THE PRICE OF COTTOS.
The recent rise in the price of cotton
has been something of a surprise, even
to those who are familiar with the
erratic fluctuations of the threat staple.
Thp crop last year was the largest
ever made. The stocks on hand in the
South and in the Eastern markets are
perhaps larger than ever known before
at this season of the year. The Groat
War goes on, with no prospect of im
mediate peace. The shipment of cot
ton to Europe is inevitably hindered by
the Gorman submarine raids and the
English semi-blockade; yet within a
few weeks past cotton has gone up
about a cent a pound. And at this
writing the tendency is still upward.
There are several reasons for this ad
vance. For one thing, cotton is one of
the essential commodities of the world’s
needs, and consequently of its com
merce, to-day. The war has not
changed this fact. Its uses are mani
fold, and constantly multiplying. It is
a necessary part in the manufacture of
the very ammunition with which the
great armies of Europe are slaughter
ing each other. And the world will
never need less cotton, but more and
more, as time goes on. This gives a
stability to the market like that of
grain and other necessities. It is only
because of the handicap placed upon
commerce and manufactures that the
price has been so much demoralized;
otherwise the present crop would have
paid the farmers of the South, though
it is probable that oven had there been
no war the price would have been lower
than it was a year ago.
Hut there is one fact in connection
with the present price which, if ignored
by the farmers of the South, will make
the recent advance an unmitigated mis
fortune to them and to this section.
There is a widespread belief that the
acreage of the crop this year will be
materially reduced, added to which is
the knowledge that the amount of com
mercial fertilizers used will be much
smaller than it has been. All this
points to a smaller crop. And it is
upon this belief that the price of cotton
has advanced so rapidly recently. If it
should turn out that cither or both of
these assumptions should proveto be un
warranted, the price would drop to
figures rivaling the low quotations of
the past few disastrous months.
The greatest misfortune that could
happen to the South, outside of war
itsolf, would be the ruising of a large
cotton crop in 1915.
/.Y.V.4 77; NORIUTY.
Ex-President William Howard Tuft
may not be a good politician. In fact,
there is pretty good reason to think
that he is not. Possibly he is too hon
est to succeed very well in the role.
Somehow let those who know explain
why—it seems that downright, uncom
promising honesty is not a good equip
ment for a successful politician. Hut
that Mr. Taft is u good man, a gen tie-
man und u patriot, there can be no
doubt. His whole course since his dis
astrous defeat in 1912 has been of the
kind that can only mark the life of a
man who is controlled by the highest
ideals of honor and magnanimity.
The average man, with a like expe
rience, would have grown bitter and be
come a veritable lsbmaelite in politics.
Hut whatever disappointment Mr.
Taft has felt and he must have felt
much has not turned to unmanly
whining and resentment. His attitude
towards the administration of Presi
dent Wilson has been unselfishly and
nobly patriotic. He has recognized,
as few seem to have recognized,
the difficulties attending the conduct of
our National Government at this time,
and has urged the people, regardless of
party affiliations, to give President
Wilson their hearty and unqualified
support.
If one would see the course of ex-
President Taft in its best light, let him
contrast it with that of Theodore Roose
velt.
Senator Hardwick made a speech at
Moultrie on Friday last in which he
undertook to explain and justify his
course in j lining the Republicans in
their light on the Ship-Purchase Hill.
It was a feeble effort, and explained
nothing that his Democratic constitu
ents did not already know - i. e., that
he bolted his party on a strict party
line-up. and helped the Republicans de
feat one of the most important meas
ures before Congress. In the course of
his Moultrie speech the Senator de
clared with theatrical emphasis, “I am-
my own man!" So it seems—suit
seems.

The greatest cotton crop ever pro
duced in the United States was grown
in 1914, according to statistics given
out by the Census Bureau at Washing
ton. Final ginning figures place the
1914 crop at 16,102,143 bales of 500 lbs.
The Supreme Court of Mississippi, in
a decision handed down the other day
upholding the law barring liquor from
social clubs, said: "If you want to keep
a dead man, put him in whiskey; if you
want to kill a live man, put whiskey in
him."

TEN WEEKS IN BED EMINENT
PHYSICIANS FAILED—WON
DERFUL RECOVERY.
1 wish to inform you of the great
benefit 1 have derived from the use of
Swamp-Root. I bad been a sufferer
for more than twenty years from kid
ney and liver trouble and was almost
constantly treated by the most emi
nent physicians, who could only give me
temporary relief. 1 had been in bed
ton weeks when 1 began the use of
Swamp Root. Inside of twenty-four
hours 1 could see that 1 had been great
ly benefited. 1 continued to use Swamp-
Root until I bad used several bottles,
when 1 really felt that my old trouble
was completely cured, and I am posi
tive that any person suffering with kid
ney or liver trouble can be cured by
the use of this preparation.
I am now in the best of health, bet
ter than i have been for ten years or
more. 1 do not know how to express
myself ns strongly as I desire, in favor
of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, as I am
sure that it saved my life and that my
good health is due entirely to this
great remedy. I heartily recommend
it to every sufferer and am confident
they can be benefited as I have been.
It is a pleasure for me. gentlemen, to
band you this recommendation.

THAT COLD YOU HAVE
may bring sickness, doctors bills and
loss of work; you know that serious
sickness usually starts with a cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Remember that.
Overcome the weakness and nature
cures the cold—that is the law of
reason. Carefully avoid drugged pills,
syrups or stimulants; they arc only
props and braces and whips.
It is the pure medicinal nourishment
in Scott’s Emulsion that quickly en
riches the blood, strengthens the lungs
and helps heal the air passages.
And mark this well—Scott's Emul
sion generates body-heat as protection
against winter sickness. Get Scott's
at your drug store to-day. It always
strengthens and builds up.
