Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Sept. 17, l.)14.
We are wondering if the South
will refer to it later as the war
cotton or cotton war period.
While we are settling on the
plan for pulling the cotton farm
er out of the hole, let us help
him to dig all his potatoes and
pick all his peas.
England is buying horses in
Tennessee for war mounts. The
old mother country is up to snuff.
Those Tennessee plugs can easily
be worked olf on the beef mark
ets of her ally, France.
We were told that France paid
her great war debt of the Fran
co-Prussian war of forty years
ago with chickens and eggs.
Surely, European hens have a
stupendous job ahead of them.
We are of the same opinion as
Asa Candler of Atlanta. Peace
is what must settle the cotton
business in the South. The old
law of supply and demand es
pecially demand must assert it
self.
“More oats” was a splendid
slogan before this war scare
struck us, and it will always be
a good one for the South, re
gardless of whether the Germans
take Paris or the Russians cap
ture Berlin.
Those red-handed belligerents
of Europe can kill and slay to
their heart’s content, but they
cannot rob us of the ecstatic
thought that tater-digging and
cane-grinding times are just
ahead of us.
We never have felt that At
lanta was getting the full meas
ure of gratitude due by the press
of the state*. For weeks and
weeks we have had no headlines
flared upon us containing any
word suggesting Fr ——k.
Keep that boy in school, and
see that he gets some of the kind
of education formerly taught in
the old blue back speller, and
don’t let him imbibe too much
militarism. The world has an
overdose of that just at this
time.
Statesmen and scholars are
busy making predictions as to the
wonderful boost the great Eu
ropean war is going to give
America. Some of these wise
ones have doubtless had the
toothache and remember how
good they felt after the aching
member had been pulled.
Os course our people are loyal
to the Wilson administration, and
remember his caution as to neu-1
trality. But they are only hu
man, and it is interesting to j
watch them smile around the 1
postoflice as they read those big
head lines about the Germans re
treating. They want this war
stopped somehow, or somehow
else.
It did not take the European
war to convince us of the won
derful possibilities of the South
land. Neither are we jumping
at such a conclusion because new
world markets are being opened
up to us. The opportunities are
here and have been here all the
time. Every crossroads store has
upon its shelves goods that our
people can make at home and
sell at home at a fine profit. The
next generation will not be as
slow as we have been. Schools,
corn clubs, farm demonstrators,
trade boards, and an interchange
of ideas for mutual profit are
working a wondrous change in
this country. i
