It will be recalled that two
factions, the Arants on one side
and the Wallace-Wests on the
->ther, met on the streets of
L'&geland last March and engaged
in a general combat. When
smoke of battle cleared away
four men were down; several
others were slightly wounded.

Wesley Arant, was killed in-1
stantly; Dock Wallace died five
days later. The other two, Babe1
(Arant and a West boy, though
badly wounded, recovered.
Solicitor Spears made no attempt
t?? bring the case to trial
at the .Iune term of Court.
In drawing the indictment,
the Solicitor incorporated a'l
cases and all defendants in one
indictment, his position being
that the a Hair was a mutual
com bat and all defendants were
equally guilty.
When the case was called
Tuesday morning the attorneys
for the Arants asked for their
Constitutional three days; the
attorneys for the Wallace-Wests
asked for immediate trial.
On motion of the state the
Court ordered the trial continued
to the next term,
j Some of the law-abiding citi
j zens are wondering when, if ever,
this ease is to come to trial as
there is slim chance of a trial in
February.
Several other cases coming up
i were either continued or the de
fondants pb aded guilty, receiving
light sentences.

Cotton Market 1
i- The highest price paid for cotton
in Chesterfield Thursday was
- 12.25 cents.

? Smith Predicts e
Rise for Cotton <
e
s. 1 "Cotton will certainly go be- j
y yond 15 cents. Just how much j
l- 1 won't say ; but cotton is going
above 15 cents a pound." I
The above was United States ^
d Senator Smith's optimistic summary
of the cotton situation
y when in Columbia Saturday. 1
,s His conclusion, he explained,
n was based on two factors : '
, One, that the 1915 crop will '
0 not be more than 10,500,000 bales; 1
v the other the exorbitant demand
i"r for cotton for the manufacture
[n of war munitions, which is becoming
more urgent each day to ,
meet heavy orders from Europe,
plus the impending crisis in
16
Mexico and the appeal for inI
c
creased armament in the United
1 States, incident to threatened
\ 6
complications with European
j countries.
^ Recent disquieting rumors that
bankers were not properly re.
spoiiding to the federal reserve
board ruling that money should
be loaned on cotton at 0 per
, cent, also came in for attention
by the junior senator. He ex1
( j plained that he had been in
Washington with the reserve
re
board, and that while there, at
ir
his suggestion, the board had
agreed that the stream of money
or .
^ (available for discounting cotton
receipts would be shut oil' from
that bank which discounted cotton
paper at a higher rale of interest
than (J per cent. Such rular
iug, he added, precluded the idea
n. of the bank's icquief.*?nce in the
provision of the law as being op- |
, ! tionul. 'I'he banks were compelled
to comply, he asserted, to
remain an active part of the federal
reserve system.

The German War Ollice officially
announces that) the AngloFrench
artillpry preparation was
of great intensity and that the
long expected offensive movement
by the Allies has begun.
The Russians are believed to
be more than holding their own.
Iti the West the artillery is the
only arm that could be considered
at all active, while in the
Dard&nells and the Italian frontier
a few local infantry attacks
have broken the monotony of
the artillery fire.

time the Russian offensive, with
the replenishment of the army's

On the western front the British

prisoners, according to the
French ollieial communication of

' The strongly patrioctic 44Vos>ische
Zeitung" states that j
A-hile the three war loans issued
respectively on August 14, 1914, v.j
December 2, 1914, and March 20,
1915, asked for twenty billions
marks only thirteen billions
were raised. Other papers frankly
admit that at present the
country's financial position is j
desperate.
Anew effort is now to be f M
made to raise new armies to / J
make up for the dreadful 'losses /
sutfered in I'oland and Itnssia. / fl
The three classes of 11)17, 1D1H / M
and 1919 are to be called to the /
colors at once.
Part of the German press also j
takes a very gloomy view of the /
military situation particularly
I
Thus the "Neuchener Neuste
Maehvichten" writes: "The ohject
of the German army should
be to destroy the Russian armies
rather than capture fortresses.
The Russian armies continue to
carry out a retreat that was
planned by a master mind and
spendidly carried out. Only in
the open field may we hope to
win a victory that will seal the
fate of the Russian armies. j
