Commerce on the high seas is
gradually assuming normal pro
portions. It is said that merchan
dise is now moving to all parts
of the world except to Germany
and Austria and some contiguous
ports. Recently 5,382 bales of
cotton were shipped from Galves
ton, Texas, to Barcelona, Spain.
The resumption of shipping, in
terrupted at the outbreak of the
war, marks a distinct advance to
normal conditions. While ship
ments of cotton to foreign count-
I ries will help the cotton situation
Ito some extent, the relief cannot
be realized to the full so long as
the countries actually at war are
not in condition to buy and con
sume the full amount of cotton
| they heretofore used; and they
will not be able to do so so long
as the war continues and pro
bably for some time after its
close.

lawsuit Has Seven
Hundred Defendants.
Greensboro, Sept. 10. A case
with 70(i defendants is unusual,
if not unprecedented in the
courts of this part of the country.
That was the business that Dis
trict Attonery W. Hammer
and on hand in the federal court
yesterday, in connection with
which A. E. Holton, of W inston-
Salem, and George Wright and
Haywood Porter, of Ashevillf,
met him here.
It is what is known as the
"Yancey boundary case, being a
suit of the United States agaist S.
Montgomery Smith and others,
over SUHM) acres of mountain
land, lying mostly in Yancey
county. The government has in
stituted condemnation proceed
ings in order to clear the title to
the land, which it wishes to add
to the forest reserve.
The purchase agreement was
made with S. Montgomery Smith,
of New York, but there are some
150 tracts, the title to which is
disputed, and it was in order to
clear these that the proceedings
were instituted. There is no
fight on the transfer of the lands
to the government, but merely a
dispute as to who has the best
title.
The purchases under the
Weeks law in North Carolina
have all been made so far without
a jar. Owners, especially farm
ers, of the western counties are in
hearty accord with the purpose
of the law. and the condemnation
has been resorts 1 to in a nu nbtr
of cases i: hns hvaiiably bt n
used merely as a means of cle? r
ing a clouded title. The I; n 1
designated for purchase has 11-
