Melon cholic days will soon
give place to the melancholy 1
days. |
1 he hum ol the gins can be ]
heard once again! Glad are we.
Less than four million bundles
of fodder have been pulled
in Chesterfield county the first 1
two days of this week.
ludging by the reports from
the various meeting throughout 1
the country, one would conclude
that the world is getting better.
^ + m
The Russians are still retreat
ing on land, but they have won ,
a signal victory over a German ,
fleet. Lord Kitchener is reported
to be moving an army of
about three million men across j
the channel to begin a gigantic
drive against the German forces ,
in the west.
The Allies have at last declared
cotton contraband of war
^ which means that they will en
deavor, as heretofore, to prevent
a bale of cotton reaching
Germany or Austria. By orders
in council they have tried for
months to accomplish this but
found it necessary at the open
ing of a new cotton season to
make more effective this policv
by declaring their right to con
dem cargoes of cotton destined
for ports of the enemy. What
this means for the cotton market
can not bestated. No^one
teweverTtherei^iotS7h{^nie
market for this southern staple
will not be adversely effected,
and some go so far as to say
that it ma}' help.
There is one noticeable
feature of the situation, and that
is that the farmers are not so
worried about the possibility of

fall. This is accounted for by
the fact that the crop has been
produced at a little more than
half the usual cost, and that
along with it has been grt>wn
more peas, corn, cane, potatoes
etc., than before With cotton
at the same price as last year
the farmers will be in better
shape. The morale of the
sellers being better, there will be
less chance of a stampede for
the market. Gradual marketing
will go a long way toward
holding the price up to a reasonable
figure.
The supreme. court signed a
brief order Saturday dismissing
the petition for an injunction
against the prohibition election
set to be held on the second
Tuesday in September. Extend 1
ed arguments were made before 1
all of the supreme court judges '
and all the circuit judges.
The petition was filed several
weeks ago by John Henry
Choppell, of Newberry.
This action of the court
leaves the way clear, it would \
seem, for the election to be held 1
as was intended. On the 14th. j
day of September the voters of \
the state will have an opportuni- ?
ty to express their views on the
great prohibition question. The 1
matter should be talked and |
discussed among the people, and )
its importance so thoroughly im .
pressed upon the voters that a t
heavy vote, one that will ex \
press the will of the majority of 1
the people of the state, will be <
cast in this election. Let every 1
man who has enough patriotism 1
to cast a vote be notified and c

? m Balkans
Expected to Enter War |
Right Away
London, Aug. 22.?Italy's de
duration of war against Turkey*
is expected to have an almost
immediate effect on the Balkan
States, which still are debating
which side they will take in the
conflict. Relations between Italy
and Roumania long have
Seen intimate and it is predicted
Sere that, especially in view of
the threatening attitude of the
Germanic Powers because of
Roumania's refusal to allow am
munition to pass through her
territory Roumania will join the
Quadruple Entente.
Bulgaria is waiting for Serbia's
reply to the suggestions of the
Entente Ministers that Serbia
cede Macedonia to Bulgaria.
Greece is ltkelv to declare her
future policy when the chamber
meets this week. It is regarded
here as significant that M.
Venizelos, who always has been
friendly to the Entente has decided
to take charge, in addition
to the Grecian Premiership, of
the office of Minister of Loreign
Affairs
With inclusion of Italy among
Turkey's opponents in the war
and the former's well known desire
for expansion in the Near
East, the Balkin States may consider
the time ripe for them to
enter the field and secure a share
of what falls to the victorious
group. It is for them to decise
which side is likely to win
Wilson Awaits Arabic Reports
Washington, Aug. 22.?Judgment
still is suspended by the
United States Government on
the torpedoing of the liner Arabic
with a loss of two American
lives. Pending arival of official
information on the attack, high
officials will not discuss it.
It was understood tonight the
all important report awaited be
fore the United States determ
incs whether Germany has committed
a deliberately unfriendly
act" is expected from Ambass
orsapparently have left no doubt
that the Arabic was torpedoed
without warning. The question
now is whether Germany will set
ud a claim that maneuvering of
the ship led the submarine com
mander to believe she was atf.

The President will decide tomorrow
whether a Cabnet
meeting will be called Tuesday,
but tonight it seemed improbable
the Cabnet members would be
summond before final reports
on the disaster were received.
Severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany is being
discyssed as the steps that would
follow determination that the
sinking of the Arabic was deliberately
unfriendly. Whether
such an action would be taken
without consulting Congress
is a matter of speculation.
A Long-Winded Clock.

Pat was met at the pier bv his
brother Mike, who had been in
America some years, and was
taken to his home. Early on
the follering morning the new
arrival was awakened by an alarm
clock, an invention that
was entirely new to him.
"Shure and Oi say, Mike," he
exclaimed, springing out of bed,
'the noights here in America
nust be the longest av an> place

lon't know about thot," was the

Mike. "Phat makes you think
