Thousands More Refu gees Arrive. Vienna. (1:45 p. m., via Parle, 2:10 a. m.) —The Vienna papers continue to maintain silence regarding the fighting In Galicia and H«**vla. They seem, how ever, in draw encouragement from Gen eral !lank h order of the day, which, after praising his valorous troops, ad mits tHey have been forced to abandon the offensive and face overwhelming numbers. The newspapers -tve appealing daily for more doctors -md surgical supplies. The Increase In the number of cases of dysentery Is causing apprehension. All Available Ones. All at.J able public buildings are being converted into hospitals for treatment of wounded. Several thousand additional refugees have arrived in Vienna. Commercial depression Is rapidly In creasing and many industries are threat ened with ruin. The government is re- : sorting to extreme measures to prevent ■ wholesale bankruptcy. A decree has been published providing for official su psrsion and guardianship over lnsoh concerns. Several Industries already have been forced to appeal to the government for special aid. The textile, and clothing branches are among the chief sufferers. An Appeal to American Women Ida M. Tar bell write* very strongly In tho Woman's Home Companion of the duty of the American woman to patronise American ware* and fabrics and In this way aid the American manufacturers of all kinds In making It profitable to turn out the same grade of goods and the same beauti ful designs In all things that prove so captivating to A mertcans who buy abroad. Miss Tarbell says'. The awful struggle to which the continent of Burope has committed It self, be It short or long, opens to American women opportunity for a patriotic service of unique and Ines timable value. It 1* a service the more binding because It Is a long Ignored duty. What In this crisis Is the highest obligation of these United Stales of America neutrality aside? It Is to see that no man Is Idle, no wheel stops. Whatever the uncertainties, patriotism demand* that our factories and mine* and mills be kept open and busy. We owe It to the world that when this mad and barbaric enterprise Is over there shnll be one great, country, among those who boast themselves aa civilised, carrying on the pursuits of peace. Whatever the war has stripped from u* that we must learn to supply; whntever Industry It has rherked or stopped, we must set In motion. It Is for us not only to care fully for our selves but to aid those smaller neutral nation* of the world whose activities, like ours, have been dealt a stagger ing blow. The crisis has brought us face tQ face with what we have not—ships for instance- with wlmt we can not do for ourselves. What woman is there among ns who loves to enrolling* taste and elegance that ha* not been forced to realize how dependent she is today for what she want*, not on her own country hut on Europe? Would that with thl* realisation there could go the reflection that this Is so be cause she lias never gtven her country Intelligent, continuous support In Its effort to produce the thing* she de mands What 1* the lahel on which we American women prid* ourselve*?

Would they do other wltse If they could? It has been my business to go much In the last few- years among American manufacturers. One of the things which has impressed me deepest has been the men who wanted to make good things; who apologized for cheap wares. I remember a Massachusetts woolen manufacturer showing me three dif ferent pieces of exquisitely woven stuffs. They were oases In cords of Cotton worsteds. "I make these." he told me, "for the pleasure of making a good thing. Bradford can do nothing better; but there Isn't an American woman alive who wouldn't prefer to say that Brad ford made the cloth In her suit, rath er than Massachusetts'" I have had spread before me as beautiful designs for summer cottons a* were ever made, and heard tho manufacturer say, with longing In his voice. "If we could hut put these Into fine, soft fabrics! hut the American woman w ill not buy expensive domestic goods She demands the foreign mark" As pliable, durable and beautifully finished silks as there are In the world can be made here In quantities. But where is the American woman who boasts that she wears American silks? The day has corns for the American woman to wake up to her duty to the Industries of this country.

The world has »een in these days wonderful outbursts of patriotism.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. AT STATESBORO PLEDGE IS TAKEN ID BULLOCH FARMERS NOW PLAN TO CUT COTTDN ACREAGE 111 1915 Bulloch County Made Up Mostly of Small Land-Owning Farm ers Who Are inßetterPositionto Hold Than Are Extensive Planters---Enough Corn and Almost Enough Meat Raised to Supply the County and Will be Produced for Market Next Year---Buy-a-Bale Movement Takes Metter by Storm and is Spreading in Statesboro---Farmers and Business Men Held Mass Meeting. WALTER E. DUNCAN, Staff Correspondent, The Augusta Herald. Statesboro, Ga.—" Hold your cotton until It is worth something, then pay us.” This is substantially what the bankers and the merchants of States boro are telling the farmers of Bul loch County. In Statesboro and this section there Is an undercurrent of confidence among both farmers and business men that the present situation, aJ ready steadil. Improving, will clear U P before long, even though the Euro pean war should continue Indefinite ly. But though the people have re mained calm—which, considering the fact that Bulloch produces a 40,000 bale crop of cotton In which the money of the county is tied up, and for which in the present market price there is not coßt of production, is an achievement—no attempt has been made to discount the seriousness of the situation. To the contrary, the necessity of the farmer revolutionizing his methods of farming has been driven home. At a rousing mass meeting held a. few dayj ago in Statesboro pledges were taken to reduce the ootton acreage next year to one-third and to give more attention to producing foodstuffs and feedstuffs, resolutions en dorsing the “Buy-a-Bale” move ment and every other agency that is working toward relief of the situation were adopted, and it was resolved to Join in the request that the governors of the Southern states call extra sessions of the several general assemblies to take Immediate action legally restrict ing the cotton acreage In 1916. County of Land-Owning Farmers. It Is a striking fact that at States boro, the business center of one of the largest cotton-producing counties of the State—l believe that Bulloch with her 40,000 bale production ranks fifth or sixth—most of the cotton that haa so far been thrown upon the market has been sold, not by the small farmer, but by the extensive planter who had his tenant farmers with whom to settle. The small farmer has not been, as a rule, compelled to sell for the reason that Bulloch is a county of land-owning small farmers who have splendid credit. Not only are they, for that reason, able to hold their cotton indefinitely, but they have the advantage of the big farmer in the gathering of their crops because they are ac customed to working their own fields and are getting the staple out for themselves, while there has been a great deal of difficulty experienced by the larger farm ers in getting pickers this year. Good Demand, Few Sales. But neither big farmers nor little farmers are selling In volume sufficient to amount to anything, and it is a fact that a market price above 8 cents appears to attract them less than did a 7-cent market. Up to last Saturday exactly 296 bales had been sold at Statesboro, In the open mar ket, and the majority of this cotton was sold early after the collapse of the market. The total sales at States boro so far this season amounts to less than ’hose of one average day In normal years, when about 300 bales are generality handled. Buy No Western Corn. No Western corn will be shipped Into Bulloch County this year. The farmers have raised enough to supply their own needs. More hog meat has been produced at home than In for mer years, and more will be raised next year Nearly Enough Meat. Mr. Brooks Simmons, at the hend of the Brooks Simmons De partment Store, told me that last season he did not find It neces sary to buy a pound of shipped bacon until last .Tune; that until that time he could buy from Bul loch farmers all the home-grown meat needed to supply his big trade. Thl* Is shown to be the more sig nificant when It is stated that Just a few years ago very little attention was given here to raising hogs and that not so long ago hogs brought to Statesboro through the counrty from north Georgia were sold on foot at 10 centß a pound, as I am reliably In formed. the farmers buying readily at this price. There win be no scarcity of home grown meat in Bullo#i this year, not only for home consumption but for the market. Some Hog and Hominy Farmers. it Is nothing unusual for Mr. W. W. Brannen, hog and hominy farmer, to haul Into Statesboro during the winter from 1.600 to 2.000 pounds of hams and sides at a load, sell his meat at wholesale and Increase his bank account from SIOO to sl60 —not once, but week after week. And what Mr. Brannen does In this respect, so do hog and hominy farmers like Messrs. Reamer Alderman and Stephen Alderman, of Rural Route No. 2. and Mr. Carter Smith, their neighbor, and Mr. John W. Smith, Mr. D. E. Byrd, Mr. J. U Ca rulhers and others. If Mr. F. D. OUiff raises many po tatoes. like the one I saw from hta prise patch In the office of the Rulloch Times, he could sell them by the yard rather than by the bushel. This on* specimen measured exactly 27 inches In length. With plenty and to spare of com to grind up Into meal after leaving enough to feed their stock. with bulging smokehouses, Bulloch farmers will also have plenty of yams to fall back on If they must hold long for upwards of 10 cent* for their cotton, for down her* the potato crop 1* said to be one of the best in years. Cotton buyers offering B*4 and cents Thursday found few farmer* willing to consider selling A week previous T cents was the best offered, and there was then practically no de mand Bulloch farmers know they are not compelled to sell and they are not selling. No Retrenchment of Business. If the situation thrust upon the South has done nothing else, it has changed cotton from simply a com modity to a security. It Is a good asset. While It is doing so at an in convenience, the South is demonstrat ing that it can do business, tempo rarily at least, without money, sub stituting cotton and at the same time holding its cotton on which the United States depends for the main talnence of the balance of trade in favor of this country. In Statesboro there is no retrench ment of business, and though because the farmers are holding their cotton off an unfavorable market, in which they have the backing of the business houses and the banks, there is not the volume of business usual at this sea son of the year, everybody is sitting steady, nobody is rocking the boat, and all eyes are turned confidently toward the future. The “Buy-a-Bale" movement reach ed this section sometime ago, and though there has been no concerted action, several individuals have bought their bales and retired them from the market. Upon my arrival the first thing that attracted my at tention was a bale of cotton on the sidewalk of tho store of J. W. Wil liams & Son. Mr. Williams presided at the farmers and merchants meet ing held here last Saturday, and lie has shown his public spirit in the pur chase of his bale. Another bale was displayed at the grocery store of Mr. J. B. Burns, and others have bought and stored their bales at their homes or in the warehouses. Metter People Buy Their Bales. At Metter, in this county, more than 600 bales have changed hands on a 10 cents basis, the "Buy-a-Bale" movement having been Inaugurated with notable success. The farmers around Metter. a thriving town and a good cotton market in normal times are holding their surplus cotton, every bale that they are not abso lutely compelled to sell to secure money with which to get otit the remainder of their crops. Almost to a man the business peo ple, the merchants and bankers of Statesboro, have Joined hands with the farmers in a splendid spirit of co operation, and are not only telling them to “keep your cotton until it is worth something, then pay us," but are doing all in their power to assist them to hold, to help them sit tight now that the market is advancing with the increasing demand because of the holding movement throughout the South. The Sea Island Bank, of which Mr. John F. Brannen is president and Mr. R .F. Donaldson is cashier, has all along been making nominal advances on cotton; and together with the other banks, the First National, which has applied for its full quota of emer gency currency—amounting to about $90,000 —and the Bank of Statesboro the largest financial institution in tho county, is willingly granting exten sions on cotton warehause receipts. Aldred & Collins have all along been accepting cotton at 10 cents when applied on account, and other enter prising merchants, among them Mr John Wilcox and the Blitch-Temple Company, offer premiums over and above the market price. Big concerns like the R. Simmons Mercantile Com pany and the Brooks Simmons Com pany have arranged to hold cotton for their farmer customers and continue their credit. Mr. R. Simmons, himself a big planter, is advising the farmers to ■ell a little of their cotton now that the market has advanced rather than sacrifice any more cottonseed in order to gather the remainder of thn crop. Acreage Must Be Cut. At the mass meeting held here a few days ago stirring talks were made by Messrs. R. Simmons. J. E. McCroan J. W. Williams. J. w. Wilson a m’ Deal. H. I. Waters and others. The farmers were urged to stand shoulder to shoulder in what was called the most serious crisis since the Civil War because the Southern farmer is now facing a situation from which he must ultimately profit through the lesson dearly learned, or nothing that will ever happen in future will set him on the high road to presperity It was the concensus of opinion that no permanent relief could he offered in the marketing of the present crop until there are as surances that next year there will be a wholesale reduction of acre age. As a practical means of temporary relief the "Buy-a-Bale" movement was endorsed, and it was recommended that the oot ton growers and Southern mer chants ask the co-operation of business concerns in the north, east and west In the movement* Colonel Deal, who offered a res olution which was adopted, point ed out that the mule raisers of Missouri should feel keenly ths interests of the farmers of Geor gia. where they find a profitable and a dependable market, and that the "Buy-a-Bale" movement would be a most effective way for these people to help. Bulloch Fair Next Month. Pledged to one-third of a normal •rop next year. Bulloch farmers are even now planning for the departure from former methods, and to lend en couragement to the Idea of diversified farming, of growing grain* and grass**, raising food products and particularly more livestock, the Bul lock County Fair Is to be held this year, as usual, beginning October 20th. only It Is assured that the fair will this year have a more direct ap peal to the farmers than ever before. Mr. J. R. Miller, editor of The States bor News. Is the promoter of tha Rulloch County Fair. He Is going ahead with the preparations Just as though this was the most prosperous year In the history of Southern farm ing rather than what It promise* to ; be—the turning point toward the most prosperous era In Southern Distinctively Individual THETURKI6H BLEND I farming and the beginning of the Southern farmer to come into his own. Go out from Statesboro on -any country road and you will see at every farm house you pass cotton piled up in thi| yard. Wagons hauling balq after bale back from town you willl meet on the roads. It is the same throughout the county. There’s no mistaking the determination of the farmers to hold, hold, hold, and there is no doubt of his determination to next year plant less cotton than ever before and more of everything else. He sees now the wisdom of the teach ing and the preaching he has heard for so many years. It has been brought home to him. Beginning next year he will profit by putting it into practice on his own farm —and besides producing most of his own supplies he will get more for a few hales of cotton than many more hales will bring now. Substantial Improvements. The work of remodelling the Bul loch County court house, representing an expenditure of approximately $17,- 000, has practically been completed. Several rooms, which were badly needed, have been added, and tho general appearance of the handsome building has been very materially im proved. Statesboro has just invested be tween $40,000 and $45,000 in the in stallation of a sewerage system, which will be put into use beginning this week. There are but a few of the substan tial and modern improvements being made in this section and which indi cate the progressivieness of the peo ple and the material advancement of county and city.
