I *< Who did Not Produce Their K" -v Crop With Their Own t p' Force c I ? m. _ I " MANY SMALL FARMERS fc- NOW SEE THE LIGHT " r ? IT 11 The Holding* Movement is at I Last Not so Much For Their Benefit. N i There is much printed in the ncw.vt papers about the high cost of the t production of the cotton crop of 191S, c much of which is still hold hv the t j * ? . . .. i . e larmors, largo and small, as well as t bv\ merchants all over the South; and the hardship of having to soil < this cotton at the p'rcscnt price ranging around 20c per pound, which it n L is claimed is less than the cost of c producing the article. A study of the situation since it has developed sj during the last several months tends i to show many of the small farmers that the cotton-holding business was 1 ^ started by the large cotton farmers of the South, who made their crops t entirely with hired labor and costly I fertilizers, said that in the beginning ^ the holding-moverrjcnt could not benefit very much the small cotton far- < mers who raised their cotton with their own labor and the labor of their < children and perhaps a tenant or two I who worked on reasonable terms. The small farmer can afford to sell < his cotton, therefore, at the present \ price because his cotton has not cost 1 him any more than it cost him bo- \ fore; and perhaps it is a mistake that c he did not sell when the price was very high last fall. If the small I farmer who has a few bales on hand I needs money to finance his crop for !i H>18, this paper would advise him t> let it go even at 20c rather than re- J" sort to the Banks for cash and pay i Ar.iorcst at 8 nor cent.

THE HORRY HERA LI FINAL DECISION i FOR SHORT NOTES.: Washington.?Final decision for ;he sale in the Victory Liberty Loan n April of short term notes, matur- | ng in one to five years, instead of >onds was reached today by the iousc ways and moans committee. \ssistant Secretary Lcffingwell of ;he treasury told the committee thai he plan was acceptable to Secretary Gilass. Representative Kitchin, ohainnan . >f the committee, announced tonight r ;hat the final draft of the legislation ivhich amends former Liberty bond icts, would be ready for committee consideration Friday and that he . expected the measure to pass the . liou.se next week. The maximum authorization of the notes was fixed at , ?7,000,000,000, with authority given ' Seccretary Glass to fix the rates of j interest on the four types of notes to . do sold. The notes would be redeem- . ible before maturity at the option of the government on one year's notice. , The four types of notes that may , be issued by the treasury, and their terms as fixed by the committee are: First?Exempt from all taxation ex- j ecpt estate or inheritance taxes.

FIRE OF REVOLUTION RURNING IN GERMANY bavarian Government Completely Overthrown?Shoot i ing of Nine Officials. i v 1 London.?Germany was in the 1 hroes of another revolution tonight. 1 The Spartacans, unlike their recent msuccessful revolt, which centered ' n Berlin, were concentrating their ' jfforts in the industrial regions, par- 1 icularly the Rhine and Ruhr dis- 1 Lricts. Sanguinary fighting was re- 1 yorted at several points with the 1 Spartacans apparently winning a majority of the battles. 1 The Bavarian government has oeen completely overthrown, according to dispatches from various souiv?s. A soviet government was said to uivc been proclaimed in Munich by the workmen's and soldiers executive council. The three Socialist parties farmed a coalition, to administer the "proletariat dictatorship." Th ; shooting of i.inc government officials during a session of the Bavarian diet yesterday, which followed the assassination of Premier Kisnor apparently was th > signal fo the uprising in ?>J.unich. A few hourslater the city was in the hands of the I radical . (iovernmont troop*, offered on'y a feeble resistance. Pusi r.css became paralyzed. Civilians be nan an exodus from the city. Mob-; \sere rcpo:*tcd tonight to be parading the rlroets shouting "death to th. bc-u hgcoise." The demonstrations were described as identical with those of the first revolution. The Victims. The victims of the unidentified assassin in the diet chamber included: Minister of the Interior Aucr, Min istcr of War Rosshaupter, Minister of Justice Timm, Minister of Public Worship Hoffman, Minister of Communications Fraucndorfccr, Minister of Social Affairs Unterlientcr. Councillor of the War Ministry Marres, Under Secrtary for War Jahreis and ! Deputy Osel. j Auor and Osel were killed outright and Timm was said to have been fatally wounded. Rosshaupter was reported to have died of his wounds in 1 - 1 < - * uuu iw niive uci'ii inuuc prisoner ny Spartacans. The injuries of the others were said to have been less serious. Count-Arco-Valley, assassin of Eisner, died from bullet wounds inflicted by a guard, according to some dispatches. It was also reported that Deputy Autel, a Centrist, who had conducted a bitter campaign against Eisner in the newspapers, was fc'aot by the premier's friends. Gathering Recruits. The Spartacans were said to he I gathering* recruits rapidly in the i Ruhr and Rhine regions. In some places they were suppressed by government troops, but. new demonstrations would immediately break out at other points. They were said to b firmly established in Battrupp, although "German government reports said that 700 Spartacans had been killed in fighting at Dorstcn and .Hervest, the radicals were understood to be holding out in these towns. New riots were reported in Hamburg, Gotha and Stettin. When government troops approached Wilhelmshaven, the Spartacans withdrew and gave up the city without a contest. No additional reports had been received tonight on a communist riot that occurred in Budapest Thursday evening. The insurgents were said to have occupied newspaper offices, the principal railway station and the postoffico. A state of soigo was proclaimed and government troops later recaptured the station. Members of mx trades unions were alleged to have voted in favor of a general siriko to bo hold today, as a demonstration against the radicals. o WOMEN ADORESS ATTENTIVE CROWDS Contending that the Democratic party has a splendid opportunity to increase its prestige by the passage of the woman's suffrage amendment while in power, and urging that the amendment is sure to be passed sooner or later, six suffragettes from the "Prison Special" at Charleston spent three strenuous hours in Columbia last week, making street addresses without intermission from the time of their arrival in this city until their train for! Charleston was about ready to I leave. ; I KEFIIN MAKING I PLEA FOR COTTON Washington.?Removal of rcstric- p Lions on the exportation of American goods to neutral countries was urged in the house by Representatives Wood, Indiana, Republican, and Heflin, Alabama, Democrat. If the war trade board's rulings on trade with neutrals were continued another r three months said Representative Wood, foreign manufacturers would lirvr a h ad which Amercian firms ;ould never overtake. Representative Hcflin asked especially that restrictions on the exportation of cotton ^ and cotton goods be removed and reiterated his demand for an investigation of the New York cotton exchange. Under the ruling of the war trade board said Mr. Wood, exporters of Norway, Sweden, Holland or other j European neutrals must obtain a jo permit before a "license could be v granted. I "Exporters find it impossible to obtain such prcmits,'' he continued, \ "because the Netherlands overseas 1 trust, which is dominated by British s influence, and officers see to it that t they are not given. England natur- j aliv does not waul ouv mnriifnc- i turers to compote with hers. You i cannot bio me England but you can 1 blame the administration which I should have seen to it long ago that the restrictions were removed.; Representative Hcflin s;*i(i cotton I producers are being forced to accept i p. 11 abnormally low price for thr\' otton while the foreign domarid \va-; greater than at any other time in history. Referring- to the CarawaV resolution for investigtaion of the New York exchange ho declared that "nothing- hut a conspiracy and concerted action on the part of the exchange could have driven the price of cotton futures below the price of spot cotton.'* o USE BEDDING SPARINGLY. The use of at least a limited amount of bedding for beef cattle is advisable, but the extravagant use of straw, coarse hays, etc., for this pur-1 pose should bee discouraged. All j Mitn rougnages mai avo to do used! for bedding, either for fattening or j breeding animals should first be of-j fc red them in the hay rack and that vliich is refused used for bedding. 11 stover is fed the stalks, while somewhat difficult to handle, make satisfactory bedding material and should be used for this purpose rather than burned or otherwise disposed of. o tTOPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. j _ _ (Complaint Served.)

When the attack was made the 1 remicr had entered his automobile, which was about to turn a corner of ? the Kue Franklin into the Rue Dcie-sort. A man standing: on the,sidewalk dressed as a laborer jumped toward the door of the automobile and opened fire. One of the bullets penetrated the interior of the ear and struck the Premier in the right shoulder. The Premier had tried to open the door of the car when the first shot was fired, although the automobile was under considerabl headway at the tunc, and it was while he was thus engaged that the bullet hit him. Two Others Wounded. His chauffeur, Brabant, was also slightly wounded. Thus five of the assassin's bullets, it appears, took effect, three up,on the: Premier, another upon the chauffeur and the third upon Policeman Goursat, who vas one of the Police Agents who guard the Premier, antl who was wounded in one eye. It was in the struggle with the assassin after he had shot into the automobile that the Police Officer was wounded. Meanwhile the Premier had stepped out of his automobile and walked into bis house. The sound of the shots brought a crowd who took after the assailant. 'I lie police had some difficulty in getting him from the crowd and before lie was. tula n away he was beaten.
