Italian ambassador to Turkey, today handed to the ports a note de? claring Italy considered herself in a state of Wat With Turkey and demand? ed his passports, according to a dis? patch from Constantinople to Amster? dam transmitted to the Central News. The reasons given in the note lor Italy's declaration of war were the support Klven by Turkey to the revolt in Libya and the prevention of the departure of Italian residents from Svria. A Steffani News agency dispatch ?I'ln Come say.- Italy ha - declared war against Turkey. Although Italy declared war on Austria May 14, there never has been toy declaration of war between Italy and Germany nor. until now, between Italy and Turkey. Friction Imi ween Turkey and Italy, however, has been In evidence since shortly after the hitter's entry into the war.

Bulgaria Itlll awaits a reply from Scrvia to the suggestions of the en? tente ministers that Scrvia cede Macedonia to Bulgaria, while Greece is likely to declare her future policy when the chamber meets this Week, The opinion Is o?pressed In diplo? matic1 circles here that it is signili eant that II, Vcni/.elos, who always has bet u friendly to the entente, has decided to take charge, in addition to the Grecian premiership, of the, OfBoe of minister of foreign affairs. With the inclusion of Italy among Turkey's Opponent! in the war and with Italy's well known desire for expansion in the near Fast, the Dai kan states may consider that the time is ripe for them to enter the Held and get a share of what falls to the Victor!, The continued retirement of the Russians seems to have little, if any Influence on the situation. Military critics believe a victory for the en? tente allies in the Dardanelles would more than offset this so far as the Near Fast is Concerned and tile Franc??-British forces are increas? ing their efforts to 1 ?rce the strahs. There is little change in Poland and the Haltic provinces. A big battle is being fought along the Kovno-Vilna railway and the River Nieinen, but tlds is overshadowed by movements against I ircst-Litovsk. The AUStro-Qerman forces ate across the rivers ami roads north and south of this fortress, which is invested from three sides, and curi? osity is evince as to whether the Russians intend to defend it. For the moment they are resisting the Austro-Gorrnan advance hut this may be only with rear guards. Bngagemcnts in the West have been of minor importance. The Kreuch Claim to lUiVC repulsed Ger? man attacks in ArtOls and in the Vosgee, while both sides are ex? pending ammunition in artillery en? gagements, bomb throwing and oth? er artifices. The Italians report slight progress on all their fronts. Southern Crops. If the elimination of profit in raising cotton by the European war can bring '?< me to the South the value of diversified crops the loss to the Southern former will not have bean entirely in vain. While it is true that cotton is the la sis of the Smith's wealth, it is equally true that the small farmer of the South has been ridden by the one crop?cotton?idea until he has bet n to a la.gc extent imp. Ished by it. Custom and the hope of cleaning up a big pr dit each year have led to <*? habitual over-acresge of cotton as regularly as si eh planting se ason has rolled around, to the practical exclu? sion of grain crops. This shortage of home grown grain has hr.d the effect of limiting tin- raising of live stock. The South has come to get its bacon and beef as Well as its corninenl and Hour from the West iis a matter of Course, although the home grown product is superior t<> tin- imported in every case. As buig as cotton fetches a good price this system Works wall enough, for then the West, in supplies can be purchased for considerably |e*S than the cotton brings. Lut when the bot? tom drops out of the cotton market then the Southern farmer can neither eat the product of his soil nor sell u for enough to pay expenses, Many uf the mall farmers mortgage their ? iops before their cotton is picked; the result of such is bankruptcy. it |m h grim lesson that the South Is learning, it mu) well be that the loss will reach $200,000,000, as some Rout hem authorities compute. Hut already there are indications that the loan has taught what Kutte govern? ment campaigns for diversified crops have laibd t<? Inculcate. The lie partment ol Agriculture's latest fore? casts give Georgia an Increase ??i 111,701,000 bushels over 1 II in its Wheat, com and ..a' crops. This |s typical of the Southern states from Yiit.inia to Texai Perhaps the pres? ent loss may mean gain in future 2s*. v.u.wiilug Bun. M'ADOO ANNOUNCES PLAN TO MEET ANY NKEIM3 OF SOUTH liV GOLD DEPOSIT?. To Insure Supply of Money for C rop Secretary Says, funds May he l>e posited Directly in National Hanks' Instead of in Federal Reserve, as Now Proposed. Washington, Aug. ?Treasury of (Iclals tonight made public an an? nouncement by Secretary McAdOO that In view Of the action of the allies in putting cotton on the contraband list, he would. If necessary, deposit 000,000 In gold i 11 fedegal reserve banks 111 Atlanta, Dallas and Rich mond for the purpose of enabling tin reserve banks to rediscount loans on cotton secured by warehouse receipts made by national and State banks be? longing to the federal reserve system. The gold would be deposited tem? porarily, at least, without interest charge. It was explained that If it appeared the object could be accom? plished with greater efficiency there? by, the deposits would be made di? rectly with national banks agreeing to lend the money on cotton at a rate not to ?%ceed U per cent. Secretes:y ItcAdoo authorized the I announcement from his summet home nt North Haven, Maine. It I came at the close of a day of specu? lation in official circles as to the na? ture ofstepewhichthC tao2th2 h mm ture of steps which the entente powers have indicated they will take to uf> hold the cotton market in the face of their contraband order. "In the exercise of the discretion given U) him by law," read the treas? ury Statement, ' Secretary IfcAdOO said that the government, for the time be? ing, charge no interest on these de? posits in federal reserve banks, that such action isustifled ES'?U$.jU afRRR BUCh action is justified by the unusual situation respecting cotton caused by the European war; that he considers it his duty to use every available means in his power to help the cotton producer of the South in the circum? stances; that it is a matter for eco? nomic Importance to. the entire na? tion that those who have produced the cotton crop shall have a fair op? portunity to dispose of it gradually ami in an orderly manner so they may n?t be forced through inability to market their cotton gradually to sell it at sacrifie prices. "The secretary said that his chief object was to create a basis for such an enlarged credit in the South that the hanks will have ample resources I to extend to producers such accom? modations that they will be able to carry cotton in warehouses for a rea? sonable length of time until it can be marketed advantageously. "in order to noomplleh this, he said thatt he national and Statv banks Urbich are members of the fed? eral reserve system should make loans on warehouse receipts for insured the banks can well afford to carry cotton at low rates of interest; that cotton for producers at 0 per cent., especially if they are able to redis? count cotton paper at the federal re servef banks at a much lover rate than 1; per cent.; that the credit re? sources of the hanks of the country are greater than ever before in our history and that there is no reason why banks should not, in cooperation with the met chants of the South, help the cotton producers with loans at low rates in the present peculiar situation. "The federal reserve board, the secretary said, had a right to deter? mine the rate of interest which the federal reserve banks can charge member hanks on notes or loans se? cured by insured and warehoused cot? ton rodlscounted with federal reserve bunks. He hasbeen d ehradoiumlcl banks. He has been unable to consult his colleagues of the federal reserve board on account of his absence from Washington, but feels confident of their cooperation in every reasonable way. ".Mr. McAdOO said, however, that should it appear that the object in view could be Accomplished with greater efficiency to the cotton pro? ducers, tin- merchants and the banks of 'he South by depositing govern? ment funds in the national banks di? rect instead of in the federal re? serve hanks, he would take that course und make deposits in such national butlks as wotdd give him the assur? ance that the money so deposited or Ion nod on cotton insured or ware? housed ami at a rate of Interest md to exceed ? per cent. "The secretary declared he believed that thrc was no occasion for alarm tiboul the future of cotton and that if the bunkers and merchants would c u operiltc with each other and with the cotton producers of the South in a spirit n| patriotism and mutual "< gurd l?u eac bother's welfure the sit? uation could be handled with happy results to all concerned, lie expressed tin- earnest hope that this would be done." Liquor Must Go. in ? masterly speech before Iho United State? senate at the hearing of the Interstate liquor bill, February 10. 1913, Senator Webb of Tennessee uttered these optimistic words; "1 am *?i optimist. The world is getting better every day. in my boy? hood 1 saw liquor sold absolutely without restriction.* II Is now restrict? ed in a thousand ways. I saw gambling untrammeled and Indulged in any? where, even on the public highways. It has been driven into guarded dens. I saw public hotting on horse races. It is now a thing of the past.

' The world is stirred on this ques? tion." ' Working Gold Deposits. The Fheohee Valley section of Oco nee is receiving considerable attention just at the present time. Some time ago Messrs. Frank Peterson ami Guy L. Hoover, mining engineers, came to Walhalla to look over the gold de? posits in the Cheohoe section. They aro still at work, and have met with some success, though MS yet nothing "sensational'* has developed. These gentlemen are, however, investigat? ing thoroughly with reference to the large gold deposits of the Cheohoe Valley, which have long been known to exist. The trouble heretofore has always been the expense of getting out the ore. This feature is being g'iven thorough investigation by Messrs Hoover ami IVtorsnn, who came here from Tuisa, Oklahoma.?Whalhalla Keowee. ? H Love?And Understanding. ?To know all is to pardon all," oar French friends tell us. Yet love and trust will supply the lack of knowledge and produce the same happy end. In oplte of the fact that the natures -of men and women are different, It Is pos? sible for a man and a woman to UVe happily together, although not under? standing each other. This lack of an derstandlng is for their good. If a ?an know every thought, feeling and mo? tive of a woman, what would his lave be wo.rth? Love Is faith. True P>ve knows ho jealousy, no doubt. It is be? cause a man does not know a woman, but his faith in her purity and hon? esty, that he is so dear to her. She Xr.owft that lie Is taking her upon trust, as shr> takes Mm, and it Is their lalth In on* another that binds them. There are r*> rifte In the rosy cloud of Hue love, for trOo lovo is perfect faith, and tho ftoud tbat Is riddled by the shafts of 4oubt and jealousy is a ragged clo?d that reflects only a little of the suifshlne of life, while the greater part fllUrs through and is loot in the luiats beyond. Civilization's Onward March. "Progress is like tho insidious change from youth to old age, except that progress does not mean decay. The change that is almost Impercep? tible and yet inexorable Is much the same, however. You will see a com? munity apDarently changeless as the years pass by; and yet, whea tho years have gone and you look back, there has beea a change. It Is not the same. It never will he the same. It can pass through furHier change, but It cannot go back. Men look back, sick sometimes with longing for the things that were and that can be no more; they live the ?*ld days In mem? ory?but try as they will they may not go gack. With intelligent, persis? tent effort they may retard further change conslderably? but that in the most they can hop* to do. Civfllza tlon and time will continue the march in spite of all that man may do."? From B. M. llower'e book, "The Fly? ing U's Last Stand." . -, # i Fat Not a Disease. The notion that fat Is a disease grew solely out of tho fact that after death from certain chronic and long? standing diseases various Impoftant tissues of tho body, such as the heart muscle, the liver, the brain, and more rarely the kldnev, were found large ly changed Into fat. In our pompous Latinlty, they had undergone "fatty degeneration." In the good old days of Ignorance we had no better sense than to say that this state of sffalrs was the cause of death, and that the vicious fat had, so to speak, choked and taken the \rtace of the higher and uioro valuable active tissues.

Seasoned Lumber Best Sound lumber, 2a years old, has been proved by a German government test to be materially stronger than new stock. AMERICANS CLEAN CP SERY1A. Hope to Stamp Out All Epidemics Before Winter. A. S. Ward, of Boston, secretary of the American Sanitary Commission in Serbia, has returned from that coun? try with the news that the work of the. American doctors and sanitary experts is proving successful beyond all ex? pectations. Mr. Ward said: "The work of the American doctors and sanitary engineers in Serbia is di? rected toward prevention rather than cure of the various epidemics, and they are rapidly cleaning up the towns to prevent a further outbreak. The old cisterns are being gradually destroyed and artesian wells substi? tuted. "Dr. Richard P. Strong, who is in charge of the American sanitary corps In Serbia, is trying to stamp out every particle of infectious disease before the cold weather begins. "The work of disinfecting the Ser? bian soldiers and their clothing by the American doctors is an undertaking, which is proving eminently successful in ridding the country of the vermin which carry typhus. It was impos? sible to transport the troops to any one station, so it was necessary to im? provise a traveling disinfecting plant. "The train is sidetracked at any large camp and dressing tents are erected. From these the men Jump into the bath car where the hose Is turned on them. When dried the bathers are oiled with petroleum, which kills the, vermin. When the bathers* clothes are removed they are placed in the sterilizing car to be thoroughly steamed and dried. As many as a thousand men and their clothing are cleaned in one day by the sanitary train. "In some places men are found to he suffering from scurvy and separate treatment and medicine are given them." No Fowl Value to Alcohol. If alcohol is a valuable food, why do Arctic explorers like Nansen refuse to use it? If a valuable food, why are men under athhetic training prohibit? ed from using it? If a valuable food, how did it happen that the twenty four total abstainers out of the eighty three contestants at the Kiel sixty two mile walking match In 1908 won six of the ten prizes, nearly all gain? ing the goal, while nine-tenths of their moderate-drinking comrades fell by the way If a valuable food, why do a majority of the life Insurance companies of Great Britain give total abstainers lower rates; their experi? ence showing that they have a decided advantage over "moderate drinkers?'* If a valuable food, why do hospitals ?how a remarkable decline In Its use in recent years, nine In Dublin today using only one-seventh as much as twenty-five years ago, eight In Lon? don less than one-half as mach as five years ago If a valuable food, why was it that soldiers given to drink in that march of 30,000 men to the re? lief of I^dysmith fell out of the ranks as though hit with a club; the testi? mony of Sir Frederick Treves, physi? cian to Edward VII? If a valuable food, why was it strictly prohibited by Lord Kitchener during his campaign In the Soudan? If a valuable food, why have the great captains of Indus? try In America placed a ban on li? quor so far as their employes are con? cerned? These are not sentimental temperance fanatics who are trying "to suppress or distort scientific facts." ?Rev. Joseph H. Crooker, Boston, president of the Unitarian Temperance Society. The Cow and Her Product. The dairy cow is an economical producer. Skimmed buttermilk is cheap and easy to make. * A dairy cow furnishes profitable employment every day, rain or shine, warm or cold. It is estimated that a well-fed cow saves a farmer about $18 per year in fertility. The milker should keep his hands dry during milking. Milking with damp hands is filthy and Is apt to cause .a cow's teats to chap and annoy her. Cream should be cooled Just as ?oon as It has been separated from the milk. A simple way of cooling is to place the can of cream In good oold water, using ice water If pos? sible. Fall calves are always more thrifty than spring calves, as the annoyances from tiles and hot weather is much greater for calves born In spring. Besides, it is wise to have the heavy How of milk coming in winter, when other farm work is not so heavy. Medical men are freely recommend? ing buttermilk for indigestion and various forms of stomach disorder It Is said to be peculiarly suitable for persons with gout or rheumatism, since it tends to prevent stiffening and narrowing of the blood vessels. The Dairy Division of Clemson College has on hand so many re questa for help in silo-building that it is certain that this year will be the best silo year South Carolina has yet had. A silo is a sign of good dairy farming.
