Washington, Sept. ?The Ameri? can* government will make no effort tu secure safe oonduot from the Unit? ed Btatoi for Dr. Constantln Theodor Dumba, Austro-Hungartan ambas? sador here, until tlie Vienna govern ?)!<nt has replied to the request that the ambassador he recalled. This Was stated on high official au? thority tonight. Dr, Dumba telegraphed Assistant Secretary Phillips of the state depart? ment from Lenox, Mass., today giving notice that his government had re? called him on leave and asking that the American government arrange for his safe conduct to Vienna. He added that ho planned to sail September 28. The message was addressed to Mr. Phillips without official title, the am bassador apparently treating his oin* cial status as ending. Acting Secretary Polk conferred With President Wilson tonight on the Dumba incident and other interna? tional questions. Dater it became known that the United States would await formal word from the Austro Hungarlan foreign oilice acting on Dr. Dumba'i request. Whether the American government will he satisfied if Vienna carries out Dr. Dumba'i request and gives no? tice that he is to he withdrawn "on leave" was not disclosod tonight and will not ho finally determined until it is seen what form the Austro-Hun gaiian reply takes. As dispatches from Vienna have indicated that the government there already has chosen a temporary successor to Dr. Dumba, it is taken for granted here that no attempt will bo made to send the lat? ter back here whatever may the man? ner of his going. The delay In receiving a reply to the Dumba note is believed by officials I to be due to difficulty in communica? tion between Washington and Vienna. Bevern! message^ received recently from Ambassador Penfleld have been nearly a week in reaching Washing? ton. The president was still considering tonight what action, if any, to take in regard to Capjt.

A letter in German written by Capt von Papen In which occurred a phrase which has been translated "these idiotic Yankees" wus referred to trans)astori at the state depart? ment today to determine the exact meaning of the German words. Most Of the Archibald letters al? ready received here were sent to the department of justice by the state de? partment. They will be examlnd by Assistant Attorney General Warren to determine whether action can be taken against Archibald and others not having diplomatic status Involved in the case.

Columbia, Sept. 12.?Papers of do? mestication filed with Secretary of State H. M. McCowil this morning by the B. 1. DuPont de Nemours & Co., of Wilmington, Delaware, gave rise to the question if this big powder com? pany intended establishing a branch factory in South Carolina. The papers tiled in the case state that the princi? pal olllce of the corporation in South Carolina to he "its ollice at its plant near the Atlantic Coast Lumber Cor? poration's mills, at Georgetown, S. C." ,The domestication papers are signed i by Irnee DuPont, vice president, and were mailed dfreet from the main of? fice of the company in Wilmington, i Delaware, and approved by C. S. Mudge, attorney. The DuPont Company has large contracts for the manufacture of war I munitions for the allies and the tiling I of the papers in this State today at? tracted a good deal of interest. The statement that their main office would be at their plant at Georgetown ap? parently conllrmed the idea that South Carolina is about to share in some of the tremendous profits which are being made out of the manufac? ture of munitions of war for the allied nations of Europe. Georgetown is admirably located for such a plant, on deep water and with ample railroad facilities. Confirma? tion of the purposes of this company in domesticating would be of great in? terest to the State. The company is capitalized at $240, 000,000. May Add to Georgetown Plant. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 22.?The filing of papers of the domestication by tho E. L DuPont Do Nemours Powder Company at Georgetown, S. C, was explained by John J. llaskob, treasur? er of the DuPont Company, this even? ing. It was the first paper filed by the new company, known as E. I. Du? Pont Do Nemouid & Co., since the financial reorganization about three weeks ago. The routine must be car? ried out at each State capitol before the said campaoy can do business within the State. When asked con? cerning the report of the erection of a new plant at Georgetown, S. C, Mr. Kaskob stated that no plans had been formulated in that direction. The al? cohol plant, which is situated there, has been going at full time. Mr. Kaskob's remarks implied that addi? tions may be made there in the near future. LOAN MAY FAIL Morgan Finds Difficulty In Obtaining Money for Lug laud. New York, Sept. 23.?Opposition to the Allies' war loan is so great that negotiations may have to be reopened along different lines. The chief ob? stacles are the unfavorable financial condition of Great Britain as revealed by tho new budget, opposition to itus ?la's participation in the loan, and the antagonism of the western inter? ests which recently lost fifteen million dollars by the seizure of cargoes by Great Britain. J. P. Morgan is at? tempting to overcome the , lukewarm ness of certain bankers who, until re? cently, favored the loan. Foreign commissioners have been Informed that it will probably take months to bring their plans to a successful con? clusion. BULGARIA SEEKS POWER. AH Europe Guessing as to Iteai Policy of Bulgaria. London, Sept. 23.?While Berlin dispatches affirm that Bulgaria will Invade Bervla with the Austro-Ger man forces, advices from Borge state that King Ferdinand has called the Bulgarian cabinet to consider new pro? posals of the entente powers. Definite news from Sofia is anxiously awaited. It is evident that Bulgaria intends to make herself a power in Europe, no matter which side she chooses to fight Ion. VICTIM OF CATTLE TICK.

CASES AT MANNING. Docket for Criminal Court Term Not Heavy. Manning. Kept. -??.?The court of general sessions convened here this morning with Judge & W. G. Bhlpp presiding. Although there was no summer term of the criminal court here this summer, the criminal docket was not found to be very heavy this morning, there being only about 15 cases for trial, and only one of them for murder. Several negroes pleaded guilty to various charges, such as as? sault and battery, larceny of live stock, etc., and on account of the prosecuting witnesses having died, about three cases were nol prossed by the solicitor, so at the close of today's work, with two cases having been actually tried, the court was nearly half done. The case against James T. Hamilton for breach of trust resulted in a mistrial. The case against S. J. Clark, who is one of the city police? men, for aggravated assault and bat |tery, resulted in a verdict of not guilty, the jury being out only about live minutes. The court house has been repaired since last court, as it had been dam? aged by the storm, and now presents as good appearance as when tirst opened for court. Potash From Nebraska. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 20.?Nebraska niay soon be ready to supply the de? mand of America for potash, the sup? ply of which has been absolutely cut off by the European war. Already a Nebraska concern is shipping car? load after carload of potash every week to Eastern States, where it is used as the base for farm fertilizers, and the output of the plant is soon to be doubled or trebled in an effort to supply the demand caused by the cutting off of the German supply. Reports have been circulated of de? posits of potash in Montana, Wyom? ing, Arizona and several other states, but the Nebraska mine is the iirst one to actually produce the substance in quantities sufficiently large to pay to ship to market and sell. Heretofore the entire United States has been Cored to depend upon Germany for potash, but the necessity caused by the war has proved so stimulating in its effect that the American potash will hereafter come from within the boundaries of the United States and not from Germany. The Nebraska potash mine is in Sheridan county near Alliance and about three miles from a railroad. In? stead of being In mass the potash is held in soluton in the water and in the muddy bottom of a lake. The lake covers 2?0 acres to a depth of ten feet, and below the water there lies a stratum of mud from twenty to thifty feet in thickness. Both the water and the mud are strongly im? pregnated with potash, and it is from water and mud that the commercial potash now being shipped is taken. The Nebraska potash mine is a pumping proposition and not a drill? ing for the mineral the owners work big suction pumps and force the heavy impregnated water direct from the lake into great evaporating vats. Here heat is applied and soon the water is driven off, leaving a residue of potash, salt alkali and several other substances. The potash Is In such quantities that it can be used com? mercially. Thousands of pounds of tho mineral are taken out of the lake every week and shipped in all di? rections. Lute in the summer the water In the lake evaporates and disappears entirely, leaving behind nothing but a mud bank from twenty to thirty feet in thickness. The potash concern digs deep wells into this mud and the water oozes through the mud into them. Then this water is pumped to the plant and evaporated. It car? ries a far higher percentage of potash than does the water out of tho lake when there is no shortage of mois? ture and the water is twenty feet deep. The main body or ledge of :ho pot? ash has not yet been found, although the search for it has been pushed for the last live or six years. Long ago it became known that there was potash In the waters and mud of the lake, but instead of trying to utilize the solution the owners of tho pro? perty spent their time in attempting to find the body of potash whence that in the lake came. Deep wells were bored a different points in the 'vicinity and the borings were examin? ed very critically. Not an ounce of potash was found. The waters of other lakes and streams near Alliance were found to be absolutely all right and not impregnated with the potash nol none of the soil surrounding iho potash lake was found to be impn; nated with potash.

J., Sept. 21.?"It is the beginning of the end of the horse. Horses in the near future will only be used as ornaments. Their commercial value will be nothing." Thomas A. Edison laughed today at his plant here, as he surveyed another of fcS accomplishments?a storage battery for delivery wagons. Before half a hundred experts he explained the mechanism. They stood awe stricken as the light horseless delivery wagon rolled around the yard. Mr. Edison has reached an agree? ment with a vehicle company for the distribution of the wagons. Before entering upon the agreement he stipu? lated that the wagons must be sold at such a price as to place them within easy reach of the corner tradesman, who could not supplant his horse and wagon with an expensive . utomobile delivery wagon. Pisgah, Sept. 20.?It is hot with no prospect of cooler weather. Peas, po? tatoes and all young crops are suffer? ing for rain. Cotton is prematurely opening. The crop is very light, not ever sixty per cent of last year. It is being rapidly picked out Forty cents is the price paid for picking and I hear of no kicking. Peavine hay is now being cut. The crop is tine, and if the weather con? tinues dry another week the crop will be saved in line, order. A fairly good pea crop will be made. If cot? ton continues at a good price not much wheat will be planted this fall. A lot is on hand and you can't get it ground. A number of people are dis? gusted at the .?t?te of affairs. Water mills are about dry and the roller mills are crowded with no prospect of the congestion getting off. So people have to buy Hour, even though they have wheat enough to do them, if it could bo converted into flour, could be converted into flour (Why don't they send a few bushels at a time, when chey send their corn to mill, and use it as Graham flour? It is both palatable and healthy that way.) Most of the planters will hold their cotton seed until January for better prices, and the prospect is for a fine price. Money is easier to get than last year, but the cotton crop will bring no more money this year than the crop of last year, owing to its shortness. So our people (except in wheat) are no better off than last year, for the crop expenses of this year added to the indebtedness of last year, makes it about the same as last year. However much Germany is hated by some Americans, all can but ad? mit her line army and the education of her people. She has certainly taught the world a lesson in fighting. The old "lady" is being taught some. thing she did not know, I hope for her lasting good. A ride into another county quite recently discovered a strong Blease sentiment for governor next year, by those who voted against hi n. With Manning, Cooper and Blease, wc will have "ginger and spice, and everything nice" and the more the merrier. If women keep on as they are going, they will soon occupy a man's place with the exception of dress, and I am not sure about that. So the sweet, modest, retiring woman who reigned as a Queen over the household and made home an earthly paradise, will soon be obsolete. God forbid that it should come to that. Can any one tell where Ellie is? I have not heard from him since last year.
