CITY OF RICHMOND
SUBSCRIBES QUOTA
Subscribes Half Million Dollars
in Twenty-Seven Minutes?Richmond
Coming
to Front as a Commercial
City.
Richmond. Va., is one Southern city
that does things upon a big scale. The
State of Virginia, although not one of
the chief cotton producing States,
subscribed her quota, one million dollars,
to the cotton loan fund. Richmond
whose quota was half a million
dollars, subscribed the half million
dollars and thirty thousand more at a
meetinc of the rharnhpr of oom-.rmrr>r>
held in that city, November 10. The
fund of more than half a million was
subscribed within twenty-seven minutes.
The Richmond list was headed
by Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer Co.,
with a subscription of $100,000. This
subscription was five times as large
as the next highest. Richmond has
been forging to the front as a business
centre in recent years. This
move, the rapidity with which it was
carried through and the spirit of cooperation
which was shown, go to
prove that the development in commercial
lines is a reality and not simply
a boost. The Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer company leads in the progressive
city of Richmond. No wonder
there is growth, substantial
growth in a city dominated by such
energy and pluck.

GERMAN CRUSIER
- SUNK AT LAST
Emden Sunk After Destroying
Merchant Ships For
Months?Greatest Record
Since the Confederate
Cruiser Alabama.
London, Nov. 10.?Widely different
claims of contending armies in the
eastern and western theatres of war,
especially concerning the West Flanders
situation, tonight left but one
big undisputed fact on land or sea.
That was the destruction of the German
crusier Emden and the trapping
of the German crusier Koenigsberg,
the latted in a pplm-lined East African
river under circumstances which
read as though they were taken from
Stevenson.
The British marine insurance rate
almost instantly was cut in half?for
never since the days of the Confederate
States' cruiser Alabama hps
there been such a successful commerce
destroyer as the Emden.
Cheers broke forth at Lloyds on the
announcement and for the moment
the struggles of the armies in France,
Relgium, Russia and elsewhere were
forgotten.
The vessels destroyed by the Emden
had a total value of about $4,000,000,
exclusive of their cargoes.
The Emden's guns pre only 4.1-inch.
Of these she had ten. Her speed of
24.5 knots was her greatest asset, as
she was able to run down merchant
ships with ease and then escape from
larger but slower vessels that pursued
her. British, Russian. French
and Japenese warships in the East
had been attempting for weeks to put
an end to her career.
It has been more or less of a mystery
to naval men how the Emden has
been able to keep at sea month after
month without running short of coal
and supplies. It is assumed, however
that she has obtair\ed sufficient food
and fuel to meet her needs from captured
ships. In at least one instance
tnis is known to have been done. The
captain of the British steamer Exford,
captured by the Emden in the
Indian ocean, reported to his owners
that the commander of the Emden
said that before he sank the Exford
he entended to take on board his
cruiser the 7.000 tons of steam coal
with which the Exford was laden.
The first report of the activity of
the Emden was received Aucrust 6,
when she was said to have been sunk
in action with the Russian cruiser Askold.
o: Wei-Hai-Wei. This was
contradicted a fe\y days later, when
word was received that the Emden
had sunk the steamer City of Winchester
on Aucrust 5. and steamintr
into the Bay of Benpral five days later
had sent two more British vessels to
the bottom.
Within three days she had sunk
Four vessels there. She was accompanied
bv the Hamberpr-American
steamer Markomannia as a collier.
The Markomannia was sunk on October
16 off Sumatra hv n HriticVi
crusier.
In Memory of Mv Friend,
"Uncle Daniel" Barnett.
(By one who loved him, Miss I.illie
Long, Jonesville, S. C., R. F. D. No, 1)
On the evening of August 8, the anuel
of death visited the home of "Uncle
Daniel" Barnett and bore his spirit
iway. He was dearly loved by all
tvho knew him; he has passed from
sur sight though the sweet memories
}f him will live on in our hearts.
While his body sleeps in Hebron
churchyard, he has gone to be with
his Savior whom he loved so well. The
stormy winds may sing around his
tomb, yet he heeds them not, he has
ajone just over there to join the host
if angels in Christ's eternal home.

thine image from the heart,

San bid it hence depart.

Mourn, loved and lost for thee

Within our childhood's home
Speak of the cherished absent one
Who nevermore shall come.
They wake with mingled bliss and

But would we call thee back again?
We joy that thou art free.
'Kmid earth's conflict, woe and care,
When dark our faith appears,

That on thy head no more shall fall
The storm you may not flee;

IVHiLiTUIN
Kelton, S. C., Nov. 11.?Wo have
been having some very fine weather
and the farmers have been putting in
good time gathering their crons and
sowing small grain but there is a
good deal of cotton yet to pick. Some
farmers have not yet sown any grain
for the reason they have not yet got
the crops gathered ofT the land they
want to sow down. I predict the new
law just passed by the legislature will
prove a great blessing to the people of
South Carolina, for we flvill have
much more grain in our barns, etc..
next year than we have now and we
can also raise a good crop of cotton.
Some people are complaining of the
sixty or seventy thousand dollars that
it cost the State for the extra session,
but that is nothing to compare with
the benefits that we will reap by the
law. Many farmers now realize the
importance of having plenty of home
raised supplies. Some men will say it
it unconstitutional. Well, if it is th"
income tax and the Sherman antitrust
law is, if I understand it right.
It is all the same principal?that is to
help the average people of our country
in all vocations.
i near that Miss Sallie Porter of
Kelton, who underwent an operation
recently, is not improving as fast as
her friends hoped for, and her sister.
Miss Viny, stuck a pin in her thumb
last Friday which she is having a
deal of trouble. Blood poison set in
and she was suffering intensely yesterday
evening. I have not heard
from her today. Drs. Wheeler of Kelton
and McElroy of Union are treating
the case. It is hoped they will be
able to treat the case successfully.
These ladies are the daughters of the
late H. S. Porter and sisters-in-law of

PARKER WILL RETAIN
HEAD COTTON MILLS
Will Not Sever llis Connection
With Mill Merger?
Retires For Recuperation
?Work Too Strenuous
For One Man.
The following is from thy Greenville
Piedmont of Tuesday:
The retirement of I.ewis W. Parker
as president of the Parked Cotton
mills and the appointment of Melville
C. Uranch to suet'eed him does not
mean that he will entirely divest himself
of his aetive connection with the
corporation bearing his name, but,
according to his own statement, will
retain his holdings in the mills and
will continue to act on the board of
directors. Mr. Parker returned to
Greenville Monday from New York,
where he had been in attendance upon
a meeting of officials of the mills
and where he tendered his resignation.
With him was Alex. Macbeth,
who resigned as treasurer. William
E. Hcattie, who was appointed as Mr.
Macbeth's successor, is not expected
to return before Tuesday, according
to latest advices from him.
At his ollices today in the Masonic
lempie, a host of friends greeted Mr.
Parker and a pleasant expectancy
was realized when he assured his callers
that he would not sever his connection
with the interests of the corporation.
To a reporter he confirmed
as practically correct, the "story" carried
in the New York Commercial
Journal in which he is quoted as sayins;
"That he found the burden of attending
the financial and manufacturinp
duties of the largest jrroun
of cotton mills in the South too much
for one man to handle."
The Journal of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin Saturday offered the
following comments on the retirement
of Mr. Parker:
Retirement Not Permanent.
News of the retirement of Lewis W.
Parker from the management of the
Parker Cotton mills company way
very much talked about in the cotton
goods markets yesterday. It. appears
that his health has been impaired by
the strain of the past few months,
and if his voluntary retirement from
active work had not come his friends
are of the opinion that he would have
completely broken down. As soon as
he can arrange his affairs he will take
a prolonged rest, but it will bo some
time -before he can entirely divest
himself of his active connection with
the corporation bearing him name. In- * *"
(teed, several of his friends in the
market are of the opinion that his
retirement from active business with
the corporation is not permanent, but
will last until a reorganization of the
duties of managing the concern has
been brought about.
It has been contended for years by
experienced cotton manufacturers
that no single man is able to handle
alone the onerous duties attaching to
the financial and manufacturing management
of lit) cotton mills making
different products. That Mr. Parker
has been an indefatigable worker has
been well known, and that he has accomplished
so much has been regarded
as marvelous by those who have
been in closest touch with his enterprises.
Had he allowed a financier
to handle the financial end of the
corporation's affairs ajnd priven his
whole attention to the perfecting >n
the manufacturing organization, in
cooperation with his sellinir aprencies,
it is declared by his friends that tie
could have carried the burden of corporate
co-ordination of sejrrepated
plants to a successful issue.
The methods of linanciny the hip:
enterprise necessitate the Hoatinj? of
considerable individual mill paper,
and constant watchinpr of this phase
of the business is in itself a most trying
occupation and really requires the
attention of a skilful financier. In
ordinary financial periods the business
can readily be handled in conjunction
with the manufacturing end,
the manufacturers say, but in such
times as the past four months either
one end or the other must be neglected
if human endurance is to emitimw.
Political Activities.
It was quite natural to hear many
comments .in the market to the effect
that Mr. Parker's political acticities
in conjunction with tariff matters for
the American Cotton Manufacturers'
association impaired his usefulness as
a borrower for his cotton mill enterprises.
Put it was learned from the
most reliable sources that the mills
have very rarely been borrowers in
unfriendly quarters where tariff views
might injure them, so that all comment
on that score was idle. None of
fhfk foil** nnmmiocMAn K^Mo/vr.
? ^ .X/...Hnooivii iivuoca mi uu^u
which sales of goods have boon made
has been at all conspicuous in mixingup
business with politics, and Mr.
Parker has been too shrewd a business
man to compromise the interests
of stockholders b*? leaning upon those
who might prove unfriendlv in business
for political reasons.
