It is the stranRpst and saddest of paradoxes that the misfortune, and even the sin of one man or nation, may he the Rood fortune of another man or nation. That there is great and grievous sin in the great war now going on in the world nobody questions. The only question is as to who was, and is, the greatest of the sinners engaged in this world-contest. Nobody can settle this question absolutely, so we may let it rest for the present, at least. Rut men of all shades of opinion nbout different aspects of the great war are at one on the proposition that it has brought to the United Slates such opportunities as have never come to it before in all ith history. These opportunities are, in the first place, material. Our factories have never had such openings before. The nations beyond the Atlantic are not only cutting each other's throats; they are cutting their own throats. It is reasonable to suppose that import of foreign goods will not be as largo again —certainly not at an early day ub it was before this war began. Our agricultural interests will be greatly benefited. At the close of the war the nations of Europe will be naked and hungry, and ready to per ish from want of all sorts. They must be fed and clothed; nnd this country muBt do it. Hence there will arise such a demand for our corn and wheat and cotton ns we have never known before, with a resulting impetus to our farming interests that has not come to us in generations. American commerce will hove — in fact, has already had- such a field of profitable activity as it has not had in fifty yenrs. It is a question of Amer ican enterprise as to whether we take our place once more in the carrying trade of the world; and American en terprise has not often failed in the hour of its opportunity. But the opportunity of this country is moral us well as material. It is for us to help the warring people to come to terms of peace. And, as never be fore, it is our opportunity to show the whole world the possibility and right eousness of ‘‘government by the people for the people.” One of the issues, and possibly the most vital issue in volved in the war, is autocracy against democracy. However the war may terminate, the latter will ultimately triumph. Militarism and imperialism are the enemies of human freedom and must die. And the United States can gladly help to lay them in their graves, and shod no tears nt their burial. WHEN WILL THE WAR END? It is only the truth, reverently spoken, to say that nobody this Hide of heaven knows. Lord Kitchener may or may not have said what he is credited with saying, viz; That he did not know when the war would end, but that it would begin in May; hut the prediction was true, whether this old iron-handed, iron- willed head of the English army made it or not. The world has never seen such fight ing in all its history as it will witness this summer. No cautious man will venture to predict what the outcome of this fighting will be. The Germans seem to be irapregnably fortified all nlong the line in Northern France and Belgium, from the borders of Switzer land to the North Sea. There would seem to be no opening anywhere for a flank movement of the allies. The German line of defense must be broken somewhere before there can be any decisive victory over the forces of the Kaiser. The concentration of sufficient forces at some vital point may make this possible, but the slaughter of men involved in such a movement is heart- sickening. In the east the situation is not quite so desperate, but even here a drawn battle has been going on for many months along a line hundreds of miles in extent. If the allies in the west had the same opportunities the Russians have in the east, it would be possible for them to inaugurate some offensive movement of a decisive nature. The I Russians may ultimately overrun | Hungurv and Austria, and thus force j the dual empire to sue for peace; i there are already intimations that 1 Austria would tie glad to reach terms with her invaders; but since Austria really brought the war on by her exac tions of Servia, it would be nothing short of treachery for her to desert j Germany now. But her course was j cowardly at the beginning, and it would i not be a matterof surpriseif she should J prove cowardly at this critical time. It is estimated that the war has al-] ready cost four million men killed, | wounded, or maimed for life. Its cost I in money is fifty million dollars a day. I Its indirect cost is beyond human com-1 putation. This cannot go on indefinite ly. It must stop some time. Exhaus tion of men and means is inevitable somewhere, some time, under this ter rible toll of war. But tins exhaustion will not come as soon as as we might suppose. Think how long the Southern Confederacy stood, and stood under conditions that were more unfavorable than cho come to any of the wurring nations at an early day. Peace may be ready to. break over the earth once more, but as yet the morning star has not sent, its beams of promise across the dark skies. plication for twelve month**’ support should not bo granted.

The records in the Department of Agriculture indicate conclusively that the use of fertilizer during this year will not be 00 per cent, of the amount used last season. During the previous entire season tags were Bold for l,2fi*5,- 098 tons of fertilizers, and of this amount tags were sold for 1,080,122 tons in January, February and March. During the first three months this year tags were sold for 524,032 tons. From these records we see that the purchases of fertilizers this year are 50.47 per cent, of the amount purchased last year, and we further see that about live sixths of the fertilizer used in 191) was purchased by the first of April or, rather, contracted for. It is evident, therefore, that the farmers of Georgia are cutting down their fertilizer bills one-half. All of this proves conclusively that the yield of cotton in Georgia this year will be less than last.
