I envy not tho Northern girls, their robi-s of beauty rare, Tho' diamonds grace their snowy necks and pearls bedeck their hair. Chorus Hurrah! Hurrah! for the Sunny South so dear, Three 'dicers for tho homespun dress that Southern women weur. The homespun dress is plain, I know, our hats palmetto too, Hut then it shows what Southern girls For Southern rights will do. W'Vve sent the bravent of our land to battle with the foe; Out we will lend a helping hand, be cause we love the South you know. Now Northern goods are out of date, and since old Abe's blockade, The Southern girls can be content -.vlth dresses Southern made. We scorn to wear a bit of silk, a bit of Northern lace, But make our homespun dresses up and wear them with a good grace. The Sputhern land's a glorious land, and has a glorious'cause; Then cheer, three cheers for Southern lights and for our Southern boys. | The soldier is the lad for us-a brave heart we adore, We'll give our hearts and hands to them and love them more and , moro. And now young men, who are lovers true, if you would win the fair, ?o to the field where honor calls and win your lady there; Remember that cur brightest smiles are for the true and brave. And that our tears are all for those who fill a soldier's grave. POTENTIALITIES Russia, in her dark autocracy, ls little understood by tho rest of the world. Her form of government- 1B so arrogant and so despotic as to cause the people of this republic to consider lt with aversion. All that Russia needs ls a constitutional mon archy or some form ot popular govern ment with an infusion of protestant ism, and the vast despotism of the Bsar will become the land of the free sud the happy. ' Potentially, Russia ia tha n?gb^?? anton ot the future. We repeat-' potentially.' If Russia had the plan sf governnient and the patriotism of Jtt?? Switzerland, it would Indeed be i mighty nation, we might say a sub lime world power. Its brute strength today ls difficult 0 compute, almost impossible to com prehend. Ages ot exploitation ' will lot succeed In exhausting Russia's . possibilities bf commercial expan den. RusBla has 900,000,000 acres ot tlm >er land and under the plow in Rus t?a are 250,000,00 acres, while twice hat amount ls being cultivated in the Jnlted States and this country has inly 88,000,000 acres of forest. It ls laid that Russia can expand twice her uneunt of cultivated land and yet .ave virgin soil fer generations. The population of Russia is 165,000. 100, increasing at they rate of 3,000.000 1 year, This population, enormous as t le, does seem BO "teeming" tn a ' lountry of . 8.660,000 square miles, an tr ea two and a half times'as large ia the United States with her 900,000. ?00. . In addition to her timber and her ! intouched agrioultural possibilities, lussta abounds'.in minorais, oils and ! Pels in illimitable profusion. Should tome chance of fate cause Russia to bse her autocracy, should the dark 1 reit of mystery and despotism ever >e withdrawn, that country will be- , :ome wonderful. The South for 50 years has buffered rom tho unjust suspicions of the jj world. This country, rich In resour ies, pregnant with opportunity, hhs >een allowed to drag along and work 1 ?ut her own destiny because of the 1 reil ot distrust drawn around her. 1 rim world looked, upon a land ot 1 ynchtngs and not a peaceful .coup-; 1 ry. Thanks to bur local and state ' ?omtnerclal secretarlos, our powerful 1 ind reliable newspaper and our rall oad industrial departments; tho out- ' dde world baa learned that the South 1 s not lawless, but la law loving and - aw abiding, and but for the iemp >rary backset given by the war, the i louth would have advanced as much < n the one year dating from this Sep ember as ino had done lu ten pieced- ] ngc years/ The South has begun to i srork out her own destiny. Russia nay never d? so, for there is no out ilde force tb aid Russia is Impotent ipparentiy, to do something in and of ind for herself. Though these be times that load the 1 lean with care and steep the mind ) n worry, yet ft ts such times as hose that Individuals must suffer 3 that Institutions may live. The South has just begun on her upward climb. The men who can are the men who must. Our institutions should not lunKuish. must not suffer. Our schoolB. our colleges, our commercial hollies, our V. M. C. A's-all other agencies for promotion, for upbuild ing, for culture, must be. made better, (stronger, liver, und the result will be that after this pre.sent period of de pression pusses, there will not be a moment's delay In achieving. Keep our standing army ot workers under units, reudy for the cull. Potentialities are great, but sacri fice und effort und achievement are the'things thut make the world bigger and better. KKK!' THE PRICES IIP , The movement to I'Buy-a-Baie" has had its psychological effect. Like the gallant lille Belgian army, it has stemmed the tide of descending prices j until reinforcements could arrive. We do not wish to add any discourage ment to the movement, but it must be backed up by something permanent However, let the "Buy-a-Bale" movement be continued and let it be UH cd as a help to the poor and the de serving. Wc understand that 38 bales were bought here Monday under this plan and it ls reported that others are ready to buy, or to receive cotton at 10 cents per pounu in exchange for credit at stores. Several bales were sold here yesterday at the prevailing price. It was reported here yesterday that a shipload of cotton had cleared from Charleston for Liverpool. That was a very cheering piece of news, for the blockade of "The King's Highway" is one of tho main cases of all the cot ton troubles. "V e would like to Bee the "Buy-a B'jle" movement kept up Indefinitely, tut at the same time the "allies" must got their forces into condition to support the Belgians. The great en emy of all armies in Europe ls Starva tion, and the great enemy of markets in tli 1B country ls Surplus. Unicas some plan is worked out at once to take care of that great enemy, the sit uation is relieved but temporarily by the "Buy-s-Bale" movoment. There must be numerous plans put Into ef fect and all working together. . Another great factor in boosting prices ta that so many houses In the United States that have used bur laps fdr shipping, are now turning to cotton. ..This will promote the sale ut millions .o? pounds or cotton at 10 cents. . 1 THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE . I The lato Feaster V. Tribble was an optimist and his doctrine of optimism was "push." Mr. Tribble on the day of his death wrote an article to put heart into the people of Anderson county. We have hesitated to pub lish this letter but have been assured that there is no impropriety and thai it may do good. Mr. Tribble wrote: "When we hear of 6 and 8 cents cotton, whose ears are lifted? The farmers' For many years the English and German manufacturers have been using 5 to 8 million bales of our cot ton and so this year it seems that the war will put 6 to 8 mill?n bales ot cot ton in the country that cannot be sold. J "But remember. For several years! this 12 and 15 cents cotton was used here in our mills and they bought lt, without one word of "this la too high," Now when the farmers can help their own people they should not say "it ts too .low." . ~~ "The war will not fifo on forever, but lt may last until every able bodied Berman is killed, so do not, Mr. Farm er, plant more than*'a entail per cent pf yoiw^crop in> cotton next year. \ jj "I know a farmer who baa not planted cotton for several years. To day he has his barn filled with hay and oats, his larder filled with meat, and lard, his granary filled with wheat and bis only trouble-will be his modesty, hui fear that "I am charging too *n .'cb for this or that." "We will get through thu year fair ly well, but look out for next, If you io not cut down the acreage of your cotton crop. AU ot our American made goods wir /ha lower on account D( over production, but when the war comes to a dose, then the people in Imgland and Germany will want clothes. Borne th lng to eat, etc Then ?111 tho South get'her price for her pYoducts. 1 All ??w get' on' the onti mlstic aide of the situation."

Heathcote, southern represen tative of Norrdyke & Marmon C., of Indianapolis, Ind.. with a branch of fice in Lynchburg, Va., will arrive in Anderson' within the next few days to 1 consult the farmers' committee on the subject of building a grain elevator here.
