GERMANY SEEKS LOAN; WILL
BE FITFH FLOATED DURING WAR
London, Aug. 25.—Arrangements
have been completed for flotation of
the fifth German war loan. An Ex
change Telegraph dispatch from the
Hague says the loan will be concluded
Sept. 4 and the interest rates will be:
five per cent. as in the case of the
previous loans. Subscriptions will be
received up to Oct. 5. The issue price,
the dispatch says, will be 98.
Count von Roeder:n, secretary of the
Imperial Treasury, has instituted
measures to popularize the loan, which
the dispatch says, is being described
by canvassers as ‘“the last loan of the
war.” Former issues of war bonds
may be turned in as subscriptions.
The fourth German war loan was is
sued in March. Tt was sold at 981%
as aginst 99 for the third loan. An
issue price of 98 for the new bonds
would indieate that Germany, in com
mon with other belligerents, is being
compelled to pay a higher price for its
funds as the war goes on.

RENEWAL OF U-BOAT :
WARFARE DEMANDED
Washington, D. C., Aug, 25.—Mail
reports of a ‘“manifesto” recently - is
sued hy 'Admiral von Tirpitz, former
liead of the German navy calling for
an unrestricted renewal of the subma
rine warfare, have been received from
Berlin by the State Department. The
dispatches are very vague and the text
is not included nor is it revealed what
official position, if any, Von Tirpitz
now lolds. i
he “manifesto” was issued about
a month ago. It declared renewal of
submarvine operations would cripple
Kngland seriously and do no harm so
far as the United States was concern
ed as that country already is doing
Germany as much damage as she pos
sibly could, even in a state of war.
Why Von Tirpitz, even though re
tired, would be permitted to issue
such a manifesto if it were violently in
disagreement with official policy, is
not understood by officials here. As a
rotired officer he still would be subject
to military=discipline. :

PHICE IS ALREADY FIFTEEN AND
MORE—SEED HITTING HIGH
RECORDS-—-FARMERS HAPPY.
One hundred dollars and more for
the cotten and seed! It is true and it
‘has been many moons since it was the
‘case before. Cotton is going up, and
‘Uzo price of cotton seed is climbing
steadlily and rapidly. Thirteen, thir
teen and a half, fourteen, fourteen and
a half, and then fifteen. That's the
way cotton jumped up in price within
the past ten days or two weeks. When
it got to fifteen the farmers were well
satisfied and felt that a least such a
price would partially remunerate them
for the low prices of last year and Ilmi
heavy damage from excessive rain
that the crop has suffered this yez:r.}
But still the price went climbing, fif-|
teen and a sixteenth, then fifteen and
an eighth. !
Those best in position to know say |
that the end is not yet and will not be |
until the staple brings eighteen and
twenty cents per pound. |

ltion of the three men. The captain,
|who subsequently was found guilty
“mt, insane by the courtmartial, report
!od he did not believe the guard room
to be a safe place for such “desperate”
men as Sheflington, Dickson and Me-
Intyre. He said he had heard six hun
dred Germans were marching on Dub
lin, and that large forces of rebels
were about to attack Bortobello har
racks. He was told that soldiers on
leave were being ‘“shot down in the
city like dogs,” and had these things
on his mind at the time he ordered
the shooting of the three men.
Adjt. Morgan tcstified there was
nething incriminating in the docu
ments found on the prisoner. The com
mission ruled against raising the ques
tion of Capt. Bowen-Colthurst’'s sanity.

!\‘/ARWICK FARMERS AND CRISP
COTTON GROWERS HAVE THE
PEST NOW AT WORK.
The boll weevil is not cnly next
door to Crisp county, as reported from
Warwick last week, it is actually in
Crisp county and npt more than a mile
| from Clordele. ?
The pest has been found on the farm
'm‘ IMlanders Holiand within two miles
of Ccrdéle to the west and on the
| farm of Monreoe [unt within about
lu mile of Cordele to the east. (onsid
crable damage has been wrought hy
fl!):) weevil on sections of the cotton
crops on these farms within the past
few days. It made. its appearance
several days age and the effects of its
damaging wvork hecame more and
iuore noticeable from day to day. Mes
ste Helland «nd Hunt state that al
ready it is evident that ihere are no
urogpects for o top crop at all. They
‘have gotten ‘actively into the squares,
and all unopen bolls in places are be
ing affected.
While all possible efforis will he
made by County Farm Agent Jolmsnn;
to curtail the effects of the weevil,
there are no hopes to prevent its'
spreading from farm to farm before |
the season is over, and it is expected
that another year willi open with the
weevil a common pest in the county.
The fact that most of the cotton is
open throughout the county will large
ly minimize the effects of the weevil
this season, even where the pest ac-|
tually exist. There will probahiy he
no damage of consequence except to |
the top crop. |
LONG STAPLE IS
!CRISP COUNTY FARMER MAKES
CLEAN-UP ON THE SEASON'’S
l OUTPUT.
| b
.. The experience of W. T. Napier, a
well known farmer whose place hor
ders on the Crisp county line, just
ov2' in Dooly, shows a great profit in
iong staple cotton in this section.
That the soil of this section is thor
oughly oadapted to the producticn of
tlie leng staple crop Mr. Napier has
found te be true and hie can net on an
an average 30 per acre more for his
cotton than for short staple cotton.
Mr. Napier has sixty acres planted
in the Webber variety of long staple,
and from this crop he has already
guthered and sold eight bales, while
thiere are a number of.others gathered
that have not been scld. From the
sale of the eight bales he realized
close arcund $BOO, or twenly cents
per pound average. A number of
bales of this variety of cotton grown
in Crisp this year have classed high
and in several instances brought as
much as twenty and seven-eigits.
Mr. Napier states thai his long sta
ple crop willi make fully as much cot
ton per acre as his short staple crop,
and that the difference in price per
bale is about $306. Long staple cot
ton has grown greatly in favor in
Crisp during the past two years, prior
to which time there was very little
planted in the county. ;

GIA—NEW LAW PLEASES THE

Local spartsmen have no grievance

last legislature in the game and fish
laws of the siate. On the other hand
the changes scem to mect with. popu

could be only onec objection to the

month of August, and that is, that
sportsmen and everybody else are
mighty busy during August, and es
pecially this year, lending their part
to the movement of the cotton crop.
This change was made for the bhenefit
of the sportsmen of North Georgia who
ciaimed that when open season came

of the doves had left north Georgia
