At the meeting of Concord Presbytery at Kannapolis this week, Mr. Bonner Knox, f ormely of Stetesville, now of Hickory, was received under the care of the Presbytery as a candidate for the ministry. Statesvil e has joined the buy -a bale plan to help the cotton mar ket, the movement now so popu lar throughout the country, and which was endorsed at the cotton meeting Tuesday, (A canvass ofStatesvilleThurs day resulted in pledges to buy 66 bales.) Mr. F. T. Meachan said the farmers must solve the problem for themselves and not depend on the State and National move ments. Indi?iduals will have to solve it. We need not be unduly alarmed. Our situation isn't so bad, Mr. Meacham urged that debts be arranged for, so that creditors should not be embar rassed. He would not advise selling under 10 cents unless it is to pay a debt that could not be satisfactorily arranged other wise, Mr. Meacham also advis ed farmers to hold cotton in the seed. He said the cotton keeps better in the sted and makes a better turnout when ginned. Moreover, if the cotton the far mers hold is held the ginners report will show less cotton gin ned and thus help the price. Gin ning all the cotton and then stor ing it will boost the ginners' re port and depreciate the price.

Peace Must Be Guaranteed to Last, Germany Tells Wilson, Washington, Sept. 17, Ger many has suggested informally that the United States should undertake to elicit from Great Britain, France and Russia, a statement of terms under which the Allies would make peace. The suggestion was made by the Imperial Chancellor, von Bethmann-Hollweg to Ambas sador Gerard at Berlin as a re sult of an inquiry sent by the American Government to learn whether Emperor (Villiam desir ed to discuss peace, as Count von Bernstoff, the German Am bassador, and Oscar Straus had recently reported. Lmperor William himself made no reply nor did the Im perial Chancellor indicate wheth er he spoke on behalf of his monarch,. Ambassador Gerard cabled President Wilson the Chancellor's remarks from re collections, which substantially were as follows: "Germany appreciates the American Governments interest and offer of services in trying to make peace. Germany had war forced on her. Even if she de feats France, she must vanquish Great Britain and Russia also as all three have agreed not to make peae except bv 'common consent. England has announ ced that she intended to fight to to the limit of her endurance. In view of that determination the United States ought to get peace proposals from the Allies. Germany could accept only a lasting peace, one that would make her peoole secure against future attacks, To accept me diation now would be interpret ed by the Allies as a sign of weakness and also would be misunderstood by the German people, who, having made great sacrifices, have a right to de mand guarantees of security." MIGHT BE OPENED Ambassador Gerard added to this only the brief comment, that he himself, thought the way might possibly be opened to mediation. President Wilson, however, d d not , regard the message as bringing anything tangible. He referred to the Chancellor's conversation as non-committal. The President took no action as a result of the message, waiting to hear from Ambassador Gerard whether anything of a formal character could be obtained. Germany's position is that she will giye her opinion on peace terms when she has received a definite statement from the Al lies of their proposals. The statement that Germany had war forced on her as well as the declaration that she wanted a lasting peace is almost identical with remarks Sir Edward Grey made to Ambassador Page in London ' last week regarding England's position. The general belief tonight was that the President, after waiting a few days for more information from Berlin, probably would in struct the American Ambassa dors at London, Paris and Pe-, trograd to communicate what the Imperial German Chancel lor had said to Ambassador Ge rard. It was believed the Am bassadors would be asked to reiterate the wish of the Ameri can Government to be of service in bringing about peace. Diplomatists were disposed to believe that through such infor mal convesations something de finite might be obtained as a working basis. If a oncord of opinion for discussion of peace terms was reached, President Wilson then would endeavor to abtain an acceptance by all bel ligerents of the original tender of ffood offices. This would not mean a cessation of hostilities unless the mediating power spec ifically made it a , condition of mediation and all belligerents agreed to it. An armistice would serve merely as a truce while peace was discussed. Various reports were current today that Germany had named several conditions under which she would make peace; that she bad refused proposals to alter the territorial status of her Em pire and possessions and would cede no territory or dismember her fleet, but it was said authori- Last txcurcion of the Season to Washington, Thursday, September 24th, 1914. !

DeButts, D. P. A., Charlotte, N. C, "Pigs is Pigs " The department of agriculture could not haye hit upon a happier time to launch the pig club move ment in Guilford county. With the war raging in Europe this country has a practical demon station of the fact that whereas cotton and tobacco are luxuries in a sense, that' the world can dispense' with them for a time, "pigs is pigs." Wars may come and dethrone King Cotton at any moment. Financial stringen cy may lay, waste the dukedom of tobacco, as it is laid waste to: day. But the bourgeous of razor back fears no calamity. He is wecome in marts where the no bility fears to tread. War can mean nothing to pork exdept a probable boost in price But a big means more to the far mer than simply money in his pocket, It means that he need not go to the trouble of hauling his corn to market, when he can make it more valuable at home by transforming it into meat. In fact, swine mean that Aie farmer must have more corri.and to have more corn he will have to aban don some of the more dangerous ventures, such as cotton and to bacco; and the man who goes into liye stock raising intelligently will have a better farm upon which to grow any crop. Probably the average south ern farmer will always make his living out of cotton. But even at that pigs to most of them will represent the difference between a bare living and a comfortable profit, Greensboro News, tatiyely that nothing of this char acter was contained in any of the messages from Berlin to the An Unpaid Debt to Germany. A story of the war told with great elee in the streets of Lon don is being repeated by return ing American tourists, Germany found a lively market for muni - tions of war early in the first part of the year among the mili tant Irish outside of Ulster who were moved to arm themselves as a result of the threats of arm ed opposition to Home Rule in the North. The German's hope was that not only would England have dire trouble with their Irish citizens in any event but that in a general European war the pug nacious Irishman would keep England's forces fully occupied at home. Therefore what great er service to the Fatherland than to arm these Irish with German guns? Accordingly 250,000 Ger man rifles were shipped into Southern Ireland with large stores of ammunition. To the consternation of the Germans the Irish forgot their home troubles to bear their part apain8t Britian's common enemy And the Irish volunteers of North and South wLo have sworn to guard their shores against German aggression have ample supplies of German guns and cartridges to repel any possible invader. And the irony of it all is that the bin or me merman manufacturers has never been paid and probably never will, rWall Street Journal, No Eight-Cent Cotton. From the information The Ob server is picking up here and there, the commericial cotton that can be bought in the South just now for eierht cents a pound would not be sufficient to make a wad for the ear-ache. JN either from home brokers nor from the Texas or Georgia markets can cotton be bougnt tor less than 9 1-2 or 9 3-4, atd thfci goes to show that the holding move ment is getting in its work. It further shows the determination of the farmer not to sacrifice the crop and their ability to bring about results. The cotton mills have no offerings at eight cents and it is said that the mill men are finding some trouble in get ting supplies at higher figures. This would seem to be another wind that it is showing rift in the clouds. CharolotteObseryer HERE'S PROOF. Newton Citizen Tel s of His Experience.

One is hardly propared to be lieve that reports of a food short age in Germany and so early in the game, yet it appears that a scarcity of rations is ham pering the efficiency of the troops A medical examination of many wounded whose injuries were not considered efficient enough to produce deith showed that they had eaten raw sugar beets with the eagerness of famished men and that the soil adhering to the roots had poisoned them. It is said that all the cattle having baen requisitioned for the army the people are deprived of a meat supply altogether, and all the eges, milk and butter are re- 'served for the hospitals.
