The senate has passed a resolution calling for daily prayer in behalf o: the nation, its fighting sons, its cause. / It is proposed that men and women everywhere and of every faith pause at the hour of noon to pray. There will be th?se who will speak scornfully of this proposal. Lei them keep to themselves their unbe lief. Millions of Americans will wel come the idea because it gives nat ional expression to the truth that spiritual values are the supreme con cern in this war and that spiritual forces must have their part in win ning it. In a little folder issued by some "Loop" business men who have been meeting daily for prayer an incident is told of the early days- of the war: When the telegram announcing the French victory over the German hordes at the battle of the Marne in September, 1914, was delivered to the English war department. Lord Rob erts, w^ho was in Lord Kitchener's of fice, said: "Only God Almighty could have cone this." And Lord Kitchener said quietly: "Somebody must have been praying." The same folder quotes General Foch as saying concerning prayer: "We shall be saved by it. and it will not be the, first time in this deadly struggle." The brave soldier is rarely an un believer. He comes in such close contact with the stark realities ot life and death that he feels the need of God., If these men, who pl^n their battles in terms of manpower, of guns and shells and airplanes, find place for prayer as a factor in fight ing for a righteous cause, what civil ian dare opp se his little three-foot shelf of intellectual doubt? Some emphasize the objective val ue of prayer; some make more of its subjective value. The particular the ory is of small moment.?. The vital thing is recognition of the spiritual significance of this great conflict. With a few exceptions, all of us, whatever be our creed, can find common ground.?Chicago Post Buy Fertilizers Early. Clemson College, S. C, Aug. 31.? The necessity for the early purchas ing of fertilizer is a matter which every county agent should bring to the attention of the farmers in his county, and urge that their fertilizer requirements be made known through the regular purchasing channels as soon as possible. There is a chance that South Carolina farmers may not get their share, because of the fact that farm ers further north are already buying their fertilizer supplies, ar.a drawing on the supply that should come to this State. An extract, from a statement is sued by the Oliice of Information, United States Department of Agri culture, will show that the office con siders this a very important matter. "Farmers are urged by the United States Department of Agriculture to place orders at once for fertilizers needed for fall wheat. It is very im portant that dealers and manufac turers know the farmers' needs as soon as possible so that orders can be combined and car space used to the best advantage. Delay in order ing may result in a repetition of last spring's experience, when many farmers faiied to receive their mixed fertilizers and acid phosphate until after planting time." Second Primary Candidates. The following candidates for State offices will be voted for in the second primary. Tuesday, September 10th: For United States Senator?Thomas K. Peeples (Bleaseite); William P. Pollock (Wilson Democrat). For Attorney General?Claude x. Sapp (Bleaseite), S. M. Wolfe, (Wil son Democrat). For Commissioner of Agriculture? B. Harris. W. I). Garrison. For Railroad Commissioner?H. Jh Arnold. (Wilson Democrat), A. A. Richardson, (Bleaseite). The line was drawn by Blease Richards and other Bleaseite can didates and the Charleston Ameri can early in the campaign. Ever} loyal Democrat should draw the lin< at the ballot box next Tuesday ant vote a straight anti-Blease ticket The way to kill Bleaseism is to vol< against every man who supported Blease and was affiliated with him h the present campaign.

Garrison and B. Harris, both oi Anderson. Congress. Fourth District: Horace L. Bomar and Sam J. Nicholls, Spar tanburg, Candidates for the offioo of comp troller general for the full term werf also ordered to go into the second primary next Tuesday. This vacancy was created by the recent death c Carlton W. Sawyer, who would have i been elected without opposition last Tuesday, had he lived through the campaign. The committee ordered the entrance fee turned to the estate of Mr. Sawyer. The entrance fee into the race for the United States senate was also or dered refunded to the estate of th2 late Senator B. R. Tillmam The en trance fee in the race for governor was also refunded to Thomas H Peoples, who left this contest to ente: the race for the short term in th? United States senate. Time to tile pledges and pay the assessment fee for comptroller gen eral was fixed at noon tomorrow. This brief time was necessary in or der to have adequate time in which to print and distribute- the tickets throughout the State by next Mon day. Only one local contest was heard. This was in the race for supervisor in Barn well County, where J. S. Still was declared the nominee by the county executive committee over B. H. Dyehes, the incumbent, by only four votes. An appeal from the rul ing of the county executive commit tee was^ brought before the State committee on the ground that some ballots placed in the wrong box were counted. Upon this showing the ^tate executive committee reversed tne county committee and ordered the two candidates again go before the people and be vote! for next Tues day. / The State committee also appro priated $1,000 for the use of the na tional Democratic executive commit tee, an appeal having been made by the national committee and a repre sentative having come to Columbia to solicit aid. John Gary Evans, State chairman, emphasized that he had received many letters commending the ease and dispatch with which the election was handled under the Australian ballot system. Not one letter had brought a word of complaint, Mr. Evans emphasized. The authors of a number of these were complimentary of the accuracy and industry which characterized the work ?f Ashley C. Tobias. Jr.. the secretary of the com mittee, in having a special ballot prepared for each precinct to which the Australian ballot applied. Al though replete with hundreds of op \ port unities for errors, not one had j crept in. it was pointed out. ' This was the Srst Statewide trial of the Australian ballot, and that it gave universal satisfaction was the consensus of opinion from every one. X. B. Dial of Laurens.

I COTTON SEED PRICES. mportant Cojifcrenee Bold in Colum bia Tuesday?No Agreement Wa> Reached. Co the Farmers of Sumter Count.\ i and the State: Do not sell your cotton seed at present prices. Seed will be at be eween $67 and $75 in the next ten days. Yesterday Capt. Claffey and the writer spent the day with Mr. El liott, the food administrator; Mr. Svans, of Troy, representing the Tinners, and Messrs. Lawton and Acree representing the crushers. The writer went to the meeting be lieving that $S0 may be obtained. Capt. Claffey was instructed by Or ar.geburg farmers to stand for* $73. Should the excess of vegetable oils ??aid by Dr. Denny to have been re cently dumped on this country prove io be a myth like the surplus cotton hat Senator Smith found to be not "here, ?M) will easily be the price. I ?m not sure but the low cotton pros ^ects will bring about this result. If our request that the order not to feed or use for manure raw seed is rescinded, it will bring abeut the same result. The crushers were very frank with us. and their statements covered-the subject from eve?-y angle, and we have every reason to believe that they were truthful. But all their ligures and statements amply pro tected their end of the industry. To ward rh?, close of the conference they offered to at once put out a price of $60 an3 $63 dollars for seed, if Capt. Claffey and I would approve'it. "We told them we could not approve, so sniall an advance, because., it wxuild prejudice our case, but we woul<I .ap prove $67 and $70 temporarily?^-this they declined. We teamed that representatives of the cotton States, (Ihe official advis ory marketing board of cotton States, our State not represented on account of the. primary election) met in Washington last Monday and agreed upon $67 and $70 for seed and .$54 for meal. We learned that the fer tilizing value of meal is $62.59-r*i>er ton. and that feeding interests pro tested vigorously against such a price ?that it would kill the cattle indus try, etc. When we presented the facts that show how farmers' costs have ad varced we were told that the food administration have a chart that shows that cotton seed have advanc ed moie than any other farm pro duct. $00 per cent against and av erage of 200 per cent for other pro due \ We learned that when oil millers ask for a higher price for linters the war industries board tell them - we c-in substitute woo.-i pulp at a lower pri._e?therefore the two war needs being out cf the way by the impor tation of vegetable oils, and* the threat to use wood rulp in place ' of linters for making explosives we feel that we should be free to use our seed as we please. We asked Mr. Elliott to ->ut that up strongly to the food adn inistration which he promised to do today?he left for Washington at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, The refiners of oil have been sum moned to Washington, and the crush ers are expecting tc be called this week. Do Cue farmers want repre sentation at these conferences? If so the.' must provide the means. Very few of us can give the time from our farms and pay our own ex pen ;os too. 1 called Mr. Elliott's attention to th< injustice of making us pay 70c per hundred for ginning and bagging snd ties. So it was agreed that the $3.50 rate per bale applies to bales up to i"25 pounds and 70c per hundred for all over r.2." pounds. ?1 per bale additional for staple cotton. An or der to this effect will be issued in a d; y or two. f thinl: the public should know That Mr. Elliott made it plain two weeks ago that a ginner may gin for less, provided it is not made up by seme other feature ol his business. I; was made plain that farmers e.-iTi club together, load and ship their own seed, and secure the agents' benus for buying and loading. 1 think these facts should be placed before our farmers, and I have made this article as short as possible to cover the salient features of the con ference.

There seems to be a misunderstand ing with the ginners as to the charges ;'or ginning cotton. The ruling of the State Food Administration September 3rd. is that ginners cannot charge for the weight of baggin ; and ties and says the prices announced were for net lint cotton, bagging and ties weighing twenty-five pounds. Therefore, gin ners must not charge in excess of $2.50 pet- bale unless weight of the bale, including weight of bagging and ties is more than five hundred and twenty-five pounds. For the excess over that weight at the rate of 70c per hundred pounds of lint cotton is the proper charge. G. A. LEMM.OX. County Food Administrator; Sumter. S. C. Sept. 5. 191S.
