WEDNESDAY, September 16, 1914
Buy a bale of cotton, thereby help
ing increase general prosperity and
making a good investment.
Adjutant Cole, the dispatches say,
has had a conference with Major
General Wood. We presume it was
a heated interview.
Lord Northcliff's greatest paper,
the London Daily Mail, solemnly
charges Americans to weigh most
carefully the war evidence. As Eng
land is furnishing all of it, there
seems to be no reason for the in
junction. The Charlotte Observer informs
an anxious world that a fire in that
city left the Charlotte navy yard un
harmed. This reminds us of a solu
tion of the problem of what to do
with the Charlotte navy yard. . Let
them offer it for the use of the Swiss
navy. We take it upon ourselves to
say that our government won't ob
ject. Mr. Hearst proposes a peace com
mission to be made up of Theodore
Roosevelt, William H. Taft, and
Woodrow Wilson. Before we en
dorse such a commission, we must
respectfully inquire In the name of
peace whether President Wilson will
pledge himself always to sit between
his two fellow-members at the ses
sions. A new weekly has been launched
in Atlanta called The Atlanta Sat
urday Night. That is some peach of
a name. It beats Saturday Blade,
Grit, and Sunday American all to
pieces. The name is frought with
deep and portentous meaning. Shrill
ed by newsboys it will suggest all
sorts of things murder mysteries
for instance.
Rudyard Kipling is writing a series
of magazine articles on Egypt. lie
intimates rather strongly in touching
on the religious phase that the an
cient Egyptian worship of animals
directly was nobler than the modern
worship of the bestial indirectly in
our worship of Humanity with a cap
ital H. Recent stories of atrocities in
civilized Europe do suggest the
thought that those who proudly boast
that Humanity is their God might
find something better to venerate.
England has for many years saved
Turkey from being divided up among
the powers, and it is not surprising
that the Turks should have calmed
down upon receipt of a message from
Great Britain Intimating that they
were in danger of losing their inde
pendence as a nation. It now only
remains for Ambassador A. Rustem
Bey in Washington to remember that
it is mighty near Thanksgiving,
which is considered an excellent gob-
bling-up season In respect to certain
haughty old strutters.
It has become known that local
business interests through the Cham
ber of Commerce are endeavoring to
keep the Coast Line from discon
tinuing one of the trains' between
here and Wilmington . It is to , be
boped that the road doesn't take this
step, as it would inconvenience rest
dents of PollocksVille, Jacksonville,
and other intermediate points, and
discourage them from shopping-- -n
New, Bern. A resident of these towns
with only one train a day-, to and
from New Bern might have to take
bis choice between either completing
'bisv business !a a few hours in the
morning or else arranging to stay in
' New Bern probably longer than was
.'convenient. , We understand that the
A.'"C. ti. officials when approached on
the matter - did not deny that they
-bad the discontinuance under consid
eration. They have postponed their
CdUulon, however, so let ns hope.

GERMANS HAVE GIVEN' UP LIEGE
(Coatlaned From Pace Oa.)
right wing of our western army ex
tends today to the eastern armies in
the neighborhood of Verdun.
"Until now the : Germans have
been partly successful in some parts
of the extended battlefield. A gen-
eral battle A still eontlnning.
"In' the western war theatre the
army of General Hindenbnrg is re
forming after the conclusion of his
pursuit. Rumors that Upper Silesia
is about-to -be. threatened with dan
ger are unfounded."
LONDON, Sept. 16. The Morn
ing Post's Petrograd correspondent
says: .
"The First German army, al
though stiffened by several divisions,
virtually has ceased to exist. The
Germans are retreating like a panic
stricken mob. The Russians have
crossed the lower reaches of the riv
er San, without opposition.
"With the Russians already south
of the San river, the significance of
Przemysl and the other strongholds
of the district has been heavily dis
counted. These fortresses were in
tended to cover the great triangle
between the Vistula and San rivers
and the Carpathian mountains. They
have proved useless for that pur
pose and the question is now wheth
er the demoralized armies can even
reach saftey at Cracow. Other re
fuge there is none. The situation
looks almost as bad for the eastern
for the western armies of the
Germanic allies."
ROME, Sept. 16 The Giornale
Italia publishes Petrograd dis
patch saying the attention of ; the
Russian press Is centered on the at
titude of the Italian government. In
Russian political circles, the news
paper . says, .Italy's Intervention is
considered inevitable. According to
one belieithe Italian government Is
awaiting only the resignation of For
eign Minister San Galliano, a parti
san of the Triple Alliance. ;
BERLIN, Sept. J. It was -offi
cially announced in Berlin that Gen
eral Von Hindenbnrg had telegraph
ed Emperor Willi-' that the Rus
sian army of Vllna, , apesed 'of the
Second,; Third, FouiJi and Twen
tieth army corps, two 'reserve divis
ions and five divisions of cavalry,
have been completely : defeated by

Georgia Expected to Enact
Snch a.Law How It Can
; :v; Be Done.
Many New Bern business men who
have studied the cotton ; situation
believe that the only way in which
this year's surplus crop can be dis
posed of without loss to the farmers
is by storage and by legally curtail
ing next year's crop.
Some have expressed doubt that
the crop could effectively be curtail
ed by law, but others are positive
that this can be done. One plan pro
posed is that of taxation. -;
Below is given a law as 'proposed
for the Georgia Legislature. A cOpy
of it was sent to Clerk of Superior
Court W. B. Flanner by the Georgia
Cotton Congress. It is of Interest
owing to the demand in North Caro
lina that Governor Craig call a speci
al session of the Legislature to deal
with the situations '
Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of Georgia, and
it is hereby enacted by. authority of
the same That from and after the
passage of this act, and during the
year of 1915, it shall be unlawful for
anyone to grow cotton in this state
unless he first obtain from the Ordi
nary of the county of which,, he is a
resident, a license to 'grow cotton.
The Ordinary shall receive a fee of
ten cents for each license issued, to
be paid by the applicant. The license
shall certify the number of live stock
he will use in plowing said cotton,
and his license shall permit him tc
grow three 500-lb. bales per head
of live stock actually used in culti
vating said cotton. He shall upon
harvesting his cotton make oath be
fore his ginner, who shall qualify is
a notary, as to how many 500-lb
bales per plow he actually produced,
and for each 500-lb. bale in excess of
3 to the plow he shall pay a special
license of 6 cents per pound. He
must exhibit his license to his gin-!
ner upon having any cotton ginned.'
The ginner shall record on the back!
of sail licence the date and number
of bales ginned. I
Each ginner shall obtain from the
Ordinary of his county a license for
1915 to gin cotton.- He shall provide
himself with a standard form book
to be furnished to the Ordinary by
the State Agricultural Department,
In which to keep accurate record of
cotton ginned. H1b license shall cost
him $1.00, and the form book shall
cost him $1.00. ;
Be it further enacted, That the
ginner shall collect this license vax
of 1 cents per pound, receiving for
his service 1-4 cent per pound, re
mitting the balance to the Ordinary
of his county, who shall receive 1-4
cent per pound as his compensation
and- remit the- remainder to his coun
ty treasurer for the use of that coun
ty on its schools and roads.
Be it further enacted, That any
one planting cotton in this State be
fore obtaining license and making re
port afterward to ginners as above
provided shall upon convictjon be
punished as for a misdemeanor.
Be it further enacted. That the
Attorney General and Secretary of
Agriculture of this State shall pre
pare the necessary forms and oath?
to make this law effective.
Be It further enacted. That this
law shall not become effective until
a similar law shall have been enacted
by South Carolina, North Carolina,
Florida', Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Texas. -
