Again we presome hat if you, who live in& your' own, make no effort in this di-. rection, who, if there ame any: enefits accruing therefrom would belthe recipietsthereof,.' we do not believe ona' neighbors who have no particular interest n our welfare,, would be so very indful ot use as to give us a oost by investing a few thous an, dollars for our especial ~good, or starting any enterprise hat would be for theup-building f our town. If a town is ever uilt up and placed in a growing ondition it will be directly or ndirectiy due to ithose who live in it and if you wish to know the steps to be taken we will cite a few. Talk it up, its in terests, its facilities and various daptibilities to different brancti s of industry. Write about it, beautify its streets. invest your money in it, patronize its mer hants and every enterprise started as far as it is consistent, elect good men to office, adver tise in its newspapers, be cour teous to those who come among you and never let an opportun ity to speak a good word about~ it pass. Remember that every dollar y'ou invest in a perman ent improvement is that moch money at interest and is -that much toward building up your town. There is no quicker way to take the life, growth, and ener y out of a town than for its cit izens to be constantly holding up the dark side of the picture to the gaze of the inquirer. The word "if" keeps everyone in doubt, and doubt keeps every man from going forward with the improvements he would oth erwise make. There is nothing like confidence to make a suc ess of anything and if you haven't got any of it, don't com municate the fact to your neigh bor, much less to a stranger and if the bent of your mind is to ontinually go against every in terest of the town in which you live for the sake of the towvn get out of it and go to some place that is already lifeless and has no interests at stake, where you, like the old lady's root beer, if you don't do any good vo won't do any hurt.

The measure of these "needs," is being ascer tained by Great Britain, not trom declarations of,.the neutral governments, but through a British commission, which is vis iting the severalcountries and estimating, according to their own methods, the volume of cot ton which each of them should use in its busmness. When these estimates have' been made, Great Britain will permit the supply to each of the several countries of the quantity of cot ton she thinks can be consumed in the domestic industries of each, and' any more than that consigned to them from the United States will be seized and disposed of as His Majesty's gov emnent thinks best. A "novel" policy, indeed! If Norway and Sweeden, Den mark, Holland, Greec~e or any of the other so-called neutral, but actually vassal, States of Europe, should refuse to accept the regulations imposed by Great Britian, tbe British admiralty would, none the less, proceed to enforce the policy determined upon. In a commercial sense, Great Britian has submitted to the whole body of smaller pow ers the alternative Germany laid before Belgium in a mili tary consideration. That Ger many should demand free pas sage for her armies with prof fered indemnmty for damages accruing, was deemed a crime against international integrity justifying Britian's drawing of the sword, and a good many Americans, calling for formal protest by this country and all other civilized nations. The decree of Great Britain that neutral nations shall regulate their comtegrity justifying Bri tai's drawing of the sword, and according to British writers. and a gook many Americans, calling for formal protest by this coun try and all other civilized nations The decree of Great Britain that neutral nations shall regu late their commerce and indus try according to the determina tion of a British commission and the export business of the United States be accommodated to that definition is a "novel pol icy" happily meeting the diffi LRA (ANCE 2, 1915, and v rust 1st. ut things an ucements in -Men, Boys 'd=Stric LER I culties of a situation in -whic the interest of Great Britain al at a disadvantage. The proceeding.is an invasic of the rights of every neutr; power, and an Impudent asse tion of the domination of ti seas by Great Britain. It more than a military measur moreover, illustrating conspi uously the British maxim "bu iess as usual." The Britis government is looking a ion way ahead, and taking measuri to regulate the distribution American cotton after as we as during the war.

A BAD HABIT. - There is a habit most common b among the young men much gmore dangerouas than it appears s and which may lead to results f extremely disastrous-the habit 1 of barrowing money. It is a a habit contracted with great ease n and once started there is no d knowing where it will end. A d few dollars are borrowed to t please some passing fancy with e every intention of returning the s loan in a short time. But the * thoughtlessness which caused i-- the purchase of an article be t yond one's means likewise - al i lows the interval to elapse with . out any provrision having been j( made to meet the obligation. 3 Perhaps half the debt is ready, but more money is borrowed t a from another friend to complete I _ the amount, and so it continues s indetinitely. Soon a number of t s debts are contracted and, how- t s ever small they tend to burden life and make it unpleasant and 'l t amost invariably lead to dis- a ~honesty. Yonng men with small 'e salaries should by all means l r avoid the habit. To do so willa .necessitate perhaps many sacri-s fices, but no dangers are run in living within one's income. And, : besides, the habits of economy e and frugality learned when the , income is small, will bear fruit r in abundance when it is larger. 1 It is a safe rule in youth at least to "borrow not." a When times are dull and peo tpie are not advertising, says 6 ~ John Wannamaker, "is the very o ~ time that advertising should be t' t heaviest." Such is the advice i given by America's merchant prince. Some traders say it s does not pay to advertise. They h think they know more than Wannamakar. That's where b 2 they make a big mistake. Wan- b namaker's advertising has made 'im rich and famous. Wanna- tl maker's methods on a smaller a scale would be as good here as - in New York or Philadelphia. v s Turn over a new leaf and adver- ti ntil le.I for ts, but , both SUMT -Pinewood Mr. John W.

OLEY KIDNEY PILLS sR SaGKaCHT KIDNEYS AND 8'LADDER OUR )mmenced IV ~'s our time I oming seaso Ve are offerii :ially on WOe and half-line Nothir JECI BOSSING ThE SEAS, In default of the courtesy of a ireet reply to our note of March 0; we rust find an answer to ar pr'otest against Great Brit i s arbitrary regulation of neu bral commerce in the speech of he Marvuis of Crewe in the ose of Lords on Thursday, as er as the handling of cotton is ~oncerned, which happens to be ne of the great staple crops of the United States and the one pon which a whole section of this country bases its economic Life. Explainiing that up to this time the government had not de ~lared cotton contraband of war ecause of consideration for the ensibilities of the United States nd particularly of the people f the Southern States, he yet eclared that if this step should e deemed necessary to- the mil tary welfare of Great Britain, t would be taken, notwithstand ng, Lord Crewe opined that no ne would suppose that under nternational law or the most el ~mentary rules of fair play it was piossible to institute a block ade of neutral countries with whom England had no quarrel. defiition of cotton as contra and of war might, at least, be held to be within the- legal right f Great Britain, though, un oubtedly, an extension of the octrine of. conditional contra band to an almost absurd point. while tne blockade of neutral ountries by. the British fleet ould have the merit of an out right hostility giving full free on of action to the nations aganst which it was instituted. instead of the one or- the other direct course, the Marquis ex plained that Great Britain "had adopted a policy which admitted y was novel, but which was rendered necessary by tbe hanged conditions of maritime ar-fare." which is to say that instead of following the recog nized rules of international law, Great Britain has made a rule of her own to meet the condi tions that have been developed by the invention of new methods of sea fighting. That is precise ly the position of the German government with respect to the use of the submarmne, against which Great Britain has inveigh d and concerning which the United States is now wrestling with Berlin.
