'Conditions in ' South Sure to Be ?*Sfcar Normal. Significant Amount of Cotton Used in Manufacture ' c? "War Material. Called upon by President Rufus H. Rrwwiis at the Rotary Club meeting -yesterday. Mr. Frank H. Barrett, who ' back from a northern and aaslem trip, made a most interesting fcaik, on the business outlook, which xstx received with applause by the ,*je jjitemen present. Air. Barrett said in part: 4"1 found, while East, a great spirit j>f optimism prevailing among the tozsiness men, and why should not J fcfci?.'spirit prevail? Every dollar's! n-CTTrrti of nrooerty that is being de- j strayed in Europe is creating a lar-!

Ixrtd the biggest lien on the world's A*>-.c>uj-ces. Almost miraculously in ! <cnve year we have been transformed *>?? a debtor nation to a creditor jsszjod. A year ago, the financiers \if America were wondering and worover how they could possibly 3KSF their debts to Europe and ' Accglit it would be necessary to tiraLa this country of all it's gold in **3T&frr to meet it's foreign debit bal:4Ewr?.&. Today the worry is how the ~&>.7Wigner is going to pay for every jfc'iig he is buying from us. Money . ciseap and money is plentiful. The War Munitions. ,uTnp various manufacturing conengaged in supplying muniof war to the allies are nearly aJJ. located within a radius of two .teffidned miles of New York. Their Jbtissirtess is being operated upon a foasds of paying for all the increase cat-si enlargement of their plants out -411 tiue first year's profits, thereby jpeanitting of an absolute charge-off o>f this at the end of the year. The -3EX?zid year's orders are b,eing taken the basis of thirty to forty per ores* net profit. "This is almost staggering to the Sjna^snation. ,One very close to the Zteiile-hem Steel Co., told me that Chey had 5250,000,000 worth of rush orders ahead of them at present. "This good feeling necessarily extends ?& tabor with an increased purchas-ixg power resulting, and in turn to ttiLfeer lines of business. It is to be -laojaed that the South will feel short-lr the reflection of the optimisim in Afce JEast. Dr. Jones' Sermon. > was introduced to a gentleman i it TSew York, who, when he found I was from Augusta, said he was most happy to meet one from ^fegnsta, Ga., on account of the ininterest he felt in the review c-sf Dr- Ashby Jones' sermon on "Cot fciHE and Character," which he had anmd recently in the Manufacturers' Se-tord. He said that he was de"Stg&fced to see this broad and catho^3r view of the situation as compared to the sentimental "buy a bale" slush -ittf last year. *3 have not the ability to discuss action in terms of character of charjBt'iej in terms of cotton, as Dr. Jo-Ties did so eloquently, bnt there is -oit? point in reference to the non ^iaiptment of cotton to Germany that ."5 -would especially like to call atten1 fc?m to, that is, that the cotton mill rj ^merely an intermediary between "tbe cotton bale and the ultimate use if the manufactured article. "Germany and Austria have been trang about 2,500,000 bales; doubtl<c^5 1,500,000 of this mill consumption has been exported in the form caf broods. Our failure to be able to -i3f.p cotton to Germany and Austria *hrrefore does not mean that the consumption of goods in the world is ve&xced to 2,500,000 bales. It profoably means that the consumption of <xtion is(reduced 1,000,000 bales, as other 1,000,000 will seek other -nwthods of distribution to the ultimate user of the goods whether Jsiirough English, American or some 'a&her channel. Another Feature of It. '"'Another feature in judging of cotton situation that must be considered is the large and daily increasing consumption of cotton for .^ammunition purposes. This is esti.Ttinierl 9. Mil) I inn Vialoc (in tVio present ba*is of manufacturers of ikran cotton and shells in America and .vunongst the allies. "If this is true, it is more than the . Srst consumption clue to our inability j vVo'ship cotton to Germany. W4In my opinion, there is no chance v.j the British government permitting v single ba]e going to Germany if they can prevent it and we must look elsewhere for demand. However. I ;k>clieve firmly that demand will be ^.. emmensurate with the supply as offered and while we may have a <m;derate lower market, something fcfcv $5.00 a bale during the marketseason, there is no chance of the cerrible sentimental crash of a year "KgCs and I think business in the South ' Jus fall will be nc-arly if not entirely ri.r.rrnal. 1 Augusta's Position. "The South has partially learned 1 rvrw lessons this year. First, the ies vwr. of economy, and second, the les- ; .-?\T'0f making of cotton a surplus <.-rY>p in the .sense that food-stuffs be < c?i<rsbd at home. If these lessons . Mve been learned, we have gained i GERMANS BREAK " RUSSIAN LINE i t UNOFFICIAL REPORT SAYS LINE 1? IS BROKEN AND ADVANCE ; CONTINUES. I e Berlin, (by wireless). Aug. 16.? a German troops have broken through the Russian lines from the Narew to the Bug Rivers, it was officially an- a nounced to-day in a report from the c general staff. The advance of the t Teutonic troops is now expected to s move much more rapidly. s In their continued progress south ( of the Narew River, the Germans r have captured the towns of Losice a and Miedzyrzec, while Field Marshal s von Mackensen's army has occupied ii Ciale Slawatysze, east of Wlodawa. |t Von Mackensen is striving to get j 1 east of Brest-Litovsk and cut off the I Russian retreat in that region. The left wing of the army of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, the general staff also reports, has crossed the Bug f River east of Drogiezyn. From this c point the Bavarians can strike . at r Brest-Litovsk from the north. c Hard fighting continues at Kovno. The Russian garrison is being worn down, as the Germans claim the cap- E ture of 1,730 more prisoners there, j Fierce fighting is apparently in ^ progress at Novo Georgievsk, which c has been completely surrounded, the c official report stating that the nussian defenders have been driven farther back from their fortifications. ^ Novo Georgievsk Surrounded. ( Petrograd, Aug. 16.?Novo Geor- f gievsk, Russia's great fortress at the junction of the Vistula and Narew Rivers and one of the strongest pure- j ly military works in the field, has ( been invested by German troops, the t War Office announced to-day. A <; thrilling struggle is expected during t the operations about the stronghold, f The Russian troops left in Novo Georgievsk number, according to un- c official reports, between 40,000 and 80.000 men. It is predicted by Petrograd military experts that with an i adequate supply of munitions the J Russians will be able to hold the for- 1 tress for many months. i Novo Georgievsk was designed by ( nature as a fortress, and the natural c barriers were increased and strengthened by man. It was the genius Napoleon, more than 100 years ago, that first detected the advantages of * the place, and the first defenses were * erected there by his military engi- s neers in 1807. t There is no city at Novo Geor- f gievsk. It is essentially an armed t stronghold dominating the Vistula, c the Narew, the nearby railways and E several strategical highways. * The site of "the fortress is about 350 feet above the sea level* and about 100 feet above the level of ( the Vistula. It lies upon a plateau J which slopes precipitately to the c banks of the two rivers. a great deal. 0 'One other feature of the situation ^ this fall that must be considered is t that money is available in enormous quantities and at relatively low rates of interest, and just as much of this crop can be financed and stored as g we have available warehouse facili- ^ ties. Augusta has extraordinary facilities in the form of adequate bonded warehouse? and we are ready to do our part." Mr. Hickman and Mr. Levy. c Mr. Tracy I. Hickman endorsed C what Mr. Barrett had said. He stated, however, that the cotton manufacturers had not secured from the q neutral European countries the or- ^ ders for goods that had been antici- -a pated. Yet that the demand in vol- ^ ume is just ahead is the belief of the big manufacturers. The feeling is that if the manufacturers can con- ^ tinue to steer safely through the present lean times, for, say another ^ twelve-months, that there then must 0 come from the European countries p such a demand for manufactured cotton that will tax the capacity of the mills to meet. Following Mr. Hickman, Mr. Clarence Levy, who also is just back from the east, expressed a similar view of tne ousiness outlook. wnne trie manufacturers have every faith in the fu- a ture, however, they are not just at (. this time plunging. Yet they are confident that before many more months roll around this country, including the South, will be enjoying T an era of great prosperity. i Mr. Hickman made his talk speci- ^ ally interestin g by telling of a meet- , ing of the Rotary Club of New York ' which he attended and at which he n was made most cordially welcome. A His details of the mariner of the club b meetings in the metropolis won the ^ closest attention. The club in New , York is a large and powerful one and has enlisted some of the strongest e; men of the metropolis. Just now o they are at work on a campaign to .1 the end of strenghtening the military establishment in the metropolis. ^ A Medicine Chest For 25c. 0 In this chest you have an excellent 0 remedy for Toothache, Bruises, Stiff Xeck, Sprains, Backache.

Before leaving the parlor of agriculture where.n'atyire is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfection, let us pause and take a retrospective view. How many of you know that; after these wonderful products are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blushing Elberta, for example?they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion?the nation's favorite vegetable?every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cottons?nature's capitalist?often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing "Dixie" a.nd boast of the marvelous fertility of the'soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but it Is also well to remember that there is a market side to agriculture that does not reflect -its hardships in the exhibits at a county fair. . > ________ . UNIVERSAL PEACE This nation is now in the midst ol a controversy as to how best to promote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to discuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between nations Eknd it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and ofttimea political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled' "gas bombs" at industry, thrust bayonets into business enterprises and bombarded agriculture with Indilference. Party leaders nave many times Drosen diplomatic relations with Industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing Into the destiny of commerce. During the past quarter of a century we iave fought many a duel with progress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honedt enterprise. No man should toe permitted to cry jut for universal peace until his record has been searched for explosives, tor no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for,the port of Universal Peace. Let us by all means lave peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. initmuM it tup niianniii jhAonNb Al lilt dHAUUW No man?especially If he is marled?would deny woman any right ihe demands.
