EIGHT We will buy a pound of Cotton for every pound of Tobacco we sell We realize, with all the residents of the South, the present financial stringency due to the cotton situation. We realize that the South must sell its cotton, and we will help in the most practical way we know—by buying cotton. For every pound purchased of all of these famous, popular brands of tobacco and cigarettes (counting 1,000 cigarettes equal to five pounds of tobacco) we will buy from our dealers a pound of cotton at 10c, in accordance with our circular to dealers dated Sept. 28. We have faith in cotton. We know that when the war clouds roll away, the demand of the manufacturers for cotton throughout the world will be greater than ever before, and the South will enjoy unpre cedented prosperity.

First Extraordinary Session in Thirty Two Years. Columbia, S. C. —The South Caro lina general assembly has been called by Gov. Cole D. Blease to meet here Tuesday, for the purpose of enacting legislation looking to the relief of the cototn situation brought on by the European war, to transact “such other business as they may deem wise.” A special committee, appointed by the South Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Congress, will recom mend a program of legislation. Among the plans, which it is said, will be laid before the state legislature will be the establishment of a state warehouse system, postponement of the collec tion of taxes, and enactment of a law forbidding the cultivation of cotton on more than a prescribed acreage, or the enacting of a graduated occupa tion tax, designed to curtail produc tion. Several of securing reduc tion are advanced, hut the one most discussed is that of limiting the num ber of bales allowed to each work animal or plow*. The numbers sug gested range from five to eight bales per animal. The session to assemble Tuesday will be the first extraordinary session of the South Carolina general assem bly In thirty-two years and will be the eighteenth extra session since South Carolina has been a state.

To The Herald. I have taken the clipping below from the St. Louis Republic and am send ing It to you believing that it will be of great interest Just at this time: A few days ago the czar of Russia appealed to his "dearly beloved Jews" to bear arms, telling them that he adored them, revered them, simply couldn't sleep nights for thinking about their happiness, and If shot up and killed for him he would be so much obliged that he would guarantee them religious freedom and equal rights. Of course, the world smiled. Now comes an Austrian proclama tion to the Jews In Poland, offering '•Justice, freedom and equal rights as citizens" to all who will Join the In vading armies of Germany and Aus tria-Hungary. “Beware of the czar; he 1s spoofing!" the proclamation says In effect, and adds: "Remember what he handed you at Klshlner, Gomel. Blalystok and Sedlee." Isn't all this crude? The Virginia back-country politician, who goes around kissing the babies and prom ising more Jobs, bridges, roads, tax reductions and free schoola than there are In all the rest of the world, must smile with recognition when he reads the respective promises of the two great countries that so need the Jews. Whether It'a bullets or rotes, the meth od of getting them out seems to be about the same. The truth la. of course, that neither Russia nor Austria has the slightest Intention of wholly keeping any such extravagant promise to the Jews. When peace comes and the enlisting Jew tries to collect, he’ll find him self In the presence of Marble Heart. J_M. C. Hew To Give Quinine To Children.
