Army Officer Quoted as Saying Germans Fell on Antwerp “Like a Hyena in the Night.” Washington. Louis Livingston Seaman, a first lieutenant of the United States army medical reserve corps, on the Inactive list has been called upon by the war department to explain whether he made adverse crit icism of Germany army operations In Belgium attributed to him in news dispatches. Attention of officials was drawn to published, reports in which Mr, Seaman discussing the attack on Atnwerp by the German Zeppelin, was represented as saying the Ger mans fell upon the city "like a hyena in the night, murdering helpless wo men and children.” He is said to have cabled a report to Washington. As I)r. Seaman is on the inactive list he cannot be courtmartailed for violation of President Wilson’s order lo army and navy officers to refrain from partisan discussion of the Euro pean struggle. Officials say his name might be dropped from the inactive list, however, should It he found he made the utterances attributed to him. COTTON Needs Picking. There are thousands of bales of cot ton open in the fields of Toombs County that ought to be picker) and placed in the warehouse as quick as possible. Quicker It Is picked and stored in the warehouse the better it will be for both the debtor and the creditor.—Lyons Progress. , Back to the Farm. About 700 bales of cotton have been received at Tlfton this season. The Farmers’ Warehouse reports about 300 bales and the Farmers' Union Ware house 405, of which 152 were received this week. The Farmers’ Union Ware house reports seven or eight bales sold and tile Farmers' Warehouse fourteen. As yet there is no market. Many farmers have their cotton gin ned and carry both cotton and seed back home. —Tifton Gazette. Local Cotton Situation. Little new cotton is coming in to tha local market notwithstanding the fact that the crop is early. The far mers are slow in rushing to market and they are being enoo .ra/,cd in A™ by tb« warehouse men who itte of the opinion that It will be to the best in terests of the planters to go slow while the price is so low. Good mid dling is only bringing BV4 cents today, v/hich figure la entirely too low for the wise farmer to accept.—Columbus Ledger. Cotton la Cotton. Tha cotton market Js a little “down in the month" but cotton is cotton tot a' that. The man who has cotton in the warehouse will be able to hold his head up and talk saucily to his cred itors and the chances are he will be enabled to get an extension of time on his note or account. —Moultrto Observer. Selling Cotton. The cotton market opened up In Sa vannah this morning at 8% cents per pound, it will gradually go up, ana our advice to the farmers is to hold it. Don’t be bushwhacked by so much talk about the low prices and hard times. —Milien News. Don't Sacrifice Your Cotton. Georgia farmers would do well to hold on to their cotton Just as long as they can this season. The price of the staple Is bound to go up. Cotton sold at Liverpool this week for 13 cents and it is going higher. Do nc’. sacrifice your cotton or cotton seei. it will lie to your Interest to hold to the product.—Columbus Ledger. Cotton seed oil mills offer too low a price for seed this fall. Meal is up—Hulls are up—OH Is up and yet the mills have put the price of seed down from $24.00 a ton to $14.00 a ton. Farmers will not sell seed at this low price. It appears to one who is vitally in terested In this seed and cotton prop osition that there has been some man ipulating In the price of need and hulls that, if It dies not constitute a re straint of trade. Is so close kin to it that our new district attorney, Don aldson, should at least investigate the rise in the price of hulls and cotton seed meal and oil. The price paid at the mills at this time has gone down from $24 per ton last year to sl4 pei ton this year. Last August cotton seed meal was $26, while now It Is quoted at $29; last year hulls were $5.50 to $5 per ton, while at this time they sell for $7; cotton seed oil Is quoted today at cents or approit* mately 46 cents per gallon.—Albany Herald.

Russia and France so far have withheld their consent to have American observer* accompany their armies.
