Eight weeks huvi- Korie by and yet nothing has been ?lone to start the stagnant currency into circula tion. At times we wonder If there ls not behind lt all some cheap politics on the part of the Northern finan ciers- Of course they must be con servative, but the country needs en couragement from the money centers. Especially is thia ?.rue of the South. Wall street bus never taken with uny degree of pleasure the new cur rency law and sometimes we think there is a possibility of some politics in this-politics with the purpose of discrediting Mr. Wilson's adminis tration. The chief thing wrong with this country is not actual, but psycholog ical. Tho policy of neutrality dooB not Imply helpless walting, but to make the world respect UB thia <f>untry must go ahead and show its Independence hy a courageous effort to make our in dustries and our enterprises even more suco^nful than In the past. We fee! that the channels of com merce on thc high seas v.*!ll aeon again bc reopened, and then the South will prosper. But is there any ne cessity to wait until that time? The worst of the War is over, so far as we are concerned. For the longer these nations fight, the weaker they become. Just so in that propor tion will Increase their disinclination to meddle with United States pro ducts in transit upon the seas.

This j 'er reads: .Mention farmers! On account of v. uropean war the cotton surplus mcu. . a decreased acreage next year. "What shall take tho place ot Cot ton? "Seed Oats. "1.
