What is the Matter With the Uni
ted States ?
Herbert N, Cannon.
"What is thejmatter with the United
States ?"
As I have been residing in London
Bince the beginning of the war I have
been hearing this question asked on all
sides. I have never heard a satisfac
tory answer. No one seems to know.
Why‘are 1 the American factories not
running night Hnd day? Why are the
raiirnadn'not opening up new territories
and gettingjready for the millions of
immigrants who have already made up
their minds to leave Europe us soon as
the war is,over?
Whyi'are there not fifty American
drummerB in London right now, trying
to Helll$20d,000,000 worth of American
goodsi.inj.place goods that were
bought [last year;,from Germany and
Austria?
Why havo'Iadvertisera become quit
ters, just at the'time when their adver
tisements were most needed and most
efTectivoJin] cheering on the business
forces[of thellJnitedJStates?
I' rom the European point of view the
United Statesjm a haven of peace and
security [andli|prosperity. It has no
trouhles^that it dare mention to Bel
gium or Austria or France or Germany
or Serviu or Great'Brittain or Russia.
Every tenth Briton [ has enlisted.
Every tenth Frenchman islat the front.
Every [tenth i Belgian is dead. What
does theJIInited StateH know [of trou
ble?
If I could afford it, I wouldllchiirter
the "Mauretania" and "Lusitania” and
convey a party [of 5,000 Americun ad
vertisers to Europe for a trip of educa
tion. 1 would] give them [a week in
London, a week in]Paris, and a week in
Antwerp.
1 would let them look at the United
Slatos from the seenejof war. I would
give them a look] of real trouble. I
wouldjllet (them see trains, ten at a
time, (lve]]minutes apart, packed with
the maimed and the dying.
I would let [them hear, from frag
mentary survivors, the incredible story
of battlefields [ 15()J{ miles] wide, and
armies that aroj greater thun the en-
tiro population ofjTexas.
I would let them,[see]' graves 100
yurds long, and full and)'.Belgium, the
country that was, nothing now hut 12,-
000 squure miles of wreckage.
Then, when]!theyjbegan to under
stand, to some slight extent, the mag
nitude and uwfulneBS of this war, I
would say]to them:
"Now go",hack ami appreciate the
United Slates. Realize your oppor
tunities. I>on’t]Htart [digging trenches
when nobody is][flring ut,jyou. D>n’t
fall down when you have not been hit.

For the Would-Be Engaged Girl.

Do not let thoughts of love and
marriage fill your mind so that no
other tupies can interest you.
Do not think that any husband is
better thun none, and so accept an of
fer merely for the sake of being
married.
Do not forget that the girls who are
most successful in marrying happily
are those who try their beBt to prepare
themselves to ho good wives before
they are murried.
Do not play at courtship; this dan
gerous habit has spoiled many a girl’s
chance of marrying happily.
Do not imagine that because your
parents do not at once give their con
sent they are monsters of hard-hearted
ness; they are older and wiser than you,
and it is right that thev should use
their experience in your behalf. Per
haps one day you may be thankful that
they were cautious in the matter.

It is a satisfaction to read the op
timistic statements of Bradstreet and
commercial agencies generally with re-
speet to the future.
Careful investigation upon the part
of these great authorities fails to de
velop anything whatever that is funda
mentally wrong with the business situ
ation.
They say crop outlooks are fine, man
ufacturing industries are resuming op
erations, and everywhere men are be
ing put to work. Everything rests
upon a firm and substantial foundation.
Notwithstanding this, however, it is
still true that there is much depression
in the hearts of the people.
Business men are none too happy, as
they contemplate the days to come.
Merchants shake their heads doubtfully
when told that times are growing bet
ter and that the skies are brightening
up.
What is the trouble, then, notwith
standing the reassuring words of the
big commercial agencies?
I am not a financial bigwig, and I
know very little of markets, trade
balances, etc.
I have an idea about this business
situation, however, that I believe em
bodies the only Berious difficulty now
confronting our people.
I believe the one and only thing that
clouds the financial horizon now is the
The Nimble Dollar.
Wilmington Star.
A contributor to the Rockingham (N.
C. I Post, in a recent issue, gives some
sound, sensible advice anent the pres
ent unusual conditions existing in the
country, anti the advice given would go
a long way toward relieving conditions,
if acted upon promptly. The Post wri
ter presents what he terms an absolute
ly accurate statement of six days’ work
of $100; Here it is, in paragraphs:
"Jan. 1, borrowed from bank by the
planter and paid to his merchant, who
mails it to his wholesaler.
"Jan. 3, received by wholesaler and
mailed to manufacturer.
"Jan, 6, received and mailed by man
ufacturer to parties he owes for raw
material.
"Jan. 6, received by seller of raw
material and paid to his hank for bor
rowed money.
"The original hank made a loan of
$100, the planter a payment of $100, the
retail merchant, a payment of $100, the
wholesaler a payment of $100, the man
ufacturer a payment of $100, and the
raw material man a payment of $100.”
Thus it is shown that in six days that
$100 has done the work of $600; has
paid $500 of indebtedness and is as good
as it ever was, ready and willing to do
the same work every other six days.
What a world of relief would come if
the people would only do their duty to
themselves and to each other and keep
Tale of Two Cities.
App***) to Reason.
Dickens wrote "A Tale of Two Cit
ies.” Here is another, in this case the
two cities are Boston and St. I.ouis.
The time was the same, A. D. in
the glad Christmas season.
In St. Louis a Pomeranian dog, be
longing to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Thomp
son, died after an illness that was at
tended by several physicians.
In Boston a f rail German woman of
30, leading her child of 3, wandered the
streets, seeking work. Every day for
more than a week she applied for work
at the municipal employment bureau.
In St. I.ouis the dead dog was giver,
a $600 funeral. It was "laid to rest in
a white brocaded casket, its head on a
pillow of roses and a blanket of narcis
sus covering its tiny form.”
In Boston the despairing mother,
when told there was no work for her,
collapsed into a chair and broke into
sobs. "Have you had any breakfast?”
asked the matron. "No,” was the re
ply; "my little boy was so hungry I
gave it all to him.” "Did you have
any supper last night?" "No; my man
walked the streets all day looking for
work, and he was so tired and hungry
when he came home that I gave it all
to him.”
In St. Louis flowers were piled high
around the casket of the little Pomera
nian. “He was the darlingest dog in all
the world,” wept his mistress over the

stagnation of collections.
If people would pay what they owe,
there would be no trouble in any quar
ter.
If a farmer owes a merchant, and
the merchant owes a jobber, and the
jobber owes a wholesaler, and the
wholesaler owes a manufacturer, and
the manufacturer owes a bank, I don’t
see how things are going to move un
less somebody starts a liquidation. It
is all very well to talk about holding
cottdn, cutting down the acreage, di
versifying crops, and doing a lot of
things like that, hut none of that is re
lieving the present, situation.
There are small merchants and large
merchants all over the South to-day
whose business affairs are ull hut par
alyzed for no reason in the world but
because of their inability to collect
what is due them. And this is true,
notwithstanding the fact that a g' eat
many people who owe are perfectly
able to pay, but simply are not paying.
I believe that if every man in the
State of Georgia to-day who owes
money would come squarely to the
scratch, making some sacrifices if
necessary, and pay what he owes, the
next day would see every particle of
the present depression removed, and
there would be no possible trouble
about the future.

Circumstantial Evidence.
AutfiiRtii Chronlclo.
The citizen had for a long while, along
about Christinas time, been buying tur
keys from a negro who lived in the
swamp country.
Recently he gave a special order.
“Jim, bring me in a turkey Saturday —
but a tame one; I do not wunt a wild
one this time."
"Yes, sir; all light, boss.”
The turkey arrived all right. Served
at dinner Sunday, shot were found in
the poultry. The purchaser went in
search of the negro the next day and
found him.
“Jim, you black rascal, didn’t I tell
you that 1 wanted a tame turkey for
dinner Sunday?”
“Dat’s what I fetched you, boss.”
"You are lying, nigger; when we
were eating that turkey we found shot
m its flesh.”
“Boss, dat's all right. Dent shot
wasn't meant for dat turkey; den shot
was meant for me, boss.”
Jim's version will be nccepted. The
circumstantial evidence was misleading.
"Lifted” the bird; did not shoot him.

Cough Medicine for Children.
Never give a child a cough medicine
that contains opium in any form. When
opium is given other ami more serious
diseases may follow. Long experience
has demonstrated that there is no bet

colds and croup in children than Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy. It is equally
valuable for adults. Try it. It con
tains no opium or other harmlful drug.

Bill Nye hpd the truth well told when
he said: “A man may use a wart on the
back of his neck for a collar-button;
ride in the back coach of a rail-oad
train to save interest on his money till
the conductor gets around; stop his
watch at night to save wear and tear;
leave his ”i” or “t” without a dot or
cross to save ink; pasture a mule on his
mother’s grave to save corn;—but a
man of this sort is a gentleman and a
scholar compared to the fellow who will
take a newspaper two or three years

back in the postoffice and has it marked
‘refused. ’ ”
