Prospects For a Cotton Market. Conditions confronting the South in handling the 1915 cotton crop and the conditions a year ago are contrasted by W. I*. G. Harding of the Federal Re serve Board in the current issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin. The position of cotton to-day is much stronger, and iinnncial anti other condi tions are much better, than a year ago, in Mr. Harding's opinion, and if the people of the Soqth will not weaken their position "by unwise action," they have little to fear. "The cotton tragedy of 1014,” says Mr. Harding, "will be succeeded in HUG by nothing more than a drama." Mr. Harding warns the South, in its desire to see a broad market estab lished for cotton, to do nothing to em barrass President Wilson in his conduct of international affairs. "It should be remembered,” says Mr. Harding, "that the President owes u higher duty to the South, to the whole country and to mankind, at this junc ture, than the establishment of cotton vulueH. Serious complications between thiB country and any great foreign pow er certainly would not enhance cotton values. "There seems to he no question that ample funds can he obtained to finance in a normal way a much larger volume of cotton than was taken care of last year, and that even if Germany and Austria-Hungary should be forced to suspend cotton manufacturing entirely statistics show that the mills of the United States, Great Britain, Spain, Russia, Italy, Japan and China have spindles sufficient to absorb every bale of eotton that is likely to he cultivated. "It should he noted that the reduc tion in American cotton acreage this year amounts to more than 5,000,000 acres, and that Egypt and India have also made radical reductions in cotton acreage. It is probable that tho world’s cotton crop, bused on an average yield per acre, will be about 5,000,000 bales less than last year. "Cotton, unlike grain, ia a commodi ty the market value of which dopre- ciates in time of war, and the South as a producer of that commodity has suf fered. The actual position of cotton, however, is so much stronger than was the case a year ago, tho financial con ditions are so very much more favora ble, that there can be no doubt that if the South will keep cool and will re frain from merely weakening its own position by unwise action, the present nervousness regarding the market for tho growing crop will soon disappear. "Even in the face of the adverse conditions during the last I welve months the average price of cotton has been about what might have been expected for a 17,000,000-bale crop had there been no war, and there ia every reason to believe that the price of cotton dur ing the next twelve months will bo higher. "The real question is: Will Southern merchants and Southern bankers and all others interested in Southern trade, co operate in securing for the cotton- producer the benefit of this average price, and will the cotton-producers themselves do their part? My know ledge of Southern character and South ern business conditions justifies the belief that un affirmative answer will be given.” Resolutions on Pastor’s Resignation. Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev. R. M. Stevens, on account of failing health, has tendered his resignation as pastor of County Line Baptist church, after serving us faithfully for nearly five years. Therefore — Resolved, That, we as a church, ac- cepr his resignation with reluctance; that in his departure the church and community loses a competent teacher and a safe spiritual advisor. In all of his preaching it was his pleasure to admonish his tlock to right living ns taught in God’s Word, and swerved not when impressed to denounce sin in any form. Resolved, That as he had to leave us, the prayers and best wishes of this church will always be that God will in His wisdom restore him hack to health and to his little tlock that loved him so much. Resolved. That these resolutions he spread upon the church records, also that a copy be furnished The Christian Index and LaGrunge Renirter for pub lication. J. C. Webb, O. 1>. Hardy, J. B.

Two care-free days, kept sacredly free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday, with all its cares and frets, with all its pains and aches, all its faults and blunders, has passed forever beyond the reach of my recall. I cannot undo an act that I wrought; I cannot unsay a word that I said on yesterday. All that it holds of my life, of the wrongH, regrets and sor rows, iB in the hands of the Mighty Love that can bring honey out of the rock, and Hweet water out of the bitterest desert—the love that can make the wrong things right, that can turn weep ing into laughter, that can give beauty for aHhes, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy of the morn ing for ihe woe of the night. Save for the beautiful memories, sweet and tender, that linger like the perfume of roses in the heart of the day that is gone, I have nothing to do with yesterday. It was mine; now it is God’s. And the other day I do not worry about is to-morrow, with all its possi bilities, adversities; its burdens, its per ils, its large promise and poor perform ance, its failures and mistakes—is as far beyond the reach of my mastery as its sister, yesterday. It is a day of God's. Its sun will rise in roseate splen dor, or behind a mask of weeping clouds. But it will rise. Until then, the same love and patience that held yes terday and holds to-morrow, will shine with tender promise into the heart of to-day. I have no poSBLMsion in that un born day of grace. All else is in the safekeeping of the Infinite Love that holds for me the treasures of yesterday — the love that is higher than the stars, wider than the skies, deeper than the seas. To-morrow—it is God's day. It will he mine. There ib left for myself, then, but one duy of the week —to-day. Any man can fight the battles of to-day. Any woman can carry the burdens of just one day. Any man can resist the temptations of to-day. O, friends, it is only when to the burdens and cares of to-day, carefully measured out to us by the infinite Wis dom and Might that gives with them the promise, “As thy day, so shall thy strength be,” we willfully add tho bur dens of those two awful eternities— yesterday and to-morrow -such burdens as only the mighty God can sustain— that we break down. It isn’t the ex perience of to-day that drives men mad It is the remorse of something that happened yesterday, tho dreud of what to morrow may disclose. These are God’s days. Leave them with Him. Therefore, I think, and I do, and I journey but one day at a time. That is the easy day. That is the man’s day. Nay, rather, that is our day—God’s and mine. And while faithfully and dutiful ly I run my course, and work my ap pointed task on that day of ours, God the Almighty and All-loving takes care of yesterday and to-morrow. For a Sprained Ankle.

"A little while ago I was attorney for a man in a libel suit, and the question of veracity was injected into the pro ceedings. The other side called an ex pert to prove that most everybody lies, and he introduced some statistics. This man declared that in six months he had found that a legislator in thirty inter views had lied ten times. A doctor whom he had interviewed told fourteen lies in twenty-five meetings, and young lawyer in forty conversations hud departed from the truth twenty two times. An older advocate falsified twenty-eight times in forty conversa tions. Out of ten remarks by a bank er five were untrue, and one literally true statement was made with inten tion to mislead. A grocer in fifteen talks lied forty times, and the man’s grandmother, he said, managed to get in seven falsehoods in eight conversa tions.” Young married women, according to this expert, are more prone to tell little lies than others, for the young woman whom he had kept tab on told untruths fifteen times in eleven calls. In six months this man's servant girl, he de clared, told 150 lies. In all, he had kept account of 377 conversations, and there wore 324 lies. Of this number 100 were traceable to vanity: 00 were told to ad vance the speaker’s personal interests; fifty were put forth to conceal some embarrassing defect; fifty to injure some other person, and sixty to make excuses for not doing what had been promised.

One of the significant featur s of the present war is the small loss of battle ships. England has tfT -ctively shut out the merchant marine of Germany, and Germany in turn has retaliated with submarines. These destructive and unseen machines have created havoc among the smaller Hhips of several na tions. The great naval battle ia yet to be fought. The German navy is bottled up in the Kiel canal, and the battleships of England are in some mysterious harbor, waiting for the proper time to begin active fighting. No one would have believed that the end of the first year of a world's war would find each one of the belligerent navies larger than when the war began. Germany has launched her greatest and most com plete cruiser, the "Von Himlenberg," and has added many submarines since the war began. England has also con tinued to build ships. Only the mer chant marine has suffered. Several battleships and cruisers have been de stroyed, and several submarines have been sent to the bottom, but these losses have been insignificant when the magnitude of the war ia considered. The shipyards of the warring nations have more than kept pace with the de structive pewer of shells, mines, and torpedoes. Germany, France, Eng land and even Russia, have put into commission since Aug. 1, 1914, more warship tonnage than they have lost in action. July proved a typical month in the shipbuilding industry. It was also a notable month in naval losses. The German submarines were unusually ac tive in the English channel and tne North Sea. Before the war is ended we may ex pect a big naval engagement. It is not at all probable that Great Brit ain will keep her powerful navy idle. She will force Germany’s hand in some way. It will be the climax of a great struggle, and will be watched by the world. So far, the powerful navies of the old world seem to be useless. The impression gains strength that the sub marine is more to be feared than the hnttleship. So far, they have been de cidedly more effective. The End of the War. Macon News. Not in a day, nor in a month, will the war in Europe be terminated. A battle of tremendous loss will not end it, as Waterloo ’’ealcd the fate of Napoleon and closed the combat between the French and the allies in 1815. It will not be stopped by an humble surrender, like the surrender of Lee to Grant, nor by the laying down of arms, as was done by Cornwallis at Yorktown. No decisive engagement is possible in this gigantic struggle, what with battle fronts thousands of miles long and mil lions of men engaged. Nor is it pos sible to starve any one of the partici pating nations, in the manner in which Paris was besieged and France op pressed by the Germans in 1871. This war is going to end when either the allies or the Germans—more prob ably the latter—realize the futility of further lighting; when their financial resources are exhausted or almost drained, and when diplomatic finesse has run its long, tedious and tortuous course. The actual slaughter may cease months before the war is officially proclaimed at an end, but in the interim the diplomats, behind closed doors, will spar for points. There must be giving and taking by all parties—concessions, grants, the assessment of indemnities, and the conclusion of treaties for the guarantee of peace. In these particu lars the ablest, keenest minds will be pitted against each other. These men, seated around polished tables, will dis pose of nations, of peoples, of territori al possessions, and of billions, as calm ly as though they were trading at a bargain counter. After that it will be necessary for another conference of the nations, similar to the conven tion of the first Hague tribunal, for the mending and reformation of international law. The established principles of this system of jurispru dence regulating tho conduct of nations has undergone a severe test; indeed, it has been battered out of recognized shape in this war, and it will require treatment before it can acquire a solid basis again. So it is silly to predict that the war will end on a certain day or in a partic ular month. It will die a slow death, and its passing will not be regretted. The Cash in Advance Policy. American Press. "Cash in advance!" This is the stand which country news papers are taking with growing fre quency, and which is one of the great factors working for the advancement of the business affairs of these papers. That this stand is justified can be proved in any number of ways. To be gin wi:\ it must be remembered that the putilishor is under a constant finan cial strain. He must not, cannot, miss a single issue, whether these appear daily or weekly. Each issue costs a cer tain sum to produce. This cost is borne primarily by the advertisers, and, in the second place, by the subscribers. Cus tom has decreed that the advertiser shall pay after publication, which is as it should be. But custom has also decreed that newspaper subscribers pay in advance. This custom is found in every country. The trouble is that it is not always lived up to. This is particularly true of our country, and in the great majority of cases the publisher is himself to blame. Subscribers will pay in advance when they are taught that the paper cannot be had otherwise. They need the news paper, and they want it. Every pub lisher can enforce this rule by simply announcing that those who do not pay in advance will be cut off the subscrip tion list, it is done by the most pros perous country papers in the land. Receiving payment for subscriptions in advance puts into the publisher’s hand a certain amount of cash which he can use as a working basis for the fur ther production of his paper. His mate rials must be paid for, often upon de livery; his help must be paid for regu larly; he must have available funds for all sorts of emergencies. He can obtain a considerable part of this from paid in advance subscriptions. Another argument in favor of this rule is that the advertiser will prefer to use a paper which can show a paid up subscription list. People are more anx ious to receive that for which they have paid than that which comes to them free. It enhances the value of the pa per as an advertising medium to have paid up subscriptions. The business-like country publisher to-day is working on this basis. It is the only basis that does justice to the publisher as well as to the advertiser. Enforce it. Lige, an old darkey, was suing his wife for divorce, and stated in his alle gations that his wife had run off with another negro and that she refused to return and live with him. A party meeting up with Lige remarked: "Lige, I understand that you are su ing your wife for divorce?” "Ya-as, sir, boss; I done gone and sued her.’’ "Well, Lige, upon what grounds you bringing your suit?” "Boss, it’s jist like dis; She bin run’d off wid ’nudder nigger ’bout fo’ years ago, an’ 1 jist made up my mind to quit her.” On one occasion Gov. "Dick" Ogles by went down to Joliet to inspect the State prison, and in one of the cells he found a very ugly man. "How did you get in here?” asked Oglesby. "Abduction," wa3 the reply; "I tried to run off with a girl, and they caught me.” “I’ll pardon you as soon as I get back to Springfield," said the Governor; "I don’t see how you could expect to get a wife in any other way.” Arthur, aged seven, had carefully bitten out all the soft pieces of his slice of toast, neatly piling the crusts on the edge of his plate. “When I was a little boy,” said fa ther reprovingly, "I always ate my crusts. ” "Did you like them?” asked Arthur. "Of course I did!” lied the father glibly. "Then you may have these,” replied his son, graciously. Recommends Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
