! TWO SWEDEN DREADS COMING QE WINTER Made Uneasy by Prospect of Curtailed Imports from United States CROPS LIKEI.Y TO BE BELOW AVERAGE 1 "* Food and Raw Materials Very Scarce?Deny Reexporting to Germany. Stockholm.?Washington advices of the last few days forecasting the sharpest limitation or possible discontinuance of all exports to neutrals caused anxiety in government circles and among the people generally. The situation is already grave and the prospect pictured by news from America rentiers it still more disquiet ing. Crops arc likely to be below the average. Many factories in various lines are closed by lack of raw material. Others can not maintain production much longer. Benzine and petroleum are nearing exhaustion. Leather is scarce and so dear that a pair of oradinary shoes cost from ten to twelve dollars. Automobile tiros bring $.">00 a piece. The cost of living is steadily increasing. The stocks of coffee in the kingdom will be exhausted in a month. Long lines of people standing outside the stores waiting to buy coffee may already be seen. Not Re-exporting. The government has already taken extraordinary measures to deal with extensive unemployment which is con sidered inevitable if the war lasts anobter winter and it becomes impossible to import needed commodities. lr. vicrvv of the assertions in some quarters that Sweden's imports were not intended solely for Swedish consumption, the Associated Press ask cd Herr B. Trolle, formerly minister of foreign affairs and now prseident of the government war trade commission, for a statement. He said: "Official statistics of Sweden's importations for 1010 which are now nearly complete demonstrate conclusively the absolute erroneousness of as serious that we are bringing in American products tor tne purpose of passing them on to the Central pOWCv'S. "In scv.eal instances our total inn portations from America show a decided decrease compared with 1913, the last normal year, and in many instances where our imports from the United States increased, this increase tell considerable short of mak inp; good the deficit caused by tiv decrease or total discnotinuance fo our pre-war importations from belligerent countries. "A Paris paper recently declare#! that exports to Scandinavia ami Switzerland rose from $40,000,000 in 1013 to $183,000,000 in 191G. Leading American papers have published similar statistics and asserted, that : l 1.. ,i,,^ i ^ tl,,. lilt? IIlCri2U>)c? Wits ia: m?i_> uuc n; mc fact that Sweden had been re-exporting to Germany. This assertion will not stand the test of examination."

SHORT COTTON CROP IN PS DE SECTION Florence.?Whoever expects a large crop of cotton from this section is likely to be disappointed.

The upper part of the Pee Dee belt is going to be very short, from all that can be gathered, due to climatic conditions as well as to the decrease in acreage. The wet summer is aNo bad for cotton and wili cut the yield materially. There are sections of this county and parts of Williamsburg where the prospects are the best that has ever been, but the lower part of Williamsburg and a large part of this county were- cut i the protracted drought in the spring and the cotton did not come up. The plant is generally small as yet and the time for its making is i fast passing.
