REV. ASHBY JONES I TALKS OF EUTTON WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT THE SOUTH IF IT GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD (FOR ITS COTTON) AND LOSE ITS OWN SOtLJL. > Manufacturers' Record. "Cotton at the cost of character is too large a price to pay" "is the closing sentence of a sermon by Rev. Dr. "M. Ashby Jones of A-agusta, Ga., which should be read by every man ^'in the South. Discussing 'the relative value of a man and property, "where Christinaity always raises the !issue of values and insists as its fundamental teaching that a man is .worth more than property, Dr. Jones turned his discussion to the "situation 'existing in the South today and the r . influence of cotton upon the life and ' character of this section, and said: To translate this teaching into terms of our present pressing: problem, we must ask, How much, then, is a man of more value than a bale <rf ^Otton? Issttantly religion becomes 'concrete, for cotton is the most forceful influence in lorming our cciwumiv theories, people. Wlwtt a part it has played in our history! It made us a slave-holding people ^nd determined for a century our social customs and standards. It absoiih*}ly denominates our industrial aati commercial prosperity. It has been the most forceful influence in forming our economic theories, and has offten dictated our political j creeds. According to its price -we are libersfi or parsimonious, morose or cheerftfl. In playful eulogy of 5ts immense value we have called eotton King, but in all seriousness we should a3k ^ourselves the question if it does not actually rule in well-nigh every realm of our life. Now, as *we approach another harvest, the prioe of cotton stands like a mighty -menace, threatening the intellectual and moral integrity of our people. 'Great wofld questions which challenge the cleanest and clearest thinking and call for the highest and holiest moral convictions front the f characters of men, and already it is distinctly suggested that our attitude on these questions shall be determined by the price of qotton. We must answer, whether we shall merge our characters into cotton and auction them,in the markets of the world. I look back to last autumn with shame and humiliation. It is a picture of the -South hawking her impotence upon every avenue of commerce, advertising her weakness, and like blind beggars pleading their poverty with the plaint, "Buy a bale." lest we starve. . Was this the South which rose phoenix-like from the ashes of the Civil War with a resilient resourcefulness which astonished the world and rebuilt this miracle of a new South? Have we forgotten all our principles of democracy, with its familiar protests against paternalism, that we so quickly creep to the national treasury crying for charity? Is cotton of so great a k value that for it we will sacrifice our manhood, our independence and our moral poise? I am profoundly convinced that the price of cotton is a fundamental moral question, and by J it God is testing the souls of our peo; pie. This year the issue is_still more acute and significant. England has declared a "long-distance blockade" of cotton. In this blockade she threatens no property, and holds sacred and inviolable the lives of those who sail the seas, no matter what may be their nationality. It is a debatable question whether, under international law, she has the right. But let us grant that she is wrong, as I believe she is?what is the result? She helps to lower the price of cotton. In retaliation Germany announced her submarine blockade, threatening not simply the property, but the life of.every American who dared to travel the ocean highway. In carrying out that threat she has deliberately murdered men, women and children. When our Government protested, she not only refuses to repudiate this inhuman act of her v* V-v 11+ ft a rm /) im\y y uui juaunca iuc muiuci, emu refuses to reverse her barbarous policy. A Savannah dispatch to a New York paper a few days ago says: "The South is far more interested in the English blockade of her cotton than she is in the controversy over the German submarine warfare." I believe this to be 'a slander upon my people. Has the price of cotton so paralyzed our moral sensibilities and destroyed our moral perspective that we believe a cotton bale to be more valuable than a babe?that a commercial advantage is more important than the maintenance of human rights? It is not only our right, but our duty, at the proper tfrne, and in the proper manner, to take up the question with England of her cotton blockade and to insist upon whatever are our commercial rights? But at this supreme moment, when our Government is striving to maintain the standard of civilization and preserve the sacred rights of ? unarmed men and helpless women and children, for politicians, newspapers and trades bodies to seek to deflect attention to the price of cotton is to reverse all the moral judgments of our Christian civilization and to raise again the question, "now mucn, men, is a man of more value than a sheep?" The cry is going up that the South is being made to suffer for a fight which is none of hers. But we had better clearly understand that this fight is ours, and upon its issue our destiny is deeply involved with the rest of the world. Let us face now rather than be bitterly taught in the future what a German victory will mean. We can only judge what y German triumph will mean by understanding what German warfare is. I SMITH SPEAKS TO | (MANY IMPORTERS ;i RECOMMENDS THAT GREAT BRITAIN BE TOLD TO REVOKE : THE BLOCKADE ORDER OR LOSE OUR TRADENew York, August 11-?After lisreninjr to a speech by Senator Hoke i Smith, of Georgia, more than 300 [New York importers today adopted a petition to President Wilson urging i prompt and strenuous action to rej lreve American importers <of ceondiftions caused by Great Britain's rei fusal to allow German and Austrian ; products to be shipped from 'neutral i portts to the United States. Senator Smith declared the British i bloclJade was one of the most flag:j rant and inexcusable violations of I neutral rights in naval history. _ "I have determined the only Hiking to da," said Senator Smith, "? to tell Great Britain to revoke blockade order; or "she'can have ~1HJ neutrai) trade with us. Seizures Not Unlawful. "Tht excuse that Great Britain seized vessels carrying goods produced iua Germany or Austria or of goods intended for Germany or Austria, but consigned to a nteutral port, as a retaliatory measure against Germany does not make the seizure lawful. "There iis no justification for the second contention that the British were justified in their action because the United States had violated Great Britain's rights during the Civil War. The United States never committed an act, nor did our courts ever write !a line, that justified the British acjtion." Senator Smith declared that durling the Russo-Japanese war Great 1 Britain the ritrht of India to ship cotton to Japan. He further declared that the British first placed cotton on the list of articles that were not to be classed as contraband.. Civil War Decision* Cited. As a contention that rulings by the United States supreme court on international law did not justify Great Britain in establishing the blockade, 1 Senator Smith discussed the Bermuj da and Peterof, or Matamoros, cases, | which arose during the Civil War. In j the latter case he notes the ruling of the court which held that although the Peterof sailed from England for ^atamoros, Mexico, with contraband, t conditional contraband and non-contraband goods, all intended jfor shipment to Texas during the | war, only the actual contraband ! could be seized, as a blockade could I not extend to a neutral port. A committee representing various ; importers' associations was appointi ed to draw up a petition,, to be voted on later, asking President Wilson to can a special session 01 congress to discuss ways and means of relieving these importers. 1 'y, Chicago Manufacturers Act. Chicago, August 11.?The Illinois Manufacturers' Assciation today addressed a letter to Secretary of state Lansing asking that interference with American trade with neutral countries in non-contraband articles be stopped. The Association commends the policy of President Wilson regarding interference with trade by belligerents. It was declared the communication was the start of a movement that will be joined in by commercial organizations all over the country. The letter, it was announced, represents the views of the manufacturers of the middle West. Furriers Ask for Relief. New York, August 11.?The Raw Fur Merchants' Association and the Fur Merchants' Association today approved a petition addressed to I t* : j i Tir:i 11: xj j.: rresiuenv wusun camng aiienuua lo the demoralization ir* the trade by the British blockade and contraband orders, and asking that steps be ?aken for relief. The time has come when the facts so clearly stated by Dr. Jones must be studied by' the people of the wohle South. The South is in danger of worshiping cotton instead of worshiping the Almighty; we are in danger of sacrificing honor, integrity of character and all that makes for human advancement for the price of a bale of cotton. Around the neck of the South hangs like a curse a bale of cotton. I We have idealized cotton; we have thought in terms of cotton; we have j worshiped cotton, until some of us i have backbones made of cotton j strings and brains of cotton bolls, I the one as weak as the other is flabi by. Cotton, which, rightly handled, j would prove to be one of the ' great! est blessings that the Almighty ever gave to any cyountry on earth, has j many times in the past proven a j curse to us. It was cotton that fixled-the chains of slavery around the i South, and it is cotton today that ' enslaves the thought and the heart of many ot tiie people 01 tne soutn. j Cotton as king is a diabolical ruler, ; whereas cotton as a subject, held in ! check, would prove one of Heaven's richest blessings. | Let not the South lose its soul in i exchange for a bale of cotton. In line with the statements made : by Dr. Jones is an editorial in the Savannah Press, in which, referring to this cotton agitation, it makes against those guilty of it a fearful arraignment expressed in the sentence: "It places this section in the posi; tion of blindness to the moral difference between human blood and the price of cotton." This is a charge against these agitators, by one of the leading dailj papers of the South, withering in its ; expression of their inability to measure the moral difference betweer human blood and the price of cotton The Death House One Who Has Been There Tells of the Last Moments of the Condemned. ' Lieutenant Charles Becker, formerly of the New York police force, was electrocuted early Friday morning in the death chamber at Sing Sing prison. Roland B. Molineaux was tried for murder, convicted and spent several months in the death house, an occupant of one of the little cell? where Becker spent his final hours of life. Molineaux wrote of his experiences there in a book, 'The Room With the Little Door," published by Dillingham. He gives this description of a man's last day ami night; the few remaining hours before the little door opens to admit him to tiie execution chamber. There are unwritten laws and canons for all important occurrences in > the death chamber . I do not mean I the prison rules; but the way "we:l have of doing things. For instance, the new arrival, after he has passed . through all formalities at the officials' hands, and they are many, is initiated T>y "us" on the first night < fMMMod in-eor society. . This is.an ancient and honorable custom, and like all initiations, a secret. These fixed ceremonies occur all through his long and brutal life in the death chamber. Long, for even a sliort stay m it makes him old; brutal, because his puhishment is? death. Is that not enough? And to add thereto years of solitary confinement is to kill him not once, but over and over again. The system is all wrong. Oh, the years in the Death chamber. The loneliness, the quiet. Hell must be a quiet place. I When at last it is drawing to a ' close, when the governor has refused ;to interfere, the officials proceed in 'this manner: On Saturday the "fortunate one" on stepping from his bath is ordered into a new cell?the ' one next to the 'little door" leading lto the execution chamber. Here he receives everything new; new bedding, new clothes from head to foot, and then his knicknacks, pipe, tobacco, boxes, books, and the package of '^ 1 1 J VI.... I letters xroni nume, rnggcu anu uicured from reading and re-reading; all have been carefully searched. Re receives something else, for this change in itself is his notice that or.e week from the following Monday he will be moved again. No questions are ever asked; he has seen it all before ; but should he ask, the only reply will be, "I don't know." ' From that moment a certain unwritten etiquette among us is never violated. His own way in everythir g as far as we can possibly compreher d it, is our law. Does he ask for a sorig or story, his demand is acquisccd with at once. Will he play checker!!? He may choose his opponent, and lie will always win. We send him our oranges, the top .layer from the box of eicars one has nurchased. We <lo anything, everything we can to pleaise him. Has there been a quarrel between him and another, it is completely forgotten. On his part, he must make the ghastly regulation jokes during the week. These are two in number, one with the keeper abo it the new suit of clothes: "I suppose 1 you wiH be wearing this week after ' next" Number two is with the bar1 ber: "Don't forget to cut my hair s short on top." From now on the "death watch" (two keepers) sits in 1 front of his cage every night. During this week occurs the greatest horror we are called upon to bear, i. e., to hear the last farewell of our. com-, panion to mother, wife, sister or child While listening to their cries we anticipate the agony in store for those we love. My heart bleeds when I 1 remember what I have heard in the ; death chamber. It is unspeakable. I cannot write of it. The comes the last night. Everything must be done very exactly now Our code prescribes for everything; nothing must be omitted, no custom ! may be violated. The early evening passes as usual. Generally he asks for songs, perhaps, he will sing one himself. That is as it may be. But at midnight the last rites among us of the death chamber take place. The keeper comes to my cell carrying, perhaps, the little paper box my departing friend has kept his tobacco , in so long; one that he made and decorated himself. "Keep that to remember me by," I hear from the direction of the little door. "Thank you,* I reply. "Good-bye. I hope you have luck and get out," is the next part of the ritual. I must respond, "Thank you. Goodby and God bless you." This is repeated with each one separately. He gives everything away, books, pipe, and all. For six months he has just been turning over in his mind just what treasure each of his companions shall receive when the last night comes. The responses never vary. They are now as they were ten years ago; they will be the same twenty years from now if that hell i on earth is still in existence. No one speaks to him or to any one else after that. He is reading and re; reading each of those letters for the : loot fimo nnd rlestrnvino1 thflin. We ; hear him tearing them up one by one "Swish, swish, swish." Then it is i quiet, very quiet in the death chamber. I am not sleepy; the other fel? lows do not seem to be sleepy. They are reading. I sit up and write this: tomorrow I will write the other half. I have often read in the newspapers of the supposed meal partaken of by the departing guest "furnished from ' the warden's table." No newspaper > reporter seems able to resist a de 1 scription of the last breakfast, and-no two papers ever published the same one. Did the wretch gorge himself to the extent indicated, indigestion and not electricty, would carry him off, 1 and justice be cheated. No, he is not even stimulated to the extent of a r cup of coffee, and for a good reason; r a full stomach is not a good conduct> or. You will read that "the man was indifferent." I tell you he was glad i to go. "That he made no trouble." . Why should he? "Our horror," how we are affected -by our companion' death, is portrayed. As a matter o fact, we envy him. Anything, everj thing is better than existence in th death chamber. During the night, if you have lai: awake, and one has been known to b so foolish, you may have felt a ver; slight vibration, perhaps it is imagi nation; perhaps it is the dynamo. I you have slept, and do not hear th death-watch draw down the curtain in front ofall the cells when the nigh outside turns gray, you will surely b< awakened by the noise of many feet It is the priests who have entered Their ordinary shoes on the flagginj of the corridor sound like thunder thunder moving away. Now it sub sides to the murmuring of Latii (prayers. As you lie in your cell (th drawn curtains make it resemble i little box) wide awake, you kno\ that the last confession is being mad the last sacrament is being adminis tered. This is another reason why m breakfast is given to the traveler, saw it all one morning; the curtail was not quite down to the floor, made myself as flat as possible. I sa\ the priest bless ami kiss him; hold u] the cross before his eyes; bid hin nave iaita, ana tnen DacK out 01 tn cell. "Ho.", who is soon to be "it,1 followed. "Then I heard the proces sion march rapidly into the nex room. "Bang!" said the hungry littl door as it closed. What happens in there, and how i felt three minutes later, I cannot tel you; but I came very near findinj out. Will you believe me that thi day is a long one? You fellows out side can do much to divert the min from disagreeable thoughts; we hav breakfast, and sit down to wonde which one of us will be next to go. SENATOR E. D. SMITH SPEAKS TCI FARMER!

Y., Aug. 14.?Th United States has plenty of materia for a volunteer arms of 1.250,06 and all that is needed is a plan fo utilizing it. Major Gen. Leonar Wood said here today in a ertatemen on the nation's preparedness for wai The chief need, he declared, was oi iicers. He advocated training col lege students in their junior an senior years along the same lines a now are being used at the militar; camp of instruction here. Gen. Wood said the country ha three sources from which to draw oi fleers from private life. First o these, he asserted, were men who ha been in the regular service or militii Second, he would obtain officers fror a list of men kept by the war deparl ment who have qualified by examine tions. The third source jvrould b from schools or institutions in whic some military training is given. For an army of 1,250,000; Ger Wood said, the nation would nee 40,000 officers. From these, 1,50 should be chosen each year for spe< ial grades of the service. These me eventually would have become th officers for volunteers. Referring to military service Ger Wood said: "No one has a right to consider hi discharge of duty as a soldier as vol untary. This duty is an obligatio binding upon all who mentally an physically are fit, and within certai age limits. A man has no more righ to speak of volunteering to discharg his duties to the nation as a soldie than he has to talk of voiunteerin; to obey any moral law or pay hi just debts." Gen. Wood also took a stroni stand against waiting until time o war to organize a,volunteer arm31 He asserted such a' plan would b about as effective as waiting until i t fire broke out to organize a volun teer fire company. Soldiers enliste< at such times, he said, would no know what was expected of them. WILL THE GERMANS TRY TO REACH PETROGRAD London, August 11-?Discussinj the possibilities of the Germans try ing to reach Petrograd, The Evenin] News correspondent ;.iere says: "The success gained by the Rus sian fleet at Riga reassured the cap ital, as no advance against Petrogra is likely unless the Germans ?obtai command of the Baltic, giving the ir vaders a line of communication b water, as well as by land." Reuter's Petrograd corresponder also discusses the chancy of a Gei man move at Petrograd. He says i is evident that the invaders are we established in strong forces on a foi ty-mile bow-shaped front from Loir za to Ostrow, and predicts that a effort will be made to reach Dvinsk. Military authorities, the correspoi dent continues, expect the Germar will persist in the offensive, but the express strong doubts whether an ai vance on Petrograd enters serious! into th<; German plans.
