PUBLIC REGARD IMPORTANT
3 one of Whole Proceeding; How

.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."

GAFFNEY MERCHANT ATTACKED.
J. A. 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. They all
agree that it would have been infinitely
better for them had they realized

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.

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."
