LEfilSUTION Oil tOlli RELIEF
Washington, D, C,. Oct. 21.—-With a ( Glass and Bulkeley on the Democratic
compromise cotton relief proposal un- »i<j e denounced the cotton amendment
der consideration in the House and
a joint conference committee at work
on the war tax bill, the tangled legis
lative situation cleared slightly yes
terday and hope of adjournment of
Congress by Saturday again was
.felt
Cotton forces in the House, which
had been bolding up the revenue bill
to force cotton legislation, gave way
when the House Holes Committee re
ported a special rule for considera
tion of th# L**4>r cotton warehouse
bill and the Glass bill authorizing
the acceptance of 100 per cent com
marclal paper as a basis for federal
reserve currency. The rule carried i
special amendment to the Glass bill
to authorise the Secretary
Treasury to deposit In cotton and to
bacco states $250,000,000 2 per cent
government notes maturing Jan. t.
mi.
With the understanding that this
proposal was to be considered In the
House the cotton states represents
vigorously,
Another tie-up came when an effort
was made to end debate on the rule.
Representative Glass insisting that
quorum should be present. A rc
call disclosed only 168 members and
the House Anally adjourned.
.May Re Rroaght Up Today.
Effort will be made to bring up the
cotton proposal today although under
House rules Wednesday must be de
voted to consideration of the calendar.
Representative Payne, attacking the
cotton proposal, declared "tha*. f ©»■
ery part of the countr/ In distress as
a result of the war 1c to be helped
from the federal treasury no $250,000,-
000 will suffice." The relief of the
8outh, he asserted, was a private mat
ter and should be left to private
sources. Ranks, he said, already had
started a scheme to raise $L>O,OO0* r O
for the relief of the South.
Representative Mann favorei
Lever bill and the Glass bill, but as-
tJvc* allowed Home leaders to send eerted thst the proposed $251,000,000
the war revenue bill to conference.
The House and Senate conference Im
mediately began a session which most
of the disputed sections of the bill
were agreed on.
The cotton relief plan met with op

"Therefore, the first thing to
done in raising hay is to decide on
the variety to be raised and then
strive, as near as possible, to keep
that field free from other grasses. The
subject as to which variety is best to
be raised is too lengthy to discuss
here, other than to suggest that al
falfa, which only has to be planted
once and which produces four or five
crops a year, is in growing demand
everywhere and worthy of thorough
investigation by the progressive far
mer.
After getting the bay-meadow in
shape to produce some particular kind
of forage the next thing to consider is
proper curing and baling. Many a
good crop has suffered materially in
market value owing to the careless
and Improper manner in which it
taken care of after cutting. The
brightness and sweetness must be
preserved to make it bring a top price.
Then after curing it muat be proper
ly baled. The most suitable size is a
bale weighing about one huudred
pounds and bound by three wires.
The smaller two-wire bales do not
stand transportation as well and the
loss from burst bales is so great that
It causes hay so baled not to bring as
good price as the three-wire bale,
even though of equal quality.
’These suggestions—if followed out
—will make Georgia-raised corn, oats,
wheat and hay able to compete with
Western-raised grain and forage of
the same quality. The best admoni
tion Is for the farmer not to expect to
get as much for bis goods as It would
cost him to buy them. He pays the
manufacturers a profit on the cloth
ing made out of the cotton he pro
duces and thinks nothing of It. So he
must expect the distributors of the
other part of his crop to make a legi
timate profit for handling. If he
would but consider tho high freight
rate the Western shipper has to pay
to deliver his grain and hay in Geor
gia, ho would realize that he is actu
ally getting a great deal more for his
crops than the Westerner, even when
sold In competition with Western-
raised products."
Atlanta, Oct. 11.—81nce the atten
tion of Georgians has been drawn so
forcibly by the exigencies produced by
the European war to the wisdom of
the "buy-at-home" and "Mako-Geor-
gla-SeH-Suitainlng" slogans that will

tURENS FAIR
Laurens, S. C., Oct. 21.—Seventy-
five people were Injured, many of
them seriously, here yesterday when
the grand stand at the Laurens coun
ty fair collapsed, Precipitating be
tween 500 and 1,000 spectators to the
ground.
Immediately after the collapse of
the stand many women and children
could be seen In the debris, apparent
ly insensible, amt-rumors of whole
sale loss of life spread quickly
through the town, but physicians said
last night that fatalities are unlikely.
Those most seriously Injured are:
Mrs. J. V*. Sanders, Laurens; Mrs. Joel
Smith, Waterloo; Mrs. Sam Williams,
Waterloo; Mrs. J. R. Ellis, Laurens;
Roger Todd, Barksdale.
That the accident did not result In
heavy loss of life Is considered mir
aculous by those who witnessed it.
Fortunately no one was underneath
the stand as the fair proper had just
begun and all were watching the
races.
After order had been restored and
the injured carried to the local hos
pital in Improved ambulances the
fair directors decided to proceed with
the program. All the physicians of
the city offered their services and
everything possible is being done for
the Injured ones. The Laurens fair,
which was postponed from last week,
opened yesterday morning. The
grand stand had just been erected.

C. 8. HARDY * SOX$ 0710.
a two-hour discussion here yesterday
directors and governors of the twelve
federal reserve banks refused by two
.'votes to support the proposal of Sec
retary McAdoo to open the new bank
ing system for business November
16. By a vote of 37 to 35 they recom
mended that the opening be set for
November 30.
This action has no binding effect
upon the reserve board or upon Mr.
McAdoo, for the currency act gives
the Secretary authority to open the
banks when he believes they
ready to do business. It was evident
last night that memoera of the board
were not pleased with the recom
mendation of the banks, and it Is pos
sible a meeting of the board within
the next few days will develop suf
ficient sentiment to bring a vote ask
ing the Secretary to name a date
earlier than November 30.
Bankers Visit White Hoase.
Discussion of the question was tak
en up immediately after the bankers
returned from the White House,
where President Wilson declared his
belief that the best thing for the
country was to open the banks at the
earliest possible date. "Otherwise, 1
said the President, "we should seem
to discredit In part the very thing
that we are undertaking."
Speeches were made at the confer-
ice yesterday by men representing
every one of the twelve banks,
sectional difference of opinion was
apparent, but the smaller of the re
serve banks reported they were more
nearly prepared to open on Novem
ber 16 than those In New York, Chi
cago, SL Louis and other larger
cities. The chief line of argument
against opening on that date was that
it was physically Impossible for the
directors to be ready. In-'several in
stances the director have not yet
chosen their governors and In many
cases quarters have not been select
ed.
Some of the Southern bankers were
particularly anxious for an early
opening because of the assistance the
federal banks might give in taking
care of the cotton crop.
To Return Home Today.
It was said last night the directors
would go home today and begin work
preliminary to opening. If the re
serve board later finds that there is
every reason to believe a simultan
eous opening on November 16 or No
vember 20 can be accomplished In
spite of opinions to the contrary ex
pressed here yesterday, the date will
be fixed. The board already has vot
ed to open all the banks at the same
time, but It is possible this decision
will be changed if any special rea
sons are discovered to make opening
on the part of some of the banks be
fore tho rest desirable.
The conference yesterday devoted
much time to hearing reports of com
mittees. The one in charge of a defi
nition of commercial paper, regard
ed by many bankers as of first im
portance, recommended in a general
way a broad definition of such paper,
but decided to continue its work
further.

GERMANS DRIVEN
00T0FR0ULERS
Amsterdam, Oct 22.—(By way of
London.)—The Telegraf learns from
Sluia that the allies were successful
after a bombardment of Roulers
West Flanders that lasted throughout
Tuesday night. It is reported that
the allies now occupy that town.
The Telegraf correspondent {ays
40,000 Germans last week occupied
Roulera and later moved to reinforce
the array near Nieuport and
mude, leaving only about 100 men to
hotd the town. On Sunday
French dragoons from Ypres routed
this guard and took possession. Sev
eral thousand reinforcements soon
came up and built barricades in the
streets and posted artillery.
A German force hastily despatched
from Burgea and Ghent later swept
down on .the y>wn and supported by
artillery, gained an entrance. Fierce
street fighting followed, the French
being forced to retreat Once again
the Germans occupied the town and
burned down many buildings to open
a way for their artillery. Many of
the inhabitants, the correspondent
says, muat hare lost their lives In the
cellars where they sought refuge.
On Tuesday reinforcements for the
allies arrived with heavy guns, and
after an all-night bombardment, re
captured the city.
