No Federal Aid in Sight for Cot
ton.
Washington, D. C., Oct. ir,.-Tht>
Sou'll must look to thu resources of its
StMte Governments rather than to Fed
eral aid for any real relief from the
financial stringency that th-catena to
lollow demoralization of the cotton
market, in the opinion of W. p. u.
Harding, a prominent Alabama h inker
and a member of the Federal Reserve
Board. In a statement issued here to
night Mr. Harding urged that immedi
ate relief measures be taken in the sev
eral States to tide over a situation he
said was now "becoming acute.” He
made it clear, however, that his sug
gestions were not in the nature of an
official expression emanating from the
Reserve Board, but set forth merely
his personal conclusions.
Mr. Harding’s statement was ad
dressed particularly to the people of
Alabama, in support of the plan recent
ly suggested by Senator Bankhead for
extensive purchases of cotton by the
State Government, to be paid for by an
:ssue of State bonds.
"What is really needed is a market,”
said Mr. Harding, “and as there is r.o
adequate natural market for the time
lieing, the question reverts rs to wheth
er an artificial market can be created.
Attempts have been made to create
Fuch a market through the National
Government, hut it is clearly impossi
ble, both from a legal standpoint and
for practical reasons, for the Govern
ment of the United States to uid either
as a purchaser of cotton or as a lender
upon it -as security. Much valuable
time has been lost in pursuing this
phantom hope, and the sooner our peo
ple abandon the chase the better. If
anything is to be dune towards creating
an artificial market, such action must
be taken by the Southern States for
themselves.
"Senator Bankhead's plan does not
provide for any new or additional in
debtedness, but seeks to change the
form of liabilities already incurred by
converting individual debts into obliga
tions of the State. When he proposes
that the State of Alabama purchase
one-half of all the cotton actually grown
within her borders at a price represent
ing what is probably the average cost
of production. (10cents per pound,) and
that payment be made by an issue of 4
per cent, bonds payable on or before
three years after date, he points out
the way to establish an artificial mar
ket, by means of which the cotton sur
plus in Alabama can be carried over be
yond the clanger point, and he has in
rhy opinion suggested the most practi
cable way of securing imnediate and
effective relief.
“I have taken occasion to ask jobbers
and bankers in various sections of the
country for their views, and I do not
believe that any creditor of an Ala
bama farmer or merchant would hesi
tate to take those Alabama cotton bonds
in liquidation of obligations, for in most
cases the only security they now have
is equity in the cotton in the hands of
thousands of individual holders, for
which there is no cash market. This
apparent purchase of cotton by the
State would be really a mobilization of
debts and a concentration of assets."
Toned up Whole System.
"Chamberlain’s Tablets have done
more for me than I ever dared hope for,"
writes Mrs. Esther Mae Baker, Spencer-
port, N. Y. "I used several bottles of
these tablets a few months ago. They
not only cured me of bilious attacks,
sick headaches and that tired out feel
ing, but toned up my whole system.”

"Can a patient have typhoid fever
twice?” asked the overly anxious wife
of a convalescent Clevelander.
“Why, certainly,” answered the busy
physician. “There is nothing to pre
vent a return of typhoid or pneumonia,
or—”
“But,” she interrupted, “can nothing
be done to' prevent a person from
having it again?”
“Why, certainly,” repeated the
medico, in whose bright lexicon this
was one of the most useful phrases.
“Well, then, how can a patient be
sure that he will never catch typhoid
fever a second lime?”
“He can die the first time!”

“My husband, Brideet,” she said
proudly, “is at the head of the State
militia.

Travel at Home.
European travel should ftivo p^op’e
broader views and more general intel
ligence. Forsoms.it has been in
extravagnnee and useless spending. It
may be worth all it costs, yet it does
drain hundreds of millions of dollars
annually from our country.
On August 1 Europe closed up its
hotels- Htnl railroads, opened its cem
eteries, and went into the killing busi
ness. If the war ends soon, many
curiosity seekers miy then go over,
much as the ghoula flock to a railroad
disaster. Normal people will find
Europe in turmoil for several years.
Everyone having leisure and money for
travel may well take this time to famil
iarize himself with the wonders to be
seen at home.
The war should teach a renewed re
spect for American ideas and institu
tions. While the poweis of Europe
have been loading themselves up with
the barbarous implements of slaughter,
America has been making better high
ways, educating its children, removing
disease, and improving its farms.
While Europe is now destroying
matchless relics of the past, America
has been erecting churches and monu
ments, painting pictures and carving
statues. Much of this work is crude,
hut much is very wonderful. While
foreign powers are working off the
cruel fevers of barbarism, let us here
at horns value at its true worth all that
our own builders and artists have done.
There ought now to he in every
American heart a renewed affection
for his native land. It should stand
for him as the home of peace, as the
land where love and science arid labor
are the ideals, not blood and iron.
One should realize better the gorge
ous scenic beauty of our fair land, and
feel deeper interest in the abounding
energy of American achievement. Let
the traveler then, until Europe repents
of its wild insanity, seek to learn more
of what God and man have done for his
own native land!

Prohibition in the South.
Philadelphia Record.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of recent years has been the
growth of prohibition sentiment in
Southern States, the latest phase of
which is Virginia’s adoption of this
policy. Of the ten States now com
mitted to prohibition of the liquor traf
fic, seven—Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vir
ginia and West Virginia—may be classed
as Southern or border commonwealths,
while only three—Kansas, Maine and
North Dakota—are in the North. In
some other States, such as New Hamp
shire and Vermont, prohibition exists
practically, thuugh it has not been put
into the Constitution.
Two causes have combined to incline
Southern communities to this anti
liquor attitude. One is the undoubted
growth of genuine prohibition senti-
! ment, and the other is the desire to
! prevent the sale of whiskey and beer
! to negroes in the interest of public nr-
i der. * In some cases prohibition has
been taken up as a Democratic slogan,
and has been cirried to victory by the
prestige of that party. The South is
now the “dryest” part of the country —
a condition of affairs which seems
hardly in keeping with its well-de
served reputation for hospitality and
fondness for distillations of its own
corn juice. Even Kentucky, whose
fame has rested larrgeiy upon its pro
duction of whiskey, has been llirting
with prohibition in a way that has given
the cold shivers to some of its old-time
colonels. Still, we have never heard
tha r . anyone vinously inclined suffered
from unquenchable thirst during a so
journ in the Southland. Prohibition
has its vagaries there as in Maine, and
the mere presence of a law on the
statute liookH does not mean that ab
solutely no liquor is consumed within
the State limits.

Bravery of a Boy.
Yj'ith’o Companion.
"One of the bravest acts witnessed
during tho Civil War," said an officer of
the Army of Virginia, ”wus that of a
young soldier who was probably not over
six een. We had thought of him ss only
a hoy, although he went with the regi
m -it on all of its marches and lived
with ir in all its encampments.
"One day there was a fierce engage
ment. In the midst of it a bullet struck
this hoy in the breast and he fell. Our
Colonel ordered the men to dismount,
and lie himself sprang from his horse.
The hoy called out, in a weak voice, T
will hold your horse, Colonel!’
“Stopping in the midst of tho storm
of bullets to gaze in pity on the white,
boyish face, the Colonel said, ’But you
can’t do that, lad—you are dying.’
“ ’I know 1 am, Colonel,’ the gallant
hoy replied, ‘hut 1 can hold the reins
when 1 am dead.’
"The Colonel placed the bridle in the
trembling bends and went forward.
When the fight was over he hurried
back and found the hoy lying dead, the
bridle reins still wrapped tightly round
his limp right hand."
