THEN AND NOW.
Memphii Commercial- Appeal.
In year« gone by the 1 at of Septum-
bpr marked the beginning "f things in
the South.
During the months of July and Au
gust business men sat quietly in their
stores, shops and warehouses, awaiting
the opening of the cotton Buason.
Hankers took a vacation. The far
mers, the plowing being over, sat in
the shade of trees and awaited picking
time. There was nothing for th *m to
do on the farm. There was noth
ing much for the merchant to do
in the town but wait. The big
planter went off to the watering places.
Nowadays the energetic Southerner
is busy every month in the year.
Fewer people go to the North and to
resorts. They have something to do at
home, and they enjoy doing it.
This change shows the marvelous de
velopment and progress of the South.
This summer our people have been
busy harvesting wheat and hay, hand
ling truck, and doing some fall plowing.
Some are filling silos think of it. you
farmer of 1890 or 1900!
Hut there is renewed activity in the
South, beginning with September, and
this September finds us in a vastly
■different condition from that of last
September.
Last September we were like one on
a ship alloat on an uncharted sea. The
hull was Hound, but our hearings were
lost, and we were adrift. The world's
war was getting under way. Von
Kluck was swinging his matchless le
gions in a long sweep toward Paris.
Already he had croBBed over historic
fields where in the past armies had
long ago struggled for the mastery.
He had brushed by fortifications where
in times gone by the forces of civiliza
tion* had made their last stand against
the hordes that came rustling out of the
Far East.
The French had been beaten in the
neighborhood of Sedan; the English
were retreating and firing, and singing
to keep up their courage.
Kitchener had just told Parliament
that we might expect a long war.
The French were resorting to the
desperate expedient of reforming the
■cabinet. The western tide of the tier-
man invasion was at its flood.
With us the yellow blood of com
merce. gold, was departing from the
body of business. The exchanges were
closed and England and France had de
clared a moritoriam. They stopped
paying us the debts they owed us, and
then told us that unless we paid what
we owed them our credit would be
destroyed. Money began to slip out of
the savings banks. Tne buckskin belt
and the family sock were again brought
into requisition.
The memory of what wns going on
this day n yenr ago is ns a nightmare,
One wholesale druggist in Memphis
got bis breath quicker than anybody
else, and published an advertisement
saying that if we could not stop the
war we could live with the war.
Now ice ore living with tin 1 war!
This year every unfavorable condi
tion has been discounted. We have
taken stock. The country has made up
its mind to live with the war, no mat
ter how long it lasts
Already the United States has be
come the money-center of the world.
There is more money in New York
than at any time in its august history.
An American paper dollar is as good
as gold at any bank in any civilized
country. English, Herman, Russian,
French and Italian paper money is at a
high discount. ,
English paper money is lower than it
ever was in the history of finance —
since man began to draw bills of ex
change.
If the war lasts another year the
United States will not only have a tre
mendous gold balance, but the country
will buy back many of the securities
now held in foreign lands.
The war has not troubled our friends
in the Northwest. They grow things
t) eat. Nations light on their behies.
There was a steady and rising market,
then, for all the food supplies the
Northener and Westerner had to sell.
Within the Inst six months manufac-
E. G. Hudson's Statemout.
E. G. Hudson, Chatnblee, Ga.. writes:
"East year I bought and tried Foley's
Cathartic Tablets. I have tried many
cathartics, hut for a thorough cleans
ing movement of the bowels, without
the slightest inconvenience or sickness,
I believe the Foley Cathartic Tablet the
best on >ar:h. It’s the perfect cathar
tic. with no had effects.” Everybody
suffers occasionally from indigestion or
constipation, so Mr. Hudson's experi
ence is worth remembering. Stout per
sons sav these table's relieve that
'‘heavy” feeling. J. F. l,ee D.ug Co
turers of iron, brass and copper, and
thoie other things that go for war ma
terial, have been busy.
We of the South have been the big
gest sufferers on account of this war.
The war smashed the tobacco market.
It broke the cotton market, and it
paralyzed the lumber business.
In spite of this blow at our principal
articles of commerce we are better
off to day than we were a year ago.
We have brought forces into play
that a year ago we regarded as trivial.
Seeing how our Northwestern friends
got rich by growing something to eut,
we went into the business of producing
things to eat. No matter what we get
for cotton this year, we will not have
to spend the surplus for hay and feed
and corn, and for canned goods. That
is, those of us who have not been lazy
or foolish.
The lumber business is better. There
is a better demand for tobacco.
Cotton will fetch more money this
year than it did last year.
Business will be better this fail than
it was last fall.
We have progressed far within twelve
months toward making ourselves self-
sustaining. We should learn one lesson
from the war: The Germans are
fighting the world to-day, and making
a good fight of it because they are a
self-sustaining people.
England thought a few months ago
that she would starve Germany to
death. Germany will never lose be
cause of a lack of food supply. If the
Germans had not been a self-sus
taining people at the outbreak of the
war they long ago would have been
forced to yield because of empty
stomachH.
We can profit by the thrift of the
Germans in the matter of living. We
are beginning to learn the lesson.
No matter if cotton—every pound of
it—sold for 15 cents this year, we can
insure our industrial and financial in
dependence for all time forward if we
develop all the lines of production which
we undertook in the year 1915.
We are not going to permit the cot
ton we grow this year to be ^sacrificed,
and the money we get for it we can
spend part with our neighbor for some
thing that he may have grown that we
are shy of, instead of sending it into
a fnr country.
If the bankers and the merchants and
the planters and the manufacturers in
the South co-operate this year, as they
are promising to do, we will be within
striking distance of agricultural, com
mercial and financial conditions where
we will be our own masters. After
personal liberty, the greatest blessing
that a man cun have is commercial and
financial independence.
We were in a bad way Sept. 1, 1914.
We are GOING FORWARD this Sept. 1,
1915.
Confidence in ourselves, our neighbors
nnd our country, along with co-opera
tion and energy, will put us in a com
manding position, in spite of wars and
rumors of wnr-

Tribute of Respect.
BY TilK MISSIONARY SOCIETY or Till-: FIRST MKTII-
OlilsT CHURCH.
On July 16, 1915, as the day was
merging into twilight, the spirit of Mrs.
Sallie Moreland Hungerford left its
home of disappointment and suffering
for its home of eternal joy, bliss and
light. She will be missed by her church
nnd missionary society. Although de
prived of attending the meetings on ac
count of bodily pain, we felt that her
prByers, sympathies nnd cheerful gifts
were with us. "A willing mind is first
uccepted of the Lord.” This she pos
sessed, and gladly would she have gone
in and out in service to her Lord if it
were possible. During the winter
months, when the society held its
meetings in different homes, we can see
now her bright, sweet fuce when we
met with her devoted daughter, Mrs.
Ben Kirby. That look of interest and
earnestness was an inspiration to ev
eryone presont. We know where she is
now. O’er the heights of the heavenly
land she feels the joy of the gifts she
cast into the treasury while here to
spread the blessed gospel; and, who
knows, she may be in the presence of
some one from the far-off heathen land
brought to Christ through her prayers
and offerings. Hers was a strong,
magnetic personality. It did one good
to be with her.' A feeling of courage
and determination to overcome pos
sessed you as you went from her pres
ence.
Though absent from us, her sweet in
fluence still lingers to strengthen this
band of Christian workers to more de
termined zeal in personal work and
more liberal gifts, and extend the work
in the home land and across the seas.
Ab a society we offer our deepest
sympathy to her children and relatives
at her going from them. May the same
strong Power that sustained her in her
hours of suffering comfort and bless all
the bereaved ones, and help them to
realize that mother is not dead, but that
‘He giveth His beloved sleep.”

Commissioner Price Sticks to His
Estimate o( a Month Ago.
Atlanta, Sept. l.'L — Estimates of the
Georgia cotton crop made by the State
Department of Agriculture, over the
signature of Commissioner J. D. Price,
are hut a small fraction under those
made by Eastern agencies of well-
known bearish tendency. It is a re
markable fact that while these Eastern
people are publishing estimates of 66.5
per cent, of an average crop, Commis
sioner Price's estimate was 67 per cent.,
or just one and one-half percent, under
them.
"After visiting many counties in the
State, in Southern, Middle and North
ern Georgia,” Commissioner Price said
to-day, "I am more than satisfied that
my estimate of the cotton crop is, if
anything, a little too high. I am grati
fied to note that the Northern and
Eastern people, who spare no expense
in the matter of getting their estimates,
are only 1.5 per cent, above me. They
figure 68 5 per cent, of an average
crop, while my estimate was 67 per
cent.
"The price of cotton right now, as
compared with last fall, looks good to
me; and, while I am not over-optimistic
about it, I am gratified to note that the
regional bank and its associates are go
ing to lend money to farmers on cotton
at 6 per cent., in case the farmer pre
fers to borrow at this rate of interest
and settle his debts instead of selling at
present or similar prices.
"Fortunately, we are not confronted
with the same conditions we had to
contend with last year, when there was
no price, and no money to be had ex
cept at exorbitant rates of interest.
Conditions now are better. There is
plenty of money, and the bankers and
buBir.eBB men generally seem to be
friends of cotton.
"There is one important feature of
the situation, brought about by the re
duction in acreage and the reduction in
the use of high-grade fertilizers. As
pointed out by Mr. Anderson, of the
Macon Telegraph, have you stopped to
think that, if the war continues, our
facilities for obtaining potash to make
high-grade fertilizers will be worse
next year? We have no supply of pot
ash on hand, and, necessarily, the crop
will be as short, or shorter, than this
year, which points to a good price for
cotton. It is at least fortunate that
the reduction in yield raises the price
to whore the farmer may realize almost
as much money as if he had a big crop.
"Now, Mr. Farmer, it is up to you to
raise your home supplies and be inde
pendent. Have the buyer come to you
and ask what you will take for the cot
ton you have on hand, instead of being
worried to death as to who will buy it
und what price he' will give. Plenty of
hog and hominy is the solution of the
whole problem.
"The long-dreaded boll weevil has at
last appeared in South Georgia. Some
fifteen or eighteen counties are already
infested. The State Board of Entomol
ogy, of which I am chairman, has called
a meeting at Thoniasvilie, in connec
tion with business men and different
chambers of commerce of that section,
to devise plans to prevent the spread of
this pest, and to minimize, in so far as
is possible, its effect upon our next
crop. It is important that every possi
ble step to this end be taken, as the
work of the weevil will affect directly
or indirectly everybody in the State.
Neither this department nor the State
Board of Entomology will spare any
pains or effort in assisting the farmers
of Georgia to successfully combat this
peat.”
Worth Their Weight in Gold.
“I have used Chamberlain’s Tablets
and found them to be just as represented,

and other symptoms denoting a torpid
liver and a disordered condition of the
digestive organs. They are worth their
weight in gold,” writes Miss Clara A.

Obituary.
On the last day of the year 1849 was
born Uigdon Edward Siimms, son of
Benjamin and Nannie Edwards Simms.
When two years of age he was bereft
of his mother. After this he became
all in all to his grandparents. When la
ter his father chose another bride he
gave due reverence and obedience to
this faithful wife and good home moth
er. He was a gentle child, and grew up
a gentleman. He was a Christian, and
so orderly snd righteously did he walk
that many are surprised to know that
he was not a church member. The
Great Plan puts blood before water,
and, while he acknowled his Redeemer,
he shrank from a public confession, and
so never went down into the watery
grave, the door to the church and sym
bol of death to sin. Diligent in busi
ness, he added to the fortune left him
by his ancestors. Not telling his left
hand the deeds of his right hand, he
reached forth help to the needy. Es
pecially kind and considerate was he to
his tenantry.
In early life he married Miss lone
Fielder, of Alabama. Of this union two
daughters were born, one of whom pre
ceded him to the heavenly home.
He went softly all his days, and af
ter living the years allotted to man he
has fallen asleep, and rests in hope of
that eternal day when the earth shall
be rejuvenated.
Peace to his ashes, ap a sweet memo
ry of him abides in the household so
bereft. I. B. H.
New nan, Ga., Sept. 10, 1915.
His Rest Was Broken.
O. D. Wright, Rosemont, Neb., writes:
"For about six months 1 was bothered
with shooting and continual pains in the
region of my kidneys. My rest was
broken nearly every night by frequent
action of my kidneys. 1 was advised by
my doctor to try Foley’s Kidney Pills,
and one 50 cent bottle made a well man
of me. I can always recommend Fo
ley’s Kidney Pills, for I know they are
good.” This splendid remedy for back
ache, rheumatism, sore muscles and
swollen joints contains no habit-form
ing drugs. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Gov. Harris has explained his position
as regards including the prohibition bill
in the call for an extra session. He re
quests the people of Georgia who want
the bill included to immediately advise
him to that effect. We think this a very
broad-minded and sensible move on his
part, as the people will have to defray
the expense of the extra session and
therefore should have some voice in the
matter.— Montezuma Georgian.

Hughes Would Die, Bat
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
/
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although 1 did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should b«
kept in every family chest.
