larity this year in South Carolina. |'

bushels last year. r

Carolina. The production last year i
was only 031,830 bales.

Major Wheeler Ordered For Duty.
11
Columbia, Sept. 17?Major John A.
Wheeler of Marion, ordnance depart-,
ment, was today ordered by the War
Department to report at Watervliet j
arsenal, New York, for duty. Major i
Wheeler was In the quartermaster's j
department at-Camp Moore, Stvx,
during the mobllzation for the Mexi-:
can border patrol and was considered
an efficient officer. He was appointed
from civil life by Governor Manning.
A SHIP THAT DID HER BIT.
Minnehaha a Ship of Adventure and
a Great Deal of Lack.
New York Sun.
If Berlin knew how many battles
the Minnehaha won for the Allies
there might be more German rejoicing
on her reported loss than there
has been over some of the artificial
victories of the German arms. Twenty-six
round trips since the war began
was the record of the faithful old
transport, and each time she was
loaded to the gunwale with the luggages
of Mars. Shells and airplanes
and motor cars, copper and
steel, nearly a billion pounds of muaitions
had been ferried from America
to England in this one hull.
The Minnehaha was a ship of adventure
and a deal of luck. She ran
)n the Seal Rocks off the Scilly Isands
in 1910. In July 1915, when
three days out from New York with
i cargo of explosives, she caught fire,
'rom what was undoubtedly a bomb
jet by the German associates or
Frank Holt, the would-be assassin;
but Capt. Claret took her into Halfax
and saved her, just as Capt. Leyland
had saved her from the Seal
Rocks.
Claret was the Minnehahas skipper
in all her fine war service. "Its
aervous work taking a ship down the
:hannel\ he said in November, 1914,
Probably he did not find it so nervous
ifter the policy of frightfulness at
sea began, for doubt no longer remained
as to whether the German
jubmarines would strike the transport
if they could. It was irony that
:he old single stacker should have
slipped through the perils of sea war'are
month after month without es:ort,
only to be reported lost on her
irsi trip with convoy.
This was the most useful member
)f a sturdy family of ships. The MinaeaDolis
lies in the deeps of Malta;
:he Minnewaska off Crete. The minletonka
is affoat, but shifted to Medi;erranean
service. The Minnehaha
vas familiar to the Jersey commuter,
vho saw her come and go in the
tforth river as regularly as if war
vas unknown.
o
Wilson's Prayer for the Soldiers.
A soul-stirring message was sent
>y President Wilson to the men chosm
by the selective draft to serve in
he National Army in the fight to
nake the world "safe for democracy"
ind to "make democracy safe for the
fforld."
The President voiced the noblest
ideal that could be set before such a
yast army on the eve of its entry into
this world conflict for freedom.
On the day before the first continent
of soldiers that will compose the
acw army of 687,000 men 1 ft their
aomes for the training camps, Presilent
Wilson welcomed them into the
nation's service with a message of
affectionate confidence and a prayer
that God will keep and guide them,
rhe heart of many a mother and
father will be touched by his sincere
personal interest and confidence in
their sons.
The prayer will be repeated again
and again by many anxious parents
and their loved ones as these soldiers
go forth to serve their country and
the world.
There is no self-serving in the war
plans of our nation as led by President
Wilson but an unselfish pur
pose to free the world from its worst
enemy?the ruler of an autocracy that
would enslaves all nations in the
grasp of militarism with the slogan
that "might makes right." President
Wilson's message and prayer will be
read and preserved in many homes.
It is as follows:
"The White House, Washington:
To the soldiers of the National
Army: You are undertaking a great
duty. The heart of the whole country
is with you. Everything that you
do will be watched with the deepest
solicitude, not only by those near and
dear to you, but by the whole nation
besides. For this great war draws
us all together, makes us all comrades
and brothers, as all true Americans
felt themselves to be when we
first made good our national independence.
The eyes of all the world
will be upon you because you are in
some special sense the soldiers of
freedom. Let it be your pride there
Tore, to show all men, everywhere,
what pood soldiers you are, and what
good men you are, keeping yourselves
fit and straight and rure and clean
through and through.
Let us set for ourselves a standard
so high that it will be a glory to live
up to it and add a new laurel to the
crown of America. My affectionate
confidence goes with you in every hattie
and every test. God keep and
guide you. Woodrow Wilson."

Lee and Miss Lura Shankle, both of
Rockingham, N. C., were united in
matrimony last Sunday night.
THOMAS E. WATSON.
1 His Strange Career and its Lamentable
Conclusion.
Americus (Ga.) Times-Recorder.
Just beyond the little town of
Thompsbn, in a magnificent, old-fashioned
Southern home, there lives a
man whose very name should, by all
rights, be blazing brightly on the
halls of fame.
Today this man is in the depths of
despair, burdened with woes unextinguishable,
eating the bitter fruit
of remorse and tasting the drugs of
grief.
To him, as it were,
"When sorrows came, they came
not single spies,
"But in battalions."
Born with an innate pride which
lashe<? his ambition like the whip of
a task master and spurred him on and
on to heights which the average country
youth would not dare to scale, this
man cultivated himself, developed his
I to Ion to onH made himself a man
among men.
He became as good a lawyer, In at
least one particular branch of the
profession, as there was in Georgia.
He exhibited qualities of statesmanship
seldom seen in these shallow
times.
With his pen he employed,
"Choice words and measured
phrase above the reach.
"Of ordinary men."
His essays rank with those of
Lamb and Macaulay.
His histories are the ablest ever
written in this country?his "Story
of France" being a classic and his
"Napolean" the most comprehensive
one-volume study of the most famous
man of history. His "Jeffersonian"
and "Jackson," his "Mexico,'
his "The Hohenzollerns',' even his
"Roman Catholic Hierarchry," are
works which prove him an historical
writer of the highest order.
His editorial expression burns with
the fire of a Marat and the powerful
eloquence of Brann or may soothe
like the tender gentleness of a woman.
Forensically, he is even yet, with
the possible exception of Judge Speer,
the most superb orator In the South^
Certain it is, he is without a peer in
this State as a political stumpJ
speaker. I
Yet this man has? ' 1
"Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate, A
And welt'ring in his own bloodj^
However, it may be said that-^fl
" Twaji no foeman'g arms that^J|
ed him.
'Twas his own that struck tiie blow."
Today, instead - of being honored
by his people, an inspiration to the
youth of the land, his name the proud
boast of his countrymen, he is dJ
spised by decent-thinking citizens
practically prescribed by his govern]
ment, a pariah among patriots.
While others less gifted but more
devoted to democracy are giving
their unselfish service to their nation,
this man is sowing the seeds of
sedition. His writings are denied
i the mails, and a prosecution for an
offense akin to treason hangs heavy,
heavy over his head.
"PAPA JOFFRE."
Great French General "Just an Ordinary
Man."
"At last there was a stir among the
people in the hall, and we all rose
expectantly," writes George P. Ludlam
in St. Nicholas. "Then, walking
with a firm tread beside Lieut, de
Tessan, clad in a blue uniform, with
his familiar red and gold cap, came
Marshal Joffre.
"Threading his way through the
crowd with a dignified step, he made
his way to the room in which we
were. Although well along in years,
the marshal is still hale and hearty.
He was introduced to all the other
guests and finally he came to me.
For an instant the famous general's
kindly face and keen eyes looked into
mine; then I bowed slightly, took his
hand and murmured: 'Bon jour,
Monsieur le Marechal.' He said something
in reply?I never knew what?
, and then passed on to Kennedy. That
young man filled his little chest, passed
up his flowers and shouted in a
voic^ which could have been heard to
Third avenue; 'B-hon jour, Monsieur
I-le Marechal, v-veux-tu accepter ce
petit bouguet de moi?'
The marshal's face broke into a
smile as he stooped down, kissed him
on the forehead and answered:
'Merci, mon petit enfant!' and all the
other guests laughed with him.
"Then he took the flowers and,
nodding to us, went out with the officer.
I went out in a daze; I had
actually shaken hands with the famous
Marshal Joffre, the savior of
France! Why, it was like our greatgrandmother's
being kissed by Lafayette!
It seemed too good to be
true.
"Kennedy was not impressed that
