BANKERS COOPERATE ' IN GRAIN CAMPAI6N, ALWAYS READY TO HELP IN ANY < MOVEMENT FOR THE BETTER- < ING OF RURAL CONDITIONS. < Clemson College, September 13:? The extension division of Clemson College has always found the bankers of South Carolina among the readiest citizens of the State to help in the work for better agriculture. W W Long, director of extension and State agent of demonstration, says that he has had many occasions frpnnpntlv to call on the bankers, both as a whole and as individuals, ' and has found the response ready every time. This has been especial- 1 ly true of the live stock development undertaken by the extension division. Now the State's bankers are asked ' to co-operate in Clemson's grain campaign, which has been put under way. Posters urging the farmers to sow oats and wheat and briefly setting forth some valuable infor- 1 mation about the two crops have ( been sent to the bankers with the 1 < request that they be posted conspicuously. In the letter which Director W W Long sent to the bankers J with the posters, he wrote in part i ( as follows: "South Carolina largely increased ; its food crops. Last year the wheat ( acreage was increased from 82.000 j to 245,000 ana the oat acreage was ( increased from 370,000 to between j 700,000 and 800,000. These crops have been most helpful this year, j We are not advocating the growing of grain as our great market crop, 1 The great market crop is and always will be in South Carolina, cotton, but it is very essential that we grow sufficient grain for our own use. "In order to produce cotton eco- , nomically we are now considering a campaign for the seeding of a larger grain crop than even last year and we are going to ask that you manifest an interest and give us your assistance in trying to bring about the seeding of the largest | grain crop in the history of the State. "Will you please impress upon your clients and all farmers with 1 whom you come in contact the ne- * /?^eci*tv of seeding largely in grain. 1 Advise them to commence seeding * oats in September and their wheat J early after the first killing frost. "If these instructions are carried * out and we can increase our acreage c over last year in the same proportion as we did last year over previ- * ous years, South Carolina will make r its bread." * Work Day* Saturday, Sept. 25. [ There are nearly 1000 orphan chil- I dren in the church orphanages of the State: 300 at Thornwell Orphan- ii age (Presbyterian), Clinton; 250 at * Connie Maxwell (Baptist), Greenwood; 240 at Epworth Orphanage (Methodist), Columbia; 122 at the Church Home (Episcopal), Yorkville. s The dailv bred for all these chil- * dren comes from the gifts of the s people. They have nothing except v what is given thtm. These children are being trained *to make useful, healthy, intelligent citizens, and many boys and girls ^ reared in these orphanages are sue- r r ceeding in lite, ah mese msuiu- tions are crowded and their needs s are pressing. ^ By appointment, Saturday, Sep- * tember 25, has been designated as a "Labor Day" and all who are inter a ested in orphan children are asked to give to one of these orphanages what they earn on Saturday, September 25. . Let all who will earn some money that day?the busy man at his desk, a the merchant and the farmer, housewives and school children, all wage s< earners?everybody; let a!! make a n gift, large or small, that day to one , of the orphanages named below. This has been a hard year for all " these institutions and a gift, some ^ large, some small, from everybody, is sorely needed just now: l The Thornweit Orphanage, Dr W q P Jacobs, President, Clinton, SC. * The Connie Maxwell Orphanage, a Dr A T Jamison, Supt, Greenwood, ?

Japanese lanterns were swung prm- j miscously around the piazza and >ver the lawn which only served to < five the desired effect. In one lovely and secluded corner ; Df the lawn was the tent of the ( fortune teller. This was visited by many anxious and inquiring couples who had the mvsteries of the future , narrated to them in a very careful < and authentic manner.

AMBASSADOR GIVEN EVIDENCE OF ARABIC SURVIVORS FOR TRANSMISSION TO BERLIN Washington, September 13:?Conferences today between President Wilson and Secretary Langsing and between Secretary Lansing and Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, brought the situation growing out of German submarine activites to the following status: 1. The German ambassador has | i * :_i?i i..u i.i I oeen lurin&neu wiui me eviuciicc ui officers and survivors of the Arabic, all agreeing that the liner was proceeding peacefully when torpedoed without warning, and has l^en advised that the United States desires a disavowal of the attack and reparation for the American lives lost. 2. The evidence will be sent by Count Von Bernstorff to the Berlin foreign office, to which it has not been available before, and probably ten days will elapse before Berlin can be heard from. In some quarters it is believed Berlin, after examining the evidence, may change its position and disavow the action of the submarine commander, who, it was claimed in the last note, sank the liner because he thought she was about to attack him. 3. The United States has at hand all information on the case as it now stands and is ready to decide upon . its course, but action may be delayed until Berlin replies to Count Von Bernstorff. 4. While the United States will not consent to arbitration of a principle of a question involving the A mn.iAnn 1 i , o if lino o a. i 5ttlCt.y ui niuciiv.au iivco, it 1100 av,:epted Germany's assurances that peaceful liners will not be torpedoed j without warning, and if Germany | iesires to arbitrate the amount of ndemnity, the question of whether the Arabic actually attempted to at:ack the submarine or whether her; actions justified the submarine com-' mander in believing he was about) Z'ZZZXZl I FALL I | ARRIVINI M Beautiful 1 M Goods in all tl IhJ rics and desigi M Everything and up-to-dai hfj Neckwear. ^ Inspect our ^ of Silks.

No announcement was made after today's conferences, but it was said in well informed circles that, although the American Government was not pleased with the Arabic note, the situation was considered far from hopeless. The German ambassador is understood to have been given wide latitude by his foreign office in handling the negotiations which his call today was intended to initiate. All ex- i changes from now on probably will . come through him, and it is generally believed that settlement of the Arabic case will mean prompt clearing up of the submarine question, including the question of reparation for Americans lost with the Lusitania.
