THE COTTON SITUATION
AS SEEN IN ENGLAND
“LIVERPOOL COTTON LORDS”
ARE SUPPORTED BY ENGLISH
BANKS IS NOW CHARGED.
WILL KEEP THE MARKET GLOSED
And Prevent Mills Getting Raw Cot
ton. Spinners Indignant Over Con
tinued Close of Exchange. Too
Many Conflicting Interests.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press says: Discussing the plight of
American cetton growers the Cotton
Factory Times, a prominent English
trade paper, says: ‘lt is to be hoped
that, for their sakes as well as ours,
the planters will get through without
serious loss. The call for cotton will
come in due time, and it is essential
in the general interest that it should
then be forthcoming in sufficient
quantities, which could hardly be the
case if the growers were ruined or
very severely hit at the present
time.” :
The World Record has prepared a
table, based on figures of the Inter
national Cotton Federation, which
show that about one-half of the cot
ton produced in America for the year
ended September 1, 1913, was used
by the countries now at war. Great
Britain, Germany, France, Austria,
Russia, Belgium and Japan are rep
resented as consuming 7,534,934
bales out of a total of 14,503,757
bales. Tltaly, Spain, Portugal, Hol
land, Sweden, Denmark and Norway,
which took 1,193,887 bales of cotton
in 1913, are also more or less seri
nusly affected by the war.
Cotton spinners at Manchester
were much disgruntled by the action
of the Federation of Master Spinners’
Associations in runnnig short time.
For a time wmserious labor troubles
were threatened. But conditions in
the cotton market have now become
so bad that complete suspension of
cotton manufacturing plants seems
imminent unless the government
finds some way to offer relief.
Spinners are indignant over the
continued closure of the Liverpool
cotton market and have inspired ef
forts to effeet direct business rela-
THE DAWSON NEWS.
The Davis-Davidson Compamny
tions between the growers and con
sumers of cotton, thus eliminating
the Liverpool cotton dealers. The
Manchester Guardian and other
prominent papers located in cotton
manufacturing centers, while admit
ting that such a plan might be de
sirable, say it would require a long
time to handle cotton direct because
of the great amount of machinery re
quired to take care of it properly
and the necessity for the careful
grading which Liverpool dealers
have afforded.
Speaking of the proposed elimina
tion of Liverpool interests from the
cotton trade the Cotton Factory
Times says: ‘‘Cotton planters in
America have already considered the
necessity of protecting themselves
against the Liverpool interests, and
it is reported that they have decided
that no cotton shall be planted next
year. This is of course meant as a
warning that if their stocks of mate
rials are not taken off their hands
now a greatly enhanced price will be
charged for it later on.
“Opinions may differ as to whether
some of the present dislocation of
trade could not be avoided, but it is
daily becoming more clear that there
are too many conflicting interests at
work in the business, which makes
it very difficult for trade to move.
And those in interest seem bent on
blaming each other for some portion
of the present unsatisfactory posi
tion.”
Thomas Temperly of Bolton in a
letter on the plight of the cotton
trade charges that ‘“Liverpool cotton
lerds’’ are supported by English
banks in keeping the Liverpool cot
ton market closed and preventing
mills from getting the supply of raw
coiton they need. This is much the
same position taken by Gordon Har
vey, a member of parliament, who
charged that Liverpool interests
maintain an artificial cotton market
and even when the Liverpoo! market
is open do not permit trading unless
prices are in their favor.
Direct {importation of cotton to
Manchester by the manufacturers
who require it is urged by Mr. Tem
perly.
DAWSON, GA., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 3, 1914.
OTHERWISE THESE BAPTIST
DEACONS ARE ALL RIGHT
Minister Says They're Thermos Bot

l ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—The most
iserious problem churches face today,
particularly the Baptists, is furnish

fnothing more than moral thermos

religious fire occasionally because

CZAR FORBIDS THE
SALE OF ALCOHOL
Russian Press Enthusiastic Over the
Emperor's Declaration. Savings
Accounts Show Increase.
PARIS.—A Petrograd dispatch to
the Havas Agency says the Russian
press is enthusiastic over a declara
tion by the Russian emperor that the
sale of alcohol by the government is
forever forbidden in Russia.
The Russian Union of Abstinence,
which devotes its energies to the
combating of alcoholism, addressed
to Emperor Nicholas a solicitation
that he forbid the sale of spirituous
liquor in Russia. His majesty replied
in the telegram sent to the Political
Alliance: “I thank you: I long ago
decided to interdict for all time in
Russia the sale of alcoholic drinks.”
The Novoe Vremya of Petrograd
cites as a happy effect of the sup
pression of the sale of liquor, an
increase in saving bank deposits dur
ing September of 23,000,000 roubles,
($11,500,000) over the same month
last year in spite of the war.
The Wars Are Fought By Boys.
That war is fought by boys is a
familiar truth that we often forget.
But the records of our own civil war
prove it overwhelmingly. The depart
ment rolls show that in the great
conflict between the states there were
enlisted in the army of the North
2,778,309 men, and of these 25 were
10 vears old and younger, 225 12

TOO MUCH CALAMITY
I(.‘()NSTANT WAILING IS GIVING
THE NORTH THE IMPRESSION
THAT SOUTH IS BROKE.
BADLY INJURED ALL BUSINESS
Belief in Some Sections That Farm
¢rs Down Here Can’'t Get the Food
They Need. Time to Muzzle the
Calamity Howlers.
There has been too much wailing
land calamity howling on the part of
Ithe Scuth. It has hurt this section
seriously in certain sections of the
North.
Reports from the North and East
indicate a belief, to a certain extent,
that many of the farmers down here
are starving and are really lacking
the ability to get the food they need.
| Reports of this kind are coming
Yespecia]ly to some of the farm trade
;jnurna]s that depend upon the North
;and East for a large part of their
|advertising. Manufacturers in those
'sections are cutting down their ad
!vertising because of this impression,
‘and it is affecting not only those
' journals but newspapers generally as
' well. Producers take the view that
| there is no use for them to advertise
%their wares where everybody is broke
'and where the farmers, as they have
'been told, haven’t enough to eat.
i Southern newspapers generally
;are beginning to realize that perhaps
gthere has been a little too much
' gloom shed on the situation, and are
'as a rule pursuing a different tack.
! It would seem that Northern and
Fastern business men lose sight of
tha fact that the South has 15,000.-
l‘m‘\ bales of cotton. in addition to all
years and over, 1,151,438 18 years
and under, 2,159,798 21 years and
under, and 618,511 22 years and
over.
Thus the average of the whole
army was 19.7 years. Wheu war thus
takes away the young manhood of
the country who can estimate its
cost?
of its other products; and if the en
tire crop brought no more than 7
cents a pound it would still mean
$525,600,000, which is some real
money, even if it did only just about
pay the cost of production.
The continued cerying of hard times
has veen almost as serious a setback
as the lack of demand for cotton.
‘“We have hurt ourselves more
than we know by all this shouting of
calamity,” said a well known Geor
gian, “and it looks to me as if it
will take us a ]ong’time to recover
from it. As a result of it we have
made ourselvee believe that we are
worse off than we really are, and we
have made others believe that we are
absolutely poverty-stricken. We have
simply suffered a temporary check.
We are gradually overcoming that,
and T believe the time is not far off
when we will be in better shape than
any other section. Tt may take long
er to bring it, however, on account of
the excessive amount of wailing we
have done.”
It is true that efforts were being
made to bring out the better side,
and send the calamity howler to cov
er. If the people had realized the
danger in it there is little question
that there would have been less of it.
STANDARD OIL
CONTROL OIL MILLS?
Mississippi Atterney General Claims
to Have Discovered Gigantic Com
bine to Fix Price of Seed.
Every little while a new story hobs
up to the effect that the Standard Oil
Company has been guilty of wrongful
practice in a business way. Whether
they are true or not has not been
proven, but they continue to appear
at frequent intervals. The latest one
appears in the New York World as
a dispateh from Jackson, Miss., and
is to the effect that Attorney General
Collins of Mississippi has discovered
a gigantic combine controlling the
cotton oil mills of the South and that
back of and over them all is the
Standard Oil Comnany. A secret so
ciety known as the ‘“Sons of Plato”
is alleged to have been discovered,
the object of whose existence is to fix
the price of cotton seed in many
states. By all means let Attorney
General Collins try to find out if
there is any basis for the alleged dis
covery. The whole country will be
very glad to learn the truth about it.

LONDON HEARS OF THE AMER
ICAN PLAN TO PROPOSE AN
ARMISTICE OF ONE DAY.
JEWISH RABBI ORIGINATES IT
Movement Is Sanctioned by Distin
guished Leaders of Various Creeds
in America. All May Unite in a
Plea For Peace.
The London Daily Mail has receiv
ed a dispatch from its correspondent
in New York saying that leading cler
icals and educators there have under
discussion a movement to have the
warring powers agree to an armistice
on Christmas day. Bishop David l?
Greer, Cardinal Farley, Rabbi Men
des of the Jewish Synagogue in New}
York, and President Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia University are
mentioned as interested. |
The movement is all the more re
markable in that the idea of observ
ing the day of ‘“peace on earth”
should have come, as it apparently
did, from a rabbi. It is from Dr.
Mendes, too, that the larger purpose
of an effort by all religious creeds
and sects for permanent peace comes.
Rabbi Mendes received the corres
pondent on a sick bed, from which
the rabbi has been unable to move
for some time. His face lighted up as
he spoke of his dream that men of all
religions should unite in a plea for
peace. Bishop Greer, speaking of the
movement, said: ‘‘lt seems to me
that if religion has any force in the
world, and I believe it has, its voice
ought to be heard right now. For
we: have had enough ecarnage and
there is enough ruin, and I believe
that public opinion in every land
ought to insist first upon a truce, and
second upon the creation of an inter
national tribunal of honor with pow
er behind it to enforce its decisions.
1t seemed to me that the church
ought to take the initiative, and I
therefore suggested that the leaders
of the Catholic, Protestant and Greek
churches and of the Jewish syna
gogue in this neutral country of
America—twenty or thirty in all—
meet to prepare for action when the
time for action comes.” :
