Do not bo a fool and give away your

Blessed is the farmer who is able
to make some plan whereby he can
hold his cotton crop off the market.
Later he will get a big price for the
crop.

and help make the European war one
of the best things that ever happened

Through the inconvenience now may
be great, it can in the end be turned

Sell the cotton now and you will be
the sufferer when the war scare is all
over and the world has to have the
cotton crop. Then will the price of
cotton be higher than this country has
ever seen it before.

Considering the European war and
the terrible loss it will entail in lives
and property, we are constrained tc
agree with the New York American
when it says in effect that all men are
not far removed from savages.

Just as nations will fall out and kill
each other by wholesale, so will one
man when given power use it to oppress
the one who has it not. Verily
these are things that are fearful about
human nature when you think about

In this issue of the paper is a selected
editorial entitled: "You ARE
if You Are." It contains much that
is interesting to think about, and in
fact, it is plain common sense. It was
selected for publication in this paper
because we have so often noticed the
wrong notion that a hoy or girl, and
even grown up people will often have,
about just what it takes to make superiority,
and as to what really causes
some men and women to excel others
in achievment. The boy who starts
out in life with the belief seemingly
fixed in his mind that he was born to
boss the world whether or not he intends
to make himself worthy of it by
his extra ability and training, is in a
bad way ever to amount to anything,
and the chances are that he will not,
unless he gets the false notions knocked
out of him. Read the editorial for
what good it will do you. Take
thought and it will help you.

THE ONLY THING TO DO.
The man who thinks that the farmers
of the South are a foolish lot, is
a fool himself. The time has been,
perhaps, in theh istory of the South,
when the farmer did not know very
quickly the matters of national imA<??^n
v? a a L ? /iL ? i 4 1,11 ? ? /\ o r% 4 u a '
pOitcvii^c wiilCtt \ ium4\ lOiilciiio im; 11
interests. In those times the farmers
did not read like they read at the pres
ent time. Just now, when the outlook
for cotton is paralyzed bv the Euro
pean war situation, there is no class
of people on the face of the earth
more aware of the situation, and th<
best remedy for it, than the farmers
of this country. Time has been wher
they would not have known. To knov
quickly what the sitauation is means
at least half the battle on the way tc
the proper remedy. After summing
it all up, the farmers have no doubl
deceided that the only things to do is
to hold the cotton crop. .Just because
there are no big brick warehouses
throughout large portions of the
country in which the cotton may h<
stored is no reason at all why thej
cannot or will not hold the crop hack
Many of the farmers are in positior
to get their accounts extended at the
banks and business houses, so that il
is not necessary to sacrifice the croj
*
i n orfier to meet a debt. The banker
f and the merchant can no more afford
to let the farmer sell his crop at a
sacrifice than the farmer can afford
it himself. . In many instances, if
forced to sell at the present prices, the
total amount received for the crop
5
would not pay the farmers debt' for
supplies. Then where will the merchant
or the banker come in? If the
farmer cannot pay his debt, the banker
or merchant may have to lose it.
By helping: the farmer in his plans
' to store and hold the cotton, there will
1 be a time, and we hope soon, when the
crop will bring enough tp pay all that
the farmer owes.
In the situation which confronts the
I
South today, by reason of this war, all
classes and conditions of people will
be compelled to come together in the
;_i. j' r - ?
interest 01 tne common good. This is
what they all know. To sell the cotton
crop now is to sacrifice it at about
| half what.it is worth. No farmer is
. fool enough to do it if he can possibly
> avoid it. Each farmer owning only a
. small quantity, ranging from four or
, live to as much as seventy-five bales,
needs no modern warehouse in order
to keep the cotton safe at his farm.
1 Under sheds, and even In the open
' held, with the right kind of precau'
tions, the cotton can be safely kept
1 until the price goes up.
Meet the situation squarely now be'
fore the crop is sacrificed at nearly
nothing,-make plans at once to keep
it in storage, either on the farm or in
some reliable warehouse, be patient
, and watch the situation in the mean
time, and do not grumble at the hard
. times that may be caused by doing
without the money the crop would
bring, and it will not be long before
1 the war in Europe will be over, the
i people over there will have to go back
( to work, at least' as many of them as
( are left, the world will need the cot
, ton worse than ever it did before, and
the price of cotton will be higher than
it ever has been before; then the farm
or and Also the merchant and the
banker who are helping him out, will
reap the reward that intelligent waiting
is sure to bring them. It is the
only thing to do.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST
COME TO THE RESCUE.
It is our hope?and it seems to us
, well founded?that the European war
will be comparatively brief. In any
case, it seems safe to say that before
spring the war should be over, and
\
, the survivors of the present struggle
ready to resume their wonted occupations.
While all the nations will suffer
heavily in money as well as in
men, the people will have to be clothed?and
cotton will continue to be the
cheapest clothing folks can wear.
While for a few weeks, therefore,
the cotton trade will be seriously upset?both
by reason of the deranged
commerce of Europe and by reason of
the fact that European ships will not
be available for carrying our cotton
abroad?the hopeful fact is that with,
in a few months, anyhow, the world
must have our present 1914 cotton
crop, and must pay a fair price for it.
Until the war is settled, cotton, if
marketed in the usual early-autumn
quantities, will certainly be a drag on
the market, and will not bring anywhere
near its worth. The problem
is as to whether our farmers are go'
ing to be forced to sell under such con
ditions and literally hand over to the
speculative classes millions of dollars
the toiiing classes have created.
In the face of such disaster?as
genuine and as serious as if caused by
flood, famine, or earthquake?it seems
to us imperative that the National
Government should lend its aid. The
Government should furnish sufficient
money to enable every Southern farm'*
or to borrow very nearly the value of
his cotton and so hold it until conditions
become normal. And what is
more, the Government must so control
and manage its help as to make sure
that it goes directly to the man it is
r
intended for, without forcing him to
t
pay high interest rates or excessive
banking charges.?The Progressive

only thing that matters is the future
?the opportunity to develop personal
power, dignity and character, that
neither man, nor type, nor ink, nor
time can destroy.
If you are perturbed and vexed over
your standing and position, over

up to your job, no Directors'
Meeting, no change in the Company's

fact that you have failed.
Oh, I know Fame and Wealth are
magic words, but you look back
through the history you have read?
down the list of names of noted men

You canot acquire position, fame,

to accomplish it, your work will be
followed by the success it deserves.
