v < The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 22. ONE DOLLAR A IN ADVANCR. YEAR 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. Don’t, he blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life. Go back and; advertise. Get ready for the most tremendouslboom that any na tion over Shad. Build your factories bigger.

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 CALOMEL DYNAMITES YOUR LIVER!

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. -• Life Insurance Refused.

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.

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 and, when asked to settle up, put it back in the postoffice and has it marked ‘refused. ’ ” The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because o( its tonic ami laxative effect.
