In
Our New
Quarters
We are now established in our new quarters
on the corner of Jefferson and Madison
streets, and extend a cordial invitation to our
friends to drop in and see us.
We are beginning now to replenish our
stocks in preparation for the fall trade, and
shall be "ready with the goods" to supply ev
erything in our line that may be needed.
We advise our friends to keep cool and not

rope. Ours is a great Government, and will
provide means to take care of the South's
cotton crop. Be of good cheer. Everything
will turn out right in the end.

Big Chances for Us.
Now York Journal.
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

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.

An Enforced Lesson in Economy.
Albany Herald.
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. The magistrate determined to ap
peal to the boy’s father.
“See here,” said his honor to the pa
rent, "this boy of yours has been up in
court so many times for stealing chick
ens that I am tired of seeing him
here."
"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.”

Government Calls on States to
Cut Cotton Crop.
Washington, D. 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.
