Washington. Sept. 18.?A day or
two ago. while the house way eonsld
wlufc the urgent deficiency bill. I >n
greaanuin W. P. Stovcnson rupped the
UuPont power people hard for ^o-i
iracting with tho ' cottonseed oil trus
la the South" to buy up cottonseed
products at a sum much less than
their real value and then parading
thslr patriotism before the peoph o.
this country by having this govern
meat buy its powder from them ai
a reduced figure, tho formers paying
the difference.
"My desire 1? to use tho few mln
ntes allotted to mo in culling atten
tk>n to the fact that under the man 1
Motion of some of the department
of the government more of the bur
dens of this wsr ui * to he laid upoc.
certain sections of our people cum
lag from the Southland country thn .
they are entitled to boar." Mr. Steven -
?on said. "In other words, as the tes?
timony shows on page 766 of tho
hearings on this hill, there Is a state?
ment made by the officer there tcs
tlfying before the committee that th?
powder Is being bought for ten cent
a pound cheaper than It can be n. in
Wactured by the government in li<
araenals.
It la said that it is being bough
for It' per cent. less, and perhaps
more than that, cheaper than it ha?
been sold to our allies abroad Tha'
sounds very patriotic from the stand?
point of Mr. DuPont, who Is furniah
sag the powder, but when we conn
to look Into it we find this situation
Mr. DuPont has contracted with
what la known as the members of th
cottonseed oil trust in the South, wh
control 46 per cent, of the seed, and
of the Unters that go into the munu
factum of explosives, to buy their en
tire output at' $2.50 a bale less th i .
he paid for it last year; that 1?. ro
roduclng It from an average of seven
and a half cants to five cents. Having
Baads that arrangement, he secured ??<
per cent, of tho necessary muU-r.a
for manufacture in these explosiver
far the govornnient. The Independen
companies are all at soa. because the
do not know what they can do. Th^
rome up here in a panic to get nos
to Mr. ImPont's men and then man:
of them sail out at $2.50 a bale oi
their output cheaper than they wert
paid iaat year. ? . _ ......
"The government, according to th
testimony here. Is saving about $30,
?00.093 on Its ten cents u pound dt
durtioO for explosives, and after the}
have made this arrangement the t ot
toneeed crushers yeaterday reduced
the prtce of cotton seed $11 a ton ul

In tho market and propose:, to regu

as I gather from telegrams that h.iv

"Iiet us look a minute to see bo -
much, to save the government lh
$30.000.000 on explosives, they hav
taken out of the hide of the Souther
farmer. You will find that it wil
cost the Southern farmer $?1.875.00
to reduce the price of explosives t

\ last few days made insinuations that
there will bo an embargo placed
upon the exporting of Cwtton. There
is less cotton than,..tho,.manufactur?
ing world will need, as I shall show
l'efore I get through. What has bee
the result? In 20 days they have re?
duced the price of cotton $30 a bale
I*et us see what these two items

ccst.ng the cotton farmer of tin
' Fouth. A reduction of $81 a bale cm
the 12,500,000 bales that the agrlcul
ttiral department estimates will be
made this year in the South amount,
to $375.000,000, and a reduction
which was put into effect yesterda>
of $11 a ton on cotton seed makes a
reduction of $61.875,000. which Ulfdtet

threatened action ot^our government

farmers of the South; and yet wo arc
expected to pay taxes heavily in th
maintenance of this war, and we ex

is going. Who is getting it? Ther
has been no reduction yet.
"The cotton manufacturers all ovci

That is where it is going, and th
government is not getting any consld

sold to tho government on the basi:

As I said a moment ago, Mr. DuFon
for his patriotism, and the sce<

While I do not want to talk loca

tt strikes re. that the activities tha
aro denied, . ause they publish i
the newspapers that there is no IIC
crasity for this talk about M cmbar;,
upon cotton affecting the price of cot

South a pretty penny.
"Tho mischief has been done, whih

that jusi the talk of an embargo an i
the talk of interference with the pro?
duct and putting it on the skids goes
on the extent of reducing the prlc
of cotton $30 a bale for 30 days, o
In other words, it goes down a dollar
a bale every day. Where is the ne?

for the fact that the speculators and
the officious intermeddling apparent?

BELGIAN DESTROYS GERMAN.
Enormous Kncmy Rumplcr Machine
Brought Down.
Washington, P . t. 17.?How Ad?
jutant Maurice ivledaets of the Bel
glan Hying corps, tricked a monster
German two-man airplane into a
dght at an altitude of 20,000 feet,
riddled it with machine gun fire, and
sent it crashing to earth behind the
Belgian lines, killing the pilot and
ol server, was- told in a message today
to the Belpian legation.
Medaets was cruising above Dlx?
mudc on September 11. when he saw
shrapnel from the Belgian gun.
breaking far above him and he has
toned upward to investigate. A tier
man machine with two men was try?
ing to escape the gunfire and Mci)aft:
gave chase, but could not overtake
i?is enemy.
"Finding that the German slthei
would not light or was endcavorint
to lead him Into a trap," the lega?
tion's statement says, "the Helgian
decided to try a ruse. Making a hall
turn. Medaets started slowly toward
the Helgian trenches at an altitude ot
20,000 feet. He saw the German turn
and follow him. Keeping above his
adversary, nfedates continued t<
watch him until they were over Di\
mude, then, turning quickly, opened
lire with his machine gun. He could
see that the German observer, se?
verely wounded, had sunk down In
hll seat, and that the German ma?
chine evidently was out of commis?
sion.
"The Helgian machine was ap
proaching the enemy at such a rat<
of speed that Medaets had time onl.\
to fire a few shots point blank and
to make a perilous loop to avoid .i
collision before the German plane
riddled by bullets crashed down
within the Helgian lines.
"The German airplane was found
to be an enormous 'Dumpier' of the
latest model, put into service on
I
i August ;*, propelled by n 260-horse -
I power Mercedes motor and armed
I with two machine guns."

PROFIT SHARING FLAN
GOVERNMENT PROPOSITION FOR
SETTLEMENT OF BHIPBUILD
ING STRIKE.
Want's of Workers to Bo Increased
and (?overnntent Will i'ay I tail In*
crease (i routed by Companies Noi
Unking over io Per cent. Profit.
Washington, Sept. 19.?The govern*
ment today opened a way for possibU
settlement of strikes In Pacific Coast
shipyards by offering to pay half ol
any wage Increases' for companies
making not more than 10 per cent.
profit on comandeered ships. Ban
Frunsciso builders in whose plants n
strike of iron workers Is in progress
agreed to consider the workers' de?
mand for more pay on the cost shar?
ing proposal and prospects for set?
tling the strike were reported bright.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board postponed Indefinitely a trip to
the coast on which he had intended
to start today. Agents of the board
and of the department of labor in San
Francisco reported that the employer
and men seemed near an agreement
and work on the commandeered ships
might be resumed in a few days.
Mr. Hurley conferred again today
with Samuel Gomperi and c her offi?
cials of the American Federation ol
Labor. Tomorrow he will give at?
tention to the strikes at Seattle, Port?
land and other Pacific coast points
and indications were that they might
be settled on the basis of the proposal
made to San Francisco builder*,
The shipping board's action is con?
sidered significant inasmuch as if
indicates belief that the workers' de?
mand for higher pay should be grant?
ed. The board also emphasizes it
determination not to let any difficul?
ties prevent the speedy prosecution of
its big shipbuilding program.
I To avoid being compelled to pay a
proportion of wage increases for com?
panies making big profits on govern?
ment contracts, however, the present
order specifies that profits of more
'.nan 10 per cent, must be applied to
I tho government share of the pay?
ment. In cases where profits are hign
the entire additional cost of extra pa)
grants may be borne by the builders.
I The cost sharing proposal will ap?
ply only to vessels under construction
commandeered by the government to
hasten their completion and will no'
affect ships ordered originally by tin
government, contracts for these*cov?
er BUCh exigencies as wage Increase
either under a plan to pay cost plus a
percentage profit or on a fixed charge
I basis.
The total cost of the new arrange?
ment is estimated by shipping board
officials as only a small proportion of
the expense incurred in taking over
ships under construction.

Trenton, Sept. 10.?Senator 1?. R.
Tillman, who is upending a few days
at his home on account of the health
of .Mrs. Tillman, being advised by
numerous friends that there was a
probable combine in restraint of trade
among the cottonseed (rushers, ad-,
vised the attorney general at Wash
ington of this- belief among our peo
pis and requested that he send a spe
Clal representative to investigate the
matter. He was advised by wire on
Monday that a special agent would be
sent him to obtain any facts he may
have In the matter. The senator j
would be glad to hav wire any?
thing going to substanti dc the om
bine, in order that he may present
the facts to the special agent when
he arrives.
The senator was- asked what he
thought about the cotton situation. He
was free to express the opinion that
cotton would go higher, but did not
feel like advising the people to hold
cotton, as the price of cotton was a
thing no one knew anything about;
that if there ever was any reason why
it should bring 27 cents, the same
reasons exist now. As far as he is
concerned, he will not sell ids cotton
at the present price.
Senator Tillman is a large raiser of
long staple cotton and has many acres
that will make a bale to the acre. He
also has an unusually line tield of
Mexican June corn, planted in June.

The Tlmruwcll Orphanage.
The Thorn well Orphanage, located
at Clinton, S. C, is the name of the
Home for Orphans under the care of
the Presbyterian churches in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It has
thirty-live teachers- and matrons for
its twenty-four departments and cot?
tage homes, in which are sheltered
above three hundred orphans. The
home receives Children from any
part of the union, and from any de?
nomination. During July and Au?
gust eighty-two applications were
received, of whom only nineteen
could be accepted. Above two Hun?
dred are on the waiting list. These
are all supported by the generosity of
the Presbyterian public. We hope
! the friends of the school will do as
all the other Orphan Homes are ex?
pecting, Observe Orphan Work Day
on the loth of October. The observ?
ance consists in sending your day's
wages for that day to the institution
you favor. The Thorn well Home has
idled up every vacancy, notwith?
standing the war and high prices
and will shortly erect another cot?
tage. The pupils of the Home have
the best of schooling and manual
training and are very carefully
taught. None but orphans are re?
ceived. Contributions should be sent
