TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED
Official Herman advices received In Washington declare the Hermans
held their own in two days’ fighting east of Paris, capturing 50 guns and
several thousand prisoners, but retired the flank upon the advance of
strong hostile columns.
Earlier despatches from Berlin represented the Hermans, as having
lost fifty guns and several thousand prisoners.
Tile French embassy at Washington has received reports from Bor
deaux of marked advances against the Herman right wing.
These appear to be based on statements by the French ministry of
war made public last night. Today it is announced In Paris that the Ger
mans have retired in some places 10 or 50 miles.
Important news comes from Fast Prussia, where the Russians appear
in have mode little if any progress since the reverse at Allenstein. They

igsherg. There arc indications, however, that Hermans are arriving In
force and moving toward Koenig a berg.

ed on the banks of the river Alio nnd are marching In an easterly direc
tion, while the Russian advance guard Is retreating.
The A lie river flows north and east in a direction southeast from
Koenlgsberg.
Another version of the fighting east of Paris comes from the war in
formation bureau in London, which says this afternoon that the Ger
mans continue In retire. It Is said British troops captured yesterday 1,500
prisoners and several guns.
A despatch from Rotterdam says an official Herman communication
denies ihal the fortress ut Prezmsyl is surrounded by Russians or that
the Rns: lans are advancing on Cracow as represented ut Petrograd and
Hendon
Renewed activity by the Herman navy in the Baltic is indicated In
reports from Berlin and elsewhere.
Nish reports that Hervien forces have occupied Semlin, a town of
Austria Hungary, from which the Austrians began their original attack
on Honda. Servian and Montenegrin troops have effected a juncture and
began a march on Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia.
The Turkish minister of war, Enver Paslia, is reported wounded in
a revolver duel with the crown prince of Turkey. Earllqr advices were

CONSIDER COTTON SITUATION
Extra Session of General Assembly Will Convene on October
Sixth---Is Called By a Proclamation Issued By Governor.
To Pass Such Laws As May Be Necessary and Proper For
Relief of the Citizens of the State
Columbia, S. C.—An extra session I
of the general assembly, to convene at
noon October 6, is called by a proela- -
inatlon of the governor Issued last i
night "for the consideration of matters
hereinabove Htated and to pass such
laws as in their good judgment may
be necessary and proper for the relluf
of the citizens of our state."
This step is taken under authority
of article 1, section 18, constitution
of South Carolina, relating to the ex
ecutive department, which, in defin
ing the powers of the governor, says:
“He may on extraordinary occasions
convene the general assembly in extra
session.''
Text of Proclamation,
The text of the proclamation fol
lows:
"Whereas It has been made to ap
pear to me by representations of many
citizens of the state and by resolu
tions of organized bodies, represent
ing the cotton growers of this state,
that a condition has arisen within the
lust sow weeks, whereby the price of I
cotton has declined to such an extent j
that It Is impossible for this staple!
product of our state to be sold except
at a ruinous loss, and that there is no |
way whereby any arrangement, or
combination, can be made to save the
cotton growers from being absolutely
sacrificed, and many of our citizens
of tills class will become penniless and
without further means for the pay
ment of their debts, planting of their
crops and the support of their fami
lies; and further that the financial
condition of the country has become
such that at present, and in all prob
ability will continue to be such for
some time, that it Is impossible to ob
tain credit on the security of their
cotton, except at a ruinous and prohib
itive rate, if at all; that this condition
is widespread and throughout the en
tire cotton growing section of the
state; and, it being made further to
appear that It is impossible for the
working classes of our citizens to ob
tain adequate means for the support
of their families, dependent upon their
labor, and that they are unable to
borrow money on account of insuffi
cient collateral or security, unless It
be at a ruinous rate; that such con
dition of credit as exists ami lack of
confidence that there will be uny im
provement of affairs in the near fu
ture. which Is creating despair among
them, and It further appears that all
classe sot our citizens are affected by
this condition, which prevails in the
state, and posisbiy it appears through
out the whole country
"Many of the members of both
brandies of the general assembly, and
representatives of all classes of our citi
zens have urged upon me that this state
of affuirs so existing is an etxraordlnary
occasion, demanding such state govern
mental relief as can tie given by the
general assembly within the constitu
tion. and that the exercise of every leg
islative function should be brought into
notion to ufford a remedy for their dis
tress and to relieve our people, and es
pecially should the suite exercise its
powd- of horowlng money to run the
government, without demanding and ex
acting from the people taxes that have
been levied for the present year, or for
tlie next succeeding year, whreby nil of
our cltlzns. and especially our farmers
and workingmen, should be afforded
some relief.
