Board Tackling lJijr Task.
The country-wide effort to furnish]
aid to cotton producers and find a bottom
for the cotton market came to a
successful conclusion last week when
Secretary McAdoo announced the com
pletion of the $130,000,000 cotton loan
fund. In making1 his announcement,
Mr. McAdoo declared the success of
the plan was assured.
The secretary's statement came at
the end of a day devoted to efforts to
obtain conditions necessary to complete
the $100,000,000 portion of the
-fund assigned to banks in non-cottton

M. Warburg and W. P. G. Harding,
members of the reserve board, in active
charge of the pool plan, took active
steps to gather in the remaining
millions.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York
agreed to subscribe $2,000,000. At a
luncheon given by John Skelton Williams,
Bernard M. Baruch of New
York said that he might invest in the
fund up to $1,500,000. His offer was
taken to the extent of $1,000,000 and
the fund completed. A few hours after
Mr. Baruch's offer word was received
from several banks that they
would subscribe to an amount of
about $2,500,000. As it staVids the
fund is oversubscribed about $1100,000
In announcing the completion of
the plan Mr. McAdoo said:
Up to the South.
"I am gratified to be able to announce
the success of the cotton loan
fund. Subscriptions for the entire
$100,000,000 of Class A certificates
were completed this afternoon. This
assures the success of the plan. To
such extent as banks in the Southern
States subscribe to Class B certificates,
the $100,000,000 realized from the
Class A certificates \\Jll be available
for loans on cotton at 0 cents a pound.
Full details of the plan have been
published and it is not necessary to
repeat them here.
"The full amount of subscriptions
to Class A certificates made by banks
in non-cotton States amounted at 2
p. m. today to $97,297,000. The success
of the plan was conditioned upon
the subscription of the full $100,000,
000 of these certificates. In order to
make up the deficiency of $3,000,000,
Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New
"York subscribed $2,000,000 and Bernard
M. Baruch of New York, formerly
of South Carolina, subscribed $1,000,000,
thus completing the required
amount.

ARMY.
Impossible to Defend Canal and Tertorial
Possessions With Present
Forces, Declares Retiring Chief of
StafT.
Washington, Nov. 17.?Declaring it
would be impossible to defend the
Panama Canal and American territorial
possessions against attack with
present or proposed garrisons unless
they could be rapidly reinforced, Major
General Worespoon, retired chief
of staff, in his report today recommended
the increase of the regular
army to a strength of 205,000 enlisted
men. He proposed that this force be
augmented through a system of reserves
until there was created a mobile
strength of 500,000 first line troops
eouinned for a six-months eamDaiirn.
General Worcspoon said there
was need for more forces to protect
rear approaches to American coast d^
fenscs and those points not covered
by fortresses, and urged that the organized
malitia be developed to a
strength of 300,000 men.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh.
That Contain Mercury..
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physicians.
as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possiblv
derive from them, Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co..Toledo, Ohio, contains no mercury.
and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying
Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get
the genuine. It is taken internally

only banks in the city of Boston subscribing
to the fund are the National
Shawmut bank, the First National
bank, the Fourth Atlantic National
bank, the Webster and Atlas National
bank and the Federal Trust company.
Great credit should be given to Festus
J. Ward arid George W. Simmons
of St. Louis for their earnest and effective
work.
Delayed by Selfishness.
"The success of this plan has at no
time been in doubt, but its completion
has been delayed by the selfish opposition
of certain textile manufacturers
and local' interests who have tried to
defeat it. I am happy to say, for the
sake of the country as well as for
themselves, that they have be*n unsuccessful.
"The successful completion of this
plan throws upon my associates of
the federal reserve board and myself
added responsibility and a large
amount of onerous work. It is no
part of our official duties. We are already
burdened with many difficult
problems, but we have regarded the
organization of this cotton loan fund
as a patriotic service and felt obliged
therefore to respond to the call that
has been made upon us.
"We beleve the carrying out of this
plan will be beneficial, not only in
helping the cotton situation, and the
foreign exchanges, but also by promoting
the general prosperity of the
country, which now has such a happy
impulse that it would be difficult tc
retard it. It is a pleasure to testify
to the patriotism and broadmindness
of the banks and bankers who have
so cheerfullly aided the secretary of
the treasury and the reserve board in
the organization of this fund."
"A future clear and bright, with
promise of the best things," was the
way President Wilson summed up his
view of the business prospect in a letter
to Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department congratulating him
upon the opening of the new federal
reserve banking system.
"Fundamental wrongs once righted,
as they may now easily and quickly
be," wrote the president, "all difficulties
will clear away. We are all
in the same boat, though apparently
we had forgotten it. We now knov
the port for which we are bound. Wc
have and shall have more and more
rtiir nr>w undprRtiin/linfri! v i r? n r? u
common discipline of patriotic purpose.
We shall advance, and advance
together, with a new spirit, a new enthusiasm,
a new. cordiality of spirit
of cooperation." >
Mr. Wilson referred to the new tariff
law, the new currency law, the new
trade commisssion law and the laboi
provisions of the new anti-trust law
as the means through which 'the soil
has everywhere been laid bare out ol
which monopoly is slowly to be eradicated."
He added that "'undoubtedly
the means by which credit has beer
set free is at the heart of all these
things; is the key piece of the whole
structure."

COAGH CURTAINS DRAWN
So That Railroad* and Trains May
Not Famish a Guide for Hostile
Ships of the Air.?Unusual Conditions
are These.
The greatest fear felt in T,?ndrm
and in fact in all of the towns of England
is the destruction that may be
wrought by the huge air ships of Germany.
For some time it is thought
that Germany has been planning an
attack.
The lowered lights order issued tc
hide London from maruding airships
has been extended to the whole country.
The restrictions are not as rigid
in the provincial cities as in the Capital,
but they prohibit all sky signs and
other conspicious illuminations.
Curtains of passenger train coaches
must under the new order, be drawn
while trains are traveling at night.
Authorities evidently believe trains
might act as guides to the enemy's
airships.
The famous Guild Hall, which is the
Town Hall of London, has been insured
against damage by air craft for
$2,000,000. The premium paid was

ing to current reports.
People Resentful.
The majority of London's population
apparently is beginning to be resentful
instead of appreciative of
these precautions. Now that the short
days have begun, the discomforts of a
darkened city are increasing. Three
persons have been killed on the street
at night durng the past week.
The commissioner of police has issued
an appeal to motor drivers to les
sen the burden on the police. Large
spirit of rush and recklessness, arising
from war-time excitement, accounts
largely for careless driving.
Hundreds of motors are employed on
military luties and these carrying the
magic sign "O. H. M. S." (On his
Majesty's service,) dash through the
streets at a speed that sets a demoralizing
example for drivers of taxis
and private cars.
Fleeing to Scotland.
From German wireless messages
Londoners have heard that thousands,
arc fleeing to Scotland from fear of
the Zeppelins. That is the first news
of any such exodus that had been divulged.
Old ladies shived at the word
Zeppelin, but the general public is apathetic.
The seaside hotels at Brighton and
other channel resorts are filed with
their usual complement of the leisure
classes, notwithstanding the chances
of a bombardment which the German
dash to Yarmouth this week showed a
danger to be reckon with.
England is to have its own fleet of
dirigibles by the beginning of next
year, if plans of a company recently
formed with a capital of $1,000,0001

The new airships although smaller
than the Zeppelins, are described as
vastly more dangerous.
Four Persons Killed.
Four persons were instantly killed
at Convoy, Ohio, 30 miles east of Fort
Wayne, when the Pennsylvania flyer
struck an automobile in which they
riding early last Thursday. The victims
were Durbin Leslie, mayor of
Convoy, his wife and Dr. and Mrs. De
Hayes, parents of Mrs. Leslie.

MONEY IN PECANS IN SOl'TII
CAROLINA
Thc?e and Other Nuts that I)o Well
in This State Discussed by Clemson
Expert.
Clemson College, Nov. 24.?Ther<a
are large profits in pecans for the
South Carolina farmer, according to
F. J. Crider, associate horticulturist
of Clemson College. Prof. Crider believes
that more nut-bearing trees
should be grown in this State and discusses
this subject as follows:
The demand for nuts as an article
of commerce is constantly growing.
Recent experiments show that the
food value of nuts is much greater
than was formerly supposed. Nuts
have usually been looked upon as the
fitting: close of a feast promoting
cheerfulness and pleasant thought. In
addition to serving this purpose, as
sources of protein and fat they furnish
nutritive material and energy. Pecans,
chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, bra
zil nuts, filberts and other nuts, in
concentrated form furnish a great
deal of nourishment.
The most important commercial nut
. rops in the United States are tlv
Persian or English walnut, the pecan
and the almond. Of these the pecan
is admirably adapted to South Carolina.
In Texas last year one tree produced
a crop of nuts that was sold for
5300. Everywhere the demand for
first-class pecans is exceeding the
supply. The standard varietiesat all
times bring go<xt prices.
The old idea that pecans and other
nuts will come true from seed has
resulted in a large number of bearingtrees
throughout the State producing
outs of inferior quality. The only
hope for such trees is to top-work
them with standards. This is a delicate
operation but can be successfully
performed. Pecan-growing can be
made a profitable business, but only
where the grower plants budded or
grafted trees.
Standard varieties begin bearing
in from 3 to 5 years and by the tenth
year will yield profitable returns. Fori
best results pecans require deep, rich
soil, but they can be successfully
grown in any soil in South Carolina.
The growing* of English walnuts
has not been sufficiently tried out ii
this State, but there is no doubt bu'
that the proper climate erquiremcnU
exist here. It will be well for farmers
to put out a few trees of this vah
able nut to determine if their local)
ties are suited to its growth. Do not
put them in sonic neglected corner
without giving them any attention o
your efforts will provea failure. Cr.l
tivate them and care for them aw
you will be repaid.
The almond does not thrive in thi
climate on account of the late frosts
Filberts or hazel nuts will, howcvci
do well in this State and a few tree:
should be on every farm. Chestnut,
do well in the northwestern part o:
the State.
Every home in South Carolin:
should have an orchard containing po
cans and other fruits. Clemson Col
lege urges the extended planting c
the black walnut, which thrives in cv
ery Southern locality . A few tree*
about the home grounds or larger num
bers in permanent pastures or on hill
sides not available for general farrr.
work will in time add largely to the
farm's value as well as to its revenue.

victed of assault and battery of a high
and aggravated nature at the summer
term of court for Richland county.
The charge was based upon the alleged
attempt of Roach to shoot someone
in a crowd on the 1300 block of Mair
street.
The shooting occurred during the
rather heated municipal campaign and
.he presence in the crowd of Mayor L
Griffith, who was then a candidate
chat the shooting had a political significance.
Testimony at the trial was to
the effect that Roach approached the
crowd and fired his revolver. The
shot went wild, though narrowly miss
ing some persons, it was stated.
Roach was convicted and Special
Judge W. A. Holman imposed a sentence
of one year's imprisonment or
a fine of $500.

Fred Robinson of Spartanburg, convicted
at the May, 1914, term of court

to papers filed in the office of secretary
of state.

victed at the May, 1914, term of court
of larceny and given a sentence of

In selecting your turkey or chicken
choose a bird that is heavy in pro|>ortioti
to its size. Avoid those fowls that
have a prominent breastbone, and pass
over those having coarse skin and rough
