WHEN ARTILLERY FAILED,
FOE AIDED GERMANS IN
THE ATTACH ANTWERP
Violent Assaults Along the Scheldt Repeatedly Repulsed By
Belgians, But Enemy Changed Tactics and Crept Up During
Night-Losses Heavy As Mitrailleuses Swept Pontoon
Bridges
London, 2:15 s. m.—Concerning the
operations around Antwerp the Tele
graph correspondent under date of
Wednesday says:
"The Germans today succeeded in
forcing the passage of the River
Scheldit at a point between Schoon
aerde and Kignern. They did this
under cover of a heavy early morning
tag.
“During the last few days the Ger
mans have brought up large reinforce
ments. They are no longer depending
on the landstrum and the reserve
troops but are bringing up troops of
the first line.
"The previous attacks of the Ger
man on the river were all made under
cover of violent artillery assaults
which repeatedly proved futile. The
last of these open attacks was on
Monday evening and was defeated by
the victorious defense of the allies.
Crept Up in Night.
“After this defeat the Oermans
changed their tactics. Instead of
making an advance in force on the
Bchoonacrde position they crept up
during the night towards a river side
point further east. Here they threw
across a pontoon bridge and at six
o'clock this morning about 500 infan
trymen were seen crossing under
cover of a heavy artillery fire.
“They were observed by the Bel
gian patrols, who immediately opened
fire. The defenders, however, were in

counting for a few of the advancing

The Augusta Herald.
Commerce, Gs. —“The man who
swna a farm in Georgia and can't
make a living on It ought to give it
away to some man who can end
will. '
Firm in this belief, and knowing flora
an experience of over three-quarters of
a century that the soil of Georgia can be
depended upon to produce practioajly
everything man needs, Mr. W. J. Gober,
who lives and farms near here in Jack
eon county, is sincere in hie expression
and he has set a splendid example for
Southern farmers. Had every land-own
ing farmer in Georgia followed the prin
ciple on wheih Mr. Gober ha* farmed all
these years, there would have been no
overproduction of cotton and not even
a war involving the nations of Europe
would have threatened their living and
their well-being.

ton, but he haa money In two of the
hanks at Commerce at present, mon

menced an action all along the river
side line extending from Termonde to
Uytherden, a few miles east of Grem
bergen. They met with a vigorous
defense, in which both the artillery
and Infantry participated and at one
point they were repulsed by a bayo
net charge. Again the enemy advanc
ed, this time in augmented strength,
and succeeded in breaking through.
“During the morning the Germans
brought up several batteries of heavy
guns. It was noticeable that a Taube
aeroplane directed the German opera
tions.
On Opposite Side.
"As soon as it become known that
the Germans had crossed the river the
Belgians brought up troops to hold
them back under cover of batteries
which were shelling the enemy’s main
position on the opposite side.
“At half past 1 this afternoon a hot-
Uy contested battle was engaged along
the whole line.
“After several hours of fierce fight
ing the enemy brought up strong re
inforcements from the south. They
threw large bodies of infantry over
the pontoon bridge and. although
many were swept away by mitrail
leuses. a considerable number suc
ceeded in passing over. At the mo
ment of sending this dispatch the
battle is still In progress. Although
they have not yet got any large body
of men across the Scheldt, the Ger
mans are evidently making a deter

of approaching Antwerp from the
southwest.”

bought u bushel of corn, a bundle of
fodder, a bale of hay, nor meat nor
breed. He produces his own sup
plies and snaps ids fingers at the
pinch of a war-depressed cotton
market.
There are throughout Jackson county
many farmers whose cotton fields would
swallow up all Mr. Oober's acres from
which he wrests without difficulty an
independent living, but there are non a
who can better advise the Southern
farmer and point out the one solution
of present problems.
Progress Has Been Made.
Jackson -county farmers have as a
whole made In recent years some sub
stantial progress In the way of diversi
fied farming, but not In uny organized
movement and only individually. There
Is no doubt of a strong sentiment exist
ing now favoring a general reduction of
the cotton acreage next year and unless
before planting time there should come
a reaction, mortgages on crops with cot
ton as collateral will. It-Is said, be al
most a thing of the past here. Farmers
who have been depending on cotton and
upon banks and supply merchants for
advances upon which to make cotton,
must turn to other things, and they are
preparing, not despairingly but hope
fully and courageously, to make the
chance.
Many Farmers Sowing Oats.
More oats are being sown than ever In
one season before. The demand here for
seed oats has never been so great, I am
told, but in spite of that fact It is be
ing supplied and supplied with home
grown oats, quantities of which ore on
sale now.
Over the line in Franklin county, Mr.
T. H. Strange, who trades In Commerce,
has fifteen ueres In oats already up and
will sow fifteen more acres. He Is one
of many. The oat crop will be Increased
by at least 35 per cent.
lUC Per Cent More Wheat.
It has been known for a long time
that wheat can be successfully and pro
fitably grown In this section. Many
farmers like Mr. Oober have always
made enough for home consumption. But
beginning now the wheat crop of this
section will, from what I can learn, be
Increased 100 per cent, and wheat will
be grown for home and market.
Mostly Land-Owning Farmers.
It le estimated that something like 65
per cent of the funnel s of the South are
tenants. Whether the estimate is too
large or too small, no such condition
prevails here. In this section the ma
jority of farmers are land-owners, and
of the tenants the majority are white
man. This, It Is believed, will go a
long way to keep assured a curtailment
of the cotton soreage next year. It la
the negro tenant who 1 find everywhere
I go. Is feared whether Justly or not,
for the land owns* has in the present
crisis hie own responsibility. The ten
ant problem, it la true, exist* here
abouts to some extent, but 1 am in
formed that several farming lai.a-ownere
have already agreed to base rentals on
lees cotton, supplemented by corn and
other products
Easily Explained.
It le strikingly demonstrated here
that the larmers who diversify, who
raise their own supplies, ore the only
ones with bank accounts. •
Lends Money to Cotton Planters.
Of these there are many, and there
will be many more hereafter
Mr W. L liar her. for instance, hegan
farming near Commerce only a few
years ago His capital constated of
nothing more than hie ability and some
practical agricultural Idea* Since he
ha* been farming Mr. Baruer has found
It necesavry to buy only fertiliser, sugar
and coffee. Forging ahead of the man
who put hie dependence In cotton, raised
cotton and with cotton money bought
home auppllee. Mr. Barber ha* for eev
oral year* past been able to maintain a
good hank account and loan money to
the man who could not get away from
the idea of planting all hi* land In cot
ion.
A Progreaaiv* Farmer.
Mr O. O Bank*, formerly echoed com
mlaalorer of Bank* county and who tlvee
over the line neer here, t* the type of
progressive farmer who applies to the
business of farming the most pelnstak-
Irg and scientific methods, proceeding
oc the principle that the vocation of
farming Is worthy of the beet that 1* In
a man He keep* In close touch with
a! progressive movements for the bet
terment of agriculture, .attends the
county falre and read* the agricultural
Journals religiously,
Mr. Banks Is a four or five mule
Distinctively Individual
farmer. This year he made 800 bushels
of oats and enough corn to run his place
for the next two years. He raises only
a little cotton comparitively.
On fifteen acres Mr. Banks grew cane,
making 3,000 gallons of syrup, which, he
has put up in tin cans and which is
retailed in Commerce and other places
at 60 cents a gallon. It is impossible
for Mr, Banks to supply th* demand.
$25 From One Tree.
Another indication of what can be
done: MV. G. C. Lord has in his gar
den an English walnut tree 30 years old.
From this pne tree he sold this year *25
worth of velvet walnuts, finding a ready
market right here In Commerce.
How Dr. Hardman Farms.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, who was a can
didate for governor, is the largest in
dividual farmer of this section. Dr.
Hardman owns some 25,000 acres of
farming land. Making a scientific study
of the effects of fertilization and prac
ticing crop rotation, Dr. Hardman, it
is neddless to say, gets all out of the
land there Is in it except what he in
tentionally leaves In the soil for its con
tinued fertility. As a result his land is
all the time being built up despite the
fact that cotton and other exhaustive
crops are grown.
But Dr. Hardman does not grow cot
ton heavily, not on the lands to which
he gives his own personal attention.
On 80 acres Dr. Hardman last sea
son produced 35 bushels of wheat to
the acre without one pound of fer
tilizer, and there had been no com
mercial fertilizer In the land for
three years prior to the planting of
his wheat.
On some of his cotton lands Dr.
HaVdman raised from 40 to 60 bush
els of rice to the acre, and produced
thousands of bushels for market.
On his Nacoochee Valley place Dr.
Hardman raised a magnificent corn
crop. Hogs, cattle and turkeys
claims more of his attention than
cotton.
Jackson county farmers do not, how
ever, raise enough hogs to supply them
selves and the local market and have
before them a splendid money-making
opportunity. If proof of this statement
were needed It Is at hand.
Hog Brought $48.50.
One day last week a negro farmer
sold a hog tn Commerce, to the
meat market, for *48.50 In cash. A
500-pound bale of cotton would
bring *48.50 only at a price above
nine cents.
Not Troubled About War.
The first man in Jefferson to pay his
fertilizer note this fall was Mr. H.T. Al
len. He paid in cold cash.
“I owe one other small debt, but I
won’t owe It by night," said Mr. Allen.
"I have plenty of everything to eat —
made it at home—and haven't sold a
pound of cotton. My cotton belongs to
me. If I care to, I can hold It two
years longer. This war doesn’t trouble
me, except the killing of God's creatures
and the financial distress it causes some
of my Mends and neighbors."
Mr. W. G. Parks, of R. F. D. route No.
30, out of Commerce, raised enough Ap
pier oats to sell a hundred bushels to
his neighbors for seed.
Mr. C. L. Bennett, of Jefferson, Ga„
believes that permanent relief can come
to the South only through the raising of
livestock. Himself a livestock grower
Mr. Bennett is willing to help all he
can ,and has a few young mares which
he Is willing to sell at reasonable prices,
taking cotton In payment at 10 cents a
pound.
The Four-County Fair.
Business depression will tn no wise
effect the Commerce Four-County Fair
which will be held, for the third time,
from October 26th to 31st, inclusive. The
counties of Jackson, Banks, Franklin
and Madison are embraced In this ag
ricultural and livestock show. The of

In addition *1,400 will be distributed In
Individual cash premiums.
IJvestock raising, hogs, sheep, cattle,

particularly stressed at the Four-County
Fair this fall.
The Cotton Movement.
Commerce handles on an average of
18 000 bales of cotton a year. Last year
a title move than 23,000 bales were
bought from wagons here. Last sea
son's receipts to date were 1956 hales.
