TIIK HOMESPUN "REHS I - 1 The following old versea were sung - during the War of Secession, and , and Juat ut thin time when Southon) ; women are so patriotically planning , to buy no more silks und satins and | to weur cotton goods alone, the sen- , timent of tho old war song In apro- j pos : ' ] I uh, ye?, I am a Southern glrfc and glory in the name, And back it with far greater pride than gliterlng wealth and fame. I I envy not the Northern girls, their robes of beauty rare, Tho' diamonds grace their snowy necks and pearls bedeck their hair. Chorus Murrah! Hurrah! for the Sunny South so dear, Three cheers for the homespun dress that Southern women wear. The homespun dress IB plain, I know, our hats pu]metto too. Hui then lt showb what Southern girl* For Southern rights will do. W'j've sent the bravest ot our land to battle with the foe; But we will lend u helping hand, be cause we love the South you know. Now Northern goods arc out of date, and since old Abe's blockade. The Southern girls can be content with dresses Southern made. We scorn to wear a bit of silk, a blt of Northern lace, But make our homespun dresses up and wear them with a good grace. The Southern land's a glorious land, and has a glorious cause; 't hen cheer, three cheers for Southern rights and for our Southern boys. The soldier ls the lad for us-a brave heart we adore, We'll give out hearts and hands to them and love them more and more. t And now young men, who are lovera true, If you would win the fair. Go to the field where honor calla and win your lady there; Remember that our brightest smiles are for the true and brave. And that our tears are all for those who fill a tc Idler's grave. POTENTIALITIES Russia, in hor dark autocracy, is little understood by the rest of the world. Her form of government is so arrogant and so despotic as to cause the people of this republic to consider it with aversion. All that Rnssla needs ia a constitutional mon archy or some form of popular govern ment with an infusion of protestant ism, and the var', despotism of the csar will become the land ot the free and the happy. Potentially. Russia is the mightiest naton of the future. We repeat potentially. If Russia had the Plan, of government and the patriotism of little SwiUeriand, it would LLdesd be a mighty nation, we might say a sub lime world power. Its brute strength today 1B difficult to compute, almost impossible to com prehend. Ages of exploitation will not succeed In exhausting Russia's possibilities of commercial expan sion. Russia bas 900,000.000 acres of tim ber land and under the plew In Rus sia are 250,000,00 acres, while twice that amount t's being cultivated in the United States and this country has only 88,000,000 acres of forest. It ia said that Russia can expand twice her amount of cultivated land and yet have virgin soil fpr generations. The population of Russia ts 105,000. 000, increasing at Gie/ rate of 3,000,000 a year. This population,'enormous as lt Is, does seem so "teeming" in a country of 8,650,000 square mites, an area two and a half times aa large aa the United States with her 900,000, 000. In addition to her Umber and her untouched agricultural possibilities, Russia abounds .in minerals, oils and fuels in illimitable profusion. Should some chance of fate cause Russia to lose her autocracy. Should the dark veil of mystery and despotism ever be wiiniiruwn. thai country will be come wonderful. The South for 50 years has Suffered from thc unjust suspicions cf the world. Thu country, rich in resour ces, pregnant with opportunity, baa been allowed to drag along and work out her own destiny because ct the veli of distrust drawn around, her. The'world j coked upon a land of lynchings and not a peaceful coun try. Thanks to our local and state commercial secretaries, oar powerful abd reliable newspaper and our rail road industrial departments, the out side world has learned, that the South la not lawless, but la law loving and law abiding, and but for* the . temp orary backset given by the war, the Sooth would have advanced aa much In tbs one year dating from this Ber tomber aa bhe had done In ten preced ing years, llae South baa begun to work but her own deatlny. Russia may never do so, for there bi no oat etde &>rce to aid R?sala is impotent, apparently, to do something la and oe and for herself. Though theiss be times that load the heart with care and steep the mind in worry, yat lt i? such times aa these that" fcftdlvtdoa!* must suffer :hat institutions may live. The Sc:ith ias just begun en bor upward climb, rbe men who ?an are the men who must. Our Institutions should not languish. must not suffer. Our schools, our colleges, our commercial bodleH, our Y. M. ('. A's-all other agencies for promotion, for upbuild ing, for culture, mum be made b? Uer. istronger, liver, and the result will be that after this present period of de pression passes, there will not be a moment's delay in achieving. Keep our standing army of workers under arma, ready for the call. Potentialities are great, but sacri fice and effort and achievement are the things that make the world bigger end better. KEEP THF. PUCES I'P Tho movement to rUuy-a-IJale" has had Its psychological effect. Like the ] gallant title Helglan army, it has | stemmed the tide of descending prlceE until reinforcements could arrive. We | do not wish to add any discourage ment to the movement, but lt must be backed up by something permanent. However, let the "Buy-a-Bale" movement be continued and let it be used as a help to the poor and the de serving. We understand that 38 bales were bought here Monday under this plaa and it ls reported that others are ready to buy. or to receive cotton at 10 cents per pound In exchange for credit at ?tores. Several hule? were sold here yesterday at the prevailing price. It waa reported here yesterday that a shipload of cotton had cleared from Charleston for Liverpool. That waa a very cheering piece of news, for the blockade of "The King's Highway" is one of the main cases of all the cot ton troubles. We would like to see the "Buy-a Bale'* movement kept up indefinitely, but at the same time the "allies" myust get their forces Into condition to oupport-the Belgians. The great en emy of all armies in Europe ls Starva tion, and the great enemy of markets I in this country is Surplus. Unless j some plan 1B worked out at once to take care of that great enemy, the sit uation ls relieved but temporarily by the "Buy-a-Balo" movement. There must be numerous plans put into ef-1 feet and all working together. Another great factor In boosting I prices is that BO many houses in the United StateB that have used bur laps for shipping, are now turning to 1 cotton.. This will promote the sale I of millions of pounds of cotton at 10 j cents. THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE The late baster V. Trlbble was an optimist and bis 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 that lt may do good. Mr. Trlbble wrote: . "When we hear of 0 and 8 cents cotton, whose ears are lifted? The fanners' For many years the English and German manufacturers bave been using 5 to 8 million bales of our cot ton and so this year it seems that the war will put 5 to 8 milton bales of cot ton In the country that cannot be sold. "But remember. For several years this 12 and 16 cents cotton was used here In our mills and they bought lt without one word of "this ls too high." Now when the farmers can help their own people they should not say "lt ls too low." "The war will not go on forever, but lt may last until every able bodied German ls killed, so do not, Mr. Farm er, plant more than a small per cent of your crop in cotton next year. "I know a farmer ?no hu not planted cotton for several yearn. To day he has his barn filled with hay and oats, his larder filled with meat, and larrf, ht? granary fl1l*>j ?j?h ?WI .ml I his only trouble will be his modesty, j his fear that "I am charging too much for this or that." "We will get through this year fair ly well, but look out for next, lt you do r.ct cut down the acreage of your cotton crop. All of our American made goods will be lower on account ot over production, but when the war comes to a close, then the people in England and Germany will want clothes, something to eat. etc. Then wilt the South get tier price for her producta. AU now get on the opti mistic side of the situation."

Heathcote, southern represen tative of Norrdyke a Marmon C., of Indianapolis, Ind.. with a brunch of fice in Lynchburg. Va., will arrive in Anderson within the next few days to consult the farmers' committee on the subject of building u grain elevator here. In his letter to local people, Mr. Heathcote says that ho would re commend for Anderson a combination meal and feed equipment to be used in the mill, with a daily capacity of 10,000 bushelo. ile ulso advocates i he building of separate storage warehouses so that 10,000 bushels be moved daily. In his letter, Mr. Heathcote says he believes a wholesale grain company would have to be organized here if the venture is to be handled in a suc cessful manner, but says that he will take this feature up in detail when he arrives.
