TWO GERMANS BUYING COTTON IN SOUTH Says Senator McLaurin in a Recent Interview on This Subject GIVES HIS ADVICE ON HANDLING CROPS Went to Washington Last Week to Take Up Official Matter. Senator McLaurin has been called to New York, presumably for a conference on the cotton situation. It will bp remembered that in August he suggested in a letter to President Wilson that the allies be extended a : credit for the purchase of supplies in j this country. Senator McLaurin said he had reason to believe that the Germans were buying cotton here; that it was inconceivable that a nation so far-sighted would permit England to obtain a monopoly in this important munition of war. Even if peace were declared tomorrow, and England had the surplus cotton, she could compel the continent to buy it at a large profit. "It would be a singular condition," he said, "when we remember the situation last fall, to see foreign governments' competing in our markets for cotton." Asked what made him say Ger-1 many was buying cotton , he said: "Well, I think it better not to say too much; business people don't want their affairs paraded in the newspapers." "It is magnificent, the way the farmers are holding," he continued. "The present advance is due to cheap money. Low prices in the fall have come heretofore from the contraction of credit. This is the first time that we1 have had extension of credit just when needed, at the crop marketing period. Credit is always freely given at the planting season, to promote a big crop and then brutally withdrawn at the marketing period, so that the distress cotton breaks the market, and after the middle-men get hold of it credit is again made easy and it advances. This year the tenant farmer is having .a sow. I think the State warehouse .system of South Carolina played an important part, but Woodrow Wilson -and McAdoo turned the trick, and I .say, God bless them. "I want the farmers to hold the present crop, and let the cotton carried over be consumed. Force the consumption of the surplus of 1914, then next spring we will talk "turkey" about 1915." Col. T. B. Thackston accompanied the senator to Washington. Col. Thackston'said that "in the! dovolonmonf /?f fVir. ? ? .?L.?..v 1.1iv, outK >.* urtsiiouse system we have just reached the really big thing in it?direct sales cotton from the farm to the consumer. This means a stable price for cotton and standardization of grades. The commissioner has done a great work in providing negotiable security which enables the gradual marketing of the <cn0p, but, after all, borrowing money <on c6tton is a mere temporary expedient; the main thing is to sell advantageously. We do not grow cotton to warehouse; we grow it to sell. "My plans at present have not been formulated, and I prefer to say nothing until after more mature deliberation and a more thorough acquaintance with the plans of the federal government. I will say, however, that the result can only be acheived by ^*e cooperation of the individual farmers. The organization of the farmers for marketing purposes is the foundation. I believe that the success in securing credits at this unusual time for the advance of cotton prices at the marketing period is such a lesson that the farmers of the South are orenared now to iro further- It inspires them with confidence and tcach/\s them the value of combined effort. "There is no reason, why, with the machinery which Mr. McLaurin has perfected, to wit, the State warehouse system, that the farmers of this State can not organize and control absolutely the sale of this year's cotton crop."

FOREIGN ITEMS GATHERED AND CONDENSED FOR EASY READING Germany has completely acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. Congress prdbably will be asked to approve in December a continued | building policy for the navy having for its object maintenance of the navy on the basis of at least 48 first class battleships. With settlement of the Arabic controversy, the dispatch to Great Britain of the long delayed American note on interference with trade is expected within a few days. Secretary Daniels has ordered all submarines of the F type out of commission for a thorough examination. His action was taken upon the report of a board of inquiry which ascribes the F-4 disaster to a battery explosion Secretary Daniels informed a delegation of business men from Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., recently headed by Senators Martin and Swanson, and Representative Holley that he would again recommend to congress that a giant drydock be constructed at the Norfolk Navy yard. The Anglo-French firiancinal com nussioners, who are seeking to establish a mammoth credit loan here, and American financiers, who expect to supply the money, were reported to be at odds over the burning question of including munitions of war among exports to be paid for by the proceeds of the loan. Negotiations for the aquisition of the Pensylvania Steel Company by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation which, if successful, may lead to a still larger combination of steel companies, were in progress here last week. While it was learned that the deal was not finally closed, it was stated that an announcement to that effect might made soon. William Jennings Bryan has announced that he had taken under ad-! visement a suggestion from editors of foreign language newspapers published ire the United States that he make' a trip to Europe as a private peace envoy to the warring powers.
