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. ■■ ■ 1 ■ 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. MRS. H. J.
