Weekly JVeather Forecast.
Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau,
Washington, D. C., for the
week beginning Wednesday, September
8, 1915: I
For South Atlantic and East Gulf
States: The week will be one of generally
fair weather and normal temperatures.
, J
Wheat planting time will soon be
here again. .We hope, now that the
farmers of the county have once
raised wheat, that the practice will
not be discontinued. No mattei
what price cotton may bring, the peo-1
pie should raise at home all the flour
and meat and everything else possi|>
: ' ble that they consume. Let's keep
our wheat money at home hereafter.
? ^ ^
We nptice by the newspapers that
several circuses?four to be exact?
are headed for South Carolina within
the next few weeks. When a bill
is presented- to the average citizen
at the present time, the collector is
.*' . told that there is no money to be
had. We wonder how these people
are going to buy circus tickets. But
?" : , we will wager that the circus will
"
| have a big attendance at every performance,
and we will also stake our
reputation that none of the tickets
will be bought on credit.
ffejx It would seem that the experiments
? of Mr. A. W. Brabham, which have
met with considerable success, in the
production of colored cotton are of
great importance. If we understand
- - * ?*
tiie matter, tne coloring uiai is useu
in printed cotton goods is a great cost
- *o the manufacturers. If cottpn can
be made to produce in various colors,
-this would appear to reduce greatly
the cost of producing colored cotton
gjoods. Mr. Brabham has already
produced several \tints with his experiments,
and' feels confident that
^ there are great pc^sibilities in thus
IBurbanking the cotton staple.
^
- 7 Bamberg was glad to welcome the
Columbia boosters Monday. It is a
good thing to get into closer indusi'
" trial and commercial fellowship. As
J we understand it, Columbia has a
splendid and growing wholesale dis,
tricV and we hope that our merchants
will give tne capital city all
the patronage that they can. We
see no reason why wholesale goods
cannot be distributed * v as cheaply
from Columbia as from Atlanta or
Baltimore, and we hope that the day
'~ rl-icj + onf irrVion it will nnt hfi

necessary at all for the South Carolina
merchants to pay annual or
semi-annual visits to Northern marf
kets"
In another column of The Herald
I this week we reproduce an article
from the Home and Farm on the
"World's Consumption of Cotton."
We hope every reader of The Herald
will turn to the article and read it
now. It is one of the clearest expressions
on the cotton situation that
weMiave seen. According to this
publication, the receipts at export
ports during the past cotton year
" f were but 140,000 less than for the
preceding year. Great Britain used
more cotton than in 1913, and the
whole of Europe consumed but a little
more than half million bales less.
The entire exports for the year
were less than half million less
than the preceding year. While
the American cotton crop was
slightly larger in 1914 than in
1913, the Egyptian and Brazil
ian crops ? were considerably
less, making the world cotton crop
about the same in number of bales
produced as the preceding year.
? A Bamberg man says he hopes to
produce black cotton by next year.
Nearly every farmer in the State produced
that kind last year.?Greenwood

GERMANY ACCEPTS DEMANDS.
jlSernstorft' States no More Liners Torpedoed
Without Warning.
Washington, Sept. 1.?Strained relations
between the United States
and Germany over submarine warfare
annarent lv nassed into history
today after Count Von Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, informed
Secretary Lansing in writing that
prior to the sinking of the Arabic his
government had decided that its submarines
should sink no more liners
without warning.
Oral assurances to this effect had
been given by the ambassador last
week. But it was not until Count
Von Bernstorff, after a call at the
State department today, returned to
the embassy and sent a letter to Mr.
Lansing quoting instructions from
Berlin concerning an answer to be
made to the last American note on
/
the sinking of the Lusitania, that officials
frankly admitted their gratification
over the changed position Qf
the imperial government.
Secretary Lansing said in a formal
statement that the letter "appears
to be a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which we
have contended." He immediately
sent the communication to the white
? ? J 14- * nL
I10U66 itllU Uistusscu it xxx t/iicciiui
vein with his callers, who included
Chief justice White, Secretary McAdoo
and Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina. Everywhere in administration
circles there was a visible relaxation.
The Next Step.
The next step, it is stated, will be
a formal communication from the
German government disavowing the
destruction of the Arabic and tendering
regret and reparation for American
lives lost in the disaster if the
attack was made by a German submarine.
Even if the submarine that
torpedoed the liner subsequently
was sunk by a British man-of-war,
as has been suggested both from Berlin
and London, the Berlin foreign
office is expected to send its disavowal
as soon as a reasonable time
has passed without a report from its
commander.
Once the situation growing out of
the Arabic incident has been disposed
of, the response to the long un
answered American note on the Lusitania
will be dispatched, and if Germany's
explanation and proposals in
this case are accepted by the United
States both officials and diplomats
here expect the way to be cleared for
a complete understanding between
the two governments on the subject
of freedom of the seas.
In German circles it is freely admitted
that in Berlin a hope prevails
that such an understanding would be
followed by insistent action by the
United States to stop the allies' interference
with neutral commerce,
which prevents Germany from importing
food for her civil population.
BemstorfTs Letter.
Count Von Bernstorff's, letter,
which revealed for the first time that
Germany had prepared an answer to
the Lusitania note, which was about
to' be dispatched when the Arabic
was destroyed, reads:
"My Dear Mr. Secretary: With
reference to our conversation of this
morning I beg to inform you that my
instruction concerning our answer
to your last Lusitania note contains
the following passage:
" 'Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and
without safety of the lives of non
combatants, provided that the liners
dp not try to escape or offer resistance.'
"Although I know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitanla question
till the Arabic incident has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled,
I desire to inform you of the above
because this policy of my government
was decided on before the
Arabic incident occurred.
"I have no objection to your making
any use you may please of the
above information.
"I remain, my dear Mr. Lansing,
very sincerely yours,
"J. Bernstorff."
Tn connection with the letter Sec
retarv Lansing made the following
statement:
"In view of the clearness of the
foregoing statement it seems needless
to make any comment in regard
to it other than to say that it appears
to be a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which we
have contended."
Peaceful Merchant Vessels.
Secretary Lansing interpreted
"liner" as used in the letter to
mean all peaceful merchant ships.
Later in informal conversation, the
German ambassador explained that
regular passenger vessels were
meant. There seemed to be no disposition,
however, to question Berlin's
intention to grant the fundamental
demands of the United States.
It was pointed out. too, that the
cases at issue between the two gov"

arisen as to freight vessels carrying

many for an agreement upon the 11
rights of neutral shipping. The d
State department had decided to

shown by the sinking of the Arabic, v

navy blue and brown seem to be
in the lead. Of course you will
see a few other shades, but these
are the principal shades. Most of
the suits are made of a hard finishmaterial,
similar to serge and of
men's serge; a few broad cloths
are shown. The coats are all
about medium, skirts are wide
and rather short. Some of the
coats are trimmed in fur and buttons,
close up around the neck

both on coats and skirts, are in
evidence.
