OUR NOTE TO ENGLAND CONSIOERED FRIENDLY Conditions Such that England Believes We Will Continue in Amity ______ PUBLIC REGARD IMPORTANT 3 one of Whole Proceeding; How Tends to Peaceful Arrangement of Difficulty it .C Ivwt... A news letter fr~rn London last week in regard to the note of protest sent by this government to the government of Great Britain, has the following \o sav as to how the matter "was regarded by the end of last wot k. The British foreign office, in agreement with the American government, tonight issued the text of the protest of the United States against delays of American commerce due to search by British war vessels. > The public has regarded the note as a diplomatic document of probably greater importance than any incident of the war. The first comment on it in the newspaper offices tonight,; Ti AMTotroi* xiroe iiunxvvi | v* <10 uuu tiic iiuiv cir> u;oo specilic than had been expected in stating the American complaints. It generally had been assumed that it contained detailes of various cases on which complaint was bases. The protest, however, continues to be the foremost topic treated in the English papers. Foreign Secretary Grey and Ambassador Page conferred concerning it today. It is understood Great Britain will make reply in a few days, probably next week. Mean-) while as the matter at issue is of such; importance it is expected that little in the nature of official comment will be forthcoming. It is probable that a full cabinet meeting will be necessary to draft a reply. To Remain Friendly. One prominent official said tonight that the government, after thorough consideration of the note, still was of the opinion that it was entirely friend ly, and that the reply would be in the same spirit. In official circles no effort is being made to discount the importance of | the communication which it to be digested carefully before any attemptis made to formulate in detail the British policy. Official opinion is that Vin rliITnvnnroQ hnfwoon C\rr>nt Rritnin and America gradually will cure themselves, provided Norway, Sweden Denmark and Holland make vigorous efforts to check the leakage of con-j traband into Germany. Italy's handling of the contraband situation is entirely satisfactory to England and official intimate that the pursuit of a similar policy by other neutral countries near Germany, immediately could relieve the situa-1 tion, particularly in regard to the length of time that cargoes whose ul-; timate destination is in question are delayed. Ambassador Page's note to the foreign secretary transmitting the American note was as follows: "American Embassy, "London, December 28, 1914. Calls for Action. "Sir: Under telegraphic instructionsi from my government, I have the, honor to acquaint you that the present condition of American foreign trade destined to neutral European ports and detentions of American cargoes resulting from the frequent seizures has become so serious as to require a candid statement of my government views in order that his majesty's government may be fully informed as to the attitude of thte United t States toward the policy which has been pursued bv his majesty's authorities during the present war:.. "I am therefore, directed to communicate to you the following statement and at the same time to assure you that it is made in the most friend-! ly spirit." - . ..

Ellis the Victim of a Mysterious Attack on Leaving Business Place J. A .Ellis, a small merchant of the ; Kcndricksvillc section of the town of ! GafFncy, S. C., was the victim of a mysterious attack Tuesday night. Just as Mr. Ellis was leaving his place of business last Tuesday night he was struck by some one and knocked down. Special Officer Parris of the police fo'-ce in\ estimated the matter, and as a result arrested Zeke Turner, a negro, who lives near the store of Mr. K'lis, and who had been at the store earlier in the even in jr. The tracks leading* away from the scene of the assault corresponded in every particular with those of Turner, and the police think he is the guilty man. Mr. Ellis recovered from the attack and tired three shots at his fleeing1 assailant, but without result so far as he was able to ascertain. Turner's ease will bo investigated by Mayor Eittlejohn. That the small farmers of Cherokee county are the victims of a system of staking their all upon one crop?that of cotton?is evidenced by the fact that both magistrates of Gaffney are kept busy issuring processes for those who have defaulted in the payment of their obligations to the merchants and others who assisted them in making their crops. In many cases these unfortunate people have made scarcely enough to satisfy their guano account to say nothing of their accounts for supplies upon which they subsisted while making ihe same.

A Panama City, Fla., printer found a chunk of ambergris in the1 bay there j the other day. It weighed 9 pounds, I six ounces and sold for $7,000. William Rupert ,of Hyde Park, Okla., caught a magpie in Cimarron, N. M., and made a pet of it. He moved here, bringing the bird with him. The bird escaped from his cage and flew back to his old home, more than I.000 miles. It made the trip in less than three days.

LAST WEEK WITHOUT ' SWEEPING VICTORY In War Ridden Countries of Europe After Five Months FIGHTING STILL FiERCE French Claim to Have Taken Important Position.?A1 lies Slight Advance Kept Up. Last week passed away with its bloody tale of war in Europe and left; no signs of any sweeping victory yet,; in the war ridden countries of the old; \xr?~.i.j * ? w ui in. a ik'ws cuspau-li irom JLondon England dated the last day of December, had the following to say in re- j gard to the situation at the opening of tlie new year: The New Year finds beligcrents in Europe after five months of war fight ; ing as strongly as at the beginning, but seemingly without prospects of immediate victory. The Austrians again have been driven out of the greater part of Galicia, and according to a Vienna statement, the Russians have crossed the Carpathians for the1 third time, but in Poland, where an important battle is in progress, the armies of the Russian and German em perors still are fighting for the banks of the rivers which intersect the coun ! try between the upcr Vistula and Pil-j ica rivers. In Flanders and France there has been a lull in the fighting on most of the front, disturbed occasionally, however, by artillery fire, infantry at- , tacks and counterattacks. French take Town. The French tonight announce that they have carried half of the village of Steinbach, in upper Alasce, which while of little or no importance itself, stands at the foot of a hill which comamnds a large part of the surrounding country. It is in this region as in the vicinity of Noyon and betwen the Argonne ridge and the Meuse that the French have been pushing their offensive with the greatest force and where they claim to have made the most progress. Along the Belgian coast fighting is confined to artillery bombardments. Westende and many other little towns which long ago were deserter by the civil population have been made the target for the allies' attack. VValfish bay, a British possession on the coast of German Southwest Africa which the Germans took at the commencement of the war has been retaken by Union of South Africa forces while the Australians have annexed Bougainville island, another of the 1 Solomons over which flew the German flag, about the last of the German is- I lands in the Pacific. 11 In London, New Year's eve was celebrated by the usual dinners and dan- i ces at hotels and restaurants, but with -( less gaity and on a much smaller scale. At the larger hotels, however, there was a large attendance of officers on leave or waiting to go to the : front, many French and Belgians who were driven from their homes by the war, and a considerable sprinkling of 1 Americans. The list of New Year honors offered by King George was short and contained no new peers. MORE POTASH COMING American crops and soils are still as hungry for Potash as before the outbreak of the European War, which curtailed the Potash shipments. Some of the Fertilizer Companies are trying to induce farmers to buy one-sided low Potash on no Potash fertilizers of a generation ago. This means a fertilizer that is profitable to the manufacturer, but not the best for the farmer. When the Syndicate in 1010 started the direct sales of Potash to dealers and farmers at reasonable I prices, Potash sales increased 05 per cent, in one year, a clear proof that f !i rmnvc 4 lw. i- Dnin -1- 'I- rr^i .. vn> niiwH ciuit i wuiHii rays. 1 noy I know that Potash gives good yields, good quality and resistance to plant diseases. Many of the Fertilizer Manufacturers are willing to meet the farmer's wishes and sell him what he thinks he needs. These manufacturers are now willing to furnish as much Potash as j they can secure. They offer goods with 5 per cent, and even in some cases 10 per cent. Potash, if the farmers insist upon it. Shipping conditions are improving, more Potash is coming forward al-1 though the costs of production and transportation are higher. The higher price of fertilizers is not due wholly to the slightly higher cost of Potash. Much of the Potash that will be used in next Spring's fertilizer had! reached America before the war start- j cd. There is no substitute for Potash. We can no more return to the fertilizer of twenty years ego than we can return to the inefficient farm imI unprofUnMe livestock of thai period. TV. A. TTUSTC::. BETTER BUSINESS SOON. President of Touthern Railway Says Conditions Are Improving. Washington, Jan. 1.?Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway, declared today that the war effect on business conditions in the South was proving only temporary, said the demand for cotton was growing and predicted a general revival of business. "The world must have cotton," he said. "The demand, both for export arid for American mills is increasing and there has been a substantia:! advance in prices since the low point when the depression was at its worst. With a larger movement of cotton there will come an increase demand for merchandise of all kind in the South and a general revival of busi IlVTCiS. "Southern farmers are meeting the situation confronting them by planning to deduce the acreage of cotton planted in 1915 ad to devote the- land thus released from cotton to other j crops and to live stock. Statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture and reports of the agriculture agents of the Southern Railway showed substantial increases in the acreage planted in fall grains in every Southern State, and the prospects are that a larger acreage of corn will be planted in the spring. "With a smaller crop of cotton, Southern farmers will be assured of a better price for the crop of 1915 which must be carried over and, with a larger production of grain they will profit from the inevitable European' demand resulting from the withdrawal of millions of men and draft animals from agriculture in the countries which are at war." Mr. Harrison added that many Southern manufacturers had opportunities for export business growing out of the war and that roports indicated they were "taking intelligent steps to secure a share of their trade." RAIN OF BULLETS FROM THE AIR. Shrapnel Bombs Thrown on Town of Dunkirk. Four German aeroplanes flew several times over the city of Dunkirk Thursday, droping bombs as they flew according to the Dunkirk correspondent of the Daily Mail. Soldiers in the streets fired on the machines and one Taube seemed to be hit but all got safely away. The ofTicial returns of the casualties shows that 15 persons were killed and 32 wounded. The bombs were filled with shrapnel. For half an hour the whole city crackled with rifle fire and bombs, which threw up dense clouds of smoke No sooner did one aeroplane seem to depart than another arrived. Buildings in all parts of the city were wrecked. The first bomb fell on the fortifications, two more near the railway station and many others in different parts of the town and in the suburb of Rosendaell and the districts of Coudekerque and Furnes. One child had an arm blown off and an old woman was killed outright. The fifth aeroplane remained as sentry outside the town, ready to attack any of the allies' aeroplanes that might see kto repel the air assailants. I Worn Out?

CATTLE SHOULD BE KEPT, NOT MARKETED. Times Were Never Better for Putting Beef on Thin Stock, Declares Clemson Expert. Clemson College, Jan. 5.?"Keep ,vour culuc now. uon t market tliem." This is the advice tht J. O. Williams, live stock demonstration agent of Clemson College, would give to the farmers of this state. Upon returning from a trip through a portion of the State recently, Mr. Williams said that he had noted everywhere he had been, a tendancy on the part of the farmers to sell their cattle, especially those they had been pasturing for beef, before selling anything else. This, said Mr. Williams, is really a very unwise policy, and he proceeded to give his reasons for the statement. "Farmers who are marketing their thin cattle off of grass at ridiculously low prices," said Mr. Williams"eaused by their glutting their local markets, will do well to keep the unfinished cattle on the farm to consume the waste products and roughness. Cottonseed meal and hulls, at present prices could be brought to finish these cattle on and fed with large profit to the feeder. The prospects were never bettor for a high market than the future markets for beef. By feeding cattle for the market and marketing them in carload lots for a community, much larger prices are sure to follow than when farmers depend entirely upon their local butchers. i "Cattle taken off pasture are just in condition to put on the heavy grains in the feed lot. Unfortunately, many of our farmers are letting their cattle go at just the time they are ready to begin their best gain periods. Cattle taken from grass and sold directly will never command the price on the open market that will he commanded by cattle finished on feed, and when cattle are marketed in the low condition in which are a large per centage of those coming off pasture in the fall and winter, only the prices j/i v ? ailing I v/i i.ailllt'1 O UI1U l'Uf.L'1 f) (ti t.! likely to be realized. "An animal just from pasture as a rule is in condition to make the greatest gains, which mean profit for the feeder. In addition to losing the most profitable part of his cattle's growing period, the farmer, by selling now, loses also the valuable manure which the cattle would give him for the building up of his soil. We need all of the manure on our lands this winter and next spring that we can get, in order that as little money as possible may have to be put out for commercial fertilizers. "For finishing cattle in the feed lots we would advise the use of cottonseed meal and hulls." r ? ? (ATTENTION Mr. Stock Owner!
