WARRING COUNTRIES SOUND Credit of France and England, in Spite of Severe Strain, Is Still on Solid Basis. The United States, through the expe rience of the warring European pow ers, has acquired a tremendous fund of preparedness information. Americans who have served with the European armies andj-iavies have made avail able to us their valuable experience in the world war. In the less spectneular, although hardly less important, phase of the struggle, war financing, this country has also had skilled observers. It has not been necessary for them to visit the scene of the struggle. In a way the scene of the struggle has come to them. Much of the planning of the financial side of the war has taken place within shadow of Trinity Church in lower Broadway, New York. Amerloa World Finanoial Leader. By reason of America's newly ac quired leadership in the world's finances, we know how Europe has financed herself to meet the strain of her tremendous struggle. Money is the H AVE yousaked the .

America. therefore, is in a much bet. ter positIon than we were at the begin. ning of any of the live wars weich brought us face to tacO with weighty economie, filnaineial and social problems. The banks and trust companies of this country, throughi which Europe has conductel IuchI of her war financing, are at one with the nation's industries, in affording the government the resources wvith which to meet the eventualities of war. For example, the Guaranty Trust Company of New York has recently reduced to boo0k form its fund of information on wvar financing. In a pamphlet entItled "WVar Loans andl the United States," there Is some rather strikinug informnatioun. The United States now holds approximately thirty per cent of the wvorld's suipply, it points out. This is an increase of thirty-six per cent over the amount held by this country in 1914, and upon us is thrown the obligation of empIloylng It Intelli gently. We are dislcharging tis ob ligation by using it as a basis for for eign loans and the extension of credit. Warring Nations Finanolilly Strong. F~acing, gas we do, the possibility of floating ini this country, not only En rop~en war'loans, b~ut also loans of our own, it is comforting to realize that th' financfl strength of Great Britiain and F~rance has not been affected in the slightest dlegree by the tremendous Continental Currenoy W'th Whioh the Colonies Financed the Revolution, strain to which~ it has been subjected In the last two years and a half. The Wealth and resources of both countrIes atre so enormous that there is no pro!. ability of lose through loans to their governments.

Culbortson's let ter to The State and a good one too, we would like to say that we endorse every word that he said, and will add a little to what he has already said. I anra little farmer down here at this little place that we call Lisbon, and I ai going 'to give you some facts as I think of them. We changed hands about the 20th of December, all except one family, on the 24t of December. We carried the two families that had moved -in to Laurens. We advanced one $15.00 cash and $25.00 worth of shoes and supplies; the other one $20.00 cash and $10.00 worth of shoes and supplies. They had four head of hogs that was turned in our lot and they were fed from our crib. They had three head of cows and they were fed from our crib up to April the 1st and no charges were made against them. We turned them loose in our scatter Ing cotton and gave it all to them, and furnished and fed mules to carry it to market and they told me from that iot they realized $20.00. 'I don't know how much after that but they kept picking as long as they could see a boll. Now then, did they buy a pound of bacon or flour? No, they spent that money for what I can't tell you, as A a the here Buoyrgt at aifnc youar clthe here. We H Cl T gro Exodus: you have to buy overalls, shoes, medl elne, pay their taxes and give then money to pay their wives' dues to their societies every month, furnish them wagons, mules, buggies to go whenever they want to go, and you have to be as polite to them as you would to \Voodrow Vilson if you had the pleasure of meeting him down this way. Now, then, we want any fair .d man to read what we have said as to what should make a darkey satis fled in the South, and if this falls, then we have no remedy to suggest or to offer. We have 22 darkies on our place; three months gone and what lit tie work has been done, live out of the 'Iwenty-two hive dlone it. Do you ihink that the live could go up North and pay house rent, buy coal, pay for supplies and keel) up the twenty-two, Including themselves? The war is on and we are .sorry, because we know that some mnother's boyy has to go, and some of them will never return. But war has been de clared and we have nothing to do but to respond to the call, and not walt to be coscripted. We heard some farm ers nay the other day that "I am not going and I will die first" while oth ers said they would fight,-if the Ger mans invaded South C rolint, but they o. rtSc f 4e; Sr /: spt models. adot ofare livel the ave the Right Style and LARDY hie home of Hart 2cl, would not go across the water I fight them. Well, this is otur countr and frot cver'y standpoint we se that every Imall alI wolian should d their parit to overtlrow t Gt(era governineit an(1 put an end to thei murderous way of warfare. We wel old enough to know something of t(1 war between the states, and we hue of son men, but a few, that said ' ,ni not going to fight, ax, I have not single negro to fight for," but he ha to fight Just the same and put. off di( ing until some of them died on the ha tielleld, but this war is some differe to the Civil War. The negro will hav to go, a mattfer of course. Some < them, I think, are willing to go whil others say they have nothing to fIgl for. When they call for my age, will go without being conscripted. have as much right under the laws this government to help to pmroteel i: rights as any man In the 'n!! States, and I will do my part in an way tle government dictates, and wi say nothing. We read from the NI York World, where men and wome upl there are urging boys and gir from t lie right age to vohiliteer f the service of war in the defense < their country an( we believe ti South Carolina will furnish her pr< rata when the time comes. So the. men who say they will not go, forgi that they will have to obey the will C the government, and will not have an choice in the matter whenever tit tD4 (Ir ng2 Mode reser amodgtel even some of the se, you'll find oth the Right Fit for Every L WILS( affner Of Marx clot D time comes, but to get out and filght when Uncle Kam says so.
