Vi •t ■< / - FIGHT m CEASED ' 2 i BOTH AIUfEBS REST AFTOTTlOt 'MKNDOVJ8 ACTIVITMa. /: Heavily la Holding of Yaer CmuO—BolgUns Oome in for Pro lee Now Attempt to Break Allied Linea U Expected Further Inland, Safe from Shi pa. The limit of human endurance has been reached in the battle in West Flanders, and the fighting which slackened on Tuesday, has come to an almost complete stop They may hare been some infantry attacks, and these may continue, but dispatches from points along the Dutch frontier state that the artillery firing has ceas* ed. Passengers who crossed the Chan nel brought the same news. The fact is that the two armies bare fought themselves out temper arily and that the Germans’ first ef fort to break through the Allies' line has failed. Neither side could con tinue any longer, then men haring been without sleep or rest for the ten days that the battle has been in pro gress, over ground which at best Is a morass. The Germans succeeded last Satur day in getting some men across the Yser canal, and they put more men across on Sunday. Rut the force fac ing them was too formidable, and now the opposing armies are taking a long needed rest. There is every evidence,'"however, that the Germans Intend to renew their attempt to force their way through to Dunkirk. They are bring ing up fresh men and more ammuni tion and guns, but at the same time are taking the precaution to prepare a second line of defence should their forward movement again meet with defeat. The new attempt, it Is believed, will be made further inland, for the failure of the first one was largely due to the bombardment that the troops and artillery b*d to undergo from the British and French war ships off the coast of Belgiim ; This cessation of heavy fighting seems to have extended along the llfre as far as Arras, the result of It all is that the Germans, while they have suffered heavy losses and have in flicted similar punishment on the Al- , lies, are further away from the • French coast than they were at the beginning of the battle. "The Belgians never entirely dis lodged the Germans from the footing they obtained across the Yser near Pervyse, though the Germans suffer ed terrible losses in keeping the strip of ground thus won in the bend of the river. Again and again they have been practically swept away by Belgian shrapnel, but they have con tinued to pour men into the death trap, which served them as a bridge head. At Dixmude and Meuport the struggle has been equally severe. At Dixmude the French marines were obliged to withstand a forty-hour continuous attack before they were able to expel the Germans at the point of the bayonet. Last Saturday the Germans made another crossing further south, near Saint Georges Capelle, and a fright ful struggle ensued between the river channels The Germans occupied the village of Stuyvekenskerke and were driven out, -hut not for long. The Germans concentrated their mitrail leuses on the canal bank and raked the Belgians, compelling them to re tire again. The fighting continued till Sunday morning, when the ar rival of the French forces resulted in driving the Germans back over the river, except the little forces holding the bridgehead at Tervaete. The main point at which the Ger mans crossed the river and where the situation has been most critical is north of the village of Pervyse, on the railway line from Nieuport to Dix mude. They crossed last Thursday, but were prevented from advancing over the main waterway at that time. On Saturday they succeeded in get ting across the second channel and nearly reached the railway line. They were finally driven back after fierce URGES SUPPORT OF ^ STORY OF FIGHTING McADOO APPROVES FUND FOR COTTON GROWERS’ RELIEF FIGHT IN MUD-FILLED TRENCHES TOLD BY FRENCHMAN. Secretary of Treasury Declares Phat Subscriptions Will Act la Bringing About Improvement, r 1 ; ' Secretary MeAdoo Thursday night made public a letter he has sent to tleurinf house chairmen throughout the country urging support of the $125,000,000 cotton loan fund. The secretary said the cotton situa- atlon presented a problem "of the most urgent character," and declared his conviction that prompt subscrip tion of the loan fund would "be pro ductive of immense beneclal results.’ The contemplated acceptance of subscribers' certificates as a basis for emergency currency Issues, he added should greatly facilitate the banks in making and taking care of their subscriptions." More replies favorable to the loan fund plan reached the federal reserve board Thursday but members of the board pointed out that consideration by clearing bouse associations and then by Individual banks might delay final action in the matter for several days. ' ♦ •' Secretary McAdoo’s letter to the clearing house chairmen follows: The cotton situation in the South presents a problem of the most ur gent character. It is imperative that some intelligent financial measures shall be Immediately adopted to "re lieve that situation. The problem is not local but national, because a se rious hurt to the South affects the entire country. To help the South in this emergency must appeal, there fore, not only, to our better Instincts, but also to our material interests. Gov. Hamlin of the federal re serve board has sent you a letter to day, together with a plan which the board has approved for raising a fund of $135,000,000 to be loaned on cot- prompt subscription of this fund and its use as proposed in the plan will be productive of immensely beneficial re sults. I wish earnestly to urge upon you the importance of the banks in your city and In your federal reserve dis trict promptly subscribing the amount allotted to you. New York has already led off with a $50,000,- 000 subscription, and I sincerely hope that there may be no doubt whatever about the raising of the remaining $5t>,Q00,000 in the other leading financial cities of the country. "I am sure that we may confident ly count upon the local and patriotic aupport of the bankers of your city In this emergency. The federal re serve board Itself, notwithstanding the oneroua duties which now de volve on the federal reserve system, will constitute Itself a voluntary com mittee for the purpose of supervising the administration of the' proposed fund becauae of the seriousness of the emergency and the necessity for un selfish service on the part of every citizen who wants earnestly to help his country. In order to assist the banks which may subscribe to this fund, I desire to say now that, In the exercise of the power and discretion vested in me by law, 1 shall upon compliance by the banks with terms and provisions of Aldrich-Vreeland act, as amended, ac cent tbs Class A certificates referred to in this plan as ‘securities' at 75 per cent of their face value as a basis for issues of so-called ’emergency cur rency' when presented to me through national currency associations. This should greatly facilitate the. banks in making and taking care of their sub scription. "Will you be good enough to tele graph me on receipt of this letter If we may count upon your co-opera tlon?" The secretary said that in order to help the Southern banks which may subscribe for Class B oertifleates, he had determined to accept them also as "securities" a basis for the issue of emergency currency.

The correspondent pays a high tri bute to the Belgians for their valor and tenacity. He says: "On top of two months' hard fighting, followed by a long, discouraging retreat, and while tried and disorganized, they were called upon to hold the line of the Yser when they well deserved a rest. Yet they fulfilled the task longer than was expected under the trying conditions. The infahtry has been in the trenches almost without repose for ten days, drinking only the water from the canala which they are guarding, with little opportunity to prepare a hot meal, and constantly under a rain of German shells." CRUSHED TO DEATH. White Man and Negro Mashed While Working Under Cotton Press. At noon Wednesday a fatal acci dent occurred at Brooker Zorn's gin nery at Govan. Two men, Lewis Ken nedy, white, age about 19, and Luth er Nlmmons, a negro, age abont 25, were entrapped beneath the press and mangled beyond recognition.

A specialist in surgery was carried t6 Laurens Thursday from Columbia by special train to perform an opera tion in an # effort to save the life of John Watts, only son of Richard C Watts, associate justice of the su preme court of South Carolina. Young Watts was shot and danger ously wounded at 4 o’clock by Eu gene H. Wilkes when the young man, then not recognized by Mr. Wilkes, was discovered in the yard of the Wilkes residence. Some time before 4 o'clock Mr. Wilkes and his wife were aroused by the banking of the dog. Later they heard a noise in the back yard which sounded like some one scrambling over the fence. Thinking it was a coal thief, Mr. and Mrs Wilkes pro ceeded to the back door and Mr. Seeing a figure of a man in the dark- Seelng a figure of a man in th edark- ness, Mr. Wilkes hailed him: Receiving no response, he fired, aiming at the lower part of his body.

Writing from his cot in the general hospital at Havre, the soldier con cludes this grim epic of a modern war with a picture of the Sisters of Chari ty, who creep behind the battle lines, aiding the wounded and sick. Paint ing them as gentle angels with the courage of stoics, the sergeant cries: '‘‘Here is the spirit of France; France still lives, thank God. Vive 1’France!" With his company, the Nineteenth, the sergeant, on September 14, in a trench near Fontenoy, where the con flict raged most fiercely, day and night. On Friday, September 19, af ter five days of continuous fighting, his company was sent back for a short rest, while fresh troops piled into the mud filled trenches into which a dull, leaden rain was drip ping. Was Too Tired to Keel. “Like caricatures fashioned of mud, suddenly called to life, we hob bled wearily out of the holes where we had lived under a hell of burst ing shells, searing flame and nause ous gases for days," he writes "We were relieved by other troops, who saluted us as they passed. Did we salute back? I do not remember I only know my weariness was past a physical sensation. I was a dead man who somehow had the power of moving. We were marched to the castle farm of Goudrecourt, near Fon tenoy, north of Aisne; in sort, back of the table land, where we were since Sunday, the fourteenth. Here we slept, despite the shells which screamed over us and tore at the walls, biting in them great, livid holes. "I thought of you, and then thought of my first day of war on the crest above Flachslanden, in Alsace. I sAw there my first dead—Bavarian dragoons. My God! Hpw big they looked, sleeping on the gentle slopes. Since then I have seen so many dead —my eyes are neared- Our French look so small and quiet, after they cease crying out in path and die Their knapsacks are little; their blue overcoats twist about them in such a ludicrous way. I have gotten so when I see dead men 1 let my eyes fall on their hands—the hands that are always stretched so wide, as if they sought something. And on them I see so many little gold bands that are wedding rings Back to Trenches Again. "All of Saturday, while we rest and eat and eat, great warm meals, and seek water that we may wash, the shells come. We watch the great walls about this castle farm crumble in jets of white smoke and we shud der at the explosions that seem to come a moment after. All of us clean our arms, so rusted by the rain —the eternal rain that will never stop. , Our officers put. in order the wavering and mixed units, and that night we are told we are to go back to our posts. But our officers agree to let us rest. “At two or three o'clock Sunday morning we fell in again and went back tb aid our comrades in the trenches and redoubts. “In the trenches we crouch while the shells and bullets from the Ger man infantry play over us—;an(L alas, on us.

Then suddenly at daybreak the Germans came Fifty yards away we saw them! in the streaky light that beck ons the sun in these table lands. They came like solid blocks WLhlch were machines. We fired—my God! We fired into their faces, and they stretched dead. But they came on, sometimeq shouting, sometimes puf fing. We beat them with the butt ends of our muskets and we stabbed them with our bayonets. It was hor rible. They did not flurt us so much, for we were in our trenches, into which they tried again and again to com*. Our grape shot tore chunks out of that machine, which were fill ed up.

On account of the great destruction of horses that is now going on in Eu rope, we may look fofward to»*an ac tive demand for draft animals during the war and for some time after the restoration of peace. The natural ef fect of this will be to bring about higher prices, and this emphasizes the Importance to the farmers of the South of raising their own draft ani mals and not buying so many horses and mules from the West as hereto fore." * MAY FORTIFY LINE.

An English correspondent says: “It is possible that the Germans in tend to hold this line all winter and if -they fortify their positions, .it is certain that they can make no further move forward into French territory. „ "Around Rhelms there now is only one point where the Germans have heavy artillery and this consists of only one big gun and 20 pieces of small artillery.

Convict Murders Guard on < burg Road. Will Hughes, sentenced a more than a yearwgo to Ufa im ment for the murder of Cofer near Tucapau in Spartanburg count; Monday' Afternoon kitted Rober Stephens, the guard in 6narge of the gang on which he was a prisoner with a pick, robbed him of his two pistols and $40 in cash and made -bis escape. All day Monday and Tuesday the offi cers of the county and many deputies armed with shotguns are scouring the county in automobiles for the fugi- tlve. Stephens had been warned that Hughes-was plotting to kill'him and make his escape, 4>ut apparently had paid little attention to the warning. The gang was at work oh the road south of the city, near Arkwright, when Hughes saw his chance and, seizing a pick, landed a terrific blow- on Stephens’ head. The guard drop ped his pistols and, going through the pockets of his clothes, took what money he had on his person. Most of the other prisoners were panic-stricken and made no effort either to escape or to rush to the guard's aid. After arming himself, Hughes compelled a negro at the point of a gun to break the chains that bound his feet and later ex changed clothes with another negro whom he met on the highway. Stephens, the guard, was taken to the city hospital, but died in a few hours without regaining consciousness. The murder for which Hughes was convicted was one of the most cold blooded crimes ever committed in the county. It was stated at the trial that he killed Cox while Cox stood with his hands up begging that his life be spared. A negro woman. Lula Huff, was an accomplice in the cri and was tried with Hughes. She, was given a life sentence and is the penitentiary.
