I’he Herald and Advertiser | NBWNAN, FRIDAY. OCT. 23. 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.” For sale by all dealers. "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!” The Governor’s wife was telling Brid get about her husband. “My husband, Brideet,” she said proudly, “is at the head of the State militia. ‘‘Oi t’ought as much, ma’am,” said Bridget, cheerfully; “ain’t he got th’ foine malicious look!” 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! Stop Those Early Bronchial Coughs.

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.

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." DECIDE Y0URSEIA The Opportunity is Here, Backed by Testimony.
