nlted States has befalle
the American cotton crop this yea
As the result of a severe drought i
July and August, the government'
September cotton report, issued Tucs
day, forecast the prospective produc
tion this year at 11.137.000 equivnler
500 pound bales. 4.098,000 bales les
than was forecast at the beginning <
the season. Cotton growers plante
this year the second largest acreag
on record and prospects seeme
bright for one of the largest cror
ever grown. Drought during Jul;
however, reduced the crop by 1.616
000 bales, and dry weather in Augus
caused the greatest deterioration ev
er recorded in a single month, ther
being a decline of 17.9 points in th
condition on August 25. as compare
with July 25. The entirv cotton t>c!
was affected, but in Texas and Okln
honia and the western j>art of th
region it was greater than In the eas
The extent of the depreciatio
amounted to 2.4S2.000 Kales, redueln
the prospective production to 11.137,
000 bales. A crop that size would h
slightly smaller than those of the la*
three years. In a statement issue
with the crop report the departmer
agriculture said: The past month wa
the most disastrous in its effect upo
the cotton crop that has been record
ed. the decline being 17.9 points
equivalent to a depreciation of 24 pe
cent In one month. The forecast c
yield per acre. 145 pounds, is small?
than any yield ever reported. A larg
acreage, however, permits a forecas
of total production of 11.187.000 bales
which is slightly smaller than the laf
three crops. The depreciation wa
more or less general throughout th
cotton belt, but greater in the wes
(Texas and Oklahoma especially) tha
in the east. The principal cause c
the decline is the extreme rroughl
but contributory causes are boll wee
vll, red spider and rust." This year'
cotton crop was forecast at 11.137.00
hales by the department of agriculture
basing its estimate on the condition o
the crop. August 25. which was 55.
per cent of a normal. Condition o
the crop by states, as forecast by th

COUNTY LEVY REDUCED.
The general levy In York countyl
this year will be 203 mills instead of I
214 as was instructed in the supply!
bill passed at the recent session of the!
general assembly.
The reduced levy comos about under!
the provision of the law which con-1
tern pin ted re-adjust inent to conform!
to increased valuations.
The York county general levy was I
fixed by statute at 53 mills; but by I
reason of the increase in taxable prop-1
city and in assessed valuations this!
has been cut to 51 mills.
This action was taken at a meeting!
of a portion of the new legislative!
delegation, the chairman of the equal-1
i/.ation board and the county board of!
commissioners last Wednesday.
Auditor Love was able to show that I
as the result of the advanced assessed J
valuation of lands, and the added as- ]
sessed valuation of personalty along!
with the anticipated increase in the |
value of cotton mill und cotton oil J
property, the taxable property of York!
county will amount to approximately I
*11.0011.000 this year, against only about |
*9,500,000 in sight when the levy of 5ij I
mills was fixed.
I'pon this showing, Senator Beam-1
guard. Representative l'ursley, anil I
Itepresentative-eleet Hart agreed that)
it would be all right to change the!
levy to conform and they would un-1
diitnke to see to it that the change!
would receive due sanction or mo raw.
On the basis ol the increased valuation
the constitutional school levy
will raise about $4,500 more money
than it would have raised on the original
valuation and there will be about
$3,000 more road money. The aggregate
of the amounts raised by the special
school levies will also be larger.
Hut it was only the ordinary county
levy that the legislative delegation felt
that it had authority to change. The
constitutional school, the sjiecial school
and the road taxes will have to stand
as levied.
There will be more money raised
this year for till purposes than usual;
but because of the advanced prices of
everything litore money will be needed.
BULLOCK'S CREEK LINE.
There is a movement on foot over in
the Hopewell section of Hullock's
Creek township for the annexation of
that section to Broad itiver township
and people of Sharon who are now in
Broad Itiver and York townshi|>s want
to be incorporated entirely in Bullock's
Creek township.
The Hopewell people tiled a petition
with the county hoard of commissioners
Wednesday, asking to be annexed
to Broad Itiver, but the houru Informed
the (Mtitioners that the matter is
not within the board's jurisdicion;
that the petition will have to be presented
to the general assembly.
The section which desires annexation
to Broad Itiver township, includes!
all the territory between Bullot
Creek and Broad Itiver, a wedgeshaped
snip bordering on the Broad
Itiver township line for- a distance of
six miles, and also about six miles
deep, and including about fifteen
square miles.
The {ictitioners gave as a reason for
the change, the fact that for the most
part they do their trading at Hickory
( rove, and since their road system is
more naturally connected with the
road system of Broad Itiver township
than that of Bullock's Creek township,
it would be much more convenient and
satisfactory all around to be a part
of Broad Itiver township.
In connection with the proposed annexation
of a part of Bullock's Creek
township with Brond Itiver township,
however, there is a very strong sentiment
in and around Sharon to change
from Broad River to Bullock's Creek.
Sharon now lies for the most jxirt in
Broad River township; but the eastern
outskirts extend over into York township
and the southern outskirts extend
.?..! 1..? Inu-nuhlli
IIHO nuuuv n a v/iu n w?
The Sharon people argue that sinci
their trade territory extends more
down into Bullock's Creek township
than in other directions, and that their
road tax money is now being expended
on roads that are not as important to
them as are the Bullock's Creek township
roads, it is to their advantage
as well as to the advantage of Bullock's
Creek township that the town
he incorporated wholly within that
township.
NThe tlxing of the township lines is a
matter wholly within the jurisdiction
of the general assembly, and the county
delegation in that body will act on
such showings as may be made with
regard to the matter as its discretion
may recommend.
COMMUNITY LABOR BOARDS.
Community labor boards have been
organized during the present week in
Yorkville and Bock Hill to supervise
the labor situation in York county.
The Hock Hill board was organized,
with U. E. Barron as chaiiman; A. C.
l'cnnel 1, representing employers, and
Vance Whitesides, representing employes.
The Yorkville board was organized
with Itev. E. E. Gillespie as
chairman; Dr. A. Y. Cartwright representing
employers and J. (}. Dickson
representing employes.
Barney S. Haynes, examiner In
charge, Spartanburg, representing the
Federal department of labor, was present
at the organization of these two
boards, and made a full explanation as
to the powers, duties and objects.
In his talk to the people present at
the organization, Mr. Haynes explained
that there is a shortage of about
ten million common laborers in the
I'nited States, and as the result of this
shortage there is tremendous competinn
nnd demoralization.
Explaining what he meant, with
concrete examples, Mr. Haynes said
he knew of the case of a Spartanburg
negro who had been induced by a
labor agent to go to St. Louis. No
sooner had he arrived there than another
took him to Detroit. Still another
took him to Nashville, another
to Cleveland, O.. another to Chicago,
and he was landed back in Spartanburg
after six months of time and several
thousand miles of travel, with $60
in his pocket, and without his having
worked a day during his absence. He
told also of men having been taken by
the dozen from one place to another,
first by one labor solicitor and then
by another, without doing any work
for anybody. He knew of plenty of
4?ases like this.
The government has already taken
over skilled labor and it will soon take
over unskilled labor. When that happens
the different communities will be
called upon, each for its quota of unskilled
labor. Each community wjll
be entitled to credit for the labor it
has sent abroad, whether the labor
wont voluntarily or life compliance
with requisition requirements, and It
is to the interest of each community
to compile a complete list of its laborers.
so it will be able to take credit
for such laborers as may have already
gone to work elsewhere.
The law, Mr. Haynes explained, is
tightening up as to the matter of soliciting
labor, and it proposes that no
labor shall be diverted except with
the consent of the community labor
boards. These boards are also to have
jurisdiction over local labor, and are 1
to put a stop to the practice of employers
competing with each other for
labor by offering inducements and the I
\
like. Farmers are free to solicit labor
wherever they can get it without the
consent of the eommunity labor
l.oards: but no one else has any such
privilege.
The plans of the labor commission
have as yet been only skeletonized, Mr.
Haxnes explained: but the whole matter
Is to be reduced to a system as
rapidly as possible, and the community
board will not only have a great deal
of authority over such matters: but
they will also have a great deal of
work to do.
The specific purpose of the war labor
board is to direct all productive energv
toward the prosecution of the war.
leaving everything else to take care of
itself as best it can.
It is understood that the two York
county board, that at Yorkville, and
that at Rock Hill, are to have Jurisdiction
over all labor problems and questions
in York county. It Is expected
that these boards will have very little
trouble in handling of labor questions:
but if necessary they are to 1?? hacked
by all the power and authority of both
the state and Kedtrnl governments.
Among the questions coming under
the Jurisdiction of the labor boards
are the cases of the rble-bodied people
who pretend to be engaged in productive
employment: but who ate really
loafing on the jolt. The boards are
to have the power to look after these
rases, and pcopii* \.mi wm uui wun.
otherwise an- to lie given the opportunity
to work on the chaingang.

Fighting In Flanders.
Many York county troops, including
the Hock Hill and Fort Mill companies
along with a great many other boys
who wore subsequently attached to
those companies, are now fighting in
Flanders. They are a |wtrt of the
Thirtieth division, which is made up
Of North Carolina. South Carolina and
Tennessee troops, and which left
Camp Sevier In the spring. It has been
fcgK?wn here for quite a while that
these hoys were in Flanders; but the
news was not permissible officially.
During the past few weeks these troops
have been participating in what is now
regarded as the greatest battle of the
war. that in which the Hritish have
driven the Germans off of Mont Kemmel
and across the Hindenhurg line at
the noted Wotan switch, said to be
the most strongly fortified mijitar.v
position in Flanders. The fighting in
Flanders has been something tremendous,
ami it is continuing on a like
scale, it is looking us if the battle
now in progress is going to result in
the expulsion of the Germans from
Belgium.

? Just beyond Juvigny, during 'heir
advance last week, the Americans captured
a German dressing station and
several wounded Germans and rescued
two wounded Americans. The rescued
Americans had had little food for
two days, and virtually no attention.
The Americans did not complain, however,
as the German wounded were not
given much attention either. This
was due to the confusion of the retreat
and the unusually great number
of wounded Germans who poured into
the station as the Americans advanced.
In this dressing station were found
quantities of French lace curtains
which had been cut into strips for
bandages, and also crepe paper used
for the same purpose. The lace had
taken by Germans from French
houses In various sections, sterilized
and medicated, cut into stripe and rolled
the same as regular bandages- Examination
of the lace left no question,
of Its origin. The Germans had evidently
been obliged to use bandages of
this type because of the shortage of
material in Germany.

BRAVELY SPOKEN.
J. K. Henry Calls Down the Columbia
State.
This communication from J. K. Henry.
was published in the Columbia
State yesterday morning:
To the Editor of The State:
1 think your editorial calling for a
line up uguinst C. X. Sapp Is impolitic
and unfair to him and Mr. Cooper. I
am sure that he is as true *to the
state's interests as Mr. Sawyer or Mr.
Stuckey and as loyal to President
Wilson and the Democratic party as
any man in the United States. Moreover,
last year, when as candidate, he
was the most outsiwken in defense of
Mr. Wilson and the righteousness of
the war. Claud N. Sapp is patriotic.
It was bred and born in him. 1 know
his people.
Besides your editorial was unfair to
a. A. Cooper. You make as if he Is
against the choice of Mr. Sapp as attorney
general. Never having any intimation
from him. hut knowing the
man and of his effort to get rid of factionalism
and his plea to vote for
South Carolina and not for any man
and his sincere desire to heal all
broaches caused by our fratricidal factionalism
in this state. I am as sure as
that 1 live, he would, if left to him.
select Mr. Sapp as attorney general to
serve with hitn for his character, qualifk-ation.
manliness, loyalty and the
best interest of the state.
Resides, I am sure by your editorial
you do the state wrong by trying to
force a continued schism within the
state Democratic party and keep up
the quarrel. My plea is for justice and
the l?est Interest of this state. Do Mr
Sapp fair. J. K. Henry.

Foch seems to have more men and
supplies than the Germans, and all of
his movements are successful. The
Germans are also retreating northward
from the Veslo river. The Allies
have hopes of soon establishing the
greatest success that has come t? either
side since the beginning of the war.
The retreating Germans are every

York. S. C.
Dear Mr. Editor:
I'lease permit'me through your columns
to express to the citizens of York
county my gratification of the very
flattering vote I received for Attorney
General in the recent primary election.
On the face of the return It appears
that I have carried every precinct in
York county by a majority over both
of my opponents, and that I have carried
the county by a majority of approximately
two to one.
I have made the race as a Democrat
on my own merits, on a platform of efficiency
and loyalty to the Party and
the Administration and am delighted
with the result. I have carried by majority,
over both of my opponents, fifteen
counties and have led The ticket
in every county In the State except five
or six, and go in the second race with
approximately ten thousand votes
ahead of my opponent The most
pleasing features of the election to me
Special Hoticrs.
