War is destructive and horrible, but it need not paralyze us in America— especially as we haven’t any war here. Wise men end wise nations make the best of every situation, and in every cataclysm look for something worth while. This is the time to build up American manufactures at home, and American trade abroad. The situation as it affects this coun try was reviewed briefly yesterday by an able citizen, Geo. J. Whelan. Here are some things he said. They will interest others who have succeeded in the American field of competition: “Right now American buyers and merchants should be purchasing all the American-made goods they can get their hands on. “The companies with which I am identified are laying in great supplies of everything they may need in the next few months. The important thing is to stock up the American trade first, as American merchants are not half prepared for the foreign trade which is sure to come. “Factories benefited by the stop page of imports should increase their working force immediately. “Don’t wait until commerce is re stored to normal. That will be the time to sell abroad and increase our ex port business. Buy now, and buy Americans goods first. “High priceB resulting from the European war are in one respect a good thing for the United States. They will force our people to recognize the wonderful trade possibilities suddenly opened to us. “Such opportunities were not only never presented before, but were never even dreumed of. “We should not semi any gold to Europe now in payment of our debts. “There is no moral question involved in the matter. “Europe has by law postponed the payment of debts in many instances through the moratorium, and there is no reason why America should not do likewise. “By withholding our gold we can compel Europe to take payment of our d ihts in produce and manufactures. “We are involved in a trade war with England ju9t as England is involved in a political war with other countries of Europe. “It is now a question whether Eng land or the United States gets the markets of the world lost by France and Germany through this war. We can have them if we will stand together in America like partners and present a united front to the British. “We suddenly have jumped from a Wilson low tariff to a McKinley tariff multipled by four—that is the practical effect of the war in a business way. “Propositions to advance the tariff do not help business so much because of the actual tariff, but because peo ple know prices are going to be higher. “That starts a buying movement, which ends in a business boom. “That is exactly what is happening now, and the merchant who does not begin to buy American goods immedi ately and the manufactuer who neglects to increase his output to the greatest possible volume are making a serious mistake.” Mr. Whelaa has a peculiar right to talk about “opportunity." He is not theorizing. His business history proveB that he knows opportunity when he sees it. The advice that he gives in the in terview above 13 valuable to citizens, young and old, who would like to seize and realize opportunity as he did— building up a series of gigantic enter prises, not one of them with a dollar in bonds, and all on a cash basis. The question for the United States and the citizens of the United States who know opportunity when they see it is this: Who will profit by the general dis turbance? Industry and trade are knocked t» pieces—who will get the pieces? England and Germany, the great trading nations, have dropped their trading and taken up the business of IW.Mau »DISCOVERT Ml Surely SJup That C«x«h.

American citizens do to valuable things that have »nd lost by the nations Sensible and Timely. J. W. Norwood, Banker, mGadory tS. C.1 taMlanr. 1 judge from the papers that hun dreds of thousands of young men have been killed or wounded in the European war during the past few weeks; I do not see any prospect of stopping the war until hundreds of thousands (possi bly millions) more are killed and wounded. In the meantime the Euro pean cotton mills to a great extent ate shut down. If the war should reach an end within the next three months. I think the cotton-growing States in the South would sutfer from the etfects of this war for from two to six years. The killed will certainly not be in the market for any cotton goods in the fu ture; the wounded will probably be able to buy less than formerly; the wo men and children of the families of the killed and wounded will not be able to buy as much as heretofore; the families of the men who arc not killed or wound ed, as a rule, will not be able to buy as much aB formerly, for the enormous expense of the war will tend to impov erish ail of Europe, and to a greater or less extent the entire world. The portion of the United States making foodBtulfs will probably reap a financial benefit. I think we should im mediately take steps to increase the production of foodstuffs in this State. We should sow wheat and vetch, oats and vetch, rye, clover and oats between our cotton rows. The Piedmont conn try grows wheat to advantage, and should sow quantities of wheat. Every farmer, and every man about town who has a garden, should plant every vege table that will grow in the winter. We should gather as much hay as possible this fall, pasture our stock as much as possible when they are not at work; save all our corn, which is bringing big prices; raise chickens—in other words, make at home as nearly every thing that we eat as possible. Jf we will make an effort along such lines, and plant not over one-fourth as much cotton next year as we planted this year, we may get a fair price for cot ton in a year or two. With the great decreased consumption in cotton goods, we now have enough cotton in sight to last, us approximately two yearH. If our people will go into planting grain pay more attention to hogs and cattle, and in addition stop spending money unnecessarily, we will be a happy and prosperous people despite the disas trous European war. If we do not practice rigid economy, and go to mak ing our foodstuffs at home, there bound to be great sutl'ering and finan cial disaster in the South; land will de preciate in value, and property will be sacrificed. “Nine-tenths of the people running automobiles had better run them under a shed and stop wearing out tires and using gasoline. Most of us had better wear our old clothes the next season, if we don’t want to be humiliated by not being able to pay our honest debts. If we once get to practicing a little more self-control and self-denial, we will find that it’s not so bad after ail. We should rely more on ourselves and less on the Government.” Every-Day Religion. Chrintlan Guardian. That religion which isn’t good for ev ery day isn’t much good for any day. If it doesn’t stay with a man on Mon day, it is only a cloak and a mockery on Sunday. If it doesn’t show itself in the home, breathing upon everyone therein a kindly and helpful and strengthening influence, then it will make a show in the house of God to very little purpose indeed. If relig ion doesn’t grip a man’s soul, if it isn’t the one thing in his whole life, Sunday and Saturday, day ,pnd night, then it becomes so near to being nothing that it is scarcely worth reckoning at all. When we speak of everyday religion, we speak of the only genuine kind of religion that there is. And it is its homely, everyday quality that will commend it to the world, and will in the end win for it the allegiance of the world. Religion is for every day. Its bless ings and benefits, its comforts and sweet consolations, its guidance and its inspiration, are for the commonplace days in the commonplace lives of com monplace men and women. It is some thing to take with one, something that will never be out of place anywhere, something that will add to life’s joy its best touch of sweetness, and will mix with all life’s sorrows, hope and cour age and power. A man who has every day religion in good, wholesome quan tity can easily afford to be without a good many other things. Don’t be Bothered With Coughing. Stop it with Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound.

While the South will sutfer no per manent injury because practically the whole of Europe is embroiled in war, temporary inconveniences which may be brieliy described as “too numerous to mention" are inevitable. We are already experiencing many of them, and pessimistic prophets delight to as sure us that "the worst is yet to come.” We do not share the gloomy forebod ings of those who can see only trouble ahead, though we fully realize that this country, and particularly the cotton- producing States, must inevitably suf fer many discomforts before normal conditions are finally restored. Blit a season of “hard times” will have its recompense. In fact, disagree able though the unvarnished truth may sound, we really need a few enforced lessons in personal economy. During the last few years the South has been unprecedentedly prosperous. Crops have been large and the prices at which they were marketed high. Mon ey has been plentiful and comparatively easy to get. Development has moved forward on an unprecedented scale, and ambitious plans for expansion have been rapidly launched. The possibility of a period of industrial depression such as now confronts us apparently was not considered, and we were therefore in a state of unproparedness for condi tions which the war has suddenly forced upon .us. We have been spend ing with a lavish hand, and economy has been considered quite unnecessary. With money, it has been a case of “easy come, easy go. ” We have, be cause of our prosperity in a time of plenty, become a prodigal people. Now, however, we are going to have to take account of the nickels and the pennies. While stirring appeals are being made to the Government for as sistance in a time of dire need —when the problem of holding a large part of the cotton crop till better times shall come, casts a colossal shadow over the land—each family must solve its own living problems. It is a time which calls for the exercise of rigid economy —a time when extravagances will inev itably be followed by more or less ex tensive disaster. And the lesson, we repeal, will be good one for us. It comes at a time when we seem to need to be reminded that every purse has a bottom, and thut the "rainy day," though it may be long in coming, is sure to dawn. Just now there seem to he a good many rainy days ahead, and while there is no occasion for alarm, there most assured ly is occasion for the exercise of g-eat prudence and the most careful econo my. It is not going to be a pleasant lesson, though it is sure to prove i profitable one. We need it. The Closing of the Cotton Ex changes. Philadelphia Record. The South, for the most part, has bfaen clamorous for the suppression of trading in cotton futures for many years, but The Cotton and Cotton Oil News, of Dallas, Texas, takes the Bame view that has been expressed in this paper, that the cotton-grower is now suffering chiefly from the closing of the exchanges. It says; "Even a blind man can sen that the closing of the exchanges and the elimination of speculators have closed the cotton markets and put the cotton-grower en tirely at Ihe mercy of a few spot buy ers for the mills. The cotton-grjwer is forced to accept any price offered him.” Not quite; he can refuse to sell. But he needs the money, and closing the exchanges lias driven off the multi tude of buyers. Thai’s precisely what he lias been clamoring for, and it inex actly that which is ruining him. “Even a blind man can sec" that, but can the cotton-growers of Texas and other States see it? Into the police court of Mobile there had been haled for the fourth time a negro boy, chaged with chicken-steal ing.

"I doesn’t blame yo’, Jedge,” said the father, "an’ I’s tired ob seein’ hirn here. ” "Then why don't you teach him how to act 7 Show him the right way, and he won’t be coming here.” "I has showed him de right way, Jedge,"said the old man, very earnest ly, "I has cert’n’y showed him de right way, but somehow dat wuthloss nigger keeps gittin’ caught cornin’ ’way wif de chickens.” How To Give Quinine To Children.

C., Sept. 11.—After long consideration, officials here are convinced that the Federal Government can take no further steps to aid cotton producers to meet the unusual conditions caused by the Eluropean war. The Treasury Department has announced its determination to accept warehouse receipts as a basis for additional national bank currency, but the friends of a plan for the valorization of the cotton crop have not succeeded in con vincing Government officials of its de sirability. Officials who have studied the situa tion feel that any remedy to be taken lies in the cotton men themselves, and in the State Legislatures. Some of these students believe that a valoriza tion of a part of the present crop by the cotton-producing States is entirely feasible and would prove helpful. The idea is held here among Government experts also that State Legislatures, whore necessary, should pass legisla tion to limit the crop next year, and for succeeding years, if desired. It was pointed out to-day that fur ther Federal measures to aid the cot ton men might bring down on the Government a demand from other! sec tions for similar assistance. Those familiar with conditions in the cotton- growing States say it has been demon strated for years that a reduction in the amount of the crop would work no hardship, but be advantageous to the producers. Fast efforts to insure such a reduction, however, have failed, and the chief hope now is in legislation taxing over-production. Those interested believe a reduction in cotton-growing would mean that thousands of acres of productive land would be turned over to other and more profitable crops, which would insure a market for the cotton produced. The proposed conference of Governors of Southern States, recently suggested by the Governor of Alabama, is attracting attention in this connection. Cost of Firing Big Guns. Every time a big English gun is fired $1,500 goes up in smoke and splash, and there are !)72 such guns in the fleet which Admiral Cullughan led out of Spithead when the war broke out. Tor pedoes cost ten times as much, but they have the advantage, from the tax-pay ers’ point of view, that they can be picked up again after they have been fired in practice. If the twenty-seven British dread noughts now in full commission were sent oil an eight-hour full-power coal- burning run they would consume 4,230 tons of fuel, running up a bill of some $15,000. If a single dreadnought battle squad ron of eight ships were ordered to steam at full speed for twenty-four hours and to fire each gun and each tor pedo tube once, the cost to the nation would be approximately $1,000,000, al lowing nothing for the depreciation of material. The dropping of bombs from Zeppe lin airships upon the city of Antwerp on the night of Aug. 2-1, resulting in the killing of six men and four women and the wounding of eight persons, all non- combatants, has raised the question as to the right of nations to engage in such warfare. The law of humanity is higher than treaties. It cannot be outraged without arousing resentment more powerful than armies on the field. All the fighting nations are looking for the sympathy of the world, and are appealing to the judgment of mankind as to the righteousness of their cause. Does anyone of them Bup- poBe that it can vindicate its cause and at the same time outrage the law of humanity by making war on women and children?—Washington Post.
