is that which "rather appeals to me
and which, in the disposition of my
own crop, I have thought I should
follow, and I shall hope within the
next thirty days to dispose of possi
bly ten or twenty per cent, of the
cotton that I shall raise in this way,
and shall sell the green cotton, mak
ing room for the storage of that to
be housed later, provided later it
shall seem expedient to withhold the
balance from the market. I believe
that if this course is pursued gener
ally by the producers of cotton that
we may yet expect to receive for the
bulk of the crop of 1914 a price in
excess of 10 cents.
"Contrary to the view of many
whom I have heard express them
selves, I believe that, as greatly to be
deplored as the war is, particularly
in its relation to the people involved
and from the moral and humamtan
an standpoint, insofar as our coun
try is concerned, it will be followed by
a period of good business and im
proved industrial conditions. Cer
tainlyf however, insofar as 1915 is
concerned, within such reasonable
limitations as may seem expedient to
the individual farmer, there should
be curtailment of the cotton crop.
This should not be accomplished by
repressive legislation such as was
suggested, by a pound tax upon pro
duction; but as sentiment nas Deen
moulded among the farmers to pro
tect themselves by withholding their
cotton from the market for a reason
able price, so there should, and will,
1 believe, grow up, prompted Dy sen
protection, sentiment amone the far
mers that it is the part of wisdom.
for the next year, at least, to dimin
ish the cotton acreage and to spend
their energies in producing food
stuffs and other' articles which the
necessities of the unfortunate war
stricken countries across the sea will
force them to procure from our own
country. The necessaries of life will,
in all probability, ' command a high
price next year. This, will be suffi
cient incentive to caiise the people to
curtail cotton production and to in
crease the production of those things
that are necessary to human exist

F3JT FTETCHEITS f
OAS TORI A
Baltimore, Sept. 20. The North
German Lloyd liner Neckar docked
here today .after dodging back and
forth on the Atlantic for seven weeks.
Captain Hinsch reported that there
were few days the vessel had been
free from pursuit by a French or
English warship from the time she
left Havana, Cuba, for Bremen, Au
gust 5. All the time she steamed
alone without lights.
The Neckar sailed from Baltimore
late in July for Galveston, Texas..
She started on her return trip to
Bremen, and had put into Havana be
fore war was declared.
Captain Hinsch determined to make
a dash for Bremen. When 300 miles
off the coast of Scotland the Neckar
was discovered by a British cruiser
which started in pursuit. Captain
Hinsch swung southward, and after
a long chase threw the cruiser off the
track. While making for South Am
erica the Neckar was forced back al
most to mid-Atlantic by a British
cruiser.
Both coal and food were running,
low and Captain Hinsch started for
Baltimore. On the way up the coast
the vessel encountered several for
eign warships, but was comparative
ly untroubled, as she kept just with
in the three-mile limit.
FAMOUS CATHEDRAL
REPORTED DESTROYED,
Bordeaux, Sept. 20. The minister
of the interior, Louis J. Malvy, an
nounced today that the famous cath
edral of Rheims had been destroyed
and other historic and public build
ings either laid in ruins or seriously
damaged by German artillery. Cou
pled with this announcement was a
statement that the government had
decided to address to all the powers
a note of indignant protest against
"this act of odious vandalism."
M. Malvy said official reports re
vealed that the cathedral was in
flames today, the burning having be
gun yesterday as a result of the cease
less bombardment.
If the reported destruction of the
Cathedral of Eheims is true, it is the
greatest loss from an historical and
artistic sense of the present war
Begun on the site of an earlier church
erected by Robert De Courcy in 1212
and continued at intervals down to' the
fifteenth century, it has been des
cribed as "the most perfect exam
ple of grandeur ani grace of Gothic
style in existence."
