THURSDAY SEpfE&BER 16. 1915.
German business men have offered
8 to buy one million bales of cotton at
fifteen cents if delivery can be had in
Berlin . Boy, turn to the market report
and see what’s the latest quotation on
ice water, f. o. b. Hades.
Since the Allies cited a proclamation
of Lincoln’s as precedent for making
cotton contraband we are beginninjjf-to,
have our doubts about the greatness of
that “martyred” (?) president.
Weather'Forecast
Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau,
Washington, D. C., for the week be
ginning Sept. 15:
The week will be'.one of generally
fair weather and relatively high tem
peratures, although scattered thunder
showers are probable in coast districts.
The People has received a fervid ap
peal from the editor of that very ex
cellent farm Journal, The Progressive
Farmer, urging us to join In the fight
“to save 1250,000,000 to our own peo
ple” by advising the fanners to hold
their cotton for an advance In price.
When the price of cotton is below the
coat of production it is, of course, sound
business judgment for a tanner to bold
it off the market—WHEN BY SO DO
ING HE DOES NOT EMBARRASS HIS
CREDITORS. At this writing cotton is
soiling for better than nine cents a
pound and the prospects are that,It will
go still higher The present crop,
> planted on a basis con-
[ that fignreand it seems
to ns that the farmers owe it to them-
and to the men who helped fi
ll ce the crop to either borrow money
on their warehouse certificates or sell
a sufficient portion of their crop to
satisfy their debts and hold the balance
for a higher price.
We are all interested in the farmer
and wish to see him realise the highest
market price for the staple, but as The
Columbia Record very wisely points
out, the time for planning to save the
South’s cotton crop is in the Spriog,
before the seed has been planted. Our
adviee, therefore, is that if the farmers
think the price of cotton is going to
advance to 12 cents and they are in a
position to hold it off the market they
should do so by all means, but they
have no legal nor moral right to do this
at the expense of the other fellow.
courtesy usd
have won for humanity, United
States and. incidentally, the Wilson ad
ministration, an extraordinary diplo
matic victory and have saved this Re
public from war with the German
Empire,” says The State. And we
might remark in passing that firmness,
courtesy and common sense will win
most of the battles of life.
Come on, you Cotton!
At The Lyric
“NEAL OF THE NAVY"
According to a' report submitted to
President Wilson by the American con
sul general at London, it seems that
while England has been holding up
American ships and cargoes consigned
to neutral countries adjacent to Ger
many, on the ground that those goods
might ultimately reach her enemies,
her own exports of cotton to those
neutral countries have doubled in a
a year, her shipments of manufactured
cqtton and woolen goods are greater
than eyer, and her sales of foodstuffs
have been record-breaking.
Can it be possible that the "nation of
shop keepers” is seizing American
products, paying a nominal price there
for and reselling them at a handsome
profit?
A Pathe Feature Serial that is
greater than “The Perils of Pau
line,” ‘The Exploits of Elaine,’
or "Who Pays?” Thrills a-plenty
for story readers and picturegoers
alike; romance to satisfy the most
romantic, adventures for the most
adventurous, and the best photo
play art to please the most artistic.
